(Supporting mechanism of the gaming machine body 12)
Next, the support mechanism 40 of the gaming machine main body 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 is a partially cutaway view of the gaming machine main body 12 of the pachinko machine 10, FIG. 3 (a) is a front view showing the main configuration of the support mechanism 40, and FIG. 3 (b) is a view in FIG. FIG. 3C is a sectional view taken along line A1-A1, FIG. 3C is a sectional view taken along line B1-B1 in FIG. 3B, and FIG. 3D is a sectional view taken along line C1-C1 in FIG. .

  As shown in FIG. 2, the support mechanism 40 is provided at one end on the lateral side of the outer frame 11 of the pachinko machine 10 and the gaming machine main body 12, and in detail, is provided on the left in front view. The support mechanism 40 includes an upper support mechanism 41 disposed at the upper end, a lower support mechanism 42 disposed at the lower end, and a movable body disposed so as to be sandwiched between the upper support mechanism 41 and the lower support mechanism 42. 43. In addition, the pachinko machine 10 is provided with an operation mechanism 44 that allows the support mechanism 40 to be operated from the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the upper support mechanism 41 includes a metal upper support 45 provided in the outer frame 11 and a metal upper support provided in the gaming machine main body 12. And a supported body 46. The upper support mechanism 41 supports the gaming machine main body 12 in a rotatable manner with respect to the outer frame 11 by an upper support 45 and an upper supported body 46. The lower support mechanism 42 includes a metal lower support 47 provided on the outer frame 11, a metal lower supported body 48 provided on the gaming machine body 12, and a lower support provided on the outer frame 11. It comprises a metal support plate 49 that receives the side support 48 from below. The lower support mechanism 42 supports the gaming machine main body 12 rotatably with respect to the outer frame 11 by the lower support 47 and the lower supported body 48, and lowers the gaming machine main body 12 by the support plate 49. I support from.

  A metal moving body 43 extends in the vertical direction between the upper support mechanism 41 and the lower support mechanism 42 of the outer frame 11. The side surface of the moving body 43 is parallel to the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11, and a step portion 430 bulging in the lateral direction is formed on the side surface of the moving body 43 opposite to the outer frame 11. . The length of the stepped portion 430 in the vertical direction is substantially the same as the length of the movable body 43 in the vertical direction, and the front surface of the stepped portion 430 is vertical for contacting a part of the back of the gaming machine main body 12. A pressing surface 431 is formed. The moving body 43 is formed with a pair of upper and lower moving body restricting portions 432 as movement restricting means for the moving body 43 and a pair of upper and lower moving body urging portions 433 as moving urging means for the moving body 43. . Here, the movement of the moving body 43 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3C and 3D.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, the moving body restricting portion 432 is formed with a lateral moving hole 432a that penetrates the moving body 43 in the lateral direction and is a long through hole in the front-rear direction. Further, a lateral shaft 432b rises from the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11 toward the moving body 43, and the lateral shaft 432b is inserted into the lateral movement hole 432a. Thereby, the moving body 43 can move within the range of the length in the front-rear direction of the lateral movement hole 432a. Further, the tip of the lateral shaft 432b is bent in the vertical direction, and the moving body 43 is prevented from coming out of the lateral shaft 432b in the lateral direction. In addition, a recess is formed on the side surface of the moving body 43 corresponding to the bending of the lateral shaft 432 b so that the lateral shaft 432 b does not protrude from the side surface of the moving body 43.

  As shown in FIG. 3D, the moving body urging portion 433 is formed with a moving body recess 433 a in which the rear surface of the moving body 43 is recessed in the front direction. In addition, a rear side wall portion 433b that rises in the horizontal direction is formed from the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11. A moving body spring 433c, which is a coil spring, is disposed between the moving body recess 433a and the rear side wall portion 433b, and the moving body 43 is urged forward.

  With the above configuration, the moving body 43 moves rearward and moves forward from the first position where the lateral shaft 432b contacts the front end of the lateral movement hole 432a, so that the lateral shaft 432b moves from the rear end of the lateral movement hole 432a. It can move in the front-rear direction up to the second position where it abuts, and is biased forward by a moving body spring 433c. The moving body spring 433c is fixed to the rear side wall portion 433b so that the moving body 43 does not come out of the moving body urging portion 433 regardless of the position of the moving body 43.

  Next, the upper support mechanism 41 will be described with reference to FIG. 4A is a cutaway view in which the D1-D1 line cross section in FIG. 3 is partially broken, and FIG. 4B is a cutaway view in which the E1-E1 line cross section in FIG. 4A is partially broken. . In FIG. 4, dot hatching is given to the moving body 43 for distinction from other configurations.

  In the upper support mechanism 41, the upper support shaft 450 formed on the lower surface of the upper support 45 and standing downward is inserted into the upper shaft hole 460 that is a through hole formed in the upper supported body 46 and penetrating in the vertical direction. Thus, the gaming machine main body 12 is rotatably supported with respect to the outer frame 11. The upper supported body 46 is bent downward on the rear side so that the moving body 43 contacts the front surface of the moving body 43 when the moving body 43 moves forward. An upper movement restricting portion 451 bulges toward the moving body 43 from the lower surface of the rear portion of the upper support 45, and is in contact with the upper end of the moving body 43. The upper movement restricting portion 451 is formed with an upper movement hole 452 that is a through hole penetrating in the horizontal direction and long in the vertical direction. Further, an upper shaft 453 rises from the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11 to the moving body 43, and the upper shaft 453 is inserted into the upper movement hole 452. Thereby, the upper support body 45 is movable in the vertical direction within the range of the vertical length of the upper movement hole 452.

  Here, the vertical length of the upper moving hole 452 is set to be longer than the vertical length of the upper support shaft 450 of the upper support 45. Further, the tip of the upper shaft 453 is bent in the horizontal direction, and the upper support 45 is prevented from coming out of the upper shaft 453 in the horizontal direction. A recess is formed on the side surface of the upper movement restricting portion 451 corresponding to the bending of the upper shaft 453 so that the upper shaft 453 does not protrude from the side surface of the upper movement restricting portion 451. An upper spring 454 that is a coil spring is disposed between the upper surface of the upper support 45 and the upper wall portion of the outer frame 11 to urge the upper support 45 downward.

  With the above configuration, the upper support 45 can move within the range of the vertical length of the upper movement hole 452, and when the upper support 45 moves to the upper support position that is the lowermost end of the movement range, the upper support shaft 450 is inserted into the upper shaft hole 460, and the upper support 45 is in a state in which the gaming machine main body 12 is pivotally supported with respect to the outer frame 11. On the other hand, when the upper support 45 moves to the upper release position that is the uppermost end of the movement range, the upper support shaft 450 comes out of the upper shaft hole 460, and the upper support 45 moves the gaming machine main body 12 to the outer frame 11. The shaft is not supported. Further, since the upper support 45 is biased toward the upper support position by the upper spring 454, the upper support 45 is maintained in a state in which the gaming machine main body 12 is pivotally supported.

  The upper support 45 can move between the upper support position and the upper release position as the moving body 43 moves. This movement is realized by the lower surface of the upper movement restricting portion 451 in the upper support body 45 coming into contact with the upper surface of the moving body 43. Specifically, the upper surface of the moving body 43 includes an upper inclined surface 434 that is inclined downward toward the front, and a substantially horizontal surface on the rear side of the upper inclined surface 434. On the other hand, the lower surface of the upper movement restricting portion 451 is inclined so as to go downward as it goes forward. When the moving body 43 is disposed at the first position, the lower surface of the upper movement restricting portion 451 and the upper inclined surface 434 are in contact with each other, and the upper support body 45 is disposed at the upper support position.

  Accordingly, when the moving body 43 moves forward from the first position, the upper inclined surface 434 presses the upper movement restricting portion 451 forward, and the upper support 45 is moved upward by the inclination. Move to the upper release position. Further, while the upper movement restricting portion 451 is in contact with the rear surface of the upper inclined surface 434 within the movement range of the movable body 43, the upper support 45 is not moved and kept at the upper release position. It is. As a result, as the moving body 43 moves, the shaft support of the upper support body 45 and the release of the shaft support can be performed, and the movement range of the upper support body 45 accompanying the shaft support can be limited to space saving. It has become.

  In addition, the upper support shaft 450 of the upper support 45 is moved upward until the moving body 43 moves forward from the first position until the back surface of the upper supported body 46 comes into contact with the front surface of the moving body 43. The inclination of the upper inclined surface 434 and the upper movement restricting portion 451 and the location where the moving body 43 is disposed are set so as to be in a state of coming out of the upper shaft hole 460 of the support body 46. Thereby, it is possible to release the shaft support of the upper support mechanism 41 without moving the gaming machine main body 12. Further, the play of the upper shaft hole 460 with respect to the upper support shaft 450 can be set narrow from the viewpoint of the stability of the shaft support.

  Here, an upper moving protrusion 455 formed on the upper movement restricting portion 451 is formed on the moving body 43 so that an external force is not directly applied to the upper supporting body 45 to move the upper support 45 to the upper release position. The upper moving rail 434a is supported from above. Specifically, the upper movement protrusion 455 is formed so as to protrude laterally from the lower end of the upper movement restriction portion 451, and the upper movement rail 434a stands upward from the upper surface of the moving body 43 and extends in the front-rear direction. The upper moving rail 434a is bent in the lateral direction and is engaged with the upper moving protrusion 455.

  Thereby, the vertical movement of the upper support 45 without the movement of the moving body 43 is restricted. In addition, when the upper support 45 is disposed at any position, it is impossible to move the upper support 45 without the movement of the moving body 43. However, the upper moving rail 434a applies an external force directly to the upper support 45 in at least the case where the upper support 45 supports the upper supported body 46, so that the upper moving rail 434a does not move the moving body 43. It is only necessary that the support 45 is not moved upward. That is, when the upper support body 45 is disposed at the upper support position, the upper support body 45 only needs to be locked to the moving body 43, and when the upper support body 45 is disposed at the upper release position. The upper support 45 may not be locked to the moving body 43.

  An upper protective cover 456 is formed on the outer frame 11 so as to cover the upper support 45 from above. The lower end of the upper protective cover 456 is substantially horizontal with the upper surface of the upper supported body 46. Thereby, at least in a state where the gaming machine main body 12 is pivotally supported with respect to the outer frame 11, it is impossible to operate the upper support 45 from the front of the gaming machine main body 12.

  Here, the gaming machine main body 12 is arranged so that the outer edge of the upper frame portion of the outer frame 11 and the upper end of the gaming machine main body 12 overlap the outer frame 11 and the outer edges of the left and right side frames of the outer frame 11. It is mounted so that the left and right side edges of the machine body 12 overlap. In such a pachinko machine 10, the upper support mechanism 41 is disposed inward from the outer edges of the upper frame portion and the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11. Specifically, the upper support 45 provided on the outer frame 11 is disposed below the outer edge of the upper frame portion of the outer frame 11 and to the right of the outer edge of the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11. Has been. Further, the upper support 45 is disposed below the outer edge of the upper frame portion of the outer frame 11 in any of the upper support position and the upper release position. Further, the upper end of the upper protective cover 456 is disposed below the outer edge of the upper frame portion of the outer frame 11, and the left end of the upper protective cover 456 is disposed to the right of the outer edge of the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11. Yes. As a result, the upper support mechanism 41 is arranged in a range that does not protrude outward from the outer edge of the outer frame 11, and the gaming machine with respect to the outer frame 11 as described above in a limited island facility space. The main body 12 can be rotatably supported.

  Further, when the upper support 45 is disposed at the upper support position, the lower surface of the upper support 45 and the upper surface of the upper supported body 46 are in contact with each other. The upper support shaft 450 of the upper support 45 is inserted into the upper shaft hole 460 in the upper supported body 46 from above. Thus, even if the upper shaft hole 460 is to be moved upward, the peripheral edge thereof is in contact with the base plate of the upper support shaft 450 from below, so that it cannot move upward. Accordingly, the gaming machine main body 12 is restricted from moving upward at least when the upper support 45 is disposed at the upper support position.

  Next, the lower support mechanism 42 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A is a partially cutaway view taken along the line F1-F1 in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5B is a broken view taken partially along the line G1-G1 in FIG. . In FIG. 5, dot hatching is given to the moving body 43 for distinction from other configurations.

  In the lower support mechanism 42, a lower shaft hole which is a through-hole formed in the lower supported body 48 and penetrating in a vertical direction is formed on the lower support shaft 470 formed on the upper surface of the lower support 47 and rising upward. The game machine main body 12 is rotatably supported with respect to the outer frame 11 by being inserted into 480. The lower supported body 48 is bent upward at the rear side so that the lower body 48 contacts the front surface of the moving body 43 when the moving body 43 moves forward. A plate-like support plate 49 is disposed between the lower support 47 and the lower support 48. The support plate 49 is also formed with a support plate through hole 490 that is a through hole penetrating in the vertical direction at a position corresponding to the lower shaft hole 480, and the lower support shaft 470 is inserted through the support plate through hole 490. . Thus, the lower support 47 supports the gaming machine main body 12 so as to be rotatable with respect to the outer frame 11.

  The support plate 49 is supported by the outer frame 11 such that the upper surface thereof is substantially flush with the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11. The support plate 49 and the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11 extend so as to protrude forward from the bottom surface of the gaming machine main body 12 when the gaming machine main body 12 is mounted on the outer frame 11. The upper surface of the support plate 49 and the lower surface of the lower supported body 48 are in contact with each other. Thus, the support plate 49 supports the lower supported body 48 of the gaming machine main body 12 from below, and the gaming machine main body 12 moves forward from a position where the lower supporting body 47 can be pivotally supported. In addition, the lower support body 48 can be supported from below. In order to ensure the stability of the gaming machine main body 12, the gaming machine main body 12 is supported from below by the support plate 49 and the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11 over the entire lateral length of the bottom surface of the gaming machine main body 12. It is supported. The upper surface of the support plate 49 may be subjected to a friction reduction process.

  From the upper surface of the rear portion of the lower support 47, the lower movement restricting portion 471 bulges toward the moving body 43 and abuts against the lower end of the moving body 43. The lower movement restriction portion 471 is formed with a lower movement hole 472 that is a through hole that penetrates in the horizontal direction and is long in the vertical direction. Further, a lower shaft 473 stands from the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11 toward the moving body 43, and the lower shaft 473 is inserted into the lower movement hole 472. Thereby, the lower support 47 is movable in the vertical direction within the range of the length of the lower movement hole 472 in the vertical direction. Here, the length in the vertical direction of the lower movement hole 472 is set to be longer than the length in the vertical direction of the lower support shaft 470 of the lower support 47. Further, the tip of the lower shaft 473 is bent in the lateral direction, and the lower support 47 is prevented from coming out from the lower shaft 473 in the lateral direction. A recess is formed in the side surface of the lower movement restricting portion 471 corresponding to the bending of the lower shaft 473 so that the lower shaft 473 does not protrude from the side surface of the lower movement restricting portion 471. Further, a lower spring 474 that is a coil spring is disposed between the lower surface of the lower support 47 and the lower wall portion of the outer frame 11 to urge the lower support 47 upward.

  With the above configuration, the lower support 47 can move within the range of the longitudinal length of the lower movement hole 472, and when the lower support 47 moves to the lower support position that is the uppermost end of the movement range. The lower support shaft 470 is inserted into the lower shaft hole 480 and the support plate through-hole 490, and the lower support 47 is in a state of pivoting the gaming machine body 12 with respect to the outer frame 11. On the other hand, when the lower support 47 moves to the lower release position which is the lowermost end of the movement range, the lower support shaft 470 comes out of the lower shaft hole 480, and the lower support 47 is connected to the gaming machine main body. 12 is not supported with respect to the outer frame 11. Further, since the lower support 47 is urged toward the lower support position by the lower spring 474, the lower support 47 is maintained in a state in which the gaming machine main body 12 is pivotally supported. Furthermore, since the lower support 47 is arranged at the lower edge of the outer frame 11 or above the lower frame 11 in any position, the movement range of the lower support 47 is the vertical direction of the outer frame 11. It is within the range of the direction and the horizontal direction, and the above operation is possible within the limited space of the island facility.

  The lower support 47 is movable between a lower support position and a lower release position as the moving body 43 moves. This movement is realized by the upper surface of the lower movement restricting portion 471 in the lower support body 47 coming into contact with the lower surface of the moving body 43. Specifically, the lower surface of the moving body 43 includes a lower inclined surface 435 that is inclined so as to go upward as it goes forward, and a substantially horizontal surface on the rear side of the lower inclined surface 435. On the other hand, the upper surface of the lower movement restricting portion 471 is inclined so as to go upward as it goes forward. When the moving body 43 is disposed at the first position, the upper surface of the lower movement restricting portion 471 and the lower inclined surface 435 are in contact with each other, and the lower support body 47 is disposed at the lower support position. Yes. Accordingly, when the moving body 43 moves forward from the first position, the lower inclined surface 435 presses the lower movement restricting portion 471 forward, and the lower support body 47 is moved downward by the inclination. The support body 47 moves to the lower release position. Further, within the movement range of the moving body 43, while the lower movement restricting portion 471 and the surface on the rear side of the lower inclined surface 435 are in contact with each other, the lower support 47 does not move and the lower release is performed. Kept in position. As a result, as the moving body 43 moves, the shaft support of the lower support body 47 and the release of the shaft support can be performed, and the movement range of the lower support body 47 accompanying the shaft support can be limited to space saving. It is possible.

  In addition, the lower support shaft 470 of the lower support 47 while the moving body 43 moves forward from the first position until the back surface of the lower supported body 48 contacts the front surface of the moving body 43. Are inclined from the lower shaft hole 480 of the lower supported body 48, and the inclination of the lower inclined surface 435 and the lower movement restricting portion 471 and the arrangement location of the moving body 43 are set. Thereby, it is possible to release the shaft support of the lower support mechanism 42 without moving the gaming machine main body 12. Further, the play of the lower shaft hole 480 relative to the lower support shaft 470 can be set narrow from the viewpoint of the stability of the shaft support.

  Here, the lower movement protrusion 475 formed on the lower movement restricting portion 471 is arranged so that the lower support 47 cannot be moved to the lower release position by directly applying an external force to the lower support 47. The lower moving rail 435a formed on the moving body 43 is supported from below. Specifically, the lower movement protrusion 475 is formed to protrude laterally from the upper end of the lower movement restricting portion 471, and the lower movement rail 435a stands downward from the lower surface of the moving body 43 and extends in the front-rear direction. The lower moving rail 435a is bent in the lateral direction and is engaged with the lower moving protrusion 475. Thereby, the vertical movement of the upper support 45 without the movement of the moving body 43 is restricted. Moreover, even when the lower support 47 is disposed at any position, it is impossible to move the lower support 47 without moving the moving body 43. However, the lower moving rail 435a applies the external force directly to the lower support body 47 at least when the lower support body 47 pivotally supports the lower supported body 48 to move the mobile body 43. The lower support 47 may not be moved downward without being accompanied. In other words, when the lower support 47 is disposed at the lower support position, the lower support 47 only needs to be locked to the moving body 43, and the lower support 47 is disposed at the lower release position. In this case, the lower support 47 may not be locked to the moving body 43.

  Further, a lower protective cover 476 is formed on the outer frame 11 so as to cover the lower support 47 from below. The upper end of the lower protective cover 476 is substantially horizontal with the upper surface of the support plate 49. Thereby, at least in a state where the gaming machine main body 12 is pivotally supported with respect to the outer frame 11, it is impossible to operate the lower support 47 from the front of the gaming machine main body 12.

  Here, the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11 extends below the lower protective cover 476. Further, the left end of the lower protective cover 476 is disposed on the right side of the outer edge of the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11. Accordingly, the lower support 47 is disposed inside the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11 regardless of whether the lower support 47 is disposed at the lower support position or the lower release position. As a result, the lower support mechanism 42 is arranged in a range that does not protrude outward from the outer edge of the outer frame 11, and the game is performed with respect to the outer frame 11 as described above in a limited island facility space. The machine main body 12 can be rotatably supported.

  Further, the lower surface of the lower supported body 48 and the upper surface of the support plate 49 are in contact with each other. The bottom surface of the gaming machine main body 12 is in contact with the top surface of the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11. Since the upward movement of the gaming machine main body 12 is restricted as described above, it is impossible to create a gap between the bottom surface of the gaming machine main body 12 and the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11.

  Next, operations of the upper support mechanism 41, the lower support mechanism 42, and the moving body 43 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A is a schematic view showing the moving body 43, the upper support mechanism 41, and the lower support mechanism 42 from the side when the moving body 43 is disposed at the first position, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing the moving body 43, the upper support mechanism 41, and the lower support mechanism 42 from the side when the moving body 43 moves forward from the first position. In FIG. 6, dot hatching is given to the moving body 43 for distinction from other configurations.

  6A, in the state in which the moving body 43 is disposed at the first position, the upper support mechanism 41 has the upper inclined surface 434 of the moving body 43 and the lower surface of the upper movement restricting portion 451 in the upper support 45. And the upper moving projection 455 engages with the upper moving rail 434a, and the upper support 45 is disposed at the upper support position. In the lower support mechanism 42, the lower inclined surface 435 of the moving body 43 and the upper surface of the lower movement restricting portion 471 in the lower support 47 are in contact with each other, and the lower moving protrusion 475 is on the lower side. Engaging with the moving rail 435a, the lower support 47 is arranged at the lower support position.

  When the moving body 43 moves forward, the lower surface of the upper movement restricting portion 451 is pressed by the upper inclined surface 434 of the moving body 43, and the upper support 45 moves upward. Further, the lower surface of the lower movement restricting portion 471 is pressed by the lower inclined surface 435 of the moving body 43, and the lower support body 47 moves downward. With this movement, the upper movement protrusion 455 moves along the upper movement rail 434a, and the lower movement protrusion 475 moves along the lower movement rail 435a. As shown in FIG. 6B, the upper and lower support shafts 450 and 470 correspond to the corresponding shaft holes 460 at the positions where the front surface of the moving body 43 contacts the rear surfaces of the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 of the gaming machine body 12. , 480. At this position, the pressing surface 431 of the moving body 43 comes into contact with a part of the back surface of the gaming machine main body 12 (not shown). As a result, the pivotal support of the upper and lower support mechanisms 41 and 42 is moved while the movable body 43 moves from the first position to a position where the movable body 43 comes into contact with the back of the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 and a part of the back of the gaming machine main body 12. Will be canceled.

  In order to release the pivotal support of the upper and lower support mechanisms 41 and 42 as described above, it is necessary to move the moving body 43 forward, and on the contrary, to pivotally support the upper and lower support mechanisms 41 and 42. It is necessary to move the moving body 43 backward. Further, when the upper support body 45 is disposed at the upper support position, the lower surface of the upper support body 45 and the upper surface of the upper supported body 46 are in contact with each other, so that the gaming machine main body 12 does not move upward. Limited. Further, since the upper support 45 is restricted to move upward by the moving body 43, it is possible to more reliably prevent the gaming machine main body 12 from moving upward for illegal purposes.

  Here, the pachinko machine 10 includes an operation mechanism 44 that operates the movement of the moving body 43 in the front-rear direction, and also includes a lock mechanism 440 to hold the moving body 43 in the first position.

  First, the lock mechanism 440 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7A is a cross-sectional view taken along line H1-H1 in FIG. 3A, and FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view taken along line I1-I1 in FIG. In FIG. 7, dot hatching is given to the moving body 43 for distinction from other configurations.

  The lock mechanism 440 includes a lock plate 441 disposed on the side wall of the outer frame 11 and a lock hole 442 formed in the moving body 43, and the lock plate 441 is fitted into the lock hole 442. The moving body 43 is held at the first position. Specifically, a lock plate storage portion 443 that is recessed in the opposite direction of the moving body 43 so as not to restrict the movement of the moving body 43 is formed in the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11. The lock plate 441 is rotatably supported by a lock plate rotation shaft 444 that is bridged in the front-rear direction at 443. In addition, a plate spring (not shown) is disposed in the lock plate storage portion 443, and the rotation of the lock plate 441 is urged in the laterally rising direction by the urging force of the plate spring. In addition, when the lock plate 441 stands in the lateral direction, the upper surface of the lock plate 441 and the upper wall surface of the lock plate storage portion 443 are in contact with each other, and the rotation of the lock plate 441 stands in the lateral direction. Is retained. The lock hole 442 is formed in the moving body 43 as a through hole that penetrates in the horizontal direction and is long in the vertical direction so that the lock plate 441 can be fitted from the horizontal direction. The lock hole 442 is formed at a position where the lock plate 441 can be fitted when the moving body 43 is arranged at the first position and cannot be fitted when the moving body 43 is arranged at the second position. Has been. Thereby, when the moving body 43 is arranged at the first position, the lock plate 441 is fitted in the lock hole 442 of the moving body 43.

  With the above configuration, the lock plate 441 can be rotated in a range between a lock position standing in the lateral direction and a lock release position rotated downward, and is urged to the lock position by a plate spring. Further, when the moving body 43 is disposed at the first position by the left wall portion of the moving body 43 and the lock hole 442, the lock plate 441 is disposed at the lock position fitted with the lock hole 442. Lock forward movement of the. When the moving body 43 is disposed at the second position, the lock plate 441 is disposed at the unlocking position and is sandwiched between the left wall portion of the moving body 43 and the lock plate storage portion 443.

  Next, the operation mechanism 44 will be described.

  The operation mechanism 44 includes a T-shaped operation lever 445 that is a member operated from the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12 and an operation rod 446 extending rearward from the operation lever 445. The operating mechanism 44 is inserted into a through hole (not shown) formed in the inner frame 13 and penetrating in the front-rear direction, and is supported so as to be movable in the front-rear direction with respect to the inner frame 13. Further, the operation mechanism 44 is supported by the through hole so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis in the front-rear direction. The operation lever 445 and the operation rod 446 can integrally operate as described above. An operation mechanism spring 446b, which is a coil spring, is disposed between the rear of the operation lever 445 and the through hole of the inner frame 13, and the operation bar 446 passes through the center of the operation mechanism spring 446b so that the operation mechanism 44 is attached to the front. It is energized.

  When the operation mechanism 44 is disposed at the rearmost part, the rearmost part of the operation rod 446 is in contact with the pressing surface 431 of the moving body 43. A release protrusion 446a is formed at the rearmost part of the operation rod 446 as a protrusion that can be fitted into the lock hole 442, and stands up when the operation mechanism 44 is disposed at the rearmost part. In addition, an operation handle 445a is formed on the front side of the operation lever 445 as a handle capable of gripping the operation lever 445. When the operation mechanism 44 is disposed at the rearmost portion, the operation lever 445 stands up and down with respect to the operation rod 446. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the operation mechanism 44 is disposed at the rearmost portion, the operation mechanism 44 has an operation handle 445 a embedded in the front surface of the inner frame 13 of the gaming machine body 12, and the operation handle 445 a has a front surface. It is arranged so as to be flush with the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12. The front face of the front door frame 14 is broken so as to surround the operation handle 445a, and the inner frame 13 and the operation handle 445a are exposed forward.

  With the above configuration, when the front door frame 14 is closed with respect to the inner frame 13, the operation mechanism 44 exposes the operation handle 445 a on the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12, and the last part of the operation rod 446 is the moving body 43. They are arranged in contact with the pressing surface 431. Even when the front door frame 14 is rotated with respect to the inner frame 13, the operation mechanism 44 is held by the inner frame 13, and the above state is maintained.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the operation mechanism 44 is restricted from moving forward by a link bar 447 linked from the cylinder lock 36. Specifically, the link bar 447 is a bar-like member extending in the lateral direction, inserted into a through-hole (not shown) formed in the inner frame 13 and penetrating in the lateral direction, and moved in the lateral direction with respect to the inner frame 13. Supported as possible. The operation lever 445 is formed with an operation through hole 445b that is a through hole penetrating in the horizontal direction, and a link rod 447 is inserted into the operation through hole 445b. The side of the link bar 447 opposite to the side inserted into the operation through hole 445 b is linked to the cylinder lock 36. Specifically, the link bar 447 and the cylinder lock 36 are in a rack-and-pinion relationship, and a rack (gear) 36 a formed on the outer periphery of the cylinder lock 36 and a pinion (toothpick) formed on the upper side of the link bar 447. 447a is engaged, and the rotation of the cylinder lock 36 is transmitted to the link bar 447 as a lateral movement. That is, when the key inserted into the key hole of the cylinder lock 36 is turned to the left (counterclockwise), the link bar 447 moves to the right, and conversely, when the key is turned to the right (clockwise), the link bar 447 moves to the left. It becomes.

  With the above configuration, in a state where the key inserted into the key hole of the cylinder lock 36 is not rotated, the link bar 447 is inserted into the operation through hole 445b, and the forward movement of the operation mechanism 44 is prevented. When the key is turned counterclockwise, the link bar 447 moves to the right, comes out of the operation through hole 445b, and the forward movement of the operation mechanism 44 is released. On the other hand, when the key is turned to the right, the link bar 447 moves to the left, but remains inserted through the operation through hole 445b and the forward movement of the operation mechanism 44 is not released.

  Although not shown, in the present embodiment, when the key inserted into the key hole of the cylinder lock 36 is turned counterclockwise, the outer frame 11 of the gaming machine body 12 is unlocked, and conversely, when the key is turned clockwise, the front door frame 14 The lock on the inner frame 13 is released. Therefore, the release operation of the operation mechanism 44 is performed together with the unlocking of the gaming machine main body 12. Further, the release operation of the operation mechanism 44 is not performed by releasing the lock of the front door frame 14.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the lock hole 442 is disposed at a position where the release protrusion 446 a can be fitted when the operation mechanism 44 moves forward. Therefore, in order to fit the release protrusion 446a into the lock hole 442, the operator moves the operation mechanism 44 forward, aligns the operation mechanism 44 at a position where it can be fitted, and turns to move to the lock hole 442. The release protrusion 446a is fitted. In addition, in order to simplify the operation mechanism 44, this alignment is performed by an operator, but may be positioned naturally due to the structure. For example, a contact portion that contacts the operation mechanism 44 is provided on the inner frame 13 or the like so that the operation mechanism 44 can be temporarily held at the position where the operation mechanism 44 can be fitted, so that the contact can be released together with the fitting. Can be considered.

  Next, the interlocking of the operation mechanism 44, the lock mechanism 440, and the moving body 43 will be described with reference to FIG. FIGS. 8A-1 to 8A-3 are schematic views of the operating mechanism 44, the lock mechanism 440, and the moving body 43 as viewed from the side, and FIGS. 8B-1 to 8B-3 are illustrated in FIGS. These are sectional views taken along line I1-I1 in (a-1) to (a-3), respectively. In FIG. 7, dot hatching is given to the moving body 43 for distinction from other configurations.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 8 (a-1) and 8 (b-1), in a state where the gaming machine main body 12 is locked to the outer frame 11, the operation mechanism 44 is arranged at the rearmost part. Yes. In this state, since the operation mechanism 44 is restricted from moving forward by the link rod 447, the operation mechanism 44 cannot be operated. In addition, since the lock plate 441 is fitted to the lock hole 442 of the moving body 43, the moving body 43 is held at the first position. Here, when the key inserted into the cylinder lock 36 is turned counterclockwise as described above, the locking of the gaming machine main body 12 is released and the operation mechanism 44 moves forward, but the moving body 43 is moved to the first position by the lock mechanism 440. Held in position.

  When the operation mechanism 44 moves forward and the operation handle 445a of the operation lever 445 protrudes from the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12, the operation mechanism 44 can be rotated. When the release protrusion 446a of the operation mechanism 44 is aligned with the lock hole 442 of the moving body 43 and the operation handle 445a is rotated to the left (counterclockwise), FIG. 8 (a-2) and FIG. 2), the release protrusion 446a is fitted into the lock hole 442, and the lock plate 441 is rotated from the lock position to the lock release position by the rotation of the release protrusion 446a, so that the lock hole 442, the lock plate 441 Is released. Thereby, the moving body 43 can be operated by the operation mechanism 44, and the locking of the moving body 43 by the lock mechanism 440 is released. When the operation lever 445 is pulled forward in a state where the release protrusion 446a is fitted in the lock hole 442, the moving body 43 is moved together with the operation mechanism 44 as shown in FIGS. 8 (a-3) and 8 (b-3). Move to the second position.

  The operation of removing the gaming machine main body 12 from the outer frame 11 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a schematic view of the removing operation of the gaming machine main body 12 as viewed from the side. In FIG. 9, dot hatching is given to the moving body 43 for distinction from other configurations. In FIG. 9, the outer periphery of the gaming machine main body 12 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  Before the operation of removing the gaming machine main body 12 from the outer frame 11, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), the moving body 43 is disposed at the first position, and the upper and lower support bodies 45, 47 are disposed at the respective support positions. The gaming machine main body 12 is supported with respect to the outer frame 11. The operation mechanism 44 is prevented from moving forward by a link bar 447 at the rearmost part.

  Here, when the key inserted into the cylinder lock 36 is turned counterclockwise and the operation mechanism 44 is rotated to the left at a position where the operation handle 445a of the operation lever 445 protrudes from the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12, FIG. As shown in b), the movable body 43 can be operated by the operation mechanism 44, and the lock of the movable body 43 by the lock mechanism 440 is released. In this state, when the operation mechanism 44 is pulled forward, the moving body 43 moves forward together with the operation mechanism 44.

  When the moving body 43 moves forward, as shown in FIG. 9C, the upper support 45 moves upward, the lower support 47 moves downward, and the shaft support of the upper and lower support mechanisms 41 and 42 is released. Is done. In addition, the moving body 43 moves further forward, the front surface of the moving body 43 comes into contact with the back surfaces of the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 of the gaming machine body 12, and the pressing surface 431 of the moving body 43 is the gaming machine body 12. It touches a part of the back of the.

  Here, when the operator pulls out the operation mechanism 44 further forward with the left hand, the front surface of the moving body 43 faces the back surfaces of the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 of the gaming machine body 12 as shown in FIG. Pressing forward, and the pressing surface 431 of the moving body 43 presses a part of the back surface of the gaming machine main body 12 forward. In accordance with this, the gaming machine body 12 moves forward along the support plate 49 by pulling the turning tip side of the gaming machine body 12 forward with the right hand. At this time, the lower surface of the gaming machine main body 12 slides on the support plate 49 and slides on the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11.

  In a state where the moving body 43 has moved to the second position which is the forward movement limit, the operation mechanism 44 is turned to the right to release the fitting with the moving body 43, and the gaming machine main body 12 is supported by the support plate 49. And it will be in the state which got on the lower frame part of the outer frame 11, and can be removed.

  Next, an operation of attaching the gaming machine main body 12 to the outer frame 11 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a schematic view of the attaching operation of the gaming machine main body 12 as viewed from the side. In FIG. 10, dot hatching is given to the moving body 43 for distinction from other configurations. Further, the outer periphery of the gaming machine main body 12 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  When the gaming machine main body 12 is attached to the outer frame 11, the operation mechanism 44 is moved forward from the last part so that the gaming machine main body 12 can be moved to a position where it can be supported before the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 move. Work in the state moved to. Specifically, in a state where the gaming machine main body 12 is placed on the support plate 49, the cylinder lock 36 is turned counterclockwise so that the operation handle 445a protrudes forward from the gaming machine main body 12, and then the operation mechanism 44 is rotated. Work without. Further, before the mounting operation, the moving body 43 is in the second position, and the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 are disposed in the respective release positions. When the gaming machine main body 12 is placed on the support plate 49 and horizontally moved on the support plate 49 and moved backward, the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 of the gaming machine main body 12 are shown in FIG. The back surface of the mobile body 43 abuts on the front surface of the moving body 43 and presses the mobile body 43 backward, and a part of the back surface of the gaming machine main body 12 contacts the pressing surface 431 of the mobile body 43 to press the mobile body 43 rearward. The moving body 43 moves backward. As the moving body 43 moves rearward, the upper support 45 moves downward and the lower support 47 moves upward. However, as shown in FIG. The upper and lower support mechanisms 41 and 42 do not pivotally support the gaming machine main body 12 in a state where the support mechanisms 41 and 42 have moved to positions where they can be supported. In this state, by pushing the operating mechanism 44 backward, the tip of the operating mechanism 44 comes into contact with the pressing surface 431 of the moving body 43, and the moving body 43 further moves backward. As the moving body 43 moves, the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 also move, and the upper and lower support mechanisms 41 and 42 are pivotally supported, respectively. When the operation mechanism 44 is pushed to a position where the front surface of the operation mechanism 44 is flush with the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12, the movable body 43 moves to the first position, and the movable body 43 is held at the first position by the lock mechanism 440. Is done. In this state, when the key inserted into the cylinder lock 36 is turned clockwise, the link bar 447 is inserted into the operation through hole 445b, and the operation of the operation mechanism 44 becomes impossible, and the installation work is completed.

  After the attaching operation, the moving body 43 is held at the first position by the lock mechanism 440, and therefore the moving body 43 and the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 do not move. That is, the gaming machine main body 12 can be rotated with respect to the outer frame 11 using the upper and lower support mechanisms 41 and 42 in a state where the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 are kept at the respective support positions. Yes. Further, since the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 are respectively engaged with the moving projections 455 and 475 and the moving rails 434a and 435a, the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 cannot be moved to the respective release positions without the movement of the moving body 43. It is impossible. Further, the upper and lower protective covers 456 and 476 also make it impossible to operate the upper and lower supports 45 and 47.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described based on the block diagram of FIG. In FIG. 11, a power supply line is indicated by a double arrow, and a signal line is indicated by a solid arrow.

  A main control board 801 provided in the main control device incorporates a main control circuit 802 and a power failure monitoring circuit 803. An MPU 811 is mounted on the main control circuit 802.

The display control device 825 controls the symbol display device based on a display command input from the sound lamp control board 824.

  According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

  The support mechanism 40 allows the support shafts 450 and 470 of the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 provided on the outer frame 11 to be inserted into the shaft holes 460 and 480 of the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 provided on the gaming machine body 12. The gaming machine main body 12 is rotatably supported by the outer frame 11 by being inserted. The upper and lower supports 45 and 47 are movable between a support position for supporting the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 and a release position for not supporting them. When the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 are disposed at the release position, the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 and the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 are disposed at positions that do not interfere with each other.

  Therefore, at the time of attachment work, the gaming machine main body 12 can be arranged at a position where it can be supported by moving it backward, and the support mechanism 40 can support the shaft. This eliminates the need to move the gaming machine main body 12 in the vertical direction during the attachment work, thereby making it possible to improve the efficiency of the attachment work.

  A support plate 49 for supporting the lower supported body 48 from below is provided, and the gaming machine main body 12 can be placed on the support plate 49 and can be slid on the support plate 49 at the time of attachment. Thereby, when attaching, the above-mentioned shaft support can be performed by moving the gaming machine main body 12 rearward along the support plate 49, and the work efficiency and safety of the work can be improved. It has become.

  In particular, the support plate 49 extends forward and protrudes from the bottom portion when the gaming machine body 12 is attached to the outer frame 11. Further, the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11 is formed so as to be flush with the upper surface of the support plate 49. Therefore, when mounting, the gaming machine main body 12 can be placed on the support plate 49 and the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11 and then moved backward, and the lateral length of the bottom surface of the gaming machine main body 12 can be increased. Since it is supported from the bottom as a whole, it can be pivotally supported while maintaining stability.

  Further, since the support plate 49 is provided separately from the lower support 47, it is not necessary to support the load of the gaming machine main body 12 in the lower support 47, and the stability of the lower support mechanism 42 is improved. Is possible.

  The upper and lower supports 45 and 47 provided on the outer frame 11 can move between a support position for supporting the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 of the gaming machine main body 12 and a release position for not supporting them. As a result, the shaft support is possible as described above, and the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 on the gaming machine main body 12 side need not be displaced. Therefore, when attaching, the operator does not need to operate each part on the outer frame 11 side, so that the work efficiency is improved, and only one of them is displaced, so that the structure of the support mechanism 40 can be simplified. It becomes.

  In particular, the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 do not perform complicated operations such as rotation, and move in the vertical direction to move between the support position and the release position. This makes it possible to simplify the moving mechanism of the upper and lower supports 45 and 47.

  A movable body 43 that can move back and forth is provided, and the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 move as the movable body 43 moves. That is, when the gaming machine main body 12 is moved to a position where it can be supported and the operation mechanism 44 on the gaming machine main body 12 side is pushed rearward, the moving body 43 moves rearward, and the upper and lower support bodies move as the moving body 43 moves. 45 and 47 move to their respective support positions. As a result, the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 can be moved from the release position to the support position in the configuration in which the gaming machine main body 12 is supported by the outer frame 11 by moving it backward as described above.

  The upper and lower supports 45 and 47 fit within the outer peripheral range of the outer frame 11 in any position. As a result, the above-described effects can be achieved in an island facility which is a limited space.

  An operation mechanism 44 that can be operated from the front side of the gaming machine body 12 is provided, and the operation mechanism 44 can be moved back and forth. When the operating mechanism 44 is moved backward, the moving body 43 can be moved backward, and when the operating mechanism 44 is moved forward, the moving body 43 can be moved forward. Therefore, it is possible to release the upper and lower shaft support and the shaft support from the front side of the gaming machine body 12. Thereby, since the upper and lower shaft supports and the shaft support can be released without operating the inside of the gaming machine main body 12, work efficiency is improved.

  When the moving body 43 moves rearward, the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 move together to the support position, and when moved forward, the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 move together to the release position. Thereby, it is possible to improve the work efficiency of the attachment work or the removal work.

  Here, the movable body 43 and the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 are in contact with the upper and lower inclined surfaces 434 and 435 of the movable body 43 and the movement restricting portions 451 and 471 of the upper and lower supports 45 and 47, respectively. Therefore, when the moving body 43 moves rearward, the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 also move to their respective support positions, and when the movable body 43 moves forward, the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 move to their respective release positions. Moving. As a result, in the configuration in which the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 move as the moving body 43 moves as described above, it is possible to simplify the configuration without requiring a complicated operation.

  At the time of attachment, the gaming machine main body 12 is disposed at a position where it can be supported, and then the operating mechanism 44 is pushed forward to perform vertical support. Further, when removing the gaming machine main body 12 from the position where it can be supported, the operating mechanism 44 releases the upper and lower shaft supports and then moves the gaming machine body 12 forward. Thus, the play of the shaft holes 460 and 480 with respect to the support shafts 450 and 470 can be set narrow from the viewpoint of the stability of the shaft support.

  In addition, the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 are respectively engaged with moving protrusions 455 and 475 and moving rails 434a and 435a. Therefore, it is impossible to move the mobile body 43 to the respective release positions without being moved. The upper and lower protective covers 456 and 476 prohibit the operation of the upper and lower supports 45 and 47. These prevent the upper and lower supports 45 and 47 from being moved to the release position for improper purposes.

  After the upper and lower shafts are released, when the operation mechanism 44 is further pulled forward and the moving body 43 is moved, the front surface of the moving body 43 is connected to the back surfaces of the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 of the gaming machine body 12. Abut. Therefore, when the operation mechanism 44 is further pulled forward, the gaming machine main body 12 can be pulled forward. Thereby, by moving the moving body 43 forward, both the movement of the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 to the release position and the pressing of the gaming machine main body 12 in the pull-out operation can be performed. It is possible to simplify the configuration.

  In particular, during the pull-out operation, the front surface of the moving body 43 not only presses the back surfaces of the upper and lower supported bodies 46 and 48 of the gaming machine body 12, but the pressing surface 431 of the moving body 43 is one of the back surfaces of the gaming machine body 12. Press the part. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the stability of the drawing work.

  An operating mechanism 44 that can operate the moving body 43 from the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12 is provided. The operating mechanism 44 is linked to the cylinder lock 36 and cannot be operated unless the cylinder lock 36 is rotated. This prevents the gaming machine body 12 from being removed from the outer frame 11 for illegal purposes. In particular, according to the present embodiment, the locking mechanism of the gaming machine main body 12 or the front door frame 14 and the locking of the operation mechanism 44 are interlocked, so that the keyhole can be opened for illegal purposes without increasing the number of keyholes that can be inserted. The possibility of being manipulated is reduced.

  When the key inserted into the cylinder lock 36 is turned counterclockwise, the lock of the gaming machine main body 12 is released and the operation mechanism 44 can be operated as described above. Thereby, in the state where the gaming machine main body 12 is locked, the operation of the operation mechanism 44 is disabled, and illegal acts can be prevented.

  The moving body 43 is held at the first position located rearward by the lock mechanism 440. Accordingly, the moving body 43 can be prevented from moving forward, and the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 46 can be held at the support positions.

  The lock mechanism 440 can be unlocked by an operation mechanism 44 that can be operated from the front surface of the gaming machine body 12. That is, in the removing operation, the lock plate 441 moves to the lock release position by fitting the release protrusion 446a of the operation mechanism 44 into the lock hole 442 of the lock mechanism 440. In this state, the moving body 43 can be moved forward by pulling the operation mechanism 44 forward. When the moving body 43 moves forward, the upper and lower support bodies 45 and 47 move to the release position as described above, and the shaft support is released. As a result, it becomes possible to release the pivot support of the upper and lower supports 45 and 46 and to pull out the gaming machine main body 12 by a series of operations by operating the same member, thereby improving the efficiency of the removal operation. It is possible.

  When the upper support body 45 is disposed at the upper support position, the lower surface of the upper support body 45 and the upper surface of the upper supported body 46 are in contact with each other. Further, the upper support shaft 450 of the upper support 45 is inserted into the upper shaft hole 460 of the upper supported body 46 from above. Thereby, even if it is going to move the gaming machine main body 12 upward, the peripheral edge of the upper shaft hole 460 is in contact with the base plate of the upper support shaft 450 from below, so that the gaming machine main body 12 can be moved upward. It is impossible. Further, the lower surface of the lower supported body 48 and the upper surface of the support plate 49 are in contact with each other. The bottom surface of the gaming machine main body 12 is in contact with the top surface of the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11. Since the upward movement of the gaming machine main body 12 is restricted as described above, it is impossible to create a gap between the bottom surface of the gaming machine main body 12 and the lower frame portion of the outer frame 11. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized act of inserting an unauthorized jig or the like from a gap generated by moving the gaming machine main body 12 upward.

  Furthermore, since the upper support body 45 does not move from the upper support position without moving the moving body 43, it is possible to further strengthen the preventive measures against the illegal acts.

<Second Embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the structure of the support mechanism is different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the configuration of the support mechanism in the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 12A is a front view showing a main configuration of a support mechanism (hereinafter, support mechanism 50) in the present embodiment, and FIG. 12B is a cross-sectional view taken along line A2-A2 in FIG. is there. In addition, in FIG.12 (b), the outer periphery of the game machine main body 12 is displayed with the dashed-two dotted line.

  The support mechanism 50 in the present embodiment is arranged between the upper support mechanism 51, the lower support mechanism 52, and the upper support mechanism 51 and the lower support mechanism 52, and moves back and forth, as in the first embodiment. A movable body 53 that can be operated and an operation mechanism 54 that can operate the movable body 53 from the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12 are provided, and each configuration is different from that of the first embodiment.

  Similar to the first embodiment, the moving body 53 is movable in a range from a first position disposed rearward by the moving body restricting portion 533 to a second position disposed forward. Further, although it is urged forward by the moving body urging portion 534, unlike the first embodiment, it is not held in the first position because it does not include the lock mechanism 440 that restricts the movement of the moving body 53. . Therefore, since it is urged | biased ahead by the mobile body urging | biasing part 534, it has arrange | positioned in the 2nd position. Similarly to the first embodiment, the operation mechanism 54 is restricted to move back and forth by a link bar 548 linked from the cylinder lock 36. Unlike the first embodiment, the operation mechanism 54 includes an operation lever 445. However, only the operation rod 540 extending in the front-rear direction is used. The link bar 548 is inserted into an operation through hole 541 which is a through hole formed in the operation bar 540 and penetrating in the lateral direction, thereby preventing the operation bar 540 from moving forward. In addition, the operation rod 540 has the rear end thereof in contact with the front surface of the moving body 53 and the front end of the operation rod 540 being flush with the front surface of the gaming machine main body 12 in a state where the movable body 53 is disposed at the second position. Yes.

  Next, differences with respect to the upper support mechanism 51 will be described with reference to FIG. 13 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line D2-D2 in FIG. 12 (a), FIG. 13 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line E2-E2 in FIG. 13 (a), and FIG. It is E3-E3 sectional drawing in 13 (a). In FIG. 13, dot hatching is given to the moving body 53 for distinction from other structures.

  As in the first embodiment, the upper support mechanism 51 in the present embodiment inserts the upper support shaft 550 of the upper support body 55 into the upper shaft hole 560 of the upper supported body 56 so that the gaming machine body 12 Is supported to be rotatable with respect to the outer frame 11. Unlike the first embodiment, the upper support 55 is a member having a plurality of bends. Specifically, the upper support 55 includes a support portion 551 that supports the upper support shaft 550, a pressing portion 552 that rises downward from the rearmost portion of the support portion 551 and contacts the back surface of the upper support 56. A connecting portion 553 erected rearward from the lowermost end of the pressing portion 552 and a lock plate contact portion 554 erected downward from the rearmost portion of the connecting portion 553 are formed.

  In addition, a support rotating shaft 555 formed in the outer frame 11 and cross-linked in the lateral direction is inserted into the bent portion, which is a continuous portion of the support portion 551 and the pressing portion 552, and the support body rotation. The upper support 55 is supported by the moving shaft 555 so as to be pivotable in the vertical direction about a lateral pivot. Further, an upper spring 556 that is a coil spring is disposed between the back surface of the pressing portion 552 and the upper wall portion of the outer frame 11, and the rotation of the upper support 55 is urged forward. Accordingly, the upper support 55 has an upper support position in which the upper support shaft 550 is inserted into the upper shaft hole 560, and an upper side in which the upper support shaft 550 comes out of the upper shaft hole 560 by rotating in the vertical direction from the upper support position. Displacement to the release position is possible. On the other hand, the upper support 55 is held at the upper support position by a lock mechanism 557 provided on the outer frame 11.

  The lock mechanism 557 is configured so that the lock plate 557 a erected laterally from the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11 contacts the front surface of the lock plate contact portion 554 of the upper support 55, thereby rotating the upper support 55. The movement is stopped. Specifically, a lock plate storage portion 557b that is recessed in the opposite direction of the moving body 53 so as not to restrict the movement of the moving body 53 is formed in the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11, and the lock plate storage portion The lock plate 557a rises laterally from the front side of 557b and contacts the lock plate contact portion 554. The lock plate storage portion 557b is provided with a lock plate rotation shaft 557c bridged in the vertical direction, and the lock plate 557a is rotatably supported by the lock plate rotation shaft 557c.

  A lock spring 557d, which is a plate spring, is disposed in the lock plate storage portion 557b, and the rotation of the lock plate 557a is urged forward. Further, in a state where the lock plate 557a stands in the lateral direction, the front surface of the lock plate 557a and the front wall portion of the lock plate storage portion 557b are in contact with each other, and the lock plate 557a rotates toward the rear. It is held in an inclined state so as to be separated from the storage portion 557b. Thereby, the lock plate 557a is in a locked position where the front surface of the lock plate 557a and the front wall portion of the lock plate storage portion 557b are in contact with each other, and the lock plate 557a and the front surface of the lock plate contact portion 554 are in contact with each other. It can be rotated within the range of the lock release position stored in the lock plate storage portion 557b, and is biased to the lock position by a lock spring 557d.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13C, a release member 557e for releasing the lock of the lock mechanism 557 is arranged upright in the vertical direction between the left side frame portion of the outer frame 11 and the moving body 53. Has been. The lower part of the release member 557e is rotatably supported by a release member rotation shaft 557f that rises laterally from the outer frame 11. A release protrusion 557g for rotating the release member 557e protrudes from the upper portion of the moving body 53 toward the outer frame 11. The release member rotation shaft 557f is disposed behind and below the release protrusion 557g, and further disposed forward and below the lock plate 557a. In addition, a lock plate 557a is disposed on a track on which the release member 557e rotates forward. Note that the rotation of the release member 557e is biased forward by a torsion coil spring (not shown), and the front surface of the release member 557e and the back surface of the release projection 557g are in contact.

  With the above configuration, when the moving body 53 moves rearward, the release protrusion 557g presses the release member 557e and rotates backward, and the release member 557e rotates the lock plate 557a from the lock position to the lock release position. It is possible. With the rotation of the lock plate 557a, the lock plate abutting portion 554 of the upper support 55 is also pressed backward, and the upper support 55 rotates and the support portion 551 moves downward. A space is provided in the vertical direction between the support portion 551 and the upper supported body 56 so that the portion 551 and the upper supported body 56 do not contact each other. Further, the size of the opening of the upper shaft hole 560 is determined so that the movement of the upper support shaft 550 can be accommodated within the movement of the upper shaft hole 560.

  Next, differences with respect to the lower support mechanism 52 will be described with reference to FIG. 14A is a cross-sectional view taken along line F2-F2 in FIG. 12A, and FIG. 14B is a cross-sectional view taken along line G2-G2 in FIG. In FIG. 14, dot hatching is given to the moving body 53 for distinction from other configurations.

  In the lower support mechanism 52 in the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the lower support 57 includes a bearing substrate 571 on which the lower bearing 570 is formed, and the bearing substrate 571 in the lateral direction. It is formed by a support substrate 572 disposed at a separated position and a stopper 573 disposed between the bearing substrate 571 and the support substrate 572. The lower bearing 570 has a shape that is recessed rearward, and is disposed so that the lower support shaft 580 of the lower supported body 58 is accommodated in the lower bearing 570. The stopper 573 is arranged so as to press the lower support shaft 580 from the front. Thus, the lower support mechanism 52 supports the gaming machine body 12 with respect to the outer frame 11 by sandwiching the lower support shaft 580 with the lower bearing 570 and the stopper 573. Further, the support plate 59 receives the lower support shaft 580 from below, and the bearing substrate 571 and the support substrate 572 receive the lower supported body 58 from below, thereby supporting the gaming machine body 12 from below.

  A stopper rotating shaft 591 standing upward from the support plate 59 is formed in front and lateral direction (leftward) with respect to the lower support shaft 580, and the stopper 573 causes the stopper 573 to rotate in the vertical direction. It is supported so as to be able to rotate in the lateral direction around the moving shaft. The stopper 573 is bent in the lateral direction with the stopper rotation shaft 591 as a base point. The stopper 573 extends from the stopper rotation shaft 591 in the lateral direction, and a closing portion 573a for pressing the lower support shaft 580 from the front, and the stopper rotation. It is formed by a sliding movement part 573b behind the shaft 591. A stopper spring 573c, which is a spring spring, is disposed between the sliding movement part 573b and the support substrate 572, and the rotation of the stopper 573 is biased in the lateral direction (clockwise as viewed from above).

  On the other hand, the rotation of the stopper 573 is limited by a stopper control rod 531 extending forward from the moving body 53. Specifically, the sliding portion 573b is formed with a sliding slope 573d that is inclined so as to face in the lateral direction (rightward) as it goes rearward. Further, a sliding portion 532 protruding in the lateral direction (leftward) is formed at the front end of the stopper control rod 531. The sliding portion 532 comes into contact with the front side of the sliding slope 573d of the sliding movement portion 573b, and the rotation of the stopper 573 is prevented. When the moving body 53 moves rearward, the stopper control rod 531 also moves rearward, and the sliding portion 532 moves accordingly. The sliding portion 532 moves along the sliding slope 573d while pressing the sliding movement portion 573b in the lateral direction (leftward). As a result, the stopper 573 rotates in the lateral direction (counterclockwise as viewed from above). When the moving body 53 moves to the second position, the closing portion 573a of the stopper 573 moves in the lateral direction (leftward) with respect to the lower support shaft 580.

  With the above configuration, the lower support 57 has a lower support position in which the closing portion 573a of the stopper 573 presses the lower support shaft 580 from the front, and the closing portion 573a in the lateral direction (leftward) from the lower support shaft 580. Displacement to the shifted lower release position is possible. The stopper spring 573c and the stopper control rod 531 hold the lower support position, and the movable body 53 moves rearward to be displaced to the lower release position.

  Next, an operation for removing the gaming machine main body 12 from the outer frame 11 will be described with reference to FIG. FIGS. 15 (a-1) and 15 (a-2) are schematic views of the gaming machine body 12 being removed from the side, and FIGS. 15 (b-1) and 15 (b-2) 15 (a-1) and FIG. 15 (a-2) is a cutaway view in which the front view as viewed from above is partially broken, and FIGS. 15 (c-1) and 15 (c-2) are FIG. It is the G2-G2 cut-off view in (a-1) and FIG. 15 (a-2). In FIG. 16, dot hatching is given to the moving body 53 for distinction from other configurations. Further, the outer periphery of the gaming machine main body 12 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  Unlike the first embodiment, before moving the gaming machine main body 12 from the outer frame 11, the moving body 53 is disposed at the second position. Here, as in the first embodiment, when the cylinder lock 36 is rotated, the link bar 548 comes out of the operation bar 540 and the operation bar 540 can move forward. As shown in FIG. 15A-1, when the operating rod 540 is pressed backward, the rear end of the operating rod 540 presses the front surface of the moving body 53 backward, and the moving body 53 moves to the first position. . When the movable body 53 moves to the first position, the lower support mechanism 52 moves the stopper control rod 531 rearward as the movable body 53 moves as shown in FIG. 15 (c-1), and closes the stopper 573. The part 573a moves in the lateral direction with respect to the lower support shaft 580. As a result, the lower support 57 is displaced to the release position. In the upper support mechanism 51, as shown in FIG. 15 (b-1), the release protrusion 557g of the moving body 53 rotates the release member 557e, and the lock plate 557a moves to the lock release position.
