Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine fixture for fixing a slot machine to a gaming machine island.

  In the hall, slot machines are arranged side by side on a structure called gaming machine island. This gaming machine island is generally provided with a saddle plate on which the slot machine is placed, and an upper frame facing the upper surface of the slot machine.

  When fixing a slot machine to a gaming machine island, a method of placing the slot machine on a board and driving it from the inside of the slot machine housing to fix the machine to the board or the upper frame is common.

  However, in the case of the screw driving method, there is a problem in that carpentry work occurs every time the slot machine is replaced, and labor costs for construction increase.

  Also, by driving a screw, you will make a hole in the slot machine's housing, board, and upper frame, so if you make a hole in the same place many times, the gaming machine island and the slot machine will hurt, There is a problem that the screw becomes too large to be screwed.

  In this respect, Patent Document 1 includes a base mounting frame body that fixes the pachinko base inside, and the base mounting frame body is mounted so as to swing back and forth in an opening window portion for mounting the pachinko base of Pachinko Island. There is disclosed a pachinko machine mounting device for fixing a pachinko machine to an inner part of a table mounting frame attached to an opening window. The configuration described in Patent Document 1 includes an upper and lower edge of the pachinko machine that is clamped and fixed from the front and back, and a crimping protrusion that moves up and down by the operation of the clamp lever. To fix. According to such a method, since the operation | work which drives in a screw | thread does not generate | occur | produce, the above problems do not generate | occur | produce.

Japanese Patent No. 3275162

  However, since the configuration described in Patent Document 1 described above is for fixing the pachinko machine to the inner side of the table mounting frame, naturally, a device larger than the pachinko machine is required. For this reason, there was a problem that it could not be used on an existing gaming machine island, and the structure was large and complicated, resulting in increased manufacturing costs. In particular, in a slot machine, there is no need to adjust the inclination angle of the board surface unlike a pachinko machine, so a large structure as described in Patent Document 1 is unnecessary.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine fixture that can fix a slot machine to a gaming machine island without driving a screw, and has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and is characterized by the following.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a slot machine fixture which is attached to an upper frame constituting a gaming machine island and presses and fixes an upper surface of the slot machine, and includes a fixing portion attached to the upper frame, and the fixing A pressing part that moves up and down relative to the part and presses the upper surface of the slot machine, and an operation part for operating the pressing part to move up and down, and when the fixed part is attached to the upper frame, The front surface of the pressing portion faces the back surface of the upper frame, and the pressing portion is provided with a protrusion that protrudes toward the back surface of the upper frame.

  The invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that, in addition to the feature of the invention described in claim 1, a back surface holding portion that engages with the back surface of the slot machine is provided.

  The invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that, in addition to the feature of the invention described in claim 2, the back surface holding portion can be expanded and contracted in accordance with the longitudinal width of the slot machine.

A saddle plate attaching member fixed to the saddle plate on which the machine is placed, and a back support member that contacts the back of the slot machine, and the saddle plate attaching member is formed with a comb-blade-shaped guide groove. The back support member is attached to the saddle plate attachment member via a pin slidably engaged with the guide groove.

  The invention according to claim 1 is as described above, a fixing portion attached to the upper frame constituting the gaming machine island, a pressing portion that moves up and down relative to the fixing portion and presses the upper surface of the slot machine, It has a basic structure including an operation unit for moving the pressing unit up and down. For this reason, it can be attached to an existing gaming machine island rather than a large device covering the periphery of the slot machine. In addition, since the structure is small and simple, the manufacturing cost can be kept low.

  In addition, since the slot machine is fixed by pressing the upper surface of the slot machine with the pressing portion, there is no need to drive a screw into the slot machine during the replacement work. Therefore, since no carpentry work is generated, labor costs for construction can be reduced.

  In addition, there is no need to make a new hole in the slot machine casing, board, or upper frame during the replacement work, so the island of the game machine or the slot machine is damaged, or the hole becomes too large to be screwed in. No problems occur.

  Further, when the fixing portion is attached to the upper frame, the front surface of the pressing portion faces the back surface of the upper frame, and the pressing portion protrudes toward the back surface of the upper frame. Protrusions are provided. According to such a configuration, the slot machine can be stably fixed even with a simple structure in which the upper surface of the slot machine is pressed by the pressing portion.

  That is, in a structure in which the pressing portion moves up and down with respect to the fixed portion, the pressing portion may rotate with the connection portion between the pressing portion and the fixed portion as a fulcrum. When the pressing portion rotates with respect to the fixed portion, the pressing portion itself moves regardless of how firmly the pressing portion presses the slot machine, resulting in rattling of the slot machine. If the slot machine is rattled, not only does the posture of the slot machine become unstable, but in the worst case, the slot machine may come off the gaming machine island due to a rattling reaction.

  In this respect, in this configuration, since the protrusion protruding toward the back surface of the upper frame is provided, even if the pressing portion tries to rotate relative to the fixed portion, the protrusion hits the upper frame and plays a role of detent. Fulfill. For this reason, since a press part does not move, the rattling of a slot machine is suppressed. Further, by suppressing rattling, it is possible to prevent the slot machine from coming off the gaming machine island due to rattling reaction.

According to such a configuration, even when a force that pushes the slot machine backward is applied, such as when the player presses the rotation stop button of the slot machine, the back holding unit suppresses the movement of the slot machine. be able to.

  The invention according to claim 3 is as described above, and the back surface holding portion can be expanded and contracted in accordance with the longitudinal width of the slot machine. According to such a configuration, since the back surface holding portion can be adjusted according to the size of the housing of the slot machine, various types of slot machines can be handled.

  The invention according to claim 4 is as described above, and includes a back surface support structure for supporting a lower back portion of the slot machine. Therefore, even when a force that pushes the slot machine backward is applied, the movement of the slot machine is performed. Can be suppressed. The back support structure includes a plate mounting member fixed to the plate and a back support member that contacts the back of the slot machine, and the back support member is slidable in a comb-shaped guide groove. It is attached to the saddle plate attachment member via an engaging pin. According to such a configuration, it is possible to change the position of the back surface supporting member that abuts the back surface of the slot machine only by changing the position of the pin engaged with the comb-shaped guide groove. Therefore, when changing the position of the back support member in accordance with the depth of the slot machine during the replacement work, no carpentry work occurs, so that workability is good and the member is not damaged.

  The pressing portion 20 is a member that moves up and down with respect to the fixed portion 11 described above, and has a two-stage structure of an upper bar 21 and a lower bar 22 as shown in FIG. 3 in the present embodiment. The upper bar 21 and the lower bar 22 are formed in a long shape in accordance with the lateral width of the slot machine 50. The upper bar 21 is a prismatic member to which a lower end of a clamp shaft 32 of the operation unit 30 described later is connected and fixed. The lower bar 22 is a prismatic member provided below the upper bar 21 in parallel with the upper bar 21. An anti-slip rubber material 22a is affixed to the lower surface of the lower bar 22, and the rubber material 22a can be pressed against the upper surface of the slot machine 50 to press the slot machine 50 from above.

  The upper bar 21 and the lower bar 22 can be adjusted in relative vertical position by an adjusting screw 23. Specifically, the adjustment screw 23 is attached so as to pass through the female thread portion provided in the upper bar 21, and the front end portion engages with a concave portion (sink hole) provided in the lower bar 22. Yes. For this reason, the interval between the upper bar 21 and the lower bar 22 is narrowed by tightening the adjusting screw 23. Moreover, the space | interval of the upper stage bar 21 and the lower stage bar 22 becomes large by loosening the adjustment screw 23. FIG. The adjustment screw 23 is attached to both ends in the longitudinal direction of the pressing portion 20 by being supported by L-shaped screw support portions 22 b connected to both ends of the lower bar 22.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 etc., the protrusion 21a which protruded ahead is provided in the both ends of the upper stage bar 21. As shown in FIG.

  The operation unit 30 has a one-touch clamp structure in which clamping and unclamping can be performed only by operating the cam lever 31, and includes a swingable cam lever 31 and a clamp shaft 32 that is connected to the cam lever 31 and can move up and down. When the cam lever 31 is swung, the clamp lever 32 moves up and down as a lever. When the clamp shaft 32 moves up and down, the pressing portion 20 fixed to the lower end of the clamp shaft 32 moves up and down. Specifically, when the cam lever 31 is pulled up, the pressing portion 20 is pulled up with respect to the fixed portion 11 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the cam lever 31 is pushed down, the pressing portion 20 is pushed down with respect to the fixed portion 11 as shown in FIG. By pushing down the pressing portion 20 in this way, the upper surface of the slot machine 50 can be pressed and fixed.

  The back surface holding part 35 is an L-shaped member as viewed from the side as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the back surface holding | maintenance part 35 is attached to two places on either side. The back surface holding portion 35 includes a slide portion 36 extending in the horizontal direction and an engagement portion 37 extending vertically downward from the rear end portion of the slide portion 36. As shown in FIG. 7, the slide portion 36 is inserted into the guide hole 27 a of the guide member 25, and the lower surface is supported by the support portion 28. Thereby, the back surface holding part 35 can slide back and forth with respect to the guide member 25. The slide portion 36 is provided with a long hole 36a. The long hole 36 a extends in the sliding direction and is used for fixing the back surface holding portion 35 to the guide member 25.

  The procedure for fixing the slot machine 50 to the gaming machine island 40 using the slot machine fixture 10 described above is as follows.

  First, the slot machine fixture 10 is attached to the upper frame 41. That is, the side plate portion 13 and the lower plate portion 14 of the fixing portion 11 are pressed from the rear of the upper frame 41, and screws are driven into the upper frame 41 from the screw holes 13a and 14a. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the front surface of the pressing portion 20 faces the back surface of the upper frame 41. For this reason, the protrusion 21 a of the pressing portion 20 protrudes toward the back surface of the upper frame 41.

  When the slot machine fixture 10 is attached to the upper frame 41, the slot machine 50 is placed on the gutter 42. At this time, the cam lever 31 is pulled up as shown in FIG.

  When the slot machine 50 is placed, the cam lever 31 is pushed down. When the cam lever 31 is pushed down, the pressing portion 20 moves downward, and the upper surface of the slot machine 50 is pressed by the pressing portion 20. If the height of the pressing portion 20 needs to be adjusted, such as when the top surface of the slot machine 50 is uneven, the vertical position of the lower bar 22 is adjusted by tightening the adjustment screw 23 or the like.

  Finally, the back surface holding part 35 is expanded and contracted according to the front-rear width of the slot machine 50 and fixed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the back surface holding portion 35 is slid so that the engaging portion 37 is in close contact with the back surface of the slot machine 50. Then, screws are attached so as to pass through the long holes 36 a of the back surface holding portion 35 and the fixing holes 28 a of the guide member 25, so that the back surface holding portion 35 is fixed to the guide member 25.

  When the slot machine 50 is replaced, it is not necessary to remove the slot machine fixture 10 from the upper frame 41, and only the slot machine 50 may be replaced. Since the fixing of the slot machine 50 is released simply by releasing the fixing of the back surface holding portion 35 and pulling up the cam lever 31, the slot machine 50 can be easily replaced.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the back support member 45 is a metal fitting attached to the plate 42, and is attached to the upper surface of the plate 42 with screws 45b, and is vertically formed from the attachment plate 45a. And a back wall portion 45d formed at a right angle to the side wall portion 45c. The side wall 45c is attached so as to be in close contact with the side surface of the slot machine 50. The back wall portion 45d is attached so as to be in close contact with the back surface of the slot machine 50. By attaching the back support member 45 to the two rear portions of the slot machine 50, the slot machine 50 can be more reliably fixed so as not to move backward.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the fixing portion 11 attached to the upper frame 41 constituting the gaming machine island 40 and the vertical movement with respect to the fixing portion 11 to press the upper surface of the slot machine 50. It has a basic structure including a pressing unit 20 and an operation unit 30 for operating the pressing unit 20 up and down. For this reason, it can be attached to the existing gaming machine island 40 instead of a large-sized device that covers the periphery of the slot machine 50. In addition, since the structure is small and simple, the manufacturing cost can be kept low.

  In addition, since the slot machine 50 is fixed by pressing the upper surface of the slot machine 50 with the pressing portion 20, an operation of driving a screw into the slot machine 50 does not occur during the replacement operation. Therefore, since no carpentry work is generated, labor costs for construction can be reduced.

  In addition, since it is not necessary to make a new hole in the casing of the slot machine 50, the cover plate 42, or the upper frame 41 during the replacement work, the gaming machine island 40 or the slot machine 50 is damaged or the hole becomes large and screwed. There is no problem that the screw cannot be screwed.

  Further, when the fixing portion 11 is attached to the upper frame 41, the front surface of the pressing portion 20 faces the back surface of the upper frame 41, and the pressing portion 20 protrudes toward the back surface of the upper frame 41. A protrusion 21a is provided. According to such a configuration, the slot machine 50 can be stably fixed even with a simple structure in which the upper surface of the slot machine 50 is pressed by the pressing portion 20.

  That is, in the structure in which the pressing portion 20 moves up and down with respect to the fixed portion 11, the pressing portion 20 may rotate with the connection portion (clamp shaft 32) between the pressing portion 20 and the fixed portion 11 as a fulcrum. When the pressing unit 20 rotates with respect to the fixed unit 11, the pressing unit 20 moves regardless of how firmly the pressing unit 20 presses the slot machine 50, and thus the rattling of the slot machine 50 occurs. . If the slot machine 50 is rattled, not only does the posture of the slot machine 50 become unstable, but in the worst case, the slot machine 50 may come off the gaming machine island 40 due to the reaction of rattling.

  In this regard, in this configuration, since the protrusion 21 a that protrudes toward the back surface of the upper frame 41 is provided, even if the pressing portion 20 tries to rotate with respect to the fixed portion 11, the protrusion 21 a is not in the upper frame 41. It plays the role of detent in hitting. For this reason, since the pressing part 20 does not move, the rattling of the slot machine 50 is suppressed. Further, by suppressing rattling, it is possible to prevent the slot machine 50 from being detached from the gaming machine island 40 due to the rattling reaction.

  Further, a back surface holding portion 35 that engages with the back surface of the slot machine 50 is provided. According to such a configuration, even when a force that pushes the slot machine 50 backward is applied, such as when the player presses the rotation stop button of the slot machine 50, the rear holding unit 35 causes the slot machine 50 to Movement can be suppressed.

  Further, the back surface holding portion 35 can be expanded and contracted according to the front-rear width of the slot machine 50. According to such a configuration, the back surface holding unit 35 can be adjusted in accordance with the size of the housing of the slot machine 50, so that it is possible to deal with various types of slot machines 50.

  In the above-described embodiment, the one-touch clamp structure is used as the operation unit 30. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pressing unit 20 may be moved up and down by, for example, a screw structure.

  Although not specifically described in the above-described embodiment, a stopper 38 that locks the cam lever 31 so as not to move unintentionally may be provided. As long as the stopper 38 can lock the cam lever 31, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, a swinging stopper 38 that can be engaged with and disengaged from the cam lever 31 may be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, the protrusions 21a are provided at both ends of the upper bar 21, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. The position where the protrusion 21a is provided and the position where the protrusion 21a is provided can be arbitrarily set. However, in order to exert the effect of the present invention, it is desirable to provide the protrusions 21a at at least two places on both sides of the connecting portion (for example, the clamp shaft 32) between the fixing portion 11 and the pressing portion 20.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the back support member 45 is used as the back support structure for supporting the lower back portion of the slot machine 50 has been described. However, a back support structure different from this may be used.

  For example, a back support structure as shown in FIGS. This back support structure includes a gutter plate mounting member 52, a back support member 53, a pin 54, and a receiving plate 55.

  The saddle plate attachment member 52 is a metal fitting fixed to the saddle plate 42. As shown in FIG. 11, the saddle plate attachment member 52 is continuous with the attachment portion 52a protruding in the horizontal direction, the abutting portion 52c provided perpendicularly to the attachment portion 52a, and the attachment portion 52a. And a sliding support portion 52d formed flat.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, the attachment portion 52 a is a portion that is fixed in contact with the upper surface of the flange plate 42. The attachment portion 52a is formed with a screw hole 52b for allowing a fastener such as a screw to pass therethrough. By driving a stopper penetrating through the screw hole 52 b into the upper surface of the flange plate 42, the flange plate mounting member 52 is fixed to the flange plate 42.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, the contact portion 52c is a portion that contacts the rear end surface of the saddle plate. By applying the corner portion formed by the contact portion 52c and the attachment portion 52a to the corner of the rear end of the flange plate 42, the flange plate attachment member 52 can be stably attached to the flange plate 42.

  The sliding support part 52d is a part for supporting a back support member 53 described later in a slidable manner. By disposing the back surface support member 53 on the upper surface of the slide support portion 52d, the back surface support member 53 can slide on the slide support portion 52d. Since this sliding support portion 52d protrudes rearward continuously from the flange plate 42 so as to extend the flange plate 42, the slot machine 50 can also slide on this sliding support portion 52d. It has become.

  A guide groove 52e as shown in FIG. 11A is formed through the upper surface of the sliding support portion 52d. The guide groove 52e guides the sliding of the back support member 53 and allows the back support member 53 to be positioned by penetrating a shaft portion 54a of the pin 54 described later. The guide groove 52e has the same shape and is formed at two locations on the left and right. The guide groove 52e is formed with a width larger than the diameter of a shaft portion 54a of the pin 54, which will be described later, and a sliding groove portion 52f formed in a long hole shape in the front-rear direction, and obliquely rearward from the sliding groove portion 52f. A plurality of oblique groove portions 52g extending. The plurality of oblique groove portions 52g are formed in parallel with each other, whereby the guide groove 52e has a comb blade shape as a whole.

  The back support member 53 is a metal fitting that comes into contact with the back surface of the slot machine 50, and is formed with substantially the same lateral width as the slot machine 50. The back support member 53 includes a back wall portion 53b that contacts the back surface of the slot machine 50, a side wall portion 53a that is formed on both sides of the back wall portion 53b and faces the side surface of the slot machine 50, and a lower end of the back wall portion 53b. And a sliding plate portion 53c extending rearward. The sliding plate portion 53 c is formed at a right angle to the back wall portion 53 b and is disposed so as to contact the upper surface of the sliding support portion 52 d of the saddle plate mounting member 52. The sliding plate portion 53c has through holes 53d at two locations on the left and right. The spacing between the left and right through holes 53d is equal to the spacing between the left and right guide grooves 52e.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the pin 54 is attached so as to pass through the through hole 53 d of the back support member 53 and the guide groove 52 e of the saddle plate attachment member 52, and is screwed to the receiving plate 55 at the tip passing through these. ing. By attaching the pin 54 in this manner, the sliding support portion 52d is sandwiched between the sliding plate portion 53c and the receiving plate 55. At this time, the interval between the sliding plate portion 53c and the receiving plate 55 is formed larger than the thickness of the sliding support portion 52d. By attaching the pins 54 in this way, the back surface support member 53 is slidably attached to the saddle plate attachment member 52. When the back support member 53 slides on the upper surface of the plate mounting member 52, the shaft portion 54a of the pin 54 can slide within a range in which the shaft portion 54a can move along the guide groove 52e.

  A guide groove 57e as shown in FIG. 15A is formed through the side surface of the sliding support portion 57d. The guide groove 57e penetrates a shaft portion 59a of a pin 59 described later, thereby guiding the sliding of the back support member 58 and positioning the back support member 58. The guide groove 57e is formed in the same shape in each of the facing plate mounting members 57 facing each other. The guide groove 57e is formed with a width larger than the diameter of a shaft portion 59a of the pin 59, which will be described later, and a sliding groove portion 57f formed in a long hole shape in the front-rear direction, and obliquely downward from the sliding groove portion 57f. A plurality of oblique groove portions 57g extending. The plurality of oblique groove portions 57g are formed in parallel to each other, whereby the guide groove 57e has a comb blade shape as a whole.

  The back support member 58 is an L-shaped metal fitting in a plan view that comes into contact with the back surface of the slot machine 50. The back surface support member 58 includes a back wall portion 58b that comes into contact with the back surface of the slot machine 50, and a side wall portion 58a that is formed at a right angle to the back wall portion 58b. The side wall portion 58 a is disposed so as to abut on the side surface of the sliding support portion 57 d of the saddle plate attachment member 57. As shown in FIG. 14B, through holes 58d are formed in the front and rear portions of the side wall portion 58a.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (b), the pin 59 is attached so as to penetrate the through hole 58d of the back support member 58 and the guide groove 57e of the flange plate attaching member 57, and is attached to the receiving plate 60 at the tip that penetrates these pins. Screwed. By attaching the pin 59 in this manner, the sliding support portion 57d is sandwiched between the side wall portion 58a and the receiving plate 60. At this time, the interval between the side wall portion 58a and the receiving plate 60 is formed larger than the thickness of the sliding support portion 57d. By forming in this way, the back surface support member 58 is slidably attached to the saddle plate attachment member 57. When the back support member 58 slides on the side surface of the saddle plate mounting member 57, the shaft portion 59a of the pin 59 can slide within a range in which the shaft portion 59a can move along the guide groove 57e.

  When the slot machine 50 is supported by the back support member 58, as shown in FIG. 15, the shaft portion 59a of the pin 59 is engaged with any of the plurality of oblique groove portions 57g. By engaging the shaft portion 59a of the pin 59 with the oblique groove portion 57g, the back surface support member 58 is restricted so that it cannot move further rearward. Therefore, the slot machine 50 is restricted from moving backward.

  Further, the position of the back support member 58 can be determined depending on which of the plurality of oblique groove portions 57g is engaged with the shaft portion 59a of the pin 59. For example, as shown in FIG. 15A, if the shaft portion 59a of the pin 59 is engaged with the oblique groove portion 57g in the front row, the position of the back support member 58 can be brought to the forefront. Further, as shown in FIG. 15B, if the shaft portion 59a of the pin 59 is engaged with the oblique groove portion 57g in the last row, the position of the back support member 58 can be set to the rearmost position. In order to change the position of the back support member 58, the back support member 58 may be slid to change the oblique groove portion 57g with which the shaft portion 59a of the pin 59 engages. Since the back surface support member 58 can be moved in this way, the position of the back surface support member 58 can be changed in accordance with the depth of the slot machine 50 and the like without moving the plate mounting member 57. For this reason, for example, even when a slot machine 50 having a different size is exchanged, the position of the back support member 58 can be changed without newly making a hole in the plate 42, and the size of the slot machine 50 can be changed. The slot machine 50 can be supported from the back by the back support member 58 at a position matched to the above.
