Description

  The present invention is arranged in a gap between adjacent gaming machine tables and can store a table or the like for placing an article such as a purse, a key, glasses, a cigarette, a lighter and / or a small article including a mobile phone, for example. The present invention relates to a storage device for a gaming machine.

  In game centers, generally, a large number of gaming machines (for example, pachinko machines, slot machines and / or pachislot machines, etc.) are installed in parallel to each other in an installation unit for installing gaming machines, and these adjacent games are installed. Between the machines, panels are installed to cover the gaps between the stands.

  In order to make effective use of the space between adjacent gaming machines, for example, an accommodating part (card holder) that accommodates instructions relating to the gaming contents of the gaming machine may be provided at the top of this panel. Moreover, in order to utilize this space more effectively, the present applicant has proposed a foldable cup holder installed in this panel (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, a table structure has been proposed which is installed on a shelf provided on the lower front portion of the gaming machine and on which the personal items of the player are placed (for example, Patent Document 2).

  The table structure described in Patent Document 2 is attached to a shelf provided at a lower front portion of a gaming machine, and is fixed to a player side end of the shelf, and slides on the frame. The table portion is mounted so as to be able to be pulled out and stored, and is formed so that the arrangement posture can be changed between a storage position below the shelf when not in use and a drawer position in front of the shelf when in use.

  Even if the card holder and cup holder described above are installed in this type of panel installed between adjacent gaming machines, there is more space available, but at present, this space is effectively used. Not.

  Also, customers who come to the amusement hall often bring small items such as wallets, keys, glasses, cigarettes, lighters and / or mobile phones, and keep these items at hand during the game. The place was anxious. In particular, a place where a mobile phone can be charged during a game has been desired.

  Furthermore, since the table structure described in Patent Document 2 is attached to a shelf (board) provided on the lower front portion of the gaming machine, there is a problem in that the player gets in the way when sitting and leaving. .

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and it is possible to effectively use a space between adjacent gaming machines, and a mobile phone that does not get in the way when a player sits and leaves. It is an object of the present invention to provide a multifunctional storage device for a gaming machine that can store a table on which articles such as small items are placed.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional storage device for a gaming machine that can place a mobile phone on a table and charge the mobile phone during a game.

  According to the present invention, a storage device for gaming machines arranged in a gap between adjacent gaming machines can be freely inserted into and removed from a main body member having an opening at the front and a box-shaped storage at the rear. A table provided, and a charging USB port provided in the vicinity of the opening; the table is provided in the storage unit; a fixed rail member extending in the front and back direction of the storage unit and in the horizontal plane; and the opening Movable in the extending direction of the fixed rail member through the part, movable in the extending direction of the fixed rail member through the first slide member slidably mounted on the fixed rail member, and the opening, A second slide member that is slidably attached to the first slide member, and a second slide member that is attached to the second slide member via a rotation shaft that has one side edge extending along the moving direction of the second slide member. Being a game And a table body for placing the player's personal belongings performed, the table body is configured to be rotatable between a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane and the horizontal plane about the rotary shaft.

  According to such a storage device for gaming machines, a space provided between adjacent gaming machines is provided by including a table that can be freely inserted into and removed from the opening and a charging USB port provided in the vicinity of the opening. Personal items such as mobile phones that can be used effectively and are not disturbed when the player sits or leaves the table can be placed on the table, and the mobile phone can be placed on the table and charged while playing. Since the mobile phone can be charged from the USB port, incoming calls can be easily confirmed during the game. Furthermore, the table can ensure a sufficient drawer length by the two-stage drawer structure.

  It is preferable to further include a support mechanism for supporting the table body from below at a position near the other side edge of the table body. By providing such a support mechanism, the stability and load resistance of the table can be improved.

  The support mechanism has a support member main body provided at a player side end of the base plate of the gaming machine so that one end can be rotated between a horizontal plane direction and a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane direction via a rotation shaft; It is also preferable to have a height adjusting member that is screwed to the other end of the supporting member main body and adjusts the supporting height. By providing such a support mechanism, the stability and load resistance of the table can be improved and the support height can be adjusted.
