23 (a) to 23 (d) are schematic views showing a procedure of assembling the cutting member, the opening prohibition seal, and the cap with respect to the sealing base portion, centering on the protruding piece of the upper case piece, and FIG. FIG. 24 is an end view of the projecting piece, FIG. 24 is an exploded perspective view showing a state immediately before the cutting member, the opening prohibition seal, and the cap are assembled to the sealing base portion 310, and FIG. 25 is the opening prohibition on the sealing base portion. FIG. 27 is a perspective view showing a state in which a seal is adhered, FIG. 26 is a perspective view showing a state in which a cap is attached to an opening prohibition seal, and FIG. 27 shows a state in which the cap is removed and the opening prohibition seal is broken. FIG. 28A is a perspective view, and FIGS. 28A and 28B are a front view and a partially enlarged view of an example of the unsealing prohibition seal.
The cutting member 230 shown in FIGS. 23 to 27 has a partially different configuration from that shown in FIG. 10, but is the same in that the opening prohibition seal is broken when the cap is removed, The same applies.

<No opening seal>
As a means for sealing the main board case 200 having the above structure, the unsealing prohibition seal 250 shown in FIG. 28A is used. The opening prohibition seal 250 is made of a paper material that can be relatively easily cut and broken, has security (forgery prevention) printing or the like on its front surface, and has an adhesive layer formed on its back surface. There is.
The strip-shaped portions 251 respectively arranged along the upper and lower sides of the surface are identification areas (fine pattern areas) 251 for authenticity identification (prevention of forgery), which are composed of fine components including random micro characters. Is. As a security means other than the identification area 251, a hologram 252, a QR code (registered trademark) 253, and the like are provided.
Random micro-character is a technology to insert very small characters into a line part or part of a design. Since micro characters cannot be copied by a copying machine with a low resolution, they are one of the means for confirming the authenticity of the copy.

FIG. 28B is a diagram in which a part of the identification area (fine pattern area) provided on the unsealing prohibition seal 250 is magnified 10 times, and “opening prohibited” is shown in a pattern including fine circles or dots. Hidden characters such as "security" are described.
By adhering the unsealing prohibition seal 250 to the two case pieces constituting the main board case, the identification area 251 is surely broken in the case of unauthorized opening. Even if the illicit person replaces the ROM, the case body and the cover body are closed again, and even if the broken portions of the opening prohibition seal 250 are connected to each other to restore the original appearance, the identification area (other parts) is By using a magnifying glass, it is possible to reliably confirm the presence of the fractured portion and the repaired portion.

Since fine characters such as random micro characters cannot be discriminated (read, recognized, discerned) with the naked eye, the discrimination can be made only by magnifying the magnifying glass 5 to 10 times with a magnifying glass such as a magnifying glass. For example, it is difficult to discriminate and read with the naked eye when individual characters and the like have a minute size of 1/10 to 1/5 mm, but normal visual acuity can be obtained by enlarging 10 times or 5 times. It is possible to increase the size to a size of about 1 mm that can be discriminated and read by a person who performed the test.
It should be noted that the identification area 251 of the opening prohibition seal 250 of the present invention is not limited to the random micro-characters, and it is difficult to discriminate (reading, recognizing, discriminating) with the naked eye of an observer who has normal eyesight in at least a part thereof. It may be any character including minute characters (fine characters), figures, symbols, and / or patterns. By enlarging the minute characters and the like, it becomes possible for the observer to distinguish, read, and authenticate.
It should be noted that "difficult to discriminate with the naked eye" includes a wide range of cases in which it is not possible to discriminate with the naked eye but difficult to discriminate, and cases where it is impossible to discriminate with the naked eye.
It goes without saying that the manner of disposing the identification area 251 on the opening prohibition sticker, its shape, and the like can be variously changed.

The cap 240 is sandwiched between the cap main body 241 that surrounds the outer surfaces of both projecting pieces (sealing base part 310) including the unsealing prevention seal 250, and the sealing parts 212 and 222 when mounted on the sealing base part 310. The locking member 242 (FIG. 9) that elastically engages the cutting member 230 (locked part 236) in the closed state is provided, and the cutting member is integrally detached when the cap is detached from the sealing base portion. By doing so, the opening prohibition seal is broken and removed.
A tubular caulking member 203A (third screw stop piece 93) is provided on one side surface of the cap 240 so as to cover both the sealing portions 212 and 222 and the opening prohibition seal as shown in FIGS. 6 and 12. When the cap is attached, the center hole of the caulking member 203A is in communication with the holes of the caulking member 203B ((first screw stop piece 91, second screw piece 92) provided at corresponding positions of the upper and lower case pieces. In this state, the caulking pin 94 (FIG. 9) is inserted and caulked to fix the cap to the upper and lower case pieces.
In the illustrated embodiment, the cap 240 encloses the entire sealing portions 212 and 222 including the opening prohibition seal, but the cap is sealed so as to enclose at least a part of the opening prohibition seal. Any structure may be used as long as it is attached to at least a part of the base portion (opening prohibition seal adhesive portion = cap attachment portion) 310.

The cutting member 230 intersects with the blade portion (first broken piece) 231 provided on the tip edge of the direction (b) (FIG. 10) for separating the cap 240 from the sealing base portion 310, and the direction (b) for separating. A broken piece (second broken piece) 233 protruding in the (orthogonal) direction. One broken piece 233 is provided on the surface of the lower case piece on the sealing portion 212 side, and two broken pieces 233 are provided on the surface of the upper case piece on the protruding piece 222 side.
One second opening O2 (guide slit 224) for receiving one broken piece 233 is formed in the sealing portion 212 of the lower case piece, and two broken pieces 233 are formed in the protruding piece 222 on the upper case side. Two second openings O2 (guide slits 224) for respectively receiving the light are formed.
By using the cutting member 230 as a member separate from each case piece, the shape of the cutting means such as the blade portion 231 can be uniquely and arbitrarily shaped and processed, and the opening prohibition seal is significantly broken. It will be possible.

<Assembly procedure for each member and rupture procedure for opening prohibited seal>
Next, with reference to FIG. 25, a procedure of assembling the cutting member 230, the unsealing prohibition seal 250, and the cap 240 to the sealing base portion 310 will be described centering on the protruding piece 222 of the upper case piece.
In the present embodiment, the cutting member 230 is configured to be temporarily locked to the inner surface of the protruding piece 222 of the upper case piece. A pair of locking portions (temporary locking portions) 223 are provided on the inner surface (cutting member support portion) of the projecting piece 222, and these locking portions 223 are mounted in the arrow direction of FIG. The cutting member 230 is configured to engage with and press the inner edges of two recesses (temporary locking portions) 232 provided at the rear edge of the cutting member 230. Further, a fragment 233 is projected on the surface side of the cutting member, and a guide slit 224 which allows passage of the fragment 233 when the cutting member is attached to the inner side surface of the projecting piece 222 from the direction of the arrow protrudes. The piece 222 is formed. Therefore, when the cutting member 230 is moved in the arrow direction and seated on the inner surface of the protruding piece 222 as shown in FIG. 25A, the surface of the cutting member is slid along the inner surface of the protruding piece 222. It can be installed while being installed. At this time, since the broken pieces 233 move while fitting in the guide slits 224, there is no obstacle in mounting.

By providing the broken pieces 233 on both surfaces of the cutting member 230 and providing the guide slits 224 in both of the sealing portions 212 and 222 as in the present embodiment, the cutting member is separated from the opening prohibition seal adhesive portion A together with the cap. At this time, the opening prohibition seal adhered to the outer surfaces of both the sealing parts 212 and 222 can be simultaneously broken.
In the present embodiment, the configuration example in which the cutting member support portion is provided on the protruding piece 222 on the upper case piece side is shown, but the cutting portion support portion may be provided on the inner side surface of the sealing portion 212 on the lower case piece side. is there.

Furthermore, the cutting member 230 is provided with elastically deformable claw-shaped locked portions 236 at both ends in the longitudinal direction (direction orthogonal to the mounting direction). The locked portion 236 is exposed to the outside through the gap between the protruding pieces when the cutting member 230 is sandwiched between the sealing portions 212 and 222 (see FIGS. 25B and 25C). It is in. Therefore, when the cap is mounted on the sealing base portion, the cap and the cutting member can be engaged with each other. Since the leading edge of the cutting member is also exposed from the gap between the projecting pieces, it is possible to smoothly separate the cutting member from the sealing base portion together with the cap and to break the unsealed seal.
After attaching the cutting member 230 to the protruding piece 222 in this manner, the lower case piece 210 is attached to the upper case piece 220, and the unsealing prohibition seal 250 is adhered across both the sealing portions 212 and 222. To do.

Next, FIG. 25 (b) shows a state where the lower case piece 210 is omitted and the unsealing-prohibiting seal is adhered to the sealing base portion. FIG. 25 (c) and FIG. Showing.
The cap 240 has a protruding locking portion 242 that can be engaged with the locked portion 236 of the cutting member 230 inside the cap body 241, and the cap serves as a sealing base portion as shown in FIG. When mounted, each locking portion 242 elastically engages with the tip end portion of each locked portion 236 to be temporarily integrated.
In this state, when the cap 240 is detached from the sealing base portion as shown in FIGS. 25 (d) and 27, the cutting member 230 integrated with the cap is also integrally detached, so that the cutting member is sealed with both ends. It is extracted from the gap between the stoppers 212 and 222. At this time, the blade portion 231 of the cutting member and the broken piece 233 break the opening prohibition seal. That is, the blade portion 231 is configured to be detachable from the gap (first opening O1) between the sealing portions 212 and 222 to the outside (outside), while the broken piece 233 is provided on the protruding piece 222. Since the guide slit 224 can be detached from the inside (outside) to the outside, each portion of the unsealing prohibition seal located on the movement path of the blade portion 231 and the broken piece 233 can be broken.
Each broken piece (second broken piece) 233 projects from a part of each second opening O2 not covered by the unsealing prohibition seal.

In the configuration example of the unsealing prohibition seal shown in FIG. 28, the identification area 251 made up of random micro-characters in a state where the unsealing prohibition seal 250 is adhered to both projecting pieces is a fragment (second fragment) provided on the cutting member 230. 233 on the moving route. Therefore, when the cutting member is removed together with the cap, the identification area 251 is broken (broken) by the broken pieces 233.
When the identification area 251 is provided at the position corresponding to the blade portion 231 of the tip edge of the cutting member, the identification portion is broken by the blade portion 231 (FIG. 27).
In the present embodiment, a cap is attached to the outer surface of the sealing base portion in a state where the unsealing-inhibiting seal 250 is adhered to the outer surface of the sealing base portion 310 of the main board case so as to extend over the sealing portions 212 and 222 of both case pieces. Although it is mounted so as to cover 240, at this time, the cutting member 230 held between the both sealing portions 212 and 222 and the cap 240 are engaged and integrated. Therefore, before the main board case is opened, that is, in the process of separating the cap 240 from the sealing base portion, the cutting member 230 breaks the opening prohibition seal 250.

Since the cutting member 230 has a serrated blade portion 231 at its tip (tip in the detaching direction), when the cutting member 230 projects outside from the abutting position of the both sealing portions 212, 222, the unsealing prohibition seal is provided. The first seal adhesive portion 250A is configured to be broken. Therefore, it is possible to know that the main board case is illegally opened.
Further, the cutting member 230 includes a breaking piece 233 that projects in a direction intersecting with a direction in which the cap 240 is detached from the sealing base portion 310 (upper case piece side), and breaks when the cutting member 230 is attached to the protruding piece 222. The fragment 233 is in a state of protruding from the guide slit 224 provided on the protruding piece 222 of the upper case piece 220 onto the surface of the protruding piece 222. When the opening prohibition seal is adhered to the surface of the projecting piece 222 in this state, the broken piece 233 always comes into contact with the opening prohibition seal 250 and interferes. For this reason, when the cutting member moves in the detaching direction by detaching the cap 240 from the sealing base portion, the breakable fragments move along the guide slits 224, so that the unsealing-prohibiting seal may be broken linearly. it can. Since the opening prohibition seal portion (second seal adhesive portion 250B) that is broken by the broken piece 233 is a portion corresponding to the surface of the protruding piece 222, it can be directly viewed from the back side of the gaming machine, and fraud Traces of what has been done can easily be found from this break.
When the main board case is rotated and opened with respect to the pedestal as shown in FIG. 7, the opposite side of the cap 240 can be visually recognized.

  In the present embodiment, assuming that the unsealing prohibition seal 250 is adhered across both the sealing portions 212 and 222, the cutting member 230 has a blade portion 231 for irreversibly cutting the identification region 251. Although each of the fracture pieces 233 for surely leaving a trace of fracture on the appearance is provided, this is only an example, and only the blade portion 231 at the tip or only the fracture piece 233 on the other surface may be provided. In particular, when the opening prohibition seal 250 is not adhered across both the sealing portions 212 and 222 but is adhered only to the outer surface of one protruding piece, for example, the protruding piece 222 on the upper case side, the cutting member 230 is not broken. It is sufficient to provide the fragment 233. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to cope with both the case where the opening prohibition seal is adhered across both the projecting pieces and the case where it is adhered only to one projecting piece.

Note that in the example shown in FIG. 27, when the main substrate case 200 is opened, the opening prohibition seal (opening prohibition seal) 250 is broken in a state in which the QR code (registered trademark) 253 cannot be read.
However, it is desirable to configure the blade portion 231 so that the opening prohibition seal 250 is broken in a state where the QR code (registered trademark) 253 can be read.
