Description

The present invention relates to a measuring device, and more particularly to a measuring device capable of measuring an inclination angle of a glass surface in front of a pachinko machine.

In Patent Document 1, the applicant has proposed an inclinometer in which a metal fitting is inserted into the gap between the pachinko machine outer frame and the island frame and suspended from the metal fitting to measure the inclination angle of the pachinko machine base surface. However, the board surface has a large number of needles, as well as ball holes and decorations, and it may be difficult to bring the inclinometer into contact with the board surface even if the legs are lengthened. On the other hand, since the glass plate fitted into the frame of the door on the front of the pachinko machine is substantially parallel to the board surface, the inclination of the glass surface can be measured and the inclination angle of the pachinko machine can be confirmed.

Patent Document 2 describes that FIG. 7 provides a fixing member 18 for fixing the inclinometer, and paragraph [0042] describes that a suction cup can be used for the fixing member 18. When a suction cup is used on the glass surface, the suction force is strong and it is not easy to remove, and the work of wiping off the suction marks occurs after use. Moreover, since the glass plate is generally thin, the glass plate may break if it is strongly pressed against the suction cup.

An object of the present invention is to provide a measuring device that can be easily attached to and detached from a frame on the front surface of a pachinko machine and measures an inclination angle of a glass surface surrounded by the frame.

The measuring device according to the present invention is a measuring device that measures the inclination angle of the glass surface on the front surface of the pachinko machine. A hanging member that is rotatably hung on a mounting shaft and has a protrusion at the bottom abutting on a glass surface, and tilters mounted on both sides of the hanging member are provided.

The tension rod is composed of a main body and a slide member, and the slide member operates according to a ratchet that enables sliding in one direction and suppresses sliding in the other direction, and expands and contracts the tension rod. And.

The mounting shaft is provided with a holding spring that urges the hanging member toward the glass surface, and the hanging member can move in the front direction of the glass surface beyond the height of the protrusion. To do.

According to the measuring device of the present invention, since the stretchable tension rod is provided, both ends of the tension rod can be brought into contact with the frame of the door and attached to the glass surface. Both ends of the tension rod push the frame, and the load on the glass surface is small because it only lightly hits the glass surface. Since the tension rod can be expanded and contracted, it can be installed even if the frame size on the front of the pachinko machine is different. Since the hanging member is rotatably and vertically movable on the mounting shaft of the tension rod, the suspension member and the tension rod are separated from each other back and forth, and the tension rod is rotated around the mounting shaft to rotate the tension rod. Can be mounted both vertically and horizontally on the glass surface.

The tension rod consists of a main body and a slide member, and the slide member operates according to a ratchet that enables sliding in one direction and suppresses sliding in the other direction. You can go in and out from both ends. As a result, the stretched tension rod does not shrink, and the state can be maintained. When the tension rod is removed from the frame, the ratchet is raised and the slide member is slid in the opposite direction to contract the tension rod.

Since the holding spring is provided on the mounting shaft, when the protrusion at the bottom of the hanging member comes into contact with the glass surface and a force is applied, the holding spring contracts and the hanging member can be moved forward of the glass surface. Therefore, the hanging member is maintained in contact with the glass surface. Further, since the presser spring contracts so as to be movable above the height of the protrusion, the tension rod can be rotated without hitting the protrusion, and the tension rod can be attached in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction of the glass surface.

Hereinafter, the measuring device of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of mounting example 1 of the measuring device 100 according to the present invention, in which the tension rod 7 is pressed against the glass surface 1a on the front surface of the pachinko machine without extending in the vertical direction. There is a door in front of the pachinko machine, and a glass plate 1 is mounted on the frame body 17 of the door. The glass plate 1 is surrounded by a frame body 17, and the frame body 17 projects slightly forward from the glass surface. If the measuring device 100 is simply pressed against the glass surface 1a, it will fall. Therefore, a tension rod 7 is provided. In the tension rod 7, slide members 16 and 16 are incorporated in the main body 15. In this embodiment, the slide members 16 are provided at two locations in the length direction of the main body portion 15. A contact portion 9 is provided at one end of the slide member 16 so that the tension rod 7 can be expanded and contracted in two directions, an upward direction and a downward direction. The slide members may be provided at one location instead of the two locations on the main body 15.

As shown in FIG. 1, an H-shaped hanging member 5 is provided on the front side (the side away from the glass surface) of the tension rod 7. The hanging member 5 is composed of a horizontal member 12 and vertical members 13 on both sides thereof, and the center of the horizontal member 12 is rotatably and vertically moved to the mounting shaft 11 of the tension rod 7. In that case, the lower ends of the vertical members 13 on both sides of the hanging member 5 face directly downward, and the horizontal members 12 are horizontal. The tilter 4 is of a type in which the angle is read by the bubble 4a. The tilter is not limited to this, and may be a digital type. The ratchet (claw) 8 is a mechanism that enables the slide member 16 to slide in one direction but suppresses the slide member 16 in the other direction. In FIG. 1, the upper ratchet 8 normally allows the upper sliding member 16 to slide upward, but suppresses sliding downward. On the contrary, the lower ratchet 8 makes the lower slide member 16 slid downward, but suppresses the sliding upward. In order to slide the slide member 16 in the restrained direction, for example, the ratchet 8 urged by a spring and tilted is manually operated to raise the ratchet 8. The ratchet 8 is engaged with a tooth (not shown) provided inside the main body 15. The hanging member 5 may be an H-shaped plate material or a quadrangular plate material as long as the left and right sides are balanced at the mounting shaft.

In FIG. 1, the tension rod 7 is lightly pressed against the glass surface 1a of the glass plate 1, but the contact portions 9 and 9 are not in contact with the frame body 17 of the door. Since the frame body 17 protrudes forward from the glass surface 1a, the slide portions 16 and 16 are slid so that the measuring device 100 does not fall, and the contact portions 9 and 9 at the tips are extended upward and downward to form the frame body. It is brought into contact with 17. The operation may be such that the lower slide member 16 is extended to a predetermined length, the lower contact portion 9 is brought into contact with the frame body 17, and only the upper slide member 16 is slid upward.

FIG. 2 is a front view in which the tension rod 7 is extended in the vertical direction and the measuring device 100 according to the present invention is attached to the frame body 17 in front of the pachinko machine. To extend the upper slide member 16 upward, push it upward. As a result, the upper slide portion 16 is pushed upward from the main body portion 15. The lower slide member 16 is extended downward by pushing it downward. As a result, the lower slide portion 16 is pushed downward from the main body portion 15. In this way, the contact portions 9 and 9 are brought into contact with the upper and lower edges of the frame body 17 surrounding the glass surface 1a. Since the tension rod 7 is tensioned in the vertical direction, the measuring device 100 does not fall.

FIG. 3 is a diagram in which the measuring device 100 is removed from the frame body 17 in front of the pachinko machine, and the tension rod 7 is rotated from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. Since the center of the lateral member 12 is rotatably attached to the attachment shaft 11 of the tension rod 7, the suspension member 5 is rotated so that the tension rod 7 and the horizontal member 12 overlap each other. Can be done in parallel. Then, if the tension rod 7 is extended in the left-right direction, the measuring device 100 can be attached to the frame body in front of the pachinko machine. The orientation of the hanging member 5 does not change from the case of FIG.

FIG. 4 is a front view of the mounting example 2 of the measuring device 100 according to the present invention, in which the tension rod 7 is pressed against the glass surface 1a on the front surface of the pachinko machine without extending in the left-right direction. In that case, in the hanging member 5, the vertical members 13 on both sides face directly downward, and the horizontal members 12 are horizontal.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, a pressing spring 10 is provided on the mounting shaft 11 to urge the suspending member 5 rearward (in the direction of the glass surface 1a). Therefore, the protrusions 2 (4 in total) at the bottom of the hanging member 5 are maintained in contact with the glass surface 1a. Specifically, the bottom of the hanging member 5 has a total of four protrusions 2, 2, 2, and 2, and these protrusions abut on the glass surface 1a. When the protrusions 2, 2, 2, and 2 receive a force from the glass surface, the hanging member 5 is pushed up. Then, since the presser spring 10 contracts, the suspending member 5 moves to the front side (direction away from the glass surface 1a). The tilter 4 is provided with a display portion facing upward, and the tilt angle of the glass plate 1 can be read at the position of the bubble 4a. Further, although the tilting device 4 is installed on both the left and right sides, if the hanging member 5 is balanced by a weight so as to be balanced on the left and right sides of the mounting shaft 11, it may be installed on only one side.

FIG. 6 is a front view in which the tension rod 7 is extended in the left-right direction and the measuring device 100 according to the present invention is attached to the frame body 17 in front of the pachinko machine. The left contact portion 9 is extended to the left by pushing the left slide member 16 to the left. When pushed to the left, the slide portion 16 is pushed out from the main body portion 15 to the left. The right contact portion 9 is extended to the right by pushing the right slide member 16 to the right. When pushed to the right, the slide portion 16 on the right side is pushed out from the main body portion 15 to the right. In this way, the contact portions 9 and 9 are brought into contact with the left and right edges of the frame body 17 surrounding the glass surface 1a. Since the tension rod 7 is tensioned in the left-right direction, the measuring device 100 does not fall.

FIG. 7 is a plan view of FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, a pressing spring 10 is provided on the mounting shaft 11 to urge the hanging member 5 rearward (in the direction of the glass surface 1a). Therefore, the protrusion 2 at the bottom of the hanging member 5 is maintained in contact with the glass surface 1a. The four protrusions 2, 2, 2, 2 on the bottom abut on the glass surface 1a. When the protrusions 2, 2, 2, and 2 receive a force from the glass surface, the hanging member 5 is pushed up. Then, since the presser spring 10 contracts, the suspending member 5 moves to the front side (direction away from the glass surface 1a). The mounting shaft 11 has a length that allows the hanging member 5 to move in the front-rear direction to a height equal to or higher than the height of the protrusion 2. When the measuring device 100 is removed from the frame body 17 on the front surface of the pachinko machine, the tension rod 7 can rotate without hitting the protrusion 2 by widening the distance between the hanging member 5 and the tension rod 7 in the front-rear direction. In this way, the tension rod 7 can be oriented vertically (vertically) or horizontally (horizontally).

The slide member 16 is pinched and slid by the operator by hand, but an operation lever (not shown) may be provided for easy operation. The main body 15 may use a screw thread of a screw shaft as a member that engages with the ratchet 8. The ratchet 8 is attached so as to be inclined by a spring and is engaged with a screw thread so that the ratchet 8 can slide in one direction but is prevented from sliding in the other direction. If the operator raises the ratchet 8 against this spring, it can slide in the other direction. A cushion material can be attached to the contact portion 9 in order to soften the impact when the contact portion 9 is brought into contact with the frame body 17.

According to this embodiment
(1) Since the tension rod 7 is brought into contact with the frame body 17, the load on the glass surface is small.
(2) The tension rod 7 can be attached to the frame body in both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction.
(3) Since the tension rod 7 can be expanded and contracted, it can be attached even if the frame size is different.
(4) Since a one-way ratchet is provided, the tension state can be maintained.
(5) Since the hanging member 5 can move back and forth above the height of the protrusion, it is possible to prevent the hanging member 5 from colliding with the protrusion 2 even if the tension rod 7 is rotated.

The present invention is suitable as a measuring device for measuring the inclination angle of the glass surface in front of the pachinko machine.
