Description

The present invention relates to a trolley for transporting a game machine for transporting a game machine such as a slot machine in a game hall.

In the game hall, game machines such as slot machines and pachinko machines are mounted side by side at mounting positions provided at a predetermined height on the game island. In many pachinko and pachislot machines, when mounting a gaming machine on a gaming island, the gaming machine is held from the floor to the top of a plate that protrudes from the lower edge of the mounting position, and when it is removed from the gaming island. The pachinko machine is held and lowered from the top of the table to the floor, but the weight of the pachinko machine is generally about 30 to 50 kg, so this work puts a heavy burden on the staff of the game hall. There is. Then, a dolly capable of reducing the burden of attaching / detaching the gaming machine to / from the gaming island has been proposed (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2018-122833 Jitsuto 33157269 Gazette

In the dolly described in Patent Document 1, since the gantry on which the gaming machine is placed is fixed at the height of the table of the gaming island, when the gaming machine is mounted on the trolley of the trolley, the gaming machine is set on the gaming island. You have to hold it up to the height of the board. In addition, when lowering the gaming machine mounted on the dolly on the floor, it is necessary to hold the gaming machine and lower it from the height of the table plate of the gaming island to the floor. Therefore, with such a dolly, the work of picking up and lowering the gaming machine cannot be reduced. Further, in the dolly described in Patent Document 1, when the game machine is transferred from the gantry to the table, the dolly must be inserted between the game island and the chair, so that the operator holds the game machine and sets the table. The work time tends to be longer than when it is placed on the chair.

In the dolly described in Patent Document 2, although the dolly can be raised and lowered, the dolly cannot be lowered to the floor. Therefore, when the game machine is mounted on the dolly, the game machine must be lifted. Further, since the dolly is fixed to the game island, the game machine is hung and transferred from the gantry to the game island, the work takes time and effort, which is not practical.

The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a trolley for transporting a gaming machine, which is easier to attach / detach to / from a gaming island than the above-mentioned conventional configuration.

The present invention has a dolly body having a substantially L-shaped side view including a leg portion to which casters are attached, a support portion extending upward from the rear end of the leg portion, and a pedestal on which a gaming machine can be raised and lowered. The legs have a substantially U-shape in a plan view in which the rear portions of a pair of left and right vertical slingshots extending in the front-rear direction are connected to the left and right by a horizontal slingshot. Arranged between a pair of vertical rods, the rear part is cantilevered by the support part so that the bottom can be raised from the height at which the bottom abuts on the floor to at least the height of the plate of the game island. The support portion is provided with an elevating device capable of raising and lowering the gantry with the gaming machine mounted and holding the gantry at an arbitrary position. The gantry can be loaded with the gaming machine and the table plate. It is a trolley for transporting a gaming machine, characterized in that it extends forward from the support portion in a size within a range that allows it to move to.

In the gaming machine transport trolley of the present invention, since the gantry can be lowered to a height at which the bottom abuts on the floor by the elevating device, the gaming machine can be mounted on the gantry without being lifted. Further, in the gaming machine transport trolley of the present invention, the gantry can be raised to the height of the table of the game island by the elevating device. Therefore, when the game machine is attached to the game island, the game machine is set on the game island. There is no need to hold it up to the height of the board. Further, since the width of the gaming machine in the amusement park is 48 to 52 cm, the trolley for transporting the gaming machine of the present invention has a length in which the distance between the tip of the gantry and the leading edge of the table plate is about half or less of the width of the gaming machine. If the pachinko and pachislot machines are brought close to each other, the pachinko and pachislot machines can be slid sideways from the gantry to the pachinko machine without lifting the gaming machine. The fixed position and width of the chair in the amusement park are within a certain range, and according to the research of the inventor, as in the present invention, the pedestal is extended forward beyond the range in which the pedestal can be moved from the support to the table. If it is put out, the tip of the gantry can be brought close to the table from behind the chair without interfering with the chair installed in front of the game island. Since the legs of the trolley for transporting the game machine of the present invention have a substantially U-shape in a plan view open to the front side, the legs interfere with the pole of the chair when the gantry is brought close to the table plate. There is no fear of doing it. Therefore, according to the trolley for transporting the gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to transfer the gaming machine from the gantry to the table without lifting the gaming machine. Further, since the trolley for transporting the gaming machine of the present invention has a configuration in which the gantry is brought close to the table plate of the gaming island from behind the chair, the gantry can be brought close to the gaming island without hassle. As described above, according to the trolley for transporting the gaming machine of the present invention, the gaming machine can be transferred from the floor to the table of the gaming island without holding the gaming machine, so that the gaming machine can be transferred to the gaming island. Easy to attach / detach.

In the present invention, the gaming machine includes a slot machine and a pachinko machine, and the support portion has an advance position at which the pachinko machine mounted on the gantry can be supported by advancing forward and rearward. It is proposed that the pachinko machine mounted on the gantry cannot be supported by retracting, and a support tool that can be converted into a retracting position that does not interfere with the slot machine mounted on the gantry is provided. ..

With such a configuration, the pachinko machine can be stably transported by using the trolley for transporting the gaming machine of the present invention, and since there is no problem in transporting the slot machine, both the slot machine and the pachinko machine can be stably transported. It can be transported.

Further, in the present invention, the gaming machine includes a slot machine and a pachinko machine, and is higher than the upper surface of the slot machine and the pachinko machine mounted on the pedestal by the stanchion erected on the gantry and the stanchion. A mounting member held at a position and a tightening mechanism disposed on the mounting member and capable of sandwiching a slot machine and a pachinko machine between the mounting member are provided, and the tightening mechanism has a contact portion. The open state in which the slot machine and the pachinko machine are retracted above the slot machine and the pachinko machine mounted on the gantry and the contact portion are brought into contact with the upper surface of the slot machine and the pachinko machine mounted on the gantry, and the slot machine and the pachinko machine are placed between the slot machine and the pachinko machine. The tightening state that holds the pachinko machine and
A configuration that can be converted to is proposed.

With such a configuration, the slot machine and the pachinko machine can be stably transported by using the gaming machine transport trolley of the present invention. In particular, the shapes of the front and back sides of the pachinko machine are rugged due to the attachment of design members and substrates, and the shape differs greatly depending on the model, so it is not possible to firmly support the pachinko machine from the front and back. Although it is difficult, the upper surface of the pachinko machine is flat and its height is defined by the standard. Therefore, if the pachinko machine is sandwiched up and down as in this configuration, the pachinko machine can be firmly supported. Further, in such a configuration, the tightening mechanism moves up and down together with the gantry to hold the same part of the gaming machine regardless of whether the gantry is raised or lowered, so that the gaming machine is stable regardless of the height of the pedestal. Can be supported by.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a trolley for transporting a gaming machine, which can be easily attached to and detached from the gaming island.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the following examples.
The gaming machine transporting trolley (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “trolley”) 1 of the present embodiment is used to transport the gaming machine in the game hall. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the gaming machine transporting carriage 1 of the present embodiment includes a carriage main body 2 having a substantially L-shaped side view and a mount 3 on which the gaming machine can be raised and lowered. Most of the components of the gaming machine transport trolley 1 are made of metal.

The dolly body 2 includes a leg portion 5 having a substantially U-shape in a plan view that is open forward, and a support portion 6 that extends upward from the rear end of the leg portion 5. The leg portion 5 is formed by connecting the rear portions of a pair of left and right vertical rods 8 extending in the front-rear direction with a single horizontal rod 9, and at the four corners of the leg portion 5, swivel casters 10 for moving a carriage are used. Are attached one by one. Further, a stopper 11 for fixing the carriage is attached to the central portion on the back surface side of the horizontal rod 9. The stopper 11 is a foot-operated type, and the dolly 1 is fixed in place by pushing down the rod with the foot and pressing it against the floor, and pushing down the release lever provided on the side of the rod with the foot to return the rod to the upper position. By doing so, the fixing of the trolley 1 is released. Since the stopper 11 is known and the carriage 1 of the present invention can use all the known stoppers, the details of the configuration of the stopper 11 will be omitted.

The support portion 6 includes a pair of left and right columns 13 erected on both sides of the rear portion of the legs 5, and a beam portion 14 bridged between the upper ends of the two columns 13. The stanchion 13 supports the gantry 3 so as to be able to move up and down, and a groove path 15 in the vertical direction is formed inside each stanchion 13. On the upper surface of the beam portion 14, a rod-shaped handle 17 extending to the left and right for pushing the carriage 1 is arranged. Further, a hand winch 18 for raising and lowering the gantry 3 is arranged at the center of the beam portion 14. The rotary lever 19 for operating the hand winch 18 projects to the back surface side of the beam portion 14. The hand winch 18 constitutes the elevating device according to the present invention.

The gantry 3 has a substantially L-shaped side view including a substantially horizontal gantry main body 21 and a vertical wall portion 22 extending upward from the rear end of the gantry main body 21. The gantry main body 21 and the standing wall portion 22 are formed by bending a single metal plate, and four reinforcing ribs 23 are welded to a portion where the gantry main body 21 and the standing wall portion 22 are connected to each other. Wheels 24 are attached to both sides of the vertical wall portion 22. The gantry 3 is cantileveredly supported by the trolley main body 2 in a state where it can be raised and lowered by fitting the wheels 24 on both sides into the groove paths 15 of the left and right stanchions 13, respectively. In this way, the gantry 3 has a cantilevered rear portion on the stanchion 13 of the trolley main body 2, so that the gantry main body 21 is greatly extended to the front of the stanchion 13. Specifically, the gantry main body 21 extends in front of the support column 13 by a size that allows the gaming machine to be loaded. As will be described later, according to such a configuration, the tip of the gantry main body 21 can be brought close to the plate of the game island within the size that the game machine can move from behind the chair fixed to the front of the game island. .. The gantry 3 is supported by the trolley main body 2 so as to sufficiently withstand the load of a general gaming machine (30 to 50 kg). Further, a pulley 25 for hanging the wire 26 of the hand winch 18 is arranged at the rear portion of the upper surface of the gantry main body 21. Further, although the upper surface of the gantry main body 21 is basically horizontal, a slope 27 whose upper surface is inclined downward toward the front is formed at the tip end portion of the gantry main body 21.

The gaming machine transporting trolley 1 of the present embodiment is configured to be mounted on the gantry 3 with the front surface of the gaming machine facing the side of the trolley 1. Since slot machines and pachinko machines have a larger width than the depth, the width of the dolly 1 can be narrowed by placing the game machine with the front facing sideways, and the passage between the game islands is narrow. This is because the dolly 1 can be appropriately used even in the amusement park.

The gantry 3 moves up and down while being supported by the support columns 13 of the bogie body 2, from the lower position L where the bottom of the gantry body 21 abuts on the floor to the upper position H where the vertical wall portion 22 abuts on the beam portion 14. It can be raised and lowered. In the gaming machine transport trolley 1 of the present embodiment, the height of the upper position H is designed so that the upper surface of the gantry main body 21 can be substantially the same as or higher than the table plate of the gaming island. Specifically, the height of the plate of the game island is about 50 cm for the game island for slot machines and about 60 cm for the game island for pachinko machines, so if the dolly 1 is at least used for pachinko machines. , The upper position H needs to be 60 cm or more. If the dolly 1 is used only for transporting the slot machine, the upper position H may be set to 50 cm or more. The gaming machine transport trolley 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that the upper surface of the gantry main body 21 has a height of 60 cm or more from the floor at the upper position H.

The hand winch 18 is a known ratchet type winch, and when the rotary lever 19 is rotated clockwise to wind up the wire 26, the gantry 3 is pulled up. Then, when the rotation operation of the rotary lever 19 is completed, the gantry 3 is held at that height. Further, when the rotary lever 19 is rotated counterclockwise with the gantry 3 pulled upward, the wound wire 26 is pulled out, and the gantry 3 is lowered by the amount by which the wire 26 is pulled out. According to the hand winch 18, the gantry 3 can be raised and lowered with a light force even when the gaming machine is mounted on the gantry 3.

A method of using the gaming machine transport trolley 1 of this embodiment will be described based on the usage example. The usage example described below is an example in which the dolly 1 is used for the work of transporting the slot machine M stored in the warehouse of the game hall to the mounting position G of the game island S.

First, the slot machine M placed on the floor Y of the warehouse is placed on the gantry 3 of the trolley 1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, the gantry 3 is lowered to the lower position L, and the trolley 1 is fixed to the side of the slot machine M by the stopper 11. Subsequently, the slot machine M is tilted so that one side of the machine is placed on the tip of the gantry main body 21. Then, the slot machine M is pushed in the direction of the carriage 1 and placed on the gantry 3 as shown in FIG. 4 (b). Since the bottom of the gantry body 21 is in contact with the floor Y and the slope 27 is formed at the tip of the gantry body 21, the slot machine M can be easily attached to the gantry 3 by simply pushing it in the horizontal direction. Can be placed. After the slot machine M is mounted on the gantry 3, the rotary lever 19 of the hand winch 18 is operated to raise the gantry 3 from the lower position L to an appropriate position as shown in FIG. 4 (c) to raise the gantry 3. Separate from the floor Y. Then, the fixing of the dolly 1 by the stopper 11 is released, and as shown in FIG. 5, the dolly 1 on which the slot machine M is mounted is moved to the vicinity of the mounting position G of the game island S. As described above, since the width of the dolly 1 is narrower than the passage between the game islands S, the mounting position G does not cause the dolly 1 to collide with the chair C installed in front of the game island S. It can be moved to the vicinity.

After moving the dolly 1 to the vicinity of the mounting position G, the height of the dolly 3 is adjusted by the hand winch 18. Specifically, the upper surface of the gantry main body 21 is adjusted to be substantially the same height as the height of the plate P of the game island S. When transferring the slot machine M from the table 3 to the table P, the upper surface of the frame body 21 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the table P, and when transferring the slot machine M from the table P to the table 3. It is preferable that the upper surface of the gantry main body 21 is slightly lower than the upper surface of the table plate P.

Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (a), the chair C fixed to the front of the mounting position G is rotated by 90 ° around the pole J, and the gantry 3 is the backrest B of the chair C. Do not interfere with. Then, in such a state, the dolly 1 is moved from behind the chair C toward the mounting position G, and the gantry main body 21 is moved to the seat surface Z of the chair C as shown in FIGS. 6 (b) and 7 (b). Arranged above, the tip of the gantry main body 21 is brought close to the table plate P in front of the mounting position G. Since the legs 5 of the trolley 1 have a substantially U-shape in a plan view with the front open, they do not interfere with the pole J of the chair C when the gantry 3 is brought close to the table plate P.

In this way, when the gantry 3 is brought close to each other until the distance between the tip of the gantry main body 21 and the leading edge of the plate P is less than half the horizontal width (48 cm) of the slot machine M, the trolley 1 is fixed by the stopper 11. , The slot machine M on the gantry 3 is pushed in the direction of the game island S to move horizontally. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the slot machine M is transferred from the gantry 3 onto the table plate P and fitted into the opening K of the mounting position G. Then, wiring or the like is connected to the slot machine M fitted in the opening K, and the slot machine M is rotated in the front direction on the plate P to complete the mounting of the slot machine M at the mounting position G.

As in the above usage example, if the game machine transport trolley 1 of the present embodiment is used, the slot machine M mounted on the floor of the game hall can be transported to the mounting position G of the game island S without being held up. Therefore, the slot machine M can be attached to the game island S with less effort than before. In particular, in the gaming machine transport trolley 1 of the present embodiment, since the gantry 3 can be brought close to the table plate P from behind the chair C, the gantry 3 can be placed on the table plate P in a shorter time than the trolley of the conventional configuration. It has the advantage of being able to approach. Since the chairs for games are not standardized, there are some differences in dimensions and fixed positions, but if the gantry 3 is extended about 50 cm in front of the columns 13 as in the dolly 1 of this embodiment, , The tip of the gantry main body 21 can be brought close to the game machine movable dimension of the table plate of the game island from behind almost all the game chairs installed in the game hall. Further, some chairs in the amusement park are equipped with armrests, but since the armrests can be folded, it does not hinder the use of the trolley 1. In addition, some chairs for games have a removable backrest. For such a chair, if the trolley 1 of the present embodiment is used with the backrest removed, the gantry 3 can be brought closer to the table plate P more easily. In the above usage example, the dolly 1 is brought close to the table plate P so that the dolly 1 faces the game island S. However, when the dolly 3 is brought close to the table plate P, the dolly 1 is brought close to the game island S. You may tilt it diagonally.

Further, the above usage example is an example of mounting the slot machine M on the game island S, but the slot machine M is transported from the mounting position G of the game island S to the warehouse of the game field by using the dolly 1 of this embodiment. In this case, the procedure opposite to the above usage example may be performed. That is, the dolly 1 on which the slot machine M is not mounted is moved to the front of the mounting position G, and the dolly 1 is fixed in a state where the gantry 3 held at the height of the table plate P is brought close to the table plate P. Then, the slot machine M mounted at the mounting position G is horizontally moved in front of the game island S, transferred from the game island S to the gantry 3, and the dolly 1 is pushed and transported to the warehouse. Finally, the gantry 3 may be lowered to the lower position L and transferred from the gantry 3 onto the floor. Even in such work, since it is not necessary to hold the slot machine M, the slot machine M can be transported with less labor than before.

Further, although the above usage example is an example of transporting the slot machine M, the gaming machine transporting trolley 1 of the present embodiment transports the pachinko machine from the warehouse to the mounting position G of the gaming island S for pachinko. , Can also be used to transport from the mounting position G of the game island S to the warehouse. The method of using the pachinko machine when transporting it is basically the same as that of the slot machine M, but the pachinko machine has less depth than the slot machine M and is unstable when mounted on the gantry 3. When transporting a pachinko machine, it is desirable to hold the machine by hand to prevent it from tipping over.

As described above, according to the gaming machine transporting trolley 1 of the present embodiment, the gaming machine can be transported from the floor Y of the gaming field to the mounting position G of the gaming island simply by moving the gaming machine horizontally. It is possible to easily attach / detach the gaming machine to / from the gaming island as compared with the conventional configuration.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, the elevating device according to the present invention is configured by a hand winch, but the elevating device according to the present invention may be one that raises and lowers the gantry by hydraulic pressure or a gas cylinder. Further, the elevating device according to the present invention may be one that elevates and lowers the gantry by using the power of a motor or the like.

Further, as described above, in the gaming machine transporting trolley 1 of the above embodiment, when transporting the pachinko machine, it is necessary to be careful about the falling of the pachinko machine. It may be arranged. 9 and 10 are a modified example of the gaming machine transporting trolley 1a in which the support tool 30 for preventing the pachinko machine T from tipping over is arranged on the upper portion of the gaming machine transporting trolley 1 of the above embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the support 30 is a plate piece having a substantially U-shape in a plan view. The support 30 has a width dimension that can be fitted to the side of the pachinko machine T, and is attached to the upper surface of the beam portion 14 so that the opening faces forward. The support 30 is slidably held in the front-rear direction along the sliding groove 32 formed on the upper surface of the beam portion 14, and has a retracted position E where the entire surface of the beam portion 14 overlaps with the sliding groove 32, and an advance projecting forward. It can be converted to the position F. Further, the support tool 30 is provided with a fixed screw 31 that restricts the slide of the support tool 30 and can hold the support tool 30 at the retracted position E and the advanced position F.

When the slot machine M is transported by the gaming machine transport trolley 1a of the modified example, the support 30 is held at the retracted position E as shown in FIGS. 9A and 10A. In such a state, since the support 30 does not interfere with the slot machine M, the slot machine M can be transported without any problem. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine T is transported by the gaming machine transport trolley 1a of the modified example, the support tool 30 is held at the advance position F as shown in FIGS. 9 (b) and 10 (b). In such a state, since the support tool 30 can be fitted onto the side portion of the pachinko machine T, it is possible to prevent the pachinko machine T from tipping over during transportation. As described above, the gaming machine transport trolley 1a of the present modification can stably transport the pachinko machine T if the support tool 30 is held at the advance position F, and the slot if the support tool 30 is held at the retracted position E. Since the machine M can be stably transported, there is an advantage that both the slot machine M and the pachinko machine T can be stably transported.

FIGS. 11 and 12 are a modified example of the gaming machine transporting trolley 1b in which the gaming machine transporting trolley 1 of the above embodiment is provided with a tightening mechanism 37 for preventing the pachinko machine T from tipping over. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, in this modification, a support column 35 is erected in the center of the rear portion of the upper surface of the gantry main body 21, and a horizontal plate-shaped mounting member 36 extending forward is provided at the upper end portion of the support column 35. It is fixed. A tightening mechanism 37 capable of sandwiching the slot machine M or the pachinko machine T between the mounting member 36 and the gantry 3 is arranged at the tip of the mounting member 36. The length of the support column 35 is longer than the vertical width of the slot machine M and the pachinko machine T, and the mounting member 36 is located higher than the upper surface of the slot machine M and the pachinko machine T so as not to interfere with the slot machine M and the pachinko machine T mounted on the gantry 3. Is held in. The vertical widths of the slot machine M and the pachinko machine T installed in the amusement park are set to the same dimensions (81 cm) by the standard.

The tightening mechanism 37 includes a screw rod 38 that penetrates the mounting member 36 up and down, a disk-shaped contact portion 39 attached to the lower end of the screw rod 38, and a handle 40 attached to the upper end of the screw rod 38. It is equipped with. The tightening mechanism 37 can raise and lower the abutting portion 39 by operating the handle 40 to rotate the screw rod 38 with respect to the mounting member 36, and as shown in FIG. The open state in which the contact portion 39 is retracted above the slot machine M and the pachinko machine T mounted on the gantry 3, and the slot machine M and the pachinko machine on which the contact portion 39 is mounted on the gantry 3 as shown in FIG. 13 (b). It is configured so that it can be brought into contact with the upper surface of the machine T and converted into a tightened state in which the slot machine M and the pachinko machine T are sandwiched between the machine T and the gantry 3.

When the pachinko machine T is transported by the gaming machine transport trolley 1b of the modified example, as shown in FIG. 13A, the handle 40 is operated to release the tightening mechanism 37 and the pachinko machine T is released. It is placed on the gantry 3 and placed directly under the contact portion 39. Then, the handle 40 is operated to lower the contact portion 39 to a position where it abuts on the upper surface of the pachinko machine T, and the tightening mechanism 37 is converted into a tightened state. In such a state, since the pachinko machine T is vertically sandwiched by the gantry 3 and the contact portion 39, it is possible to prevent the pachinko machine T mounted on the gantry 3 from tipping over during transportation. As described above, according to the gaming machine transporting carriage 1b of the present modification, the pachinko machine T can be stably transported. In particular, the shape of the front side and the back side of the pachinko machine T has severe undulations due to the attachment of design members and substrates, and the shape differs greatly depending on the model, so the pachinko machine T is firmly supported from the front and back directions. However, since the upper surface of the pachinko machine T is flat and its height is defined by the standard, the pachinko machine T can be firmly supported by holding it up and down as in this modification. Further, in the gaming machine transport trolley 1a of the above-mentioned modified example provided with the support tool 30, the support tool 30 is arranged on the trolley main body 2 and does not follow the rise of the gantry 3, so that when the gantry 3 is raised, the pachinko machine is used. The position that supports the machine T is relatively lowered and the support becomes unstable. However, as shown in FIG. 14, the tightening mechanism 37 of this modification rises together with the gantry 3, so that the height of the gantry 3 is high. Regardless of this, the pachinko machine T can be stably supported.

Further, as described above, since the height of the slot machine M installed in the game hall is the same as that of the pachinko machine T, the game machine transport trolley 1b of this modified example is a gantry in the same manner as the pachinko machine T. It is also possible to sandwich and transport the slot machine M between the contact portion 39 and the contact portion 39. The slot machine M has a larger bottom and is more stable than the pachinko machine T, so there is less risk of it falling over. There is. Therefore, if the slot machine M is sandwiched and transported by the tightening mechanism 37 using the gaming machine transport trolley 1b of the present modification, the slot machine M can be transported more stably.

In this modification, the mounting member 36 is held in a cantilever shape on one support column 35, but two columns are erected on the upper surface of the gantry, and the mounting member is placed between the two columns. May be held so as to be crossed over. Further, in the present modification, the pachinko machine T is sandwiched by the screw type tightening mechanism 37, but the tightening mechanism according to the present invention is not limited to the screw type, but may be a ratchet type, a spring type, or a toggle type. good.
