Description

本発明は、遊技機を配置するための遊技機島の製造方法及び遊技機島に関する。 The present invention relates to a game machine island manufacturing method and a game machine island for arranging game machines.

ぱちんこ機やスロット機等の遊技機が設置されている遊技場では、一般的に、遊技機島と称される構造物が設けられている。そして、この遊技機島には、遊技機が設置されると共に、設置された遊技機への遊技媒体の供給や、遊技機からの遊技媒体の回収を可能とするための各種部材が内蔵されている。
このような遊技機島として、例えば、特許文献1に開示されたものがある。
2. Description of the Related Art A game arcade where game machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines are installed generally has a structure called a game machine island. A game machine is installed on the game machine island, and various members are built therein to enable the supply of game media to the installed game machine and the recovery of the game medium from the game machine. there is
As such a gaming machine island, for example, there is one disclosed in Patent Document 1.

特許文献1に開示された遊技機島(遊技島)は、左右に所定間隔(ユニット間隔Ly)を開けて配列したフレーム部材と、左右側部がフレーム部材に取り付けられる上段ユニット及び下段ユニットを備えたものとなっている。
すなわち、左右方向で離れた2つのフレーム部材の一方と他方のそれぞれに上段ユニット及び下段ユニットの左右方向における両端部のそれぞれが固定され、上段ユニット及び下段ユニットがこの2つのフレーム部材の間で延びた構造となっている。そして、複数の上段ユニット、複数の下段ユニットが左右方向で並列することで、それぞれ遊技島の上側壁部分の基礎となる部分と、下側壁部分の基礎となる部分が形成されている。
The game machine island (game island) disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes frame members arranged with a predetermined interval (unit interval Ly) left and right, and an upper unit and a lower unit whose left and right sides are attached to the frame member. It is a thing.
That is, both ends of the upper unit and the lower unit in the left-right direction are fixed to one and the other of two frame members separated in the left-right direction, respectively, and the upper unit and the lower unit extend between the two frame members. structure. By arranging a plurality of upper units and a plurality of lower units in parallel in the left-right direction, a base portion for the upper wall portion and a base portion for the lower wall portion of the game island are formed.

この遊技機島を構築する際には、フレーム部材の配置間隔に合わせた大きさの上段ユニット及び下段ユニットを形成する。つまり、上段ユニット及び下段ユニットは、左右方向の長さがフレーム部材の配置間隔と同等程度の長さとなっている。そして、左右方向で隣合う2つの上段ユニット同士の境界部分と、下段ユニット同士の境界部分とが1つのフレーム部材に固定された状態となる。 When constructing this game machine island, an upper unit and a lower unit having a size matching the arrangement interval of the frame members are formed. That is, the upper unit and the lower unit have a length in the left-right direction approximately equal to the arrangement interval of the frame members. Then, a boundary portion between two upper units adjacent in the left-right direction and a boundary portion between lower units are fixed to one frame member.

特開2008-148940号公報JP 2008-148940 A

ここで、フレーム部材の間隔は、遊技機島に設置する遊技機や台間機器(所謂玉貸機等)の数や大きさ、遊技場(遊技機島の設置場所)の状況等に応じて適宜決定される。 Here, the spacing between the frame members depends on the number and size of gaming machines and inter-machine equipment (so-called ball lending machines, etc.) to be installed on the gaming machine island, the situation of the gaming hall (where the gaming machine island is installed), etc. Determined as appropriate.

このため、特許文献1に記載の遊技機島では、遊技機や台間機器の選定が完了しない場合、フレーム部材の配置間隔が決まらず、上段ユニットや下段ユニットを形成できないという問題があった。
すなわち、遊技機や台間機器の選定には、一般的に時間がかかることが多いため、施工の開始が遅れてしまい、遊技機島を期日までに構築することが困難となる場合があった。
For this reason, in the gaming machine island described in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that if the selection of gaming machines and inter-machine equipment is not completed, the arrangement intervals of the frame members cannot be determined, and the upper unit and the lower unit cannot be formed.
In other words, the selection of game machines and inter-machine equipment generally takes a lot of time, which delays the start of construction and sometimes makes it difficult to build game machine islands by the deadline. .

また、施工開始後に台間機器等を追加配置することが決定された場合、フレーム部材の配置間隔を変更する必要が生じてしまう。この場合もまた、変更後の配置間隔に合わせて上段ユニット及び下段ユニットを再作製する必要が生じてしまうので、遊技機島の期日までの構築が困難となる。
以上のことから、施工開始後の作業を簡易化し、遊技機島をいち早く構築したいという欲求があった。
In addition, if it is decided to additionally arrange equipment between the stands after the start of construction, it will be necessary to change the arrangement interval of the frame members. In this case, too, it is necessary to remanufacture the upper unit and the lower unit according to the layout interval after the change, which makes it difficult to construct the game machine island by the due date.
From the above, there was a desire to simplify the work after the start of construction and quickly build a game machine island.

さらに、遊技機島を構築する毎に、フレーム部材の配置間隔に合わせてその都度上段ユニット及び下段ユニットを作製するので、構築する遊技機島毎に上段ユニット及び下段ユニットの大きさが異なるものとなってしまう。このことから、大量生産に向かず、遊技機島の製造コストを低減する上で改善の余地があった。 Furthermore, each time a game machine island is constructed, the upper unit and the lower unit are produced in accordance with the arrangement intervals of the frame members, so that the sizes of the upper unit and the lower unit differ for each game machine island to be constructed. turn into. For this reason, it is not suitable for mass production, and there is room for improvement in terms of reducing the manufacturing cost of game machine islands.

そこで本発明は、遊技機島の製造において、製造コストを低減し、施工開始後の作業を簡易化するための技術を提供することを課題とする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for reducing the manufacturing cost and simplifying the work after the start of construction in manufacturing game machine islands.

That is, the game machine island 1 has two longitudinal side walls 10 positioned at one end and the other end in the longitudinal direction, and two short side walls positioned at one end and the other end in the width direction. It has four side wall portions consisting of portions 11 (one not shown in FIG. 1).

長手側壁部10は、主に装飾を目的とする板状部材(後述する妻板部材41)によって形成される側壁部分である。この長手側壁部10は、必要に応じて呼出ランプ等の機器(島用設備)が取り付けられる部分である。 The longitudinal side wall portion 10 is a side wall portion formed by a plate-like member (end plate member 41 to be described later) mainly for the purpose of decoration. This longitudinal side wall portion 10 is a portion to which devices such as call lamps (island facilities) are attached as required.

短手側壁部11は、遊技機2の取り付け部分が形成される側壁部分であり、上側の外壁部分を形成する上部側壁部15(壁部分)と、下側の外壁部分を形成する下部側壁部16(壁部分)と、これらの間に位置する機器配置部17(配設部)を有する。
すなわち、短手側壁部11には、高さ方向における中央側部分に、遊技機2や台間機器20等を配置するための空間である機器配置部17が形成されている(図2等参照)。
なお、図1では、作図の都合上、一部の遊技機2にのみ符号を付しており、他への符号を省略している。また、他部材(例えば、図1では台間機器20、台間板部材44等)についても同様に、複数のうちの一部にのみ適宜符号を付し、他への符号を省略している。このことは、以下の図面においても同様であり、適宜一部の符号を省略している。
The short side wall portion 11 is a side wall portion on which a mounting portion of the gaming machine 2 is formed, and includes an upper side wall portion 15 (wall portion) forming an upper outer wall portion and a lower side wall portion forming a lower outer wall portion. 16 (wall portion) and an equipment installation portion 17 (installation portion) located therebetween.
That is, in the short side wall portion 11, a device placement portion 17, which is a space for arranging the gaming machine 2, the inter-machine device 20, etc., is formed in the central portion in the height direction (see FIG. 2, etc.). ).
Note that, in FIG. 1, for the convenience of drawing, only some of the game machines 2 are given reference numerals, and the reference numerals for the others are omitted. Similarly, for other members (for example, the inter-stand device 20, the inter-stand plate member 44, etc. in FIG. 1), only some of the plurality are appropriately numbered, and the other members are omitted. . This is the same in the following drawings, and some reference numerals are omitted as appropriate.

下部側壁部16は、遊技機2の下方側に位置する膳板部分25と、この膳板部分25の下方側に隣接する外壁部分を形成している。 The lower side wall portion 16 forms a tray portion 25 located on the lower side of the gaming machine 2 and an outer wall portion adjacent to the lower side of the tray portion 25 .

機器配置部17は、遊技機島1の内外を連通し、遊技機島1の長手方向に沿って延びる空間である(図2参照)。 The equipment arrangement portion 17 is a space that communicates between the inside and outside of the gaming machine island 1 and extends along the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1 (see FIG. 2).

ここで、本実施形態では、機器配置部17に配置する遊技機2として、所謂ぱちんこ機(弾球遊技機)を採用している。つまり、この遊技機2は、遊技球(ぱちんこ球であり遊技媒体)を本体内の遊技領域に打ち出し、遊技領域に形成された入賞口に入賞させる遊技が可能となっている。 Here, in this embodiment, a so-called pachinko machine (pinball game machine) is adopted as the game machine 2 arranged in the equipment arrangement section 17 . In other words, the gaming machine 2 is capable of playing a game in which game balls (pachinko balls and game media) are launched into the game area in the main body and entered into the winning openings formed in the game area.

また、本実施形態では、機器配置部17に配置する台間機器20として、遊技媒体貸出機(所謂玉貸機)を採用している。
遊技媒体貸出機は、遊技者に対して遊技球(遊技媒体)を貸し出すための装置である。
また、この他、台間機器20としては、例えば、分煙用装置が採用できる。
例えば、本実施形態では、2つの遊技機2の間に一つの台間機器20を設けているが、これに替わって複数の台間機器20を設けてもよい。すなわち、2つの遊技機2の間に二つの台間機器20を設け、それぞれの台間機器20として遊技媒体貸出機と、分煙用装置を採用してもよい。
In addition, in this embodiment, a game medium lending machine (so-called ball lending machine) is employed as the inter-machine device 20 arranged in the device placement section 17 .
A game media lending machine is a device for lending game balls (game media) to players.

That is, two inter-machine devices 20 may be provided between the two gaming machines 2, and a game medium lending machine and a smoke separation device may be employed as the inter-machine devices 20, respectively.

なお、ここでいう分煙用装置は、所定の席から臨席へ向かう煙草の煙の流れを遮断(又は抑制)するための装置である。この分煙用装置としては、空気を吹き出すエアーカーテン装置や、物理的に煙を遮断する板状体(分煙ボード)を備えた遮蔽装置がある。 Here, the device for separating smoke is a device for blocking (or suppressing) the flow of cigarette smoke from a predetermined seat to the attendant. As the smoke separation device, there are an air curtain device that blows out air and a shielding device that has a plate-like body (smoke separation board) that physically blocks smoke.

そして、機器配置部17において、遊技機2と台間機器20が配置されていない部分には、遊技機島1の外壁面(短手側壁部11の外壁面)の一部を形成する板部材(後述する台間板部材44)を配置している。すなわち、機器配置部17では、一部に遊技機2と台間機器20が配置され、他の一部が台間板部材44で覆われた状態となっている。つまり、短手側壁部11では、遊技機2、台間機器20、台間板部材44が遊技機島1の内部空間と外部を隔てるように配置されており、これらによって遊技機島1の内外が分断された状態(空間が埋められた状態)となっている。
なお、遊技機2は、図1で示されるように、遊技機島1の長手方向に沿って並列するようにそれぞれ配されている。つまり、遊技機島1の長手方向とは、複数の遊技機2の並列方向でもある。また、遊技機島1の短手方向は、水平面に平行であって遊技機2の並列方向と交わる方向である。
A plate member forming part of the outer wall surface of the game machine island 1 (the outer wall surface of the short side wall portion 11) is provided in the portion of the device placement portion 17 where the game machine 2 and the inter-machine device 20 are not arranged. (an inter-stand plate member 44 to be described later) is arranged. In other words, in the equipment arrangement portion 17 , the gaming machine 2 and the inter-stand equipment 20 are arranged in part, and the other part is covered with the inter-stand plate member 44 . That is, in the short side wall portion 11, the game machine 2, the inter-machine device 20, and the inter-machine plate member 44 are arranged so as to separate the internal space of the game machine island 1 from the outside. is in a divided state (a state in which the space is filled).

That is, the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 is also the parallel direction of the plurality of game machines 2 . The lateral direction of the gaming machine island 1 is parallel to the horizontal plane and intersects the parallel direction of the gaming machines 2 .

ここで、遊技機島1は、図2で示されるように、内部に複数の支柱部材30(荷重支持部材)を備えた構造となっている。さらに、上側ユニット体31(ユニット体)と、上側調整部材32(調整部材)と、下側ユニット体33(ユニット体)と、下側調整部材34(調整部材)を備えた構造となっている。 Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the game machine island 1 has a structure including a plurality of strut members 30 (load supporting members) inside. Further, the structure includes an upper unit body 31 (unit body), an upper adjusting member 32 (adjusting member), a lower unit body 33 (unit body), and a lower adjusting member 34 (adjusting member). .

詳しくは後述するが、複数の上側ユニット体31と複数の上側調整部材32によって上側連結構造体37(外壁保持部材、構造体)が形成されており、この上側連結構造体37が複数の支柱部材30の上側部分に対して取り付けられている。同様に、複数の下側ユニット体33と複数の下側調整部材34によって下側連結構造体38(外壁保持部材、構造体)が形成されており、この下側連結構造体38が複数の支柱部材30の下側部分に対して取り付けられている。その上で、これらに天板部材40、妻板部材41、幕板部材42、ランプ板形成部材43、台間板部材44、腰板部材45等の遊技機島1の外壁面を形成する部材(外壁材)が取り付けられ(図1参照、詳しくは後述する)、遊技機島1の壁部分が形成されている。 Although details will be described later, the upper unit bodies 31 and the upper adjustment members 32 form an upper connection structure 37 (outer wall holding member, structure), and the upper connection structure 37 is formed by a plurality of strut members. It is attached to the upper part of 30. Similarly, a plurality of lower unit bodies 33 and a plurality of lower adjusting members 34 form a lower connecting structure 38 (outer wall holding member, structure), and this lower connecting structure 38 is formed by a plurality of pillars. It is attached to the lower portion of member 30 . On top of that, the top plate member 40, the end plate member 41, the curtain plate member 42, the lamp plate forming member 43, the inter-stand plate member 44, the waist plate member 45, and other members forming the outer wall surface of the game machine island 1 (outer wall A material) is attached (see FIG. 1, which will be described later in detail), and the wall portion of the game machine island 1 is formed.

これに加え、本実施形態では、この領域よりも遊技機島1の長手方向(ベース部材140の並列方向)の端部側となる位置で並列した複数のベース部材140が、不定間隔で配置されている。つまり、中央側の領域よりも遊技機島1の長手方向端部よりに配されるベース部材140の列では、所定個所での2つのベース部材140の間隔長さと、他の個所での2つのベース部材140の間隔長さが異なっている。
つまり、本実施形態では、研磨機ユニット148を配置する領域から離れた位置で並列する複数のベース部材140の間隔長さが不定間隔となっている。
In this base member fixing step, a plurality of base members 140 are fixed so as to be arranged side by side at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1 to be formed.

ここで、上記したように、取付用長孔141は縦長の長孔となっており、立板部58bの貫通孔と重ね合わせる位置を可変させることで、支柱部材30の取り付け高さを変更できる。
すなわち、立板部58bの取り付け用の貫通孔と、取付板部140bの取付用長孔141が高さ調整手段として機能することで、支柱部材30の取り付け位置の高さ調整が可能となっている。
Specifically, the vertical plate portion 58b is brought into contact with the column contact surface 142 of the base member 140, and the mounting through hole of the vertical plate portion 58b and the long mounting hole 141 of the mounting plate portion 140b are overlapped. , through which the fastening elements are inserted.
Here, as described above, the mounting long hole 141 is a vertically long hole, and by varying the position at which it overlaps with the through hole of the upright plate portion 58b, the mounting height of the support member 30 can be changed. .
That is, the mounting through hole of the upright plate portion 58b and the long mounting hole 141 of the mounting plate portion 140b function as height adjustment means, thereby enabling the height adjustment of the mounting position of the support member 30. there is

なお、並列配置された複数のベース部材140のうち、並列方向における両端にそれぞれ位置する2つのベース部材140には、第一支柱部材50を固定し、他のベース部材140には、第二支柱部材51を固定する(図18参照)。
その結果、図18で示されるように、それぞれの支柱部材30が間隔を空けて並べられた状態となり、ベース部材140を介して遊技場の床面に固定された状態となる。すなわち、本実施形態の遊技機島1は、支柱部材30からの荷重を床面で受ける構造となっている。
Of the plurality of base members 140 arranged in parallel, two base members 140 located at both ends in the parallel direction are fixed to the first support members 50, and the other base members 140 are fixed to the second support members. The member 51 is fixed (see FIG. 18).

この柱状部材152の一部には、内部に空間が形成されており、この空間が揚送流路(図示しない)を配置するための流路収容空間となっている。すなわち、柱状部材152の一部であって空間と隣接する位置にある板部材が、揚送流路の水平方向への移動を規制する規制部として機能する。
なお、揚送流路は、遊技球が上方に向かって搬送するための流路であり、研磨揚送装置150と連結されている。この揚送流路は、柱状部材152に沿って延びる流路形成部材によって形成されている。
The columnar member 152 is fixed to the upper portion (upper plate member) of the main body outer shell portion 151 and is a columnar elongated member in the vertical direction.
A space is formed inside a part of the columnar member 152, and this space serves as a flow channel housing space for arranging a pumping flow channel (not shown). That is, the plate member which is a part of the columnar member 152 and which is adjacent to the space functions as a restricting portion that restricts the movement of the pumping channel in the horizontal direction.
The pumping channel is a channel for transporting game balls upward, and is connected to the polishing pumping device 150 . This pumping channel is formed by a channel forming member extending along the columnar member 152 .

続いて、島上タンク形成工程を実施する。
島上タンク形成工程は、柱状部材152の上端部分に島上タンク155(図2等参照)を固定し、島上タンク155に揚送流路の上端部分を連結させる工程である。すなわち、柱状部材152は、島上タンク155を支持するための柱として機能する部材である。この島上タンク155は、公知のそれと同様であり、揚送流路の内部を通過した遊技球が内部に導入され、導入された遊技球を一時的に貯留可能な箱状部材となっている。
Subsequently, an island tank forming step is carried out.
The island tank forming step is a step of fixing the island tank 155 (see FIG. 2, etc.) to the upper end portion of the columnar member 152 and connecting the island upper tank 155 to the upper end portion of the pumping channel. That is, the columnar member 152 is a member that functions as a column for supporting the island tank 155 . The island tank 155 is the same as a known one, and is a box-shaped member that can temporarily store the game balls that have passed through the pumping channel and that have been introduced into the inside.

続いて、下側保持部形成工程を実施する。
本実施形態の下側保持部形成工程は、図20で示されるように、下側連結構造体38を形成する下側構造体形成工程(構造体形成工程)と、下側連結構造体38を複数の支柱部材30に固定する下側構造体固定工程を実施する工程である。
ここで、下側構造体形成工程では、下側連結構造体38の長さを調整する調整工程が実施される。
この調整工程は、複数の下側ユニット体33を並べた並列方向の合計長さが下側連結構造体38の長手方向の長さと同一(又は略同一)とならない場合、下側連結構造体38の一部を下側調整部材34によって形成する工程である。
つまり、調整工程では、複数の下側ユニット体33を並べた並列方向の合計長さが下側連結構造体38の長手方向の長さと同一(又は略同一)となる場合には、調整部材(下側調整部材34)による長さ調整を実施しない。対して、これらの長さが略同一(又は略同一)とならない場合、下側連結構造体38の一部を下側調整部材34によって形成し、下側連結構造体38の長さ調整を実施する。
Subsequently, a lower holding portion forming step is performed.
As shown in FIG. 20, the lower holding portion forming step of the present embodiment includes a lower structure forming step (structure forming step) for forming the lower connecting structure 38, and a lower connecting structure 38. This is a step of performing a lower structure fixing step of fixing to a plurality of strut members 30 .
Here, in the lower structure forming step, an adjusting step of adjusting the length of the lower connecting structure 38 is performed.
This adjustment process is performed when the total length in the parallel direction in which the plurality of lower unit bodies 33 are arranged is not the same (or substantially the same) as the length of the lower connecting structure 38 in the longitudinal direction. is formed by the lower adjusting member 34 .
That is, in the adjusting step, when the total length in the parallel direction in which the plurality of lower unit bodies 33 are arranged is the same (or substantially the same) as the length in the longitudinal direction of the lower connecting structure 38, the adjusting member ( Length adjustment by the lower adjustment member 34) is not performed. On the other hand, when these lengths are not substantially the same (or substantially the same), a part of the lower connecting structure 38 is formed by the lower adjusting member 34, and the length of the lower connecting structure 38 is adjusted. do.

具体的に説明すると、本実施形態では、調整工程において使用する下側調整部材34を下側構造体形成工程に先立って事前に作製している。詳細には、配置位置決定工程の実施後であり、支持部材配置工程の実施前に下側調整部材34を作製している。言い換えると、遊技場での作業開始前に下側調整部材34を遊技場外で事前作製している。 Specifically, in this embodiment, the lower adjustment member 34 used in the adjustment process is manufactured in advance prior to the lower structure formation process. Specifically, the lower adjustment member 34 is manufactured after the placement position determination step is performed and before the support member placement step is performed. In other words, the lower adjustment member 34 is pre-fabricated outside the game hall before the start of work in the game hall.

つまり、配置位置決定工程の後、複数の下側ユニット体33を並べた並列方向の合計長さが下側連結構造体38の長手方向の長さと同一の長さとなるか否かを判別する判別工程を実施する。そして、判別工程の結果、この合計長さが下側連結構造体38の長さとならない場合、調整工程で使用する長さ調整のための部材(下側調整部材34)を事前作製する。すなわち、下側調整部材34の大きさ(遊技機島1の長手方向の長さ)は、配置位置決定工程に伴って決定される。 That is, after the arrangement position determination step, it is determined whether or not the total length in the parallel direction in which the plurality of lower unit bodies 33 are arranged is equal to the length in the longitudinal direction of the lower connecting structure 38. Carry out the process. If the total length does not match the length of the lower connecting structure 38 as a result of the determination process, a length adjusting member (lower adjusting member 34) used in the adjusting process is prepared in advance. That is, the size of the lower adjustment member 34 (the length in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1) is determined along with the placement position determination step.

つまり、下側構造体形成工程では、調整工程で長さ調整が実施されない場合、複数の下側ユニット体33を連結して下側連結構造体38を形成する。対して、調整工程で長さ調整が実施される場合、下側連結構造体38の一部を下側ユニット体33によって形成し、他部を他部材(本実施形態では下側調整部材34)によって形成する。 That is, in the lower structure forming step, the lower connecting structure 38 is formed by connecting the plurality of lower unit bodies 33 when the length adjustment is not performed in the adjusting step. On the other hand, when the length adjustment is performed in the adjustment process, part of the lower connection structure 38 is formed by the lower unit body 33, and the other part is formed by another member (the lower adjustment member 34 in this embodiment). formed by

複数の下側ユニット体33によって下側連結構造体38を形成する場合(長さ調整をしない場合)、下側構造体形成工程では、並列した際に隣り合う2つの下側ユニット体33を連結させていくことで、下側連結構造体38を形成する。この場合、それぞれの下側ユニット体33の遊技機島1の長手方向における長さのn個分(nは整数であり、下側連結構造体38に含まれる下側ユニット体33の数)が、下側連結構造体38の同方向の長さと同一又は略同一となる。 When the lower connecting structure 38 is formed by a plurality of lower unit bodies 33 (when the length is not adjusted), in the lower structure forming step, two adjacent lower unit bodies 33 are connected when they are arranged side by side. The lower connecting structure 38 is formed by allowing the lower connecting structure 38 to be formed. In this case, the length of each of the lower unit bodies 33 in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1 (n is an integer, the number of the lower unit bodies 33 included in the lower connecting structure 38) is , is the same or substantially the same as the length of the lower connecting structure 38 in the same direction.

対して、少なくとも一つの下側ユニット体33と、少なくとも一つの下側調整部材34によって下側連結構造体38を形成する場合は、下側ユニット体33、下側調整部材34から選択される隣り合う二部材を連結させていく。 On the other hand, when the lower connecting structure 38 is formed by at least one lower unit body 33 and at least one lower adjusting member 34, the adjacent unit selected from the lower unit body 33 and the lower adjusting member 34 Connect two parts that fit together.

詳細に説明すると、下側連結構造体38を形成する際、下側連結構造体38を構成する部材である下側ユニット体33、下側調整部材34のうちで隣接配置される二部材を連結する。すなわち、二部材の一方において、下側連結構造体38の長手方向における片側端部側に位置する上下連結部材121と、二部材の他方において、同長手方向における他方端部側に位置する上下連結部材121とを重ね合わせた状態とする。そして、これら2つの上下連結部材121を適宜な固定手段で一体に固定する。なお、本実施形態では、これらに締結要素を挿通することで、一体に固定している。
なお、このとき、2つの上下連結部材121は、互いに接触するように重ねてもよく、2つの上下連結部材121の間に僅かに間隔が空いた状態としてもよい。すなわち、下側連結構造体38の長手方向で重なった状態であればよい。
More specifically, when forming the lower connecting structure 38, two adjacently arranged members of the lower unit body 33 and the lower adjusting member 34, which are members constituting the lower connecting structure 38, are connected. do. That is, in one of the two members, the vertical connection member 121 located on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the lower connection structure 38, and in the other of the two members, the vertical connection located on the other end side in the same longitudinal direction The member 121 is placed on top of the other. Then, these two upper and lower connecting members 121 are integrally fixed by suitable fixing means. In addition, in this embodiment, they are integrally fixed by inserting a fastening element through them.
At this time, the two vertical connection members 121 may be overlapped so as to be in contact with each other, or the two vertical connection members 121 may be slightly spaced apart. That is, it is sufficient if the lower connecting structure 38 is overlapped in the longitudinal direction.

すなわち、下側連結構造体38は、下側ユニット体33、下側調整部材34から選択される部材が遊技機島1の長手方向に沿って並列配置される。
なお、本実施形態では、図21で示されるように、下側連結構造体38の長手方向における両端部分のそれぞれを下側調整部材34が形成しており、その間に位置する部分を下側ユニット体33によって形成している。
That is, in the lower connecting structure 38 , members selected from the lower unit body 33 and the lower adjusting member 34 are arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 .
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, the lower adjustment members 34 form both ends of the lower connecting structure 38 in the longitudinal direction, and the lower unit 34 is positioned between them. It is formed by body 33 .

下側構造体固定工程では、下側連結構造体38を複数の支柱部材30に固定する際、下側連結構造体38の長手方向における片側端部側に位置する一部分と、他方端部側に位置する他の一部分のそれぞれを別の第一支柱部材50に固定している。そして、下側連結構造体38の中央側の複数個所をそれぞれ別の第二支柱部材51に固定している。 In the lower structure fixing step, when fixing the lower connecting structure 38 to the plurality of support members 30, a part located on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the lower connecting structure 38 and a part located on the other end side in the longitudinal direction Each of the other portions located is fixed to another first strut member 50 . A plurality of locations on the center side of the lower connecting structure 38 are fixed to separate second strut members 51, respectively.

具体的には、下側連結構造体38の一部を第一支柱部材50に固定する際、下側連結構造体38における一の上下連結部材121の側面と、第一支柱部材50における固定板部76を重ね合わせた状態(遊技機島1の長手方向で重なった状態)とする(図2等参照)。その上で、これらに締結要素を挿通して一体に固定された状態とする。 Specifically, when fixing a part of the lower connection structure 38 to the first support member 50, the side surface of one upper and lower connection member 121 in the lower connection structure 38 and the fixing plate in the first support member 50 A state in which the portions 76 are overlapped (a state in which the gaming machine island 1 is overlapped in the longitudinal direction) is assumed (see FIG. 2, etc.). Then, a fastening element is inserted through them to make them integrally fixed.

対して、下側連結構造体38の一部を第二支柱部材51に固定するとき、図22で示されるように、下面形成部材116の下面の一部を2つの載置板部91cの上に載置した状態とする。さらに、図22(b)で示されるように、内側壁形成部材117の内側面(遊技機島1の短手方向における内側面)に添板形成部90aを内側から接触させた状態とする。 On the other hand, when a part of the lower connection structure 38 is fixed to the second support member 51, as shown in FIG. placed on the Further, as shown in FIG. 22B, the support plate forming portion 90a is brought into contact with the inner side surface of the inner wall forming member 117 (the inner side surface in the lateral direction of the game machine island 1) from the inside.

つまり、略L字状に連続する下面形成部材116の下面の一部と、内側壁形成部材117の内側面の一部のそれぞれに載置板部91cと添板形成部90aを添え当てた状態とする。詳細には、下面形成部材116の下面の一部であって、内側(遊技機島1の短手方向における内側)よりの部分を載置板部91cに載置した状態とする。そして、内側壁形成部材117の内側面の一部であって、下端側から上端側に至るまでの部分を添板形成部90aの外側面と接触した状態とする。 That is, the mounting plate portion 91c and the attachment plate forming portion 90a are attached to a portion of the lower surface of the lower surface forming member 116 and a portion of the inner surface of the inner wall forming member 117 that are continuous in a substantially L-shape. and More specifically, a portion of the lower surface of the lower surface forming member 116, which is closer to the inner side (the inner side in the short direction of the game machine island 1), is placed on the mounting plate portion 91c. A portion of the inner side surface of the inner wall forming member 117 from the lower end side to the upper end side is in contact with the outer side surface of the attachment plate forming portion 90a.

そして、遊技機島1の短手方向で重なる内側壁形成部材117と添板形成部90aに対し、同短手方向内側から締結要素を挿通して、これらを一体に固定する。すなわち、この締結要素の挿通方向は、水平方向であり、遊技機島1の短手方向と同方向である。 Then, the fastening element is inserted from the inner side in the width direction to the inner wall forming member 117 and the support plate forming portion 90a which overlap in the width direction of the game machine island 1 to fix them integrally. That is, the insertion direction of this fastening element is the horizontal direction, which is the same as the lateral direction of the game machine island 1 .

本実施形態では、膳板形成部材115と内側壁形成部材117が重なる部分と、下面形成部材116と内側壁形成部材117が重なる部分では、締結要素が内側壁形成部材117を貫通して、膳板形成部材115、下面形成部材116のそれぞれに挿入されている。
このとき、膳板形成部材115、下面形成部材116は、遊技機島1の短手方向における内側端面から締結要素が挿入されることなる。このような構造とすると、内側壁形成部材117を必要以上に厚くすることなく、締結要素を深く挿入できるので、強固な取り付けが可能となる。
In this embodiment, the fastening element penetrates the inner wall forming member 117 at the portion where the tray plate forming member 115 and the inner wall forming member 117 overlap and the portion where the lower surface forming member 116 and the inner wall forming member 117 overlap. It is inserted into each of the plate forming member 115 and the lower surface forming member 116 .
At this time, the fastening elements are inserted into the table plate forming member 115 and the lower surface forming member 116 from the inner end surfaces in the short direction of the game machine island 1 . With such a structure, the fastening element can be deeply inserted without making the inner wall forming member 117 thicker than necessary, so that strong attachment is possible.

さらに、上下方向で重なる下面形成部材116と載置板部91cに対し、下方側から締結要素を挿通して、これらを一体に固定する。すなわち、この締結要素の挿通方向は上下方向である。
以上のことから、下側連結構造体38が複数の支柱部材30に対して固定された状態となり、下側連結構造体38の垂直荷重を支柱部材30が支持した状態となる。
ここで、この下側連結構造体38は、遊技機島1の短手方向における一方端側と他方端側にそれぞれ取り付けられ、2つの下側連結構造体38が同短手方向で対向した状態となる(図2参照)。なお、もう一方の取り付け手順については、重複する説明を省略する。
このように、2つの下側連結構造体38が取り付けられると、遊技機島1における下部側壁部16(図1参照)の基礎部分が形成される。
Furthermore, the fastening element is inserted from below into the lower surface forming member 116 and the mounting plate portion 91c that overlap vertically to fix them integrally. That is, the insertion direction of this fastening element is the vertical direction.
As described above, the lower connecting structure 38 is fixed to the plurality of strut members 30 , and the vertical load of the lower connecting structure 38 is supported by the strut members 30 .
Here, the lower connecting structures 38 are respectively attached to one end side and the other end side in the short direction of the game machine island 1, and the two lower connecting structures 38 face each other in the same short direction. (See FIG. 2). As for the other mounting procedure, redundant description will be omitted.
Thus, when the two lower connecting structures 38 are attached, the base portion of the lower side wall portion 16 (see FIG. 1) of the game machine island 1 is formed.

ところで、上記のように下側連結構造体38を第二支柱部材51に固定するとき、下側連結構造体38を上方から載置板部91cに近接させて接触させることで、載置板部91cが下側連結構造体38を固定位置に配するための位置決め部材として機能する。
すなわち、載置板部91cは、下側連結構造体38の一部を載置する載置台部として機能するだけでなく、位置決め部材としても機能する。
そして、載置板部91cの上方であって添板形成部90aの外側に位置する空間が、下側連結構造体38(下側ユニット体33)の一部を配置するユニット配置空間となる。
By the way, when the lower connecting structure 38 is fixed to the second support member 51 as described above, the lower connecting structure 38 is brought into contact with the mounting plate portion 91c from above, so that the mounting plate portion 91c functions as a positioning member for placing the lower connecting structure 38 in a fixed position.
That is, the mounting plate portion 91c functions not only as a mounting base portion on which a part of the lower connecting structure 38 is mounted, but also as a positioning member.
A space located above the mounting plate portion 91c and outside the attachment plate forming portion 90a serves as a unit placement space in which a part of the lower connecting structure 38 (lower unit body 33) is placed.

ここで、図21で示されるように、下側連結構造体38を第二支柱部材51に固定する際、下側連結構造体38に属するそれぞれの下側ユニット体33は、第二支柱部材51と接触する接触位置をそれぞれ異なる位置とすることができる。
つまり、上記したように、下側ユニット体33は、内側(遊技機島1の短手方向における内側)の一部を第二支柱部材51に接触させ、第二支柱部材51に対して固定する。そして、この下側ユニット体33は、上記した接触位置から遊技機島1の長手方向でずれた様々な位置を、固定時に第二支柱部材51と接触させる接触位置とすることができる。また、このことは、下側調整部材34においても同様である。
Here, as shown in FIG. 21, when the lower connecting structure 38 is fixed to the second strut member 51, each lower unit body 33 belonging to the lower connecting structure 38 is attached to the second strut member 51. can be different positions.
In other words, as described above, the lower unit body 33 is fixed to the second support member 51 by bringing a part of the inner side (the inner side in the lateral direction of the game machine island 1) into contact with the second support member 51. . Further, the lower unit body 33 can set various positions shifted in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1 from the contact position described above as the contact position where the second strut member 51 contacts when fixed. Moreover, this also applies to the lower adjustment member 34 .

具体的に説明すると、上記したように、下側連結構造体38は、下面形成部材116の下面の一部分を載置板部91cに載置し、これらを締結要素で一体に固定する。このとき、下面形成部材116の下面は、内側部分(遊技機島1の短手方向で内側部分)の全域のうち、いずれの部分でも載置板部91cに載置させる(接触させる)部分とすることができる。
同様に、内側壁形成部材117の内側面の一部を連結添板部90に接触させ、これらを締結要素で一体に固定するが、内側壁形成部材117の内側面のいずれの部分でも連結添板部90を接触させる部分とすることができる。
Specifically, as described above, the lower connecting structure 38 places a portion of the lower surface of the lower surface forming member 116 on the mounting plate portion 91c and fixes them integrally with fastening elements. At this time, the lower surface of the lower surface forming member 116 is placed (contacted) with the placing plate portion 91c at any portion of the entire inner portion (the inner portion in the lateral direction of the game machine island 1). can do.
Similarly, a portion of the inner side surface of the inner wall forming member 117 is brought into contact with the connecting attachment plate portion 90, and these are integrally fixed with the fastening element, but any portion of the inner side surface of the inner wall forming member 117 is connected with the connecting attachment. It can be a portion with which the plate portion 90 is brought into contact.

つまり、下面形成部材116の下面のうち、上下方向で上下連結部材121と重なる重なり部分(重畳領域)と、上下連結部材121と重ならない非重なり部分(非重畳領域)のどちらでも第二支柱部材51との接触位置とすることができる。
同様に、内側壁形成部材117の内側面のうち、遊技機島1の短手方向で上下連結部材121と重なる重なり部分(重畳領域)と、上下連結部材121と重ならない非重なり部分(非重畳領域)のどちらでも第二支柱部材51との接触位置とすることができる。
本実施形態では、下面形成部材116と内側壁形成部材117の重なり部分の一部を一の第二支柱部材51との接触位置としており、これらの非重なり部分の一部を他の第二支柱部材51との接触位置としている。
That is, of the lower surface of the lower surface forming member 116, both the overlapping portion (overlapping region) that overlaps the upper and lower connecting members 121 in the vertical direction and the non-overlapping portion (non-overlapping region) that does not overlap with the upper and lower connecting members 121 are the second strut members. 51 can be a contact position.
Similarly, of the inner surface of the inner wall forming member 117, an overlapping portion (overlapping region) that overlaps the upper and lower connecting members 121 in the lateral direction of the game machine island 1 and a non-overlapping portion (non-overlapping region) that does not overlap with the upper and lower connecting members 121 area) can be the contact position with the second strut member 51 .
In this embodiment, a part of the overlapping portion of the lower surface forming member 116 and the inner wall forming member 117 is the contact position with one second strut member 51, and a part of these non-overlapping portions is the other second strut. It is set as a contact position with the member 51 .

このため、下側連結構造体38の全体長さが施工中に突然変更され、下側調整部材34を短く(又は長く)しても、下側連結構造体38を複数の支柱部材30に取り付けできる。また、下側連結構造体38に属する下側ユニット体33、下側調整部材34の並び順が変更された場合においても、下側連結構造体38を複数の支柱部材30に取り付けできる。すなわち、下側連結構造体38の自由度の高い組み立て及び取り付けが可能となる。 Therefore, even if the overall length of the lower connecting structure 38 is suddenly changed during construction and the lower adjusting member 34 is shortened (or lengthened), the lower connecting structure 38 can be attached to the plurality of strut members 30. can. Further, even when the arrangement order of the lower unit bodies 33 and the lower adjusting members 34 belonging to the lower connecting structure 38 is changed, the lower connecting structure 38 can be attached to the plurality of support members 30 . That is, it is possible to assemble and attach the lower connecting structure 38 with a high degree of freedom.

ここで、下側連結構造体38は、上記したように、下側ユニット体33と下側調整部材34を連結させて形成されている。このため、各部において、異なる2つの下側ユニット体33や、下側ユニット体33と下側調整部材34とが隣接配置された状態となる。つまり、下側ユニット体33、下側調整部材34からそれぞれ選択される一部材及び他の一部材が隣接配置された状態となる。
したがって、図21で示されるように、下側連結構造体38には、これら一部材及び他の一部材の境界部分である部材境界部160(境界部)が複数形成される。詳細には、複数の部材境界部160は、下側連結構造体38の長手方向における中途部分にそれぞれ形成されており、同長手方向でそれぞれ間隔を開けて並列している。
Here, the lower connecting structure 38 is formed by connecting the lower unit body 33 and the lower adjusting member 34 as described above. Therefore, in each part, two different lower unit bodies 33 and the lower unit body 33 and the lower adjusting member 34 are arranged adjacent to each other. In other words, one member selected from the lower unit body 33 and the lower adjusting member 34 and another member are arranged adjacent to each other.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 21, the lower connecting structure 38 is formed with a plurality of member boundary portions 160 (boundary portions) that are boundary portions between these one member and another member. Specifically, the plurality of member boundary portions 160 are each formed in the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the lower connecting structure 38 and are arranged side by side in the same longitudinal direction at intervals.

すなわち、部材境界部160は、隣接する二部材の端部同士が接触する部分、又は、僅かに間隔を空けて対向する部分である。すなわち、二部材の端部同士が面接触している部分、又は、一方の部材の端部から他方の部材の端部までの間となる部分である。
なお、ここでいう「二部材の端部同士が面接触している部分」とは、具体的には、二部材のそれぞれに属する各部材(膳板形成部材115、下面形成部材116、内側壁形成部材117、下外壁形成部材118、上外壁形成部材119、又は上下連結部材121)から選択される少なくとも一つの部材の端部同士が面接触している部分である。
That is, the member boundary portion 160 is a portion where the ends of two adjacent members contact each other, or a portion where they face each other with a slight gap. That is, it is the portion where the ends of the two members are in surface contact, or the portion between the end of one member and the end of the other member.
In addition, the “portion where the ends of the two members are in surface contact” here specifically refers to each member belonging to each of the two members (table plate forming member 115, lower surface forming member 116, inner wall It is a portion where the ends of at least one member selected from the forming member 117, the lower wall forming member 118, the upper wall forming member 119, or the upper and lower connecting members 121) are in surface contact with each other.

そして、この部材境界部160は、下側連結構造体38の長手方向(遊技機島1の長手方向)において、いずれも支柱部材30から離れた位置にある。言い換えると、遊技機島1の短手方向を視線方向とした平面視において、支柱部材30と重ならない位置に形成される。 All of the member boundary portions 160 are located away from the support members 30 in the longitudinal direction of the lower connecting structure 38 (longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1). In other words, it is formed at a position that does not overlap with the supporting member 30 in a plan view with the lateral direction of the gaming machine island 1 as the viewing direction.

次に、下側内部部材取付工程を実施する。
下側内部部材取付工程は、遊技機島1の下側内部に配する部材を取り付ける工程であり、具体的には、所謂アウトレールや貯留タンクを取り付ける工程である。
なお、アウトレールは、遊技機2から排出された遊技球を研磨揚送装置150に導入する遊技球回収用の流路を形成する部材であり、遊技球の流れ方向における下流端側の部分が研磨揚送装置150に連結される部材である。すなわち、遊技機島1の長手方向に沿って延びる流路形成部材となっている。
また、貯留タンクは、遊技球を一時的に貯留するための部材であり、アウトレールの上流端側と連結する位置や、アウトレールの中途部に配設される部材である。
Next, a lower internal member mounting step is carried out.
The lower internal member mounting step is a step of mounting members to be arranged inside the lower side of the game machine island 1, specifically, a step of mounting so-called outrails and storage tanks.
The outrail is a member that forms a path for recovering game balls that introduce game balls discharged from the game machine 2 to the polishing and lifting device 150, and the part on the downstream end side in the flow direction of the game balls is It is a member connected to the polishing and lifting device 150 . That is, it serves as a passage forming member extending along the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 .
Further, the storage tank is a member for temporarily storing game balls, and is a member disposed at a position connected to the upstream end side of the outrail or at an intermediate portion of the outrail.

続いて、上側保持部形成工程を実施する。
本実施形態の上側保持部形成工程は、図23で示されるように、上側連結構造体37を形成する上側構造体形成工程(構造体形成工程)と、上側連結構造体37を複数の支柱部材30に固定する上側構造体固定工程を実施する工程である。
ここで、上側構造体形成工程でもまた、上側連結構造体37の長さを調整する調整工程が実施される。
すなわち、複数の上側ユニット体31を並べた並列方向の合計長さが上側連結構造体37の長手方向の長さと同一(又は略同一)とならない場合、上側連結構造体37の一部を上側調整部材32によって形成する工程である。
つまり、この調整工程においても、複数の上側ユニット体31を並べた並列方向の合計長さが上側連結構造体37の長手方向の長さと同一(又は略同一)となる場合、調整部材(上側調整部材32)による長さ調整を実施しない。対して、これらの長さが略同一(又は略同一)とならない場合、上側連結構造体37の一部を上側調整部材32によって形成し、上側連結構造体37の長さ調整を実施する。
Subsequently, an upper holding portion forming step is performed.
As shown in FIG. 23, the upper holding portion forming step of the present embodiment includes an upper structure forming step (structure forming step) for forming the upper connecting structure 37, and an upper connecting structure 37 formed by a plurality of strut members. 30 is a step of performing an upper structure fixing step.
Here, the adjustment process of adjusting the length of the upper connection structure 37 is also performed in the upper structure formation process.
That is, if the total length in the parallel direction in which the plurality of upper unit bodies 31 are arranged is not the same (or substantially the same) as the length in the longitudinal direction of the upper connecting structure 37, part of the upper connecting structure 37 is adjusted upward. This is a step of forming by the member 32 .
That is, even in this adjustment step, when the total length in the parallel direction in which the plurality of upper unit bodies 31 are arranged is the same (or substantially the same) as the length in the longitudinal direction of the upper connection structure 37, the adjustment member (upper adjustment No length adjustment is performed by member 32). On the other hand, when these lengths are not substantially the same (or substantially the same), a part of the upper connecting structure 37 is formed by the upper adjusting member 32, and the length of the upper connecting structure 37 is adjusted.

ここで、本実施形態では、この調整工程において使用する上側調整部材32もまた、上側構造体形成工程に先立って事前に作製している。詳細には、上記と同様に、配置位置決定工程の実施後であり、支持部材配置工程の実施前に上側調整部材32を作製している。言い換えると、遊技場での作業開始前に上側調整部材32を遊技場外で事前作製している。 Here, in this embodiment, the upper adjusting member 32 used in this adjusting process is also manufactured in advance prior to the upper structure forming process. Specifically, the upper adjustment member 32 is manufactured after the placement position determination step and before the support member placement step, as in the above. In other words, the upper adjusting member 32 is pre-fabricated outside the game hall before the start of work in the game hall.

つまり、配置位置決定工程の後、複数の上側ユニット体31を並べた並列方向の合計長さが上側連結構造体37の長手方向の長さと同一の長さとなるか否かを判別する判別工程を実施する。そして、判別工程の結果、この合計長さが上側連結構造体37の長さとならない場合、調整工程で使用する長さ調整のための部材(上側調整部材32)を事前作製する。すなわち、上側調整部材32の大きさ(遊技機島1の長手方向の長さ)は、配置位置決定工程に伴って決定される。 That is, after the arrangement position determination step, a determination step of determining whether or not the total length in the parallel direction in which the plurality of upper unit bodies 31 are arranged is equal to the length in the longitudinal direction of the upper connection structure 37 is performed. implement. As a result of the determination process, if the total length does not match the length of the upper connecting structure 37, a member (upper adjustment member 32) for length adjustment used in the adjustment process is prepared in advance. That is, the size of the upper adjusting member 32 (the length of the game machine island 1 in the longitudinal direction) is determined in accordance with the placement position determining step.

つまり、上側構造体形成工程もまた、調整工程で長さ調整が実施されない場合、複数の上側ユニット体31を連結して上側連結構造体37を形成する。対して、調整工程で長さ調整が実施される場合、上側連結構造体37の一部を上側ユニット体31によって形成し、他部を他部材(本実施形態では上側調整部材32)によって形成する。 That is, in the upper structure forming step, the upper connecting structure 37 is also formed by connecting the plurality of upper unit bodies 31 when length adjustment is not performed in the adjusting step. On the other hand, when the length is adjusted in the adjustment process, part of the upper connecting structure 37 is formed by the upper unit body 31, and the other part is formed by another member (the upper adjusting member 32 in this embodiment). .

複数の上側ユニット体31によって上側連結構造体37を形成する場合(長さ調整をしない場合)、上側構造体形成工程では、並列した際に隣り合う2つの上側ユニット体31を連結させていくことで、上側連結構造体37を形成する。この場合、それぞれの上側ユニット体31の遊技機島1の長手方向における長さのn個分(nは整数であり、上側連結構造体37に含まれる上側ユニット体31の数)が、上側連結構造体37の同方向の長さと同一又は略同一となる。 When the upper connecting structure 37 is formed by a plurality of upper unit bodies 31 (when the length is not adjusted), in the upper structure forming process, the two adjacent upper unit bodies 31 are connected when they are arranged side by side. to form the upper connecting structure 37 . In this case, n lengths of the upper unit bodies 31 in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1 (n is an integer, the number of the upper unit bodies 31 included in the upper connecting structure 37) are connected to the upper side. It is the same or substantially the same as the length of the structure 37 in the same direction.

対して、少なくとも一つの上側ユニット体31と、少なくとも一つの上側調整部材32によって上側連結構造体37を形成する場合(長さ調整をする場合)は、上側ユニット体31、上側調整部材32から選択される隣り合う二部材を連結させていく。 On the other hand, when the upper connecting structure 37 is formed by at least one upper unit body 31 and at least one upper adjusting member 32 (when adjusting the length), the upper unit body 31 and the upper adjusting member 32 are selected. The two adjacent members are connected.

詳細に説明すると、上側連結構造体37を形成する際には、上記した下側保持部形成工程と同様に、上側連結構造体37を構成する部材である上側ユニット体31、上側調整部材32のうちで隣接配置される二部材を連結する。すなわち、二部材の一方において、上側連結構造体37の長手方向における片側端部側に位置する上下連結部材98と、二部材の他方において、同長手方向における他方端部側に位置する上下連結部材98とを重ね合わせた状態とする。つまり、これら2つの上下連結部材98が、上側連結構造体37の長手方向で重なった状態とする。そして、これら2つの上下連結部材98を適宜な固定手段で一体に固定する。なお、本実施形態では、これらに締結要素を挿通することで、一体に固定している。 More specifically, when forming the upper connecting structure 37, the upper unit body 31 and the upper adjusting member 32, which are members constituting the upper connecting structure 37, are formed in the same manner as in the lower holding portion forming process described above. It connects two members that are arranged adjacent to each other. That is, one of the two members, a vertical connecting member 98 positioned on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the upper connecting structure 37, and the other of the two members, a vertical connecting member positioned on the other end side in the same longitudinal direction. 98 are superimposed on each other. In other words, these two upper and lower connecting members 98 overlap each other in the longitudinal direction of the upper connecting structure 37 . Then, these two upper and lower connecting members 98 are integrally fixed by suitable fixing means. In addition, in this embodiment, they are integrally fixed by inserting a fastening element through them.

すなわち、上側連結構造体37もまた、上側ユニット体31、上側調整部材32から選択される部材を遊技機島1の長手方向に沿って並列配置し、隣接配置される部材同士を一体に連結させて形成される部材である。
なお、本実施形態では、図24で示されるように、上側連結構造体37の長手方向における両端部分のそれぞれを上側調整部材32が形成しており、その間に位置する部分を上側ユニット体31によって形成している。
That is, the upper connecting structure 37 also arranges members selected from the upper unit body 31 and the upper adjusting member 32 in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1, and integrally connects the adjacently arranged members. It is a member formed by
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, the upper adjusting members 32 form both ends of the upper connecting structure 37 in the longitudinal direction, and the upper unit body 31 forms the portion between them. forming.

上側構造体固定工程でもまた、上側連結構造体37を複数の支柱部材30に固定する際、上側連結構造体37の長手方向における両端部分のそれぞれに位置する一部分と他の一部分を、それぞれ別の第一支柱部材50に固定する。その上で、中央側の複数個所をそれぞれ別の第二支柱部材51に固定している。 Also in the upper structure fixing step, when fixing the upper connecting structure 37 to the plurality of strut members 30, a part located at each of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the upper connecting structure 37 and another part are separated from each other. It is fixed to the first strut member 50 . In addition, a plurality of locations on the central side are fixed to separate second strut members 51, respectively.

具体的には、上側連結構造体37の一部を第一支柱部材50に固定するとき、上側連結構造体37における一の上下連結部材98の側面と、第一支柱部材50における固定板部69を重ね合わせた状態とする(図2等参照)。その上で、これらに締結要素を挿通して一体に固定された状態とする。つまり、これら2つの立板状部分を遊技機島1の長手方向(上側連結構造体37の長手方向)で重ね合わせ、これらに締結要素を挿通することで、上側連結構造体37の長手方向における端部側の一部分が第一支柱部材50に固定される。 Specifically, when a part of the upper connecting structure 37 is fixed to the first strut member 50, the side surface of one upper and lower connecting member 98 in the upper connecting structure 37 and the fixing plate portion 69 in the first strut member 50 are superimposed (see FIG. 2, etc.). Then, a fastening element is inserted through them to make them integrally fixed. In other words, by overlapping these two vertical plate-shaped portions in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 (longitudinal direction of the upper connecting structure 37) and inserting the fastening elements through them, A part on the end side is fixed to the first strut member 50 .

対して、上側連結構造体37の一部を第二支柱部材51に固定するとき、図25で示されるように、上側連結構造体37の上側部分を連結体部85及び第一固定片部86に対して固定する。そして、下側部分を連結体部85及び第二固定片部87に対して固定する。 On the other hand, when a part of the upper connecting structure 37 is fixed to the second strut member 51, the upper part of the upper connecting structure 37 is connected to the connecting body portion 85 and the first fixing piece portion 86 as shown in FIG. fixed against Then, the lower portion is fixed to the connecting body portion 85 and the second fixing piece portion 87 .

具体的には、第二支柱部材51は、図25で示されるように、本体板部85aの外側面と、連結板部86bにおける立板状部分の内側面との間に下方に窪んだ係合凹部165が形成されている。そして、補助補強板部材99の下端側部分をこの係合凹部165に挿入し、これらを係合させた状態とする。つまり、補助補強板部材99のうちで上面形成部材95の下面よりも下方側へ突出する突出部分と、係合凹部165とが対となる係合部として機能することで、上側連結構造体37の上側部分が第二支柱部材51の一部と係合した状態となる。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 25, the second strut member 51 is a engagement recessed downward between the outer surface of the main body plate portion 85a and the inner surface of the upright portion of the connecting plate portion 86b. A joint recess 165 is formed. Then, the lower end side portion of the auxiliary reinforcing plate member 99 is inserted into the engaging recess 165 so that they are engaged with each other. In other words, the protruding portion of the auxiliary reinforcing plate member 99 that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the upper surface forming member 95 and the engaging recess 165 function as an engaging portion that makes a pair, so that the upper connecting structure 37 is engaged with a part of the second strut member 51 .

このとき、平板状部86cの上面と上面形成部材95の下面とが接触した状態となる。さらに、補助補強板部材99の下端部分における外側面及び内側面が、係合凹部165の離間対向する2面(連結板部86bの立板状部分における内側面と、補助補強板部材99の下端側部分における外側面)のそれぞれと接触した状態となる。 At this time, the upper surface of the flat plate portion 86c and the lower surface of the upper surface forming member 95 are brought into contact with each other. Furthermore, the outer side surface and the inner side surface of the lower end portion of the auxiliary reinforcing plate member 99 are formed by the two surfaces of the engaging recess 165 facing each other (the inner side surface of the upright portion of the connecting plate portion 86b and the lower end of the auxiliary reinforcing plate member 99). outer surface of the side portion).

さらに、下面形成部材96の内側端面と、下側取付片部85cの立板状部分における外側面とを接触させると共に、下面形成部材96の上面と、第二固定片部87の平板状部87bの下面を接触させた状態とする。 Furthermore, the inner end surface of the lower surface forming member 96 and the outer surface of the upright portion of the lower mounting piece portion 85c are brought into contact with each other, and the upper surface of the lower surface forming member 96 and the flat plate portion 87b of the second fixing piece portion 87 are brought into contact with each other. are in contact with each other.

そして、本体板部85a、補助補強板部材99、上面形成部材95が水平方向で重なる重なり部分に対して、遊技機島1の短手方向内側から締結要素を挿通する。また、下面形成部材96と、下側取付片部85cの立板状部分とが水平方向で重なる重なり部分に対しても、遊技機島1の短手方向内側から締結要素を挿通する。すなわち、これらの締結要素の挿通方向は、水平方向であり、遊技機島1の短手方向である。 Then, a fastening element is inserted from the inner side in the width direction of the game machine island 1 to the overlapping portion where the main body plate portion 85a, the auxiliary reinforcing plate member 99, and the upper surface forming member 95 overlap in the horizontal direction. In addition, the fastening element is inserted from the inner side of the game machine island 1 in the width direction to the overlapping portion where the lower surface forming member 96 and the upright portion of the lower mounting piece portion 85c overlap in the horizontal direction. That is, the insertion direction of these fastening elements is the horizontal direction, which is the lateral direction of the gaming machine island 1 .

本実施形態では、補助補強板部材99を貫通した締結要素の先端部分が、上面形成部材95に挿入され、下側取付片部85cを貫通した締結要素の先端部分が、下面形成部材96に挿入される。このとき、上面形成部材95、下面形成部材96は、遊技機島1の短手方向における内側端面から締結要素が挿入されることになる。
このような構造とすると、締結要素を深く挿入できるので、強固な取り付けが可能となる。また、下側ユニット体33の内側壁形成部材117(図22参照)のような背板部材を設けることなく、締結要素を水平方向に挿入できるので部材数を削減する上で、好ましい。
In this embodiment, the tip portion of the fastening element penetrating the auxiliary reinforcing plate member 99 is inserted into the upper surface forming member 95, and the tip portion of the fastening element penetrating the lower mounting piece portion 85c is inserted into the lower surface forming member 96. be done. At this time, the fastening element is inserted into the upper surface forming member 95 and the lower surface forming member 96 from the inner end surface of the gaming machine island 1 in the short direction.
With such a structure, the fastening element can be inserted deeply, so that a strong attachment is possible. Moreover, since the fastening element can be inserted horizontally without providing a back plate member such as the inner wall forming member 117 (see FIG. 22) of the lower unit body 33, it is preferable for reducing the number of members.

さらに、上下方向で重なる上面形成部材95と平板状部86c、下面形成部材96と平板状部87bのそれぞれの重なり部分に対し、下方側から締結要素を挿通する。すなわち、挿通方向が上下方向となるように、締結要素を挿通する。
以上のことから、上側連結構造体37が複数の支柱部材30に対して固定された状態となり、上側連結構造体37の垂直荷重を支柱部材30が支持した状態となる。
Furthermore, the fastening elements are inserted from below into the overlapping portions of the upper surface forming member 95 and the flat plate portion 86c, and the lower surface forming member 96 and the flat plate portion 87b, which overlap in the vertical direction. That is, the fastening element is inserted so that the insertion direction is the vertical direction.
As described above, the upper connecting structure 37 is fixed to the plurality of strut members 30 , and the vertical load of the upper connecting structure 37 is supported by the strut members 30 .

ここで、上側連結構造体37が複数の支柱部材30に固定された状態では、上側連結構造体37の上側部分と下側部分の間(上面形成部材95と下面形成部材96の間)に、第一固定片部86の一部と、第二固定片部87の一部がそれぞれ位置する。
そして、上側連結構造体37の上側部分と下側部分の間に形成される空間の上下方向の長さと、第一固定片部86の上面から第二固定片部87の下面までの距離(最短長さ)が略同一の長さとなっている。
なお、ここでいう「略同一の長さ」とは、数パーセントの誤差を含むものとし、以下の記載においても同様とする。
Here, when the upper connecting structure 37 is fixed to the plurality of support members 30, between the upper portion and the lower portion of the upper connecting structure 37 (between the upper surface forming member 95 and the lower surface forming member 96), A portion of the first fixing piece portion 86 and a portion of the second fixing piece portion 87 are positioned respectively.
The vertical length of the space formed between the upper portion and the lower portion of the upper connecting structure 37 and the distance from the upper surface of the first fixing piece portion 86 to the lower surface of the second fixing piece portion 87 (shortest length) are approximately the same length.
It should be noted that the term "substantially the same length" as used herein includes an error of several percent, and the same applies to the following description.

この上側連結構造体37もまた、遊技機島1の短手方向における一方端側と他方端側にそれぞれ取り付けられ、2つの上側連結構造体37が同短手方向で対向した状態となる(図2参照)。なお、もう一方の取り付け手順については、重複する説明を省略する。
このように、2つの上側連結構造体37が取り付けられると、遊技機島1における上部側壁部15(図1参照)の基礎部分が形成される。
This upper connection structure 37 is also attached to one end side and the other end side in the short direction of the game machine island 1, respectively, and the two upper connection structures 37 face each other in the same short direction (Fig. 2). As for the other mounting procedure, redundant description will be omitted.
Thus, when the two upper connecting structures 37 are attached, the base portion of the upper side wall portion 15 (see FIG. 1) of the gaming machine island 1 is formed.

ここで、上側連結構造体37もまた、図24で示されるように、遊技機島1の長手方向でずれた様々な位置を固定時における第二支柱部材51との接触位置とすることができる。つまり、上側ユニット体31、上側調整部材32もまた、遊技機島1の長手方向の位置が異なる様々な部分を、固定時における第二支柱部材51との接触位置とすることができる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 24, the upper connection structure 37 can also have various positions shifted in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 as contact positions with the second support member 51 when fixed. . In other words, the upper unit body 31 and the upper adjusting member 32 can also have various portions at different positions in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 as contact positions with the second strut member 51 when fixed.

具体的に説明すると、上側連結構造体37の上面形成部材95、下面形成部材96は、上下方向で上下連結部材98と重なる重なり部分(重畳領域)と、上下連結部材98と重ならない非重なり部分(非重畳領域)を有する。
そして、上面形成部材95の非重なり部分のいずれの部分であっても、第一固定片部86との接触部分とすることができる。
同様に、下面形成部材96の非重なり部分のいずれの部分であっても、第二固定片部87と接触部分とすることができる。
これらのことから、上側調整部材32は、遊技機島1の長手方向の位置が異なる様々な部分を第二支柱部材51との接触位置とすることができる。
Specifically, the upper surface forming member 95 and the lower surface forming member 96 of the upper connecting structure 37 have an overlapping portion (overlapping region) that overlaps the upper and lower connecting members 98 in the vertical direction and a non-overlapping portion that does not overlap with the upper and lower connecting members 98. (non-overlapping region).
Any portion of the non-overlapping portion of the upper surface forming member 95 can be a contact portion with the first fixing piece portion 86 .
Similarly, any portion of the non-overlapping portion of the lower surface forming member 96 can be the contact portion with the second fixing piece portion 87 .
For these reasons, the upper adjusting member 32 can make contact with the second strut member 51 at various positions in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1 .

本実施形態では、非重なり部分の一部を第二支柱部材51との接触位置としており、重なり部分が第二支柱部材51との接触位置とならない構造とした。
しかしながら、これに限らず、上下連結部材98の上端側及び下端側それぞれの内側部分(遊技機島1の内側部分)に欠落部を形成し、この欠落部に第一固定片部86、下面形成部材96を配置可能な構造としてもよい。この構造によると、上面形成部材95、下面形成部材96の内側部分は、長手方向における全域のいずれの部分でも第二支柱部材51との接触位置とすることが可能となる。
In the present embodiment, a portion of the non-overlapping portion is the contact position with the second support member 51, and the overlapping portion is structured so as not to be the contact position with the second support member 51. FIG.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a missing portion is formed in each inner portion (inner portion of the game machine island 1) of the upper end side and the lower end side of the upper and lower connecting members 98, and the first fixed piece portion 86 is formed in the missing portion. A structure in which the member 96 can be arranged may be employed. According to this structure, the inner portions of the upper surface forming member 95 and the lower surface forming member 96 can be placed in contact with the second strut member 51 at any portion in the longitudinal direction.

したがって、上側連結構造体37もまた、上側連結構造体37の全体長さや、上側連結構造体37に属する上側ユニット体31、上側調整部材32の並び順が変わっても複数の支柱部材30への取り付けが可能である。すなわち、上側連結構造体37もまた、自由度の高い組み立て及び取り付けが可能となる Therefore, even if the overall length of the upper connecting structure 37 and the arrangement order of the upper unit bodies 31 and the upper adjusting members 32 belonging to the upper connecting structure 37 are changed, the upper connecting structure 37 can also be connected to the plurality of strut members 30. Installation is possible. That is, the upper connecting structure 37 can also be assembled and attached with a high degree of freedom.

ここで、上側連結構造体37は、上記したように、上側ユニット体31と上側調整部材32を連結させて形成されている。つまり、上側連結構造体37においても、上記した下側連結構造体38と同様に、各部において、上側ユニット体31、上側調整部材32からそれぞれ選択される一部材及び他の一部材が隣接配置される。そして、図24で示されるように、これら一部材及び他の一部材の境界部分である部材境界部163(境界部)が複数形成される。詳細には、複数の部材境界部163は、上側連結構造体37の長手方向における中途部分にそれぞれ形成されており、同長手方向でそれぞれ間隔を開けて並列している。 Here, the upper connecting structure 37 is formed by connecting the upper unit body 31 and the upper adjusting member 32 as described above. That is, in the upper connecting structure 37, as in the lower connecting structure 38, one member selected from the upper unit body 31 and the upper adjusting member 32 and another member are arranged adjacent to each other. be. Then, as shown in FIG. 24, a plurality of member boundary portions 163 (boundary portions) are formed as boundary portions between these one member and another member. Specifically, the plurality of member boundary portions 163 are formed in the middle portion of the upper connecting structure 37 in the longitudinal direction, and are arranged side by side in the same longitudinal direction at intervals.

この部材境界部163もまた、上記した部材境界部160と同じく、隣接する二部材の端部同士が接触する部分、又は、僅かに間隔を空けて対向する部分である。 As with the member boundary portion 160, this member boundary portion 163 is also a portion where the ends of two adjacent members contact each other or face each other with a slight gap.

そして、上側連結構造体37の部材境界部163もまた、上側連結構造体37の長手方向(遊技機島1の長手方向)において、いずれも支柱部材30から離れた位置にある。言い換えると、遊技機島1の短手方向を視線方向とした平面視において、支柱部材30と重ならない位置に形成される。 The member boundary portions 163 of the upper connecting structure 37 are also located away from the support members 30 in the longitudinal direction of the upper connecting structure 37 (longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1). In other words, it is formed at a position that does not overlap with the supporting member 30 in a plan view with the lateral direction of the gaming machine island 1 as the viewing direction.

なお、本実施形態では、図24で示されるように、上側連結構造体37に形成される複数の部材境界部163のいずれもが、下側連結構造体38に形成される複数の部材境界部160それぞれと上下方向で重ならない位置に形成される。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, all of the plurality of member boundary portions 163 formed in the upper connecting structure 37 are aligned with the plurality of member boundary portions formed in the lower connecting structure 38. 160 are formed at positions not overlapping each other in the vertical direction.

続いて、上側内部部材取付工程を実施する。この上側内部部材取付工程は、遊技機島1の上側内部に配する部材を取り付ける工程である。
具体的には、所謂補給樋や補給シュート、さらには、遊技球を遊技機島1の下側内部まで搬送する搬送用流路を形成する部材(以下、連結流路形成部材とも称す)等のうち、必要な一以上の部材を取り付ける工程となっている。
なお、補給樋とは、島上タンク155から排出された遊技球を遊技機2に供給する遊技球供給用の流路を形成する部材である。すなわち、遊技機島1の長手方向に沿って延びる流路形成部材となっている。
また、補給シュートは、補給樋と遊技機2の間に配設される部材であり、補給樋上の遊技媒体を遊技機側に誘導するための分岐部分を形成する部材である。
また、連結流路形成部材は、例えば、補給樋に滞留した球を強制的に下方へ排出するための流路を形成する所謂球抜きホースと称される部材でもよい。また、他の例としては島上タンク155から補給樋に供給されなかった遊技球や、補給樋から遊技機2に供給されなかった遊技球を下方側へ排出する流路を形成する部材(所謂オーバーフローレール及びオーバーフローホース)がある。
Then, an upper internal member attachment process is implemented. This upper internal member mounting step is a step of mounting members to be arranged inside the upper side of the game machine island 1 .
Specifically, so-called replenishment troughs and replenishment chutes, as well as members (hereinafter also referred to as connection channel forming members) that form a transport channel for transporting game balls to the inside of the lower side of the game machine island 1, etc. Among them, it is a step of attaching one or more necessary members.
The replenishment gutter is a member that forms a game ball supply flow path for supplying game balls discharged from the island tank 155 to the game machine 2 . That is, it serves as a passage forming member extending along the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 .
The replenishment chute is a member disposed between the replenishment trough and the game machine 2, and is a member that forms a branching portion for guiding the game media on the replenishment trough to the game machine side.

In addition, the first engaging portion 181 of the first rail member 175 and the second engaging portion 182 of the second rail member 176 are arranged at positions apart from each other in the vertical direction, and are opposed to each other.

腰板部材45は、上側部分を第一係合部181と係合させ、下側部分を第二係合部182と係合させることで、取り付けられる部材となっている。
ここで、腰板部材45の下端部分が第二係合部182の底部分と接触した状態において、腰板部材45の上端部分は、第一係合部181の底部分(上面)から下方に離れた位置に配される。つまり、第二係合部182の底部分から第一係合部181の底部分(上面)までの長さが、腰板部材45の上下方向の長さよりも長くなっている。このことから、腰板部材45の姿勢を変更させつつ、第一係合部181、第二係合部182に順に係合させることで、これらの双方と係合した状態とすることが可能となる。
The waist plate member 45 is a member that is attached by engaging the upper portion with the first engaging portion 181 and engaging the lower portion with the second engaging portion 182 .
Here, in a state in which the lower end portion of the wainscot member 45 is in contact with the bottom portion of the second engaging portion 182, the upper end portion of the wainscot member 45 is separated downward from the bottom portion (upper surface) of the first engaging portion 181. placed in position. That is, the length from the bottom portion of the second engaging portion 182 to the bottom portion (upper surface) of the first engaging portion 181 is longer than the length of the waist plate member 45 in the vertical direction. Therefore, by sequentially engaging the first engaging portion 181 and the second engaging portion 182 while changing the posture of the waist plate member 45, it is possible to achieve a state in which both of them are engaged. .

さらに、外壁面形成工程は、支柱部材30の下端側周辺にカバー部材を取り付けたり、島上タンク155に外表面を形成する部材を取り付けたりする工程、すなわち、残存する外壁材を取り付ける残存外壁形成工程を含む。
つまり、残存外壁形成工程は、上記した各工程で形成されなかった遊技機島1の外壁を形成する工程であり、化粧板として機能する各種板部材又はカバー部材を取り付ける工程である。
Furthermore, the outer wall surface forming step is a step of attaching a cover member around the lower end side of the support member 30 and attaching a member forming the outer surface to the island tank 155, that is, a remaining outer wall forming step of attaching the remaining outer wall material. including.
In other words, the remaining outer wall forming step is a step of forming the outer wall of the gaming machine island 1 that has not been formed in each of the steps described above, and is a step of attaching various plate members or cover members that function as decorative plates.

上記した各工程に加え、遊技機島1の各種タンク、各種流路の適宜な部分に遊技媒体を補充する玉入れ工程を実施する。
そして、遊技機2、台間機器20、データランプ等の遊技機島1において少なくとも一部が外部に露出する機器を取り付ける外部機器取付工程を実施する。以上の各工程により、遊技機島1(図1参照)が構築される。
In addition to the above steps, a ball-inserting step of replenishing appropriate portions of various tanks and flow paths of the game machine island 1 with game media is carried out.
Then, an external equipment mounting step is carried out for mounting the equipment such as the game machine 2, the inter-machine equipment 20, the data lamp, etc. on the game machine island 1, at least a part of which is exposed to the outside. Through the steps described above, the gaming machine island 1 (see FIG. 1) is constructed.

上記した実施形態では、上側連結構造体37、下側連結構造体38がそれぞれ外壁保持部材を形成した例について説明したが、本発明はこれに限るものではない。
ユニット体を連結して形成される構造体は、外壁保持部材の少なくとも一部を形成するものであればよく、ユニット体はそのような構造体の一部を形成するものであればよい。
例えば、ユニット体を連結して形成される構造体は、上側連結構造体37から側壁形成部材97を除いたものであってもよく、側壁形成部材97は、外壁面形成工程等の適宜の工程で取り付けてもよい。この場合、この構造体の一部を形成するユニット体は、上側ユニット体31から側壁形成部材97を除いたものであってもよい。
In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the upper connecting structure 37 and the lower connecting structure 38 each form an outer wall holding member has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this.
The structure formed by connecting the unit bodies should just form at least a part of the outer wall holding member, and the unit bodies should just form a part of such a structure.
For example, the structure formed by connecting the unit bodies may be the upper connection structure 37 excluding the side wall forming member 97. can be attached with In this case, the unit body forming part of this structure may be the upper unit body 31 excluding the side wall forming member 97 .

すなわち、ユニット体は、構造体を所定方向(長手方向)に分割した一部分を形成する形状であり、予め設定された規定大きさ(基点寸法に基づく大きさ)であればよい。 That is, the unit body has a shape that forms a portion obtained by dividing the structure body in a predetermined direction (longitudinal direction), and may have a predetermined specified size (size based on the base point size).

ここで、上記実施形態の判別工程において、ユニット体を並べた並列方向の合計長さが構造体の同並列方向の長さ(以下、規定長さとも称する)とならない場合とは、2つのユニット体を並べた際に合計長さが規定長さより長くなる場合も含む。すなわち、2つのユニット体を並べた並列方向の合計長さが構造体の長さよりも長くなる場合、一つのユニット体と、少なくとも一つの調整部材を並べることで構造体を構築してもよい。 Here, in the determination process of the above embodiment, the case where the total length in the parallel direction in which the unit bodies are arranged does not equal the length of the structure in the same parallel direction (hereinafter also referred to as the prescribed length) means that the two units Including cases where the total length becomes longer than the specified length when arranging the bodies. That is, when the total length in the parallel direction of two unit bodies arranged side by side is longer than the length of the structure, the structure may be constructed by arranging one unit body and at least one adjustment member.

また、調整部材の配置位置は、上記した構造体の端部側に限るものではなく、図30(a)で示されるように、中央側部分でもよい。
すなわち、上側調整部材232(調整部材)、下側調整部材234(調整部材)は、上側連結構造体237(外壁保持部材、構造体)、下側連結構造体238(外壁保持部材、構造体)の中央側部分を構築するものであってもよい。
つまり、調整部材は、構造体のいずれの部分を構築してもよく、2つのユニット体の間や、ユニット体と他の調整部材の間、さらには、2つの他の調整部材の間に位置していてもよい。また、1つの構造体に含まれる調整部材の数は適宜変更してよく、1又は複数のいずれでもよい。
Further, the arrangement position of the adjustment member is not limited to the end portion side of the structure described above, and may be the central portion as shown in FIG. 30(a).
That is, the upper adjustment member 232 (adjustment member) and the lower adjustment member 234 (adjustment member) are configured as an upper connecting structure 237 (outer wall holding member, structure) and a lower connecting structure 238 (outer wall holding member, structure). It may be one that constructs the central side portion of the.
That is, the adjustment member may build up any part of the structure and may be positioned between two unit bodies, between a unit body and another adjustment member, or even between two other adjustment members. You may have Also, the number of adjustment members included in one structure may be changed as appropriate, and may be either one or more.

また、調整部材の大きさもまた、上記したようにユニット体よりも小さいものに限るものではなく、図30(a)で示されるように、ユニット体よりも大きいものであってもよい。
すなわち、上側調整部材232、下側調整部材234の遊技機島の長手方向の長さ(大きさ)は、上側ユニット体31、下側ユニット体33よりも短いもの(小さい)でなくてもよく、これらよりも長い(大きい)ものでもよい。
Also, the size of the adjusting member is not limited to being smaller than the unit body as described above, and may be larger than the unit body as shown in FIG. 30(a).
That is, the length (size) of the upper adjusting member 232 and the lower adjusting member 234 in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island need not be shorter (smaller) than the upper unit body 31 and the lower unit body 33. , and may be longer (larger) than these.

つまり、調整部材は、上記したように、遊技機島1の長手方向の長さが長いものに限らず、図31で示されるように、同方向の長さが短い上側調整部材332(調整部材)や下側調整部材334(調整部材)であってもよい。
すなわち、調整部材は、遊技機島1の長手方向の長さが上下方向より短くてもよい。
In other words, the adjustment member is not limited to one having a long length in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 as described above, and an upper adjustment member 332 (adjustment member) having a short length in the same direction as shown in FIG. ) or the lower adjusting member 334 (adjusting member).
That is, the length of the adjustment member in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1 may be shorter than that in the vertical direction.

また、調整部材の形状は、上記したように、ユニット体を小型化(又は大型化)したものが好ましいが、必ずしもこれに限るものではない。例えば、略直方体状や箱状となる他形状の立体構造物であってもよい。また、図32で示されるように、立板状部材であってもよい。 Moreover, as for the shape of the adjusting member, it is preferable that the unit body is made smaller (or larger) as described above, but it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, it may be a three-dimensional structure having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape or a box shape. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 32, it may be a vertical plate-like member.

すなわち、図32で示されるように、上側調整部材432(調整部材)を一の板状部材によって形成してもよい。すなわち、上側連結構造体は、大部分を複数の上側ユニット体31を連結して形成し、余剰部分を上側調整部材432によって形成してもよい。
この場合、この上側調整部材432は、隣接配置される上側連結構造体の構成部材(ユニット体や調整部材であり、図32では上側ユニット体31)と、支柱部材30の少なくとも一方に固定してもよい。
That is, as shown in FIG. 32, the upper adjusting member 432 (adjusting member) may be formed by one plate-like member. That is, the upper connecting structure may be formed by connecting a plurality of upper unit bodies 31 for the most part, and the surplus part may be formed by the upper adjusting member 432 .
In this case, the upper adjusting member 432 is fixed to at least one of the adjacently arranged constituent members of the upper connecting structure (the upper unit body 31 in FIG. 32 , which is a unit body or an adjusting member) and the strut member 30 . good too.

また、この場合、隣接する上側ユニット体31に固定される幕板部材42(図)と、ランプ板形成部材43とを長手方向に長いものとし、その一部が上側調整部材432の外側(遊技機島の短手方向で外側)の一部分に位置するように形成してもよい。つまり、調整部材には、必ずしも外壁材が取り付けられなくてもよい。 Also, in this case, the curtain plate member 42 (FIG.) fixed to the adjacent upper unit body 31 and the lamp plate forming member 43 are elongated in the longitudinal direction, and part of them is outside the upper adjustment member 432 (game You may form so that it may be located in a part of (outside in the transverse direction) of the machine island. That is, the adjustment member does not necessarily have to be attached to the outer wall material.

上記した実施形態では、調整工程で使用する調整部材(上側調整部材32、下側調整部材34)を遊技場外で事前作製した例について説明したが、本発明はこれに限るものではない。
例えば、調整部材の作製作業の一部を遊技場外で事前に実施し、続く作業を遊技場内で構造体を構築する際に実施してもよい。
具体的に説明すると、調整部材を形成するための部材(以下、調整用基礎部材とも称す)を遊技場外で事前作製する。このとき、調整用基礎部材は、調整部材よりも遊技機島における長手方向の長さを長くした部材とする。
そして、遊技場内で構造体を構築する際や、構造体の構築前に、調整用基礎部材の一部を切り落とし、調整部材を形成する。すなわち、遊技場内において、構造体形成工程(又は調整工程)の実施中又は実施前に調整部材の作製作業の一部を実施してもよい。
In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the adjustment members (the upper adjustment member 32 and the lower adjustment member 34) used in the adjustment process are prefabricated outside the game arcade has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, part of the adjustment member fabrication work may be performed outside the playground in advance, and the subsequent work may be performed when constructing the structure inside the playground.
Specifically, a member for forming the adjustment member (hereinafter also referred to as an adjustment base member) is prefabricated outside the game hall. At this time, the base member for adjustment is a member whose length in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island is longer than that of the adjustment member.
Then, when constructing the structure in the game hall or before constructing the structure, part of the adjustment base member is cut off to form the adjustment member. That is, part of the adjustment member manufacturing work may be performed during or before the structure formation process (or adjustment process) is performed in the game hall.

さらにまた、調整部材の作製作業を事前に実施せず、遊技場内で形成してもよい。すなわち、遊技場内で構造体を構築し、その際に長さを調整する作業の一環として、調整部材を形成してもよい。この場合、遊技場内で実施する構造体形成工程(又は調整工程)の実施中又は実施前に調整部材の作製作業の全工程が実施される。 Furthermore, the adjustment member may be formed in the game hall without carrying out the preparation work in advance. That is, the adjustment member may be formed as part of the work of constructing the structure in the game hall and adjusting the length of the structure. In this case, all steps of the adjustment member manufacturing process are performed during or before the structure forming process (or adjustment process) performed in the game hall.

また、上記した実施形態では、配置位置決定工程の後に判別工程を実施し、その後に、不足長さに応じた大きさの調整部材を形成した例を示したが、本発明はこれに限るものではない。それぞれ異なる大きさ(異なる長さ)の調整部材を予め形成しておき、判別工程で不足長さが生じたとき、それぞれ異なる大きさの調整部材から一の調整部材を選択使用してもよい。この場合、調整部材の作製は、ユニット体形成工程と同様に、各工程に先立って実施してもよい。また、ユニット体形成工程の後であり、他の工程よりも前に実施してもよい。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the determination step is performed after the arrangement position determination step, and then the adjustment member having the size corresponding to the insufficient length is formed, but the present invention is limited to this. is not. Adjusting members of different sizes (different lengths) may be formed in advance, and one adjusting member may be selected and used from among the adjusting members of different sizes when a shortage of length occurs in the determination step. In this case, the production of the adjusting member may be performed prior to each step in the same manner as the unit body forming step. Also, it may be performed after the unit body forming process and before other processes.

また、上記した実施形態では、下側連結構造体38に形成されたそれぞれの部材境界部160と、上側連結構造体37に形成された部材境界部163がいずれも上下方向で重ならない位置に形成されていた(図24参照)。しかしながら、図30(a)で示されるように、これらは上下方向で重なる位置に形成されていてもよい。また、図30(a)のように、すべての下側の部材境界部160が、上側の部材境界部163と重なる構造の他、一部のみの部材境界部160が、上側の部材境界部163と重なる構造でもよい。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the member boundary portions 160 formed in the lower connecting structure 38 and the member boundary portions 163 formed in the upper connecting structure 37 are both formed at positions that do not overlap in the vertical direction. (See FIG. 24). However, as shown in FIG. 30(a), they may be formed at positions overlapping each other in the vertical direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 30( a ), in addition to the structure in which all the lower member boundary portions 160 overlap the upper member boundary portions 163 , only a part of the member boundary portions 160 overlaps the upper member boundary portions 163 . It may be a structure that overlaps with

また、上記した実施形態では、上側ユニット体31、下側ユニット体33の長さ(遊技機島1の長手方向における長さ)を同一の長さとしたが、本発明はこれに限るものではない。例えば、図30(b)で示されるように、上側ユニット体531(ユニット体)、下側ユニット体533(ユニット体)の長さが異なる長さであってもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the lengths of the upper unit body 31 and the lower unit body 33 (the length in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1) are the same, but the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, as shown in FIG. 30(b), the upper unit body 531 (unit body) and the lower unit body 533 (unit body) may have different lengths.

ここで、図30(b)で示される上側連結構造体537(外壁保持部材、構造体)では、上側連結構造体537を構築する上側ユニット体531の一部が、支柱部材30と直接接触しない状態となっている。同様に、下側連結構造体538(外壁保持部材、構造体)を構築する下側ユニット体533の一部もまた、支柱部材30と直接接触しない状態となっている。 Here, in the upper connecting structure 537 (outer wall holding member, structure) shown in FIG. state. Similarly, part of the lower unit body 533 constructing the lower connecting structure 538 (outer wall holding member, structure) is also in a state of not directly contacting the strut member 30 .

つまり、構造体を支柱部材に取り付けた状態では、構造体を構築する全てのユニット体と調整部材のうちの少なくとも一部材が、支柱部材と直接接触しない状態であってもよい。
また、この構造とは異なり、構造体を構築する全てのユニット体、調整部材がそれぞれ一又は複数の支柱部材と接触する状態(支柱部材に固定された状態)であってもよい。
In other words, when the structure is attached to the support member, at least one member out of all the unit bodies and the adjustment member forming the structure may not be in direct contact with the support member.
Also, unlike this structure, all the unit bodies and adjustment members constructing the structure may be in a state of being in contact with one or a plurality of strut members (fixed to strut members).

さらに、図30(b)で示される上側連結構造体537では、上側の部材境界部163の一部と、下側の部材境界部160の一部とが支柱部材30と近接する位置にある。すなわち、遊技機島の長手方向と交わる方向(遊技機島の短手方向)を視線方向とした平面視において、支柱部材30と重なる位置に形成されている。
このように、複数の部材境界部163の一部が支柱部材と隣接する位置にはいされていてもよい。すなわち、少なくとも一つの部材境界部163が、支柱部材30から遊技機島の長手方向で離れた位置にあればよい。
なお、これは下側連結構造体においても同様であり、重複する説明を省略する。
Furthermore, in the upper connecting structure 537 shown in FIG. 30( b ), a portion of the upper member boundary portion 163 and a portion of the lower member boundary portion 160 are positioned close to the strut member 30 . That is, it is formed at a position that overlaps the support member 30 in a plan view in which the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the game machine island (the lateral direction of the game machine island) is the viewing direction.
In this manner, a portion of the plurality of member boundary portions 163 may be positioned adjacent to the strut member. That is, it is sufficient that at least one member boundary portion 163 is located away from the support member 30 in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island.
Note that this also applies to the lower connecting structure, and redundant description will be omitted.

上記した実施形態では、長手方向に直線状に延びる遊技機島1について説明したが、本発明はこれに限るものではない。
本発明の遊技機島は、必ずしも長手方向に直線状に延びるものに限るものではなく、所謂R島と称される遊技機島のように、長手方向の少なくとも一部が弧を描くように曲がりつつ延びる遊技機島であってよい。すなわち、平面視において、少なくとも一部が屈曲又は湾曲しつつ延びる遊技機島であってもよい。
この場合、ユニット体もまた長手方向の少なくとも一部が弧を描くように曲がりつつ延びる形状(以下、湾曲形状とも称す)や、少なくとも一個所で屈曲して延びる形状(以下、屈曲形状とも称す)としてもよい。また、この場合において、長尺の調整部材を採用する際には(詳しくは後述する)、これらもまた湾曲形状や屈曲形状としてもよい。
なお、この場合もまた、ユニット体や調整部材を並列させる並列方向は、遊技機島の長手方向と同方向となる。すなわち、平面視において、少なくとも一部が屈曲又は湾曲しつつ延びる方向が並列方向となる。例えば、平面視において円環状に延びる遊技機島を形成する場合、遊技機島の長手方向及びユニット体等の並列方向は、円の周方向となる。
Although the game machine island 1 linearly extending in the longitudinal direction has been described in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this.
The game machine island of the present invention is not necessarily limited to one that extends linearly in the longitudinal direction. Like a game machine island called R island, at least a part of the game machine island in the longitudinal direction curves to draw an arc. It may be a game machine island that stretches out. That is, it may be a gaming machine island that extends while at least a part of it is bent or curved in a plan view.
In this case, the unit body also has a shape in which at least part of the longitudinal direction extends while bending to draw an arc (hereinafter also referred to as a curved shape), or a shape that extends while being bent at at least one point (hereinafter also referred to as a bent shape). may be Also, in this case, when employing long adjusting members (details will be described later), these may also be curved or bent.
Also in this case, the parallel direction in which the unit bodies and the adjustment members are arranged is the same as the longitudinal direction of the game machine island. That is, in plan view, the parallel direction is the direction in which at least a portion of the electrodes extends while being bent or curved. For example, in the case of forming a game machine island that extends in an annular shape in a plan view, the longitudinal direction of the game machine island and the parallel direction of the units and the like are the circumferential direction of the circle.

上記した実施形態では、短手方向の一方側と他方側のそれぞれに遊技機2を取り付けた遊技機島1であり、遊技機2としてぱちんこ機を採用した遊技機島1について説明した。すなわち、短手方向の両側それぞれでぱちんこ機が並列配置され、同短手方向においてぱちんこ機が背中合わせに配置される遊技機島1について説明した。しかしながら、本発明はこれに限るものではない。
例えば、遊技機2には、ぱちんこ機に替わって所謂スロットマシンのような回胴式遊技機を採用してもよい。すなわち、短手方向の一方側と他方側のそれぞれに回胴式遊技機を取り付けた遊技機島であってもよい。また、短手方向の一方側にぱちんこ機を取り付け、他方に回胴式遊技機を取り付けた遊技機島であってもよい。すなわち、遊技機2として採用される機器は、適宜変更してよい。
In the above-described embodiment, the game machine island 1 having the game machines 2 attached to each of the one side and the other side in the short direction, and the game machine island 1 adopting pachinko machines as the game machines 2 has been described. That is, the game machine island 1 has been described in which the pachinko machines are arranged in parallel on both sides in the short direction, and the pachinko machines are arranged back to back in the same short direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, instead of the pachinko machine, the gaming machine 2 may employ a reel-type gaming machine such as a so-called slot machine. That is, it may be a game machine island in which a reel-type game machine is attached to each of one side and the other side in the short direction. Alternatively, it may be a game machine island in which a pachinko machine is attached to one side in the short direction and a reel-type game machine is attached to the other side. That is, the equipment employed as the gaming machine 2 may be changed as appropriate.

また、所謂壁島と称される遊技機島のように、短手方向の一方側にのみ遊技機2を取り付けた遊技機島であってもよい。すなわち、遊技機島の設置場所(遊技場等)において壁と隣接する短手方向の他方側に遊技機2を取り付けない遊技機島であってもよい。
この場合、遊技機島の長手方向における端部側に配する支柱部材として、図33で示される支柱部材630(荷重支持部材)を採用してもよい。
Alternatively, the game machine island may be a game machine island in which the game machine 2 is attached only to one side in the short direction, such as a so-called wall island. In other words, the game machine island may be a game machine island in which the game machine 2 is not installed on the other side in the short direction adjacent to the wall in the installation place (game arcade, etc.) of the game machine island.
In this case, a support member 630 (load support member) shown in FIG. 33 may be employed as a support member arranged on the end side in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island.

この支柱部材630は、遊技機島の短手方向における一方側と他方側でそれぞれ形状が異なるものとなっている。以下、この支柱部材630について説明するが、上記した第一支柱部材50と同様の部分については同様の符号を付し、重複する説明を省略する。 The support members 630 have different shapes on one side and the other side in the short direction of the game machine island. The strut member 630 will be described below, but portions similar to those of the first strut member 50 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

詳細に説明すると、同短手方向における一方側(図33の手前側)では、上側に位置する第一上側取付部656のうち、柱連結部668の形状が上記した第一支柱部材50と異なっている。詳細には、補強壁部668bは、同短手方向における長さが上記した補強壁部68bよりも長く、固定板部69と同一(又は略同一)の長さとなる略台形板状の部分となっている。 More specifically, on one side (the front side in FIG. 33) in the short direction, the shape of the column connecting portion 668 of the first upper mounting portion 656 located on the upper side is different from that of the first column member 50 described above. ing. Specifically, the reinforcing wall portion 668b has a substantially trapezoidal plate-like portion whose length in the lateral direction is longer than that of the reinforcing wall portion 68b described above and has the same (or substantially the same) length as the fixed plate portion 69. It's becoming

この支柱部材630では、2つの縦桟部材55a,655aのうち、壁側に位置する壁側縦桟部材655aが、もう一方の縦桟部材55aよりも長さが長くなっている。
そして、壁側縦桟部材655aが上側横桟部材655bを上下方向で貫通して延びており、詳細には、上側横桟部材655bの長手方向における片側端部であり、設置時に壁側となる壁側端部と隣接する位置を貫通している。すなわち、縦桟部材55aが、最も近接する上側横桟部材655bの長手方向端部から中央側に離れた位置に連結されているのに対し、この壁側縦桟部材655aは、上側横桟部材655bの長手方向の端部周辺を貫通している。
In this strut member 630, of the two vertical beam members 55a and 655a, the wall-side vertical beam member 655a located on the wall side is longer than the other vertical beam member 55a.
The wall-side vertical bar member 655a extends through the upper horizontal bar member 655b in the vertical direction. It penetrates the position adjacent to the wall edge. That is, the vertical bar member 55a is connected to a position spaced centrally from the longitudinal end of the closest upper horizontal bar member 655b, while the wall-side vertical bar member 655a is connected to the upper horizontal bar member 655a. 655b extending around the longitudinal ends thereof.

また、壁側縦桟部材655aは、下側横桟部材655cの長手方向における壁側端部近傍と連結している。
つまり、この支柱部材630の上側横桟部材655bと下側横桟部材655cは、一方の縦桟部材655aを連結させるための連結部分の形成位置が、上記の上側横桟部材55b、下側横桟部材55cと異なる構造となっている。すなわち、この連結部分が、より長手方向における端部よりの部分に形成されている点で異なっている。さらに、上側横桟部材655bでは、この連結部分において、一方の縦桟部材655aを貫通させて連結させる点でも、上記した上側横桟部材55bと異なっている。
The wall-side vertical bar member 655a is connected to the vicinity of the wall-side end in the longitudinal direction of the lower horizontal bar member 655c.
That is, the upper horizontal bar member 655b and the lower horizontal bar member 655c of the strut member 630 are formed so that the connecting portion for connecting one of the vertical bar members 655a is formed at the upper horizontal bar member 55b and the lower horizontal bar member 655b. It has a structure different from that of the crosspiece member 55c. That is, the difference is that this connecting portion is formed closer to the end in the longitudinal direction. Further, the upper horizontal beam member 655b differs from the above-described upper horizontal beam member 55b in that one of the vertical beam members 655a is passed through and connected at this connecting portion.

下側横桟部材655cの長手方向の一方端には、第一下側取付部57の上端部分が取り付けられており、他方端部分には、脚部形成部材657の上端部分が取り付けられている。
脚部形成部材657は、上下方向に延びる本体板部657aと、本体板部657aの下側の一部を折り曲げて形成される補助板部657bを有する。
本体板部657aは、上記した連結添板部90(図7参照)を縦方向に延びる中心線で二分割したような形状となる立板状部材である。すなわち、上側に位置する幅方向の長さが長い部分と、下側に位置する幅方向の長さが短い部分とが連結して形成されている。
補助板部657bは、縦方向に延びる長尺の略長方形立板状の部分であり、本体板部657aの下側部分における幅方向片側端部(遊技機島の長手方向における端部)と連続する部分である。すなわち、遊技機島の短手方向に沿って突出する板状部分である。
The upper end portion of the first lower mounting portion 57 is attached to one end in the longitudinal direction of the lower horizontal beam member 655c, and the upper end portion of the leg portion forming member 657 is attached to the other end portion in the longitudinal direction. .
The leg forming member 657 has a vertically extending body plate portion 657a and an auxiliary plate portion 657b formed by bending a portion of the lower side of the body plate portion 657a.
The main body plate portion 657a is an upright plate-like member having a shape obtained by dividing the above-described connecting attachment plate portion 90 (see FIG. 7) into two along the longitudinally extending center line. That is, an upper portion having a long width direction and a lower portion having a short width direction are connected to each other.
The auxiliary plate portion 657b is a long, substantially rectangular upright plate portion extending in the vertical direction, and is continuous with one end in the width direction of the lower portion of the main body plate portion 657a (the end in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island). This is the part to do. That is, it is a plate-like portion that protrudes along the short side of the game machine island.

そして、脚部形成部材657の下端側部分と第一下側取付部57の下端側部分とがアンカー連結部58で連結された状態となっている。 The lower end side portion of the leg forming member 657 and the lower end side portion of the first lower mounting portion 57 are connected by the anchor connecting portion 58 .

以上のように、上記した支柱部材30のうち、遊技機島1の短手方向における一端側を上記とは異なる構造とすることで、壁島で使用する支柱部材630としてもよい。 As described above, one end side of the game machine island 1 in the lateral direction of the support member 30 described above may have a structure different from that described above, thereby forming the support member 630 used in the wall island.

また、上記した実施形態では、下側添設体(添板形成部90a)を立板状部分として形成した例を示したが、本発明はこれに限るものではない。例えば、下側添設体は、円筒状、角筒状のような筒状体であってもよく、円柱状、角柱状のような柱状体であってもよい。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the lower attachment body (attachment plate forming portion 90a) is formed as a vertical plate-shaped portion has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lower attachment body may be a tubular body such as a cylinder or a square tube, or a columnar body such as a cylinder or a prism.

例えば、図34で示されるように、上記とは異なる形状の添板形成部690a(下側添設体)を備えた第二下側取付部681(下側取付部)を形成してもよい。
この添板形成部690aは、断面形状が略コ字状で上下方向に延びた形状となっている。すなわち、添板形成部690aは、上下方向に延びる縦長の長方形立板状の本体部695と、本体部695の短手方向の両端それぞれから外側(遊技機島の短手方向で外側)へ突出する立板状の突片部分696とを有する。2つの突片部分696は、いずれも厚さ方向が遊技機島の長手方向と同方向となっており、この長手方向で離間対向している。
このような構造によると、下側連結構造体38を取り付けるとき、突片部分696の突出端が下側連結構造体38と接触し、本体部695と下側連結構造体38の間に隙間が形成される。この状態でも、本体部695の内側(遊技機島の短手方向で内側)から締結要素を挿通することで、添板形成部690a(本体部695)と下側連結構造体38を一体に固定できる。
For example, as shown in FIG. 34, a second lower attachment portion 681 (lower attachment portion) may be formed that includes an attachment plate forming portion 690a (lower attachment body) having a shape different from that described above. .
The attachment plate forming portion 690a has a substantially U-shaped cross section and extends in the vertical direction. That is, the support plate forming portion 690a includes a main body portion 695 in the shape of a vertically long rectangular upright plate that extends in the vertical direction, and protrudes outward (outward in the short direction of the game machine island) from both ends of the main body portion 695 in the short side direction. It has an upright plate-shaped protruding piece portion 696 that Both of the two protruding pieces 696 have a thickness direction that is the same as the longitudinal direction of the game machine island, and are spaced apart and face each other in this longitudinal direction.
According to this structure, when the lower connecting structure 38 is attached, the protruding end of the protruding piece portion 696 contacts the lower connecting structure 38, and a gap is formed between the main body portion 695 and the lower connecting structure 38. It is formed. Even in this state, the attachment plate forming portion 690a (main body portion 695) and the lower connecting structure 38 are integrally fixed by inserting the fastening element from the inner side of the main body portion 695 (the inner side in the lateral direction of the game machine island). can.

また、図35で示されるように、第二下側取付部700(下側取付部)は、打ち抜き加工後、曲げ加工を施した一つの板部材である取付部形成部材701によって形成してもよい。
取付部形成部材701もまた、上下方向に延びる縦長の長方形立板状の本体部702と、本体部702の短手方向の両端それぞれから外側(遊技機島の短手方向で外側)へ突出する立板状の突片部分703を有する。そして、2つの突片部分703は、いずれも厚さ方向が遊技機島の長手方向と同方向となっており、この長手方向で離間対向している。
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 35, the second lower mounting portion 700 (lower mounting portion) may be formed by a mounting portion forming member 701 which is a single plate member that is punched and then bent. good.
The mounting portion forming member 701 also has a vertically elongated rectangular upright plate-shaped main body portion 702 that protrudes outward (outward in the short direction of the game machine island) from both ends of the main body portion 702 in the short side direction. It has a projecting piece portion 703 in the form of a vertical plate. The thickness direction of the two projecting pieces 703 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the game machine island, and they are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction.

ここで、突片部分703は、上側部分と下側部分とで突出長さが異なっており、上側部分の突出長さが下側部分と比べて短い。詳細には、突片部分703上側部分と下側部分は、それぞれが縦長の長方形立板状であり、それぞれ突出端面が段差を介して連続している。
そして、下側連結構造体38を取り付けるとき、上記した添板形成部690aと同様に、取付部形成部材701の上側部分が下側添設体として機能する。
Here, the protruding piece portion 703 has different projecting lengths between the upper portion and the lower portion, and the projecting length of the upper portion is shorter than that of the lower portion. Specifically, the upper and lower portions of the protruding piece portion 703 are each in the shape of a vertically long rectangular upright plate, and the protruding end surfaces thereof are continuous via a step.
Then, when the lower connecting structure 38 is attached, the upper portion of the attaching portion forming member 701 functions as a lower attaching member in the same manner as the attachment plate forming portion 690a described above.

ところで、上記した実施形態では、支柱部材30の下端側部分をアンカー連結部58で連結し、このアンカー連結部58をベース部材140に固定した(図17参照)。すなわち、支柱部材30の下端側部分の一部をアンカー連結部58によって形成した。
しかしながら、図35(a)で示されるように、2つの第二下側取付部700の下端側部分をベース部材140に直接固定してもよい。すなわち、アンカー連結部58を介さず、2つの第二下側取付部700とベース部材140を適宜な固定手段(ビス止め等)により固定してもよい。この場合、下側横桟部材705の長手方向の長さを、上記した下側横桟部材55cよりも短くしてもよい。
By the way, in the embodiment described above, the lower end side portions of the strut members 30 are connected by the anchor connecting portions 58, and the anchor connecting portions 58 are fixed to the base member 140 (see FIG. 17). That is, a portion of the lower end side portion of the strut member 30 is formed by the anchor connecting portion 58 .
However, as shown in FIG. 35( a ), the lower end side portions of the two second lower mounting portions 700 may be directly fixed to the base member 140 . That is, the two second lower mounting portions 700 and the base member 140 may be fixed by appropriate fixing means (such as screws) without the anchor connection portion 58 interposed therebetween. In this case, the longitudinal length of the lower horizontal beam member 705 may be shorter than that of the lower horizontal beam member 55c.

対して、上記と同様に、2つの第二下側取付部700の下端側部分同士をベース部材140によって連結してもよい(図35(b)参照)。つまり、一方の第二下側取付部700の下端側分と、もう一方の第二下側取付部700の下端側分のそれぞれを、溶接等の適宜な固定手段により、ベース部材140の異なる部分に固定してもよい。
つまり、支柱部材の下側取付部同士は、必ずしもアンカー連結部58で連結しなくてもよく、下側取付部をベース部材140に直接固定してもよい。しかしながら、強度を向上させるという観点から、2つの下側取付部の下端側部分同士をアンカー連結部58で連結させる構造とすることが好ましい。
On the other hand, in the same manner as described above, the lower end portions of the two second lower mounting portions 700 may be connected by the base member 140 (see FIG. 35(b)). That is, the lower end portion of one of the second lower mounting portions 700 and the lower end portion of the other second lower mounting portion 700 are respectively fixed by appropriate fixing means such as welding, so that different portions of the base member 140 are attached to each other. can be fixed to
That is, the lower attachment portions of the strut members do not necessarily have to be connected by the anchor connection portion 58, and the lower attachment portions may be directly fixed to the base member 140. FIG. However, from the viewpoint of improving the strength, it is preferable to adopt a structure in which the lower end side portions of the two lower mounting portions are connected by the anchor connecting portion 58 .

さらに、図36で示されるように、支柱部材730の下端側部分に平板状の取付片部731を形成し、遊技場床面に対してアンカーボルト及びナット等の固定手段で直接固定してもよい。
すなわち、上記したベース部材固定工程を実施せず、支柱取付工程において支柱部材を直接床面に対して固定してもよい。
Further, as shown in FIG. 36, a flat mounting piece 731 is formed on the lower end portion of the strut member 730, and it may be directly fixed to the floor of the game hall by fixing means such as anchor bolts and nuts. good.
That is, the support member may be directly fixed to the floor surface in the support mounting process without performing the above-described base member fixing process.

また、支柱部材730の一部を形成する縦桟部材732同士を連結する際、縦桟部材732の長手方向における中途部分同士を連結してもよい。また、縦桟部材732の下端側と連結する横桟部材733は、複数(図36では2つ)形成し、それぞれ異なる縦桟部材732と連結させてもよい。すなわち、横桟部材は、必ずしも複数(2つ)の縦桟部材732を連結させなくてもよい。 Further, when connecting the vertical crosspiece members 732 forming part of the support member 730, the vertical crosspiece members 732 may be connected at their midpoints in the longitudinal direction. Further, a plurality of horizontal rail members 733 (two in FIG. 36) may be formed to be connected to the lower end side of the vertical rail member 732, and each of the horizontal rail members 733 may be connected to a different vertical rail member 732. That is, the horizontal rail member does not necessarily have to connect the plurality (two) of the vertical rail members 732 .

また、上記した実施形態では、2つの第一支柱部材50と、8つの第二支柱部材51からなる10の支柱部材30を並列配置し、遊技機島1を形成した例について説明したが、本発明はこれに限るものではない。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the game machine island 1 is formed by arranging the ten strut members 30 composed of the two first strut members 50 and the eight second strut members 51 in parallel. The invention is not limited to this.

例えば、上記した研磨機ユニット148を支柱部材として使用してもよい。
すなわち、研磨機ユニット148の柱状部材152を上側連結構造体37の垂直荷重を支持する支柱部材の一部として使用してもよい。言い換えると、上側ユニット体31や上側調整部材32を取り付ける柱状部材として使用してもよい。
同様に、研磨機ユニット148の本体外郭部151を下側連結構造体38の垂直荷重を支持する支柱部材として使用してもよい。言い換えると、下側ユニット体33や下側調整部材34を取り付ける柱状部材として使用してもよい。
なお、この本体外郭部151は、上記したベース部材140を介して遊技場床面に固定してもよい。その一方で、上記した支柱部材730(図36参照)のように、下端側部分に平板状の取付片部を形成し、アンカーボルト等によって固定してもよい。
For example, the grinder unit 148 described above may be used as a support member.
That is, the columnar member 152 of the grinder unit 148 may be used as part of the support member supporting the vertical load of the upper connecting structure 37 . In other words, it may be used as a columnar member to which the upper unit body 31 and the upper adjusting member 32 are attached.
Similarly, the body shell 151 of the grinder unit 148 may be used as a strut member to support the vertical load of the lower connecting structure 38 . In other words, it may be used as a columnar member to which the lower unit body 33 and the lower adjusting member 34 are attached.
Note that the body outer shell portion 151 may be fixed to the floor surface of the game hall via the base member 140 described above. On the other hand, like the support member 730 (see FIG. 36) described above, a flat mounting piece may be formed at the lower end side portion and fixed with an anchor bolt or the like.

また、上記した実施形態の遊技機島1では、研磨機ユニット148を遊技機島1の長手方向における中央側部分に配置した例について説明したが、本発明はこれに限るものではない。
研磨機ユニット148は、遊技機島1の長手方向における端部側周辺に配置してもよく、端部側周辺と中央側部分の間に配置してもよい。すなわち、研磨機ユニット148は遊技機島1の適宜位置に配置でき、柱状部材152を基準に支柱部材30の配置位置を設定してもよい。したがって、上記したように研磨機ユニット148を支柱部材として機能させる場合、遊技機島1の長手方向で最も端部側に位置する支柱部材を研磨機ユニット148によって形成してもよい。また、これとは異なり、最も端部側に位置する支柱部材から中央側に離れた位置に配される支柱部材を研磨機ユニット148によって形成してもよい。
Further, in the gaming machine island 1 of the above-described embodiment, an example in which the grinder unit 148 is arranged in the central portion of the gaming machine island 1 in the longitudinal direction has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this.
The grinder unit 148 may be arranged around the end side in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1, or may be arranged between the end side circumference and the center side portion. That is, the grinder unit 148 can be arranged at an appropriate position on the game machine island 1, and the arrangement position of the support member 30 may be set with the columnar member 152 as a reference. Therefore, when the grinder unit 148 functions as a support member as described above, the grinder unit 148 may be used to form the support member positioned closest to the end in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 . Also, unlike this, the grinder unit 148 may form a support member disposed at a position away from the support member located at the most end side toward the center.

Here, the columnar erected body 752 may be provided as a part of the grinder unit instead of the columnar member 152 described above. In this case, the main body outer shell portion 151 becomes the base portion of the columnar erected body 752 . Similarly, it may be provided on a frame-like body or a box-like body (not shown) that is appropriately formed separately from the grinder unit. In this case, these frame-shaped bodies and box-shaped bodies serve as base portions of the columnar erected bodies 752 .

そして、柱状立設体752の下側に一体に形成される土台部分(図示しない)もまた、下側連結構造体38の垂直荷重を支持する支柱部材として使用してもよい。つまり、柱状立設体752とその土台部分は、それぞれ別に支柱部材として使用してもよく、一つの支柱部材として使用してもよい。 A base portion (not shown) integrally formed on the lower side of the columnar erected body 752 may also be used as a support member for supporting the vertical load of the lower connecting structure 38 . In other words, the columnar erected body 752 and its base portion may be used as separate support members, or may be used as one support member.

ところで、柱状立設体752は、上記した支柱部材730(図36参照)のように、下端側部分に平板状の取付片部を形成し、アンカーボルト等によって遊技場床面に固定してもよい。この場合、柱状立設体752の下側部分が土台部分として機能し、その上方側の部分が枠柱体として機能する。つまり、柱状立設体752の上側部分を上側連結構造体37の垂直荷重を支持する部分とし、下側部分を下側連結構造体38の垂直荷重を支持する部分としてもよい。 By the way, the columnar erected body 752 may be fixed to the floor of the game hall with an anchor bolt or the like by forming a flat plate-like mounting piece portion at the lower end portion like the above-described support member 730 (see FIG. 36). good. In this case, the lower portion of the columnar erected body 752 functions as a base portion, and the upper portion functions as a frame column. That is, the upper portion of the columnar erected body 752 may be the portion that supports the vertical load of the upper connecting structure 37 and the lower portion may be the portion that supports the vertical load of the lower connecting structure 38 .

この柱状立設体752は、上記したように研磨機ユニットの形成位置に設けられてもよく、研磨機ユニットから離れた位置に設けられてもよい。さらに、異なる位置に複数設けられていてもよい。 The columnar erected body 752 may be provided at the formation position of the polishing machine unit as described above, or may be provided at a position away from the polishing machine unit. Furthermore, a plurality of them may be provided at different positions.

なお、この上側板部769bには、必要に応じて、アウト球誘導部材のような遊技球の流路を形成する部材(流路形成部材)を載置してもよい。このアウト球誘導部材は、上方から落下した遊技球をアウトレール側へ流す流路を形成する部材である。
A channel insertion hole 771 is formed in a part of the upper plate portion 769b.
The channel insertion hole 771 is a through hole that penetrates the upper plate portion 769b in the thickness direction, and serves as a portion for arranging the lifting channel.
In addition, on the upper plate portion 769b, a member (flow path forming member) that forms a flow path of a game ball, such as an out-ball guiding member, may be placed as necessary. This out-ball guide member is a member that forms a flow path through which a game ball dropped from above flows toward the out-rail side.

ここで、2つの横桟部769aは、いずれも2つの縦桟部768aに対して溶接等の固定手段により、一体に固定されている。つまり、本体外郭部761は、2つの縦桟部768aと2つの横桟部769aによって形成される枠状体(フレーム体)に対し、板状部材が取り付けられて形成されている。
なお、この本体外郭部761は、2つの側壁形成部768のそれぞれをベース部材140に固定することで、遊技場の床面に固定する部材となっている。
Here, the two horizontal beam portions 769a are integrally fixed to the two vertical beam portions 768a by fixing means such as welding. That is, the main body outer shell portion 761 is formed by attaching a plate-like member to a frame-like body (frame body) formed by two vertical bars 768a and two horizontal bars 769a.
It should be noted that the main body outer shell portion 761 is a member that is fixed to the floor surface of the game hall by fixing each of the two side wall forming portions 768 to the base member 140 .

柱状部材762は、2つの縦桟部762aと、これらの上端側部分同士を連結する横桟部762bを有しており、これらが連結して形成されている。
縦桟部762aは、上下方向に延びる角筒状の部分である。この縦桟部762aは、その下端側部分を本体外郭部761の縦桟部768aに対して嵌め込み可能となっている。
The columnar member 762 has two vertical beam portions 762a and a horizontal beam portion 762b that connects the upper end portions of the vertical beam portions 762a.
The vertical bar portion 762a is a rectangular tubular portion extending in the vertical direction. The vertical bar portion 762 a can be fitted to the vertical bar portion 768 a of the main body outer shell portion 761 at its lower end side portion.

すなわち、縦桟部762aの下端側部分は、上側部分と比べて小型の角筒状部分となっており、下端側部分の外周面と上側部分の外周面とが段差を介して連続した形状となっている。そして、この縦桟部762aは、本体外郭部761の縦桟部768aの内孔に下端側部分を挿入可能である一方で、その上側部分は、この内孔に対して挿入不可能となっている。 That is, the lower end portion of the vertical bar portion 762a is a rectangular tubular portion that is smaller than the upper portion, and the outer peripheral surface of the lower end portion and the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion are continuous via a step. It's becoming The vertical bar portion 762a can be inserted at its lower end portion into the inner hole of the vertical bar portion 768a of the main body outer shell portion 761, while its upper portion cannot be inserted into this inner hole. there is

ここで、柱状部材762には、第二上側取付部80が取り付けられている。
具体的には、横桟部762bの長手方向における両端部それぞれの近傍であり、それぞれの縦桟部762aの上側周辺となる位置に、一つずつ合計二つの第二上側取付部80が取り付けられている。
Here, the second upper attachment portion 80 is attached to the columnar member 762 .
Specifically, a total of two second upper mounting portions 80 are attached one by one in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal beam portion 762b, and at positions corresponding to the upper periphery of each vertical beam portion 762a. ing.

この研磨機ユニット760では、2つの側壁形成部768のそれぞれに対し、一つずつ柱状部材762を取り付けている。すなわち、柱状部材762の2つの縦桟部762aの下端側部分を、側壁形成部768の2つの縦桟部768aに嵌入し、これらをネジ等の固定手段で一体に固定している。
このことにより、柱状部材762は、本体外郭部761の上側部分から上方に延びた状態となる。
すなわち、研磨機ユニット760をあたかも2つ(複数)の荷重支持部材を連結したような構造し、上側連結構造体37、下側連結構造体38の荷重を支持する部材としている。
In this grinder unit 760 , one columnar member 762 is attached to each of the two side wall forming portions 768 . That is, the lower end portions of the two vertical bars 762a of the columnar member 762 are fitted into the two vertical bars 768a of the side wall forming part 768, and they are fixed integrally by fixing means such as screws.
As a result, the columnar member 762 extends upward from the upper portion of the main body outer shell portion 761 .
That is, the grinder unit 760 is structured as if two (a plurality of) load bearing members are connected, and is a member that supports the load of the upper connecting structure 37 and the lower connecting structure 38 .

ここで、上記した実施形態では、柱状部材762の縦桟部762aを本体外郭部761の縦桟部768aに嵌め込み、ネジ等で固定する例を示したが、これらの連結構造は、これに限るものではない。これらは溶接等で固定してもよい。この場合、柱状部材762の縦桟部762aの下方側部分に縦桟部768aと係合する部分(縦桟部768aに嵌入可能な部分)を形成しなくてもよい。 Here, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the vertical bar portion 762a of the columnar member 762 is fitted into the vertical bar portion 768a of the main body outer shell portion 761 and fixed with screws or the like, but the connection structure is limited to this. not a thing These may be fixed by welding or the like. In this case, it is not necessary to form a portion that engages with the vertical bar portion 768a (a portion that can be fitted into the vertical bar portion 768a) on the lower side portion of the vertical bar portion 762a of the columnar member 762 .

さらに、柱状部材762の縦桟部762aと、本体外郭部761の縦桟部768aは一体に形成してもよい。すなわち、上記した本体外郭部761の縦桟部768aをより上下方向に長い形状とし、その上側に横桟部762bや、上側連結構造体37の荷重を支持する部材(第二上側取付部80等)を固定してもよい。すなわち、研磨揚送装置150の周囲に位置する枠状態又は箱状体の一部を上側へ延びた形状とし、上側連結構造体37の荷重を支持する部材としてもよい。 Furthermore, the vertical bar portion 762a of the columnar member 762 and the vertical bar portion 768a of the main body outer shell portion 761 may be integrally formed. That is, the vertical beam portion 768a of the main body outer shell portion 761 is made longer in the vertical direction, and the horizontal beam portion 762b and members supporting the load of the upper connection structure 37 (second upper mounting portion 80, etc.) ) may be fixed. In other words, a part of the frame or box-like body positioned around the polishing and lifting device 150 may be shaped to extend upward to serve as a member that supports the load of the upper connecting structure 37 .

また、上記した実施形態では、ベース部材140を介して研磨機ユニット760を遊技場床面に固定したが、研磨機ユニット760の固定構造は、このような構造に限るものでない。上記した支柱部材730(図36参照)のように、側壁形成部768の下端側部分に平板状の取付片部を形成し、アンカーボルト等によって遊技場床面に固定してもよい。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the grinder unit 760 is fixed to the floor surface of the game hall via the base member 140, but the fixing structure of the grinder unit 760 is not limited to such a structure. Like the support member 730 (see FIG. 36) described above, a flat mounting piece may be formed at the lower end portion of the side wall forming portion 768 and fixed to the floor of the game hall with an anchor bolt or the like.

また、上記した研磨機ユニット148,760において、本体外郭部761や柱状部材762と共に配される研磨揚送装置150は、上記したものに限るものではない。
例えば、研磨揚送装置150に替わって、研磨機能を備えていない揚送装置を配してもよい。この揚送装置は、公知のものを適宜採用可能である。採用可能な揚送装置の一例として、揚送流路と一体に形成され(揚送流路を含んで形成され)、揚送流路そのものに遊技球を上方に搬送する機能を備えた揚送装置がある。
Further, in the polishing machine units 148 and 760 described above, the polishing lifting device 150 arranged together with the main body shell portion 761 and the columnar member 762 is not limited to the above.
For example, instead of the polishing and lifting device 150, a lifting device that does not have a polishing function may be arranged. A known device can be appropriately adopted as this lifting device. As an example of a lifting device that can be adopted, a lifting device that is integrally formed with a lifting channel (formed including a lifting channel) and has a function of conveying game balls upward to the lifting channel itself I have a device.

具体的に説明すると、この揚送装置は、遊技球が導入される下方側の導入部分と、導入部分と連なる揚送部(揚送流路)とを有する。
導入部分は、揚送部の下方側に位置してこれを支持する支持部としても機能する。また、揚送部は、ベルトコンベア、チェーンコンベア等のコンベア部材を少なくとも有し、必要に応じてこのコンベア部材を内蔵するケース部材(流路外郭部材)を有する。
Specifically, the lifting device has a lower introduction portion into which the game ball is introduced, and a lifting portion (lifting channel) connected to the introduction portion.
The lead-in portion also functions as a support portion that is located on the lower side of the lifting portion and supports it. Further, the lifting section has at least a conveyor member such as a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor, and if necessary, a case member (flow path outer shell member) containing the conveyor member.

つまり、揚送装置及び揚送流路は、別途形成されて連結されていてもよく、一体に形成されていてもよい。これらは、遊技球が内部を流れる状態に連結されていればよい。
そして、別途形成して連結する場合には、例えば、導入された遊技球が内部を通過する共にこの遊技球に上方へ向かう力を付与する揚送装置と、筒状のホース部材等によって形成される揚送流路を連結してもよい。
その一方で、揚送装置と揚送流路を一体に形成する場合には、例えば、搬送用のベルト部材と、このベルト部材を駆動させるためのモータと、これらを内蔵する外郭部材を有し、揚送流路を形成する部分でベルト部材が動作する揚送装置を採用してもよい。そして、モータは、揚送流路を形成する部分の外側(揚送流路の下方側)に設けてもよく、揚送流路を形成する部分に設けてもよい。なお、揚送装置及び揚送流路を一つの装置で形成する場合、本体外郭部761の内側に装置の下方側部分が囲まれた状態となる。その一方で、装置の上方側部分が本体外郭部761より上方に配され、柱状の部分を形成する。
That is, the lifting device and the lifting channel may be separately formed and connected, or may be integrally formed. These may be connected in such a manner that game balls flow inside.
In the case of separately forming and connecting, for example, it is formed by a lifting device that allows the introduced game ball to pass through the inside and gives an upward force to the game ball, and a cylindrical hose member or the like. You may connect the pumping channel which carries out.
On the other hand, when the lifting device and the lifting channel are integrally formed, for example, a conveying belt member, a motor for driving the belt member, and an outer shell member containing these are provided. Alternatively, a lifting device may be employed in which a belt member operates in a portion forming a lifting channel. The motor may be provided outside the portion forming the lifting flow path (on the lower side of the lifting flow path), or may be provided in the portion forming the lifting flow path. When the lifting device and the lifting channel are formed by one device, the lower side portion of the device is surrounded inside the main body outer shell portion 761 . On the other hand, the upper part of the device is arranged above the body shell part 761 and forms a columnar part.

また、遊技機島における支柱部材の数は2以上の数で適宜変更してよく、例えば、2つの支柱部材を備えた遊技機島であってもよい。
この場合、一のユニット体と一の調整部材によって構造体を形成し、部材境界部163が2つの支柱部材の双方から遊技機島の長手方向(支柱部材の並列方向)で離れた位置に形成されるように構造体を取り付けてもよい。すなわち、2つの支柱部材の一方にユニット体を固定し、他方に調整部材を固定する構造であってもよい。
Also, the number of support members on the game machine island may be appropriately changed to two or more. For example, the game machine island may have two support members.
In this case, one unit body and one adjustment member form a structure, and the member boundary portion 163 is formed at a position separated from both of the two support members in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island (parallel direction of the support members). The structure may be attached as shown. That is, the structure may be such that the unit body is fixed to one of the two support members and the adjustment member is fixed to the other.

また、上記した実施形態では、遊技機島1の内部空間であり、2つの上側連結構造体37の間に形成される空間に補給樋等の流路形成部材を設けた例について説明した。すなわち、上側連結構造体37の内側に形成される内部空間において、遊技機島1の長手方向に沿って延びる流路形成部材を配する例について説明した。
同様に、下側連結構造体38の内側に形成される内部空間においてもまた、遊技機島1の長手方向に沿って延びる流路形成部材(アウトレール)を配する例について説明した。
Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which a channel forming member such as a supply gutter is provided in the space formed between the two upper connecting structures 37, which is the internal space of the game machine island 1, has been described. That is, an example in which the passage forming member extending along the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1 is arranged in the internal space formed inside the upper connecting structure 37 has been described.
Similarly, in the internal space formed inside the lower connecting structure 38, an example in which the passage forming member (outrail) extending along the longitudinal direction of the game machine island 1 is arranged has been described.

ここで、これら流路形成部材は、上側連結構造体37、下側連結構造体38に直接固定されてもよく、他部材を介して間接的に固定されていてもよい。例えば、図39で示されるように、2つの上側連結構造体37や2つの下側連結構造体38に対して補助連結部材800を固定し、この補助連結部材800に流路形成部材を固定してもよい。 Here, these flow path forming members may be directly fixed to the upper connecting structure 37 and the lower connecting structure 38, or may be indirectly fixed via other members. For example, as shown in FIG. 39, an auxiliary connecting member 800 is fixed to two upper connecting structures 37 and two lower connecting structures 38, and a channel forming member is fixed to this auxiliary connecting member 800. may

補助連結部材800は、断面形状が略コ字状で遊技機島1の長手方向に延びる長尺部材である。具体的には、流路形成部材を載置するための平板状の本体板部800aと、それぞれ立板状の第一取付板部800b、第二取付板部800cを有する。
第一取付板部800b、第二取付板部800cは、本体板部800aの短手方向における両端部分のそれぞれと連続しており、本体板部800aの上面よりも上方に突出するように延びる立板状部分である。
すなわち、第一取付板部800bと第二取付板部800cが遊技機島1の短手方向で離間対向しており、第一取付板部800bと第二取付板部800cの間であって本体板部800aの上方に三方を囲まれた空間が形成されている。
The auxiliary connecting member 800 is an elongated member having a substantially U-shaped cross section and extending in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island 1 . Specifically, it has a flat plate-like body plate portion 800a for mounting the flow path forming member, and a first plate-like mounting plate portion 800b and a second mounting plate portion 800c, respectively.
The first mounting plate portion 800b and the second mounting plate portion 800c are continuous with both end portions in the short direction of the main body plate portion 800a, and extend upward from the upper surface of the main body plate portion 800a. It is a plate-like portion.
That is, the first mounting plate portion 800b and the second mounting plate portion 800c are opposed to each other in the lateral direction of the game machine island 1, and the main body is located between the first mounting plate portion 800b and the second mounting plate portion 800c. A space surrounded on three sides is formed above the plate portion 800a.

そして、補助連結部材800を2つの下側連結構造体38に対して固定する際には、第一取付板部800bを一方の下側連結構造体38に対して固定し、第二取付板部800cを他方の下側連結構造体38に対して固定する。詳細には、第一取付板部800b、第二取付板部800cの外側面をそれぞれ別の下側連結構造体38の内側部分と接触させ、これらを適宜な固定手段で一体に固定する。
つまり、遊技機島1の下側部分に形成される内部空間において、遊技機島1の短手方向における一端側に隣接する一部材と、他端側に隣接する他部材を連結するように補助連結部材800が取り付けられる。言い換えると、この内部空間を挟んで対向する位置にある二部材を連結するように補助連結部材800が取り付けられる。
When fixing the auxiliary connecting member 800 to the two lower connecting structures 38, the first mounting plate portion 800b is fixed to one of the lower connecting structures 38, and the second mounting plate portion 800c is secured to the other lower connecting structure 38; Specifically, the outer surfaces of the first mounting plate portion 800b and the second mounting plate portion 800c are brought into contact with the inner portion of the separate lower connecting structure 38, and fixed together by appropriate fixing means.
In other words, in the internal space formed in the lower part of the game machine island 1, one member adjacent to one end side in the short direction of the game machine island 1 and another member adjacent to the other end side are assisted to be connected. A connecting member 800 is attached. In other words, the auxiliary connecting member 800 is attached so as to connect two members facing each other across the internal space.

このように2つの下側連結構造体38に対して補助連結部材800を固定することで、2つの下側連結構造体38が補助連結部材800を介して連結される。このことにより、遊技機島1の下側部分の強度向上を図ることができる。
つまり、補助連結部材800は、流路形成部材を固定するための部材として機能すると共に、遊技機島1の強度を向上させる補強部材としても機能する。
また、補助連結部材800が遊技機島1の内部空間で底板として機能することで、島内に流入した異物等がさらなる下方側へ落下すること(例えば、内部空間の下端部分まで落下すること)を防止できる。
By fixing the auxiliary connecting member 800 to the two lower connecting structures 38 in this way, the two lower connecting structures 38 are connected via the auxiliary connecting member 800 . As a result, the strength of the lower portion of the game machine island 1 can be improved.
In other words, the auxiliary connecting member 800 functions as a member for fixing the passage forming member, and also functions as a reinforcing member for improving the strength of the game machine island 1 .
In addition, since the auxiliary connecting member 800 functions as a bottom plate in the internal space of the game machine island 1, it is possible to prevent foreign objects and the like that have flowed into the island from falling further downward (for example, falling to the lower end of the internal space). can be prevented.

補助連結部材800を2つの上側連結構造体37に対して固定する際も同様に、第一取付板部800b、第二取付板部800cの外側面をそれぞれ別の上側連結構造体37の内側部分と接触させ、これらを適宜な固定手段で一体に固定する。
つまり、遊技機島1の上側部分に形成される内部空間においてもまた、この内部空間を挟んで対向する位置にある二部材を連結するように補助連結部材800が取り付けられる。このことにより、上記と同様に、遊技機島1の上側部分の強度向上を図ることができる。
Similarly, when the auxiliary connecting member 800 is fixed to the two upper connecting structures 37, the outer surfaces of the first mounting plate portion 800b and the second mounting plate portion 800c are attached to the inner portions of the different upper connecting structures 37, respectively. are brought into contact with each other and fixed together by appropriate fixing means.
In other words, in the inner space formed in the upper part of the game machine island 1, the auxiliary connecting member 800 is also attached so as to connect two members facing each other across the inner space. As a result, the strength of the upper portion of the game machine island 1 can be improved in the same manner as described above.

上記した実施形態では、上側連結構造体37、下側連結構造体38を予め形成し、その後に複数の支柱部材30に対して固定する例について説明した。しかしながら、本発明はこれに限るものではない。 In the embodiment described above, an example in which the upper connecting structure 37 and the lower connecting structure 38 are formed in advance and then fixed to the plurality of support members 30 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

例えば、構造体を支柱部材に固定する際、構造体を構成するユニット体、調整部材から選択される部材を一つずつ支柱部材30又は隣接する他部材に固定してもよい。すなわち、構造体形成工程と構造体固定工程(上側構造体固定工程、下側構造体固定工程)は並行して実施してもよい。
具体的に説明すると、ユニット体、調整部材のいずれかから選択される一部材(以下、構成部材とも称す)を支柱部材に固定する。その後、他の構成部材を他の支柱部材と隣接する構成部材の少なくとも一方に対して固定する。以下同様に、構成部材を一つずつ固定する作業を実施していくといった具合である。
For example, when fixing the structure to the support member, the members selected from the unit bodies and adjustment members constituting the structure may be fixed one by one to the support member 30 or other adjacent members. That is, the structure forming step and the structure fixing step (upper structure fixing step, lower structure fixing step) may be performed in parallel.
Specifically, one member selected from either the unit body or the adjustment member (hereinafter also referred to as a structural member) is fixed to the support member. The other component is then secured to at least one of the other strut member and the adjacent component. In the same way, the work of fixing the constituent members one by one is carried out.

上記した実施形態では、上側連結構造体37を取り付ける際、第一支柱部材50の一部である第一上側取付部56(図3等参照)と、上側連結構造体37の上下連結部材98の一つ(図23参照)とを重ね合わせ、これらを一体に固定した。また、第二支柱部材51の第一固定片部86と第二固定片部87とに、上側連結構造体37の上側部分と下側部分をそれぞれ固定した。しかしながら、本発明はこれに限るものではない。 In the above-described embodiment, when attaching the upper connection structure 37, the first upper attachment portion 56 (see FIG. 3 etc.), which is a part of the first strut member 50, and the vertical connection member 98 of the upper connection structure 37 One (see FIG. 23) was superimposed and fixed together. Also, the upper portion and the lower portion of the upper connecting structure 37 are fixed to the first fixing piece portion 86 and the second fixing piece portion 87 of the second strut member 51, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

例えば、図40で示されるように、複数の支柱部材830(荷重支持部材)に対して上側連結構造体837(外壁保持部材、構造体)を吊り下げ固定し、複数の支柱部材830によって上側連結構造体837の荷重(垂直荷重)を支持する構造としてもよい。 For example, as shown in FIG. 40, an upper connecting structure 837 (outer wall holding member, structure) is suspended and fixed to a plurality of strut members 830 (load supporting members), and the plurality of strut members 830 are used to connect the upper side. A structure that supports the load (vertical load) of the structure 837 may be employed.

すなわち、それぞれの支柱部材830の上側に形成される上側取付部856が、上下方向に延びる連結部856aと、連結部856aの上端部分と連続する係合取付部856bを有する構造とする。
そして、係合取付部856bは、遊技機島の短手方向で外側に向かって突出する平板状部分と、平板状部分の突出端から下方に延びる立板状部分を有する構造とする。そして、係合取付部856bの立板状部分は、連結部856aの外側端部に位置する立板状部分と遊技機島の短手方向で離間対向するように形成する。
すなわち、連結部856aの立板状部分と、係合取付部856bの平板状部分と、係合取付部856bの立板状部分とが略コ字状に連続するように形成する。このことにより、これらによって三方を囲まれた係合凹部857が形成され、この係合凹部857が、上方に凸となるように窪んだ凹部となる。
In other words, the upper mounting portion 856 formed on the upper side of each of the support members 830 has a connecting portion 856a extending in the vertical direction and an engagement mounting portion 856b continuous with the upper end portion of the connecting portion 856a.
The engaging attachment portion 856b has a flat plate-like portion projecting outward in the lateral direction of the game machine island and a vertical plate-like portion extending downward from the protruding end of the flat plate-like portion. The upright plate-like portion of the engaging attachment portion 856b is formed so as to face the upright plate-like portion positioned at the outer end of the connecting portion 856a in the lateral direction of the game machine island.
That is, the upright plate-like portion of the connecting portion 856a, the flat plate-like portion of the engagement mounting portion 856b, and the upright plate-like portion of the engagement mounting portion 856b are formed so as to be continuous in a substantially U-shape. As a result, an engaging recess 857 surrounded on three sides by these is formed, and this engaging recess 857 becomes a recess recessed so as to protrude upward.

そして、この係合凹部857に上側連結構造体837の上側部分を挿入し、これらを係合させた上で、これらに締結要素を挿通して一体に固定する。このとき、締結要素は、挿通方向が上下方向となるように挿通する。
すなわち、上側連結構造体837を支柱部材830に固定する際、必ずしも支柱部材830の一部が上側連結構造体837の下方側から接触する必要はない。しかしながら、上側連結構造体837をより強固且つ安定させた状態で取り付けるという観点から、上記実施形態における上側連結構造体37の固定構造を採用することがより好ましい。
Then, the upper portion of the upper connecting structure 837 is inserted into the engaging recess 857 to engage them, and then a fastening element is inserted through them to fix them integrally. At this time, the fastening element is inserted so that the insertion direction is the vertical direction.
That is, when the upper connecting structure 837 is fixed to the support member 830, it is not necessary for a portion of the support member 830 to come into contact with the upper connecting structure 837 from below. However, from the viewpoint of attaching the upper connecting structure 837 in a stronger and more stable state, it is more preferable to adopt the fixing structure of the upper connecting structure 37 in the above embodiment.

上記した実施形態では、上側連結構造体37を複数の支柱部材30に固定する際、それぞれ離れた位置にある複数の支柱部材30に対して上側連結構造体37を固定した。すなわち、上側連結構造体37の長手方向で離れた複数個所をそれぞれ別の支柱部材30に接触させ、固定した。しかしながら、本発明はこれに限るものではない。 In the above-described embodiment, when fixing the upper connecting structure 37 to the plurality of strut members 30, the upper connecting structure 37 is fixed to the plurality of strut members 30 at separate positions. That is, a plurality of locations separated in the longitudinal direction of the upper connecting structure 37 were brought into contact with different strut members 30 and fixed. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

例えば、図41で示されるように、複数の支柱部材930(荷重支持部材)において、上記した上側取付部(第一上側取付部56、第二上側取付部80)に替わって、複数の支柱部材930のそれぞれと連続するフレーム部材956を設けてもよい。
フレーム部材956は、遊技機島の長手方向に延びる長尺体であり、一部が一の支柱部材930に対して一体に固定され、長手方向における位置が異なる他部が他の支柱部材930に対して一体に固定される部材である。すなわち、フレーム部材956は、2以上の支柱部材930に固定される部材である。
For example, as shown in FIG. 41, in a plurality of strut members 930 (load supporting members), instead of the above-described upper mounting portions (first upper mounting portion 56, second upper mounting portion 80), a plurality of strut members A frame member 956 may be provided contiguous with each of 930 .
The frame member 956 is an elongated body extending in the longitudinal direction of the game machine island. It is a member that is fixed integrally with respect to. That is, the frame member 956 is a member fixed to two or more strut members 930 .

そして、このフレーム部材956に対し、上側連結構造体937(外壁保持部材、構造体)を載置し、これらに締結要素を挿通して一体に固定する。このとき、締結要素は、挿通方向が上下方向となるように挿通する。
すなわち、上側連結構造体937は、フレーム部材956を介して複数の支柱部材930に固定され、複数の支柱部材930によって荷重(垂直荷重)を支持される部材であってもよい。
Then, the upper connecting structure 937 (outer wall holding member, structure) is placed on the frame member 956, and fastening elements are inserted through them to integrally fix them. At this time, the fastening element is inserted so that the insertion direction is the vertical direction.
That is, the upper connecting structure 937 may be a member that is fixed to the plurality of strut members 930 via the frame member 956 and that supports the load (vertical load) by the plurality of strut members 930 .

なお、全ての支柱部材930を一のフレーム部材956で連結し、このフレーム部材956の上に上側連結構造体937を載置してもよい。その一方で、より長さの短い複数のフレーム部材956を遊技機島の長手方向で並列配置し、これらの上に上側連結構造体937を載置してもよい。
すなわち、上側連結構造体937を載置するフレーム部材は、一部材であってもよく、複数の部材を並列して形成されてもよい。
また、フレーム部材は、図41で示されるように、上側連結構造体937の下面の一部が載置されてもよく、下面全体が載置されてもよい。
Note that all the strut members 930 may be connected by one frame member 956 and the upper connection structure 937 may be placed on this frame member 956 . On the other hand, a plurality of shorter frame members 956 may be arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine island, and the upper connecting structure 937 may be placed thereon.
That is, the frame member on which the upper connecting structure 937 is placed may be a single member, or may be formed by arranging a plurality of members.
Also, as shown in FIG. 41, the frame member may rest on a portion of the lower surface of the upper connecting structure 937, or may rest on the entire lower surface.

また、上記した実施形態では、第二上側取付部80が第一固定片部86と第二固定片部87を備えた構造である例を示した。
すなわち、上記した上側取付部(第二上側取付部80)は、上側上板部と上下方向で重なる第一固定片(平板状部86c)と、上側下板部と上下方向で重なる第二固定片(平板状部87b)とを有するものとした。そして、上側上板部及び第一固定片と、上側下板部及び第二固定片のそれぞれは、締結要素が上下方向に挿通されて一体に固定されたものとした。
しかしながら、上側取付部は、第一固定片部86と第二固定片部87を備えたものに限るものではない。
Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the second upper mounting portion 80 has a structure including the first fixing piece portion 86 and the second fixing piece portion 87 is shown.
That is, the above-described upper mounting portion (second upper mounting portion 80) includes a first fixing piece (flat plate portion 86c) overlapping the upper upper plate portion in the vertical direction, and a second fixing piece overlapping the upper lower plate portion in the vertical direction. and a piece (flat plate portion 87b). The upper upper plate portion and the first fixing piece and the upper upper and lower plate portion and the second fixing piece are integrally fixed by inserting the fastening element in the vertical direction.
However, the upper mounting portion is not limited to having the first fixing piece portion 86 and the second fixing piece portion 87 .

例えば、第一固定片部86、第二固定片部87を設けず、連結体部85と上側連結構造体37を遊技機島の短手方向で重ね合わせ、これらに締結要素を挿通して固定してもよい。このとき、締結要素は、挿通方向が水平方向となるように挿通する。
このような構造では、上側連結構造体37の支柱部材への取り付け時に、上側連結構造体37の長手方向全域を支柱部材との接触位置とすることができる。つまり、上記したように、上側上板部の下面と上側下板部の上面を接触位置する構成では、これらの下面と上面のうちで上下連結部材98と接触する部分(平面視で上下連結部材98と重なる部分)は、支柱部材との接触位置とすることができない。つまり、上側連結構造体37の長手方向における各位置のうち、上下連結部材98が形成されている位置は、支柱部材との接触位置とすることができない。そのため、場合によっては、上下連結部材98を切断して取り外したり、上下連結部材98の一部を加工したりする必要がある。
これに対し、上記した第一固定片部86、第二固定片部87を形成しない構造によると、上下連結部材98の形成位置がいずれの位置であっても、特段の加工なく取り付けが可能となる。
For example, without providing the first fixing piece portion 86 and the second fixing piece portion 87, the connecting body portion 85 and the upper connecting structure 37 are overlapped in the lateral direction of the game machine island, and the fastening element is inserted and fixed. You may At this time, the fastening element is inserted so that the insertion direction is the horizontal direction.
In such a structure, when the upper connecting structure 37 is attached to the support member, the entire longitudinal direction of the upper connecting structure 37 can be used as a contact position with the support member. That is, as described above, in the configuration in which the lower surface of the upper upper plate portion and the upper surface of the upper lower plate portion are in contact with each other, the portion of the lower surface and the upper surface that contacts the vertical connection member 98 (the vertical connection member in a plan view) 98) cannot be a contact position with the strut member. That is, of the positions in the longitudinal direction of the upper connecting structure 37, the position where the upper and lower connecting members 98 are formed cannot be the contact position with the support member. Therefore, depending on the case, it may be necessary to cut and remove the vertical connection member 98 or to process a part of the vertical connection member 98 .
On the other hand, according to the structure in which the first fixing piece portion 86 and the second fixing piece portion 87 are not formed, the upper and lower connecting members 98 can be attached at any position without special processing. Become.

なお、このように第一固定片部86、第二固定片部87を形成しない場合、上側連結構造体37は、補助補強板部材99を形成しない構造とすることが考えられる。またこの場合、上側取付部は、連結体部85に替わって、上下方向に延びる板状体や、筒状体、柱状体等を採用することができる。
つまり、上側取付部は、上側連結構造体37の内側に配される添設体(上側添設体)であればよい。そして、この添設体を上側連結構造体37の内側から接触させ、さらに内側から締結要素を水平方向に挿通し、固定してもよい。
In addition, when the first fixing piece portion 86 and the second fixing piece portion 87 are not formed in this way, the upper connecting structure 37 may have a structure in which the auxiliary reinforcing plate member 99 is not formed. In this case, instead of the connecting body portion 85, a vertically extending plate-like body, a cylindrical body, a columnar body, or the like can be adopted as the upper mounting portion.
In other words, the upper mounting portion may be an attachment body (upper attachment body) arranged inside the upper connection structure 37 . Then, the attachment body may be brought into contact with the upper connecting structure 37 from the inside, and the fastening element may be horizontally inserted from the inside to fix the attachment.

上記した実施形態では、上側連結構造体37に幕板部材42を回動可能に取り付けた(図27参照)。このことにより、遊技機島1を構築した際、幕板部材42を回動させることで、短手側壁部11の上方内部が外部に開放された(内部を目視可能な)状態とすることを可能なものとした。
しかしながら、上側連結構造体は、このような構造に限るものではない。
In the embodiment described above, the curtain plate member 42 is rotatably attached to the upper connection structure 37 (see FIG. 27). As a result, when the game machine island 1 is constructed, by rotating the curtain plate member 42, the upper inside of the short side wall portion 11 can be opened to the outside (the inside can be viewed). made possible.
However, the upper connecting structure is not limited to such a structure.

例えば、上記した上側連結構造体37の側壁形成部材97に替わって、上面形成部材95の上端近傍から下面形成部材96の下端近傍まで上下方向に延び、全長が上側連結構造体の全長と同方向になるように形成してもよい。
この場合、上側ユニット体、上側調整部材もまた、この上側連結構造体を長手方向で分割した形状であってもよい。さらにこの場合、上側調整部材に外壁部材を取り付けず、そのまま短手側壁部を形成してもよい。
For example, instead of the side wall forming member 97 of the upper connecting structure 37 described above, a side wall forming member 95 extends vertically from the vicinity of the upper end of the upper surface forming member 95 to the vicinity of the lower end of the lower surface forming member 96, and the total length is the same direction as the total length of the upper connecting structure. It may be formed so as to be
In this case, the upper unit body and the upper adjusting member may also have shapes obtained by dividing the upper connecting structure in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, in this case, the short side wall portions may be formed as they are without attaching the outer wall member to the upper adjusting member.
