[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product storage container housed in a body of a lifting game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, hoisting game machines or vending machines have used spherical or cocoon-shaped transparent hollow containers for storing products of a specific size.

[0003] The above transparent hollow container is formed by molding a transparent synthetic resin so that there are no holes or irregularities on the surface of the container. Therefore, it is convenient for an apparatus having a predetermined delivery mechanism such as a vending machine. However, when using it on a lifting game machine, even if you try to lift it by hooking it on the hook of a crane, there is no unevenness,
Easy to slide down. Especially when the crane has only two hooks, it is almost impossible to lift it.
There was a disadvantage that the game performance was impaired.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides a product storage container that can be lifted by a crane having only two hooks when used in a lifting game machine. It is intended for.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a product storage container housed in a body of a lifting game machine has the following configuration. (A) The container body is formed by fitting two hemispherical shells made of a transparent material, and a substantially spherical product storage section is formed inside. (B) A plurality of holes or recesses to be hooked on hooks of a crane of a lifting game machine are formed on an outer surface of the container body.

According to the invention of claim 2, the product storage container housed in the body of the lifting game machine has the following configuration. (A) The container body is formed by fitting two hemispherical shells made of a transparent material, and a substantially spherical product storage section is formed inside. (B) A plurality of holes or recesses to be hooked on hooks of a crane of a lifting game machine are formed at least at opposing positions on the outer surface of the container body.

[0007]

The product storage container according to the first and second aspects of the present invention has a substantially spherical product storage portion formed in the main body, so that the product can be stored therein, and the contents of the product can be stored. It can be seen through the body made of transparent material.

[0008] The above-mentioned merchandise storage container is housed in the body of a lifting game machine. When the gamer operates the lifting game machine to move the crane, which is in the product discharge position in the initial state, in the front-rear direction and the lateral direction to the upper part of the predetermined product storage container, the opened hook comes down. Then, the hook is closed at a position where it comes into contact with the product storage container, and is then automatically pulled up to lift a predetermined product storage container.
Further, the crane automatically returns to the original product discharge position, the hook is opened, and the product storage container is dropped to the product discharge position.

Since the commodity storage container has a plurality of holes or recesses formed on the outer surface of the container body, even if the crane has two hooks, it can be hooked on these holes or recesses and can be easily lifted. Can be Further, when a plurality of holes or recesses are formed at least at opposing positions on the outer surface of the container body, the pair of opposing hooks is more easily hooked.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body of a product storage container. The container body 1 is formed in a hollow spherical shape by fitting hemispherical shells 11 and 12 formed by molding a transparent synthetic resin. Necessary products such as stuffed toys and small toys are stored in a substantially spherical product storage part in the container body 1. In the molding of the cavities 11, 12, a hole 2a is provided in the center of the curved surface of the shell 11,
The shell 12 has a recess 2b at a position facing the hole 2a.

[0011] The container body 1 of the commodity storage container of the above embodiment.
In the, a product such as a stuffed toy is stored in a product storage section, and is stored in the body of the lifting game machine. When the gamer operates the lifting game machine to move the crane A, which is in the product discharge position in the initial state, in the front-rear direction and the lateral direction, and moves the crane A to the upper part of the predetermined container body 1 as shown in FIG. The hook a in the opened state comes down, and the hook a is closed at a position where it comes into contact with the container main body 1, and is then automatically pulled up to lift a predetermined container main body 1. Further, the crane A automatically returns to the original product discharging position, the hook a is opened, and the container body 1 is dropped to the product discharging position.

The container body 1 is formed such that a plurality of holes 2a and recesses 2b serving as hook portions are opposed to each other on the outer surface. Therefore, the hook a of the crane A
In the case where there are two hooks, the claws of the pair of hooks a can hook the holes 2a and the recesses 2b, and the container body 1 can be easily lifted so as to be clamped from both sides.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment. A plurality of recesses 3 are formed on the outer surfaces of the shells 11 and 12 of the container body 1 having the above configuration, and a pair of recesses 3a and 3b are formed at symmetrical positions with respect to each other with the center of the container body 1 interposed therebetween. I have. As described above, the plurality of recesses 3 increase the number of hooks of the hook a of the crane A, and the container body 1
Is easily lifted.

FIG. 3 shows still another embodiment. A plurality of long grooves 4 are formed on the outer surface of the shells 11 and 12 of the container body 1 having the above-described configuration, and a pair of long grooves 4a,
4b are formed symmetrically with respect to each other with the center of the container body 1 interposed therebetween. As described above, the shape of the hole or the concave portion formed on the outer surface of the container body 1 can be variously changed in addition to the circular shape.

[0015]

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, since the container body is made of a transparent material, the articles stored in the article storage section can be viewed, and the goods are stored in the body of the lifting game machine. It can be housed and turned into a prize that can be lifted. Further, since a plurality of holes or recesses are formed on the outer surface of the container main body, even if the crane of the lifting game machine has two hooks, it can be hooked on these holes or recesses, and the conventional hole or recess is completely removed. There is an effect that the product can be easily lifted without slipping down like a product storage container.

In the commodity storage container according to the second aspect of the present invention, since a plurality of holes or recesses are formed at least at opposing positions on the outer surface of the container main body, the pair of opposing hooks can be more easily hooked. There is.
