Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko ball housing case, and more particularly to a pachinko ball housing case provided with a box-shaped case main body whose upper surface is completely opened and an opening for entering and exiting a pachinko ball is formed.

  In the pachinko parlor, as shown in FIG. 11, a pachinko ball storage case 81 having a box-shaped case body 82 having an upper surface completely opened and an opening 83 for entering and exiting a pachinko ball is provided to a player (pachinko). It is used not only by (players) but also by store staff (employees). In addition to the box-shaped case main body 82, the pachinko ball housing case 81 may lay, for example, a sound-resilient elastic sheet (not shown) on the bottom of the box-shaped case main body 82.

  In the case of the pachinko ball housing case 81, the player puts a large amount of pachinko balls from the pachinko machine (pachinko machine) with a so-called jackpot and puts them in the box-shaped case body 82 from the opening 83 and keeps them until the play is over. When the game is finished and the game is finished, the pachinko ball storage case 81 in which pachinko balls are accumulated is carried to the counter, and the pachinko balls are exchanged for prizes.

  The store clerk removed the pachinko ball carried by the player in the pachinko ball housing case 81 from the opening 83 of the box-shaped case main body 82, and after counting the number of balls (by the machine), the store clerk became empty. The pachinko ball storage case 81 is placed beside a gift exchange counter. In the case of the pachinko ball housing case 81, a plurality of empty pachinko ball housing cases 81 are sometimes deferred and stacked in a mountain shape. The pachinko ball housing cases 81 may be stacked one after another in the empty state where the pachinko balls are put out, and may eventually be stacked in a mountain shape.

  Also, even in the case of pachinko machines, when the same player hits many times, pachinko ball storage cases 81 containing a large number of pachinko balls are stacked one after another, and finally piled up in a mountain shape It may become.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, in addition to the three box-shaped case main bodies 82 being arranged in parallel, two adjacent two of the three box-shaped case main bodies 82 arranged in parallel are arranged. For each box-shaped case main body 82, when another box-shaped case main body 82 is placed one after another in a state of being mounted on the two box-shaped case main bodies 82 approximately equally, a total of six pachinko ball accommodating cases 81 are piled up. The shape can be stacked and placed in a three-tiered state.

  However, in the case of the pachinko ball housing case 81 of the above-described prior art, there is a problem that the box-shaped case main body 82 that is often stacked easily slides down. If the box-shaped case body 82 slides down, the pachinko balls may jump out of the box-shaped case body 82 and dissipate on the entire floor. Furthermore, the heavy box-shaped case body 82 containing the pachinko balls is placed on the human foot. There is also a worry of falling.

  The upper box-shaped case main body 82 has a small dimensional margin for stable stacking in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the box-shaped case main bodies 82 are arranged in parallel. In addition to being made of plastic, if a large number of pachinko balls are put in the box-shaped case body 82 in a non-uniform state, even if a slight impact is applied to the pachinko ball housing case 81, the pachinko ball housing case 81 Is easy to slide down.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko ball housing case capable of preventing the stacked box-shaped case main body from easily sliding down in view of the above-described problems of the prior art.

  The above objects can be achieved by the devices described in the claims. That is, the characteristic configuration of the pachinko ball storage case according to the present invention is a pachinko ball storage case including a box-shaped case body in which an upper surface is completely opened and an opening for entering and exiting the pachinko ball is formed. In addition to the box-shaped case main bodies arranged in parallel, the two box-shaped case main bodies adjacent to each other in two adjacent box-shaped main bodies among the plurality of box-shaped case main bodies arranged in parallel are divided into substantially equal parts. In the pachinko ball housing case in which a plurality of pachinko ball housing cases can be stacked and placed in a mountain shape by sequentially placing the box-shaped case body, the box-shaped case body has an end of an opening for entering and exiting the pachinko ball. An overhanging edge projecting outward from the edge horizontally is formed, and two adjacent box-shaped case bodies among the plurality of box-shaped case bodies arranged in parallel are separated into approximately equal parts. box As the case main body is placed, the overhanging edge portions of the lower two box-shaped case main bodies engage with the bottom of the upper box-shaped case main body, so that the upper box-shaped case main body is arranged in parallel. The configuration is to prevent sliding in a direction perpendicular to the direction.

  In the case of this pachinko ball storage case, when the pachinko ball starts to be received, the pachinko ball is inserted into the box-shaped case body from the opening for entering and exiting the pachinko ball, and at the end of the reverse pachinko ball storage, The pachinko ball in the case body is taken out from the opening for entering and exiting the pachinko ball.

  In addition, when a plurality of pachinko ball storage cases are stacked in a mountain shape and installed, a plurality of box-shaped case bodies are arranged side by side, and a plurality of box-shaped case bodies arranged in parallel are adjacent to each other. For each of the two box-shaped case bodies, another box-shaped case body is put on the two box-shaped case bodies in a state where they are mounted approximately equally. Then, the pachinko ball storage cases are stacked one after another, and eventually a plurality of pachinko ball storage cases are piled up in a mountain shape and placed in a deferred state.

  And in the case of this pachinko ball housing case, the box-shaped case body is formed with a protruding edge portion that protrudes horizontally outward from the edge of the opening for pachinko ball entry and exit, and a plurality of juxtaposed As another box-shaped case body is placed on the two adjacent box-shaped case bodies, the two box-shaped case bodies on the lower side are placed. Thus, it is possible to prevent the upper box-like case body from sliding in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the parallel arrangement.

  In other words, in the pachinko ball housing case of the present invention, another box-like shape in which the pachinko ball receiving case is placed approximately equally on two adjacent box-like case bodies among a plurality of box-like case bodies arranged in parallel. After the case body is simply placed, the upper box-shaped case body does not slide in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the parallel arrangement, and then stabilizes. Therefore, even if the dimensional margin is small, it is possible to reliably avoid a situation in which the stacked box-shaped case main body slides down.

  Therefore, according to the pachinko ball housing case of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the stacked box-shaped case main body from sliding down, and a stable stacked state can be secured.

  A configuration that prevents the upper box-shaped case body from sliding in the direction of the parallel arrangement as another box-shaped case body is placed on the two adjacent box-shaped case bodies approximately equally. It is preferable to do.

  According to this configuration, another box-shaped case main body is simply placed on the two adjacent box-shaped case bodies among the plurality of box-shaped case main bodies arranged in parallel. After that, since the upper box-shaped case main body does not slide in the direction of the parallel arrangement, it is possible to more reliably avoid the situation where the stacked box-shaped case main bodies slide down.

  Each overhanging edge of the lower two box-shaped case bodies and the bottom of the upper box-shaped case main body have an engagement mechanism in which engagement is established when the concave and convex portions are fitted. May be.

  According to this configuration, the overhanging edge portions of the two lower box-shaped case bodies and the upper box-shaped case main body by the engagement mechanism having a simple structure in which the engagement is established when the concave portion and the convex portion are engaged. Can be engaged with the bottom.
