Description

  The present invention relates to a trolley for carrying a ball box for storing pachinko balls.

  Conventionally, the balls that are released from the pachinko machine due to winning a prize are stored in a ball holder provided on the pachinko machine, but if there are too many balls to be stored in the ball holder, a separately prepared cardboard box can be ordered and stored. To do. In addition, if there are too many balls to be stored in the ball box, a new ball box is obtained and stored. When a large number of balls are played, they are stored in a large number of ball boxes. A box containing these balls is placed on the floor near the seat.

  In pachinko parlors, appealing good appearance and vibrancy is the most important business measure, as it recognizes customers as good stores that can expect a lot of appearance. Therefore, the plurality of ball boxes placed on the floor are not placed low in parallel one by one, but placed high in order to visually stand out and give the impression that the balls are good.

After the game is over, the ball box is transported to the counter by the store clerk or the player, and the number of balls stored is measured. However, the ball box is about 10kg and is heavy, so it is difficult to carry it especially for women without power. Even if one box can be carried, if there are multiple boxes, the ball box is placed on a play cart and transported to the counter due to the risk of dropping the ball box or because it cannot be carried once. The play cart has a plurality of casters fixed to the lower surface of the loading table as a moving means, and the loading table is formed in a substantially rectangular shape that is larger than a large ball box so that a wide variety of ball boxes can be accommodated. . Game carts are rarely ordered after play, and when a plurality of ball boxes are placed in the vicinity of the seat, the store clerk places the ball boxes as close to the seat as possible. The reason for this is that when placing a ball box on a play cart, the position of the ball box rises from the floor and stands out visually, appealing for good play and a vibrant economy. It is to become.

  Conventionally, a play cart is one or more times larger than a large ball box, so it may not be placed near the seat. Especially in pachinko halls where the space between seats and islands is narrow, it is difficult because there is no space. At least it is not possible to place a play cart in all the seats adjacent to the left and right rear.

  In addition, when carrying a ball box on a play cart and transporting it to the counter, there are many obstacles such as the passage between the islands being narrow and other play carts and player's luggage being placed, so as not to touch these obstacles It is difficult to carry, and there is a problem that it takes a great deal of physical and mental power, such as moving obstacles and paying close attention.

  Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to appeal to the best sales strategy, which is the most important sales measure, and a vibrant shop, which can be placed in the vicinity of the seat without any hindrance, and transports the ball box to the counter without touching obstacles. It is another object of the present invention to provide a play cart that can be used at a low cost and is easy to handle.

  The play cart of the present invention has a shape that approximates the shape of the play cart in order to be able to appeal a good ball and to obtain the maximum compactness. Specifically, the play cart has the same or almost the same shape as the ball box except for the bottom, and the bottom has an approximate shape by providing casters as moving means. That is, it is set as the shape which connected the base for movement with which the several caster was fixed to the lower surface of the ball box.

  More preferably, the number of parts is minimized to obtain good quality, productivity, and cost reduction. That is, as a method for connecting only one moving base, in which four casters are fixed to a stacking base integrally formed of synthetic resin, and connecting the moving base to a ball box. Without using any parts, the moving base and the ball box are connected and installed on the lower surface of the ball box by a connecting means provided integrally.

  In addition, the play cart has a shape more similar to a ball box, and the ball boxes overlap each other in order to improve the loadability between the play cart and the ball box and the loadability between the play carts. The moving base is made to be stored in the opening of the ball box. That is, it is preferable that the ball box has an inclination that narrows from the opening to the bottom surface, and the ball boxes are fitted and stacked, and the moving base is placed in the opening of the ball box with the casters down.

  In addition, the game is designed so that the ball box loaded on the play cart does not sink too much into the play cart and the ball box is loaded on the ball box containing a large number of balls. It is preferable to provide a receiving plate for loading and holding the ball box at the opening of the carriage.

  According to the play cart of the present invention, if the play cart is loaded on the play cart in the same or almost the same shape as the play cart except for the bottom, the customer loads the play box on the play box. As a result, it is possible to appeal a vibrant store by imagining a good appearance of one box. It is also possible to connect the moving base directly to the ball box in which the ball is stored. In this case, the used ball box becomes the play cart as it is. If you place the play cart that contains this ball on the floor, the position of the ball box will rise, so you can appeal the outstanding ball, and of course you can carry the ball box to the counter without any trouble.

  Due to the compactness, the width and length of the play cart are almost the same size as the ball box, the play cart can be placed near the seat, and the ball box is loaded. At the same time, by placing it near the seat here, as mentioned above, a very strong appearance and a lively image are created, and it is recognized as a good store where a large amount of appearance can be expected, and the biggest sales measure Is obtained. Furthermore, the ball box can be transported to the counter without touching the obstacle.

Furthermore, according to the game cart of claim 2, quality, management, and productivity are improved and the cost is reduced by minimizing the number of parts.

Furthermore, according to the play cart of claim 3, since the play cart is shaped to be loaded on the ball box, the play cart has a shape more similar to the ball box, By improving the loadability between game carts, the stability of the ball box when it is transported is stable, the operability is extended so that the game cart can be placed on the ball box, and the game carts It is easy to handle and can be stored compactly.

Further, according to the play cart of claim 4, since the ball box is slightly fitted and loaded from the opening of the play cart, it is as if the ball box is placed on the ball box in which the ball is fully stored. You can appeal to the vibrant store with the best appearance and the image that is loaded.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the play cart 1 is formed by connecting a moving base 3 to a lower surface of a ball box 2 by connecting means 6.

  The moving base 3 is formed by installing a plurality of casters 4 on a substantially rectangular loading table on which the ball box 2 is placed, and the plurality of moving bases 3 can be connected to the lower surface of the ball box 2. Considering the ease and speed of connection, the total cost, etc., a configuration in which one moving base 3 is installed on the lower surface of the ball box 2 in which four casters 4 are fixed on the front and rear of the loading base. Is good. The shape of the moving base 3 is preferably a smooth shape that does not cause a protrusion or a step when connected to the ball box 2, because the play cart 1 approximates the ball box 2. Most of the ball boxes 2 have an opening hole on the bottom surface of the ball storage part in order to eliminate static electricity charged in the ball box 2 when the stored ball is grounded, so the connecting means 6 uses the opening hole. This is simple and can be used for the play cart 1 without changing the shape of the ball box 2 that has been used in the past. The fitting protrusion that fits and locks the opening hole on the moving base 3 Should be installed. Since the opening hole is usually circular, the connecting means 6 may have a shape in which a central portion of the cylinder is cut out to have a spring property and a locking portion that locks to the bottom surface of the protruding ball storage portion. In addition, the present ball box 2 is often formed as a raised bottom as a business measure in order to make it appear that a small amount of balls are contained in the ball box 2 in large quantities. It is preferable to fit and use surfaces such as the opening holes and the circumferential ribs on the lower surface of the ball box because stronger connectivity can be obtained with respect to the external force in the front-rear and left-right directions. In this case, a large external force does not act on the fitting means 6, and it is sufficient if the fitting base 6 has a fitting strength that prevents the moving base 3 from falling off when the game carriage 1 is lifted up. It will be wide. The connected ball box 2 and the moving base 3 are unlocked if the connecting means 6 of the moving base 3 is pressed from the exit ball storage portion side of the ball box 2 using a cylindrical jig or the like. The ball box 2 and the moving base 3 can be easily separated. The caster 4 has wheels and balls held on a metal plate or the like, and may be manufactured, but a wide variety of items are commercially available at low prices, so an appropriate one may be selected. The selected caster 4 is fixed to the moving base 3 by the fixing means 7. Various fixing means 7 are conceivable, but using screws is appropriate in terms of durability and cost. If one of the four casters 4 (two) is a fixed type in which the axle does not bend, and the other set is a rotary type in which the axle is bent, the straight path and the rotational performance can be achieved and a narrow path can be achieved. It is preferable because it can move accurately.

  The ball box 2 can be made of various materials such as wood. Conventionally, injection molding using a thermoplastic resin is preferable in terms of design and cost, and particularly, it has good translucency, rigidity, and is popular and popular. A PC or the like may be used. Although the loading base of the moving base 3 can be made of stainless steel or the like, it is preferable to perform injection molding using the same material as the ball box 2 because it approximates the ball box 2 in terms of atmosphere.

  6 and 7, the shape of the ball box 2 has an inclination that narrows from the opening portion 5 toward the bottom surface of the protruding ball storage portion, and the shape of the ball boxes stacked on each other, while the shape of the moving base 3 is the caster 4. It is preferable to have a smooth appearance line connected to the ball box 2 stored in the opening 5 below. Specifically, the inclination is appropriately about 4 to 10 ° in terms of function and design.

  Referring to FIG. 8, the carton 1 is loaded with the carton 2 and the carton 2 is well fitted and loaded as described above. FIG. 9 is a comparative view in which three ball boxes 2 are loaded, with the right side using the play cart 1 of the present invention and the left side using a conventional play cart. The game cart 1 of the present invention appears to be loaded with four ball carts 2 because the game cart 1 looks like a ball box 2 and clearly has one more good ball than the conventional game cart 1. It appeals to a vibrant store that has an image. Moreover, since the game cart 1 of the present invention is one or more times smaller than the conventional product, the ability to carry the ball box 2 without hitting an obstacle in a narrow passage is clear.

  10 to 12, the receiving plate 8 is loaded and installed in the opening 5 of the ball box 2, and the ball box 2 is loaded on the play cart 1 without sinking. In other words, the receiving plate 8 may be designed such that the ball box 2 is loaded in the opening of the play cart 1 so that the ball 2 can be seen as if it is fully stored. Although the receiving plate 8 can be formed of various materials, it is not necessary to appeal, so if it is formed of the same material as the ball box 2 by injection molding, it is not noticeable. Furthermore, the receiving plate 8 can be loaded on the ball box 2 and stacked in the same manner.

  Referring to FIG. 13, a wedge-shaped fitting protrusion formed integrally with the moving base 3 provided on the moving base 3 and a substantially rectangular fitting hole provided on the ball box 2 are connected to the connecting means 6. It is the cart 1 for play of Example 2 which is. The connected ball box 2 and the moving base 3 can be easily separated by sandwiching the connecting means 6 of the moving base 3 by hand or the like so that the ball box 2 and the moving base 3 can be easily separated. .

  Referring to FIG. 14, the wedge-shaped fitting protrusion formed integrally with the moving base 3 provided on the moving base 3 and the fitting groove provided at the lower side of the side of the ball box 2 are connected to the connecting means 6. It is the cart 1 for play of Example 3 which is. This is an example in which a fitting hole is not provided in the bottom surface of the ball storage part of the ball box 2. Thus, there are various fitting means, and it is sufficient to use another part such as a magnet or an adhesive tape if it is appropriate depending on the use conditions.
