Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine equipped with a wiring retainer for fixing wiring.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A game machine is composed of various electric parts such as a liquid crystal screen, a prize winning device, and a lamp in order to make the game contents more interesting. Especially, there are the most wirings around the symbol display device on the back surface of the game machine. Therefore, when assembling the gaming machine, during transportation, or when performing repair or the like, troubles such as mistakenly pulling out or cutting the wirings occur.

[0003]

In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to bundle the wires as much as possible, and they are tied together using a binding tool. This tying device has a nylon band, and when a threaded portion formed on the nylon band is inserted into the coupling hole, the threaded portion prevents the withdrawal. However, the wiring tied with this nylon band is only tied to the wiring unless the winning device or the like has a fixed body, and it cannot be placed along the winning device or the winning ball guide plate, and is separated from the winning device or the like. State (floating state)
This may cause it to be pulled out or cut when it is caught during transportation or failure. In addition, as a binding tool for other means, a wire retainer is integrally formed on a mechanism plate and the like, and binding is performed through the retainer, but if the retainer is damaged, the mechanism plate is replaced. It is uneconomical to do. Therefore, the present invention provides a wiring retainer used for a game machine that eliminates such inconvenience.

6 is firmly locked to prevent separation. The inclined body 27b may be formed in a step shape or the like other than the linear shape.

FIG. 4 is a view showing the wiring tie 30.
(A) is a plan view of the wiring binder 30, (B) is a front view,
(C) is a rear view, (D) is a front perspective view, and (E) is a rear perspective view. The wiring tie 30 is made of a synthetic resin or the like into a thin plate rectangular shape, and a projection-like locking projection 31 is formed on the rear surface of the rear portion 30b. Notch holes 33a are formed on both sides, and as shown in FIG. 5 (G), the locking projections 31 can be easily bent back to be easily separated from the locking holes 23. Further, the entire wiring tie 30 has an elastic function and can be easily bent, and three grooves 33b are formed by knurling on both sides of the notch hole 33a.

Further, the tip portion 30 on the back surface side of the wiring binder 30 is provided.
A plurality of positioning locking portions 38 that can be locked to the locking claws 26 are formed from the a side toward the rear portion 30b, and the number of wirings to be bound (the thickness of the wirings) will be described in detail later. It is available. A plurality of protrusions 35 formed from the plurality of positioning locking portions 38 toward the rear portion 30b are formed so that the wiring tie 30 can be easily bent.
Further, although the wiring tie 30 is formed so as to be attachable to and detachable from the mounting body 20, the rear portion 30b is formed integrally with the fitting portion 20a, or is fixed to the inlet plate 22 of the fitting portion 20a. Therefore, it may be non-removable.

Next, a method of binding the wiring 13 using the wiring binding tool 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B and FIG. First, the rear portion 3 of the wiring tie 30
0b is inserted along the inlet plate 22 of the fitting portion 20a,
The locking protrusion 31 is locked in the locking hole 23 formed in the fitting portion 20a, and the wiring tie 30 together with the fitting ridges 21a and 21b is in a state in which it cannot be removed only by pulling it horizontally. Next, the bundled wires 13 are placed on the wiring tie 30 (FIG. 1 (A)) and bent to wrap the wiring tie 30 (FIG. 1 (B)), and the tip portion 30a of the wiring tie 30 is fixed. When inserted into the holding portion 20b, the positioning locking portion 38 is locked by the locking claw 26 and cannot be removed due to the elastic action of the wiring tie 30, and the wiring 13 is fixed (FIG. 5).
(A)).

It should be noted that a plurality of positioning locking portions 38 formed on the back side of the wiring tie 30 are formed, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (A) to (D) (cross-sectional views of the wire tie 30 and the mounting body 20), the number of wires to be bound (thickness) depends on the position of the positioning locking portion 38 that locks to the locking claw 26. Can be adjusted, and the bound wiring 13 is firmly bound without loosening. Further, when the number of wirings 13 is small, the tip portion 30a of the wiring tie 30 hits the bottom surface 27 when the number of the wirings 13 is small due to the inclined body 27b formed on the bottom surface 27 of the holding portion 20b, as shown in FIGS. The reaction force works,
The positioning locking portion 38 can be firmly locked to the locking claw 26 to prevent separation. As described above, the wiring tie 3
0 and the mounting body 20 can be tightly bound according to the number of wirings 13 to be bound by a simple operation of inserting the wiring tie 30 into the mounting body 20 (fitting portion 20a, holding portion 20b).

Further, when the wiring 13 bound by the wiring binding tool 30 is removed for repair or the like, FIG.
This will be described with reference to (E) to (F) (cross-sectional views of the wiring binder 30 and the mounting body 20). First, as shown in FIG. 5E, the wiring tie 30 is pressed to disengage the positioning engagement portion 38 from the engagement claw 26. In this detaching operation, if a rod or the like is inserted through the gap 28, the positioning engaging portion 38 is easily detached from the engaging claw 26. Then, when the wiring binder 30 is separated from the locking claw 26, the elastic action causes the wiring binder 30 to be substantially linear as shown in FIG. 5 (F), so that the wiring 13 can be replaced. Then, when the wires 13 are bound again, by inserting the tip end portion 30a of the wire binding tool 30 into the holding portion 20b, the locking claws 26 and the positioning locking portion 38 can fix the wiring 13.

The wiring binder 30 has a fitting portion 20a.
It is designed to be removable from the
As shown in FIG. 5 (G), the wiring binder 30 is pushed up from the back surface side to disengage the locking protrusions 31 from the locking holes 23, and then the wiring binder 30 is pulled out.
Further, it goes without saying that the wiring tie 30 and the mounting body 20 can be applied in various fields other than the game machine.
