BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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 having an opening whose upper surface is completely opened and capable of entering and exiting the pachinko ball.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the pachinko parlor, a box-shaped pachinko ball housing case having an opening through which the pachinko ball can be put in and out when the upper surface is completely opened is used not only by a player (pachinko player) but also by a store clerk.
[0003]
Pachinko balls that are produced in large quantities from pachinko machines, such as so-called jackpots, are stored in a pachinko ball storage case from the opening, and set aside until play is over. Carry the storage case to the gift exchange counter. If the same player hits many times, pachinko ball storage cases packed with pachinko balls will be stacked next to the player.
[0004]
The store clerk takes out pachinko balls contained in the box-shaped case body carried by the player from the opening and counts the number (by machine), and a lot of pachinko machines are necessary for the management of the pachinko machine. When transporting a ball, the pachinko ball is carried in a pachinko ball housing case.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of the above-mentioned pachinko ball housing case, there is a problem that the sound is loud when the pachinko ball that has come out of the pachinko machine falls into the box-shaped case body. In fact, in pachinko parlors, there is a significant amount of noise when pachinko balls launched from pachinko machines enter the box-shaped case body. A slightly louder noise has the advantage of letting players know the goodness of the store service (the ball ’s appearance is better), but recently the jackpot duration has been long, and when several customers hit the ball all at once It can be so bad that it can't be tolerated, and improvements are still desired.
[0007]
In addition, the number of pachinko players has recently been declining, and the perception that pachinko parlors must strengthen their advertising to players is also spreading. Even in the pachinko industry, there is a lack of sufficient publicity, and there is a need to provide detailed information to players in a timely manner. In order to respond to such a request, an invention has been proposed in which an advertising body case is attached with rivets to upper and lower ends (side portions) of a bottom surface of a pachinko ball housing case (Patent Document 1).
[0008]
However, because it is fixed to the side of the pachinko ball housing case of the advertising body case, the advertising body case position of the pachinko ball housing case is below the player's line of sight, so the advertisement is never easy to see, and the advertisement However, there is a problem that it is not necessarily functioning effectively.
[0009]
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its problem is that it can be placed at a position where an advertisement can be easily seen in the pachinko ball housing case, and noise accompanying the fall of the pachinko ball can be suppressed. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pachinko ball housing case capable of strengthening advertisements while giving consideration to pachinko players.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The above-mentioned subject is achieved by the invention described in each claim. That is, the pachinko ball storage case according to the present invention has a box-like case main body made of a hard resin that has a raised bottom so that the center of the bottom is raised and has an opening that allows the pachinko ball to enter and exit the upper surface, With a transparent soft plastic sheet that is detachably laid and fixed to the bottom of the box-shaped case body,
Locking holes are formed in at least two locations on the raised bottom of the box-shaped case body, and locking claws are provided at the tips of at least two locations on the back side of the soft plastic sheet so as to correspond to the locking holes. The elastically deformable claw support piece is projectingly arranged, and the bottom of the box-shaped case main body is formed when the engagement of the engagement claw and the engagement hole is performed using the elasticity of the claw support piece. The soft plastic sheet is fixed to the base, and the soft claw support piece is released from the bottom of the box-shaped case body in accordance with the disengagement of the locking claw and the locking hole, which is performed using the elasticity of the claw support piece. With the configuration that the plastic sheet is engaged and disengaged,
The advertising sheet marked with an advertising notation on the back side of the transparent soft plastic sheet is configured to be replaceably loaded with the advertising notation side facing up,
The box-shaped case body is, LongWhile the side wall is composed of a smooth surface,
ShortOn the side wall,CircleConsists of an arcuate curved surfaceCorrugated irregularitiesIs formed along the inside of the wall surface on the short side,Corrugated irregularitiesIs a mountain and valley each otherReverseSo that there is a difference in shape between the left side and the right sideAnd,
It is formed on the wall on the short sideConvexA terrace-shaped surface is formed in the vicinity of the upper opening that is continuous with the surface, and when the box-shaped case main body is stacked, the bottom of the box-shaped case main body on the upper side is placed on the terrace-shaped surface. It is supposed to be placed,
The terrace-like surface has a different number on the left side and the right side, and is formed at the corner and / or the center on the short side,
A handle portion projecting outward from the vicinity of the opening in the horizontal direction from the vicinity of the opening is provided at the left and right at the upper end of the short side, and has substantially the same length at the substantially central portion of the two grip portions. The finger-hanging portions are respectively formed.
[0011]
When using the pachinko ball housing case of the present invention, a soft plastic sheet is laid and fixed on the bottom of the box-shaped case main body, and the pachinko balls are inserted and withdrawn from the opening of the box-shaped case main body. Then, since the sound when the pachinko sphere falls from the opening of the box-shaped case main body is effectively absorbed and softened by the cushioning action of the soft plastic sheet, the noise accompanying the fall of the pachinko sphere can be suppressed.
[0012]
Moreover, in the pachinko ball storage case of the present invention, when a soft plastic sheet is laid and fixed to the bottom of the box-shaped case body, an advertising sheet with an advertising notation on the back side of the transparent soft plastic sheet By placing the front side up, the promotional sheet is loaded on the back side of a transparent soft plastic sheet. Then, through the transparent soft plastic sheet, the advertising notation of the advertising sheet can be seen by the player.
[0013]
When the soft plastic sheet is fixed to the bottom of the box-shaped case body in the pachinko ball housing case of the present invention, the operator applies the locking claw on the soft plastic sheet side to the front side opening of the locking hole on the box-shaped case body side. The nail support piece is pushed into the locking hole from above the soft plastic sheet with a finger. Then, the locking claw hits the periphery of the locking hole and the claw support piece is pushed and elastically deforms, and the locking claw moves to the inside of the locking hole, so that the locking claw passes through the locking hole. When the locking claw passes through the locking hole, the force pushing the claw support piece disappears, and the locking claw moves to the outside of the locking hole and the locking claw hits the periphery of the locking hole. Engagement between the pawl and the locking hole is established. As a result of the engagement of the engagement claw and the engagement hole, the engagement claw enters the retaining state, and as a result, the soft plastic sheet is fixed to the bottom of the box-shaped case body.
[0014]
In this case, the bottom of the pachinko ball storage case is raised upward at the raised bottom where the locking hole is located, and an empty space is formed between the back side opening of the locking hole and the stationary surface of the pachinko ball storage case. Therefore, there is no possibility that the engaging claw inserted through the engaging hole hits the stationary surface to cause trouble in engagement. In addition, since the box-shaped case body is raised, even if the amount of pachinko balls entering is not so large, the box-shaped case body will be filled with pachinko balls, so the players will go out smoothly. You can fully enjoy the feeling.
[0015]
On the other hand, when removing the soft plastic sheet from the bottom of the box-shaped case body, the operator pushes the locking claw on the soft plastic sheet side to the back side of the locking hole on the box-shaped case body side with a finger. Then, the claw support piece is pushed and elastically deformed, the locking claw moves to the inside of the locking hole, the locking claw is detached from the peripheral edge of the locking hole, and at the same time, the locking claw is pushed back together with the soft plastic sheet. Since it passes through the locking hole, the engagement between the locking claw and the locking hole is quickly released. Then, as the engagement of the locking claw and the locking hole is released, the retaining state of the locking claw is eliminated. As a result, the soft plastic sheet is detached from the bottom of the box-shaped case body.
[0016]
In this way, in the case of the pachinko ball housing case of the present invention, the locking claw on the soft plastic sheet side is applied to the locking hole on the box-shaped case body side, and the box-shaped case is simply pushed from above the soft plastic sheet with a finger. In addition to being able to fix the soft plastic sheet to the bottom of the main body with a single touch, the box-shaped case main body can be simply reversed by pushing the locking claw on the soft plastic sheet to the back of the locking hole on the box-shaped main body. The soft plastic sheet can be detached from the bottom of the one-touch. As a result, it is possible to remove the soft plastic sheet, replace the advertising sheet with another advertising notation, and attach the soft plastic sheet again. Since it can be easily attached in a pressed state, the advertisement sheet can be always replaced with the latest one, and detailed information can be provided to the player in a timely manner. Moreover, there is no problem that the adhesive remains after the removal and the surface is contaminated, as in the case of gluing with an adhesive.
Moreover, just by reversing the left and right orientations of the box-shaped case body, the bottom of the box-shaped case body is fitted deeply from the opening of the other box-shaped case body, and the box-type case body is stacked, and It can be easily and selectively performed in either the stacked-type stacked state in which the bottom of the box-shaped case main body is placed on the upper surface of another box-shaped case main body and the box-shaped case main bodies are stacked. Since the fitting-type stacked state is low in volume, the space required for the pachinko store to store the pachinko ball housing case can be reduced. Since the placing-type stacked state becomes bulky, the player can fully enjoy the feeling that the player is steadily playing.
[0017]
As a result, according to the pachinko ball housing case of the present invention, it was possible to suppress the noise accompanying the fall of the pachinko ball, and at the same time, to enhance the advertisement for the pachinko player.
[0018]
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the transparent soft plastic sheet is laid with another soft plastic sheet superimposed on the back side, and the advertising sheet is loaded on the mating surface of both soft plastic sheets. In addition, the two soft plastic sheets are superposed such that the mating surfaces can be opened, and the nail support pieces are provided on the back surface of the soft plastic sheet on the back surface side.
[0019]
According to this embodiment, the advertising sheet marked with the advertising notation is set by opening the mating surfaces of the two soft plastic sheets and then closing the mating surfaces, and then the two soft plastic sheets together with the advertising sheet. Attach to the bottom of the box-shaped case body and fix. Since the advertisement sheet is sandwiched between two soft plastic sheets, the advertisement sheet is less likely to be misaligned. And the nail support piece is provided on the back side of the soft plastic sheet on the back side, and the nail support piece does not appear at all on the mating surface of both soft plastic sheets, so it is advertised anywhere on the mating surface of both soft plastic sheets Sheets can be set.
[0020]
Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is a form in which the shape of the locking hole is a square.
[0021]
According to this embodiment, the engagement state of the latching claw and the latching hole can be reliably stabilized, and any operation of inserting and removing the claw support piece can be facilitated. In particular, compared with the case where the locking hole has a narrow opening area, the locking claw can be easily inserted through the locking hole, and the binding force when removed can be reduced, so that the engagement between the locking claw and the locking hole can be reduced. Synthesizing / releasing is performed smoothly. As long as the shape of the locking hole is square, it may be triangular, quadrangular, or other polygonal shapes.
[0024]
Furthermore, as another preferred embodiment of the present invention, an edge side portion projecting outward in the horizontal direction is provided at the upper end of the box-shaped case main body, and for the weir on the front end side of the edge side portion. In addition to the fact that ridges are provided along the circumferential direction of the box-shaped case main body, the pachinko balls located on the edge-shaped portion hit the ridges for weirs and rotate into the box-shaped case main body. A form in which a slope is provided on the surface of the edge-side portion so as to roll down is exemplified.
[0025]
According to this embodiment, even if the pachinko ball that has come out of the pachinko machine and dropped on the box-shaped case body jumps and jumps out of the box-shaped case body, it hits the weir ridges and is returned to the box-shaped case body, Even if there is a pachinko ball that happens to be located on the edge-side part, it will rotate by the inclination provided on the surface of the edge-side part and naturally fall into the box-shaped case body, so the pachinko ball will spill out. Can be prevented.
[0026]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a plan view of a pachinko ball housing case according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a box-shaped case body, FIG. 3 is a plan view of a soft plastic sheet, and FIG. 4 is a front view of the soft plastic sheet.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko ball housing case shown in FIG. 1 has an oval raised central portion 1a having an opening 2 into and out of which the pachinko ball P is put in and out when the upper surface is completely released. The box-shaped case main body 1 which is raised by being bent in a shape, and two transparent soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 on the upper and lower sides are stacked and the box-shaped case main body 1 is stacked as shown in FIG. And a soft plastic sheet 3 detachably laid and fixed to the bottom.
[0028]
The box-shaped case body 1 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped having a length of about 20 cm, a width of about 40 cm, and a depth (height) of about 20 cm, and is a colorless or colored transparent hard resin, for example, a transparent plastic case made of polystyrene resin. The shape of the opening 2 is also substantially rectangular. In the case of this pachinko ball housing case, a player or the like uses the pachinko ball inserted or removed from the opening 2 of the box-shaped case body 1.
[0029]
On the other hand, the upper and lower transparent soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 constituting the soft plastic sheet 3 are all flexible plastic sheets such as polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride, and these upper and lower soft plastic sheets 4 and 5. The thickness of each is about 0.5 mm to 5 mm. As shown in FIG. 5, the upper and lower soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 are configured such that only one of the long side edges is joined in such a manner that the mating surfaces are opened. When the soft plastic sheet 3 is laid and fixed to the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1, the mating surfaces of the two transparent soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 are closed.
[0030]
The long side edge on the free end side which is a non-joined portion of the upper soft plastic sheet 4 is a bending margin 4A bent inward by 180 °, and the non-joined long side of the lower soft plastic sheet 5 When the edge is inserted into the gap between the soft plastic sheet 4 and the bending allowance 4A and the mating surfaces of the soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 are closed, the end of the unbonded long side of the soft plastic sheet 5 by the bending allowance 4A By embracing the edges, the mating surface does not open carelessly. However, instead of the configuration in which the bending margin 4A is provided at the non-joined long side edge of the upper soft plastic sheet 4, only the short side of the upper and lower soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 is joined, and any of the long side edges is joined. Either one or both may be unbonded. Further, the bending margin 4A is not provided at the non-joined long side edge of the upper soft plastic sheet 4, but the two long side edges of the soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 are both joined, and both soft plastic sheets 4 are joined. , 5 may be configured such that the mating surfaces of the soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 are opened from the gap between the short side edges. Also in this case, there is no possibility that the mating surfaces of the upper and lower soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 are opened carelessly.
[0031]
Further, a structure for removably fixing the soft plastic sheet 3 is provided between the box-shaped case body 1 and the soft plastic sheet 3. In other words, locking holes 6 are formed through two portions of the raised bottom constituting the central raised portion of the box-shaped case body 1, and the lower soft plastic sheet 5 corresponds to the locking holes 6. An elastically deformable claw support piece 8 having a locking claw 7 at its tip protrudes from the back surface of the claw.
[0032]
Then, when the flexible plastic sheet 3 is fixed to the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the operator holds the locking claw 7 on the flexible plastic sheet 3 side of the box-shaped case body 1. The side locking hole 6 is applied, and the support piece 8 is pushed into the locking hole 6 from above the soft plastic sheet with a finger. Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the locking claw 7 comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the locking hole 6, the claw support piece 8 is pushed and elastically deforms, and the locking claw moves to the inside of the locking hole. Therefore, the locking claw 7 passes through the locking hole 6. When the locking claw 7 passes through the locking hole 6, the force pushing the claw support piece 8 disappears, so that the locking claw 7 moves to the outside of the locking hole as shown in FIG. The claw 7 is engaged with the periphery of the locking hole 6, and the engagement between the locking claw 7 and the locking hole 6 is established. In this way, the soft plastic sheet 3 is fixed to the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1 in one touch with the establishment of the engagement between the locking claw 7 and the locking hole 6 that is performed by using the elasticity of the claw support piece 8. Is done.
[0033]
As shown in FIG. 6 (d), the bottom of the pachinko ball housing case is curved so that it rises at the location of the raised bottom where the locking hole 6 is provided. Since the empty space S is formed between the stationary surfaces F of the ball housing case, there is no possibility that the engaging claw 7 that has passed through the engaging holes 6 hits the stationary surface to cause a trouble in engagement. In addition, since the box-shaped case body 1 is raised and the bottom is filled, even if the amount of pachinko balls entering is not so large, the upper part of the box-shaped case body 1 is filled with the pachinko balls, so that the player smoothly goes out. You can fully enjoy the feeling that you are.
[0034]
On the contrary, when the soft plastic sheet 3 is removed from the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1, as shown in FIG. 7A, the operator uses the fingers to hold the locking claw 7 on the soft plastic sheet 3 side. The case body 1 is pushed up to the back side of the locking hole 6 on the side of the case body 1. Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the claw support piece 8 is pushed and elastically deformed, and the locking claw 7 moves to the inside of the locking hole 6. As shown in FIG. At the same time that the pawl 7 is removed from the peripheral edge of the latching hole 6, the latching claw 7 is pushed back together with the soft plastic sheet 3 and passes through the latching hole 6. Will be released promptly. In this way, the soft plastic sheet 3 is detached from the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1 with one touch as the engagement of the locking claw 7 and the locking hole 6 is performed using the elasticity of the claw support piece 8. To do.
[0035]
That is, the soft plastic sheet 3 is placed on the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1 simply by placing the locking claw 7 on the soft plastic sheet 3 side into the locking hole 6 on the box-shaped case body side and pushing it from above the soft plastic sheet 3 with a finger. 3 can be fixed in a one-touch manner, and on the contrary, the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1 can be obtained simply by pushing the locking claw 7 on the soft plastic sheet 3 side to the back of the locking hole on the box-shaped case body 1 side. Thus, the soft plastic sheet 3 can be detached with one touch. Further, since the locking hole 6 is a quadrangle having a wide opening area, the locking claw 7 can be easily inserted through the locking hole 6 and removed when compared with a circular shape with a small opening area of the locking hole 6. Since it is only necessary to move the locking claw in one direction, it is easy to remove, and the engagement between the locking claw 7 and the locking hole 6 is smoothly established / released. But the latching hole 6 does not necessarily need to be a square, and may be another square shape.
[0036]
When using the pachinko ball housing case of this embodiment, the soft plastic sheet 3 is laid and fixed on the bottom of the box-shaped case main body 1, and the pachinko balls are put into and out of the opening 2 of the box-shaped case main body 1. Then, since the sound when the pachinko sphere falls from the opening 2 of the box-shaped case body 1 is absorbed and softened by the cushioning action of the soft plastic sheet 3, the noise accompanying the fall of the pachinko sphere can be suppressed.
[0037]
In the case of the pachinko ball housing case of the present embodiment, when the soft plastic sheet 3 is laid and fixed to the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1, as shown in FIG. By placing the advertisement sheet 9 marked with the advertisement notation surface facing the front side (the opening side of the box-shaped case body), the soft plastic sheet 3 as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. The promotional sheet 9 is loaded on the back side of. Then, the advertising notation of the advertising sheet 9 can be seen by the player through the transparent soft plastic sheet 4. As a specific example of the advertising notation, as shown in FIG. 9, there is an advertising phrase that informs service information of a pachinko store that actually uses a pachinko ball housing case. Of course, the contents of the service information are not limited to those related to the pachinko parlor being used.
[0038]
The advertising sheet 9 may be already loaded at the shipment stage of the pachinko ball housing case. In this case, the advertising effect can be immediately exerted without performing the work of setting the advertising sheet 9 with the advertising notation. However, usually, the advertising sheet 9 is loaded at a pachinko parlor where a pachinko ball storage case is purchased. When the advertising sheet 9 is loaded in the pachinko parlor, after the soft plastic sheet 3 is detached from the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1, the soft plastic sheet 4 is rolled up as shown in FIG. Open the mating surface of 5 and place the advertising sheet 9 on the surface of the soft plastic sheet 5 with the advertising notation side facing up, then cover the soft plastic sheet 4 and close the mating surfaces of the soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 The soft plastic sheet 3 is fixed to the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1 again. When the advertising sheet 9 is exchanged for a new advertising expression, the same can be done.
[0039]
In this way, in the case of this pachinko ball housing case, the soft plastic sheet 3 is taken off and removed in a one-touch manner, the advertising sheet 9 is replaced with another one marked with an advertising notation, and the soft plastic sheet 3 is once again touched. It is easy to attach the advertising sheet 9 with the upper soft plastic sheet 4 without being glued, so that the advertising sheet 9 is always replaced with the latest one. Information can be provided to players in a timely manner. Further, when the soft plastic sheet 3 itself is soiled or damaged, it can be easily updated by replacing only the soft plastic sheet 3 with a new one. In addition, since the nail support piece 8 is disposed on the back surface of the lower soft plastic sheet 5 and the nail support piece 8 does not appear at all on the mating surfaces of the both soft plastic sheets 4, 5, The advertising sheet 9 can be set at an arbitrary position of the five mating surfaces.
[0040]
If the advertising sheet 9 is transparent, both the soft plastic sheet 3 and the box-shaped case body 1 are transparent. Therefore, the bottom of the pachinko ball housing case of the present embodiment can be seen through.
[0041]
In the pachinko ball housing case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the box-shaped case body 1 is stacked so that the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1 is deeply fitted from the opening 2 of the other box-shaped case body 1. 11, and a stacked type stacked state in which the box-shaped case body 1 is stacked with the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1 riding on the upper surface of another box-shaped case body 1 as shown in FIG. In any case, the left and right sides of the box-shaped case body 1 are different in shape so that they can be selectively performed by reversing the left and right directions of the box-shaped case body 1.
[0042]
That is, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in addition to the corrugated irregularities being formed along the inner side of the wall surface 1A, 1B on the short side of the box-shaped case body 1, the wall surfaces 1A, 1B Between the left and right sides, the shape of the corrugated irregularities is different so that the peaks and valleys are opposite to each other. As a result, in the box-shaped case body 1, the short-side wall surface 1 </ b> A faces the short-side wall surface 1 </ b> A of the other box-shaped case body 1, and the short-side wall surface 1 </ b> B is the short side of the other box-shaped case body 1. When stacked so as to face the side wall surface 1B, the bottom of the box-shaped case main body 1 is deeply fitted into another box-shaped case main body 1 to be in a fitting type stacked state. Conversely, the left and right sides of the box-shaped case body 1 are reversed, and the wall surface 1A on the short side of the box-shaped case body 1 faces the wall surface 1B on the short side of the other box-shaped case body 1. When 1B is stacked so as to face the wall surface 1A on the short side of the other box-shaped case body 1, the bottom overhanging portion 1D of the box-shaped case body 1 is on the terrace-shaped surface 1C of the other box-shaped case body 1. It will be placed on and placed in a stacked type.
[0043]
In this case, when the $ -shaped mark 10 marked on one corner of the box-shaped case body 1 is stacked and stacked, a fitting-type stacked state is obtained, and when stacked without the $ -shaped mark 10 being stacked, a stacked-type stacked state is obtained. . That is, the $ -shaped mark 10 serves as a mark when selecting a fitting type stacked state and a placing type stacked state.
[0044]
Therefore, in the pachinko ball storage case of the present embodiment, when the pachinko store stores or transports the pachinko ball storage case, the pachinko ball storage case is stacked in a fitting stacking state where the bulk is low, The conveyance space can be reduced. In addition, when a player places a pachinko ball storage case full of pachinko balls next to it, the pachinko ball storage cases are stacked in a stacking-type stacking state that increases the bulk, and the player smoothly goes out. You can fully enjoy the feeling you are in.
[0045]
Furthermore, in the pachinko ball housing case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an edge side portion 11 that protrudes outward in the horizontal direction is provided at the upper end of the long side of the box-like case body 1. In addition to the fact that the weir ridges 12 are provided along the circumferential direction of the box-like case body 1 on the front end side of the edge-side portion 11 in a state where there is an interrupted portion in the middle, The surface of the edge side portion 11 is inclined so that the pachinko ball located on the edge side portion 11 hits 12 and rotates to the box-shaped case body according to the arrow RA. In this case, even if the pachinko ball that has been released from the pachinko machine and dropped on the box-shaped case body 1 bounces off the box-shaped case body 1, it will hit the weir ridge 12 and be returned to the box-shaped case body 1 Even if there is a pachinko ball that happens to be located on the edge-side portion 11, it rotates by the inclination provided on the surface of the edge-side portion 11, and naturally falls down to the box-shaped case body 1 according to the arrow RA. The pachinko ball can be prevented from falling outside.
[0046]
It should be noted that the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1 is raised in an elliptical shape, and even if the amount of pachinko balls entering is not so large, the box-shaped case body 1 is filled with pachinko balls, so that the players can go smoothly. You can fully enjoy the feeling of the ball.
[0047]
At the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1, through holes 13 for electrical ground are formed, and the pachinko balls of the box-shaped case body 1 in which the pachinko balls fitted in the through holes 13 are laminated at the bottom or By contacting with the floor, an electrical ground can be taken. Of course, the soft plastic sheet 3 is also provided with a grounding through-hole 14 at a position corresponding to the through-hole 13 so that the soft plastic sheet 3 does not interfere with electrical grounding.
[0048]
Further, the upper end of the short side of the box-shaped case body 1 is provided with a handle portion 15 projecting outward in the horizontal direction, and the front end side central portion of the handle portion 15 is somewhat raised. Thus, a heavy box-shaped case body 1 filled with pachinko balls can be stably gripped by a player by placing his / her finger on the finger rest 16.
[0049]
[Another embodiment]
(1) In the case of the present embodiment, the soft plastic sheet 3 is in the form of a laminated sheet in which two transparent soft plastic sheets 4 and 5 are stacked, but the soft plastic sheet 3 is a single transparent soft plastic sheet. Only 4 single sheet forms may be used. In this case, in order to attach the advertising sheet 9, for example, about four advertising sheet locking claws similar to the locking claw 7 are formed on the back surface of the soft plastic sheet, and also on the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1. In addition, a locking hole for locking the advertising sheet locking claw is provided, and after the advertising sheet 9 is inserted in advance into the area surrounded by the advertising sheet locking claw of the soft plastic sheet, A method of pressing the advertisement sheet locking claw against the locking hole at the bottom of the box-shaped case main body 1 to engage the both is conceivable. The advertising sheet 9 is sandwiched between the lower surface of the soft plastic sheet and the upper surface of the bottom of the box-shaped case body 1.
[0050]
The upper soft plastic sheet 4 needs to be transparent, but the lower soft plastic sheet 5 does not necessarily need to be transparent and may be an opaque sheet. For example, as the lower flexible plastic sheet 5, a foam material such as polyurethane foam or polystyrene foam may be used.
