Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to an ashtray mounting structure for a lower ball tray that is attached to the lower front portion of a front frame of a pachinko machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, an ashtray is attached to the lower front portion of the front frame of a pachinko machine, but the ashtray is usually mounted on a lower ball tray. That is, the lower sphere tray is configured by providing a support end formed integrally with the ball tray portion via a notch recess on one side of the ball tray portion for storing pachinko balls, and the ashtray is formed by the notch recess. It was arranged in the inside, and it was made to pivotally support the ball tray part and the support end part on both sides, respectively.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In this way, this type of lower sphere tray has a support end portion integrally provided on one side of the sphere tray portion through a notch recess, which makes the structure complicated and increases the size of the die. As a result, there is a problem that the mold cost is considerably increased.
In addition, since the support end is provided, the width of the notch recess cannot be made wide due to the space. Therefore, the ashtray is inevitably reduced in size, and the cigarette butts and ash of the game are filled up instantly. As a result, there was a problem that the butts and ash that overflowed spilled on the floor and damaged the beauty of the hall.
[0004]
Furthermore, recently, there are many types of pachinko machines that pay out a lot of prize balls at once, and these pachinko machines require a ball tray with a large required volume, and the ashtray and further a support end are provided. I was struggling to solve this problem because of the size of the relationship.
Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, in a pachinko machine in which the mold cost of the lower ball tray can be reduced and the ashtray and the ball tray portion can be formed wider than conventional ones. An object of the present invention is to provide an ashtray mounting structure for a lower ball tray.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve such an object, the ashtray mounting structure of the lower ball tray in the pachinko machine according to the present invention comprises a lower ball tray provided at the lower front portion of the front frame, comprising a ball tray portion in which pachinko balls are stored and an ashtray. A support piece that protrudes substantially horizontally forward from the front frame at a predetermined distance from the ball tray, and the ashtray is attached to the frame base and the top surface of the frame base. A gap between the inner wall on one side in the lateral direction of the frame and the outer wall formed integrally by the connecting piece at the upper end of the inner wall so that the support piece intervenes. A shaft hole is formed at the front upper end of the inner wall on one side and the front upper end of the outer wall on the other side, and the support piece is intervened in the gap and a support shaft inside the front end of the support piece Is fitted into the shaft hole on the one side, and the support shaft on the side of the ball dish part is attached A stopper in which the ashtray is stretched over the front surface of a decorative plate provided at the lower front portion of the front frame by fitting into the shaft hole of the wall and covering the ashtray main body on the upper surface of the receiving frame base. It is configured to be received by a piece and to be mounted between the support piece and one side end of the ball tray part .
[0006]
[Action]
In the ashtray mounting structure of the present invention, the lower sphere tray provided in the lower front part of the front frame is composed of a ball tray part in which pachinko balls are stored and an ashtray, and a predetermined interval is separated from the ball dish part in front of the front frame. Since a nearly horizontal support piece protrudes forward and an ashtray is mounted between the support piece and one end of the ball tray, the lower ball tray is structurally simple compared to the conventional one. And compact. In addition, since the conventional support end portion is eliminated, the ashtray and the ball tray portion can be formed widely.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a stopper piece horizontally stretched on the front surface of the decorative plate 7 near the vertical surface 10a between the vertical surface 10a of the ball tray portion 10 and the support piece 16 so as to support the lower surface of the ashtray 11. ing.
[0010]
As shown in an exploded view in FIG. 2, the ashtray 11 includes a receiving frame base 11 a and an ashtray main body 11 b that is attached to and integrated with the upper surface of the receiving frame base 11 a.
In the frame base 11a, an inner wall 22a and an outer wall 22b are erected on one side in the lateral direction of the bottom plate 21, and an outer wall 23 is erected on the other side. A gap 24 is formed between the inner wall 22a and the outer wall 22b. Further, the inner half portion of the inner wall 22a and the outer wall 22b protrudes high at the upper part, and the upper end is integrally formed by a connecting piece 25.
[0011]
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a cut-out portion 26 is provided in the approximate center of the inner wall 22 a, and an enclosure wall 27 that protrudes to the inside of the inner wall 22 a is provided so as to surround the cut-out portion 26. A through hole 28 is formed inside thereof. Further, a shaft hole 29 is provided at the front upper end of the inner wall 22a, and a shaft hole 30 is also provided at the front upper end of the outer wall 23. 31 and 31 are screw holes provided in the left and right side positions of the bottom plate 21.

[0015]
As shown in FIG. 8, the ashtray 11 assembled in this way rotates from the solid line position to the chain line position with the support shafts 15 and 17 as fulcrums, thereby removing the butts and ash accumulated in the recesses 32. can do. Further, at this time, the ashtray 11 rotated to the position of the chain line in FIG. 8 is a position rotated by a predetermined angle, and the tip end portion 11c stops against the stopper piece 20 and does not rotate more than necessary. It makes it easy to take out ash.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the ashtray mounting structure of the lower ball tray in the pachinko machine according to the present invention has a substantially horizontal support piece projecting forward from the ball tray portion at a predetermined interval on the front surface of the front frame. Since the support piece intervenes in the gap formed between the inner wall and the outer wall on one side of the ashtray between the piece and the ball tray, the ashtray is axially mounted. Thus, the support end portion outside the ashtray becomes unnecessary, and the lower sphere receiving tray is structurally simplified and formed compactly, so that the mold cost and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0017]
Further, if the support piece is projected near the outer edge of the front frame, the ashtray and the ball tray portion can be formed widely. In the ashtray, butts or ash splatters and stains the surroundings, thereby deteriorating the beauty of the hall. There is no such thing. Further, since the capacity of the ball tray portion increases, it has an effect that it is optimal for a pachinko machine that pays out a large amount of prize balls at once.
