[Prior art]
For example, in a pachinko machine that is a kind of gaming machine, when the pachinko machine main body as a gaming machine is opened, the management room is informed of the opening and the time is recorded. Although this may be opened on the hall side for equipment maintenance and inspection, it is mainly performed from the viewpoint of preventing fraud on the player side. Some players are cheating. For example, it is possible to adjust the nail so that it is easy to enter, or to illegally open the door frame or the like in order to make it a safe ball. However, if the scale is larger, the pachinko machine body may be opened to replace the ROM in the control mechanism (so-called illegal use of the back ROM). Therefore, detection means such as a limit switch for detecting the opening of the pachinko machine main body is disposed between the outer frame as the support frame and the pachinko machine main body.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In general, the main body of the pachinko machine is cantilevered by a pivotal support shaft with respect to the outer frame and can be opened and closed, and is mounted so as to fit the inner peripheral surface of the outer frame in a closed state. Therefore, in order to detect the release of the main body of the pachinko machine, for example, a limit plate is mounted on the main body side of the pachinko machine as a detecting means in the adjacent portion where the main body of the pachinko machine and the outer frame meet, and a contact plate for the input lever to contact Etc. are attached to the outer frame. An unauthorized person may press the lever of the limit switch with a finger or the like through the gap when the pachinko machine body is opened slightly, and may perform an illegal operation so that the limit switch is not input. In particular, if the limit switch is arranged at a position close to the front of the player or at a position where the limit switch protrudes forward by opening the pachinko machine main body away from the rotation support shaft, it is easy to perform such fraud.
The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that makes it difficult to perform unauthorized operation of detection means disposed between a gaming table and a support frame.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, in the invention described in claim 1, at least a support frame body and a game surface that is supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the support frame body and that a player faces to play a game are formed. A detecting means for detecting an open / closed state of the gaming table with respect to the supporting frame body between the gaming table and the inner surface of the supporting frame body facing the opening / closing spindle side end face of the gaming table. In the arranged gaming machine, a flexible mounting frame is disposed on the gaming table side, while the detecting means is housed in a swingable case, and a buffer member is interposed with respect to the mounting frame. By arranging the case in a state, the detection unit of the detection means comes into contact with the support frame body and detects the detection unit while receiving a buffering action of the buffer member as the game table is closed. At the same time, the case should be It has a swingable margin Te as its gist the. The gist of the invention of claim 2 is that, in addition to the configuration of the invention of claim 1, the mounting frame is arranged on the side of the input / output base .
In such a configuration, when the game table is gradually released from the closed state with respect to the support frame, a gap is formed between the game table and the support frame. Since the inner surface of the support frame facing the opposite side is the rotation center side, the gap between the support frame and the game table does not become as large as the position away from the rotation center even if the game table is opened. Further, as the game table is opened, the game table gradually protrudes toward the player side, but the end surface near the opening / closing support shaft side is relatively disposed on the heel side as viewed from the player side.
[0005]
【The invention's effect】
Said the invention described in the claims, the detection since the opening and closing shaft side end face and the end face directly faces the support frame inside surface is never a gap be opened amusement machine increases from the gap with a finger or the like It becomes difficult to perform unauthorized operations to operate the means. Further, as the game table is opened, the game table gradually protrudes toward the player side, so that the game table becomes an obstacle and it becomes difficult to perform unauthorized operations on the end surface on the rotation center side and the inner surface side of the support frame.
Further, since the mounting frame is flexible and the detection means is not overloaded, the detection means is unlikely to fail.

[0010]
Next, the configuration of the limit switch 30 and the periphery of the limit switch 30 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a mounting frame 41 is formed on the right side of the input / output base 34 constituting a part of the right end surface 4 a. The mounting frame 41 is formed with a mounting plate 43 that protrudes to the right in a substantially trapezoidal shape. The limit switch 30 is mounted on the mounting plate 43 together with the case 45. As shown in FIG. 4, the case 45 is rotatably attached to the attachment plate 43 through a fixing screw 46 through an attachment hole 45 a disposed at a lower position. A long hole 47 is formed above the fixing screw 46. A restriction screw 48 projecting from the mounting plate 43 is disposed in the long hole 47 to restrict the rotation of the case 45. As a result, the case 45 can be swung around the fixing screw 46 as a rotation center.
As shown in FIGS. 5, 6 (a), and 6 (b), a first storage portion 49 opened to the left is formed between the fixing screw 46 and the long hole 47. A leaf spring 50 is stored in the first storage portion 49. A second storage part 51 is formed on the right side of the first storage part 49. The second storage unit 51 is opened to the right, and the limit switch 30 is stored in the second storage unit 51. The limit switch 30 includes a main body 30a fixed in the second storage part 51 and a lever 30b as a detection part. The lever 30 b protrudes slightly to the right from the second storage portion 51.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 4, the leaf spring 50 urges the case 45 in the clockwise direction (rightward) with respect to the urging plate 52 projecting to the left of the mounting plate 43, and FIG. ), The case 45 is slightly inclined rightward in the biased state. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine body 4 is housed in the outer frame 1 as shown in FIG. 2, the lever is pushed by the upper inner surface of the left frame plate 1d as shown in FIG. 30b is pressed, and the limit switch 30 and the case 45 rotate counterclockwise (leftward) against the urging force of the leaf spring 50.
[0012]
The operation of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment having such a configuration will be described.
In a state in which the pachinko machine body 4 is mounted on the outer frame (closed state, that is, a normal playable state), as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. Counterclockwise (leftward) position against the urging force. At this time, the lever 30b is pushed in the direction of the main body 30a. In the present embodiment, the state where the lever 30b is pushed in the direction of the main body 30a is a non-detected state where the limit switch 30 is not input.
Here, when the pachinko machine body 4 is opened around the rotation shaft 6a of the hinge metal fitting 6 (as shown in FIG. 1), the pressing of the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d against the case 45 is eliminated as the limit switch 30 is opened. Both the case 45 and the case 45 are rotated clockwise (rightward) by the urging force of the leaf spring 50 against the case 45, resulting in the state shown in FIG. At the same time, the lever 30b is raised, the limit switch 30 is input, and it is detected that the door frame 15 is opened. When the pachinko machine body 4 is gradually opened, the cantilevered pachinko machine body 4 protrudes from the notch 28 side to the player side, but the limit switch 30 faces the right end surface 4a of the pachinko machine body 4. Since it is arranged around the rotation shaft 6a of the hinge bracket 6, the pachinko machine body 4 is opened backward, and the player moves backward to a position where it is extremely difficult to see from the player side and is difficult to perform fraud. It becomes.
[0013]
With this configuration, the first embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Even if the pachinko machine body 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 1, the position of the limit switch 30 is located on the rotating shaft 6 a side of the right end surface 4 a of the pachinko machine body 4 and the pachinko machine body 4 is opened. However, since the gap does not become so large, it becomes difficult for those who play illegal games to touch the limit switch 30 very much. Also, as the pachinko machine body 4 is opened, the notch 28 side of the pachinko machine body 4 protrudes forward, which becomes an obstacle and the right end surface 4a rotates in reverse and hides behind. Hard to do.
(2) Since the lever 30b of the limit switch 30 directly contacts the inner surface of the left frame 1d, a separate member such as a contact plate for turning the lever 30b on and off is unnecessary, which contributes to cost reduction.
(3) The case 45 in which the limit switch 30 is housed is swung to the left and right by the pushing by the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d and the urging force of the leaf spring 50. That is, since the case 45 is not fixed and the margin for adjusting the arrangement position of the limit switch 30 is sufficient, it is not necessary to require much skill for the arrangement work of the limit switch 30.
(4) Since the mounting frame 41 itself has the flexibility that it bends slightly to the left and right, it is difficult for the limit switch 30 to be loaded together with the case 45 swinging.
(5) Since the limit switch 30 is on the pachinko machine body 4 side, it can be wired directly from the input / output board 34 and is disposed adjacent to the input / output board 34. Supply can be realized easily and inexpensively.
(6) With the pachinko machine main body 4 mounted on the outer frame 1 as shown in FIG. 6B, the regulating screw 48 is positioned near the center in the long hole 47, and the case 45 swings to the left. Have some room for doing. Therefore, the limit switch 30 is not overloaded beyond the urging force of the leaf spring 50, and the limit switch 30 is not easily damaged by the overload.
(7) Since the limit switch 30 is housed in the case 45, it is difficult to cause a problem that the pachinko machine collides and breaks down when the pachinko machine is transported or installed.
[0014]
It should be noted that the present invention can be modified and embodied as follows.
As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the limit switch 30 may be directly attached to the mounting plate 43 formed on the mounting frame 41 without the case 45 interposed therebetween. In this embodiment, the lever 30b of the limit switch 30 is not directly brought into contact with the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d, but is pushed by the intermediate lever 55. The intermediate lever 55 is a member made of synthetic resin, and is pivotally supported by a rotation shaft 54, and the lever body 55a is bent and formed in a U-shape that bulges rightward. The intermediate lever 55 is configured to come into contact with the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d at the bent portion vertex 55b of the lever main body 55a. When the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d contacts the bent portion apex 55b, the tip of the lever body 55a pushes the lever 30b of the limit switch 30. At this time, since the lever main body 55a is bent, the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the lever main body 55a to be slightly bent to reduce the load applied to the limit switch 30.
As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the limit switch 30 may be directly attached to the mounting plate 43 formed on the mounting frame 41 without the case 45 interposed therebetween. In this embodiment, the lever for turning on and off the limit switch 30 is omitted, and the intermediate lever 57 also serves as the lever. The intermediate lever 57 is a member made of synthetic resin, and is pivotally supported by a rotation shaft 54 so as to be rotatable. The lever main body 57a of the intermediate lever 57 is divided into two parts, and includes an outer short leg 58 and an inner long leg 59. The short leg 58 is formed to be curved, and is configured to contact the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d at the curved portion apex 58a. The long leg 59 functions as an input lever of the limit switch 30.
When the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the curved portion vertex 58a of the short leg 58, the long leg 59 pushes the on / off button 30c of the limit switch 30. At this time, since the short leg 58 is curved, the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the short leg 58 to bend slightly and reduce the load applied to the limit switch 30.
As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the limit switch 30 may be directly attached to the mounting plate 43 formed on the mounting frame 41 without the case 45 interposed therebetween. In this embodiment, the end of the lever 60 of the limit switch 30 is bent halfway, and an extending portion 60a extending obliquely upward is formed. When the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the extending portion 60a, the integrally formed lever 59 is pushed. At this time, since the extended portion 60a of the lever 60 is bent, the load applied to the limit switch 30 is reduced by being slightly bent by the contact of the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B, the limit switch 30 may be directly attached to the attachment plate 43 formed on the attachment frame 41 without using the case 45. In this embodiment, the limit switch 30 is suspended and supported by a support shaft 61 so as to be rotatable. The limit switch 30 is always urged counterclockwise (outward) by a coil spring 62 mounted on a pin 63 projecting from the mounting plate 43, and is held slightly obliquely when the pachinko machine body 4 is open. . The inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with and pushes the lever 30b of the limit switch 30. When the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d is further pressed while the lever 30b is pressed in the direction of the main body 30a, the limit switch 30 itself rotates clockwise (inward) against the biasing force of the coil spring 62. Moving. In this way, when the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact, the limit switch 30 itself swings, so the load on the limit switch 30 is reduced.
As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the limit switch 30 may be directly attached to the mounting plate 43 formed on the mounting frame 41 without using the case 45. In this embodiment, the limit switch 30 is suspended and supported by a support shaft 65 so as to be rotatable. Since the position of the support shaft 65 is slightly shifted outward from the limit switch 30, the limit switch 30 is inclined while being supported by the shaft. In the present embodiment, the lever 66 of the limit switch 30 is arranged on the inner side, that is, toward the mounting frame 41 side. The end of the lever 66 is bent halfway, and an extension portion 66a extending obliquely upward is formed.
When the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact with the limit switch 30, the tip of the extending portion 66a of the integrally formed lever 66 is gradually pressed against the mounting frame 41, and the pachinko machine body 4 is attached to the outer frame 1. In this state, the lever 66 is pressed by the limit switch 30. In this way, when the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d comes into contact, the limit switch 30 itself swings, so the load on the limit switch 30 is reduced.
In each of the above embodiments, the limit switch 30 side is in direct contact with the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d. However, another member such as a contact plate is provided on the inner surface of the left frame plate 1d. Also good.
In each of the above embodiments, the limit switch 30 is mounted on the mounting frame 41 of the input / output board 34. However, the right end face 4a can be disposed at a position shifted in the vertical direction.
The limit switch 30 may be arranged on the inner surface side of the left frame plate 1d.
A detection means other than the limit switch 30 may be used.
[0016]
As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the present invention may be applied to a slot machine. The slot machine 71 of this embodiment is a model in which a reel device 73 is mounted on the back surface of a front door 72 as a game table. The front door 72 rotates about a rotation shaft 75 with respect to an outer frame 74 as a support frame. A game surface 76 is formed on the front surface of the front door 72. For example, the limit switch 30 shown in FIG. 10 is disposed on the side of the reel device 73 serving as an end surface. In a state where the front door 72 seals the front surface of the outer frame 74, the inner surface 74 a on the rotating shaft 75 side of the outer frame 74 contacts an input lever (not shown) of the limit switch 30. When the front door 72 is opened, the pressing of the inner surface 74a of the outer frame 74 against the limit switch 30 is released.
When configured in this way,
(1) Since the position where the limit switch 30 is disposed is on the rotating shaft 75 side, the gap does not become very large even if the outer frame 74 is opened. Therefore, those who play illegal games like the above touch the limit switch 30 very much. It becomes difficult. In addition, the front door 72 protrudes forward as the outer frame 74 is opened, which becomes an obstacle and the limit switch 30 side (right end surface) rotates in reverse and hides behind. Hateful.
(2) The lever of the limit switch 30 directly contacts the inner surface 74a of the outer frame 74 with the rotation shaft 75, and thus a separate member such as a contact plate for turning the lever into and out of the lever becomes unnecessary, contributing to cost reduction.
(3) Since the limit switch 30 itself swings as described above, the load applied to the limit switch 30 is reduced.
In addition, each limit switch 30 of FIGS. 6 to 11 can be applied to the slot machine 71. In addition to the leaf spring 50 and the coil spring 62 as the buffer member, a sponge like a strong restoring force may be used. Further, another member such as a contact plate may be provided on the inner surface 74a.
In the slot machine 71, the limit switch 30 is mounted on the side surface (end surface) of the reel device 73. However, in the slot machine 71 of the type in which the reel device 73 is on the outer frame 74 side, the mounting plate is fixed to the back surface of the front door 72, and the limit switch 30 is mounted by using the mounting plate as an end surface of the front door 72. The lever of the switch 30 may be brought into contact with the inner surface 74a of the outer frame 74.
The present invention can be applied not only to pachinko machines but also to gaming machines such as alepatchi and arrange balls, etc., and can be freely implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
