By this fixing, the sealing key 18 is locked to the key cylinder 50 (21) of the main body 2, whereby the inner frame 60 and the main body 2 are sealed by the sealing means B6. In other words, what fixed the middle frame 60 to the game board 110 is fixed to the main body 2 and sealed.

  Next, sealing means B7 according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 35 shows a sealing key according to another example, (A) is a side view thereof, (B) is a front view thereof, and FIG. 36 is an enlarged sectional view mainly showing a key case and a key cylinder. FIG. 37 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a state in which the sealing key is locked to the key case and the key cylinder, and FIG. 38 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the state in which the sealing key is broken from the unsealed portion of the seal.

  The sealing means B7 includes a sealing key 120, a face plate 19, a key case 20, and a key cylinder 50 (21). Since the sealing means B7 has the same configuration as the sealing means B1 to B6 described above except for the sealing key 120, the same reference numerals are given to the equivalent parts here. Omitted.

  The sealing key 120 is integrally formed of a light-transmitting synthetic resin, and is formed from one end portion (rear end portion in the insertion direction) of the cylindrical shaft 121 which is a key body having a required length and outer diameter. Toward the other end (the leading end in the insertion direction), the first unsealed mark part 122, the knob 123, the second unsealed mark part 124, the anti-rotation protrusions 125, 125, the second key side locking The pieces 126 and 126 and the first key side locking pieces 127 and 127 are formed in this order. In the present embodiment, the second key side locking pieces 126 and 126 are the second key side locking portions, and the first key side locking pieces 127 and 127 are the first key side locking portions. In addition, the first unsealed mark portion 122 is an unopened mark portion provided at a position that can be visually recognized from the outside of the exchanger.

  The knob 123 is formed with a disc-shaped flange 123b having a diameter larger than that of the key insertion port 33 of the face plate 19 at the rear end of the knob body 123a formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a required thickness t3 in a side view. In the knob body 123a, an insert plate 128 in which identification information such as the security management number described above is described is embedded.

  In addition, the knob body 123a is embedded with the insert plate 128 in which identification information such as a security management number is written, and the same IC tag (RF as described above) in which identification information such as the same security management number is stored. -ID) and IC chips can be embedded.

  The first unsealing mark portion 122 has the same required thickness t3 as that of the knob main body 123a and is L-shaped in the upside down direction when viewed from the side, and is connected to the upper end of the knob 123 with a constant width. It consists of a part 122a and a fixed part 122b formed in a horizontally long shape at the upper end part thereof.

  A breaking groove 122c is formed at the boundary between the connecting portion 122a and the knob main body 123a. The sealing portion seals the main body 2 and the game board 1 at the connecting portion 122a or the fixing portion 122b or both. When a force for unsealing is applied through the knob 123, the breaking groove 122c breaks. In other words, the structure is such that stress tends to concentrate on the breaking groove 122c. Note that the breaking groove 122c is not necessarily required as long as a part of the first unsealed mark portion 122 is broken.

The fixing portion 122b is formed by projecting an insertion piece 122e having an arrow shape in a side view from a base end piece 122d having a horizontally long rectangle. The base end piece 122d and the insertion piece 122e may have the same thickness or different thicknesses.
The insertion piece 122e may be formed integrally with the base end piece 122d, but is preferably formed of an elastic material that is easily elastically deformed so that, for example, a portion remaining in the fitting hole 1f described later can be easily removed. When laid, the insertion piece 122e may be formed of a material different from that of the base end piece 122d and may be attached to the base end piece 122d by bonding or welding.

The second unopened trace portion 124 is deformed by applying a force through the knob 123 to unseal the sealing by the sealing portion that seals the game board 1 to the main body 2, thereby removing the unopened trace. A part of the shaft 121 of the sealing key 120 is made to have a small diameter that can be broken by a twisting force of the knob 123.
As described above, the term “deformation” means that the shape is different from the original shape before the knob 123 is twisted, and is a broad concept including the above-mentioned breakage and damage or narrowing. .

  As described above, the first unsealing mark part 122 and the second unsealing mark part 124 are picked up by the force to release the sealing by the sealing part that seals the main body 2 and the game board 1. Although it is common in the point that it is deformed by leaving it through 123 and leaves a trace of opening, it is set to break almost simultaneously when its force is applied through the knob 123.

In the game board 1, a fitting hole 1f for fitting the insertion piece 122e is formed at a position facing the insertion piece 122e of the sealing key 120 inserted into the key case 20.
The fitting hole 1f has substantially the same shape as the insertion piece 122e in a front view and a side view, and abuts and locks on the upright surfaces 122f and 122f of the insertion piece 122e inserted into the insertion piece 122e. Locking surfaces 1g, 1g orthogonal to the extraction direction β of the sealing key 120 are formed so as to prevent the extraction of the sealing key 120.

Next, an operation of inserting the sealing key 120 into the key case 20 of the game board 1 will be described.
<Inserting the sealing key into the key case>
When the sealing key 120 starts to be inserted into the key insertion slot 29a of the key case 20 fixed to the game board 1, the rotation preventing protrusions 125 and 125 are fitted in the key rotation preventing grooves 29b and 29b in the middle. As a result, the first key side locking pieces 127 and 127 come into contact with the exchanger side locking pieces 29d and 29d.

  After the first key-side locking pieces 127 and 127 are in contact with the exchange-side locking pieces 29d and 29d and the insertion piece 122e is in contact with the opening of the fitting hole 1f, the sealing key 120 is inserted. Accordingly, the first key side locking pieces 127 and 127 elastically deform the exchange body side locking pieces 29d and 29d from the inner side to the outer side to push the exchange side locking pieces 29d and 29d apart.

When the first key side locking pieces 127 and 127 pass through the exchanger side locking pieces 29d and 29d, the exchanger side locking pieces 29d and 29d are elastically returned to the original state.
Further, when the sealing key 18 is inserted, the insertion piece 122e comes into contact with the opening of the fitting hole 1f, and at the same time, the second key side locking pieces 126 and 126 are also brought into contact with the exchange side locking pieces 29d and 29d. Touch.

After the insertion piece 122e contacts the opening of the fitting hole 1f, the insertion piece 122e is inserted into the fitting hole 1f while being elastically deformed in accordance with the insertion of the sealing key 120.
When the insertion piece 122e is completely inserted into the fitting hole 1f, the insertion piece 122e is elastically restored to its original state, and the standing surfaces 122f and 122f are brought into contact with the locking surfaces 1g and 1g of the fitting hole 1f. Thus, the sealing key 18 is prevented from being pulled out and rotated from the key case 20.

<Inserting the sealing key into the key cylinder>
Next, the key case 20 into which the sealing key 120 is inserted is approached so as to be fitted from the front side of the key cylinder 50 (21). In other words, the game board 1 is brought close to the back plate 10 of the main body 2.

  When the key case 20 starts to be inserted into the key cylinder 50 (21), the first key side locking pieces 127 and 127 come into contact with the non-exchanger side locking pieces 51b and 51b.

  After the first key-side locking pieces 127 and 127 are brought into contact with the non-exchanger-side locking pieces 51b and 51b, the first key-side locking pieces 127 and 127 are not moved as the sealing key 18 is inserted. The exchanger side locking pieces 51b and 51b are elastically deformed from the inside to the outside, and the non-exchanger side locking pieces 51b and 51b are spread.

  When the first key side locking pieces 127 and 127 pass through the non-exchanger side locking pieces 51b and 51b, the non-exchanger side locking pieces 51b and 51b are elastically restored to the original state, and the non-exchanger side The locking pieces 51b and 51b are in contact with the vertical locking surfaces 127a and 127a of the first key side locking pieces 127 and 127, respectively.

In this state, the non-exchanger side locking pieces 51b and 51b abut on the vertical locking surfaces 127a and 127a of the first key side locking pieces 127 and 127, and the replacement side locking pieces 29d and 29d are The second key side locking pieces 126, 126 are in contact with the vertical locking surfaces 126a, 126a, and the rotation preventing protrusions 125, 125 are inserted into the key rotation preventing grooves 29b, 29b. It is in a fitted state.
As a result, the sealing key 120 is prevented from being extracted and rotated from the key case 20 and the key cylinder 50 (21), and the gaming board 1 and the main body 2 are sealed.

Next, a case where the game board is attempted to be removed illegally will be described with reference to FIG.
When the game board fixing tool is operated so that the game board 1 can be removed, and the knob 123 of the sealing key 120 is rotated in either direction so as to release the sealing by the sealing means B7, the shaft 121 is also in the same direction. The rotation preventing protrusions 125 and 125 formed on the shaft 121 are inserted and fitted into the key rotation preventing grooves 29b and 29b of the key case 20, so that the shaft 121 Rotation is prevented.

  When the knob 123 of the sealing key 120 is further rotated, the first unsealed mark portion 122 is broken from the breaking groove 122c, and the second unopened mark portion 124 formed on the shaft 121 is also twisted and broken. To do.

Thereby, the trace which tried to remove the game board 1 fraudulently remains, it can discover early that fraudulent act was performed, and can cope with it quickly. In addition, since a part of the insertion piece 122e of the first unseal mark portion 122 remains in the fitting hole 1f, even if an attempt is made to seal with an imitation seal key different from the seal key 120, The game board 1 and the main body 2 cannot be sealed, and unauthorized manipulation cannot be performed.
Further, since the first unsealed portion 122 is arranged on the front side of the game board 1, there is an advantage that it can be very easily found that the sealing key 120 is damaged.

  FIG. 39 shows a sealing key according to another example, in which (A) is a side view thereof and (B) is a front view thereof. Note that the sealing key according to another example has substantially the same configuration except that the configuration of the sealing key shown in FIG. The detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The sealing key 120A according to another example is integrally formed of a light-transmitting synthetic resin, which is different from one end portion (rear end portion in the insertion direction) of the cylindrical shaft 121 having a required length and outer diameter. Toward the end portion (tip portion in the insertion direction), the first unsealing residual portion 128, the knob 123, the second unsealing residual portion 124, the anti-rotation protrusions 125, 125, the second key side locking piece The configuration in which 126, 126 and first key side locking pieces 127, 127 are formed in this order is the same as the sealing key 120 described above.
