Description

本発明は、パチンコ機、パチスロ機等の遊技機に使用される集音装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a sound collecting device used in gaming machines such as pachinko machines and pachislot machines.

パチンコ機、パチスロ機等の遊技機においては、遊技者への臨場感を高め、あるいは遊技者に対して種々の興味を惹かせるため、遊技機にスピーカを設置し、種々の演出音（音楽、効果音等）を発するようにしている。特に、当たりと称する遊技状態、すなわち所定数の賞球あるいはメダル等が支払われる利益状態では、特に音量の大きな演出音を発し、遊技の趣向を一層高めるようにしている。さらに、近年、遊技機に液晶画面を設置し、登場するキャラクタの音声等、音出力が多岐にわたっており、音出力の重要性が増している。   In gaming machines such as pachinko machines and pachislot machines, speakers are installed in the gaming machines to increase the sense of realism to the players or to attract various interests to the players. Sound effects). In particular, in a game state called “winning”, that is, in a profit state where a predetermined number of prize balls or medals are paid, an effect sound having a particularly high volume is emitted to further enhance the game taste. Further, in recent years, liquid crystal screens have been installed in gaming machines, and sound output such as voices of characters appearing has been diversified, and the importance of sound output has increased.

ところが、遊技機にスピーカを設置すると、隣接する遊技機の演出音も遊技者の耳にも入りやすくなり、不快感を伴ったり、前記利益状態の演出音を混同してしまうという問題を有している。これを解決するために、特許文献１においては、スピーカのコーン部を遊技機の後部に向けて設置し、スピーカから発する音を反射板により反射させて遊技者に伝える方式を提案している。なお、パチンコ機、パチスロ機等の遊技機においては、不正行為や不正競業の防止から種々の法規制があり、特に遊技機の制御ユニットの信号の外部への取り出しは禁止されているためイヤホーンの設置はできない。
特開２００３−１８０９５６ However, when a speaker is installed in a gaming machine, the sound produced by the adjacent gaming machine is likely to enter the player's ears, resulting in an unpleasant feeling or confusing the sound produced in the profit state. ing. In order to solve this, Patent Document 1 proposes a system in which the cone portion of the speaker is installed toward the rear portion of the gaming machine, and the sound emitted from the speaker is reflected by a reflecting plate and transmitted to the player. In addition, in gaming machines such as pachinko machines, pachislot machines, etc., there are various laws and regulations for preventing illegal acts and illegal competition, and in particular, it is prohibited to take out signals from the control unit of gaming machines to the outside. Cannot be installed.
JP2003-180956A

しかしながら、上記特許文献１の方式においては、スピーカから発する音を反射させるだけなので、隣接する遊技機の演出音が入りやすいという基本的な問題は解消することができない。また、遊技機の構造を変更しなければならずコスト高になるという問題を有している。   However, in the method of the above-mentioned patent document 1, since only the sound emitted from the speaker is reflected, the basic problem that the effect sound of the adjacent gaming machine is likely to enter cannot be solved. In addition, there is a problem that the structure of the gaming machine must be changed and the cost is increased.

本発明は、上記従来の問題を解決するものであって、遊技機の構造を変更することなく、隣接する遊技機の演出音が遊技者の耳に入るのを防止することができ、該当遊技機の演出音のみを聴くことができる遊技機用集音装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and can prevent the production sound of an adjacent gaming machine from entering the player's ear without changing the structure of the gaming machine. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sound collecting device for gaming machines that can listen only to the sound produced by the machine.

そのために本発明の遊技機用集音装置は、合成樹脂製で椀状の一対の集音カップと、それぞれの集音カップに接続された集音チューブと、各集音チューブの他端に接続されたイヤホーンとを備え、前記集音カップの上部および下部には上部突起片および下部突起片が形成され、前記上部突起片には係合穴が形成され、下部突起片には重りを配設し、前記上部突起片の前記係合穴を遊技機のスピーカの上部に形成した係止具に係合することを特徴とする。
また、前記集音チューブの途中には接続カップリングが装着され、該接続カップリングは２つの部材が着脱自在にされており、それぞれの部材に集音チューブが接続され、イヤホーンを切り離し可能にしたことを特徴とする。
以上 For this purpose, the sound collecting device for gaming machines of the present invention is connected to a pair of bowl-shaped sound collecting cups made of synthetic resin, a sound collecting tube connected to each sound collecting cup, and the other end of each sound collecting tube. An upper projection piece and a lower projection piece are formed on the upper and lower parts of the sound collecting cup , an engagement hole is formed on the upper projection piece, and a weight is provided on the lower projection piece. Then, the engaging hole of the upper protrusion piece is engaged with a locking tool formed on the upper part of the speaker of the gaming machine .
In addition, a connection coupling is mounted in the middle of the sound collection tube, and two members of the connection coupling are detachable, and the sound collection tube is connected to each member so that the earphone can be disconnected. It is characterized by that.
