The applied pressing force is adjusted moderately, and distortion and deformation of the outer frame 11 are prevented.

  Next, the configuration of the gaming machine fixing device 30 will be described.

  8 shows a partial cross section of the right side of the gaming machine fixing device 30, FIG. 9 shows the front of the gaming machine fixing device 30, and FIG. 10 shows the bottom of the gaming machine fixing device 30. The gaming machine fixing device 30 includes a housing part 31 having a U-shaped cross section and a predetermined length, and a frame 32 extending vertically downward from the rear end of the housing part 31 so as to form an L shape as a whole. . The gaming machine fixing device 30 is fixed to the upper frame plate 4 with a screw passing through a fixing female screw hole 31a.

  The gaming machine fixing device 30 includes a lever 34 having a cam portion 33 formed at the base end, a swinging member 35 in contact with the cam portion 33, and a pressing piston 36 to which the movement of the swinging member 35 is transmitted. And a hard high friction member 37 attached to the tip of the pressing piston 36.

  The lever 34 is pivotally supported in the vicinity of the base end by a lever support shaft 41 provided at the upper rear end of the housing portion 31. The swing member 35 is a member having a U-shaped section that is slightly smaller than the housing portion 31. The swing member 35 is pivotally supported by the swing member support shaft 42 in the vicinity of the front end of the housing portion 31 and swings inside the housing portion 31. Contained movably. A slit 35a is formed on the upper surface of the swing member 35 along the longitudinal direction of the swing member 35, and an adjusting member 38 that is slidably moved along the slit 35a is fitted into the slit 35a. . The adjusting member 38 includes a pressing portion 38a below the slit 35a and a handle portion 38b above the slit 35a. The pressing portion 38a has a wedge shape in which the thickness increases toward the rear end side of the housing portion 31.

  On both side surfaces of the swing member 35, vertically long slots 35 b are formed so as to face each other. The upper end portion of the pressing piston 36 is supported by a piston support shaft 43 inserted through the long holes 35b on both side surfaces, and can be moved up and down along the long holes 35b together with the piston support shaft 43. A cylinder 31b is provided at the bottom of the housing portion 31 so as to surround the outer periphery of the pressing piston 36, and restricts the orbit of the vertical movement of the pressing piston 36 in the vertical direction.

  The pressing piston 36 is urged upward by a spring 44 against the bottom surface of the housing portion 31. Further, the swinging member 35 is biased by a spring 44 via a pressing piston 36 and an adjusting member 38 so that the end portion on the cam portion 34 side is lifted upward. Since the rear end of the swinging member 35 is biased so as to be lifted, the contact state between the upper surface of the rear end of the swinging member 35 and the cam portion 33 is maintained. In FIG. 9, the spring 44 is not shown.

  The lever 34 is formed with a relief hole 34a for preventing interference with the pressing portion 38a of the adjusting member 38 when the lever 34 is tilted forward.

  In the gaming machine fixing device 30, the vertical position of the pressing piston 36 relative to the swinging member 35 is adjusted by sliding the adjustment member 38 back and forth to change the arrangement position. Further, when the lever 34 is tilted forward, the convex portion of the cam portion 33 pushes down the rear end of the swinging member 35, and the pressing piston 36 advances downward as the swinging member 35 swings downward. A state in which the gaming machine 10 is pressed from above by the high friction member 37 at the tip is formed.

The tilt angle changing mechanism 50 includes a rotation base 51 that rotates in parallel with the mounting surface, and a plurality of protrusions 52 having different lengths arranged perpendicular to the rotation base 51 at equal angular intervals. The In this example, three protrusions 52 are provided at intervals of 120 degrees. The rotation base 51 is configured to be caught and stopped every time any one of the protrusions 52 comes directly above.

  As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the gaming machine 10 is placed on the seat plate 21 slightly inclined rearward from the front side, the front end of the bottom of the gaming machine 10 serves as a fulcrum 25. The machine 10 can be tilted backward. In the gaming machine 10, when the upper rear surface of the outer frame 11 comes into contact with the protruding portion 52 that is located directly above, the rearward inclination is restricted and the inclination angle is maintained. Therefore, the inclination angle of the gaming machine 10 can be changed by rotating the rotation base 51 of the inclination angle changing mechanism 50 to change the length of the protrusion 52 that comes to the position immediately above. In the case of the tilt angle changing mechanism 50 of this example, since the three types of protrusions 52 having different lengths are provided, the tilt angle can be switched in three stages.

  FIG. 11 shows details of the high friction member 37. As shown in FIG. 2A, the high friction member 37 has teeth formed in a plurality of rows, and is intermittently formed in each row (pitch P in the drawing). By providing a plurality of rows, a wide contact range is secured, and by providing teeth intermittently, the contact area is reduced, the pressing force per unit area is increased, and the outer frame 11 is easily bited. What is necessary is just to set suitably the pitch P, the number of rows | lines, the space | interval of rows, etc.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the high friction member 37 has a reverse bowl shape with respect to the direction from the back surface to the front surface of the gaming machine 10. For example, the teeth are formed so as to form a slope with respect to the insertion direction of the gaming machine 10 and to be perpendicular to the extraction direction. When the front frame 12 is opened after the gaming machine 10 is installed on the gaming machine island 2, the center of gravity moves forward, and the gaming machine 10 easily moves forward. Therefore, by making the hard high-friction member 37 into a saddle shape opposite to the direction from the back to the front of the gaming machine 10, the saddle acts on the opposite side of the gaming machine trying to move forward, The movement of the gaming machine 10 is effectively prevented. Thereby, even if the pressing force from above by the gaming machine fixing device 30 is reduced, the gaming machine 10 can be firmly fixed. In addition, it can respond | correspond to the outer frame 11 of various materials, such as a product made from wooden and aluminum, by making it a bowl shape. The hard high-friction member 37 may be, for example, a file or a sword mountain shape, and may be made of a metal such as iron, a ceramic, or a hard mineral such as diamond.

  FIG. 12 shows an operation procedure when the gaming machine 10 is fixed to the gaming machine island 2 by using the gaming machine fixing device 30. The protrusion 52 is selected in advance so that the tilt angle changing mechanism 50 is rotated to obtain a desired tilt angle. Thereafter, the gaming machine 10 is placed on the seat plate 21, and the upper rear surface of the outer frame 11 is brought into contact with the protrusion 52 (FIG. 12A). Thereby, the inclination angle of the gaming machine 10 is set.

  Next, the adjustment member 38 is slid toward the front side of the gaming machine 10 to move the pressing piston 36 downward, and the high friction provided at the tip of the pressing piston 36 on the upper surface of the outer frame 11 of the gaming machine 10. The member 37 is brought into contact. As a result, the pressing movement start position of the pressing piston 36 corresponding to the variation in the height of each gaming machine 10 is determined (FIG. 12B).

  Next, the lever 34 is pulled down. By this operation, the swinging member 35 is pushed down on the convex side of the cam portion 33, the pressing piston 36 is lowered via the adjusting member 38, and the pressing force against the outer frame 11 of the gaming machine 10 increases. Thus, the gaming machine 10 is fixed to the gaming machine island 2 by pressing the gaming machine 10 against the seat plate 21 and the lower frame plate 3 from above (FIG. 12C).

  Since the lever 34 and the swing member 35 each function as a “lever”, the outer frame 11 can be pressed by pushing down the pressing piston 36 with a small operating force. Further, since the elastic member 24 is provided on the seat plate 21, the excessive pressing force is relieved, and the pressing force applied to the outer frame 11 of the gaming machine 10 is adjusted to an appropriate magnitude, so that the outer frame 11 is distorted or deformed. Can be prevented. Further, since the reinforcing frame 22 that connects the upper frame plate 4 and the lower frame plate 3 is provided on both sides of the outer frame 11, the reaction force when the outer piston 11 is pressed by pushing down the pressing piston 36 is increased. Even if it is added to the plate 4 or the lower frame plate 3, these distortions, deflections, deformations and the like are prevented.

  Furthermore, since the hard high friction member 37 is pressed, even if a large force such as opening the front frame 12 acts on the outer frame 11 of the gaming machine 10, the outer frame 11 is displaced relative to the gaming machine island 2. There is no, it is fixed firmly.

  Next, an inclination angle adjustment mechanism having a fine adjustment function will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 13, reinforcing metal fittings 14 are usually attached to the corners of the upper rear surface of the outer frame 11 of the gaming machine 10, and the metal fittings 14 are on both the left and right sides and only on one side.

  The cylinder 63 that accommodates the tilt angle changing piston 61 and the rotor 62 is fixed to the frame 32 by a fixing screw 69. The tilt angle changing piston 61 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is provided with a rib 61a extending in the axial direction of the outer peripheral surface, and a locking groove 63a extending in the axial direction at a location corresponding to the rib 61a is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 63. Is formed. By engaging the rib 61a and the locking groove 63a, the inclination angle changing piston 61 advances and retreats in the axial direction in the cylinder 63 without rotating relative to the cylinder 63. A disc-shaped rotation base 64 is pivotally supported by a shaft support screw 67 at the tip of the tilt angle changing piston 61. The rotation base 64 has a plurality of protrusions 64a having different lengths formed on the surface. When the rotation base 64 is rotated relative to the tilt angle changing piston 61, the rotation base 64 is configured to be caught and stopped every time any of the protrusions 64a comes directly above. A slope 61 b is formed at the rear end of the tilt angle changing piston 61.

  A slope 62 a that contacts the slope 61 b of the tilt angle changing piston 61 is formed at the tip of the rotor 62 (the end on the tilt angle changing piston 61 side). A rotary knob 65 is connected to the rear end of the rotor 62. Specifically, a hexagonal connection protrusion 62b is formed at the rear end of the rotor 62, and engages with a hexagonal hole 65a formed at the center of the rotary knob 65 so that these rotate integrally.

  The tilt angle adjusting mechanism 60 houses the rotor 62 and the tilt angle changing piston 61 in the cylinder 63, and connects the rotary knob 65 to the rear end of the rotor 62, and then rotates the spring 66 with the cap 66a. 65, and a retaining screw 68 for preventing retaining is provided from the outer side of the cap 66a to the cap 66a and the spring 66, the rotary knob 65, the cylinder 63, and the rotor 62 through a hole provided in the center thereof. Assembling is performed by inserting a retaining screw 68 into a screw receiving portion 61c that is penetrated and is erected at the center of the inside of the piston 61 for changing the inclination angle. The inclination angle changing piston 61 is urged toward the rotor 62 by a spring 66, and the spring 66 expands and contracts as the inclination angle changing piston 61 advances and retreats.

  As shown in FIG. 16, when the rotary knob 65 is rotated, the rotor 62 rotates in conjunction with the rotation knob 65, and the inclined surface 61 b at the rear end of the tilt angle changing piston 61 and the tip of the rotor 62 are rotated. The contact location with the slope 62a changes. As a result, the distance between the tilt angle changing piston 61 and the rotor 62 changes, and the tilt angle changing piston 61 moves forward and backward relative to the cylinder 63. A scale 65b is marked on the back surface of the rotary knob 65, and a mark rib 63b is marked on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 63, so that the inclination adjustment value can be confirmed by the scale value indicated by the mark rib. .

  When a plurality of gaming machines 10 are installed, for the first gaming machine 10, the front frame 12 is opened and the rotary knob 65 is turned to finely adjust the tilt angle, and the scale value at that time is read. For the second and subsequent gaming machines 10, if the scale value is adjusted in advance to the value read in advance before placing the gaming machine 10 on the seat plate 21, the installation work is advanced without opening the front frame 12. be able to. In this way, by using the tilt angle adjustment mechanism 60 provided with the fine adjustment mechanism, even when the metal fitting 14 is only on one side of the upper rear surface of the outer frame 11 of the gaming machine 10, a difference corresponding to the thickness of the metal fitting 14 is obtained. Can be finely adjusted, and the right and left inclination angles can be made uniform.
