When the part 182A is engaged so as to cover a part or all of the engaging recess 180A, and a tool such as a bar is inserted incorrectly between the outer frame 180 and the inner frame 182, and the inner frame 182 is opened, The engaging projection 182A is deformed or broken. In the state where the outer frame 180 and the inner frame 182 are engaged, at least a part of the engaging recess 180A is exposed, so that a tool such as a bar is inserted and damaged. The store clerk can find it early.

  In the present embodiment, the engaging concave portion 180A and the engaging convex portion 182A have been described. Of course, fraudulent acts can be easily detected by using the same structure for the engaging concave portion 180B and the engaging convex portion 182B. Needless to say, it is preferable to adopt this structure in other parts.

  Further, as another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, it is also preferable to attach an identification pattern M to the engaging recess 180 </ b> A. This figure is an example of the identification pattern M attached to the engaging recess 180A according to another embodiment of the present invention.

  The identification pattern M is given as a wavy pattern on the side surface b and the front surface c of the engagement recess 180A. In addition, the method of attaching the identification pattern M to the engaging recess 180A may be drawn directly with ink or the like on the engaging recess 180A, or a sealing material having a pattern on the surface may be attached to the engaging recess 180A.

  As described above, when the engagement convex portion 182A is deformed or damaged by attaching the pattern M as the identification information to the engagement concave portion 180A, the engagement concave portion 180A is formed on another surface (for example, the outer frame 180). The side surface a, the convex upper end surface d of the engaging convex portion 182A, the convex side surface e, and the side surface f of the inner frame 182 are displayed in a different manner. That is, the store clerk of the game store can more easily recognize that the engaging convex portion 182A is deformed and the engaging concave portion 180 is exposed due to the cheating, and can detect the cheating at an early stage. .

  Accordingly, the engagement recess 180A includes display means (for example, the identification pattern M or a layer structure identification pattern N described later) having identification information (for example, the identification pattern M or a layer structure identification pattern N described later). When the joint 182A is deformed or damaged, the display means displays the identification information indicating that the inner frame 182 has been opened by an illegal act to the outside. Since it becomes easier to recognize that the mating convex portion 182A is destroyed and the engaging concave portion 180A is exposed, it is possible to find out earlier that fraud has been performed by inserting the burl.

  Further, since the identification information has a form different from the form of the surface of any side surface of at least the outer frame 180 and the inner frame 182, it becomes easier to recognize that the engaging recess 180 </ b> A is exposed. It is possible to detect earlier that fraudulent activity has been carried out by inserting.

  In addition, the identification pattern M should just have at least any one of the side surface b and the front surface c of the engagement recessed part 180A. That is, because the identification pattern M of at least one of the side surface b and the front surface c of the engagement recess 180A is different from the patterns of the other surfaces a, d, e, Can be found in.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, as the third embodiment of the present invention, the engaging convex portion 250 may be formed so as to become thinner toward the tip 252 (the engaging concave portion 190 side). . The engaging convex portion 250 is substantially the same as the engaging convex portion 182A according to the first embodiment except for the shape difference that the tip 252 is narrowed, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted. .

  The engaging convex part 250 becomes so thin that it goes to the front-end | tip 252 from a root part, and is what is called a taper shape. The engaging recess 190 is tapered so as to face the engaging convex portion 250, and the engaging concave portion 190 and the engaging convex portion 250 are engaged in a substantially intimate state. Furthermore, since the engagement concave portion 190 and the engagement convex portion 250 are tapered in a direction away from the front side (player) side, it is not possible to use the bar with the island facility 320 as a lever. It is very difficult to pry open the door with human power, and as a result, cheating can be prevented.

  As described above, by narrowing the engaging convex portion 250 toward the tip 252, the probability that the tip 252 of the engaging convex portion 250 is deformed or damaged in the case of fraudulent acts is increased. The engaging recess 190 can be exposed. In other words, the store clerk at the amusement store can detect even a small amount of fraud more reliably and early.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, as the fourth embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the engagement surface of the engagement recess and the engagement protrusion is curved. Note that the engagement recess 260 and the engagement projection 270 are different from the engagement recess 180A and the engagement projection 182A according to the first embodiment except for the geometric difference that the engagement surface is a curved surface. Since it is the same, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The engagement recess 260 and the engagement protrusion 270 are formed with curved surfaces so as to be an R protrusion on the player side, as shown in FIG. In other words, the engagement surfaces of the engagement recess 260 and the engagement protrusion 270 are formed so as to bend away from the player as going to the outer edge of the pachinko machine 100.

  Further, as described above, since the engaging convex portion 270 becomes narrower as it goes to the tip 272, the engaging convex portion 270 is easily deformed or damaged, and the store clerk at the amusement shop can act illegally at an early stage. Can be found.

  As a result, a person who performs fraud must insert the bar (not shown) from the tip 272 curved to the side away from him (opposite side), which is very difficult to insert. Further, even if the bar can be inserted, since the insertion direction is formed in a direction away from itself, the island facility 320 cannot be used as a lever, so the inner frame 182 can be pry open with human power. It becomes very difficult and as a result, fraud can be prevented.

  FIGS. 7A to 7C are cross-sectional views enlarging the vicinity of the engaging concave portion and the engaging convex portion according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. The engaging convex portion according to the fifth embodiment is characterized in that a constricted portion or a notch is formed in the vicinity of the base of the engaging convex portion. The engagement recess shown in FIG. 10A is the engagement recess 180A of the first embodiment, and the engagement recess shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C is the engagement recess of the third embodiment. Since it is the same as 190, the same number is attached | subjected and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 6A shows an example in which a constricted portion 402 is formed at the base of the engaging convex portion 400. In this way, by providing the constricted portion 402 that is a weak structural member that deforms or breaks even with a small force in the vicinity of the base of the engaging convex portion 400, external force such as a bar concentrates on the constricted portion 402, and the engaging convex portion 400. Tends to deform or break. Therefore, even with a slight fraud, the engaging convex portion 400 is deformed and the engaging concave portion 180A below it is exposed, so that the store clerk of the amusement shop can discover that there has been an illegal act at an early stage. .

  FIG. 5B shows an example in which a plurality of constricted portions 422 are formed on the engaging convex portion 420 and further narrows toward the tip 424. As in this embodiment, the engagement convex portion 420 is provided with a plurality of constricted portions 422, and becomes narrower in a triangular shape as it goes to the tip 424. Get higher. Therefore, also in this case, the store clerk of the amusement store can find out that there has been an illegal act at an early stage.

  Therefore, since the convex part (for example, engagement convex part 400, 420, 440) of said 5th Embodiment has a weak structure part (for example, constriction part 402, 422, 442) at least partially. Even a slight force of the bar increases the possibility of being deformed or damaged, and the store clerk can detect that there has been an illegal act early.

  Further, since the constricted portion 422 is formed on the engaging convex portion 420 stepwise, the engaging convex portion 420 is deformed or damaged stepwise depending on the magnitude of the force applied by the bar. For example, when a force sufficient to completely pry the inner frame 182 is applied, the force is completely deformed or broken to the base of the engaging projection 420, but a small force that cannot be completely pricked is applied. In some cases, the deformation or breakage is only halfway. That is, the store clerk at the amusement shop can immediately confirm the amount of deformation visually and can estimate the degree of damage, so that the subsequent response method can be quickly determined.

  FIG. 6C is an example in which a plurality of constricted portions 442 are formed in the engaging convex portion 440 in the direction facing the engaging concave portion 190. In other words, a plurality of engaging convex portions 440 are provided to protrude from the inner frame 180 toward the engaging concave portion 190.

  Accordingly, as described above, the engagement convex portion 440 is deformed or damaged by the bar even with a small force, and the lower engagement concave portion 190 is exposed. A quick response can be taken.

  In the case of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the engaging recesses and the engaging projections are formed in a direction away from the player, so that the third and fourth embodiments are used. As with, it is difficult to insert a crowbar and it is very difficult to do fraud.

  Next, the engagement recessed part and the engagement convex part which concern on 6th Embodiment of this invention are demonstrated using Fig.8 (a)-(e). In FIGS. 5B to 5D, the inner frame 182 is omitted.

  In the sixth embodiment, when a tool such as a piano wire is inserted between the outer frame 180 and the inner frame 182, the return for preventing the piano wire from entering the pachinko machine 100 is an engagement recess or engagement. It is characterized in that it is provided on the convex part.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4A, a key-like engagement recess 501 is provided in the outer frame 180. The cross-sectional shape of the engaging recess 501 is formed in a key portion 504 that is formed with a recess 502 that is one step lower when viewed from the outside of the side surface of the pachinko machine 100, and further has a step that is lower. .

  Further, the engagement convex portion 550 of the inner frame 182 is a first convex portion at a position facing the recess 502 of the engagement concave portion 501 of the outer frame 180 when the inner frame 182 is closed and engaged with the outer frame 180. 552 is formed, and a second convex portion 554 is formed at a position facing the key portion 504.

  The concave-side bottom surface 503 that continuously connects the recess 502 and the key portion 504 and the convex-side bottom surface 553 that continuously connects the first convex portion 552 and the second convex portion 554 are engaged in a substantially intimate state. Yes. Therefore, in a state where the outer frame 180 and the inner frame 182 are engaged, even a thin tool such as a piano wire used for fraudulent acts enters the pachinko machine 100 unless the inner frame 182 is completely opened. I can't.

  Further, even if the space passes between the concave side bottom surface 503 and the convex side bottom surface 553, the outer frame 180 is formed with the key portion 504 bent in the direction of the engaging convex portion 500. The approach direction can be changed by the portion 504 so that it cannot enter the pachinko machine 100.

  The first convex portion 552 is a thin plate-like member similar to the first embodiment, and is easily deformed or damaged when it is pry open with a bar or the like. It is possible to detect fraud early. Of course, it is needless to say that the constricted portion or notch described in the fourth embodiment may be provided in the vicinity of the root of the first convex portion 552. By providing the constricted portion or the notch, even a slight illegal act of prying open the inner frame 182 can be detected reliably and early.

  Moreover, it is preferable to attach | subject the identification pattern M demonstrated in other embodiment mentioned above to the side surface facing the 1st convex part 552 of the hollow 502 (refer FIG. 5). By attaching the identification pattern M to the engaging recess 502, the store clerk of the game shop can more reliably and quickly find fraud.

  Note that the shape of the key portion 504 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 5A as long as it can change the entry direction of a thin wire tool such as a piano wire. ) To (d) and other shapes are also preferable.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5B, the tip of the key portion 504 is a second key portion 504A that is further bent by 90 ° in the direction opposite to the front surface (inner frame 180) side. It is difficult to enter. Further, the embodiment shown in FIG. 6C is a tapered portion 504B having a tapered shape in which the tip of the key portion 504 is formed obliquely in a direction away from the front surface (inner frame 180). The piano wire is more difficult to enter. Further, the embodiment shown in FIG. 4D is an R portion 504C in which the tip of the key portion 504 has an R shape, and the tip of the R portion 504C is further away from the front surface (inner frame 180). Because it is formed toward the, piano wire and the like are more difficult to enter.

  It should be noted that the key portion 602 may be formed on the engaging convex portion 600 of the inner frame 182 as in the embodiment shown in FIG. More specifically, a key portion 602 whose tip is bent outwardly of the pachinko machine 100 is formed on the inner side of the pachinko machine 100 of the engagement convex portion 600 of the inner frame 182. Thus, even if the key portion 602 is formed on the engaging convex portion 600, there is an effect similar to that provided with the key portion in the engaging concave portion, and entry into the pachinko machine 100 such as a piano wire can be prevented. In this case, engagement concave portions 650 and 652 are provided on the outer and inner sides of the pachinko machine 100 of the outer frame 180, respectively, so that the outer frame 180 has a convex portion 653. Since this convex part 653 is accommodated so as to block the accommodating part 602A formed by the engaging convex part 600 and the key part 602, it is possible to more reliably prevent the thin line such as a piano wire from entering the pachinko machine 100. it can.

  Next, the engagement convex part and the engagement concave part which concern on 7th Embodiment of this invention are demonstrated using Fig.9 (a). In the seventh embodiment, the engaging convex portion 700 is different from the inner frame 182 and is formed of a soft material that is easily deformed or damaged with a small force, and the engaging convex portion 700 is easily deformed or damaged. There are features. As a result, the inner frame 182 serving as a storage box for another gaming device can be formed of a rigid member so as to protect the other gaming device, and only the engaging projection 700 can be formed of a low strength member. it can.

  Therefore, the convex portion (engagement convex portion 700) is formed of a member different from the outer frame 180 or the inner frame 182 provided with the convex portion, and is formed of a softer material than the outer frame 180 or the inner frame 182. Therefore, the engaging projection 700 is easily deformed or damaged, and the store clerk of the amusement store can detect at an early stage that an illegal act has been performed.

  In other words, when the inner frame 182 is pry open with a bar or the like, the engaging convex portion 700 is easily deformed or broken, and the store clerk of the amusement shop can detect an illegal act at an early stage. Moreover, when only the engagement convex part 700 is damaged, since only the engagement convex part 700 can be replaced, the replacement cost can be reduced.

  FIG. 9B is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the engaging concave portion and the engaging convex portion of the outer frame 180 and the inner frame 182 according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention. The ninth embodiment is characterized in that a layer structure identification pattern N is attached to the engaging recess 182A.

  The identification pattern N has a three-layer structure (first layer N1 to third layer N3), and is turned up one layer one layer like a seal. As shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, the side surface a is a wall surface pattern of the outer frame 180 (for example, a resin or metal side surface pattern). The side surface b is a pattern on the inner surface of the engagement recess 182A, and is, for example, a wavy pattern. The side surface c is a pattern of the first layer N1 of the identification pattern N. The pattern of the first layer N1 is a wavy pattern that is continuous with the side surface b in this embodiment. The side surface d is a pattern of the second layer N2 of the identification pattern N. In this embodiment, it has a dot pattern. When the first layer N1 of the identification pattern N is turned, the second layer N2 is exposed. The side surface e is a pattern of the third layer N3 of the identification pattern N. In this embodiment, it is a caution character. When the second layer N2 of the identification pattern N is turned, the third layer N3 is exposed. The side surface f is a pattern attached to the side wall of the engagement recess 182. In this embodiment, the side surface f has a design with a face. When the third layer N3 of the identification pattern N is turned over, the side surface of the engagement recess 182 is exposed, and a face pattern appears.

  The side faces a to f can be freely selected by the amusement shop clerk easily recognizing the brightness of the in-store lighting of the amusement shop, and can be set by turning the identification pattern N according to the clerk's preference. it can. In other words, when the store clerk of the game store feels that the attention character on the side e is most easily recognized, it can be set by turning the first layer N1 of the identification pattern N and exposing the second layer N2. .

  Of course, the pattern (design) and the number of layers of the identification pattern N are not limited to the present embodiment. For example, when there is black light illumination in the amusement store, the side surface of the engagement recess is black. It is also preferable to apply a paint that glows in response to light.

  Further, contrary to the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, an engagement convex portion 181 may be provided on the outer frame 180, and an engagement concave portion 183 may be provided on the inner frame 182.

  FIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the engaging convex portion 181 and the engaging concave portion 183 of the outer frame 180 and the inner frame 182 according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention.

  The engaging convex portion 181 provided on the outer frame 180 is a thin plate-like protrusion similar to the engaging convex portion 182A described in the first embodiment. Therefore, when trying to open the inner frame 182 with a bar or the like in order to pry it open, the engaging convex portion 181 of the outer frame 180 is deformed or damaged.

  Further, the inner frame 182 is provided with an engagement recess 183 so as to engage with the engagement projection 181 of the outer frame 180. Therefore, when the engaging convex portion 181 is deformed or damaged, the engaging surface 183A of the engaging concave portion 183 is exposed. That is, since the exposed engagement surface 183A differs from the surface states of the engagement recess 183 and the inner frame 182, the store clerk of the game shop can recognize the illegal act and can detect the illegal act earlier.

  Further, it is more preferable that the engagement surface 183 of the engagement recess 183 is provided with the identification pattern as described in the previous embodiment. By attaching the identification pattern, the store clerk of the amusement shop can recognize the illegal act and can detect the illegal act earlier.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the engagement recesses and the engagement protrusions of the outer frame 180 and the inner frame 182, but may be used for the outer edge of the inner frame 182 and the upper door 150 or the lower door 160. preferable. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, it may be preferably used for a substrate case that houses a main control board 192 and a power supply board 198.

  A substrate case 200 shown in FIG. 11 accommodates the main control substrate 192. The substrate case 200 includes a lid member 210 and a substrate housing member 220, and the lid member 210 is pivotally supported with respect to the substrate housing member 220 so as to be opened and closed. On the other hand, the main control board 192 is housed in the housing space 220 </ b> A of the board housing member 220.

  The lid member 210 is a hexahedron member having an opening on one surface, and an engaging convex portion 212 is formed on the outer edge of the opening.

  The substrate housing member 220 is a hexahedron member having an opening on one surface, and a housing portion 220A for housing the main control board 192 is provided. An engaging recess 222 is formed on the outer edge of the opening.

  When the lid member 210 is closed and engaged with the substrate housing member 220, the engagement convex portion 212 engages so as to cover at least a part of the engagement concave portion 222.

  Therefore, when the lid member 210 is to be pry open with a bar or the like, the engaging convex portion 212 is deformed or damaged, and the engaging surface 222A that engages with the engaging convex portion 212 of the engaging concave portion 222 is exposed. ing. With the above configuration, the store clerk of the game store can visually confirm that the engagement convex portion 212 of the substrate case 200 is deformed, and can detect an illegal act at an early stage.

  Needless to say, the identification pattern may be exposed on the engagement surface 222A that engages with the engagement convex portion 212 of the engagement concave portion 222 in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment. Can make it easier to detect fraud.

  Of course, a constriction or a notch may be formed near the base of the convex portion of the engaging convex portion 212 to facilitate deformation, and the engaging convex portion 212 is preferably formed of another member having low strength. In any case, the engaging convex portion 212 can be easily deformed or damaged, and can be detected early.
