As shown in FIG. 11, the inter-device equipment of the island facility according to the present embodiment is installed between adjacent pachinko gaming machines P of the island facility S in the pachinko game shop, and is directed forward (front side in the figure). An air curtain can be formed by blowing air. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the apparatus main body 2, the fan member 3, the motor 4, the suction port 5, the discharge port 6, and the guide member 12. And a lock means 13, a control board 14, and a housing portion 22.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the pachinko gaming machine P has a fixed frame Pb fixed to the island facility S and a front door Pa that can be opened and closed with respect to the fixed frame Pb. In Pa, a glass frame and a game board mounting frame (inner frame) are formed. However, the front door Pa can be opened with respect to the fixed frame Pb by rotating in a predetermined direction while inserting a key into a key hole formed on the right edge. In addition, the code | symbol Pc in the figure has shown the hinge which can open and close the front door Pa with respect to the fixed frame Pb.

  The device main body 2 constitutes the housing of the inter-device device 1 and has a box shape that is vertically elongated as a whole. The device main body 2 can be installed near the side of the pachinko gaming machine P in the island facility S and is installed inside. Various components are housed. The device body 2 has a vertical dimension that is substantially the same as the height dimension of the pachinko gaming machine P, with the front surface 2a facing the front of the island facility S and the rear surface 2b and side surfaces (the upper surface and the lower surface are the same). It comes to be fixed inside the island facility S. In addition, the code | symbol 22 has shown the accommodating part which can accommodate the description in which description regarding the game content of the pachinko game machine P was described in the figure, and the code | symbol 22a is a latch for latching the accommodated manual Means are shown. Reference numeral 2 c denotes an insertion slot for inserting a manual into the accommodating portion 22.

  Here, the device main body 2 according to the present embodiment is provided with a lock means 13 for restricting the opening of the front door Pa in the pachinko gaming machine P near the side thereof. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 to 8, the locking means 13 includes a slide rail 19 that is fixed substantially linearly in the front-rear direction of the apparatus body 2, and slides along the slide rail 19. Then, the movable member 20 that can be moved forward or backward, the lock member 13a formed at the tip of the movable member 20, and the movable member 20 and the lock member 13a are attached to the forward side from the lock position toward the non-lock position. It is mainly composed of a spring s (biasing means) that urges, a locking member 15 that locks the movable member 20 at a predetermined position, and a solenoid 23 (release means) that operates the locking member 15.

  A plurality (four in the present embodiment) of rolling members 21 are formed in the movable member 20 along the longitudinal direction thereof. Each of the rolling members 21 is disposed so as to be able to roll around the axis L2 while being in contact with the sliding rail 19, and the rolling member 21 rolls as the movable member 20 slides. The movable member 20 is configured to be able to slide smoothly and smoothly. The lock member 13a is made of, for example, a resin molded product formed in a hook shape. As shown in FIG. 10, the lock member 13a is in the locked position (α) when the movable member 20 is retracted and unlocked when the movable member 20 is advanced. The position (β) is set.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the lock member 13a is swingable (free) with respect to the movable member 20 around the axis L1 formed at the tip of the movable member 20 when in the unlocked position (β). State) and is configured to be restricted from swinging about the axis L1 when in the locked position (α). That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the movable member 20 is in the retracted state and the lock member 13a is in the lock position (α), the cover member 18 is configured to cover the periphery of the lock member 13a. The swing of the lock member 13a is restricted by the opening edge portion 18a of the cover member 18. Further, when the lock member 13a is in the lock position (α), the back surface of the lock member 13a is in contact with or close to the stopper surface Ta of the stopper T, and this also causes the lock member 13a to swing. It is regulated.

  Thereby, the lock member 13a in the unlocked position (β) can be swung to facilitate opening the front door Pa of the pachinko gaming machine P, while the lock member 13a in the locked position (α) is swung. The front door Pa can be reliably locked (opening restriction). Further, when the movable member 20 moves forward and is in the unlocked position (β), even if an operator or the like interferes with the lock member 13a, the lock member 13a is swingable. Further, it is possible to suppress the load from being excessively applied and to avoid breakage or the like.

  The locking member 15 is swingable about a swing shaft 15b and is always biased upward by a spring (not shown), and is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the movable member 20 at the tip thereof. A claw portion 15a that can be locked to the concave and convex locked portion 20a is formed. Thus, the movable member 20 can be locked when the claw portion 15a is locked to the locked portion 20a. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the lock member 13a is moved backward (that is, locked position ( α)). In this state, the lock member 13a is positioned near the front of the front door Pa (front frame and glass frame) in the pachinko gaming machine P in the vicinity of the side so that the opening of the front door Pa can be regulated. It has become.

  The actuating shaft 23a of the solenoid 23 serving as the release means is connected to the locking member 15. By energizing the solenoid 23 and operating the operating shaft 23a, the locking member 15 is moved by a spring (not shown). It is configured to be able to swing against the urging force. As a result, the claw portion 15a is separated from the locked portion 20 and unlocked, and the movable member 20 slides forward by the urging force of the spring s. Therefore, as shown in FIG. The member 13a can be moved substantially linearly from the locked position (α) to the unlocked position (β).

  Thus, when the movable member 20 slides forward, the lock member 13a moves further forward from the front door Pa in the pachinko gaming machine P, and the opening of the front door Pa can be permitted. As described above, when the locking with respect to the movable member 20 is released by the solenoid 23 (release means), the movable member 20 and the lock member 13a at the lock position (α) are unlocked by the biasing force of the spring s (biasing means). It automatically moves to the position (β), and the workability at the time of unlocking can be improved.

  In addition, since the uneven | corrugated shape of the to-be-latched part 20a formed in the movable member 20 is formed in multiple numbers over the sliding direction of the said movable member 20, the latching | locking of the nail | claw part 15a can be performed in arbitrary parts. Thus, the movable member 20 can be held at an arbitrary position. Therefore, the lock position (α) and the non-lock position (β) of the lock member 13a can be set according to the form of the pachinko gaming machine P.

  Further, the device main body 2 is formed with an operating means 7 (which will be described in detail later), an indicator lamp 9 and a jet nozzle 10 on the front surface 2a. The indicator lamp 9 is formed of a plurality of LEDs, and can light up and display the drive state of the fan member 3 (drive state of the motor 4) and the operation state of the lock means 13. The spout 10 is an opening for spraying the charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomized fine particle water generator 11 (see FIG. 2) forward (player side). The electrostatic atomized fine particle water generator 11 is for supplying water from the nozzle 11a provided on the back surface 2b to make this water into charged fine particle water by electrostatic atomization action. The air in the vicinity of the player is cleaned or humidified, so that a comfortable game space can be obtained.

  The fan member 3 is a fan called a so-called cross flow fan. As shown in FIG. 2, the fan member 3 is disposed so as to be rotatable around a rotation shaft extending in the vertical direction in the apparatus main body 2, and on the side surface. It consists of the substantially cylindrical thing in which the blade | wing for ventilation was formed. The fan member 3 is rotatably attached to the frame, and a motor 4 is formed on the upper portion of the frame.

  The motor 4 is a drive source for rotating the fan member 3 around the rotation axis. Thus, in the present embodiment, the fan member 3 and the motor 4 are assembled and integrated into the same frame to constitute the air blowing unit Y, and the air blowing unit Y is vertically arranged in the apparatus main body 2. A plurality (two in this embodiment) are arranged in parallel. In addition, in this embodiment, although the two ventilation units Y are arrange | positioned up and down, it is good also as what arrange | positioned one or three or more over the up-down direction. That is, the blower unit Y can be arranged at an arbitrary position according to the formation positions of the suction port 5 and the discharge port 6 formed in the apparatus main body 2 and the arrangement relationship of other components.

  The suction port 5 opens at the back surface 2 b of the apparatus main body 2, and can suck air into the apparatus main body 2 by the rotational drive of the fan member 3. In addition to the suction port 5, a suction port is also formed which opens on the side surface of the device body 2 and can suck air into the device body 2 by rotational driving of the fan member 3. However, in this embodiment, the suction port 5 is formed on the back surface 2b and the side surface of the apparatus main body 2, but is formed on the other surface (the upper surface or the lower surface of the device main body 2) other than the front surface 2a. Also good. Note that reference numeral 16 in FIG. 2 denotes an activated carbon filter covering the suction port 5, and the air sucked from the suction port 5 can be filtered and purified.

  The discharge port 6 extends in the vertical direction on the front surface 2a side of the apparatus main body 2 and opens in a slit shape, and can blow air forward by discharging air sucked from the suction port 5 by the rotational drive of the fan member 3. Therefore, a so-called air curtain can be formed between adjacent pachinko gaming machines P by such blowing. That is, in the present embodiment, since the suction port 5 is formed on the back surface 2b (and the side surface) of the apparatus body 2, the discharge port 6 can be formed over a wide range on the front surface 2a of the apparatus body 2. The width of the air curtain in the height direction (vertical direction) (the height of the wall formed by the air flow) can be set large.

  Further, on the front surface 2a of the apparatus main body 2, the fan member 3 is turned on / off (ie, the motor 4 is turned on / off) or the rotational speed of the fan member 3 is arbitrarily adjusted. The operating means 7 is provided. Specifically, the operating means 7 includes an operation knob that can be pressed and rotated. The fan member 3 is started or stopped by the pressing operation, and the variable resistor 8 (FIG. 2) is rotated by the rotating operation. The fan member 3 can be adjusted to an arbitrary rotational speed by changing the current sent to the motor 4 by operating the reference.

  The guide member 12 guides the air blown from the fan member 3 to the discharge port 6, and is composed of a partition plate that partitions the internal space of the apparatus main body 2 into the left and right sides. Guide and guide you. That is, the air sucked from the suction port 5 by the rotational drive of the fan member 3 is guided and guided to the discharge port 6 while being rectified on the surface of the guide member 12 in the process of flowing toward the discharge port 6. It has been done.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, a control board 14 on which a predetermined electric circuit is formed is attached to the back surface of the guide member 12 mounted on the upper side of the upper and lower guide members 12. The control board 14 is composed of a printed board including a microcomputer for controlling various electric parts (motor 4, solenoid 23, etc.) disposed in the apparatus main body 2, and is a general fastening means such as a screw. Is fixed to the back side of the guide member 12.

  Thereby, in addition to being able to form an air curtain by blowing air from the fan member 3, the control board 14 can be cooled. That is, it is possible to divert the air for forming the air curtain and suppress the microcomputer and the like on the control board 14 from being overheated by the air. Thus, overheating of the control board 14 can be prevented, and a separate cooling means for the control board 14 is not required. Note that reference numeral 17 in FIG. 2 indicates a cooling means that is formed to protrude from the control board 14.

  According to the above embodiment, the locking means 13 can slide forward and backward by sliding along the slide rail 19 formed substantially linearly in the front-rear direction of the apparatus body 2. And a movable member 20 that is formed at the tip of the movable member 20 and is in the locked position (α) when the movable member 20 is retracted and is in the unlocked position (β) when it is advanced. Since the member 13a is provided, it is reliably avoided that the locking member 13a interferes with the front door Pa of the pachinko gaming machine P in the process of operating the locking member 13a between the locked position (α) and the non-locked position (β). can do.

  Further, the apparatus main body 2 has a substantially cylindrical fan member 3 that is rotatably arranged around a rotating shaft that extends in the vertical direction, and has a blade for blowing air on the side surface. Since the opening 5 is opened at the back surface 2b (and the side surface) of the apparatus main body 2 and the discharge port 6 is opened by opening up and down on the front surface 2a side of the apparatus main body 2, a sufficiently wide air curtain is formed in the height direction. And can sufficiently exhibit the shielding effect of cigarette smoke and the like.

  Moreover, since the air blowing unit Y assembled with the fan member 3 and the motor 4 is provided and a plurality of the air blowing units Y are arranged in the vertical direction in the apparatus main body 2, a sufficiently wide air curtain is formed in the height direction. In addition, the degree of freedom of layout in the apparatus main body 2 can be improved. That is, by adopting a configuration in which a plurality of blower units Y are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, the blower unit Y is blown according to the formation position of the suction port 5 (the same as the suction port on the side) and the discharge port 6 and the arrangement relationship of other components. The unit Y can be arranged at an arbitrary position, and the degree of freedom in layout can be improved.

  Furthermore, since the device body 2 is provided with operation means 7 for turning on / off the drive of the fan member 3 or for arbitrarily adjusting the rotational speed of the fan member 3, a player or a game store The employee or the like can drive the fan member 3 or adjust the rotational speed of the fan member 3 according to the usage situation. The operation means 7 according to the present embodiment is configured by an operation knob that can perform a pressing operation and a rotation operation, but other forms of operation means (for example, for turning on / off the drive of the fan member 3). And the operation means for arbitrarily adjusting the rotational speed of the fan member 3 may be provided separately).

  Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the fan member 3 and the motor 4 are not provided (in this case, the suction port 5 and the discharge port 6 are not formed). Well, furthermore, the operation means 7, the indicator lamp 9, the electrostatic atomized fine particle water generator 11, the housing portion 22 and the like are not provided (that is, a platform device that can lock the front door Pa of the pachinko gaming machine P exclusively) It is also possible to use a device to which another function is added (for example, an inter-unit device having a prepaid card slot or the like).

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a so-called cross flow fan is used as the air blowing means, but it may be in another form (for example, a sirocco fan) that can blow air toward the discharge port. Moreover, in this embodiment, although it is applied to the island facility S in which the pachinko gaming machine P is arranged in parallel, it can be applied to the island facility in which other gaming machines such as a slot machine are arranged in parallel.

The locking means includes a slide rail formed substantially linearly in the front-rear direction of the apparatus main body, a movable member that is slidable along the slide rail and can be moved forward or backward, and the movable member formed at the tip, a non-state in which the movable member is advanced together when you regulate the opening with respect to the fixed frame of the front door is located near the front of the front door is in the locked position with retracted The locked position is moved forward from the front door to allow the front door to be opened with respect to the fixed frame , and can be moved substantially linearly between the locked position and the unlocked position, and An island equipment inter-unit apparatus having a lock member that is swingable with respect to the movable member about an axis extending in the vertical direction and that is restricted when the rocker is in the lock position. , With different appearance or other functions Been the like can also be applied to those.
