Description

  The present invention relates to a bullet ball gaming machine installation island in which bullet ball gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines are arranged.

  The applicant previously applied for a pachinko machine installation island using a pachinko machine that is a typical ball game machine. This relates to the pachinko ball lifting mechanism. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine installation island will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine installation island, a plurality of pachinko gaming machines are arranged along the longitudinal direction on both side surfaces of the installation island main body. Each pachinko gaming machine has a so-called "ball machine" in which pachinko balls are lent out as one of its pachinko gaming machines, in contact with the left side of the pachinko gaming machine when viewed from the front. "Sand Sand" is attached. On the other hand, a supply tank for distributing pachinko balls to each pachinko game machine is arranged at the center upper part in the longitudinal direction of the installed island main body, and supply for circulating and supplying pachinko balls to each pachinko game machine is arranged at the lower center of the tank. A device is provided.

  From the replenishing tank, replenishing ball balls that are gently inclined toward both ends in the longitudinal direction of the installed island body are arranged, and the pachinko balls can be supplied to each pachinko gaming machine via the replenishing ball cages. ing. In addition, below the pachinko gaming machines to be arranged, a collection ball cage is provided that collects pachinko balls discharged from each pachinko gaming machine by tilting downward from both ends of the installed island body toward the ball polishing device. . Further, between islands where adjacent pachinko machines are installed, an inter-island replenishment basket that can replenish pachinko balls with each other is handed over between supply tanks. The lifting rod is formed in a strip shape by arranging a plurality of straight bullet passages on the same plane along the same plane, standing up from the lifting device and having a wide surface on the replenishing tank. They are connected so as to be parallel to the direction (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  By the way, in a pachinko hall with a large floor area, you may not need to pay attention to the length of the pachinko machine installation island along the length of the island. In pachinko halls with a small area that cannot be afforded, it is necessary to pay attention to the length of the island where pachinko machines are installed because the floor area is small. That is, it is desirable that the distance between adjacent pachinko gaming machines is as narrow as possible in the longitudinal direction of each pachinko gaming machine installation island. In general, the interval between adjacent pachinko gaming machines including ball rental machines on the pachinko gaming machine installed islands is set to the same constant size except for the central portion where the lifting rod is disposed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-273018 (page 2-3, FIGS. 1 and 2)

  In the pachinko gaming machine installation island according to Patent Document 1, the wide surface of the lifting rod is arranged so as to be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the installation island body, and the width dimension of the wide surface of the lifting rod Is wider than the interval between pachinko machines along the longitudinal direction of the installed island body. In addition, the island where pachinko machines are installed is very narrow, and it is difficult to place the lifting rods upright between pachinko machines that face each other. Actually, there is a lifting rod between the pachinko machine in the longitudinal direction of the installed island body and the adjacent pachinko machine, so the distance between both pachinko machines in the longitudinal direction of the installed island body Unlike that, the distance between pachinko machines in other parts becomes wider. To be precise, in the longitudinal direction of the installed island body, the dimension between the ball lending machine attached to the pachinko gaming machine in the center of the installed island body and the other pachinko gaming machine adjacent thereto is different from the other parts. It becomes wider by the width dimension of the wide surface of the said lifting rod than the dimension of this. For this reason, the length of the pachinko gaming machine installation island in the longitudinal direction is also increased accordingly, which is contrary to the demand in the pachinko hall where the floor area is not sufficient. By the way, the dimension between the ball lending machine attached to each pachinko gaming machine in the longitudinal direction of the installed island body and the other pachinko gaming machine adjacent thereto is set as the ball lending along the longitudinal direction of the installed island body. When matched with the thickness dimension of the machine, the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the pachinko machine installation island is set to be the shortest.

  In addition, if the dimensions between some pachinko gaming machines in the longitudinal direction of the installed island body are different from the dimensions between other pachinko gaming machines, the appearance is not uniform and the appearance is poor. On the other hand, in order to improve the appearance of the pachinko machine installation island, if the dimensions between the other pachinko machines are expanded to the same dimensions as the wide surface of the lifting rod, the final pachinko machine installation island As a result, the length along the longitudinal direction of the pachinko hall will further increase, and problems on the floor surface of the pachinko hall will emerge. In this way, there were points to be improved on the island where pachinko machines were installed.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned improvements, and not only can meet the demand for pachinko halls with no room for floor space, but also has a uniform appearance and a good-looking ball game machine installation. The purpose is to provide an island.

  In order to achieve such an object, the bullet ball gaming machine installation island according to the present invention touches the left side surface of the bullet ball gaming machine and the bullet ball gaming machine when viewed from the front along the longitudinal direction of the installation island main body. An auxiliary ball lending machine is lined up, and a replenishment tank for distributing the ball to each of the ball game machines is disposed above the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the installation island main body. A ball game machine installation island in which a lifting device is provided that feeds a ball to the replenishing tank via a lifting rod connected to the replenishing tank standing at the lower part of the central portion in the longitudinal direction. The lifting rod is formed in a strip shape by arranging a plurality of bullet passages in parallel along the same plane, and its wide surface is arranged orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the installation island body, A gap between the ball lending machine attached to each ball game machine and another ball game machine adjacent thereto. The dimensions are the same as the width dimension along the longitudinal direction of the installation island body in the lifting rod and the width dimension along the longitudinal direction of the installation island body in the ball lending machine. To do.

At this time, a planar U-shaped vertical groove in which the lifting rod is intervened from the horizontal direction is recessed in one side surface of the installation island main body in the short direction in the supply tank, and the installation island in the vertical groove The inner width dimension along the longitudinal direction of the main body added the width dimension along the longitudinal direction of the installation island body in the lifting rod and the width dimension along the longitudinal direction of the installation island body in the ball lending machine. that is set to greater than or equal to the value of the dimension.

  The bullet ball game machine installation island according to the present invention is formed in a strip shape by arranging a plurality of bullet passages along a single plane of the lifting rod, and the wide surface is the longitudinal direction of the installation island main body. The gap between the ball lending machine attached to each ball game machine and the other ball game machines adjacent to it is along the longitudinal direction of the installation island body in the lifting rod And the width dimension along the longitudinal direction of the installed island body in the ball lending machine. As a result, the lifting rod matches the gap between the ball lending machine and another ball game machine adjacent thereto, and no extra space is required. Therefore, if all the gaps between each ball lending machine and the other ball game machines adjacent to the ball lending machine are set at the same interval as described above, an extra gap between the ball ball machines and the ball lending machine is provided. The total length of the island where the ball game machine is installed can be shortened as much as possible, and it can fully meet the demand for pachinko halls that do not have room for floor space. Also, on each installed island, the gap between the ball lending machine attached to each pachinko machine and the other pachinko machines adjacent to it is set to the same size, so the appearance is unified. It has the effect of taking off and looking good.

  At this time, a planar U-shaped vertical groove in which the lifting rod is intervened from the horizontal direction is recessed in one side surface of the installation island main body in the short direction in the supply tank, and the installation island in the vertical groove The inner width dimension along the longitudinal direction of the main body is not less than the value obtained by adding the width dimension along the longitudinal direction of the installation island body in the lifting rod and the width dimension along the longitudinal direction of the installation island body in the ball lending machine. Set to the dimensions of As a result, the replenishment tanks in each installed island main body are all attached at the same position. For example, in the pachinko hall, the bullet ball game machine installed island disposed along the wall and the adjacent ball game Between islands where aircraft are installed, inter-island supply rods that are passed between these supply tanks to replenish bullets between the islands where the ball game machines are installed are located in the longitudinal direction of the island where the ball game machines are installed. It is arrange | positioned along the orthogonal line | wire with respect to it, and the attachment position of a replenishment tank shifts | deviates, and it does not arrange | position diagonally. Therefore, since the inter-island supply rods can be arranged in a straight line as seen in plan view along with the other inter-island supply rods, the appearance of the inter-island supply rod is good.

  BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out a bullet ball gaming machine installation island according to the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 is a plan view of two sets of bullet ball gaming machine installation islands according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the bullet ball gaming machine installation island, and FIG. 3 is a front sectional view of the bullet ball gaming machine installation island. Examples of the ball game machine include a pachinko game machine, a sparrow ball game machine, and an arrange ball game machine. In the present invention, a pachinko game machine will be described as an example. Therefore, a pachinko gaming machine installation island (hereinafter simply referred to as “installation island”) will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 1, four installation islands 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d are installed in the pachinko hall H in parallel and at equal intervals. Among these, since each installation island 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d consists of the same structure, only one installation island 1a is demonstrated for convenience. On the installation island 1a, pachinko gaming machines 3 which are ball game machines are arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction on both side surfaces of the installation island main body 2a. In the installation island 1f in contact with the wall W of the pachinko hall H to be described later, the pachinko gaming machines 3 are arranged only on one side. Each pachinko gaming machine 3 has a ball lending machine 4 (referred to as a so-called “Taima Sand”) that lends a pachinko ball that is a bullet ball as a game medium for each player to play. It is attached to. Each ball lending machine 4 is formed in a vertically long box shape, and is arranged orthogonal to the pachinko gaming machine 3 so that the pachinko gaming machine 3 is always in contact with the left side when viewed from the front.

  In the installation island 1a, the installation positions of the pachinko gaming machines 3 along the longitudinal direction on both side surfaces thereof are all the same, and the pachinko gaming machines 3 are all arranged at equal intervals. The ball lending machine 4 attached to 3 and the other pachinko gaming machines 3 adjacent to the ball lending machine 4 are arranged with a certain gap S therebetween. Therefore, the shorter the dimension of the gap S, the shorter the overall length of the installation island 1a in the longitudinal direction. Further, if the gaps S are all the same size in the installation island 1a, the installation island 1a can be unified in appearance and appearance can be improved.

  A replenishment tank 5 for distributing pachinko balls to each pachinko gaming machine 3 is arranged at the upper center of the longitudinal direction in the installation island main body 2a, and pachinko balls to each pachinko gaming machine 3 are arranged at the lower part of the central portion. A replenishing device 6 for circulating replenishment is provided. Therefore, the replenishing tank 5 and the replenishing device 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. The replenishing device 6 includes a ball polishing device 7 that polishes pachinko balls that are arranged and circulated under the installed island main body 2a, a foreign matter removal device 8 that removes foreign matters such as polishing debris, and lifts the polished pachinko balls. It is generally composed of a lifting device 10 that lifts to the replenishment tank 5 disposed in the upper part of the installation island main body 2a via the ridge 9.

  Removable ball cages 11, 11 that are gently inclined downward are arranged from the central supply tank 5 to both ends along the longitudinal direction of the installation island main body 2 a, and each pachinko gaming machine is arranged via each supply bulb 11. 3 can supply pachinko balls. Further, below the pachinko gaming machines 3 arranged in a row, there are collecting ball cages 12 and 12 for collecting the pachinko balls discharged from the respective pachinko gaming machines 3 by tilting downward toward the central ball polishing device 7. It is arranged. Further, between the supply tanks 5 and 5 of the adjacent installed island bodies 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d, an inter-island supply basket 13 is provided so that pachinko balls can be supplied to each installed island 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d. Has been handed over.

  Since each of the replenishment tanks 5 and the lifting rod 9 has the same configuration in any of the installed islands 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, the first installed island 1a will be described. The replenishment tank 5 is formed in a long rectangular parallelepiped shape along the longitudinal direction of the installation island main body 2a. As shown in FIG. 6A, the vertical grooves 14 are formed in which the upper and lower end faces are open and the cross section perpendicular to the central axis forms a U-shape. The upper part of the vertical groove 14 is cut out by a predetermined dimension, and a horizontal step portion 15 is provided. In the longitudinal groove 14, the lifting rod 9 is arranged to intervene. Therefore, the holding plate 16 is placed and fixed on the upper surface of the horizontal step portion 15. The holding plate 16 is formed of a substantially rectangular flat plate that is slightly larger than the horizontal step portion 15, and an elongated support groove 17 into which the lifting rod 9 is inserted is recessed. Therefore, when the holding plate 16 is placed on the upper surface of the horizontal step portion 15, the upper end opening of the lifting rod 9 is positioned above the holding plate 16. Reference numeral 18 denotes a cover that closes the vertical groove 14 in a state where the lifting rod 9 is disposed in the vertical groove 14. The longitudinal inner width dimension L4 of the installed island body 2a in the longitudinal groove 14 is a width dimension L1, L2 along the longitudinal direction of the installed island body 2a between the lifting rod 9 and the ball lending machine 4, as will be described later. The dimension is set to a value greater than or equal to. In this embodiment, the longitudinal inner width dimension L4 of the installed island body 2a in the longitudinal groove 14 is along the longitudinal direction of the installed island body 2a between the lifting rod 9 and the ball lending machine 4. It is set slightly wider than the value obtained by adding the width dimensions L1 and L2.

  The lifting rod 9 has a plurality of single ball passages arranged side by side along the same plane so that the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the direction in which the pachinko balls flow is wide enough to allow one pachinko ball to pass through. The outer appearance is formed in a strip shape. And the ball lending machine 4 whose wide surface 9a is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the installation island body 2a and whose narrow surface 9b is attached to the pachinko gaming machine 3 in the longitudinal direction of the installation island body 2a, and this Is positioned in the longitudinal groove 14 so as to match the gap S between the other pachinko gaming machines 3 adjacent to the. Inside each installation island 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, the space between the pachinko gaming machines 3 facing each other back is narrow, and the lifting rod 9 and the lifting device 10 are arranged in a narrow place. Therefore, especially the lifting rod 9 is disposed in the gap S portion in the vicinity of the ball lending machine 4.

  Therefore, in the installation island 1a, the pachinko balls that are lifted in the lifting rod 9 by the lifting device 10 are discharged and stored in the replenishment tank 5 from the upper end opening. Then, the pachinko balls stored in the supply tank 5 flow out to the supply ball cage 11 and flow to both ends of the installed island main body 2a to be supplied to the respective pachinko gaming machines 3. On the other hand, the pachinko balls discharged from each pachinko gaming machine 3 fall into the recovery ball cage 12 below and are collected by the ball polishing device 7. The collected pachinko balls are polished by the ball polishing device 7 and sent to the lifting device 10 through the foreign matter removing device 8. The sent pachinko balls are stored again in the replenishment tank 5 through the lifting rod 9. In addition, when there is a request for replenishment of pachinko balls from the adjacent installation island 1b, the pachinko balls are replenished to the adjacent installation island 1b via the inter-island supply rod 13 connected to one side of the supply tank 5. become.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the pachinko gaming machines 3 have the same positional relationship with each other on the side surfaces facing each other in the pair of installed island bodies 2 a and 2 b, and balls attached to the pachinko gaming machines 3. The gap dimension L3 of the gap S between the rental machine 4 and another pachinko gaming machine 3 adjacent thereto is also set to the same dimension. Regardless of the installed island body 2a, 2b, the lifting rod 9 is disposed in the longitudinal groove 14, and the ball attached to the pachinko gaming machine 3 located in the center of the installed island body 2a in plan view. The lending machine 4 is positioned so as to be in contact with one side surface 4a orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the installation island main body 2a, and is arranged so as to match the gap S between other pachinko gaming machines 3 adjacent thereto. . Therefore, the width dimension L1 of the narrow surface 9b of the lifting rod 9, the width dimension L2 along the longitudinal direction of the installation island body 2a in the ball lending machine 4, and the pachinko gaming machine 3 adjacent to the ball lending machine 4 The gap dimension L3 of the gap S between the two is the same. Therefore, in both installation islands 1a and 1b, there is no extra space between the ball lending machine 4 attached to each pachinko gaming machine 3 and the other pachinko gaming machines 3 adjacent thereto. Moreover, since the gap dimensions L3 of the gaps S between the ball lending machine 4 attached to the pachinko gaming machine 3 and the other pachinko gaming machines 3 adjacent thereto are all the same size, the installation islands 1a, 1b Not only can the overall length be shortened as much as possible, but the installation islands 1a and 1b have a uniform appearance and a good appearance. The same applies to the other installation islands 1b and 1c and the installation islands 1c and 1d.

  FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged plan view of a set of bullet ball game machine installation islands according to another embodiment, and differs from the set of installation islands shown in FIG. 4 in the following points. That is, one set island 1f of the set set islands 1e and 1f is arranged in contact with the wall surface W of the pachinko hall. In this case, in the installed island main body 2f in contact with the wall W, the vertical side with the opening facing the other side surface 5b in the short direction of the replenishment tank 5, that is, the surface facing the replenishment tank 5 of the adjacent installed island main body 2e. A groove 14 is formed. These vertical grooves 14 and 14 are intermediate positions along the longitudinal direction of the installation island main bodies 2e and 2f, and coincide with each other. As described above, the opening of the longitudinal groove 14 in the one installed island body 2f is provided on the side opposite to the wall W so that the replenishing device 6 can be pulled out from the installed island body 2f for maintenance. Because.

  By the way, because the ball lending machine 4 is attached to the left side of the pachinko gaming machine 3, one side of the installation island 1f and the other side of the installation island 1e are opposed to one side of the installation island 1f. On one side surface and the other side surface of the other installation island 1e, the mounting positions of the ball rental machines 4 along the longitudinal direction of the installation islands 1e and 1f are shifted by the width dimension L2 of the ball rental machine 4, respectively. However, the vertical groove 14 in the replenishment tank 5 has an inner width dimension L4 along the longitudinal direction of the installation island bodies 2e and 2f, and a width dimension L1 of the narrow surface 9b of the lifting rod 9, and an installation island body in the ball lending machine 4. 1e, the width dimension L2 along the longitudinal direction is set to a value equal to or greater than the value obtained by adding the width dimension L2 to the supply tanks 5 and 5 of both installation island bodies 2e and 2f. 14, the lifting rods 9 can be provided in different positions in the longitudinal direction of the installed island bodies 2e and 2f, and the mounting position of the replenishment tank 5 with respect to the installed island bodies 2e and 2f does not change. At this time, the ball lending machine 4 is located in the vacant space. Therefore, even between adjacent installation islands 1e and 1f, the inter-island supply rod 13 installed between the supply tanks 5 and 5 does not tilt with respect to the longitudinal direction of the installation island main bodies 2e and 2f. For example, if the positions of the replenishment tanks 5 are shifted between the adjacent installed island main bodies 2e and 2f, the inter-island replenishment rods 13 are not oblique to the longitudinal direction of the installed island main bodies 2e and 2f when viewed in plan. Will be inclined to. This impairs the appearance and aesthetics.

  Similarly to the setting island 1f on the wall W side and the setting island 1e adjacent thereto, for example, in a set of adjacent setting islands 1a and 1b, the replenishing device 6 is pulled out from the setting islands 1a and 1b. In order to maintain the ball polishing device 7 and the lifting device 10, the replenishment device 6 may be taken out from the mutually facing side surfaces of the installation islands 1a and 1b because of its good workability. In this case as well, each lifting rod 9 connected to each replenishing tank 5 is arranged close to the mutually opposing surfaces 5a and 5b of both replenishing tanks 5 and 5, as described above. And on both side surfaces where both installation islands 1a and 1b face each other, the position of each ball lending machine 4 is opposite to that of the pachinko gaming machine 3, so each ball lending machine 4 on one installation island 1a side and the other installation The position of the ball lending machine 4 on the island 1b side along the longitudinal direction of the installation islands 1a and 1b is shifted by the thickness width dimension L2 of each ball lending machine 4. In other words, each ball lending machine 4 on the one installed island 1a side and each ball lending machine 4 on the other installed island 1b side facing this are deviated by the gap dimension L3 of the gap S. However, as described above, in the replenishment tanks 5 and 5 of the two installed island bodies 2a and 2b, the lifting rods 9 are respectively disposed in the longitudinal grooves 14 in the longitudinal direction of the installed island bodies 2a and 2b when viewed in plan. Therefore, the mounting position of the replenishment tank 5 with respect to the installation island main bodies 2a and 2b does not change. Accordingly, the inter-island supply rod 13 is disposed so as to be orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the installation island main bodies 2a and 2b.

  Thus, in the present invention, the lifting rod 9 is formed in a strip shape by arranging a plurality of bullet passages along the same plane in parallel, and the wide surface 9a is formed on the installation island main bodies 2a, 2b, 2c, The clearance dimension L3 of the clearance S between the ball lending machine 4 and the other pachinko gaming machine 3 adjacent to the ball lending machine 4 that is arranged orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of 2d and attached to each pachinko gaming machine 3 is a lifting rod. 9 coincides with the width dimension L1 along the longitudinal direction of the installed island bodies 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d and the width dimension L2 along the longitudinal direction of the installed island bodies 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d in the ball lending machine 4 To match. Thereby, the lifting rod 9 fits in the clearance S between the ball lending machine 4 and the other pachinko gaming machine 3 adjacent thereto, and no extra space is required. Therefore, if all the gaps S between the ball lending machines 4 and the other pachinko gaming machines 3 adjacent to the ball lending machines 4 are set to the same interval as described above, the space between the pachinko gaming machines 3 and the ball lending machines 4 is the same. The extra space is eliminated, the entire length of the installation islands 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d can be shortened as much as possible, and the request for a pachinko hall with no room for the floor area can be sufficiently met. Moreover, in each installation island 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, the gaps S between the ball lending machines 4 attached to each pachinko gaming machine 3 and the other pachinko gaming machines 3 adjacent thereto are all the same size. Because it is set to, the appearance is uniform and looks good.
