The length dimension in the longitudinal direction is formed corresponding to the length dimension of the lower unit 60 so as to be the same dimension as the separation width of the left and right lower supports 71, 71.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, the door frame 63 is fitted between the left and right lower columns 71, 71, and the outer surfaces of the left and right bar members are brought into contact with the inner surfaces of the left and right lower columns 71, 71. The tapping screws 94 are screwed into the lower support 71 from the inside of the left and right bar members with the left and right ends of the lower surface of the patch plate 13 placed on the upper surfaces of the left and right support tubes 72, 72, respectively. 63 is fixed to the lower unit 60. In this state, the patch plate 13 is placed on the upper surfaces of the support pipe 72 and the left and right connecting pipes 70 and is supported by these to constitute the placement portion of the pachinko machine 2. That is, by fixing the door frame 63 to the lower unit 60, the repair plate 13 fixed to the upper part of the door frame 63 is fixed to the lower unit 60.

  Then, the fixing plate 13a is placed on the upper surface of the repair plate 13 fixed to the lower unit 60, and is fixed to the repair plate 13 via a screw (not shown). It is fixed to the unit 60, and the pachinko machine 2 can be installed and fixed on the fixing plate 13a. Accordingly, the support pipes 72 and 72 and the left and right connecting pipes 70 that support the fixed plate 13a from below via the patch plate 13 constitute an installation part for installing the gaming machine.

  The door frame 63 and the repair plate 13 may be attached to the lower unit 60 in a state of being assembled in advance as in the present embodiment, or after only the door frame 63 is attached to the lower unit 60, the repair plate 13 and The fixing plate 13a may be attached.

  Further, a sliding door 95 shown in FIG. 8B is attached to the outer surface of the door frame 63 attached to the lower unit 60, and the lower inside of the lower unit 60 is concealed.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the upper unit 61 connects the left support plate 100, the middle support plate 101, the right support plate 102, and the support plates 100 to 102, which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. A pair of front and rear upper connecting plates 103, side connecting plates 104, and lower connecting plates 105 extending in the longitudinal direction are formed.

  The left support plate 100, the middle support plate 101, and the right support plate 102 are respectively a pair of front and rear front plates 106 and a rear plate 107, and an upper connected portion that extends substantially horizontally from the lower portion of the front plate 106 toward the rear plate 107. The support plate connecting pipe 110 is mainly composed of the pipe 108 and the upper connecting pipe 109 extending substantially horizontally from the lower portion of the rear plate 107 toward the front plate 106. With the connected pipe 108 fitted, a tapping screw (not shown) is screwed into one of the adjustment holes 111 formed in the longitudinal direction on the side surface of the upper connecting pipe 109, The rear plate 107 is connected.

  Further, when connecting, by changing the fitting depth of the upper connected pipe 108 with respect to the upper connecting pipe 109, that is, the overlapping width, the width dimension of the upper unit 61 is changed to the width dimension of the lower unit 60 described above. Correspondingly, it can be changed easily.

  In addition, a pair of front and rear rod supports 113 and 113 for attaching an end portion of a horizontally long bar-like bracket 112 that supports the lower surface of the supply rod 4 are fixed inside the front plate 106 and the rear plate 107. Longitudinal grooves 114 extending in the vertical direction are formed in the front and rear saddle struts 113, 113. Mounting bolts 115 attached to both ends of the bracket 112 are inserted into the long grooves 114 and nuts (not shown) are screwed from the back side. Thus, the bracket 112 can be attached at a predetermined height position.

  As described above, the front plate 106 and the rear plate 107 in the upper unit 61 are disposed so as to be separated from each other in the front-rear direction, and the supply rod 4 can be disposed between the both plates. Further, the lower end of the rod support columns 113 and 113 and the lower surface of the support plate connection pipe 110 are arranged at positions higher than the lower surface of the lower connection plate 105, so that the left support plate 100, the middle support plate 101, and the right support plate. A guide groove 116 that opens downward is formed at the lower end of each 102.

  In the guide groove 116, a pair of front and rear upper rails 65 as an upper unit installation member for installing the upper unit 61, which is placed between the upper ends of the front and rear central pillars 73 in the lower unit 60, 65 (see FIG. 3) is fitted.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (b), the upper rails 65, 65 are made of channel-shaped (substantially upward C-shaped cross-section) metal rails, and power cables and various communication cables are wired in the longitudinal direction inside. Can be done. Also, an upper unit base member 117 (see FIG. 3) formed in a downward U-shape is inserted into the upper rails 65, 65 from the end in the longitudinal direction, and is slidable in the longitudinal direction. A fixing hole 117a (see FIG. 3) into which a fixing bolt 118 for fixing the upper unit 61 is screwed is formed on the upper plate of the upper unit base member 117, and the fixing hole on the lower surface of the upper plate is formed. A fixing nut 118a into which a fixing bolt 118 is screwed is welded at a position corresponding to 117a.

  On the other hand, a lower plate (not shown) having a mounting hole (not shown) to which a fixing bolt 118 is attached is provided at the lower ends of the rod posts 113 and 113 of the left support plate 100, the middle support plate 101, and the right support plate 102, respectively. Is provided.

  When the upper unit 61 configured in this way is fixed at a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction of the upper rails 65, 65, first, each upper unit base member 117 disposed at a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction of each of the upper rails 65, 65 and The upper unit 61 is installed on the upper rails 65 and 65 so that the lower ends of the eaves pillars 113 and 113 in the respective support plates 100 to 102 coincide with each other. At this time, a pair of front and rear upper rails 65 and 65 are fitted into guide grooves 116 recessed at the lower ends of the respective support plates 100 to 102, whereby the upper unit 61 is moved in the front-rear direction with respect to the upper rails 65 and 65. Therefore, the positioning of the lower ends of the support plates 100 to 102 and the upper unit base members 117 is facilitated, and the upper unit 61 is prevented from dropping from the upper rails 65 and 65.

  The upper unit 61 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the upper rails 65 and 65 in a state where the fixing bolt 118 attached to the lower plate of the lower ends of the rod posts 113 and 113 is inserted into the fixing hole 117a and loosely screwed into the fixing nut 118a. To adjust the position. At this time, the upper unit 61 is slidably guided in the longitudinal direction of the upper rails 65, 65 by the upper unit base member 117 connected by the fixing bolt 118, so that the upper rail 65, Dropping from 65 is prevented.

  After the position adjustment, each fixing bolt 118 is tightened in a state where it is arranged at a predetermined installation position, so that the front and rear guide pieces on the upper part of the upper rail 65 become the lower plate of the lower end of the eaves support pillars 113, 113 and the upper unit base member 117. Thus, the movement of the upper unit base member 117, that is, the upper unit 61 in the longitudinal direction relative to the upper rails 65, 65 is restricted and fixed at a predetermined position.

  In addition, the lengths of the plurality of upper units 61 are all the same length, and this length is not changed in accordance with the change in the length of the lower unit 60, etc., and is uniform in each game store. It is the length dimension. This is because the upper unit 61 is configured separately from the lower unit 60, and the upper rails 65, 65 are horizontally mounted on top of the plurality of lower units 60 in the longitudinal direction. More specifically, the upper unit 61 is mainly used for disposing the supply rod 4 and is a part that does not affect the change in the installation interval of the pachinko machine 2. This is because there is no need to change the length dimension corresponding to the above.

  In this way, by configuring the lower unit 60 and the upper unit 61 separately, it is only necessary to manufacture a plurality of one type of upper unit 61 having the same length dimension, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Since the lower unit 60 that requires a change in the length dimension can be formed with the minimum number of components and can be miniaturized as much as possible, the portability of the lower unit 60 is also improved. The width dimension of the upper unit 61 is a width dimension corresponding to the width dimension of the lower unit 60 as described above.

  Next, a method for constructing the chassis of the gaming machine installation island 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 10A to 10C are schematic diagrams for explaining the installation process of the lower unit, and FIGS. 11A and 11B are schematic diagrams for explaining the installation process of the lower unit. 12 (a) and 12 (b) are schematic diagrams for explaining the installation process of the upper unit, and FIG. 13 (a) is a schematic diagram showing an example of a construction method for installing an odd number of pachinko machines. Yes, (b) is a schematic diagram showing another construction method when installing an odd number of pachinko machines. In the following description, each lower unit 60 is illustrated as 60A, 60B, 60C..., And each upper unit 61 is illustrated as 61A, 61B.

  First, in constructing the gaming machine installation island 1, the length dimension and the width dimension of the gaming machine installation island 1 are determined according to the installation space situation in the game store, and the pachinko machine to be installed according to the determined dimension 2 and the number of ball lending processing machines T, the arrangement interval of the pachinko machine 2, and the like are determined. Accordingly, the length dimension and width dimension of each lower unit 60 are determined and coupled by the above-described coupling method, and correspond to the width dimension of the lower unit 60 and the lower unit 60 having a predetermined length dimension and width dimension in advance. The upper unit 61 having the above-described width dimension is configured.

  Next, the front and rear lower rails 62 and 62 are laid at the installation position of the gaming machine installation island 1 on the floor surface F in the game store, and anchor bolts 120 are driven on the floor surface F while adjusting the horizontal level and the like. The lower rails 62 and 62 are fixed to the floor surface F (see FIG. 10A), and the number of base members 85 corresponding to the number of the lower units 60 to be installed are provided from the ends of the fixed lower rails 62 and 62. They are inserted and arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the lower rails 62 and 62 (see FIG. 10B).

  Then, a fixing plate 87 mounted on the lower end of each lower support 71 of the lower unit 60A arranged on one end side in the longitudinal direction is placed on the upper part of each base member 85, and the fixing bolt 86 is loosely screwed into the fixing hole 85a. In the inserted state, the lower unit 60A is slid in the longitudinal direction along the lower rails 62 and 62, and the lower support 71 on the end side of the lower unit 60A is positioned in accordance with the ends of the lower rails 62 and 62. Then, the fixing bolt 86 is tightened and fixed (see FIG. 10C).

  Next, the fixing plate 87 mounted on the lower end of each lower support 71 of the next lower unit 60B is placed on the upper portion of each base member 85, and the fixing bolt 86 is loosely screwed into the fixing hole 85a. The units 60B, 60C,... Are slid in the longitudinal direction along the lower rails 62, 62 and arranged at predetermined positions (see FIG. 10C).

  When the position of each lower unit 60 is adjusted in the longitudinal direction, it is slid and guided in the longitudinal direction of the lower rails 62 and 62 by the base member 85 connected by the fixing bolt 86. In addition to being prevented from falling off the lower rails 62, 62, positional displacement in the front-rear direction (width direction) is prevented, so that the position can be adjusted simply by sliding the lower unit 60 in the longitudinal direction. be able to.

  At this time, a predetermined interval is provided between adjacent lower units 60A, 60B / 60B, 60C..., That is, an interval L6 (L5 = L6) of the same length as the length L5 of the lower unit 60 in this embodiment. A plurality of lower units 60B, 60C,... Are installed and fixed in the same manner as the lower unit 60A (see FIG. 11A).

  Next, after installing and fixing the required number of lower units 60, the waist unit 64 is mounted between the left and right lower struts 71, 71 from the front and rear surface sides of each lower unit 60, and adjacent lower units 60A, 60A, The waist unit 64 constituting the inter-body game machine installation part is also mounted on the installation space part 130 formed between 60B / 60B, 60C... That is, the waist unit 64 mounted from the front and rear surface sides of the installation space 130 includes, for example, the lower column 71 and the support tube 72 of the right column 67 in one of the lower units 60A and 60B. The other lower unit 60B is mounted using the lower support 71 and the support tube 72 of the left support 66.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 8A, the door frame 63 includes a lower column 71 of the right column 67 in the lower unit 60 </ b> A and a left column in the lower unit 60 </ b> B disposed to face the lower column 71. 66, and the left and right end portions of the lower surface of the patch plate 13 are mounted on the upper surfaces of the support tube 72 of the right column 67 and the support tube 72 of the left column 66 of the lower unit 60B. In the placed state, the tapping screw 94 is screwed into the lower support 71 from the inside of the left and right bar members of the door frame 63 to fix the waist unit 64 to the installation space 130.

  That is, the installation space portion 130 formed between the left and right lower units 60A and 60B is a part of the housing of each of the left and right lower units 60A and 60B (the right column 67 in the lower unit 60A and the left column 66 in the lower unit 60B. ) Is used to form a frame structure in which the columns 66 and 67 are arranged on the left and right as in the lower unit 60. Therefore, the lower part 60 is disposed in the installation space 130 as in the case where the lower unit 60 is disposed. The unit 64 can be mounted.

  Further, the fixing plate 13a is placed in the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of each waist unit 64 mounted in each lower unit 60 and each installation space 130, and an installation unit for installing the pachinko machine 2 is configured. To do.

  Next, the upper rails 65, 65 are horizontally mounted in the longitudinal direction between the upper ends of the front and rear central columns 73 in each of the lower units 60A, 60B, 60C,. The upper unit base members 117 corresponding to the number of the upper units 61 installed from the end in the longitudinal direction are inserted in advance and arranged at predetermined positions in the longitudinal direction of the upper rails 65 and 65, respectively. (See FIG. 12A).

  The upper rails 65, 65 are disposed between the lower units 60, 60 adjacent to each other with the installation space 130 interposed therebetween, and the lower ends 60, 60 are connected to each other by connecting the upper ends of the central columns 73. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the strength of the casing due to the provision of the installation space 130.

  Then, the upper unit 61A is installed on the upper rails 65, 65 that are horizontally mounted in the longitudinal direction, and the lower ends of the upper columns 113, 113 of the upper unit base member 117 and the support plates 100-102 of the upper unit 61. And the fixing bolt 118 attached to the lower plate of the lower ends of the rod posts 113, 113 is inserted into the fixing hole 117a, and loosely screwed into the fixing nut 118a. In this state, the upper unit 61A is slid in the longitudinal direction of the upper rails 65 and 65 to adjust the position. At this time, since the upper unit 61A is slidably guided in the longitudinal direction of the upper rails 65 and 65 by the upper unit base member 117 connected by the fixing bolt 118, the upper unit 61A is moved from the upper rails 65 and 65 at the time of position adjustment. In addition to preventing the detachment of the upper unit 61A, positional displacement in the front-rear direction (width direction) is prevented, so that the position can be easily adjusted by simply sliding the upper unit 61A in the longitudinal direction.

  Next, with the upper unit 61A positioned at the end positions of the upper rails 65, 65, the fixing bolt 118 is tightened to fix the upper unit 61A to the end positions of the upper rails 65, 65. (See FIG. 12B).

  Thereafter, the upper units 61B, 61C,... Are appropriately installed on the upper rails 65, 65, and are moved along the upper rails 65, 65 to move the upper units 61B, 61C,. Pack and place them continuously and fix each one.

  If the length dimension in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine installation island 1 is not an integral multiple of the length dimension of the upper unit 61, one upper unit 61 arranged at the center or the end in the longitudinal direction. The length is adjusted by cutting. The adjustment work of the length dimension of the upper unit 61 may be performed at a construction site or may be performed in advance at a factory or the like.

  After constructing the chassis of the gaming machine installation island 1 in this way, the pachinko machine 2 and the ball rental are between the fixed plate 13a disposed on the upper part of each waist unit 64 and the lower connecting plate 105 of each upper unit 61. The processing machine T is installed and fixed, and the supply rod 4 is disposed in an inclined manner in the upper unit 61, and in the lower unit 60 and the upper unit 61, the various devices described in FIG. By arranging various incidental facilities, the gaming machine installation island 1 is configured.

  When the number of pachinko machines 2 installed on the gaming machine installation island 1 is an odd number, as shown in FIG. 13A, for example, one of the plurality of lower units 60 (here, the end in the longitudinal direction) The length dimension of the lower unit 60C) arranged in the section is set to a length dimension L5 ′ that is about half of the length dimension L5 of the other lower units 60A, 60B, and only one pachinko machine 2 and ball lending processor T If it can be installed, it can respond.

  Although not shown in particular, the position of the lower unit 60C having the length L5 ′ which is about half the length L5 of each of the lower units 60A and 60B is the end of the gaming machine installation island 1 in the longitudinal direction. It may not be a part, and may be arranged inside the lower unit 60 arranged at both ends in the longitudinal direction.

  In addition, although not particularly illustrated, any one installation space 130 formed between the lower units 60 and 60 disposed at both ends in the longitudinal direction has a length dimension L5 of each of the lower units 60A and 60B. If the space for installation 130 having a length of about half is formed, the length L5 ′ of any one of the lower units 60C is about half of the length L5 of the other lower units 60A and 60B as described above. Without arranging the lower unit 60A, 60B, 60C, all having the same length L5, it is possible to configure a gaming machine installation island on which an odd number of pachinko machines 2 can be installed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, for example, an interval L6 ′ that is approximately half the interval L6 of the same dimension as the other lower unit 60A is provided between the lower unit 60B arranged on the right side and the end portion. Only the support column 140 is erected, and only one pachinko machine 2 and the ball lending processor T can be installed in the installation space 130 ′ formed between the lower unit 60 </ b> B and the end support column 140. Can also respond.

  The waist unit 64 fixed to the installation space portion 130 'is processed into a length corresponding to the length of the pachinko machine 2 and the ball lending processor T for one unit at the construction site or factory. Is used.

  As described above, in the gaming machine installation island 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, the left strut 66 and the right strut 67 of the adjacent left and right lower units 60 are also installed in the installation space portion 130 without the lower unit 60. Since the waist unit 64 can be mounted by using this, the pachinko machine 2 can be installed, and therefore the number of the lower units 60 to be arranged can be reduced as much as possible with respect to the number of the pachinko machines 2 to be installed. Can be reduced.

  Further, each lower unit 60 is connected by adjusting the fitting depth of the connecting pipe 68 and the connected pipe 69, that is, the overlapping width, so that the separation width L5 between the left strut 66 and the right strut 67, that is, The length of the lower unit 60 in the longitudinal direction can be set to a length corresponding to the installation conditions of the pachinko machine 2 in the amusement store, and only a plurality of the lower units 60 configured in this way can be installed without any trouble. In addition, since an inexperienced worker can easily construct a housing without requiring skilled work, the work load at the construction site is effectively reduced.

  Further, by adjusting and fitting the fitting depth of the frame connecting pipe 76 and the frame connected pipe 77, that is, the overlapping width, the separation width L4 between the front frame 74 and the rear frame 75, that is, the lower unit 60 The length in the width direction can be easily changed to a length corresponding to the installation conditions in the amusement store.

  In addition, since the lower rails 62 and 62 are laid on the floor surface F, and the lower unit 60 can be slidably laid on the lower rails 62 and 62 in the longitudinal direction, the length of each lower unit 60 is increased. The installation position adjustment operation in the direction can be easily performed by sliding the lower support 71 along the lower rails 62 and 62.

  In addition, an upper rail 61 serving as an upper unit installation member is installed on the upper part of each of the lower units 60 arranged side by side. The upper unit 61 for arranging the supply basket 4 for supplying pachinko balls to the pachinko machine 2 Since it is not necessary to change the length of the upper unit 61 according to the length of the lower unit 60, the manufacturing cost is reduced. Furthermore, since the upper unit installation member is a rail member, the installation position adjustment work in the longitudinal direction of the upper unit 61 installed on the upper part of the lower unit 60 is slid along the upper rails 65, 65. Since it can be easily performed by moving, the workload is reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the upper unit 61 is configured to be slidably mounted on the upper rails 65, 65 laid horizontally between the upper portions of the plurality of lower units 60. As shown, each upper unit 61 may be fixedly installed on each lower unit 60A, 60B. In this case, for example, on the lower surface side of the upper unit 61, fitting portions 114a that can be fitted into the inside from the upper ends of the four central columns 73 project downward, and these fitting portions 114a are provided at the upper ends of the respective central columns 73. The upper unit 61 can be installed in a fixed manner by being fitted to the.

  The upper unit 61 shown in FIG. 14 has the same length as the sum of the length of the lower unit 60 and the length of the installation space 130. The length dimension may correspond to the length dimension of the lower unit 60. In this case, the upper unit 61 installed on the upper portion of the installation space 130 may be installed using the central column 73 of the right column 67 of the lower unit 60A and the central column 73 of the right column 67 of the lower unit 60B. Good.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the lower part of the gaming machine installation island 1 of the above-described embodiment, the downflow grooves 9L and 9R for receiving the pachinko balls discharged from the pachinko machine 2 and guiding them to the lifting and polishing apparatus 25 are installed. Instead of the baskets 9L and 9R, a storage tank configured to store the pachinko balls discharged from the pachinko machine 2 and to supply the stored balls to the lifting and polishing device 25 may be provided.

  Moreover, although the left support | pillar 66 and the right support | pillar 67 of the lower unit 60 in the said Example were comprised by the tubular member, you may be comprised by the board | plate material etc. which consist of a metal material or a synthetic resin material, for example.

  Specifically, for example, when a single gaming machine installation island is configured by one lower unit 60 and upper unit 61, the entire left strut 66 and right strut 67 may each be configured by a single plate.

  Further, for example, in the case of a game machine installation island in which the flow-down grooves 9L, 9R and a ball storage tank are disposed in the lower part of the gaming machine installation island 1, the flow-down grooves 9L, 9R, the ball storage tank, etc. The upper half of the lower unit 60 that does not interfere, that is, between the front and rear central columns 73, 73, may be formed of a single plate that does not have the front and rear connection pipes 78.

  In the above embodiment, the connecting pipe 68 and the connected pipe 69 are formed of tubular members. However, if the connecting pipe 68 and the connected pipe 69 are connected in a state of being overlapped with each other in the longitudinal direction, the connecting pipe 68 and the connected pipe 69 are formed of a plate-like member such as a strip-shaped metal piece. May be. The overlapping direction may be the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, and is not particularly limited.

  Further, the fixing of the connecting pipe 68 to the left strut 66 and the fixing of the connected pipe 69 to the right strut 67 are not limited to welding fixing, but may be bolt fixing or the like. Moreover, each member which comprises the lower unit 60 is not restricted to what was formed with the metal material, The thing formed with the synthetic resin material, the timber, etc. may be sufficient.

  The connecting pipe 68 and the connected pipe 69 are projected at a predetermined height position where the repair plate 13 on the left column 66 and the right column 67 can be placed. A plurality of protrusions may be provided from the height position, or a plurality of protrusions may be provided in the vertical direction.

  In the embodiment, the connecting pipe 68 and the connected pipe 69 are directly connected. For example, the connecting pipe 68 and the connected pipe 69 are connected to the connecting pipe 68 and the connected pipe 69. Both ends may be connected via a central connecting pipe (not shown) that can be fitted to both ends. In this case, for example, one end of the central connecting pipe is fixed to the connecting pipe 68 side, and the connecting portion is formed by both of them. The connected pipe 69 as a connected part is connected to the connecting part.

  In the embodiment, the lower unit 60 is erected on the floor surface F via the lower rails 62, 62, but may be erected directly on the floor surface F.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the lower unit 60 and the upper unit 61 were comprised by the different body, it is good also as a housing unit in which both were integrated.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the lower unit 60 was comprised so that the pachinko machine 2 could each be installed in the front-and-rear surface respectively, it was set as the structure which can be installed in only one of the front-and-back surfaces. Also good.

  In the above embodiment, the length L5 of each lower unit 60 to be installed and the distance L6 between the installation space portions 130 are the same (L5 = L6). For example, the distance L6 of the installation space 130 may be the same as that of one or three pachinko machines 2.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the length dimension L5 (or width dimension L4) of each lower unit 60 installed was made the same, it does not necessarily need to be the same and each length dimension (or width dimension) which differs individually. It is good.

  Further, the lower unit 60 cannot be adjusted in length, and may be carried into the amusement store in a state where all of the waist unit 64 and the upper unit 61 are assembled. The lower unit 60 in which the part is assembled is installed with a space between the adjacent lower units 60, and the waist unit 64 that is an inter-body game machine installation unit between the adjacent left and right lower units 60. By fixing the box, the box of the gaming machine installation island may be configured.
