Description

本発明は、パチンコ玉やメダル等の遊技媒体を収納する収納箱とこの収納箱を運搬する台車とからなる運搬システム及び台車に関する。 The present invention relates to a transportation system and a carriage including a storage box that stores game media such as pachinko balls and medals, and a carriage that carries the storage box.

遊技店で遊ぶ遊技者は、出玉やメダルを玉箱という収納箱に入れて、その出玉等の入った収納箱を、遊技者の足元に積み重ねて置いている。収納箱を高く積み重ねた状態を店内外の顧客に見せることは、出玉の好調さを示すものとして遊技者に高揚感をもたらすとともに、遊技店にとって店内外の顧客に対する宣伝広告となる。一方、出玉を景品等と交換するときに、遊技者又は遊技店店員は、出玉の入った収納箱を台車に積載して、計数機のある場所まで収納箱を運搬する必要がある。 A player who plays in a game store puts balls and medals in a storage box called a ball box, and stacks the storage boxes containing the balls and the like on the player's feet. Showing customers with high storage boxes stacked inside and outside the store will give the player a sense of excitement as showing the good performance of the game, and will also be an advertising advertisement for customers inside and outside the store. On the other hand, when exchanging out balls for prizes or the like, a player or a store clerk needs to load a storage box containing the output balls on a carriage and transport the storage box to a place with a counter.

そこで、収納箱の底部に車輪を取り付けたものを台車とし、又は収納箱に類似した形状の台車として、これら台車の上に収納箱を積載することで、台車をあたかも収納箱であるかのように見せて、見かけの収納箱の積載数を増やし、店内外の顧客に対する宣伝広告の効果を高めることが、特許文献１に開示されている。 Therefore, a car with a wheel attached to the bottom of the storage box is used as a carriage, or a carriage similar in shape to the storage box. By loading a storage box on these trucks, the carriage appears as if it is a storage box. It is disclosed in Patent Document 1 to increase the number of apparent storage boxes and increase the effect of advertising to customers inside and outside the store.

また、出玉を収納した収納箱を台車に積載して、計数機のある場所まで台車により運搬する場合に、一度に積載できる収納箱の数量に制限があると、遊技者又は遊技店店員は、計数機のある場所まで何度も往復しなければならない。そこで、より多くの収納箱を積載するために、台車の長辺の向きに対して横向きにした収納箱を２列にして積載することが特許文献２に開示されている。 In addition, when the storage boxes containing the balls are loaded on the cart and transported to the place where the counter is located, if there is a limit to the number of storage boxes that can be loaded at one time, the player or the amusement store clerk , I have to go back and forth to the place where the counter is. Therefore, in order to load a larger number of storage boxes, Patent Document 2 discloses that the storage boxes that are placed sideways with respect to the direction of the long side of the carriage are stacked in two rows.

特許文献１は、台車の大きさを収納箱程度にまで小さくすると、収納箱を積載できる面積が、台車の大きさに比例して小さくなる。そうすると、収納箱を１列単位で台車に積み重ねなければならず、従来の大きな台車に、収納箱を２列にして積載した場合に比べて収納箱の積載数が減少する。結果として、遊技者又は遊技店店員が、計数機のある場所まで何度も往復し、収納箱の載せ換え作業をしなければならないという問題がある。 In Patent Document 1, when the size of the carriage is reduced to the storage box level, the area on which the storage box can be loaded becomes smaller in proportion to the size of the carriage. As a result, the storage boxes must be stacked on the cart in units of one row, and the number of storage boxes loaded is reduced compared to the case where the storage boxes are stacked in two rows on the conventional large cart. As a result, there is a problem that a player or a game shop clerk has to go back and forth many times to the place where the counter is located and replace the storage box.

特許文献２によれば、収納箱の底部を完全に台車に嵌め込む構造を有するため台車が大型化するので、台車を常時遊技者の足元に置いておくことができず、必要のたびに台車を準備しなければならない。このため、台車による見かけ上の積み重ね効果を望めないという問題がある。更に、台車に形成した凹部に収納箱を完全に嵌め込むことにより台車と収納箱を固定する構造のため、専用の収納箱と、専用の台車としなければならないという問題がある。 According to Patent Document 2, since the trolley has a structure in which the bottom portion of the storage box is completely fitted into the trolley, the trolley becomes large, so the trolley cannot always be placed at the player's feet. Must be prepared. For this reason, there is a problem that an apparent stacking effect by the carriage cannot be expected. Furthermore, since the carriage and the storage box are fixed by completely fitting the storage box into the recess formed in the carriage, there is a problem that a dedicated storage box and a dedicated carriage must be provided.

また、特許文献２においては、収納箱の積載数は、１列に積み重ねる場合に比べて２倍の収納箱を積載できる。しかしながら、特許文献２では、台車の長辺の向きに対して横向きにするときの収納箱の大きさは、小型のものしか積載できないので、収納箱の積載数が２倍になっても、運搬できる出玉の数量を実質的に多くすることはできない。 In Patent Document 2, the number of storage boxes can be doubled as compared to the case of stacking in one row. However, in Patent Document 2, since only a small storage box can be loaded in the horizontal direction with respect to the direction of the long side of the carriage, it can be transported even if the number of storage boxes is doubled. It is not possible to substantially increase the number of balls that can be played.

特許文献２の場合、嵌合凹部を有する専用の台車に嵌合凸部を有する専用の収納箱を嵌め込んで運搬することとしている。しかしながら、パチンコ玉がたくさん入った収納箱は、重く、人手で収納箱の凸部を台車の凹部に合わせ込んで嵌め込むことが困難である。 In the case of Patent Document 2, a dedicated storage box having a fitting convex portion is fitted into a dedicated carriage having a fitting concave portion and transported. However, a storage box containing a large number of pachinko balls is heavy, and it is difficult to manually fit the convex portion of the storage box into the concave portion of the carriage.

また、大量に出玉等があった場合に、収納箱から出玉等を露出したままにしておくと、遊技者が離席したときに、第三者による出玉の盗難を惹起するおそれがある。そのため、遊技者又は遊技店は、出玉等の盗難を防止する必要もある。 Also, if there are a large number of balls, etc., leaving the balls, etc. exposed from the storage box may cause a third party to steal the balls when the player leaves the seat. is there. Therefore, it is necessary for the player or the game store to prevent theft of a ball or the like.

そこで、本発明は、遊技者の足元に置ける程度に台車を小型化しつつ、より多くの収納箱を運搬可能とする、遊技媒体の収納箱の台車による運搬システム及び台車を提供することを目的とする。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a transport system using a cart for a storage box of game media and a cart that can transport more storage boxes while reducing the size of the cart to such an extent that it can be placed at a player's feet. To do.

また、本発明は、台車と収納箱を外観上類似させることで、台車上の収納箱の積載数を見かけ上増やし、台車を小型化して台車及び収納箱の積み重ね数を増やすことによる店内外の顧客に対する宣伝広告効果を高めることができる、運搬システム及び台車を提供することを目的とする。 In addition, the present invention makes the carriage and the storage box similar in appearance, apparently increases the number of storage boxes on the carriage, and reduces the size of the carriage to increase the number of stacks of the carriage and storage boxes. An object of the present invention is to provide a transportation system and a carriage that can enhance the effect of advertising to customers.

更に、本発明は、出玉等の盗難を防止できる、遊技媒体の収納箱の台車による運搬システム及び台車を提供することを目的とする。 Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a transport system using a cart of a storage box for game media and a cart that can prevent theft of a ball or the like.

上記課題を解決するため、遊技媒体を収納した収納箱を台車で運搬する運搬システムにおいて、合成樹脂の射出成型により収納箱を形成する。そして、収納箱は、底面部と底面部の周囲に形成される側面部とを有し、上面を開口した略直方体状の収納部と、側面部と連続して底面部より下側まで延設された環状の支持脚と、収納部の相対する短辺に、外側に張り出すように形成された第１の把持部とを備えている。 In order to solve the above problems, in a transport system for transporting a storage box containing game media by means of a carriage, the storage box is formed by injection molding of synthetic resin. The storage box has a bottom surface portion and a side surface portion formed around the bottom surface portion. The storage box has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped storage portion having an open top surface, and extends continuously from the bottom surface portion to the lower side. And an annular support leg, and a first grip portion formed so as to project outward on the short side opposite to the storage portion.

台車は、収納箱の縦横高さと略同じとなるように、収納箱と同じ合成樹脂で射出成型して形成される。台車は、表面が略平坦面とされ、収納箱の載置面とされた略四角板状の本体部と、本体部の載置部の裏面に設けられるキャスタと、本体部の側面と連続して下側に延設され、その先端がキャスタの車輪の回転中心より下側に位置するように形成された覆い壁部と、１つの収納箱が載置面と同じ向きに載置されたときに、１つの収納箱の支持脚に係合して、１つの載置面から脱落することを防止する第１の脱落防止突部と、本体部の相対する短辺に、外側に張り出すように形成された第２の把持部と、第２の把持部に形成され、載置面の長辺に対して、収納箱の支持脚の長辺が略直角になるように、収納箱の支持脚の長辺を突き合わせて、２つの収納箱を並べて載置面に載置したときに、並べられた２つの収納箱の、収納箱の支持脚の長辺のうち、突き合わされていない側の長辺にそれぞれ係合し、２つの収納箱が載置面から脱落することを防止する第２の脱落防止突部とを備えている。第１の脱落防止突部及び第２の脱落防止突部は、収納箱が載置面に載置されたときに、支持脚との間に間隙が形成される位置に形成される。 The carriage is formed by injection molding with the same synthetic resin as the storage box so as to be substantially the same as the height and width of the storage box. The carriage has a substantially flat plate-like main body part that is a surface on which the storage box is placed, a caster provided on the back surface of the body part, and a side surface of the body part. extending the lower Te, and cover wall portion formed so as to be positioned below the rotation center of the tip of the caster wheels, when one storage box is placed in the same direction as the mounting surface In addition, the first drop-out preventing protrusion that engages with the support leg of one storage box to prevent the drop-out from one placement surface and the short side opposite to the main body portion project outward. And a second holding part formed on the second holding part, and supporting the storage box so that the long side of the support leg of the storage box is substantially perpendicular to the long side of the mounting surface. against the long sides of the legs, when mounted on the mounting surface side by side two receiving box, the two storage boxes which are arranged, the long sides of the support legs of the storage box , And a second falling-off preventing protrusion for preventing the engagement respectively to the long side of the side not abutting, the two storage box from falling out mounting surface. The first drop-off prevention protrusion and the second drop-off prevention protrusion are formed at a position where a gap is formed between the storage box and the support leg when the storage box is placed on the placement surface.

本発明の運搬システムによれば、収納箱と台車の大きさ及び形状は、略同じであるから、台車に収納箱を積載した状態で、台車を遊技者の足元に置くことができる。収納箱を台車上に積載する場合に、収納箱に形成された支持脚と台車に形成された第１の脱落防止突部とが係合し、台車から収納箱が脱落することを防止することができる。また、台車の長辺に対して横向きに２つの収納箱を長辺を突き合わせて並べて載置することにより、収納箱と同程度の大きさの台車であるにも関わらず、縦向きに収納箱を置いたときに比べて２倍の数量の収納箱を積載することができる。この場合において、第２の脱落防止突部は、隣り合う収納箱の支持脚の長辺のうち、突き合わされていない側の長辺にそれぞれ係合することにより、２つの収納箱が載置面から脱落することを防止する。ここで、収納箱の支持脚と第１の脱落防止突部又は第２の脱落防止突部との間に間隙を設けることにより、収納箱の脱落を効果的に防止しつつ、容易に、重量物である収納箱を台車に載置することを可能にする。以上より、本発明は、遊技者の足元に置ける程度に台車を小型化しつつ、より多くの収納箱を運搬可能とする、遊技媒体の収納箱の台車による運搬システム及び台車を提供することができる。 According to the transport system of the present invention, the size and shape of the storage box and the cart are substantially the same, so that the cart can be placed on the player's feet with the storage box loaded on the cart. When the storage box is loaded on the carriage, the support leg formed on the storage box is engaged with the first drop-off preventing protrusion formed on the carriage to prevent the storage box from falling off the carriage. Can do. In addition, by placing two storage boxes side by side with the long sides facing each other with respect to the long side of the carriage, the storage box is placed vertically in spite of the fact that it is the same size as the storage box. Two times as many storage boxes can be loaded as compared to the case where the container is placed. In this case, the two dropout prevention protrusions are engaged with the long sides of the support legs of the adjacent storage boxes that are not in contact with each other, so that the two storage boxes are placed on the mounting surface. Prevents falling off. Here, by providing a gap between the support leg of the storage box and the first drop prevention protrusion or the second drop prevention protrusion, it is possible to easily prevent weight loss while effectively preventing the storage box from falling off. The storage box which is a thing can be mounted on a cart. As described above, the present invention can provide a transport system using a cart for a storage box of game media and a cart that can transport more storage boxes while reducing the size of the cart to such an extent that it can be placed on the player's feet. .

また、収納箱と台車の材質も同じなので、台車に収納箱を積み重ねて置いたときに、見かけ上、台車の分だけ収納箱を多く積み重ねているように見せることができ、店内外の顧客に対する宣伝広告効果を高めた、運搬システム及び台車を提供することができる。 In addition, since the material of the storage box and the cart is the same, when the storage boxes are stacked on the cart, it can be seen that the storage boxes are stacked as much as the cart. It is possible to provide a transportation system and a cart with enhanced advertising effectiveness.

更に、出玉を収納した収納箱上に台車を積載することで、本発明は、出玉の盗難を防止する運搬システム及び台車を提供することができる。 Furthermore, the present invention can provide a transport system and a cart that prevent theft of the ball by loading the cart on a storage box that stores the ball.

以下、本発明が適用されたパチンコ玉の運搬システムについて、図面を参照して説明する。 Hereinafter, a pachinko ball transport system to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings.

１．運搬システム１の構成
図１及び図２に示すように、本発明が適用された運搬システム１は、パチンコの出玉（以下、単に出玉ともいう。）を収納する収納箱１１を台車４１により運搬するシステムである。なお、パチンコの出玉以外のもの、例えばスロットマシンのメダル等も収納箱１１に収納して本発明の運搬システムにより運搬することができる。 1. Configuration of the Transport System 1 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the transport system 1 to which the present invention is applied includes a storage box 11 for storing pachinko balls (hereinafter also simply referred to as “balls”) by a carriage 41. It is a transport system. It should be noted that things other than pachinko balls, such as medals for slot machines, can be stored in the storage box 11 and transported by the transport system of the present invention.

この運搬システム１では、図１に示すように、収納箱１１と台車４１は、略同じ大きさ及び略同じ形状に形成されている。これにより、台車４１に収納箱１１を積み上げると、あたかも出玉が入った収納箱上に、更に収納箱１１を積み上げているように見せることができる。 In the transport system 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the storage box 11 and the carriage 41 are formed in substantially the same size and substantially the same shape. Thereby, when the storage boxes 11 are stacked on the cart 41, it can be seen as if the storage boxes 11 are further stacked on the storage box containing the balls.

また、運搬システム１では、図１のように、台車４１に対して、収納箱１１を同じ向きにして積み上げることができるほかに、図２のように、台車４１の長手方向に対して収納箱１１を横向きにして２列並べることができる。そして、並べた収納箱１１それぞれに更に収納箱（図示せず）を積み上げることにより、一度に多くの収納箱１１を台車４１で運搬できる。 Further, in the transport system 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the storage box 11 can be stacked in the same direction with respect to the cart 41, and the storage box is stored in the longitudinal direction of the cart 41 as shown in FIG. 2. Two rows can be arranged with 11 facing sideways. Further, by stacking storage boxes (not shown) in each of the storage boxes 11 arranged, a large number of storage boxes 11 can be transported by the carriage 41 at a time.

２．収納箱１１
図１乃至図６に示すように、運搬システム１に用いられる収納箱１１は、出玉を収納する収納部１２と、収納部１２を支持する支持脚１６と、収納部１２の短辺の両側に張り出して形成される第１の把持部２１を備える。 2. Storage box 11
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a storage box 11 used in the transport system 1 includes a storage unit 12 that stores a protruding ball, support legs 16 that support the storage unit 12, and both sides of the short side of the storage unit 12. The first grip portion 21 is formed so as to protrude from the top.

また、図６に示すように、収納箱１１には、中板３１を取り付けたり、取り外したりすることができ、収納箱１つ当たりの出玉の収納数量を調整することができる。中板３１を取り付けることにより、より少ない出玉で収納箱１１を一杯にすることができるので、より少ない出玉であっても、より多くの収納箱を積み上げることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the middle plate 31 can be attached to or removed from the storage box 11, and the storage quantity of the balls per storage box can be adjusted. By attaching the middle plate 31, the storage box 11 can be filled with fewer balls, so that more storage boxes can be stacked even with fewer balls.

（１）収納部１２
図３乃至図５に示すように、収納部１２は、底面部１３と、底面部１３の周囲に形成される側面部１４とを有し、上面に開口部１５を設けた略直方体状の容器となっている。また、収納部１２は、開口部１５の開口端が外側に張り出し、その先端がＬ字状の壁面を備える段部１８を有する。 (1) Storage unit 12
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the storage portion 12 includes a bottom surface portion 13 and a side surface portion 14 formed around the bottom surface portion 13, and a substantially rectangular parallelepiped container provided with an opening 15 on the top surface. It has become. Moreover, the accommodating part 12 has the step part 18 which the opening end of the opening part 15 protrudes outside, and the front-end | tip is provided with the L-shaped wall surface.

底面部１３には、出玉の１つの一部を外部に臨ませる第１の静電気放電用孔１９が収納部１２の長手方向に離間して形成されている。 The bottom surface portion 13 is formed with first electrostatic discharge holes 19 that allow one part of the balls to face the outside, spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the storage portion 12.

この静電気放電用孔１９は、底面部１３に出玉の１つの一部を臨ませる大きさの孔部１９ａを有するとともに、上側に向かって次第に拡径する周壁１９ｂが形成されている。 The electrostatic discharge hole 19 has a hole portion 19a of a size that allows one part of the protruding ball to face the bottom surface portion 13, and a peripheral wall 19b that gradually increases in diameter toward the upper side.

この静電気放電用孔１９は、周壁１９ｂで囲まれる空間には複数の出玉が進入することになるが、孔部１９ａより、外部に嵌合する出玉は１つである。静電気放電用孔１９では、周壁１９ｂが上側に向かって拡径するように形成されていることで、容易に出玉を指で取りだすことができる。 In this electrostatic discharge hole 19, a plurality of protruding balls enter the space surrounded by the peripheral wall 19 b, but only one protruding ball is fitted outside from the hole 19 a. In the electrostatic discharge hole 19, the peripheral wall 19b is formed so as to increase in diameter toward the upper side, so that the protruding ball can be easily taken out with a finger.

また、孔部１９ａより、外部に臨む出玉は、床等に接触することで、静電気を床等に放電することができる。例えば、静電気放電用孔１９の孔径は、出玉が孔から外部に落ちない程度であって、かつ出玉の先端が床等に接触する程度に設定され、パチンコ玉の径は、一般に、１１ｍｍ程度なので、静電気放電用孔１９の孔径は、７ｍｍ程度の円形としている。なお、静電気放電用孔１９の数や位置は、この例に限られるものではない。 Further, the protruding balls facing the outside through the hole 19a can discharge the static electricity to the floor or the like by contacting the floor or the like. For example, the hole diameter of the electrostatic discharge hole 19 is set such that the protruding ball does not fall out of the hole and the tip of the protruding ball comes into contact with the floor or the like, and the diameter of the pachinko ball is generally 11 mm. Therefore, the hole diameter of the electrostatic discharge hole 19 is a circle of about 7 mm. The number and positions of the electrostatic discharge holes 19 are not limited to this example.

図３乃至図５に示すように、収納箱１１の側面部１４は、複数の空の収納箱を重ねて収納するために、底面部１３から上方に向かって若干拡がるテーパ状をなしている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the side surface portion 14 of the storage box 11 has a tapered shape that slightly expands upward from the bottom surface portion 13 in order to store a plurality of empty storage boxes.

段部１８は、側面部１４の上端周囲に沿って、外側に張り出し、Ｌ字状に壁面をなしている。段部１８は、収納箱１１の上に更に別の収納箱又は台車を積み上げるときに、収納箱１１の支持脚１６又は台車４１の覆い壁部４４の先端部を係合して固定するために用いられる。その他、段部１８は、収納した出玉（図示せず）を段部１８に滞留させることで、出玉がはじき出されるのを防止することができる。 The step portion 18 projects outward along the periphery of the upper end of the side surface portion 14 and forms a wall surface in an L shape. The step portion 18 engages and fixes the support leg 16 of the storage box 11 or the tip of the cover wall portion 44 of the cart 41 when another storage box or cart is stacked on the storage box 11. Used. In addition, the stepped portion 18 can prevent the popped out ball from popping out by retaining the stored popped ball (not shown) in the stepped portion 18.

（２）支持脚１６
支持脚１６は、側面部１４に連続して底面部１３より下側に環状に延設して形成される。支持脚１６は、台車４１の載置面４８に形成された、第１の脱落防止突部４５又は第２の脱落防止突部４７と係合して、台車４１上から収納箱１１が脱落することを防止する。また、出玉の収納された収納箱１１の上に、収納箱を置いたときには、支持脚１６と底面部１３の裏面とで囲まれる空間に、下の収納箱１１の出玉が収容される状態となるので、これらの出玉がはじき出されるのを防止することができる。 (2) Support leg 16
The support leg 16 is formed so as to extend annularly downward from the bottom surface portion 13 continuously to the side surface portion 14. The support leg 16 engages with the first drop-off prevention protrusion 45 or the second drop-off prevention protrusion 47 formed on the mounting surface 48 of the carriage 41, and the storage box 11 falls off from the carriage 41. To prevent that. Further, when the storage box is placed on the storage box 11 in which the output balls are stored, the output balls of the lower storage box 11 are stored in a space surrounded by the support legs 16 and the back surface of the bottom surface portion 13. Since it will be in a state, it can prevent these balls from popping out.

（３）第１の把持部２１
第１の把持部２１は、収納部１２を相対する短辺より外側に張り出すように一体成型されるものであり、短辺の中央部分に形成される握り部２３と、握り部２３の両側に形成される支持板２２と、握り部２３や支持板２２を補強する補強リブ２４とを有する。 (3) First grip 21
The first grip portion 21 is integrally molded so as to project the storage portion 12 to the outside from the opposing short side, and a grip portion 23 formed at the center portion of the short side and both sides of the grip portion 23 The support plate 22 is formed on the support plate 22 and the gripping portion 23 and the reinforcing rib 24 that reinforces the support plate 22.

握り部２３は、収納部１２の短辺より外側に張り出すように形成されており、収納部１２の短辺と平行に膨出部２６が形成され、例えば、手の指を引っ掛けることができるようになっている。この握り部２３の両側には、支持板２２が形成され荷重のかかる握り部２３を補強する。更に、握り部２３や支持板２２の裏面には、補強リブ２４が垂下するように設けられ、握り部２３全体を補強するようにしている。 The grip portion 23 is formed so as to protrude outward from the short side of the storage portion 12, and a bulging portion 26 is formed in parallel with the short side of the storage portion 12, and for example, a finger of a hand can be caught.
