Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine mounting apparatus used for mounting a pachinko gaming machine to a pachinko gaming machine mounting base unit.

  When a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter, simply referred to as “gaming machine” in the present specification) is used in a general store, it is attached to a pachinko gaming machine mounting base unit. A large number of pachinko gaming machines are attached in parallel to a pachinko gaming machine installation base unit (hereinafter referred to as an island for the sake of simplicity), which is generally called an island.

Conventionally, pachinko machines are attached to the island as follows.
The gaming machine is usually attached to an island by fixing the frame body to an island after fixing the frame body to a predetermined width that is formed by combining four plate members into a rectangular shape.
The conventional frame is mounted on the island by placing the frame on the island table and then the frame is usually made of wood, using nails or wood screws. ing.

  On the other hand, it is known that a pachinko gaming machine can adjust a ball by giving an appropriate inclination to the board surface. Utilizing the fact that the closer the board surface of the pachinko machine is to an angle, the more the ball gets entangled with the nail. By attaching an appropriate inclination when attaching a pachinko machine or making adjustments afterwards, it is possible to obtain the same effect as when nails are adjusted more easily.

  In consideration of such points, it is convenient if the inclination of the pachinko machine after being attached to the island can be changed after the fact. However, if the frame for mounting the pachinko gaming machine is fixed to the island using nails or wood screws, it is almost impossible to change the inclination of the pachinko gaming machine afterwards. In addition to the natural trouble of fixing the conventional frame body to the island using nails and wood screws, it takes time and labor to remove the frame once fixed to the island from the island. It also has such problems.

  The applicant of the present application has filed applications such as Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-194453 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-9850 in consideration of such points. These relate to an instrument for fixing a pachinko gaming machine to a pachinko gaming machine installation unit with a variable inclination angle.

The inventions disclosed in these documents have both a function of detachably attaching a pachinko gaming machine to an island and a function of changing an inclination angle of the pachinko gaming machine attached to the island afterwards.
Therefore, it can be said that the pachinko machine mounting apparatus disclosed therein is extremely useful.

However, these pachinko machines are not without their points to be improved.
Prior to explaining the point where such improvement is required, first, a conventional island structure will be described.
The island usually has an opening at the top along the length of the island. A plate for closing the opening is attached to the opening. This plate may be a single piece, but is often divided into a lamp plate to which a calling lamp is attached and a curtain plate located above the lamp plate. Behind the lamp plate and the curtain plate, there is a circuit for controlling the calling lamp, and a circuit for outputting data output from the gaming machine to a computer for managing the game balls generally outside the island. Alternatively, a circuit for controlling the lending machine is accommodated as necessary. In many cases, the curtains are openable and closable. Opening them causes the ball supply toy provided above the island to become clogged, or the wiring made above the island. It is possible to cope with the case where an abnormality occurs.

  The pachinko machine mounting apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Nos. 2005-194453 and 2008-9850 is conventionally mounted behind a lamp plate. And this pachinko machine mounting device adjusts the inclination angle of the pachinko machine by inserting the tip of a hexagon wrench into the hexagonal cross section provided in the head of the bolt on the front and rotating the bolt. In order to make this possible, the lamp plate is provided with a hole for inserting a hexagon wrench behind the lamp plate.

Such holes are a problem.
First, security issues arise. If a hole is made in the lamp plate, there is a risk that the player will have an opportunity to cheat on the game, such as inserting some device into the back of the gaming machine.
Moreover, the problem of giving anxiety to a player arises. There are various restrictions on games played using gaming machines, for example, from the viewpoint of player protection. However, if a player notices that a hole has been drilled in the lamp plate, I have a suspicion that I was working to give some kind of disadvantage.
Conventionally, the holes provided in the lamp plate were usually blindfolded with a small decorative plate, etc., but the decorative plate is detachable in order to enable insertion of a hexagon wrench through the hole, Still, it does not solve the security problem. In addition, a player who sees a decorative board that did not exist before, even if he does not see the hole directly, can foresee that there was some work even if he did not think that the hole was drilled. Because of the nature, there is no way to wipe out the possibility of anxious players.

  Therefore, the present invention has a function of detachably attaching the pachinko gaming machine to the pachinko gaming machine setting base unit and a function of changing the inclination angle of the pachinko gaming machine attached to the pachinko gaming machine setting base unit afterwards. Another object of the present invention is to improve the attachment device for a pachinko gaming machine so that it can be used without making a hole in the lamp plate.

The present inventor proposes the following invention in order to solve the above-described problems.
The invention of the present application includes a lamp plate to which a calling lamp is attached, and a pachinko gaming machine installation base unit that includes a curtain plate provided so as to be openable and closable above the lamp plate and to which a predetermined pachinko gaming machine is fixed. A pachinko gaming machine attachment device that is used by being attached and includes a fixing mechanism that detachably fixes the pachinko gaming machine to the pachinko gaming machine mounting base unit.
The pachinko gaming machine mounting device (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as the “mounting device”) includes a first member fixed behind the lamp plate and a part of the first member in the upper part of the pachinko gaming machine. By being fixedly attached to the first member so that the position in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine can be arbitrarily positioned, the relative position with respect to the first member can be arbitrarily positioned. A second member adapted to give an appropriate inclination angle to the gaming machine; a first operation unit operated to adjust a relative position of the second member with respect to the first member; A longitudinal movement mechanism for moving the second member forward and backward relative to the first member to arbitrarily position a relative position with respect to the one member, the longitudinal movement mechanism, and the first operation unit are connected. Also , And the and a, a first link mechanism for transmitting the was first operation section operation in the back-and-forth movement mechanism.
The first operating portion is positioned above the upper end of the lamp plate and located in a space behind the curtain plate when the curtain plate is opened, and when the curtain plate is opened. Can be operated from the outside.
Such a pachinko gaming machine attachment device has a function of detachably attaching the pachinko gaming machine to the island by a fixing mechanism, and an inclination of the pachinko gaming machine attached to the island by a combination of the first member and the second member. The function of changing the corners afterwards is secured.
In addition to this, in this attachment device, the first operating portion for driving the longitudinal movement mechanism for arbitrarily positioning the relative position with respect to the first member is provided on the rear side of the curtain plate via the first link mechanism. It is supposed to be located in space. By moving the first operation unit upward in this way, the operation of the first operation unit for driving the forward / backward movement mechanism is performed with a hand from the gap between the opened curtains in the state where the curtains are opened. Since it becomes possible to do so, it is not necessary to make a hole in the lamp plate.

The mechanism for realizing the back-and-forth movement of the second member relative to the first member (hereinafter, in the case of simply “front-rear”, the direction conforms to the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine) Any known mechanism may be employed.
For example, the second member can be arbitrarily positioned in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine by rotating and is threaded on its inner periphery fixed to the first member. A screw threaded bolt may be included on the outer periphery of the threaded nut.
In this case, the first link mechanism may be configured to rotate the bolt according to an operation of the first operation unit. In this case, the mechanism by which the first link mechanism converts the operation of the first operation unit into the rotational motion of the bolt is arbitrary.

When the second member includes a bolt, the first link mechanism is a rod-like body that connects the bolt and the first operation portion, and is within a certain angle in a plane perpendicular to the bolt with the bolt as a center. You may be able to perform a rotational motion with.
In the space behind the curtain, there is a circuit for controlling the calling lamp, and a circuit for outputting the data output from the gaming machine to a computer for managing the ball that is generally outside the island. Alternatively, there may be various devices such as a circuit for controlling the lending machine. In such a case, the first link mechanism that is a rod-shaped body may interfere with equipment in the space behind the curtain. If the first link mechanism is allowed to rotate as described above, the possibility of avoiding interference with equipment in the space behind the curtain increases, and the possibility of using the mounting device of the present invention increases.

The fixing mechanism in the present invention may be a mechanism that fixes the pachinko gaming machine to the pachinko gaming machine installation base unit.
For example, the fixing mechanism includes a pressing member that can press the pachinko gaming machine downward from above, and the pressing member is at least two of a first position and a second position that press the pachinko gaming machine. It may be possible to position at one position. In this case, the attachment device according to the present invention includes a second operation portion that is operated to position the pressing member in any one of the first position and the second position, the fixing mechanism, and the second operation. A second link mechanism that transmits an operation performed by the second operation unit to the pressing member of the fixing mechanism, and the second operation unit is configured to be connected to the lamp plate. It may be positioned in a space behind the curtain plate that is viewed when the curtain plate is opened above the upper end, and can be operated from the outside when the curtain plate is opened.
In this way, by positioning the second operation part in the space behind the curtain, not only the inclination angle of the gaming machine is adjusted, but also the fixing of the gaming machine to the pachinko gaming machine installation base unit and the release thereof are performed. Since it can be performed by opening the curtain plate, it is not necessary to make a hole in the lamp plate for fixing the game machine to the pachinko gaming machine installation base unit and releasing it.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment for carrying out the invention of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The pachinko gaming machine mounting apparatus according to this embodiment is for detachably mounting a pachinko gaming machine on an island as a pachinko gaming machine mounting base unit. The attachment device in this embodiment has a function of detachably attaching the gaming machine to the island and a function of changing the inclination angle of the gaming machine attached to the island afterwards.

The gaming machine attached to the island by the pachinko gaming machine attachment device according to this embodiment is attached to the island in a state of being attached to a frame as shown in the perspective view of FIG.
The frame body 200 of this embodiment is not necessarily limited to this, but is a wooden body. The frame body 200 is formed by combining four plate-like members having a predetermined width into a rectangle. In this embodiment, the widths of the upper, lower, left and right members forming the frame body 200 are equal. That is, in this embodiment, the length of the frame body 200 in the front-rear direction is the same in all parts of the frame body 200. Further, the thickness of the four plate-like members constituting the frame 200 is not necessarily limited to this, but the thickness of the lower member is larger than the thicknesses of the upper and left and right members.
A game machine (not shown) is fitted into the space inside the frame body 200 and fixed. Since the gaming machine is fixed to the frame body 200 conventionally, it can be performed using an appropriate well-known technique.

Next, the island to which the gaming machine fitted in the frame body 200 is attached will be described. However, this island is basically quite common.
FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the island 400. In FIG. 2, the left side is the front direction of the gaming machine.
Island 400 is made of wood. Although not shown, the island 400 includes a number of columns extending in the vertical direction. Adjacent ones of a large number of pillars are connected to each other by beams extending in the horizontal direction, a table, an upper plate, etc., which will be described later.
The island 400 includes a table (not shown). The table is formed of a plate material and is horizontally attached to a height of about 70 to 80 cm from the bottom. The table is for placing the above-described frame body 200 with the gaming machine fixed therein.
A horizontal plate 410 is provided above the island 400 but not at the top. The horizontal plate 410 is a plate material, and is horizontally provided between the above-described columns. The horizontal plate 410 has two holes in the vertical direction through which a movable member, which will be described later, passes.

A lamp plate 420 is attached above the horizontal plate 410 on the front side of the island 400. The lamp plate 420 is a plate material and is attached to the island 400 so that the width direction thereof is vertical. The lamp plate 420 is fixedly attached to the island 400.
A well-known call lamp 421 is attached to the front surface of the lamp plate 420. On the rear surface side of the lamp plate 420, there is a control circuit (not shown) for controlling the calling lamp 421, but this does not interfere with the mounting apparatus 100. The lamp plate 420 has a hole through which a cable for connecting the control circuit and the calling lamp 421 is passed, but this is also omitted in FIG.

A curtain plate 430 is attached further above the horizontal plate 410. The curtain plate 430 is a plate material, and is attached to the island 400 so that the width direction thereof is vertical. The upper end of the curtain plate 430 is attached to a top plate 450 constituting the island 400 via a hinge 440. The top plate 450 is a plate material, and is horizontally passed between the above-described columns. As shown by the arrow in FIG. 2, the curtain plate 430 can rotate about the hinge 440 and can be opened and closed with respect to the island 400.
In the space between the top plate 450 and the horizontal plate 410, the above-described mounting device and other devices are placed. The reason why the curtain plate 430 is openable and closable is that the operation and maintenance of the mounting device and other devices can be performed with the curtain plate 430 opened. In order to facilitate such operations and maintenance, although not necessarily limited to this, the position of the curtain plate 430 can be fixed in a substantially horizontal state with respect to the island 400 (that is, the curtain plate 430 is opened). It has become.

Next, the attachment device 100 will be described. The attachment device 100 is configured as shown in FIGS.
The attachment device 100 is attached to the upper surface of the horizontal plate 410. The attachment device 100 may be appropriately attached to the horizontal plate 410 using wood screws, bolts, or the like.

  3 is a perspective view showing a state of the attachment device 100 as seen from the front slightly from the right, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state of the attachment device 100 as seen from the rear slightly from the right, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a rear view of the mounting apparatus 100, FIG. 7 is a plan view of the mounting apparatus 100, and FIG. 8 is a right side view of the mounting apparatus 100. FIG.

  The attachment device 100 of this embodiment includes a base member 110. The base member 110 is plate-shaped. The base member 110 of this embodiment includes a substantially rectangular main base portion 111 that is slightly smaller than the upper surface of the horizontal plate 410 and a fixed arm portion 112 that extends rearward from both longitudinal ends of the main base portion 111. ing. The base member 110 has a fixing hole 111A. The base member 110 is fixed to the horizontal plate 410 by placing the base member 110 on the horizontal plate 410 and driving a bolt into the horizontal plate 410 in a state where the hole 111A is penetrated. At that time, the distal end of the fixed arm portion 112 may protrude toward the rear side of the horizontal plate 410. Although not shown, the main base portion 111 is provided with holes for allowing two movable members to be described later to pass therethrough. These holes have a predetermined length in the front-rear direction in order to allow the movable member to move back and forth as described later.

  In this embodiment, a fixed U-shaped bracket 112A having a U-shaped cross-section with a hole (not shown) is fixed to the fixed arm portion 112. Further, a nut 112B threaded on the inner peripheral surface of the hole is fixed to the fixed U-shaped bracket 112A in a state where the hole and the hole of the fixed U-shaped bracket 112A are aligned.

A storage member 120 is placed on the base member 110.
In this embodiment, the storage member 120 has a storage portion 121 formed in a cylindrical shape having a substantially rectangular cross section, and a substantially L-shaped movable member in a plan view extending rearward from the vicinity of both ends in the length direction of the storage portion 121. An arm portion 122 is provided. The storage part 121 and the movable arm part 122 are a series, and their positional relationship is fixed.
The lower end of the first metal fitting 122A having a crank shape when viewed in plan is connected to the outer edge of both the movable arm portions 122. A connecting portion 122B, which is a portion of the first metal fitting 122A from the center in the longitudinal direction of the base member 110, is fixed to the base member 110.
A portion that is perpendicular to the edge of the movable arm portion 122 of the first metal fitting 122A and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the base member 110 is provided with a hole (not shown) that passes through the portion. This hole is coaxial with the above-described hole provided in the fixed U-shaped metal fitting 112 </ b> A connected to the fixed arm portion 112. Bolts 123 are inserted through the holes provided in the first metal fitting 122A and the holes provided in the fixed U-shaped metal fitting 112A.
The bolt 123 includes a threaded portion 123A that is threaded on its outer peripheral surface, and a thick shaft portion 123B that has a diameter larger than that of the threaded portion 123A and that has gear-like irregularities cut on its outer periphery. I have. The threaded portion 123A of the bolt 123 is screwed with the nut 112B.
Since it has such a structure, when the bolt 123 is rotated, the bolt 123 (threaded portion 123A thereof) moves back and forth relative to the nut 112B, but the thick shaft portion 123B of the bolt 123A It is always in close contact with the front surface of the first metal fitting 122A. That is, in this embodiment, the distance between the fixed U-shaped metal fitting 112A and the first metal fitting 122A can be changed by rotating the bolt 123 in an arbitrary direction. Since the fixed U-shaped bracket 112A is fixed to the base member 110 and the first bracket 122A is fixed to the storage member 120, the distance between the fixed U-shaped bracket 112A and the first bracket 122A can be changed. That is, in this embodiment, the storage member 120 can be moved back and forth with respect to the base member 110, and the front-rear position of the storage member 120 relative to the base member 110 can be arbitrarily positioned.
In addition, although the contact member mentioned later is attached to the rearmost edge part of the movable arm part 122 via some components, it demonstrates later.

As described above, the storage unit 121 has a cylindrical shape with a rectangular cross section. The width (length in the front-rear direction) of the storage part 121 is made smaller than the width of the horizontal plate 410, and the length in the longitudinal direction is slightly shorter than the length in the longitudinal direction of the base member 110. .
The internal structure of the storage unit 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.
FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of the end of the storage member 120. As shown in FIG. 9, the storage member 120 is attached to the storage unit 121 so that it can move in the vertical direction. The moving body 124 is stored. The moving body 124 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and is fitted inside the storage portion 121 with its opening facing upward.
At both ends of the moving body 124, there are provided storage portions 126 formed by fitting and fixing fittings having a substantially U-shaped cross section from above the moving body 124. Although not shown, holes are formed in the upper surface and the lower surface of the storage portion 126. The two holes are circular, and in this embodiment, although not necessarily limited, they have the same diameter and are present at positions corresponding to a plan view.
The storage part 126 is penetrated by the movable member 127 in the vertical direction. The movable member 127 moves up and down by a method as will be described later. When the movable member 127 is lowered downward, the movable member 127 of the frame body 200 placed below the horizontal plate 410 by a later-described protruding piece at the lower end thereof. The upper surface is pressed.
The movable member 127 includes a bolt portion 127A that is threaded on the outer periphery thereof, and a disk-shaped locking portion 127C that is provided at the lower end of the bolt portion 127A. A sharp projecting piece 127D is provided on the lower surface of the locking portion 127C. The shape of the projecting piece 127D is a conical shape in this embodiment, but is not necessarily limited thereto, and any shape that can bite into the wood when pressed against the wood is sufficient. The protrusion piece 127D may be single or plural. Although the number of protruding sides 127D shown in FIG. 9 is one, the number of protruding sides 127D shown in FIGS. 3 to 8 is three.

The bolt part 127 </ b> A is screwed with a nut 127 </ b> E that is threaded on the inner peripheral surface housed inside the storage part 126. The nut 127E is fixed to the storage portion 126. A first spring 127F is provided around the bolt portion 127A. The length of the first spring 127F in the natural state is originally longer than the distance from the upper surface of the nut 127E to the upper surface inside the storage portion 126. However, since the lower end of the first spring 127F is in contact with the upper surface of the nut 127E and the upper end of the first spring 127F is in contact with the upper surface inside the storage portion 126, the movable member 127 including the bolt portion 127A screwed with the nut 127E is provided. The state is biased downward with a predetermined elastic force.
When the base member 110 is fixed to the horizontal plate 410, the bolt part 127 </ b> A of the movable member 127 is fixed to the base member 110 and the base member 110 positioned below the lower surface of the storage unit 126 and the lower surface of the storage unit 126. It will be in the state which penetrated the horizontal board 410 located under the member 110. FIG. Regardless of the thickness of the horizontal plate 410, and regardless of the distance from the lower surface of the horizontal plate 410 to the upper surface of the frame body 200 when the frame body 200 is placed below the horizontal plate 410. In order to allow the upper surface of the frame body 200 to be pressed by the piece 127D, the length of the movable member 127 exposed below the base member 110 can be changed. This can be achieved by rotating the movable member 127 to move the bolt portion 127A relative to the nut 127E in the vertical direction.
The hole provided in the lower surface of the storage portion 126 may be the same as the diameter of the bolt portion 127A, but the hole for allowing the base member 110 and the movable member 127 provided in the horizontal plate 410 to pass through is shown in FIG. It becomes a long hole in the front-rear direction (vertical direction in FIG. 11) as shown. As will be described later, the movable member 127 moves back and forth with the back-and-forth movement of the storage member 120. Therefore, the length L in the length direction of the two holes is a movable member that moves back and forth by the back-and-forth movement of the storage member 120. 127 and a length such that the base member 110 or the horizontal plate 410 does not interfere with each other. In particular, of the above-described two holes, the length l in the width direction of the hole provided in the horizontal plate 410 is set such that the locking portion 127 </ b> C can pass when the attachment device 100 is attached.
Inside the storage part 121 is also a second spring 128 (FIG. 10). The second spring 128 has an upper end connected to the upper surface inside the storage unit 121 and a lower end connected to the lower surface inside the moving body 124. Both ends of the second spring 128 are connected to the storage unit 121 and the moving body 124 in a state where the second spring 128 is considerably extended from a state where no force is applied. Thereby, the moving body 124 is always subjected to a force that is attracted to the upper surface inside the storage portion 121.

A cam 125 having a shape close to one of the ellipses divided into four along the major axis and the minor axis is provided inside the storage unit 121. The cam 125 is connected to a rotatable shaft 113 that penetrates the storage portion 121 in its width direction, and is configured to be able to rotate about 90 degrees about the shaft 113. It is fixed at two positions, a position (position shown in FIG. 10 (A)) and a position (position shown in FIG. 10 (B)) in which the major axis is substantially vertical. It has been made possible.
A second link mechanism 144 is connected to the rear end of the shaft 113. The shaft 113 rotates according to the operation of the second link mechanism 144. As the shaft 113 rotates, the cam 125 rotates, and the cam 125 is fixed at one of the two positions described above. The second link mechanism 144 will be described later.
As described above, an upward force is always applied to the moving body 124. Therefore, even if the moving body 124 moves in the vertical direction, the moving body 124 is strongly pressed against the tip of the cam 125 positioned in the upward direction. In this way, the state where the tip of the cam 125 is in contact with the upper surface of the lower member of the moving body 124 is always maintained.
The cam 125 is formed with a linear portion at a portion that intersects the major axis of the arc and a portion that intersects the minor axis of the arc. Therefore, when the cam 125 is rotated by the rotation of the shaft 113, the cam 125 is in the state shown in FIG. 10A and the portion that intersects the major axis of the arc when it is in the state shown in FIG. The linear portion formed at the portion intersecting with the minor axis comes into contact with the lower surface inside the moving body 124 and is in a stable state. As a result, the cam 125 and the moving body 124 are stably fixed when the state shown in FIG. 10A and the state shown in FIG.

As described above, the contact member is attached to the rearmost end portion of the movable arm portion 122 via some components. Although the contact member also appears in FIGS. 3 to 8, for easy understanding, referring to FIG. 12 schematically showing the vicinity of the contact member, the structure of the contact member and its vicinity is shown. explain.
As shown in FIG. 12, at the end of the movable arm 122 on the rear side (right direction in FIG. 12), a U-shaped suspension metal fitting 141 extending downward is provided by, for example, screwing. Mounted. The suspension fitting 141 has a hole 141A. On the rear side of the hole 141A, a nut 142 threaded on the inner peripheral surface is disposed. A support rod 143A having a circular cross section is disposed so as to penetrate the nut 142 and the hole 141A. The support rod 143 </ b> A is threaded on the outer peripheral surface thereof and is screwed with the nut 142. At the front end of the support bar 143A, a cylindrical contact member 143B having a diameter larger than that of the support bar 143A formed of hard rubber in this embodiment is coaxial with the support bar 143A. It is installed in this way.
The contact member 143B moves back and forth according to the back and forth movement of the support bar 143A that moves back and forth relative to the nut 142 by rotating. As shown in FIG. 12, the abutting member 143 </ b> B is configured to abut on the upper member of the frame body 200 from the rear side when the frame body 200 is arranged. The reason why the contact member 143B can be moved back and forth is to adjust the degree of pressing of the contact member 143B against the frame body 200.
In this embodiment, the position of the contact member 143B in the vertical direction can be adjusted by making the hole 141A a long hole that is long in the vertical direction. Such a device for adjusting the position of the contact member 143B may be appropriately taken.

As described above, the front-rear position of the storage member 120 with respect to the base member 110 can be arbitrarily positioned, and this is realized by the rotation of the bolt 123.
The attachment device 100 has the following structure for causing the bolt 123 to rotate.

A first operation extending in the up-down direction along the plate-like portion along the plate-like portion having a slightly larger area having a hole for penetrating the bolt 123 of the movable arm portion 122 of the first metal fitting 122A. A member 500 is provided.
In this embodiment, the first operating member 500 includes a first bar-shaped member 510 having a U-shaped cross section and a bar shape. The first rod-like member 510 is provided with a hole (not shown) for allowing the bolt 123 to pass therethrough, and the hole is passed through the bolt 123. Above the first rod-like member 510, an operation thick shaft portion 520 configured similarly to the thick shaft portion 123B of the bolt 123 is provided. The operation thick shaft portion 520 is rotatable. Before and after the operation thick shaft portion 520, a shaft portion 521 whose diameter is slightly smaller than that of the operation thick shaft portion 520 is provided. The front one is pivotally supported by a crank fitting 523 which is formed in a crank shape in a side view and fixed to the first rod-like member 510. The operation thick shaft portion 520 is located in the space on the rear side of the curtain plate 430, but the first rod-like member 510 has a length that enables it.
A hole 522 for connecting to a predetermined tool is provided on the front surface of the shaft portion 521 located in front. In this embodiment, the hole 522 has a hexagonal cross section and a predetermined depth so that the tip of the hex wrench can be inserted.
The thick shaft portion 123B of the bolt 123 and the operation thick shaft portion 520 are connected by an endless belt 530 that is stretched so as to surround both of them. The endless belt 530 is a belt-like body having a predetermined width, and is formed of a synthetic resin (synthetic rubber) having a certain hardness and flexibility. Inside, a thick shaft portion 123B and an operation thick shaft portion are formed. Irregularities that mesh with the gear-shaped irregularities of 520 are formed.
With such a configuration, the rotation of the operation thick shaft portion 520 caused by inserting the tip of the hexagon wrench into the hole 522 and turning it is transmitted to the thick shaft portion 123B via the endless belt 530, and as a result, the bolt 123 is rotated. Let Of course, the rotation direction of the bolt 123 can be changed according to the rotation direction of the hexagon wrench. By appropriately rotating the hexagon wrench, the bolt 123 can be appropriately rotated, whereby the front-rear position of the storage member 120 relative to the base member 110 can be arbitrarily determined.

The first rod-like member 510 is not necessarily limited to this, but in this embodiment, a plate having a slightly large area having a hole for penetrating the bolt 123 of the movable arm portion 122 of the first metal fitting 122A with the bolt 123 as an axis. It can be rotated within a certain angle range in a plane parallel to the shaped portion.
In order to allow such rotation, an arcuate slit 122S is provided in a plate-shaped part having a relatively large area having a hole through which the bolt 123 of the movable arm portion 122 of the first metal fitting 122A passes. The slit 122S is a part of an arc drawn around the central axis of the bolt 123. A portion of the first rod-like member 510 corresponding to the slit 122S is provided with a hole (not shown). Then, the hole and the slit 122S are collectively passed through the threaded portion 541 of the bolt 540 having a head having a diameter larger than that of the hole. By doing so, the wing nut 542 is screwed into the threaded portion 541 of the bolt 540 whose tip is exposed from the slit 122S.
When the wing nut 542 is tightened, the first rod-like member 510 and the first metal fitting 122A are strongly clamped between the wing nut 542 and the head of the bolt 540, and their positions are fixed, but the wing nut 542 is loosened. Then, the first rod-like member 510 can rotate around the bolt 123. Since the rotation of the first rod-shaped member 510 is performed around the bolt 123, the relationship between the thick shaft portion 123B of the bolt 123 and the endless belt 530 does not change even when the first rod-shaped member 510 is rotated. Therefore, the rotation of the first rod-shaped member 510 does not interfere with the positioning of the front and rear positions of the storage member 120 with respect to the base member 110 due to the rotation of the thick shaft portion 123B using a hexagon wrench.
With the above configuration, the first rod-like member 510 is allowed to rotate as described above.

As described above, the attachment device 100 can move the moving body 124 up and down by rotating the shaft 113, thereby pressing the frame body 200 to which the gaming machine is attached from the upper side. It can be canceled.
As described above, the link mechanism 144 functions to rotate the shaft 113. The link mechanism 144 will be described below.
The link mechanism 144 is provided on the rear side of the blindfold plate 145 that is set up immediately after the storage unit 120 and has a considerably large area.
A cylindrical member 146 having a cylindrical shape is provided near the upper end of the blindfold plate 145. The cylindrical member 146 has its front end fixed to a blindfold plate 145 and its rear end fixed to a second crank fitting 147 formed in a crank shape in side view and attached to the blindfold plate 145. .
The front circular surface of the cylindrical member 146 is provided with a hole 146A for connecting to a predetermined tool. In this embodiment, the hole 146A is configured such that the tip of a hexagon wrench can be inserted, and has a hexagonal cross section and a predetermined depth. The cylindrical member 146 is located in the space behind the curtain plate 430.
The link mechanism 144 connects the cylindrical member 146 and the shaft 113, and transmits the rotation of the cylindrical member 146 to the shaft 113. As long as it is possible, the link mechanism 144 may have any configuration, but the link mechanism 144 in this embodiment includes three rod-shaped members 144A, 144B, and 144C. . One end of the member 144A is fixed to the cylindrical member 146, and the other end of the member 144A is connected to one end of the member 144B. The other end of the member 144B is connected to one end of the member 144C, and the other end of the member 144C is connected to the shaft 113. The link mechanism 144 in this embodiment uses the well-known principle that the members 144A, 144B, and 144C are moved while maintaining the relationship of the three sides in the parallelogram, and the rotation of the cylindrical member 146 is directly performed. Tell axis 113.
With the configuration as described above, the moving body 124 can be moved up and down by rotating the hexagon wrench inserted into the hole 146A of the cylindrical member 146, thereby pressing the frame body 200 to which the gaming machine is attached from above. Moreover, the press can be released.

Next, a method of using the attachment device 100 will be described.
In using the attachment device 100, first, the attachment device 100 is fixed to the horizontal plate 410 of the island 400.
As described above, the attachment device 100 is fixed to the upper surface of the horizontal plate 410. When fixing the attachment device 100 to the horizontal plate 410, the movable member 127 of the attachment device 100 is passed through two holes provided in advance in the horizontal plate 410, and then the base member 110 is attached to the horizontal plate by an appropriate method. Fixed to 410.
In order to adjust the length of the movable member 127 protruding below the horizontal plate 410 before and after the attachment of the attachment device 100 to the horizontal plate 410, the movable member 127 is rotated as necessary. The adjustment of the length of the movable member 127 protruding below the horizontal plate 410 may be performed prior to the fixing of the attachment device 100 to the horizontal plate 410.
Next, the support bar 143A is rotated to appropriately position the position of the contact member 143B in the front-rear direction. The contact member 143 </ b> B is arranged such that its tip is positioned at a preferable position when the rear surface of the frame body 200 pushed from the front side in a state of being placed on the table stops there. The positioning of the contact member 143B may be performed prior to the fixing of the attachment device 100 to the horizontal plate 410.
Next, the frame 200 to which the gaming machine is fixed is fitted into a space between the attachment device 100 and the table. At this time, the frame body 200 is placed on the table such that the lower surface of the frame body 200 is in contact with the upper surface of the table. Since the position of the contact member 143B has been adjusted in advance, the frame body 200 and the gaming machine can be brought into appropriate positions in the front-rear direction only by bringing the back surface of the frame body 200 into contact with both of the two contact members 143B. Will be positioned.
In this state, the cam 125 is positioned at the position shown in FIG. In this state, the portion of the cam 125 that intersects the minor axis of the arc is in contact with the lower surface inside the moving body 124.
Next, the curtain plate 430 is opened, and the shaft 113 is rotated by rotating the hexagon wrench inserted into the hole 146A of the cylindrical member 146 located in the space behind the curtain plate 430, thereby rotating the cam 125. . The cam 125 rotates, the whole is pushed down against the force from the second spring 128, and the moving body 124 moves downward. As a result, the cam 125 is positioned at the position shown in FIG. In this state, the portion of the cam 125 that intersects the major axis of the arc comes into contact with the moving body 124.
As the moving body 124 moves downward, the storage units 126 provided at both ends of the moving body 124 also move downward. Accordingly, the movable member 127 attached to the storage unit 126 is also lowered, and the protruding piece 127D at the tip of the movable member 127 bites into the upper surface of the frame body 200 and presses the upper surface of the frame body 200 downward. If the frame body 200 is made of wood or aluminum, the protruding deformation 127D bites into the upper surface of the frame body 200 without any problem. Thereby, the frame body 200 is sandwiched between the table and the movable member 127 and fixed to the island 400. At this time, even if the position of the upper surface of the frame 200 is slightly above the planned position, there is no problem in fixing the frame 200. In such a case, the locking portion 127C provided with the protruding piece 127D moves slightly upward due to the nut 127E moving upward against the downward biasing force of the first spring 127F. is there.
In this state, a predetermined portion (for example, the fixed arm portion 112) of the attachment device 100 and a predetermined portion of the frame body 200 (for example, the left and right members of the frame body 200 or the upper member) are connected to each other. It is preferable that the wire is appropriately tied with a linear body such as the above, or the linear body tied to a predetermined part of the attachment device 100 is hooked on the frame body 200. This is useful in that the frame 200 can be prevented from falling when the fixing of the frame 200 by the attachment device 100 is released.
The frame body 200 is fixed to the island 400, and if necessary, the bolt 123 is rotated, and the bolt 123 is moved back and forth with respect to the nut 112B to position the housing member 120 appropriately in the front-rear direction. By doing so, since the upper surface of the frame 200 fixed by the movable member 127 is moved back and forth, the inclination angle of the gaming machine can be adjusted. As described above, the rotation of the bolt 123 opens the curtain plate 430, inserts the tip of the hexagon wrench into the hole 522 of the operation thick shaft portion 520 located in the space behind the curtain plate 430, and then the hexagon wrench. By rotating. The positioning of the storage member 120 can be accurately performed by appropriately rotating both the two bolts 123 positioned at both ends of the storage member 120.
As described above, the fixing of the frame body 200 to the island 400 is completed.
When removing the frame 200 from the island 400, fine adjustment is not necessary, but basically the above-described operation may be performed in reverse.

In addition, the 1st operation part 500 in this embodiment can be changed as follows.
As described above, in the first operation portion in this embodiment, the operation thick shaft portion 520 is provided at the upper end of the first rod-like member, and the bolt 123 is coaxial with the bolt 123 by rotating it with a hexagon wrench. The thick shaft portion 123 </ b> B provided at is rotated. The transmission of power from the operation thick shaft portion 520 to the thick shaft portion 123B is performed by an endless belt 530 that spans both the operation thick shaft portion 520 and the thick shaft portion 123B. This can be changed as follows.
As shown in FIG. 13, first, a first bevel gear 123C is provided on the bolt 123 in place of the thick shaft portion 123B.
An operation knob 540, a transmission shaft 541, and a second bevel gear 542 are provided instead of the operation thick shaft portion 520 and the endless belt. Although not shown, the transmission shaft 541 is arranged along the first rod-like member 510 and is supported on the first rod-like member 510 appropriately. The second bevel gear 542 is configured to mesh with the first bevel gear 123C.
In this manner, when the operation knob 540 is rotated in an arbitrary direction (when the operation knob 540 is rotated around the axis of the transmission shaft 541), the transmission shaft 541 is rotated accordingly. When the transmission shaft 541 rotates, the second bevel gear 542 rotates accordingly, and the first bevel gear 123C meshing with the second bevel gear 542 rotates. Thereby, the bolt 123 can be rotated by rotating the operation knob 540. The rotation direction of the bolt 123 can be changed by changing the rotation direction of the operation knob 540 as well.
Since the second bevel gear 542 can be rotated in a plane orthogonal to the bolt 123 while meshing with the first bevel gear 123C, the first bevel similar to the above-described embodiment is used in this example as well. The rod-shaped member 510 is allowed to rotate.
