Description

  The present invention relates to an island structure for mounting a pachinko machine or a pachislot machine.

Conventionally, various ideas and improvements have been made on island structures for attaching gaming machines such as pachinko machines and pachislot machines, and further improvements have been attempted.

  For example, it is possible to support game machines of different models, and the islands where the game machines are installed can be separated from each other in the height direction so that the width and length of the islands on which they are installed can be changed. An island structure is formed by the pillar unit, its upper unit, and the lower back unit, and each of these units can be moved in the width (length) direction, making it easier to build by unitization (for example, Patent Document 1) has been proposed.

Further, in order to arbitrarily mount different types of game machines, it has been proposed to interpose an interposed member in the height direction (Patent Document 2). However, most of the improvements and innovations so far have been based on the premise that wood is used to form the skeleton of the island structure, and that makeup is made using wood boards. For this reason, in the formation of the island structure itself, the work of cutting for nail fixing and dimension adjustment has been a heavy burden. Moreover, the problem was that post-recombination was very difficult, and from the disassembly, the work for reorganization of the island structure became an extremely heavy burden, and advanced skills of craftsmen were required. It was. Depending on the size of the amusement hall and the change of the plane shape, the combination mounting of multiple types of pachinko machines, pachislot machines, etc. The formation of a new island structure that can be realized simply and quickly at low cost has been desired.

  On the other hand, it is also proposed to use a metal aggregate instead of forming a skeleton using wood (for example, Patent Document 3). In this metal skeleton, a plurality of depths of screw grooves are provided in the support column of the frame for mounting the gaming machine, and the installation position of the gaming machine in the width (length) direction of the island can be easily adjusted by selecting this screw groove. I also try to be.

  However, in the previous proposals for island structures with metal frameworks, only the mass productivity with uniform members and the efficiency of assembly work were considered, and it was not enough to respond to the subsequent recombination. Since the width (length) adjustment by means of only a few degrees of freedom, for example, the reality is that the position adjustment flexibility by combining different types of gaming machines is poor. For this reason, there are few practical island structures with a metal skeleton, and even if a metal material is used, it is only a part of a combination with a wood material.

  From the background as described above, the present invention makes full use of the advantages of using metal as an aggregate, achieves mass production effects, ease of assembly work, and post-change recombination, that is, from disassembly to reorganization. A new amusement island structure that can be easily and quickly adapted to the size and shape of the amusement hall space, and can be easily adjusted and fixed to accommodate different types and dimensions of gaming machines. It is an issue to provide.

  The gaming machine island structure of the present invention is characterized by the following in order to solve the above problems.

First: In an amusement island having a plurality of gaming machine placement portions and a lower lower portion of the gaming machine, the island skeleton has a central column, a lower column, an upper column, a horizontal frame, and a top portion for each of the gaming machines. is configured as a metal frame body made of transverse frame, by a panel member to be attached to the metal frame body, the arrangement position and arrangement pattern of the gaming machine is freely adjustable, in addition the game island width (lateral) direction, same island gap provided between adjacent said game machine is covered by the engagement of freely said panel member detachable, and the metal frame of the position of the front and rear is connected with a partition plate portion.

  According to the present invention as described above, taking advantage of the case of using metal as an aggregate, it achieves mass production effects, ease of assembly work, and post-change recombination, that is, from disassembly to reorganization, According to the size and shape of the game space, it is possible to easily and quickly respond, and it is easy to adjust and fix the position corresponding to different models and dimensions of the gaming machines.

It is the front view which illustrated a part of island skeleton. It is the front view (A) and side view (B) which showed the example of the unit module. FIG. 2 is a plan view corresponding to FIG. 1. It is the outline perspective view illustrated about formation of an island structure. FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view different from FIG. 4. It is the principal part perspective view illustrated about the engagement structure in the lower end part of a cover panel body.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing a part of an island skeleton in the game island structure of the present invention. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, in the gaming island structure, a gaming machine, for example, an arrangement part 1 such as a pachinko machine or a pachislot machine, a lower waist part 2 below it, and a curtain board part 3 are provided. .

  In this island structure, the column 4 as a part of the skeleton is made of metal such as steel or aluminum. Further, in the space 5 in the gaming machine arrangement portion 1, an upper support plate 6 that supports the upper end portion of the gaming machine and a lower support plate portion 7 that supports the lower end portion thereof are arranged. Here, the upper support plate portion 6 and the lower support plate portion 7 can also be made of metal.

  Further, the lower support plate portion 7 is combined with the gutter plate 8. In the curtain plate portion 3, a curtain plate 9 that can be opened and closed is disposed.

  About the support | pillar 4 which comprises an island frame | skeleton, it can comprise as a unit module illustrated to the front view and side view of FIG. 2 (A) (B). Each of the support columns 4 can be configured as a metal frame by a center support column 41 corresponding to the gaming machine placement unit 1, a lower support column 42 corresponding to the lower waist 2, and an upper support column 43 corresponding to the curtain plate unit 3. . These struts can be formed into a frame-like body by the horizontal frame group. For example, it is possible to assemble with the horizontal frame 61 in the upper support plate portion 6, the horizontal frame 71 in the lower support plate portion 7, and the metal horizontal frames such as the foundation horizontal frame 10 and the top horizontal frame 11.

  For example, in the formation of an amusement island having unit modules as metal frame bodies as described above, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 3 corresponding to FIG. The structure can be connected in the (width) direction, and the connection at the front surface (A) and the connection at the back surface (B) are assembled and arranged at the front and rear positions with the partition plate portion 12. The partition plate portion 12 can also be made of metal.

  For example, in the structure of the island skeleton as the metal frame body by connecting the unit modules as described above or assembling the front and rear positions via the partition plate portion 12, the island structure of the present invention is attached to the metal frame body. The arrangement position and arrangement pattern of the gaming machine are made adjustable by the panel body.

  That is, in the width (lateral) direction of the game island, for example, the gap (L) provided between adjacent gaming machines within the dimension (W) between the support posts 4 illustrated in FIG. Make sure it is covered. By providing a gap (L), for example, pachinko machines with different width sizes can be placed side by side, or dissimilar gaming machines such as pachinko machines and pachislot machines can be placed on the same island, allowing freedom of design and construction. Increase the degree. And this clearance gap (L) can be covered with the arrangement | positioning of the panel body made into the required dimension as needed. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 illustrate the outline of the formation of such an island structure.

  The above-mentioned gap (L) is required in an island skeleton formed as a metal frame by the central column 41, the lower column 42, the upper column 43, the horizontal frames 61 and 71, the top horizontal frame 11, and further the partition plate portion 12. A metal covering panel body 13 that can be covered according to the above is provided, and this is detachable. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the cover panel body 13 has its upper end engaged with the horizontal frame 61 of the upper support plate portion 6 and its lower end with respect to the horizontal frame 71 of the lower support plate portion 7. Engage by pushing from the direction of arrow α in the figure. The engagement at the upper and lower ends may take various forms. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, a cut-and-raised piece portion 711 is formed in the horizontal frame 71 of the lower support plate portion 7, and the cut-and-raised piece portion 711 is bent at the lower end portion of the cover panel body 13. The opening 131 can be inserted so that the cut-and-raised piece 711 is prevented from being detached by the bent portion 711 and engaged. In contrast to the pushing direction α, if it is pulled strongly toward the front side, this engagement is released and the covering panel body is detached. The cover panel body 13 can be attached and detached and removed with one touch.

  As for the island structure of the present invention, taking advantage of the metal aggregate as described above, the mass production effect and the ease of assembly work are realized, and after-the-fact modification, that is, from disassembly to reorganization.
