  Hereinafter, the operation of the storage box 1 having the above-described configuration (such as a storage structure for gaming machine-related members) will be described in detail, although a part of the description is duplicated.

  The storage box 1 in the second state (folded state) shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is in the first state (the state in which the storage space S is formed) as follows. As shown in FIG. 4, the first side plate portion 30 that is bent inward with respect to the frame portion 20 is raised while lifting the frame portion 20 that is in a state of approaching the bottom portion 10. As the first side plate portion 30 stands up, the bending angle of the bent portion 41 also increases (stands up) in the second side plate portion 40 bent so that the bent portion 41 faces inward (see FIG. 3), the bent second side plate portion 40 disappears, and the second side plate portion 40 stands up. In the process in which the first side plate portion 30 stands, the receiving portion 14 provided on the bottom portion 10 enters the guide groove 32 provided between the first side plate portion 30 (between the middle guide protrusion 31c and the outer guide protrusion 31s). When the first side plate portion 30 is completely erected, the third joint portion 33 provided on the first side plate portion 30 is joined to the third joined portion 13 provided on the bottom portion 10, thereby the first side plate portion 30. Is suppressed from moving toward the accommodation space S, and the first state of the accommodation box 1 is maintained. Further, both ends of the receiving portion 14 enter the lower end (the narrowest portion 322) of the guide groove 32. Thereby, it will be in the state where the 1st side board part 30 and the 2nd side board part 40 stood up from the periphery of the bottom part 10, and the accommodation space S is formed (refer FIG. 2). That is, the storage box 1 is in the first state. When the storage box 1 is in the first state, the lower ends of the guide protrusions 31 of the first side plate portion 30 are in contact with the upper surface of the bottom portion 10 (the bottom surface of the storage space S) (the state shown in FIG. 8B). .

  In the storage box 1 in the first state, the gaming machine-related member that is the storage target is stored as follows. The object to be stored in the present embodiment is constituted by a game board unit 90 of the gaming machine (other than the parts (units) that are common to all types, such as a lower plate, an upper plate, and a launching device among the components constituting the gaming machine). A game board, an accessory, a control board, and a base member for supporting them). The game board unit 90 roughly includes a plate-like portion corresponding to the game board (hereinafter simply referred to as a plate portion 91), and a portion (hereinafter, referred to as a control board or the like protruding rearward therefrom). Simply referred to as a protrusion 92).

  The game board unit 90 is inserted from the upper opening (insertion opening) of the storage box 1. Specifically, both side edges in the width direction of the plate portion 91 enter the guide groove 32, and the protruding portion 92 is inserted so as to be located further outside than the outer guide protrusion 31s. When the game board unit 90 is moved down along the guide groove 32 as it is, the lower ends of both side edges of the plate portion 91 enter the tapered portion 323 from the wide portion 321 of the guide groove 32, and finally Is guided so as to enter the narrowest portion 322. That is, the game board unit 90 is guided so as to be located at a predetermined position in the accommodation space S by the guide groove 32. The narrowest portion 322 of the guide groove 32 may be formed slightly smaller than the thickness of the plate portion 91. The middle guiding projection 31c and the outer guiding projection 31s pushed by the plate portion 91 are elastically deformed, and the plate portion 91 is sandwiched between the deformed both guiding projections 31 to restrict the movement of the game board unit 90. Because. The lower edge of the plate portion 91 of the gaming board unit 90 thus guided contacts the receiving portion 14. That is, the game board unit 90 is located at a predetermined position in the accommodation space S (see FIG. 7). In the present embodiment, two game board units 90 can be accommodated. The two game board units 90 are arranged opposite to each other in the accommodation space S (arranged so that the game board faces face each other).

  After the two game board units 90 are positioned at predetermined positions in the accommodation space S, the presser portion 60 is bent inward. Then, the upper edge of the plate portion 91 enters the fixing groove 621 of the presser portion 60 (see FIG. 7). In this state, the lid 50 is displaced to the blocking position. In the present embodiment, a pair of locking members (one locking member 71 and the other locking member 72) are provided on the opposite side of the lid portion 50 to the side connected to the frame and the first side plate portion 30 located on the side. Is provided. The lock member may be anything as long as it can removably connect the lid 50 and the first side plate 30. In this embodiment, a so-called insulation lock is used. By joining one lock member 71 and the other lock member 72, the side where the other lock member 72 is provided in the lid portion 50 and the one first side plate portion 30 are connected.

  When the lid 50 is displaced to the blocking position, the second joint 22 provided on the frame 20 and the second joint 51 provided on the lid 50 can be joined. By joining both, the joining strength of the cover part 50 and the frame part 20 further increases. In this way, the lid portion 50 located at the closed position is connected to the frame portion 20 or the first first side plate portion 30 by joining the pair of lock members or joining the second joining portion 22 and the second joined portion 51. As a result, the insertion opening of the accommodation space S is sealed by the lid 50.

  When the lid part 50 is located at the blocking position, the pressing protrusion 52 provided on the lid part 50 comes into contact with the upper surface of the presser part 60 (plate-like body 61). As a result, the game board unit 90 is pressed from above by the presser 60. In this way, the game board unit 90 is sandwiched between the presser portion 60 and the receiving portion 14 from above and below and is housed in the housing space S in a state where both sides in the width direction enter the guide groove 32 ( (The state shown in FIG. 1 is obtained). Therefore, even if vibration or impact is applied to the storage box 1, at least a part of energy due to the vibration or the like is absorbed by a member formed of an elastic body such as the receiving portion 14 or the holding portion 60, and the game board The unit 90 does not move greatly in the accommodation space S.

  The procedure for folding the storage box 1 in the first state into the second state is as follows. In a state where nothing is accommodated in the accommodation space S as shown in FIG. 2, the first side plate portion 30 is pushed inward (the accommodation space S side), and the third joined portion 33 and the third joined portion 13 are joined. (See FIG. 3). When the first side plate portion 30 is bent inward with respect to the frame portion 20 so as to move the lower edge thereof inward, only the second side plate portion 40 exists between the frame portion 20 and the bottom portion 10. It becomes a state. Therefore, due to the weight of the frame portion 20 and the lid portion 50, the second side plate portion 40 is bent with respect to the bottom portion 10 and the frame portion 20 so as to move the bent portion 41 inward (see FIG. 4). When the second side plate portion 40 is bent, the frame portion 20 and the bottom portion 10 approach each other, and finally the first side plate portion 30 and the second side plate portion 40 that are bent between the frame portion 20 and the bottom portion 10 are sandwiched. (See FIG. 5). Thereby, the 1st junction part 21 provided in the frame part 20 and the 1st to-be-joined part 11 provided in the bottom part 10 will be in the state which can be joined. By joining the 1st joined part 21 and the 1st to-be-joined part 11, it is prevented that the bottom part 10 and the frame part 20 displace to the direction which leaves | separates mutually. That is, the folded state (second state) is maintained. In addition, the lid part 50 and the frame part 20 are positioned in the closed position in the folded state (second state), and thereby the second joint part 22 and the second joined part 51 are joined. The connected state is maintained. One lock member 71 is pulled out from one first side plate portion 30 bent inward, and the pulled lock member is coupled to the other lock member 72 provided on the lid portion 50, whereby the lid portion 50 moves. You may maintain so that it may not exist (refer FIG. 6).

  According to the gaming machine-related member accommodation box 1 according to the present embodiment described above, the following effects are exhibited.

  Since the accommodation box 1 is provided with a guide groove 32 that guides when the gaming machine-related member is accommodated, it is easy to perform the housing operation, and both sides of the plate portion 91 in the gaming machine-related member (game board unit 90). Since the portion is accommodated between the pair of guide grooves 32, it is possible to prevent damage or the like due to the accommodated gaming machine-related member moving in the accommodation space S (front-back or left-right). In addition, since the guide protrusion 31 is formed wider on the lower side than on the upper side, the guide groove 32 becomes wider on the upper side, so that the gaming machine related member is accommodated in a predetermined position in the accommodation space S. It's easy to do. At the same time, when the first side plate portion 30 is erected, the lower end surface of the thick guide protrusion 31 is in contact with the bottom surface (bottom portion 10), so that the first side plate portion 30 erected by the guide protrusion 31 is stable. It becomes a state (it can suppress that the said 1st side board part 30 falls, etc. when external force acts with respect to the 1st side board part 30). That is, the guide protrusion 31 exhibits two functions: a function of guiding the stored gaming machine related member to a predetermined position, and a function of stabilizing the first side plate portion 30 in an upright state.

  By the receiving part 14 provided in the bottom part 10, it is possible to reduce the impact with respect to a gaming machine related member (lower side). Moreover, when the storage box 1 is set to the first state, both ends of the receiving portion 14 are positioned at the lower end of the guide groove 32 (enter into the guide groove 32). Therefore, it is possible to suppress the first side plate portion 30 in which the guide groove 32 is formed from being inclined with respect to the bottom portion 10 in which the receiving portion 14 is formed. Further, when the first side plate portion 30 is erected in order to set the accommodation box 1 in the second state to the first state, the receiving portion 14 enters the lower side of the guide groove 32 that is narrower than the upper side while the first side plate portion 30 is raised. Since the one side plate part 30 stands, it becomes easy to change the box from the second state to the first state (molding the box). That is, the receiving part 14 exhibits an action other than the function of reducing the impact on the gaming machine related member.

  Moreover, since the presser part 60 which contacts and presses the upper end of the gaming machine-related member accommodated in the accommodation space S is provided, the accommodated gaming machine-related member is prevented from moving (upward). Is possible. Therefore, when the gaming machine-related member (game board unit 90) is stored in the first state, at least the guidance groove 32 (guidance protrusion 31), the receiving portion 14, and the holding portion 60 (lid portion 50) are related to the gaming machine. Since the front and rear, left and right, and top and bottom of the member (game board unit 90) are pressed, it is possible to suppress the stored gaming machine related member (game board unit 90) from moving in the storage space S. .

  When the storage box 1 is in the second state, the first joint portion 21 can be joined to the first joined portion 11. That is, if the 1st junction part 21 and the 1st to-be-joined part 11 are joined, the storage box 1 will be maintained in a 2nd state (Even if the frame part 20 is lifted, the frame part 20 and the bottom part 10 may leave | separate. No), it is convenient for storage and transportation (when not in use). In addition, unlike cardboard, it is easy to store and difficult to break, so versatility can be enhanced.

  When the insertion opening of the accommodation space S is sealed in the first state, the first joint portion 21 used for joining the lid portion 50 and the frame portion 20 in the second state, and the frame portion 20 and the bottom portion in the second state. The second joining portion 22 used for joining 10 may be configured to be provided integrally with the joining member 23. Moreover, in the said embodiment, when it exists in a 2nd state, it is comprised so that the 1st junction part 21 and the 1st to-be-joined part 11 can be connected, When it is in a 1st state separately from this A bonded portion to which the first bonding portion 21 can be connected may be provided in the second side plate portion 40.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
