It is possible.

Subsequently, the installation operation of the handrest 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, when stored (not in use), the handrest 1 is stored along the lower surface of the mounting shelf 100, and the handrest 1 is stored inside the end surface 101 of the mounting shelf 100. (FIG. 12A). That is, since it is stored on the gaming machine side with respect to the mounting shelf 100, even if the player does not use the handrest 1 and the handrest 1 is in the stored state, the player's knee movement is obstructed. do not become. In addition, when the handrest 1 is stored, the placement surface 52 of the handrest body 6 faces downward, so that the pain can be alleviated even if the player hits the placement portion 50 of the handrest body 6 when standing up. be able to. The end surface 60 of the support member 2 is in contact with the end surface 61 of the skeleton 51 of the handrest body 6. That is, a part of the first connection member 3 and the second connection member 5 is accommodated in the support member 2.

  Next, the first connection member 3 is pulled out relative to the support member 2 on the front side in the longitudinal direction of the support member 2 (solid line in FIG. 12B). At that time, the protrusions 20 and 21 of the first connection member 3 slide to the front side in the longitudinal direction of the support member 2, and the protrusion 21 located near the center of the first connection member 3 is locked by the locking portion 16. Is done. That is, the locking portion 16 can prevent the first connection member 3 from falling off the support member 2. At this time, the second connection member 5 and the handrest body 6 move integrally with the first connection member 3. Further, since a solid lubricating material is used for the protrusions 20 and 21, sliding relative to the support member 2 is possible.

  Next, the second connecting member 5 is rotated about 90 degrees in the circumferential direction (the thickness direction of the mounting shelf 100) relative to the first connecting member 3 with the first fastening member 8 as the rotation axis (FIG. 12). (Broken line in (b)). That is, the second connecting member 5 rotates around the body of the bolt 27 of the first fastening member 8 as a rotation axis, and is in a position substantially parallel to the end surface 101 of the mounting shelf 100. At this time, the handrest body 6 moves integrally with the second connection member 5, and the first connection member 3 is locked with the locking portion 16, so that it does not move.

  Thereafter, the handrest body 6 is rotated about 90 degrees in the circumferential direction relative to the second connection member 5 with the second fastening member 10 as an axis, and the handrest body 6 is installed on the upper surface 102 of the mounting shelf 100.

The winding member 71 is a member that can wind up the connection member 72, and includes a case 78, a reel 76 that can wind up the connection member 72, and a control lever 77 that can limit the movement of the connection member 72.
The reel 76 is a bobbin that can be engaged with the control lever 77. The reel 76 is urged in the direction in which the connecting member 72 is wound up. The control lever 77 is engaged with the reel 76 and is a member that can slide in accordance with the rotation of the reel 76. The control lever 77 includes a locking mechanism that locks the movement of the reel 76 in the winding direction. When the control lever 77 is released, the locking mechanism that locks the movement of the reel 76 in the winding direction can also be released.
The connection member 72 is a string-like body and has a strength that can withstand the weight of the handrest body 75. The connecting member 72 has a bendable rigidity. One end of the connection member 72 is bonded to the reel 76 to prevent the connection member 72 from separating. The other end of the connection member 72 is bonded to the handrest body 75.
The handrest body 75 is the same as the handrest body 6 except for the presence / absence of the connection groove 53 and the difference in connection method.

  Hereinafter, the installation operation of the handrest 70 will be described.

  When not in use, the reel 76 winds up the connecting member 72, and a part of the case 78 and a part of the handrest body 75 are in contact with each other (FIG. 16A). That is, the connection member 72 is accommodated in the case 78. When the handrest body 75 is pulled out to the player side, the reel 76 rotates and the connecting member 72 is sent out of the case 78. Then, the connection member 72 is bent as shown in FIG. 16B, and the handrest body 75 is installed on the upper surface 102 of the mounting shelf 100. At this time, once the connecting member 72 is sent out of the case 78, the locking mechanism of the control lever 77 works, the rotation of the reel 76 in the winding direction is restricted, and the connecting member 72 does not return into the case. . When the control lever 77 is released, the locking mechanism is released, and the reel 76 is slowly rotated in the winding direction, so that the connection member 72 is accommodated in the case 78. That is, it returns to the state when not in use.

  In the third embodiment described above, the mounting shelf 100 is not processed, but it is preferable to provide a notch groove on the end surface 101 of the mounting shelf 100 as shown in FIG. The stability of the handrest body 75 is increased by the notch groove.
