Next, the operation of the gaming machine island 10 will be described.
When installing the gaming machine 1 while assembling the gaming machine island 10, first, the base portion common to all the gaming machines 1A and 1B is assembled. As shown in FIG. 11A, a pair of base members 110, 110 constituting a common base base 11 are installed on the floor surface so as to be separated from each other in parallel. At this time, each base member 110 may be fixed to the floor surface with an anchor or the like. In FIG. 3B, the guide base member 120 is attached to each base member 110 so as to cover it from above.

The guide base member 120 is provided with a support portion through hole 121 for penetrating the strut support portion 112 of the base member 110, and each base member 110 is positioned by penetrating the strut support portion 112 through the support portion through hole 121. Then, the base body 111 is covered with screws and fixed with screws 123. Although the base members 110 are arranged apart from each other, they are positioned and connected at the positions by the guide base member 120.

According to such a base base 11, the base member 110 is provided in the lowermost layer, and by receiving and supporting the entire load on the upper side including the support column 20, the load is applied to the floor by the base member 110 that is in direct contact with the floor surface. It will be released to the surface, and no load will be applied to other members. Therefore, if only the base member 110 is mainly made of a metal having high rigidity, sufficient strength can be maintained.

Since the guide base member 120 is made of paper that is lighter than the material of the base member 110, the weight does not increase. The guide base member 120 not only hides each base member 110, but also positions each base member 110 in a predetermined arrangement at the time of assembly. Further, after assembly, even if an extra load is applied to each guide member due to vibration or the like from the gaming machine 1, the gaming equipment, the lifting device, etc., each base member 110 is individually provided by the guide base member 120.

Further, although not shown, there is a possibility that each base member 110 may open outward or move back and forth. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when one (right side in the figure) base member 110 is lifted, the load is concentrated on the other (left side in the figure) base member 110, and the weight of the base member 110 causes the other. Since the base member 110 of the pachinko / pachislot machine 110 escapes inward, there is a risk that the pachinko / pachislot machine island 10 will fall. According to the base 11 on the game machine island 10, all such problems can be solved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), on the bottom surface side of the guide base member 120, there is a recess 124 in which the base body 111 of the base member 110 fits in the height direction and leads to the position. When the guide base member 120 is covered on the base member 110 by the recess 124, the gap between the bottom surface of the guide base member 120 and the floor surface is set to be equal to or less than the height dimension of the base body 111, preferably a slight height. Can only be suppressed.

As a result, when the guide base member 120 is covered on the base member 110, mutual misalignment can be prevented, and the base members 110 can be guided to a predetermined arrangement at regular intervals and in parallel. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the guide base member 120 is covered, the height and thickness of the base body 111 can be offset so as not to be significantly separated from the floor surface, and the aesthetic appearance is not spoiled. , It is possible to prevent a large gap from the floor surface where dust or the like can easily enter.

Further, the guide base member 120 is made of paper, which makes it possible to further reduce the weight of the base base 11, prevent the weight increase of the entire gaming machine island 10, and change the arrangement or an event at another place. It becomes easy to move in time. In addition, decoration by printing becomes easy, and the degree of freedom regarding decoration is improved. In addition, it is easy to dispose of the guide base member 120 that is no longer needed when the gaming machine 1 is replaced.

The stud member 530 may also be formed of paper in the same manner as the case frame decorative member 50 and the like.

As described above, according to the pachinko / pachislot machine island 10, different types of pachinko / pachislot machines 1A and 1B are used as common parts such as a base 11, a support 20, a top plate 40, a case frame 30, and a support decorative member 220. The case frame decorative member 50 can be assembled so as to be installed at an optimum height position, and replacement work for different types of gaming machines 1A and 1B can be easily performed.

Further, although the columns 20 and the case frame 30 are made of common parts, the assembly procedure is different for each different type of gaming machine 1, so that the adjustment of the height position different for each gaming machine 1 is not particularly conscious. However, the assembly of the gaming machine island 10 and the installation or replacement work of the gaming machine 1 can be easily and quickly performed only by following the procedure. In addition, work mistakes during installation work can be prevented.

That is, when installing the gaming machine 1A (pachinko machine) as described above, the position adjusting member 210 of the support column 20 is connected on the first installation portion 201 of the limb portion 200, and the second installation of the position adjusting member 210 is performed. The case frame 30 is installed in the portion 211. As a result, the gaming machine 1A can be installed at a higher position by the height of the position adjusting member 210.

On the other hand, when installing another gaming machine 1B (slot machine), the case frame 30 is installed in the first installation portion 201 of the limb portion 200, and the upper side of the limb portion 200 extending upward from the first installation portion 201. The position adjusting member 210 is connected. As a result, the gaming machine 1 can be installed at a low position without being affected by the height of the position adjusting member 210.

Further, with respect to the support support member 220 to be attached to the support column 20, the position adjustment member 210 can be attached to the position adjustment member 210 by simply turning the attachment mode of the upper decoration member 221 to the lower decoration member 223 for each of the different types of gaming machines 1A and 1B. It is possible to deal with differences in height. As described above, since the support column decorative member 220 is also a common member, the support column decoration member 220 can be easily replaced.

Further, as described above, the guide base member 120, the top plate 40, the support column decorative member 220, and the case frame decorative member 50 of the base base 11 are each molded from paper, and the decorative members are decorated by printing. Is easy, and the degree of freedom regarding decoration is improved. In addition, it is easy to dispose of each member that is no longer needed when the gaming machine 1 is replaced. Further, since the weight of the entire gaming machine island 10 is reduced, it is easy to move when the arrangement is changed or an event is held at another place.

Here, as paper, laminated corrugated cardboard or reinforced corrugated cardboard is suitable. Laminated corrugated cardboard is made by laminating multiple sheets of general corrugated cardboard, which can be processed into various shapes and has sufficient strength, and can be reused as a raw material when discarded. can. Reinforced corrugated cardboard is made of ordinary corrugated cardboard having a double or triple structure, water resistance, and high strength.

Such papers can be quickly disposed of by incineration or cutting, and can be reused as raw materials. Of course, the material of the corrugated cardboard is not limited to pure paper, and a material formed by using a plastic material (polypropylene, polycarbonate, etc.) may be used as the material of the game machine island 10. Further, instead of a corrugated cardboard shape, a plate shape (whether or not a hollow portion is provided inside) may be used. Further, instead of paper, a light material such as wood such as cork or aluminum may be used.

Next, FIGS. 18 to 21 show a modified example of the gaming machine island 10.
In this modification, the configuration of each member is slightly different within the scope of the design items, and the configuration of the support column 200A is different from that of the support column 20. The same type of parts as those of the gaming machine island 10 are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted.

The support column 200A is composed of only a portion corresponding to the limb portion 200 of the support column 20, and is not provided with the position adjusting member 210. An installation portion 201A corresponding to the first installation portion 201 is provided on the upper end side of the support column 200A, and a male screw portion 202 is above the installation portion 201A. Here, the installation portion 201A is provided in a stepped shape protruding from the outer wall surface of the support column 200A over the entire circumference, similarly to the first installation portion 201.

As shown enlarged in FIG. 21, the nut 213 is attached to the male screw portion at the upper end of the support column 200A in a state where the upper end of the support column 200A is fitted into each support column through hole 302 in the bottom plate 300 of the case frame 30. Screw it into 202. At this time, the bottom plate 300 is installed at the position when the inner peripheral edge of the column through hole 302 comes into contact with the installation portion 201A of the column 200A.

FIG. 22 shows another modification, the support column 200B.
In this modification, the upper end side of the support column 200B has a small diameter extending coaxially, and the stepped portion of the boundary having the small diameter is used as it is as the installation portion 201B. Further, a male screw portion 202 is formed on the outer circumference of the small diameter portion.

FIG. 23 shows yet another modified example, the support column 200C.
In this modified example as well, the upper end side of the support column 200C is set to have a small diameter extending coaxially, and the stepped portion of the boundary where the small diameter is obtained is used as the installation portion 201C as it is. A female screw portion 202C is provided. That is, a screw hole is formed along the axis from the upper end surface of the small diameter portion to form the female screw portion 202C, and the bolt 213C is screwed to the female screw portion 202C instead of the nut 213.

The bottom plate 300 is sandwiched and fixed between the installation portion 201C and the head of the bolt 213C. As described above, when the male threaded portion 202 is formed on the outer periphery of the upper end of the columns 200A and 200B, the male threaded portion 202 projects upward from the bottom plate 300, but the female threaded portion 202C is provided inside the upper end of the column 200C. When formed, the length of the upper end of the support column 200C may be set so as to stop at the same position as the bottom surface of the bottom surface plate 300 or at a position lower than the bottom surface.

Further, although the modified examples shown in FIGS. 18 to 23 do not include the top plate 40, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the modified examples may also be configured to include the top plate 40.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, a female threaded portion is formed on the inner peripheral edge side of the column through hole 302 in the bottom plate 300, and the male threaded portion 202 formed on the upper end side of the column 200A is directly screwed. It may be configured to match.

In this way, when the male threaded portion 202 of the strut 200A is directly screwed into the female threaded portion of the strut through hole 302 of the bottom plate 300, the strut is rotated in the same manner as the bolt and nut are fixed, and the case frame 30 and the case frame 30 are used. The support column 200A is connected. In this case, the case frame 30 and the support column 200A are assembled at the same time as the above-mentioned base member 110 and the guide base member 120 are assembled. That is, the support column 200A is attached to the base member 110 in the state shown in FIG. 27.

Although examples of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these examples, and the present invention may be changed or added without departing from the gist of the present invention. included. For example, in the above-described embodiment, only two types of gaming machines, a pachinko machine and a slot machine, have been described, but they may be applied to other types of gaming machines, and even if they are the same type of gaming machines, they have different external dimensions. Can be applied to.

Further, in the above embodiment, the guide base member 120 itself is configured to also serve as the base base decorative member, but a base base decorative member having the same shape as the base base 11 is prepared as a separate body and guided later. It may be attached to the base member 120. Further, the material of each member is not limited to paper, and may be composed of various materials such as a plate material made of synthetic resin. For example, although it has been stated that it is desirable to process wood instead of paper for each of the face plates 300, 310, 320 of the case frame 30, part or all of each face plate 300, 310, 320 is made of corrugated cardboard (made of paper, It may be made of resin or aluminum).

Further, in the above embodiment, the concave receiving portions 511, 512 on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the back decorative panel 510 are convex on the lower reinforcing plate 330 and the upper reinforcing plate 340 on the back side of the case frame 30. The back decorative panel 510 is attached to the case frame 30 by inserting it into the insertion portions 331 and 341 from above, but in the opposite aspect, the shape of the receiving portions 511 and 512 is made convex, and the insertion portions 331 and 341 are formed. It may have a concave shape.

Similarly, the side decorative panel 500 is inserted by inserting the concave receiving portions 502 and 503 on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the side decorative panel 500 into the convex insertion portions 313 and 314 on the side plate 310 from above. Although it is attached to the side plate 310, in the opposite aspect, the receiving portions 502 and 503 may have a convex shape and the insertion portions 313 and 314 may have a concave shape.
