The contact pad is activated only when the operating lever is intentionally operated by the user.
As described above, in the game machine holding device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, unlike the conventional game machine holding device 100, even if an external force acts on the contact pad, the contact pad operates in an unintended direction. The contact pad does not operate unless the user intentionally operates the operating lever. Therefore, according to the game machine holding device according to the first aspect of the present invention, the game machine can be reliably held.
Also, the operating lever and the contact pad are operatively connected via a third link member. By adjusting the length of the third link member, the distance between the operation lever and the contact pad can be set to any distance, and the distance between the operation lever and the contact pad can be set according to the space in which the game table holding device is installed. placement can be determined.

Furthermore, the movement of the contact pad from the first position to the second position can be realized by a single operation of rotating the operating lever in a predetermined direction, and the release of the hold on the game table can be easily performed. It is possible.
According to the game machine holding device according to the second aspect of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects of the game machine holding device according to the first aspect.
In the game table holding device according to the second aspect of the present invention, the engagement between the stopper and the pin is released by rotating the stopper in a predetermined direction, the pressing plate is lowered by the biasing force of the spring, and the game table is held. and presses the game table downward. That is, the upper support unit is activated. Thus, according to the game table holding device according to the second embodiment, it is possible to simultaneously hold the right side surface and the upper surface of the game table by operating the side support unit and the upper support unit. .
Also, by rotating the contact pad from the first position to the second position, the stopper engages the pin via the fourth link member. That is, the pressing plate rises against the urging force of the spring, leaves the upper surface of the gaming table, and the downward pressing of the gaming table is released. Thus, it is possible to release both the side support unit and the top support unit from the play table with a single action of rotating the contact pad from the first position to the second position.

The game table holding device 500 having the above structure is used as follows.
As described above, the contact pad 533 contacts the right side surface 700A of the game table 700 and presses the game table 700 toward the holding plate 900 arranged on the left side surface (the position shown in FIG. 5). ) and a second position (position shown in FIG. 4) where the right side surface 700A of the gaming table 700 is not in contact. Before the gaming table 700 is installed, the contact pad 533 is positioned at the second position (FIG. 4), and the stopper 554 of the trigger unit 550 is positioned to engage the pin 556. there is

When the contact pad 533 is in the second position, as shown in FIG. 4, the first link member 523 is substantially horizontal (or slightly downward to the right) and the first portion 524A of the second link member 524 is substantially horizontal. It is horizontal (or slightly upward to the right).
Also, since the stopper 554 is engaged with the pin 556, the substrate 552 of the trigger unit 550 is at its highest position. That is, the pin 556 is at the highest position in the slot 551B of the mounting plate 551, and the pin 572B is at the lowest position in the slot 552D of the substrate 552.
Furthermore, when the contact pad 533 is at the second position, the fifth pin 527E is positioned at the leftmost position of the elongated hole 525A of the third link member 525 as shown in FIG. ), the fifth pin 527E is located on the rightmost side of the long hole 570A of the fourth link member 570. As shown in FIG.

After the game table 700 is installed under the game table holding device 500, the contact pad 533 is moved to the second position by rotating the operating lever 522 (handle 522A) in the counterclockwise direction R as shown in FIG. (FIG. 4) to the first position (FIG. 5).
When the operating lever 522 (handle 522A) is rotated in the counterclockwise direction R, as shown in FIG. The action of the third link member 525 rotates from the second position (FIG. 4) to the first position (FIG. 5).
When the contact pad 533 moves to the first position, the contact pad 533 does not move unless an external force is applied to the operating lever 522 (handle 522A). The contact pad 533 in the first position moves even if an external force acts on the contact pad 533 (especially an external force directed to rotate the contact pad 533 from the first position toward the second position). It does not (rotate) and is maintained at the first position unless the operation lever 522 (handle 522A) is operated.
When rotating the contact pad 533 from the second position to the first position, the first link member 523, the second link member 524 and the third link member 525 operate as follows.

The first link member 523 rotates clockwise around the first pin 527A (through holes 521A, 523A). As the first link member 523 rotates, the second link member 524 rotates clockwise around the third pin 527C (through holes 521B and 524C).
As shown in FIG. 5, in this state, the second pin 527B (through holes 522B, 523B) is positioned between the first pin 527A and the third pin 527C in the vertical direction. , is located outside (the side facing the contact pad 533).
As the second link member 524 rotates clockwise around the third pin 527C (through holes 521B and 524C), the fifth pin 527E moves toward the third link member as shown in FIG. 525 is slid rightward to the right end of the long hole 525A, and the third link member 525 relatively moves leftward. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the connecting member 532 rotates counterclockwise about the through holes 531A and 532A, and the contact pad 533 moves from the second position (FIG. 4) to the first position (FIG. 5). ).

As a result of the above operation of first link member 523, second link member 524 and third link member 525, contact pad 533 transitions from the second position to the first position. When the contact pad 533 is at the first position, the contact pad 533 contacts the right side 700A of the game table 700 and presses the game table 700 toward its left side. As a result, the gaming table 700 is sandwiched between the holding plate 900 supporting the left side surface and the contact pad 533, and can be held stably in the left-right direction (horizontal direction). In particular, the non-slip sheets 914 and 924 of the holding plate 900 hold the holding plate 900 without slipping.
Next, the stopper 554 is pushed downward against the biasing force of the spring 555 . That is, as shown in FIG. 12A, the stopper 554 is rotated counterclockwise around the through hole 554A and the through hole 551A of the mounting plate 551. Then, as shown in FIG. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 12(C), the engagement between the tip of the stopper 554 and the pin 566 is released. Since the board 552 to which the pin 566 is fixed is biased downward by the spring 553, the board 552 slides downward when the engagement between the tip of the stopper 554 and the pin 566 is released.

When the substrate 552 slides downward, the pins 572B that are engaged with the elongated holes 552D of the substrate 552 also move downward along with the substrate 552 along the elongated holes 552D. As the pin 572B moves downward, a downward force acts on the fourth link member 570 to which the pin 572B is attached at the position of the pin 572B, and as a result, the fourth link member 570 moves the pin 572A. Rotate clockwise around the center. In this case, the fifth pin 527E slides to the left end of the long hole 570A of the fourth link member 570, as shown in FIG. 14(D).
As a result, the third link member 525 relatively moves leftward in the same manner as when the fifth pin 527E rotates clockwise.
As described above, by rotating the operating lever 522 (the handle 522A) in the counterclockwise direction R, regardless of whether the stopper 554 and the pin 556 are engaged (whether or not the trigger unit 550 is operated). regardless), the contact pad 533 can be transitioned from the second position to the first position and the contact pad 533 can be fixed in the first position.

To move the contact pad 533 from the first position (FIG. 5) to the second position (FIG. 4), the operating lever 522 (handle 522A) is rotated clockwise S as shown in FIG. As a result, the first link member 523, the second link member 524 and the third link member 525 operate in a manner opposite to that when the contact pad 533 is rotated from the second position (FIG. 4) to the first position (FIG. 5). , and the contact pad 533 rotates from the first position (FIG. 5) to the second position (FIG. 4). As a result, the contact pad 533 is released from the right side surface 700A of the gaming table 700, so that the gaming table 700 can be taken out in the horizontal direction.
When the operating lever 522 (handle 522A) is rotated in the clockwise direction S, the trigger unit 550 automatically transitions to the state shown in FIG. That is, when the operation lever 522 (handle 522A) is rotated in the clockwise direction S, the fourth link member 570 rotates counterclockwise about the pin 572A. slide to. The pin 566 rotates the stopper 554 counterclockwise around the through-holes 551A and 554A against the biasing force of the spring 555, and engages with the hook-shaped tip of the stopper 554 again.

Thus, the transition of the contact pad 533 from the first position (FIG. 5) to the second position (FIG. 4) is accomplished by a single action of rotating the operating lever 522 (handle 522A) in the clockwise direction S. can be realized.
According to the game table holding device 500 according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In the game machine holding device 500 according to this embodiment, the contact pad 533 is not directly connected to the operation lever 522 (handle 522A), and the link mechanism (first link member 523, second link member 524 and third link It is operatively and indirectly connected to the operating lever 522 (handle 522A) via the member 525).
Therefore, even if an external force acts on the contact pad 533 in a direction to rotate the contact pad 533 from the first position (FIG. 5) to the second position (FIG. 4), the external force is blocked by the link mechanism. It does not reach the operating lever 522 (handle 522A) and does not move the operating lever 522 (handle 522A).

Thus, even if an external force acts on the contact pad 533, the external force does not operate the operating lever 522 (handle 522A). The contact pad 533 operates only when the user intentionally operates the operating lever 522 (handle 522A). That is, only the user can move the contact pad 533 from the first position (FIG. 5) to the second position (FIG. 4).
In the conventional game table holding device 100, the cam 112 is directly connected to the lever 114. Therefore, even if the lever 114 is not operated, that is, even if no external force is applied to the lever 114, the cam 112 will not operate for some reason. When an external force acts on itself, the cam 112 may rotate in an unintended direction, causing the movable member 120 to move upward.
The game machine holding device 500 according to the present embodiment can solve such problems in the conventional game machine holding device 100 . In the game machine holding device 500 according to this embodiment, unlike the conventional game machine holding device 100, even if an external force acts on the contact pad 533, the contact pad 533 moves in an unintended direction (from the first position to the second position). The contact pad 533 does not rotate from the first position to the second position unless the operation lever 522 (handle 522A) is operated. Therefore, according to the game table holding device 500 according to the present embodiment, the game table 700 can be reliably held.

Further, the operation lever 522 (handle 522A) and the contact pad unit 530 are operatively connected via a third link member 525. As shown in FIG. By adjusting the length of the third link member 525, the distance between the operation lever 522 (handle 522A) and the contact pad unit 530 can be set to any distance, and the space for installing the game table holding device 500 can be adjusted. The arrangement of the operation lever 522 (handle 522A) and the contact pad unit 530 can be determined according to the condition.
Further, the transition of the contact pad 533 from the first position to the second position can be realized by a single action of rotating the operating lever 522 (handle 522A) in the clockwise direction S. It is possible to easily release the holding.
The game table holding device 500 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the structure described above, and various modifications are possible.

In the game table holding device 500 according to the first embodiment, since the contact pads 533 are fixedly attached to the connecting members 532 via the rod members 533C, replacement of the contact pads 533 and replacement of the game table 700 are possible. It is impossible to adjust the distance between the rubber sheet 533B and the connecting member 532 that contact the right side 700A.
For example, by forming the rod member 533C as an external thread and tightening this external thread with a nut (eg, a double nut) on the outer surface of the connecting member 532, the contact pad 533 can be removed and the contact pad 533 can be removed. can be replaced.
Furthermore, by adjusting the length of the external thread of the connecting member 532, the distance between the rubber sheet 533B and the connecting member 532 can be set to a desired distance.

Long holes 660C extending in the vertical direction are formed at both ends of the vertical surface 660B of the pressing plate 660 . As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, each slot 660C is fitted with a pin 660D fixedly attached to the vertical surface 510B of the base member 510. As shown in FIGS. Therefore, the pressing plate 660 can slide vertically on the vertical surface 510B of the base member 510 (see FIG. 17B). When the pressing plate 660 slides to the lowest position, the horizontal surface 660A of the pressing plate 660 comes into contact with the upper surface 700B of the game table 700, as shown in FIG.

The four rod members 670 are fixed upright on the pressing plate 660 on both sides of the substrate 552, and extend through the four through holes 511D and 511E formed in the horizontal surface 510A of the base member 510. It protrudes above the horizontal surface 510A.
Each spring 553 is sandwiched between the horizontal surface 510A of the base member 510 and the horizontal surface 660A of the pressing plate 660 while being arranged around each rod member 670 . Since the base member 510 is fixed to the upper frame 830 , each spring 553 exerts an urging force on the pressing plate 660 to press the pressing plate 660 downward.
The game table holding device 600 having the above structure is used as follows.
The method of using the game table holding device 600 according to this embodiment is basically the same as that of the game table holding device 500 according to the first embodiment.

In the game table holding device 600 according to this embodiment, the usage of the upper support unit 650 is the same as that of the trigger unit 550 in the first embodiment. That is, when the stopper 554 is engaged with the pin 556, the pressing plate 660 is positioned above the upper surface 700B of the game table 700, as shown in FIG. When the engagement between the stopper 554 and the pin 556 is released by rotating the stopper 554 counterclockwise about the through holes 551A and 554A, the pressing plate 660 is lowered by the biasing force of the spring 553, and As shown in 16, it contacts the upper surface 700B of the gaming table 700 and presses the gaming table 700 downward.
According to the game table holding device 600 of this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects of the game table holding device 500 of the first embodiment.

As described above, in the game table holding device 600, by rotating the stopper 554 counterclockwise about the through holes 551A and 554A, the engagement between the stopper 554 and the pin 556 is released, and the pressing plate is pressed. 660 descends due to the biasing force of spring 553, and as shown in FIG. 16, contacts upper surface 700B of game table 700 and presses game table 700 downward. That is, the upper support unit 650 operates.
As described above, according to the game table holding device 600 according to the present embodiment, the right side surface 700A and the upper surface 700B of the game table 700 are simultaneously held by the operation of the side support unit 520 and the upper support unit 650. Is possible.
The upper support unit 650 pushes the gaming table 700 downward by rotating the contact pad 533 from the first position (FIG. 16) to the second position (FIG. 15) (rotating in the S direction in FIG. 16). automatically released. It is not necessary to rotate stopper 554 to engage pin 556 . By simply rotating contact pad 533 from the first position to the second position, stopper 554 automatically engages pin 556 under the action of fourth link member 570 .
