"Example" An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on one drawing.

Figures 1 to 5r2! I indicates an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, in particular, the game machine is applied to a pachinko machine.

The island in the game hall has an upper beam (kasagi) and a lower beam that extend horizontally, and the game table has an A21 on the lower beam.
1, and the frame upper plate 90 of the game machine is gripped by a fixing device from the rear and fixed to the upper beam l.

First, the base cap 3 of the fixing device is attached to the cap of the island so as to overlap it.

The base Kasagi 3 has two pairs of holes for passing the left and right main shafts 2, which are the bases of the fixing device, and the pair of main shafts 2 are pivotally connected by passing through these holes. .

It should be noted that the pair of main shafts 2 are attached with similar members, and are symmetrical.

The main shaft 2 has a male thread, and an angle adjustment dial l is attached around the main shaft 2.

Inside the base Kasagi 3, the back and forth movement member (Nara)-21
is non-rotatably screwed to the main shaft 2, and is capable of one forward and backward movement with respect to the main shaft 2.

An arm 43 and an arm 45 are inserted through the main shaft 2 at intervals, and one end of the arm 43 is rotatably attached to the nut 21. The other ends of the arm 43 and the arm 45 are connected to each other by the shaft 4.
Therefore, the arm 43 and the arm 45 can move forward and backward M!i!I together with the nut 21.

A gripping means is attached to the other ends of the arms 43 and 45, and the gripping means connecting the pair of arms is connected to the upper holder 5 and the frame 9, which are connection support members, and a pair of holding members. It has a lower holder 6 and a lock lever 7 which is a pressing member.

The upper holder 5 has a slot 51 extending along its length at one end, and is attached to the other ends of the arms 43 and 45 by a shaft 52 passed through the slot 51.

Therefore, the upper holder 5 is slidable and rotatable in a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the nut 21.

Due to this operation, even if there is an error in the height direction of the pachinko machine, the upper holder 5 always comes into contact with the top surface of the pachinko machine without strain.

The lower holder 6 is fixed to both ends of the upper holder 5 by a frame 9 and a shaft, and a spring 8 constantly applies downward force.

A lock lever 7 is rotatably provided on the frame 9 by a separate shaft, and serves as an eccentric cam 9.

In this way, the angle m! Although it is possible to move the upper holder 5 back and forth by operating the dial l, it is difficult to accurately confirm the moving position of the upper holder 5.

Therefore, windows 12 passing through the base cap 3 in the vertical direction are provided at left and right positions of the base cap 3, and an arm 11 is made to pop out from the window 12 of the base cap 3 as an instruction member extending from the upper holder 5.

By attaching a scale 13 in the front-rear direction near the edge of the window 13 on the upper surface of the base cap 3, accurate positioning can be performed by looking at the scale indicated by the arm 11.

Next, the action will be explained.

When installing a pachinko machine, push the frame of the pachinko machine between the upper holder 5 and the pair of r-section holders 6,
When the lock lever 7 is tilted backward and set at the lock lever 7a position, the lower holder 6 is fixed at the lower holder 6a position by the spring 8.

When the lock lever 7 is tilted forward and set to the lock lever 7b position, the cam portion 71 of the lock lever 7 pushes up the lower holder 6 and presses it toward the bar of the pachinko machine.

When the lower holder 6 is fixed at the position of the lower holder 6b, the claw attached to the lower holder 6 is inserted into the lower part of the upper wooden part of the frame of the pachinko machine, and the upper holder 5 and the lower holder 6a completely cover the upper part of the pachinko machine. You can hold the pachinko machine in place with one touch.

By rotating the main shaft 2 using the angle adjustment dial l attached to the main shaft 2, the upper holder 5, the lower holder 6, and the lock lever 7 are rotated through the arms 43 and 45 attached to the main shaft 2. The whole thing slides back and forth.

Thereby, the inclination angle of the pachinko machine fixed at this part can be adjusted.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, since the arms 43 and 45 rotate from the position 4a to the position 4b, the upper holder 5
It can freely move in the vertical direction from the position of the upper holder 5a shown in the figure to the position of the upper holder 5b.

Due to this operation, even if there is an error in the height direction of the pachinko machine, the upper holder 5 always comes into contact with the upper surface of the pachinko machine without strain.

Further, by reading the scale 13 on the top surface of the base cap 3 corresponding to the arm 11 protruding from the upper part of the base cap 3, accurate positioning can be achieved.

When removing the pachinko machine, by returning the lock lever 7 to the lock lever 7a position, the lower holder 6b returns to the lower holder 6a by the force of the splinter 8, and the pachinko machine can be easily removed.

In addition, the arm 11. for accurate positioning. Window 12, scale 1
3 may be omitted.

Furthermore, the angle adjustment dial l may also be omitted, eliminating the need for angle adjustment.

Conversely, the angle may be adjusted by providing only one of the pair of two dials 11t on the main shaft 2.

Also, to rotate the main shaft 2.

Instead of the dial l, a handle or other means may be used to adjust the angle with one touch.

Furthermore, the fixing device of the present invention may fix the pachinko machine on the lower side.
