As a result, waste small metal play pieces can be certainly disposed and effectively utilized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a method for disposing of small play objects for disposal, including discarded pachinko balls, and uses thereof.

Conventional technology When pachinko balls are used for a certain period of time, friction between the balls,
Pachinko balls that have become deformed, have a smaller diameter, or become scratched due to friction during cleaning or collisions with nails, etc., are subject to change in transfer behavior compared to new pachinko balls. This may change the repulsion behavior and affect the winning rate, and may also cause machine trouble in a series of automated devices.

Therefore, after a certain period of use, pachinko balls must be discarded and replaced with new ones. This also applies to discarded medals in coin games.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Discarded pachinko balls and medals are generally disposed of as scrap metal, but this does not mean that there is no risk that the discarded pachinko balls and medals may be reused in some way. If even a small number of pachinko balls and medals are reused, it is virtually impossible to select and eliminate them from among the large number of pachinko balls and medals.

Therefore, currently we have no choice but to place complete trust in the disposal route for pachinko balls and medals, but if each game parlor could reliably dispose of used pachinko balls and medals to the point where they cannot be reused, the concerns of one shop owner would be completely alleviated. This also reduces the number of man-hours required to check for discarded pachinko balls and medals.

One way to make pachinko balls and medals unusable is to use mechanical means to remove any scratches that are obvious at first glance. Because of these disadvantages, it is difficult to install it at each amusement arcade. Furthermore, although it is possible to make them unusable by damaging them with mechanical means, this does not lead to the effective use of waste pachinko balls and medals.

In view of this situation, the present invention has been made for the purpose of reliably disposing of discarded pachinko balls and medals, and of making effective use of the disposed of discarded balls and medals.

Means for Solving the Problems The method for disposing of small play objects for disposal of the present invention involves collecting small metal play objects for disposal at an amusement store, and using an inorganic or organic matrix material for the collected small play objects. The method consists of molding the small play object molded body into a small play object molded object, and using the obtained small play object molded object as a weight material.

The present invention will be explained in detail below.

Examples of small metal toys for disposal include waste balls from pachinko games (pachinko waste balls) and waste medals from coin games.

In the present invention, as a general rule, small metal play objects for disposal are collected at individual play shops (including a group of play shops with mutual trust, such as play shops under the same management, the same shall apply hereinafter), and the small play objects are As a general rule, processing is also carried out at each individual amusement arcade.

The collected small play objects are processed by molding them into small play object molded bodies using an inorganic or organic matrix material. Molding methods include, for example, a method in which a small play object is fed into a mold of an appropriate shape and brought into contact with an inorganic or organic matrix material. In this case, the molds include plastic mold, metal mold, concrete mold,
A wooden mold is an example, and the small play object may be something flexible like a bag.The small play object is mixed with the matrix material in a mixer, and then discharged as it is into the air or water, or the mold, mold, etc.
It may also be discharged and filled into containers, bags, etc.

If the small play objects are in direct contact with each other in the molded small play object, the strength of the molded object may be insufficient. Therefore, it is also preferable to mold the collected small play objects into single particles in advance using an inorganic or organic matrix material, and then further mold them into small play object molded bodies using an inorganic or *organic matrix material.

Examples of matrix materials include inorganic matrix materials such as mortar and plaster, organic matrices such as acrylic resins, epoxy resins, polyester resins, urethane resins, vinyl resins, urea resins, and phenol resins, and varnish materials.

In the case of an organic matrix material, it is preferable to use a solvent-free type or an aqueous type from the viewpoint of handling and safety.

Since a small play object molded body is obtained by the above operation, the obtained small play object molded object is used as a weight material. In this case, the small play object molded object is often used as a weight material with the mold attached, and the number of small play objects in one molded object may be one to several dozen or more. However, if there are too many, the weight will be excessive and transportation will be hindered, so the number should be set to an appropriate value, taking into account the purpose and transportability.

The obtained weight material made of the molded small play object or the molded small play object with mold is used, for example, to fill the inside of a concrete product to give weight to the product. In order to improve the adhesion between the weight material and the concrete, it is also desirable to modify the mold during molding so that the outer surface of the resulting small play object molded object or molded small play object molded object is formed into an uneven shape. .

A typical example of the above concrete products is wave-dissipating blow.

In particular, it is a multi-legged wave-dissipating block. If the above molded small play object or molded small play object with mold is used as a weight material for a wave-dampening block, it will be advantageous in terms of performance and cost compared to conventional wave-dampening blocks. If the molded small play object or the molded small play object with mold is unevenly distributed and filled in the wave-dissipating block (for example, two or three of the four legs of a four-legged wave-dissipating block are filled with ), it is possible to more reliably suppress transfers when used for purposes such as bank protection.

Other examples of concrete products include the bases of clothes-drying poles and display board supports, concrete blocks for buildings, roads, and parks, clay pipes, road rollers, garden stones, and various structures.

The weight material made of the above molded small play object or molded small play object is not limited to the concrete products exemplified above, but also blowers for gardening, weights for fisheries-related materials, weights for pickles, and weights for physical education training. It can be used as a variety of products such as tools, artificial stones, and hobby products, or as a weight material for manufacturing these products.

Effects of action and invention According to the method for disposing of small play objects for disposal according to the present invention.

Since small play objects for disposal can be disposed of at individual play shops,
Concerns about the reuse of discarded small play objects are completely eliminated, and the processed small play object molded bodies can be actively and effectively utilized.

When the obtained molded small play object is used as a weight material or a material for attaching weights to various products, the specific gravity of the product increases. Therefore, when this is used as a wave-dissipating block, for example, if it has the same volume as a conventional wave-dissipating blow 7, positional displacement due to relocation can be suppressed, and the purpose of the seawall can be more reliably achieved. If it has the same weight as a conventional wave-dissipating block, it can be made more compact.
