Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a pachinko machine angle inspection gauge for inspecting and confirming whether or not the pachinko machine is fixed at a predetermined inclination angle when the pachinko machine is installed.

B. Conventional technology Conventionally, when installing a pachinko machine, a thread with a weight attached to it is hung from the upper edge of the pachinko machine, assuming a vertical axis, and the distance from the vertical axis to the lower edge of the pachinko machine is measured using a scale. The pachinko machine installer relied on his own experience and intuition to perform the angle inspection using primitive means such as determining the angle of inclination of the pachinko machine.

C. Problems to be solved by the invention The conventional angle inspection means for pachinko machines requires separate preparation of a thread with a weight attached and a scale.
Furthermore, even the slightest contact can cause the string to sway, making measurements inaccurate, and most of the work is left to the technical ability of the installer, so it is impossible to install all pachinko machines at the same slope. It is even said that

D. Means for solving the problem The pachinko machine angle inspection gauge according to the present invention is
The inclination angle of a pachinko machine, which had previously been measured by using tedious methods and relying on intuition, can now be measured accurately using a simple method.
One longitudinal side of the vertically long gauge bar is used as a pressing surface, and a pair of abutting members are provided to protrude from the pressing surface with an interval above and below, and at least one of the abutting members can be stretched by the amount of protrusion. an angle meter for checking the perpendicularity of the gauge bar, and a handle for pressing and supporting the pressing surface side of the gauge bar against the pachinko machine mounting frame on the opposite surface of the pressing surface of the gauge bar. be.

E. Function The pachinko machine angle inspection gauge of the present invention allows the verticality of the gauge bar to be checked using the angle meter by grasping the handle with one hand and pressing the pressing surface side of the gauge bar against the pachinko machine mounting frame. Furthermore, the angle of the pachinko machine itself can be calculated from the verticality of the gauge bar and the amount of protrusion of the abutting member.

Example Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows an angle inspection gauge 1 for a pachinko machine according to the present invention.A vertically long gauge bar 2 made of aluminum and having a U-shaped cross section and a length of 50 cm has a gauge bar 2 on the back side for checking its vertical position. An analog angle meter 3 is fixed with bolts (not shown) with its zero point display facing upward. This analog angle meter 3 has a protractor-shaped dial within an L-shaped frame, and a pointer with a weight attached to the base end is rotatably supported around the arcuate center point of the dial. The tip of the pointer always points directly upwards. Further, a handle 4 formed by bending a steel pipe into a U-shape is attached to the gauge bar 2 below the angle meter 3. Furthermore, a catch seat (not shown) provided with a female thread is fixed to the lower part, and a bolt 5, which is an abutting member, is glued to the bottom of the catch seat with a protruding length of 2 cm. They are fixed by applying an agent and screwing them together.

On the other hand, above the angle meter 3 attachment part of the gauge bar 2, there is a bolt 6 that is the other abutting member.
However, in order to make the amount of protrusion of the head 6a variable, a bolt insertion hole slightly larger than the diameter of the bolt 6 is provided in the gauge bar 2, and with the gauge bar 2 sandwiched coaxially with the bolt insertion hole, the bolt 6 is inserted. A receiving seat (not shown) provided with a corresponding female screw 7 and a nut member 8 are each fixedly attached.

A bolt 6 is screwed together so as to pass through the receiving seat and the nut member 8, and the amount of protrusion of the head 6a can be changed depending on the screwing distance of the bolt 6.

Further, as shown in the second figure, the amount of protrusion can be accurately determined even by minute distances by counting the finely chopped screw threads 9.

There are two ways to measure the inclination angle of the pachinko machine P using the angle inspection gauge 1 formed in this way. 2cm in the example)
Then, the user grasps the handle 4, brings the angle inspection gauge 1 into contact with the frame of the pachinko machine P, and reads the pointer of the angle meter 3. In this way, the inclination angle of the pachinko machine P can be measured with one touch. Another method is to adjust the head relative to the head 5a so that when the pachinko machine P has a desired inclination angle, when the angle inspection gauge 1 is brought into contact with the frame of the pachinko machine P, the pointer of the angle meter 3 points to the zero point. The amount of protrusion of the pachinko machine 6a is determined by turning the bolt 6, and when the pointer points to the zero point, it is confirmed that the pachinko machine P is installed at the desired inclination angle. In the former case, the angle of the pachinko machine P can be directly read, which is advantageous for newly setting a pachinko machine; in the latter case, when the pointer points to the zero point, the pachinko machine P is the desired one. Since it is installed at an inclined angle,
It is used to inspect the inclination angle of existing pachinko machines.

Next, a modified example of the abutting member that allows the amount of protrusion to be changed is shown in FIG. 4 and subsequent figures.

Here, since the configuration other than this contact member is the same as that of the above embodiment, the explanation thereof will be omitted. The abutment member that allows the protrusion distance to be changed is prevented from rotating by the scale frame 12 by transmitting the rotation of the bolt 10 to another bolt 11 whose thread pitch is doubled, and is slid in the axial direction. The nut member 13, which is a possible pointer, is moved twice as far as the bolt 10 to make the scale easier to read and to provide high accuracy (as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6). When the bolt 10 is rotated, the amount of protrusion can be accurately determined by reading the scale carved on the scale frame that matches the pointer provided on the nut member 13.
At the same time, by preparing a conversion table between the scale and the scale of the angle meter, you can adjust the inclination of the pachinko machine by simply pressing it against the frame of the pachinko machine, selecting and using both the angle meter and the scale frame as appropriate. The angle can be inspected more accurately and conveniently.

Although the thread pitch of the bolt 11 is set to double here, the magnification may be changed as appropriate, and a digital angle meter may be used.

Furthermore, although the abutment member whose protrusion distance is adjustable is disposed above the gauge bar here, the lower abutment member may be configured to be adjustable, or both sides may be adjustable.

Effects The pachinko machine angle inspection gauge of the present invention has a simple configuration of an angle meter, a gauge bar, a contact member, and a handle, so that it can measure the inclination angle of a large number of pachinko machines in a short time without requiring special technology. It is possible to adjust everything to the best condition, and the practical benefits are enormous.
