Description

[Technical Field] The present invention relates to a mounting structure of an operation portion capable of detachably attaching an operation portion to a table box of a table-type video game machine.

[Background technology]

In the table-type video game machine, since the form and design of the operation unit differ depending on the game content, there is a demand to replace only that member.

Further, since the operating section is frequently used, a switch or the like provided on the operating section may fail, and it may be desired to see the wiring or the like from the back side of the operating section.

As a conventional technique, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-142097
In the publication, "an operation panel for a video game machine, a first frame fixed to a machine frame of the video game machine, and a box-like shape for accommodating a part of the control unit together with the first frame A body-forming second frame and a first frame which is applied to the top of both frames to releasably secure the second frame to the first frame and which is operable to be released behind the first frame. And a second fixing means which is applied to the lower portions of both frames for releasably fixing the second frame to the first frame and which can be released only after the releasing operation of the first fixing means. The second fixing means includes a male body having a shaft portion that extends in the horizontal direction parallel to the first and second frames, and the shaft portion is rotatable about its central axis. Have a hole to accept That a female member, one of the male body and the female body is provided in said first frame,
The other is an operation panel provided on the second frame ".

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, the second fixing means is
When inserting the male body into the female body, it is necessary to move the second frame in the horizontal direction (transverse direction) in parallel with the first frame.

In this case, since the first frame is provided with the side plate portions on both sides, the state where the side plate portion is avoided, that is, the second frame
The frame of must be inserted upside down. Specifically, the second fixing means is fixed by holding the second frame upside down and inserting the male body to the female body while moving the male body in the lateral direction. Therefore, there is a problem in that it takes time to attach the second frame to the first frame.

Further, since the first frame must be combined with the second frame of the other game content, it is necessary to keep the mounting accuracy of the female body and the male body with high accuracy. Therefore, the second fixing means is provided with at least two sets of a female body and a male body, and the mounting accuracy is poor at the time of manufacturing,
If the male body is bent during transportation or handling, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to insert it.

Further, such a structure has a problem that it is easily deformed and has low strength although the structure is complicated and expensive.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for an operation section in a table-type video game machine which can be easily attached and detached, has a simple and robust structure, and can be manufactured at low cost.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is configured as follows. In addition, in order to facilitate understanding, the description will be given with the reference numerals corresponding to the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

That is, the mounting structure of the operation portion in the table-type video game machine according to the present invention is the operation in the table-type video game machine which is attached to both or one of the front side and the rear side of the table box (1) and performs an operation in response to the game content. In the mounting structure of the portion, an inverted U-shaped groove portion (21e, 21f), which is composed of a bottom plate attached to the table box and left and right side plates provided on both sides of the bottom plate, and opens downward on the front side of the bottom plate. And a control box support (2) which is formed in a part of the inverted U-shaped groove part of which is removed and has an engaging wall (21d) protruding upward, and a box is formed together with the control box support. An upper plate having an operation portion corresponding to the above and a front plate connected to the upper plate, and the reverse U is formed on the bottom side of the front plate. Shape grooves that engage U-shaped grooves (32
h) and a tongue-shaped piece (32i) that engages with the engagement wall, and first and second key holders that are formed on the rear side of the upper plate and penetrate through the opening (1b) of the table box. Control box (3) with parts (32e, 32f)
And a first and second key portion (41e, 42e) provided inside the table box and engaging with the first and second key receiving portions of the control box, and each of the key portions is It comprises a biasing member (45) which biases each to the left and right outside and couples with each of the key receiving portions, and an attachment / detachment mechanism (4) which has a photographing portion (41d, 42d) provided on the center side to release the coupling. Has been done.

[Action]

According to the present invention, the control box is inserted from the front side of the control box support, and the inverted U-shaped groove and U
And the engaging wall and the tongue are engaged, respectively.

In this state, rotate the control box upward, take a picture of the shooting part, resist the urging force of the urging member,
The first and second key receiving portions are passed through the opening of the table box while moving the key portion in the releasing direction. Then, when the photographing section is released, it is biased by the biasing member and the first and second key receiving sections and the first and second key sections are coupled and locked. Therefore, the control box can be attached by a simple operation.

On the other hand, if the reverse operation is performed, the control box can be easily removed.
