Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] An object of the present invention is to provide a product storage container that can be hoisted by a crane having two hooks when used in a hoisting game machine. [Constitution] The container body 1 has two semi-spherical shells 11 and 12 made of a transparent material, which are joined together to form a substantially spherical product storage portion, and a plurality of holes 2 or The concave portion 3 is formed in a diagonal position.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a product storage container used in a game machine or a vending machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a ball-shaped or cocoon-shaped transparent hollow container is used in a hanging game machine or a vending machine to store a product of a specific size.

The transparent hollow container described above is formed by molding a transparent synthetic resin so that there are no holes or irregularities on the surface of the container. Therefore, it is suitable for an apparatus having a predetermined delivery mechanism such as a vending machine. Although it is convenient for a hoisting game machine, even if you try to hoist it, it tends to slip off the hook, especially with a hoisting game machine that uses a crane with only two hooks It had a defect that the property was impaired.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a container that can be lifted by a crane having only two hooks when used in a lifting game machine.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The product storage container of the present invention has the following requirements. That is, (a) The container body should be composed of two hemispherical shells made of transparent material and should form a substantially spherical product storage part. (B) A plurality of holes or recesses are formed on the outer surface of the main body.

Another product storage container according to the present invention has the following requirements. That is, (a) The container body is formed by combining two hemispherical shells made of a transparent material to form a substantially spherical product container. (B) A plurality of holes or recesses are formed at least diagonally on the outer surface of the main body.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the above structure, since the spherical storage portion is formed in the main body, the product can be stored in the storage portion, and the contents of the product can be seen through the main body made of the transparent material.

The above-mentioned product storage container is stored in the hoisting game machine, and when the game player operates the crane to hoist the required product storage container, the crane in the product discharge position is moved in the front and rear direction and the lateral direction in the initial state. Then, when the crane is moved to the upper part of the specified container and then the hoisting operation is performed, the hook in the opened state comes down, and after the hook is closed at the position where the hook contacts the container, the hook automatically closes. Is pulled up to return to the original product ejection position and the hook is opened.

Here, even when the crane has two hooks, the hooks may be formed in a plurality of holes or recesses formed in the outer surface of the product storage container, or at least in a plurality of holes or recesses at diagonal positions. Can be given the opportunity to engage. This makes it easy to lift the product.

[0010]

【Example】

 1 is a main body of a product storage container, and the main body 1 is a hemispherical body 11 formed by molding a transparent synthetic resin. 12 is formed into a hollow spherical shape by being integrated with each other. Required products such as stuffed animals and small toys are stored in the spherical storage portion of the main body 1. In the molding of the main body 1, a hole 2a is provided in the center of the curved surface of the body 11, and a recess 2b is provided in the body 12 at a position facing the hole 2a.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment, in which a plurality of recesses 3 are formed on the outer surfaces of the containers 11 and 12 of the main body 1, and the recesses 3a and 3b forming a pair are mutually formed. They are formed in symmetrical positions with the center of the main body 1 sandwiched therebetween.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which a plurality of long grooves 4 are formed on the outer surfaces of the bodies 11 and 12 of the main body 1, and the long grooves 4a and 4b forming a pair are mutually formed. They are formed in symmetrical positions with the center of the main body 1 sandwiched therebetween.

According to the above-described embodiment, the product is stored in the main body 1 of the product storage container and is stored in the hanging game machine. Therefore, when the game player performs a lifting operation, the crane A is moved to the upper part of the main body 1 of a predetermined product storage container as shown in FIG. After the hook a is closed at the position where a contacts the main body 1, the hook a is automatically pulled up to return to the initial position of the product discharge position and the hook a is opened.

In the case where the crane A has two hooks a, a plurality of holes 2a or recesses 2b or long grooves 4 formed on the outer surface of the main body 1 of the product storage container are formed. If the position of the crane is appropriate, the claws of the hook a may be caught in the hole 2a or the concave portion 2b, or the long groove 4, and can be lifted so as to be clamped from both sides thereof. This makes it easier to lift the product.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the product storage container of the present invention, since the main body is formed of the transparent material, the product can be stored in the main body and stored in the lifting game machine or the like. In this case, when the game player operates the crane and then lifts it, the hook in the opened state comes down, and the hook is closed at the position where the hook comes into contact with the container, and then the hook is automatically pulled up. Even if the crane has only two hooks, there are multiple holes or recesses on the entire outer surface of the product storage container, or at least multiple diagonal holes or recesses. You can give them the opportunity to engage. This can facilitate the lifting of the product.
