Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a medal tray structure for a slot machine.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

The medal tray in the slot machine is provided in the lower part of the front face of the machine with an appropriate volume, but when a large amount of medals are paid out such as in the fever state, it may overflow unless it is taken out quickly from here. To improve this situation, increase the volume of the saucer,
Since this saucer is provided on the front surface of the machine as described above, if it is too large, it interferes with the game operation.

The present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and the purpose thereof is to make it possible to change the volume of the pan as necessary.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

That is, this invention is a medal tray for storing medals to be paid out from the medal payout opening of the slot machine. In this medal tray, the medal tray is fixed to the front of the machine, and in front of this fixed tray, the fixed tray The present invention provides a medal tray structure for a slot machine, which is composed of a movable tray that is connected so as to be pulled out.

[Action]

By taking the above means, the movable saucer is normally pushed in, and only when a large number of medals are paid out, the saucer volume can be changed according to the actual situation by pulling it out forward (front side). .

〔Example〕

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the slot machine, and there is a medal payout opening 3 that appears when the player wins a prize at the lower front part of the machine 2 having the operation display section 1 at the upper front part. A medal tray 4 is provided below the device 3.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a medal tray 4 according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view, showing a fixed tray 6 fixed to a front panel 5 and the like. The movable tray 7 is connected so that it can be pulled out. With this connection configuration, guide grooves 8 are formed at both upper ends of a bowl-shaped fixed saucer 6 having a concave center, and guide portions 9 to be fitted into the guide grooves 8 are provided at corresponding portions of the movable saucer 7. It is formed (the shape of the movable saucer 7 matches the shape of the fixed saucer 6). As a result, the movable saucer 7
Can slide back and forth with respect to the fixed saucer 6, but at this time, the moving stroke of the movable saucer 7 is determined,
In addition, in order to prevent prying when moving, a guide hole 10 that opens to the front is formed in the lower surface of the fixed saucer 6, and the bottom of the movable saucer 7 corresponds (the bottom of the movable saucer 7 is above the bottom of the fixed saucer 6). A pin 11 that fits into the guide hole 10 is provided in a protruding manner. Furthermore, since the movable saucer 7 will slip out in front of the fixed saucer 6 with this state,
The stopper 12 is fixed to the guide hole 10 in front of the pin 11 with a screw 13 or the like. As a result, the movable tray 7 can move back and forth over the depth of the guide hole 10 with respect to the pin 11 and the range where the stopper 12 exists. In addition,
The front surface of the bottom of the movable tray 7 is tapered as shown in FIG. 2 so that it can move smoothly even in the presence of medals or the like. Further, since there is some resistance to the movement of the movable tray 7, if the movable tray 7 is stopped at any position on the fixed tray 6, it will be fixed at that position.

By the way, the above explanation is for the medal tray 4 of the slot machine.
However, it goes without saying that the present invention is similarly applied to a pachinko ball saucer of a pachinko machine.

[Effect of device]

As described above, since the present invention has been described above, the following effects can be expected.

i) If the movable tray 7 is pulled out forward with respect to the fixed tray 6, the tray volume can be increased, so that the medal accommodating capacity is increased when a large number of medals such as fever are paid out. Then, at this time, the medal jumps out vigorously from the medal payout opening 3, and if it is normal, it jumps over and drops downward, but if the movable saucer 7 is pulled forward, such a situation does not occur. .

ii) On the other hand, when it is not, the movable tray 7 can be pushed into the main body 2 side, so the front space becomes wide,
It does not interfere with play operations.

iii) This also means that the volume of the medal tray 4 can be made smaller than that of the conventional one, so that there is also an advantage that the operation space on the front side can be made wider than ever.
