Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a premium theft prevention device for a premium payout game machine, and in particular, only when the premium capturing unit that captures the premium is above the premium receiver, the premium receiver lid is opened to prevent the premium from being stolen. It relates to new improvements to prevent.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a premium theft prevention device for a prize payout game machine of this type that has been conventionally used, in general, a lid is provided at the prize outlet so as to open in one direction but not in the opposite direction. Or, the distance from the premium outlet to the outlet was lengthened to prevent access from the outside.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the conventional prize anti-theft device for a prize payout game machine is configured as described above, there are the following problems.That is, if the game machine body is tilted and rocked, it will be a prize outlet. The prizes came in, I could easily get the prizes, and the prizes were stolen one after another.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and in particular, the lid of the prize receiver is opened only when the prize capturing section capturing the prize comes above the prize receiver. The object is to provide a premium theft prevention device for a premium payout game machine, which is designed to prevent the theft of premiums.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The prize anti-theft device for a prize payout game machine according to the present invention is arranged such that a prize catching part for catching a prize is located on a substantially cylindrical prize receiver, and the prize is dropped into the prize receiver. In a prize payout game machine, an openable / closable lid provided on an upper portion of the prize receiver, an operating body provided on an upper portion of the prize receiving body, and a protrusion provided at all times by a spring bias provided on the operating body. And a position sensor for detecting that the prize capturing section is located above the prize receiving body, and the actuating body is activated by a signal from the position sensor.

[0006] More specifically, the actuating portion is configured by a solenoid.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the prize theft prevention device for a prize payout game machine according to the present invention, when the prize trap is located above the prize receiver, the position sensor detects it and activates the actuating unit in response to a signal from the position sensor. By providing a spring-biased protrusion inside the operating part, the lid opens, and the dropped prize is taken out through the prize receiver. Further, in a state where the prize capturing section is not located on the prize receiving body, since the protrusion is located under the lid, the lid can be kept closed without being opened. Thus, it is impossible to steal the prize even when the prize payout game machine is tilted.

[0008]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a premium theft prevention device for a premium payout game machine according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a prize payout game machine according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the reference numeral 1 is a prize capturing section configured to be movable in two axial directions by an XY drive mechanism 3 of the prize paying-out game machine 2. The chuck section 4 of the prize capturing section 1 is shown. Freebie 5 has been captured.

At a position below the prize catching section 1 (the state in which the prize catching section 1 catches the prize and reaches the take-out position in FIG. 1), a prize receiving body 6 having a substantially cylindrical shape is disposed. A lid 9 having a shaft 8 rotatably provided in a shaft hole 7 is provided on the top of the prize receiver 6.

A weight 10 is provided at a rear portion of the lid 9, and an upper surface 9 ba of a front portion 9 b of the lid 9 is rotated upward by a locking portion 10 formed on an upper portion of the prize receiver 6. It is configured to not slip. On the back surface 9bb of the lid 9, the front portion 9b is prevented from rotating downward by the protruding portion 11 provided at the upper portion of the prize receiving body 6 so as to be retractable below the locking portion 10. It is configured.

The protrusion 11 is provided on the actuating body 12 made of solenoid or the like provided on the outer wall 6 a on the upper part of the prize receiver 6, and the protrusion 11 always protrudes via the spring 13. The lid 9 is held so as not to rotate by the projection 11 and the engaging portion 10.

A position sensor 20 for detecting that the prize capturing section 1 is located above the prize receiver 6 is provided on the top of the prize receiver 6. From this position sensor 20, Signal 20a is input to the driving device 21, and the actuating body 12 is actuated (turned on) by the driving signal 21a from the driving device 21 so that the protrusion 11 is provided. The position sensor 20 can be provided not only on the prize receiver 6 but also on another place.

Next, in the above-mentioned configuration, it is known that the prize capturing unit 1 is located above the prize receiver 6 by the XY driving mechanism 3 (a known configuration using light, infrared rays, magnetism, etc.). When the position signal 20a is input to the drive device 21, the drive signal 21a generated by the position signal 20a is sent to the actuating body 12. When the actuating body 12 is actuated (turned on) by this drive signal 21a, the protrusion 11 is provided inside the actuating body 12 against the spring force of the spring 13, and the lid 9 is attached to the front portion regardless of the weight of the weight 10. 9b rotates downward, and the prize receiver 6 is opened.

In the above-mentioned state, when the chuck portion 4 of the prize capturing section 1 is opened, the prize 5 falls into the prize receiver 6 and the user can take out the prize 5 by hand. On the other hand, when the prize capturing section 1 is not located above the prize receiving body 6, the actuating body 12 does not operate, so that the locking portion 10 of the front portion 9b of the lid 9 is sandwiched by the protrusions 11. Even if the game machine 2 is tilted and the prize 5 is placed on the lid 9, the prize 5 cannot enter the prize receiver 6 and is prevented from being stolen. can do. The position sensor 20 is not limited to the structure shown in FIG. 1, and for example, a dog (not shown) provided in the prize capturing section 1 is detected by a photo sensor (not shown) of the XY drive mechanism 3. It can also be configured.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 Since the prize theft prevention device for the prize payout game machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to open the lid only when the prize trap is located above the prize receiver, and the prize trap can be captured. It is possible to prevent the prize from being stolen except when.
