[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a gaming island table in which a plurality of gaming machines are arranged in a row, there is, for example, a pachinko island table in which pachinko machines as gaming machines are arranged in a row. The pachinko island stand forms a box-shaped frame by a plurality of pillars and beams, and a plate material or the like is attached to the frame to form a frame structure of the pachinko island stand.

The pachinko island stand is provided on the front and rear surfaces of the frame structure with a waist plate covering a lower portion of the pachinko island stand, a pachinko machine as a gaming machine arranged in line on the waist plate, and an adjoining pachinko machine. And a curtain plate that covers the upper part of the pachinko island stand.

[0004] A large number of collecting gutters are provided inside the waistboard below the pachinko machine of the pachinko island stand constructed as described above.
A driving source of the lifting device, various control boards, various devices such as a counter, wiring, and the like are stored.

[0005]

There is no problem with each member accommodated in such a waist plate when the respective functions are working properly. However, for example, the collecting gutter may be clogged, a counter, etc. However, if a malfunction occurs due to a failure in the electric system, it is necessary to open the waist plate for inspection and repair.

However, the conventional waistboard cannot be easily removed because it is fixed with a nail, and the pachinko machine of the pachinko island stand used for this inspection and repair work must be stopped for a long time. Become.

[0007] Further, even if the waist plate is scratched, stained or damaged, it must be used as it is until it can be replaced, thus deteriorating the aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, even if the inside of the store is renovated at the amusement arcade, there is a problem that the remodeling takes a lot of man-hours and cannot respond immediately.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and it is possible to easily perform inspection, maintenance, repair, and the like of various devices housed inside the decorative plate, and to improve the store interior. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game island stand in which the decoration plate can be easily replaced at the time and the number of remodeling work steps can be reduced.

[0009]

A game island stand according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a game island stand on which a plurality of gaming machines are arranged, the game island stand being installed on the game island stand. A lower decorative plate is provided on the lower front of the machine so as to be detachable from the gaming island stand. According to this feature, the lower decorative plate on the lower front of the gaming machine is provided detachably from the gaming island stand, so that inspection and repair of various devices housed inside the lower decorative plate become easy, The replacement work of the lower decorative plate at the time of renovation in the store can be easily performed.

In the game island stand of the present invention, a mounting portion for mounting a lower decorative plate to the game island stand may be provided, and the lower decorative plate may be locked to the mounting portion via a locking member. preferable. By doing so, the lower decorative plate is locked to the mounting portion via the locking member, so that the lower decorative plate can be easily attached and detached without using a tool.

[0011] In the game island stand of the present invention, it is preferable that the locking member can obtain a locked state and a non-locked state by an external operation. By doing this,
Since the locking member can obtain the locked state and the non-locked state by an operation from the outside, the attaching and detaching operation of the lower decorative plate can be easily performed.

[0012] In the game island stand according to the present invention, the lower decorative plate includes:
It is formed in a box shape with an opening on its bottom,
The game island stand has a detachable protrusion in the opening, and the lower decorative plate and the game island stand, in addition to the engagement by the mounting portion and the locking member, the opening and the protrusion. Is preferably obtained. By doing so, the locking member can be unlocked from the outside, and the lower decorative plate can be easily removed by pulling it upward, and the mounting can be easily performed by the reverse operation.

In the game island stand according to the present invention, it is preferable that the control board for controlling the equipment provided on the game island stand is provided at a position covered by a lower decorative plate of the game island stand. By doing so, maintenance of the control board can be easily performed by removing the lower decorative plate.

As described above, by providing a large number of dedicated holes, it is easy to position the ball lending machine, the pachinko ball collection tank, the supply gutter, the collection gutter, and the like, and it is easy to mount such various devices and members. As a result, the number of assembly steps can be significantly reduced.

Next, the structure of the waist plate will be described. FIG.
Shows a partial perspective view of the waist plate, and FIG. 11 shows a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. The waist plate 123 is provided detachably from a lower front surface of the pachinko machine 2 as a gaming machine installed on the pachinko island stand 1 which is a gaming island stand.

More specifically, the waist plate 123 is provided with the island front support plate 97.
a mounting member 12 of the waist plate 123
4 is locked. As shown in FIG. 3, two locking members 124 are rotatably supported on the upper part of the waist plate 123, and are operated through a locking knob 126 protruding from the front surface through an opening 125 shown in FIG. A key-shaped locking piece 127 which communicates with the back of the waist plate 123 and is integrated with the locking knob 126.
Can be rotated.

On the other hand, the island front supporting plate 97a is provided with two engaging members 57 which are bent in an L-shape in the lateral direction through screw holes 87 (FIG. 7) for mounting the waist plate fixing bracket. It is attached corresponding to the member 124.

The locking member 124 obtains a locked state and a non-locked state indicated by phantom lines in FIG. 10 by an external operation, and when the locking knob 126 is rotated in the direction of the arrow, a key-shaped locking member is formed. The locking piece 127 is locked by the engaging member 57, and the waist plate 123 is locked.

The waist plate 123 is formed in a box shape with its peripheral edge bent inward, and has two openings 12 at its bottom surface.
8 are formed on the lower frame 99c of the frame W, and the two protrusions 12 are directed upward to correspond to the two openings 128.
9 are protruded.

With this configuration, the waist plate 12
3 is positioned and held by locking the opening 128 to the projection 129, and then can be securely attached by rotating the locking knob 126 in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow. When removing the waist plate 123, an operation reverse to the mounting operation may be performed.

FIG. 1 shows the front of the island front support plate 97a.
