Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable to easily set game machine intervals without requiring special technique. SOLUTION: Pillow plates 18 are fixed in prescribed intervals on a floor adjusting levels. Then, rails 20 are fixed bridged over and engaged with guide plates 22 to enable a mounting frame 26 to move on rails 20. Bolts 38 are screwed into bolt holes to fasten the guide plate 22 to a rail 20 to fix the mounting frame 26. Thereby, the layout of a Pachinko machine 10 can be freely set by only moving the mounting frame 26. The assembling accuracy is improved by mass-producing the mounting frame 26 at a plant and, further, the reduction of manufacturing cost can be achieved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an island structure of a game arcade to which a gaming machine is attached.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a game arcade 16 is provided with a plurality of islands 14 on which a pachinko machine 10 and a ball rental machine 12 are set.

Conventionally, the dimensions of gaming machines and ball rental machines and the spacing between gaming machines have been standardized to some extent, and in many cases, a standard island design has been possible.

However, in recent years, the number of cases in which the arrangement intervals of the gaming machines are set according to the preference of the store has been increasing, and it has become impossible to cope with standard islands. For this reason,
Specialists, such as carpenters, make the island each time based on the design of the shop side, which increases labor and cost.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to make it possible to easily set an arrangement interval of a gaming machine without requiring specialized skills.

[0006]

According to the present invention, rails are level-adjusted and laid on the floor of a game arcade. A frame unit to which the gaming machine can be attached slides on the rail. For this reason, the arrangement intervals of the gaming machines can be freely set,
In addition, by mass-producing the frame units at the factory, the assembling accuracy is improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

On the other hand, after moving the frame unit to a predetermined position, the frame unit may be fixed to the rail by fixing means.
The assembly work is simplified, and the island can be built in a short time.

[0008]

1 and 2 show the island structure of a game arcade according to the present embodiment.

A pillow plate 18 is fixed at a predetermined interval to the floor F of the game arcade. The pillow plates 18 are prepared in various thicknesses, and the level is adjusted by laying the pillow plates 18 having different thicknesses.

As described above, two rails 20 are laid in parallel on the pillow plate 18 whose level has been adjusted. The rail 20 has an inverted T-shape in cross section, and a U-shaped guide plate 22 is slidably engaged with the upright wall 20A. This allows the guide plate 22 to slide along the rail 20.

A support plate 24 is hung over the guide plate 22, and the mounting frame 2 is mounted on the support plate 24.
The lower part of 6 is fixed. The mounting frame 26 is formed with a receiving stand 28 on which an ashtray or a box for dispensing balls is placed. Further, in the center, a horizontal member 30 and a vertical member 3
2, the frame frame 34 on which the pachinko machine 10 is set
Is configured.

On the other hand, a bolt hole 36 is formed in the outer side surface of the guide plate 22 so that the mounting frame 26 can be fixed at an arbitrary position by the bolt 38.

Next, a method of constructing an island of a game arcade will be described.
First, the pillow plate 18 is fixed at a predetermined interval while adjusting the level on the floor F. Next, the rail 20 is hung and fixed, and the guide plate 22 is engaged with the upright wall 20A of the rail 20 so that the mounting frame 26 can move on the rail 20 in the direction of arrow A.

Here, the mounting frame 2 is set at the set position.
6 and screw the bolt 38 into the bolt hole 36,
The guide plate 22 is fastened to the rail 20 to fix the mounting frame 26. Next, a tank (not shown) for storing pachinko balls is disposed below the frame 34 to form a transport path for sending the balls flowing down from the pachinko machine or the like to the polishing apparatus.

Next, the pachinko machine 10 is attached to the mounting frame 26.
The ball lending machine 12 and the polishing device are assembled between the mounting frames 26. Furthermore, mounting frame 2
Attach a display lamp and a decorative plate 40 to the upper part of 6 to complete the island (see FIG. 3).

As described above, in this embodiment, the mounting frame 2
By simply moving 6, the layout of the pachinko machine 10 can be freely adjusted.

In this embodiment, a pachinko machine has been described as an example, but a so-called pachislot machine can also be assembled. Further, as a mechanism for sliding the mounting frame, the traveling wheel may be run on the rail and fixed at a predetermined position.

[0018]

As described above, the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and therefore requires no special skill and can easily set the arrangement intervals of the gaming machines.
Further, by mass-producing the frame units, it is possible to reduce costs.
