DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine provided with an ashtray for a smoker in front of the game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pachinko game machine, which is a kind of a game machine, is provided with a hitting ball supply tray and a receiving tray located below the hitting supply tray for storing excess balls from the hitting ball supply tray. Has an ashtray receiving recess on one side thereof, and an ashtray for a player who smokes is stored in the ashtray receiving recess.

By the way, recently, while the harm of cigarettes is shouting,
The number of non-smokers and non-smokers is also increasing among players. In contrast, each pachinko machine installed on the island stand of a general pachinko hall is provided with an ashtray that can be used at all times.For example, if a smoker and a non-smoker are next to each other, smoking However, the nose of a non-smoker was disturbed, and the non-smoker could not enjoy the game comfortably because of the discomfort, and this was a worrisome situation that this had a negative effect on the pachinko hall service. Therefore, pachinko halls have emerged in which pachinko machines are provided with smoking cessation corners on islands, or smoke-free facilities are provided throughout the building, and special smoking areas are provided for smokers.

[0004] However, in the pachinko halls, pachinko gaming machines for smokers, such as smoking cessation corners, are provided with unnecessary ashtrays. There is a risk of playing the game. If possible, the ashtray may be eliminated, and a tray that makes effective use of the vacant space may be manufactured. The problem remains that not only the mold cost increases but also the product management becomes complicated.

In consideration of these circumstances, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 131635, there has been invented a pachinko gaming machine which can easily convert an ashtray provided in a pachinko gaming machine between a usable state and an unusable state. The pachinko gaming machine is provided with a hit ball supply tray for supplying pachinko balls to a hit ball launching unit and a receiving tray for storing pachinko balls overflowing from the hit ball supplying plate on upper and lower portions of a front surface thereof.
An ashtray accommodating recess is provided on one side of the receiving tray, and an ashtray is accommodated in the ashtray accommodating recess.

More specifically, the ashtray is pivotally supported on both left and right sides and is provided so as to be rotatable forward. The ashtray concave portion for receiving the ashes of cigarettes is open upward, and the ashtray concave portion is directed downward. The ashtray that has been opened to the unusable state can be held and fixed together. In addition, the bottom of the ashtray is provided with a container receiving recess on which a paper cup for beverage can be placed, and when the ashtray is rotated to convert the ashtray into an unusable state, a paper cup etc. is added to add value. Beverage containers can be placed.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned pachinko game machine, the ashtray is rotated to convert the ashtray into an unusable state in which the ashtray is opened downward, and the beverage container is placed in the container receiving recess on the bottom surface. When placing, the pivots on both sides of the ashtray are almost at the mid-height position, and since the bottom surface is flush with the upper surface of the saucer, the space between the momentum container receiving recess and the hitting ball supply tray mounted above it becomes narrower, If the beverage container is high in height, the upper edge of the container hits the hitting plate and cannot be placed in the container receiving recess. May be uncomfortable. In addition, since the beverage container placed on the upper surface of the container receiving concave portion is not supported at all, there is a possibility that the user may inadvertently touch the beverage container and fall down so that the content becomes zero, so that the user is not absorbed in the game.

For this reason, it is conceivable to narrow one side of the hitting ball supply tray, that is, a portion corresponding to an upper portion of the container receiving concave portion so that the beverage container does not hit the pachinko ball. As the volume of the storage section is reduced, the number of stored pachinko balls is also reduced, which is not only unfavorable for the game, but also restricts the appearance shape for supplying the hit ball, so that the player gets a lot of attention. It will be impossible to design freely with renewal. Therefore,
As another means, it is conceivable that the pivots on both sides of the ashtray are located at the bottom, and when the ashtray is rotated, the bottom surface is located below the upper surface of the ashtray, but the ashtray protrudes downward from the ashtray by that much. Become. In this state, for example, when arranging a ball box for removing a ball of pachinko balls stored in a saucer, the ball box hits an ashtray and may not be placed at a desired position.

In addition, the ashtray is rotatably accommodated in the ashtray accommodating recess of the ashtray, so that when the ashtray is rotated to make the ashtray unusable, the appearance of the entire ashtray is not impaired. To make the bottom of the ashtray flush with the top of the saucer,
Moreover, since it is necessary to prevent an extra gap from being formed between the ashtray and the ashtray accommodating recess, the external shape of the tray is inevitably restricted, and the design of the tray cannot be freely designed as described above. .

[0010] Even if the ashtray and the saucer are separated,
The problem when the beverage container is placed, the problem in designing the hitting ball supply tray, and the like are not solved, and the problem in designing the ashtray also remains.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve many of these problems, and can be freely changed between an ashtray usable state and an ashtray unusable state, and by moving the ashtray from the ashtray accommodating recess. The bottom upper surface of the ashtray accommodating recess can be used as a mounting table for placing a beverage container, etc., and there is no risk of inadvertently falling over and emptying the contents. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine which can be operated.

[0012]

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the present invention is provided with a saucer for storing game balls, coins and the like in front of the gaming machine, and a bottomed ashtray attached to the saucer. An accommodation recess is provided. The ashtray accommodating recess has an ashtray usable state in which the ashtray is held and can receive tobacco ash and the like in the recess, and an ashtray unusable state in which the ashtray is moved from the ashtray accommodating recess and does not accept the tobacco ash and the like in the recess. Accommodates an ashtray convertible to. As the movement mode, there is sliding in the ashtray receiving recess rearward, sliding in the lateral direction, and further turning in the horizontal plane about one side edge of the rear portion. Then, when the ashtray is moved out of the ashtray accommodating recess to make the ashtray unusable in which tobacco ash or the like is not received, the upper surface of the bottom wall of the ashtray accommodating recess can be used as a mounting table for placing a beverage container. .

Therefore, if the ashtray is held in the ashtray receiving recess, it can be used as an ashtray as before, and if the ashtray is moved, the bottom is exposed, and the upper surface of the bottom can be used as a mounting table on which a beverage container is placed. Become like in this way,
Since the ashtray can be converted into the usable state and the unusable state only by holding or moving the ashtray in the ashtray accommodating recess, when the ashtray is moved to make the ashtray unusable state,
The bottom portion is located below the upper surface of the saucer, so that a sufficient space can be secured between the bottom plate and the hitting ball supply plate. In addition, since the bottom portion is surrounded by the ashtray accommodating recess in three directions, the bottom surface is used for beverages. The container is easy to put and there is no dirty feeling,
Even if carelessly touched, it is held in the ashtray accommodating recess so that it is difficult to fall.

Further, even if a beverage container is placed on the upper surface of the bottom wall of the ashtray accommodating recess, it does not hit the ball-supplying tray, so that the ball-supplying tray can be designed freely, and the design of the receiving tray can be designed. The same can be done.
