Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an ashtray installation structure installed in a pachinko machine.

Usually, the ashtray of a pachinko machine is installed integrally with a ball tray attached to the inner frame side, for example, the lower part of the inner frame, which covers the front surface of the outer frame so as to be openable and closable. There are several drawbacks to this ashtray installation structure.

For example, since the ashtray is small, its capacity to accommodate cigarette butts is limited, and for this reason, it is necessary to frequently collect cigarette butts to prevent fires or to maintain cleanliness within the hall. Furthermore, if the design and shape of the ball tray are restricted by the ashtray portion, or if the inner frame is carelessly opened, an accident may occur in which the hand of an adjacent player is caught. Furthermore, when a new machine is replaced, it is often discarded along with the ball tray or inner frame, resulting in a lot of waste.

In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention intends to increase the size of the ashtray by installing the ashtray on the outer frame side of the pachinko machine, and furthermore, the ashtray part is installed on the shelf board on which the pachinko machine stand is installed. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ashtray installation structure that can be pulled out to the front so that cigarette butts can be easily collected.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a pachinko machine, which is installed in large numbers on the upper surface of a shelf board 3 of an island stand 2 facing backwards. Reference numeral 4 denotes an inner frame having a window hole 6 that can be opened and closed on the front surface of the outer frame 5 of the pachinko machine 1. A game board 7 is attached to the inner surface of the window hole 6, and a front plate 9 covers the glass frame 8 and the firing position. It can be opened and closed freely. 10 is a ball receiving tray attached to the lower part of the inner frame 4, 11 is a handle for shooting balls, and 12 is a lower plate that covers the lower front part of the outer frame 5.

Therefore, in the present invention, the ashtray 13, which was installed integrally with the ball tray 10 in a normal pachinko machine, is installed on the outer frame side, that is, in front of the lower plate 12, and the ashtray is the ashtray part 14
The structure is such that it can be pulled out to the front of the protruding end of the shelf board 3 of the island stand 2, so that the cigarette butts can be easily collected.

FIG. 2 shows a specific form of the ashtray 13 according to the present invention, in which the ashtray portion 14 has a box-like shape and has a flange portion 15 formed by bending the top opening outward. The ashtray portion 14 has a flange portion 15 attached to a support frame 16.
It is placed on the upper surface and supported, and the upper ends of the arm rods 17, 17 are connected to pins 1 at the upper corners on both sides.
8 and 18, and the lower ends of the arm rods 17 and 17, respectively, are pivotally connected to a shaft 19 passing through the front lower side of the support frame 16.

Therefore, the ashtray part 14 can be freely pulled out forward about the shaft 19, and the pins 18, 1
You can use 8 as a fulcrum and flip it downwards.

The length dimensions of the arm rods 17, 17 are set so that the ashtray part 14 is located slightly forward of the protruding end of the shelf board 3 when the ashtray part 14 is pulled out. Further, the arm rods 17, 17 are integrated with a connecting piece 20 across them, and the ashtray portion 14 is provided with a knob 21.

FIG. 3 shows a mode in which the above-mentioned ashtray 13 is installed in a pachinko machine, and the mounting pieces 2 on both sides of the support frame 16 are attached to the front surface of the lower plate 12 that covers the front lower part of the outer frame 5.
Attach 2 and 22 using appropriate fixing means such as retaining screws. When collecting the cigarette butts, lift the knob 21 upward and move it forward to move the ashtray part 14 to the support frame 16 as shown by the chain line in the figure.
This can be easily done by pulling it forward and then flipping it downwards.

4 to 6 show another form of the ashtray 13, and for ease of understanding, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 2 will be described using the same reference numerals.

That is, the ashtray structure shown in FIG. 4 has a substantially U-shaped side frame 2.
3 is hinged to the support frame 16 so as to rotate horizontally in the front direction, and the ashtray part 14 is attached to the side frame 23 by attaching both upper corners of the side facing the support frame 16 with pins 2.
It is rotatably pivoted at 5 and 25. Therefore, the cigarette butts can be collected regardless of the shelf board 3 by horizontally rotating the side frame 23 forward and then turning the ashtray section 14 downward as shown by the chain line in the figure.

5 and 6 show the ashtray portion 14 drawn out linearly forward.

That is, in the case shown in FIG. 5, side plates 26, 26 are arranged on both inner surfaces of support frames 16, 16.
26 is telescopically connected to the support frames 16, 16 by a pantograph mechanism in which several sets of equal length links 27, 27... are pivoted by pins 28, 28..., respectively;
The ashtray part 14 has side plates 26 and 26 at both upper corners of the front surface, respectively.
It is rotatably mounted on the upper front end of 26 with pins 29, 29. A guide groove 3 receives pins 28, 28, which connect the centers of links 27, 27, to support the side plates 26, 26 so as to be movable back and forth.
0, 30 and 31, 31 are provided on the support frames 16, 16 and the side plates 26, 26.

Therefore, when collecting cigarette butts, pull out the side plates 26, 26 forward as shown by the chain lines in the figure, and remove the ashtray part 14.
Just flip it downwards.

FIG. 6 shows fixed shafts 32, 32 protruding from the lower plate 12 instead of the support frame 16, a side plate 33 integrally disposed on the rear side of the ashtray portion 14, and holes 34, 34 provided on both sides of the side plate 33. are inserted through the fixed shafts 32, 32, so that the ashtray portion 14 is mounted so as to be able to slide back and forth.

And springs 35, 35 are attached to the fixed shafts 32, 32.
The side plate 33 and the fixing pieces 36, 36 at the front ends of the shafts 32, 32 act to constantly press the ashtray part 14 against the lower plate 12, and the bottom part 37 rotates on the rear end side by the shaft 38. It is supported by the upper surface of a guide plate 39 fixed to the lower plate 12 so as to be freely pivotable and always maintain a closed state.

In this embodiment, if the ashtray portion 14 is pulled out forward against the action of the springs 35, 35, the bottom portion 37
is detached from the support of the guide plate 39 and opens downward, allowing the cigarette butts to fall, making the collection work even easier. After collecting the cigarette butts, when the ashtray part 14 is released, it can be returned to its original position while closing the bottom part 37 with the guide plate 39 by the action of the springs 35, 35.

As explained above in the embodiments, according to the present invention,
The ashtray, which used to be installed on the inner frame side of the pachinko machine, is now installed on the lower plate that spans the front lower part of the outer frame. (1) It is now possible to install a large ashtray, making it easier to collect butts. Capacity can be significantly increased and collection operations can be significantly reduced.

(2) When a new stand is replaced, the outer frame remains on the island stand, so the ashtray can continue to be used, making it economical.

(3) Since the ball tray can be made larger, it reduces the trouble for players to transfer prize balls to the ball box, and since the ball tray can be designed without considering the ashtray, it provides a ball tray that is innovative in terms of design. obtain.

(4) It is safe as it eliminates the accident of pinching the hand of an adjacent player even if the inner frame is opened.

(5) A left-hand drive pachinko machine can be easily manufactured.

Furthermore, since the ashtray can be pulled out forward from the protruding end of the shelf board of the island, it is possible to easily collect cigarette butts without any hindrance. is truly enormous.
