Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a device for attaching and detaching game machines in a game hall where box-shaped game machines with a depth are arranged in series on a top plate facing an aisle to form an island. .

``Prior Art'' For example, a slot machine is a deep, box-shaped gaming machine that is connected to a top plate facing an aisle to form an island. Naturally, there is a supply and collection line for medals and coins on the back side of the island.

In conventional game arcades, the game machines are simply placed on a top board, and when it becomes necessary to inspect the back side of the island, the heavy game machines have to be pulled out manually to perform the inspection. .

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' However, in this conventional method of inspection work, 1
There is a problem in that the inspection work is extremely complicated and requires manpower, and one inspection work cannot be carried out easily.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and provides a gaming machine attachment/detachment device that allows a deep box-shaped gaming machine such as a slot machine to be easily attached/detached. The purpose is to

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The gist of the present invention for achieving the above object is to provide a gaming facility in which deep box-shaped gaming machines are arranged in series on the top facing the aisle to form an island. In this attachment/detachment device for a gaming machine, an elevating part is supported on a base having casters movable on a passage so as to be movable up and down.

The attachment/detachment device for a gaming machine is characterized in that the elevating part is provided with an elevating drive mechanism, and a raised part is inserted under the gaming machine to lift the gaming machine.

``Function'' In a game hall where deep box-shaped game machines are connected to each other on the top plate facing the aisle to form an island, in order to pull out the game machines, roll the casters to move them along the aisle, and then use the attachment/detachment device. Position it in front of the gaming machine you want to pull out.

Once the position of the attachment/detachment device is determined, 1. Advance the attachment/detachment device, insert the fork part under the game machine, and stop it. 0. Next, operate the elevating mechanism to raise the elevating part supported by the base, and the fork part The machine also rises and the game machine is lifted off the top.

Therefore, when the attachment/detachment device is moved backward, the gaming machine is pulled out from the top plate together with the attachment/detachment device, and the interior of the island can be inspected and repaired.

When the inspection work, etc. is completed, move the attachment/detachment device forward in the opposite direction to the above, lower the elevating part and the fork part using the elevating mechanism, and when the game machine is placed on the top plate, retract the attachment/detachment device and return it to its permanent location. , the gaming machine will return to its original position and you will be able to play the game.

"Example" Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Each country represents an embodiment of the invention.

As shown in Figure 3, there are shelves in the game area facing 1 aisle A.
A top plate 11 is provided at the middle height of the shelf lO, and a cap 12 and a waist board 13 are provided above and below.

An island is formed on the top plate 11 by connecting slot machines M, M, . . . , which are deep box-shaped game machines. Note that for ease of viewing, only one slot machine Mft is shown in FIG. 3.

The attachment/detachment unit W20 is for attaching/detaching the slot machine M placed on the top plate 11 as necessary.
0 is supported so that it can be moved up and down.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the base 32 of the base 30
A horizontal leg 33.33 extends forward from the lower end of the base 32.
casters 31.3 at both ends of the horizontal leg 33.33 and the tip of the horizontal leg 33.33
1... are arranged. Insertion openings 14 for horizontal legs 33, 33 are provided in the wainscot 13 of the shelf 10 (FIG. 3, WA).

Vertical struts 34.34 are provided at both ends of the base 32, and each of the struts 34.34 has a threaded hole 35.34.
35 are drilled.

The elevating section 40 extends from both upper ends of the base 41 to the slot machine M.
A fork part 42.42 is inserted under the slot machine M and lifts it up horizontally, and the elevating drive g! h mechanism 50
Be prepared and fearless. When the slot machine M is in close contact with the top plate 11, the top plate 11 is formed with a groove 15 through which the fork portion 42 is inserted (see FIG. 3).

Screw shafts 51.51 constituting the ridge 9jJ mechanism 50 are screwed into screw holes 35.35 in the support columns 34.34 of the base 30, and the upper ends of each screw shaft 51.51 rotate. The elevating part 40 is connected to the screw shaft 51.51 by the upper support block 43, which is fitted in the upper support block 43, and the lower support block (not shown), which is rotatably fitted in the middle part of the screw shaft 51 at the lower part of the base 41.
is supported by

The ridge movement mechanism 50 includes a connecting shaft 53 and a 1M ring shaft 5, which have worms 54, 54 at both ends that mesh with worm wheels 52, 52 fixed to the screw shafts 51, 51, respectively.
3, a drive bevel gear 56 that meshes with a bevel gear 55 fixedly provided at an intermediate portion thereof, and a drive member 58 having a handle 57 for rotating the drive bevel gear 56.

Next, the action will be explained.

In order to pull out the slot machine M, which is a deep box-shaped gaming machine installed on the top plate 11 facing the aisle A, it is necessary to pull out the detachable device 20 from its permanent location, roll the casters to move along the aisle A, and pull it out. Place it in front of the slot machine M.

Once the position of the detachable bag W20 is determined, the detachable device 20 is moved forward, the fork portions 42, 42 are inserted into the groove portion 15 and inserted under the slot machine M, and the horizontal legs 33 of the base 30 are connected to the waist plate 13 of the shelf lO. Insert it into the insertion hole 14 and stop it.

Next, when the elevating mechanism 50 is operated to raise the elevating part 40 supported by the base 30, the fork parts 42 and 42 also rise, and the slot machine M is lifted off the top plate 11.

That is, when the handle 57 of the drive member 58 is rotated in the direction in which the elevating part 40 rises, the drive bevel gear 56 rotates and the bevel gear 55 meshed with it rotates the connection shaft 53, causing the worms at both ends of the connection shaft 53 to rotate. The worm cage reel 52 is rotated by 54,54.

When the ohm wheel 52 rotates, the screw shaft 51 rotates, and the screw @1151 rotates and rises relative to the screw hole 35 into which it is screwed. This lift lifts the slot machine M onto the fork portion 42, 4.2.

Then, when the attachment/detachment device 20 is moved backward, the slot machine M can be pulled out from the top plate 11 together with the attachment/detachment bag R20.

After the inspection work, etc. is completed, the attaching/detaching device 20 is advanced in the opposite direction to the above, the driving member 58 of the ridge moving mechanism 50 is rotated in the downward direction, the elevating part 40 and the fork part 42, 42 are lowered, and the slot machine When the slot machine M is placed on the top plate 11, the attaching/detaching device 20 is moved back and the slot machine M is returned to its permanent position, and the slot machine M is returned to its original position and a game can be played.

"Effects of the Invention" According to the gaming machine attachment/detachment device of the present invention, a deep box-shaped gaming machine such as a slot machine can be easily pulled out from the island without any manual effort. By doing so, inspection work becomes extremely easy, and responses to breakdowns, etc. become quicker.

To improve efficiency without impairing the operating time of a gaming machine.
