Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a handheld ball box for a pachinko parlor that is used by players to store, organize, and move pachinko balls.

Pachinko parlors are equipped with a ball box that can hold an appropriate amount of pachinko balls, and players can receive the balls purchased from the ball dispenser, organize the prize balls accumulated in the pachinko machine's ball tray, and when the game ends. It is used for carrying prizes to settlement.

Conventionally, this seed ball box has a horizontally elongated rectangular opening, and the side walls that rise outward from the bottom plate towards the opening are sloped so that the end walls are larger than the side walls. A locking stage is installed on the top of the side wall to lock the upper box to the opening edge of the lower box so that when the upper box is inserted into the box and the boxes are stacked together, the upper box is slightly floating. There is a small ball box set up.

This ball box is convenient because when the boxes are stacked on top of each other when not in use, a gap is created between the boxes, and when the upper box is removed, air can freely flow in and out through the gap, and the lower boxes do not get stuck. Although it is a thing,
As mentioned above, by increasing the slope of the end walls compared to the side walls, the gap between the boxes between the end walls becomes larger and the backlash increases. If the center is shifted, and many boxes are stacked high, the upright stability will be poor, and they will easily fall over when the upper box is removed or even if something else comes into contact with it even slightly.

This invention solves these problems, and embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a ball box with a long and narrow opening.
In this ball box 1, the slope of the side wall 4 that rises outward from the bottom plate 2 toward the opening 3 is made larger at the end wall 4a than at the side wall 4b.

Note that the end wall 4a of the embodiment is formed into a gutter-like cross section.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an opening edge formed in an overhanging manner at the upper end of the side wall, and the opening edge 5 has a corner portion 6 that has a large overhang so as to form a substantially rectangular shape as a whole.

7 is a locking step provided on the upper part of the outer surface of the side wall 4b;
It is provided as a horizontally extending downward step, and when stacking boxes, it is engaged with the lower box opening edge so that the upper box is slightly raised relative to the lower box.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a vertical wall surface formed on the lower wall surface of the end wall 4a, and the lower edge of this vertical wall surface 8 is made to abut against the inner wall surface of the lower box when stacking the boxes.

In this design, as mentioned above, the lower part of the end wall is slightly deformed to form a vertical wall, and the lower edge of the vertical wall comes into contact with the inner wall of the lower box when the boxes are stacked. This limits the wobbling of stacked boxes, eliminates large shifts in the center of each box, improves upright stability by stacking a large number of boxes, and when removing the upper box, the upper box can be moved slightly. Just by lifting the boxes, there will be no contact, and the presence of gaps between the boxes allows air to freely flow in and out, preventing the lower boxes from getting stuck when the upper box is removed.
To provide a ball box that is easy to handle and use.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A long and narrow opening is made horizontally, and the slope of the side wall that rises outward from the bottom plate toward the opening is made so that the end wall is larger than the side wall, and the upper box is inserted into the lower box to stack the boxes together. When stacking, a vertical wall is formed at the bottom of the end wall in a ball box that has a locking step on the upper side wall that locks on the opening edge of the lower box so that the upper box floats slightly. A handheld ball box for a pachinko parlor, characterized in that the lower end edge of the vertical wall surface contacts the inner wall surface of the lower box when stacking the boxes.
