Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial field of application> This invention was developed to prevent the ball container from falling when placed on a narrow table that protrudes forward at the bottom of a pachinko machine. This invention relates to a fall prevention device for pachinko machine ball containers.

<Prior Art> At the bottom of a pachinko machine installed in a pachinko game hall, there is generally a narrow table protruding toward the front on which a ball container or the like can be placed.

<Problem that the invention attempts to solve> When a large number of balls come out and the saucer is about to overflow, a ball container containing many balls transferred from the saucer is placed on this table, but the table Because the depth of the table is narrow, there was a problem that the ball container placed on the table could fall due to inadvertence.

This invention was made to solve the above problems, and it prevents the ball container from falling from the narrow table installed at the bottom of the pachinko machine, and also makes it easy to install. To provide a fall prevention tool for a ball container for a pachinko machine, in which an arm can be stored inside when in use.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The ball container fall prevention device for a pachinko machine of the present invention is designed to roll a roller fitting attached to the bottom of the openable/closable top frame of the pachinko machine. A fall prevention device that is removably attached to a sliding plate attached to the inside, in which a slit is bored near the bent part of the sliding plate whose front and rear parts are bent downward,
A plate-shaped arm is fitted into the slit so as to be slidable back and forth, and a locking portion for locking the ball container is provided at the tip of the arm.

<Function> Therefore, when placing a ball container on a narrow table at the bottom of a pachinko machine, the arm is pulled out from the sliding plate and the locking portion at the end of the arm is placed on the top of the ball container placed on the table. Keep it engaged. Thereby, the ball container is held by the locking portion of the arm and is prevented from falling.

<Example> Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a ball container fall prevention device. This fall prevention device is installed on the slide plate of the roller metal fitting attached to the bottom of the openable and closable front frame of the pachinko machine.
It is attached so that it can be put in and taken out.

Reference numeral 1 designates the sliding plate, and the front part 1a and rear part 1b of the sliding plate 1 are bent downward at right angles, and slits 2a and 2b are bored along the bent parts of the front part and the rear part. As shown in FIG. 5, this sliding plate 1 is screwed to the lower part of the main body frame, and holes for passing the screws are bored at appropriate locations in the sliding plate 1.

3 is a plate-shaped arm that is slidably inserted into the slits 2a and 2b of the sliding plate 1.The tip of the arm 3 is bent downward at a right angle to form a locking part 3a, and the rear end is also fitted with a locking part 3a to prevent it from coming off. It is bent downwards because of this.

At approximately the center of the arm 3, as shown in FIG.
A recess 3b is provided on its upper surface, and a leaf spring 4 is accommodated in this recess 3b so as to press against the back surface of the sliding plate 1. This recess 3b has a width and length approximately 1/4 of the arm 3, and is made by pressing, etc., and the leaf spring 4 inserted into this recess 3b exerts a biasing force on the arm 3 and the sliding plate 1. When the arm 3 slides back and forth, it acts to provide appropriate frictional resistance.

Note that the locking portion 3a formed by bending the tip of the arm 3 allows other separate members to be connected to the arm 3.
It can also be provided so as to be fixed to the tip of the.

As shown in FIG. 5, the fall prevention device configured in this way is installed at the bottom of the main body frame 10 made of wood, for example, in the front frame (frame of the door that can be opened and closed) 1.
1 is fixed at a position corresponding to the roller fitting 12 attached to the lower part of the roller fitting 12.

The front frame 11 of a pachinko machine is equipped with various electromechanical parts and is quite heavy.
The free end side tends to fall. Table frame 1 like this
In order to prevent difficulty in opening and closing due to the falling of the roller fitting 1, a roller fitting 12 is fixed to the lower part of the front frame 11, and a sliding plate for rolling the roller fitting 12 is provided inside the corresponding lower part of the main body frame 10. 1 is fixed with a screw. Therefore, when the front frame 11 is closed, the roller fittings 12 on the side of the front frame 11 roll on the sliding plate 1, as shown in FIG. 4, and are easily closed at an accurate position. Locking is also done well.

Furthermore, since the sliding plate 1 is attached to such a position, the arm 3 engaged therewith is moved to the third position.
As shown in the figure, it is disposed so that it can be pulled out just below the saucer 13 on the lower side of the Pachinko machine.

When many balls come out during pachinko play, the balls accumulate in a saucer 13 provided at the bottom of the pachinko machine and overflow. Then, the pachinko player places the ball container 15 on the table 14 that is provided below the pachinko machine, and
The balls in the saucer 13 are transferred inside. At this time, if the arm 3 provided on the sliding plate 1 directly below the saucer 13 is pulled out, the locking part 3a at the tip of the arm 3 will enter the top of the ball container 15 and lock it, or the ball container 15 acts to lock when tilted. Therefore, even if the player inadvertently moves the ball container 15, the ball container 15 is prevented from falling from the table 14 by being held by the locking portion 3a. If the arm 3 is pushed back when the fall prevention device is not used, the locking portion 3a of the arm 3 will not get in the way. In addition, since this arm 3 is biased by a leaf spring 4, it will not wobble, and the arm 3 will not unnecessarily protrude from the sliding plate 1 due to vibration etc. when the pachinko machine is being transported. .

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, according to the ball container fall prevention device for a pachinko machine of the present invention, a slide plate attached to the bottom of the pachinko machine is provided with an arm that can be pulled out, and a locking part is provided at the tip of the arm. Since the ball container is placed on the narrow table at the bottom of the pachinko machine, the ball container can be placed on the table by pulling out the arm from the sliding plate and hooking its locking part to the top of the ball container. It is held securely and its fall is prevented. In addition, since the arm can be pulled out and used,
When unnecessary, the locking portion can be kept in a state where it does not protrude, so that it does not get in the way. Furthermore, since the fall prevention device is installed inside the sliding board, less material is required and installation is easier than when such a fall prevention device is manufactured separately and installed at the bottom of the pachinko machine. can also be done easily.
