BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko equipment unit used for a pachinko island, and more particularly to a pachinko equipment unit in which the frame of the pachinko machine is attached to the unit body.

[0002]

A conventional pachinko island, in which a large number of pachinko machines are lined up, is a long structure having a skeleton made of wood, and pachinko balls are transferred to the structure built in a store in advance. Equipment and various equipment are installed, and the machine frame (wood material) is attached by nailing while adjusting the inclination to each opening provided in the structure, and the pachinko machine opens and closes to the machine frame. It is set by hinge connection as much as possible. Then, the pachinko machine is recombined regularly or after an appropriate period of time. In recent years, a pachinko machine unit that supplies pachinko balls to a pachinko machine and combines various equipment such as a ball rental machine and a money transfer machine into one has been proposed. This pachinko equipment unit incorporates devices such as a pachinko ball supply device, a ball rental machine, and a money transfer machine inside the skeleton body made of a metal panel as described above, and on the game side, for example, the upper side. An inspection panel and a decorative panel for hiding the inside of the skeleton are attached to the lower side, and an opening for assembling a pachinko machine is provided between the upper and lower sides by passing a metal frame inside the skeleton. . Then, as in the case of the pachinko island of the timber frame described above, a machine frame is attached to the opening, and the pachinko machine is hingedly set to the machine frame.

By the way, in the proposed pachinko machine unit, the opening for setting the pachinko machine is a metal frame at the top and bottom, so nailing and fixing the machine frame itself is difficult. From this point of view, a pair of upper and lower rotating hook members are provided between the upper and lower frames, and engaging members that engage with the rotating hook members are provided on the upper side and the lower side of the machine frame, respectively. When mounting the machine frame between the upper and lower frames, the machine frame is fixed by engaging the rotary hook member with the engaging member, and the rotary hook members can be slid in the front-rear direction. Although it has been proposed that the tilt of the machine frame can be adjusted, there is a problem that the structure is complicated, the cost is increased, and the machine frame cannot be easily attached. Therefore, the tilt of the machine frame can be adjusted,
Moreover, there is a demand for a fixing means that can be securely attached to the metal frame.

Further, the conventional machine frame has two sizes (W530 mm × H820 m).
m and W520 mm × H810 mm), in order to be able to mount both machine frames, the size of the opening must be adapted to the larger machine frame. Therefore, when setting a small machine frame in the opening in a stable condition, make the machine frame the same size as the large machine frame by placing plywood on the left and right sides of the machine frame and on the lower side. It takes time and effort,
Even if the machine frame is fixed using the above-mentioned rotary hook member, since the rotary hook member is provided in an arrangement corresponding to a large machine frame, plywood is similarly used for a small machine frame. Since it is necessary to attach it, in this respect as well, it has been required to fix the machine frame without separately preparing the plywood or the like.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention is directed to the above pachinko machine unit, in which the metal frames above and below the opening are made of large or small machine frames. It is an object to provide a means for supporting the upper side portion and the lower side portion, and also to make it possible to adjust the inclination of the machine frame, and an object thereof is to facilitate the attachment of the machine frame to the pachinko machine unit.

[0006]

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and the machine frames of a plurality of pachinko machines are arranged between the upper and lower frames of the unit main body to equip the pachinko machines in a parallel state. In the pachinko equipment unit to be held, the lower side of the machine frame is held by being sandwiched between the lower frame of the unit main body and the lower supporting device attached to the upper surface side of the lower frame, and is held on the lower surface side of the upper frame. To provide a pachinko equipment unit, characterized in that a support metal fitting attached and hanging downward is held in a state of being sandwiched between the upper side portion of the machine frame and an L metal fitting attached to this upper side portion, and the above-mentioned problem is solved. It will be resolved. Also provided is a pachinko equipment unit in which the support fitting is attached to the upper frame so as to be movable and adjustable in the depth direction of the unit main body, and the machine frame is tiltably provided by the movement adjustment of the support fitting. It is a thing.

According to the present invention, the height position of the upper side of the machine frame is free within the range where the supporting metal fittings are sandwiched, and the machine frame can be held even in a small machine frame without interposing a plywood under the machine frame. Will be able to.
