BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an ashtray mounting device for a gaming machine that is provided on a panel that closes a front face of a gaming machine housing so as to be freely opened and closed and attaches an ashtray to the panel.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, in a gaming machine such as a slot machine or a pachinko machine, one side of a front panel having a size covering the entire front surface is rotatably supported by a hinge in a box-shaped housing having an open front surface. The front surface of the body is closed and is locked so as to be opened and closed by an opening / closing device having a locking function including a cylinder lock.
[0003]
At the bottom of such a front panel, an ashtray is usually provided adjacent to the left side of the medal tray, so that the player can play while smoking. An ashtray is attached to the front panel where possible. However, as the number of non-smoking people has increased in recent years, in consideration of non-smoking people, a blind board etc. is attached to the ashtray provided in the gaming machine so that the ashtray can not be used, and it is designated as a smoking corner. There are an increasing number of pachinko halls that allow only installed ashtrays to be used.
[0004]
However, a blind plate or the like for closing the ashtray must be separately prepared on the hall side as described above, which causes a lot of burden and effort to the hall manager, which is not preferable.
[0005]
On the other hand, recently, a holder with a top wall that covers the top opening of the ashtray from above is provided. When not in use, the ashtray is pushed into the holder so that it cannot be used. When in use, the ashtray is pulled out of the holder by a predetermined amount. Is partially exposed, and the front end of the ashtray is swung downward from the use position during cleaning (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Further, a recess 53 into which the rear end of the ashtray main body 41 is pushed is formed in the back of the housing portion 43 of the front panel 5 as shown in FIG. By being pushed in, rotation of the ashtray main body 41 is prevented.
[0032]
By the way, as shown in FIG. 5 in particular, both guide grooves 51 are located in front of both outer side surfaces of the ashtray main body 41 and at a predetermined distance D from the upper surface opening of the ashtray main body 41 toward the rear. The first horizontal groove 511 in the front-rear direction of the formed length L1 and both outer side surfaces of the ashtray main body 41 at a predetermined distance D from the bottom surface of the ashtray main body 41 from below the rear end of the first horizontal groove 511 It consists of a second horizontal groove 513 in the front-rear direction having a length L2 formed toward the rear, and a vertical groove 515 that connects the end of the first horizontal groove 511 and the start of the second horizontal groove 513. Here, the length L1 of the first horizontal groove 511 is set to be shorter than the length L2 of the second horizontal groove 513 (L1 <L2). Thus, when the ash from the ashtray main body 41 is discharged. If the ashtray main body 41 is pulled forward by the length L1 of the first horizontal groove 511, the rear end of the ashtray main body 41 comes out of the recess 53, and the ashtray main body 41 becomes rotatable around the projection 49, Ashes can be easily discharged.
[0033]
In particular, as shown in FIG. 6, an iron plate is embedded on the back side of the ashtray main body 41 to form a magnetic adsorption portion 55 made of a magnetic material. Thus, for example, when the ashtray main body 41 is disabled in the entire hall where the slot machine is installed, and only a player who wants to smoke uses a simple ashtray with a magnet on the bottom, this magnetic If the magnet of the simple ashtray is attracted to the adsorption portion 55, the simple ashtray can be easily and firmly attached and used. In addition, 57 is a fire extinguisher for cigarettes formed to protrude inside the ashtray main body 41, and 59 is a groove for placing cigarettes in the middle of smoking formed in the upper part of the front wall of the ashtray main body 41.
[0034]
Next, the operation when the ashtray body 41 is reversed from the usable state to the unusable state will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the rear end of the ashtray body 41 in the usable state is pushed into the recess 53. . In order to release this pushed-in state, when the ashtray main body 41 is first pulled forward, as shown in FIG. 8, both projections 49 slide through the first horizontal grooves 511 of both guide grooves 51 from the start end to the end. .
[0035]
Then, when both protrusions 49 reach the end of the first horizontal groove 511 of both guide grooves 51, the ashtray body 41 is rotated by approximately 180 ° around both protrusions 49 as shown in FIGS. Further, both protrusions 49 slide in the vertical grooves 515 of both guide grooves 51 so that the ashtray main body 41 is completely reversed. As shown in FIG. 12, both protrusions 49 are the second horizontal grooves of both guide grooves 51. Move to the beginning of 513.
[0036]
Subsequently, when the ashtray main body 41 reversed from this state is further pushed backward, as shown in FIG. 13, each of the protrusions 49 slides on the second horizontal groove 513 of the both guide grooves 51 and reaches its end, If the ashtray main body 41 is further pushed backward from this state, the rear end of the ashtray main body 41 in the inverted state enters the recess 53, and therefore the inverted ashtray main body 41 is not easily rotated by an impact or the like.
[0037]
On the other hand, when the ashtray main body 41 that has been reversed and thus disabled is returned to the usable state, the operation may be performed in substantially the same manner as the above-described reversal operation, and the rear side of the ashtray main body 41 in the unusable state. When the ashtray main body 41 is pulled forward in order to release the state where the end is pushed into the concave portion 53, both protrusions 49 respectively form the second horizontal grooves 513 of the both guide grooves 51 as shown in FIGS. Slide to move from the end to the beginning.
[0038]
When the projections 49 reach the start ends of the second horizontal grooves 513 of the guide grooves 51, the ashtray main body 41 is rotated by approximately 180 ° around the projections 49, whereby the projections 49 are respectively guided by the guides. The ashtray body 41 is completely reversed by sliding along the vertical groove 515 of the groove 51, and both protrusions 49 move to the end of the first horizontal groove 511 of both guide grooves 51, as shown in FIG. 8.
[0039]
Subsequently, when the inverted ashtray main body 41 is further pushed backward from this state, as shown in FIG. 7, both protrusions 49 slide on the first horizontal grooves 511 of the both guide grooves 51 to start from the end. When the ashtray main body 41 is further pushed backward from this state, the rear end of the ashtray main body 41 enters the recess 53.
[0040]
Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, the ashtray main body 41 is supported by the combination of the protrusion 49 and the guide groove 51 so as to be rotatable and movable back and forth. Therefore, when the ashtray main body 41 is not used, the ashtray main body 41 is inverted. The ashtray main body 41 can be inverted so as not to obstruct the game by being pushed into the recess 53 in a state where the top and bottom are reversed, and with a simple and inexpensive configuration without using a closing member or the like as in the prior art. The ashtray main body 41 can be held in an unusable state.
[0041]
Moreover, in order to return the ashtray main body 41 to the usable state, it is only necessary to pull the inverted ashtray main body 41 forward and then reverse it to the original state, and there is no need to remove the blocking member or the like as in the prior art, The ashtray body 41 can be easily returned to the usable state.
[0042]

[0043]
In addition, since the rear end of the ashtray main body 41 is pushed into the recess 53 in both the usable state and the unusable state, the ashtray main body 41 can be prevented from rotating due to an impact or the like.
[0044]
Further, in either the usable state or the unusable state, the ashtray main body 41 does not protrude upward from the accommodating portion 43, and the ashtray main body 41 and the medal receiver 39 form the same surface. It is possible to prevent the ashtray main body 41 from interfering with the game in the possible state and the unusable state, and the player can enjoy the game with pleasure.
[0045]
Further, since the first horizontal groove 511 of the guide groove 51 is set to be shorter than the second horizontal groove 513, the ashtray body 41 is moved to the length of the first horizontal groove 511 when discharging the butts in the ashtray body 41. By pulling out about L1, the ashtray body 41 can be easily rotated and the butts can be easily discharged.
[0046]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0047]
For example, in the embodiment described above, the end of the second horizontal groove 513 of the guide groove 51 is not bent, but the end of the second horizontal groove 513 is bent obliquely downward, for example (see FIG. 15), and this bent first The rear end of the ashtray main body 41 may be pushed into the recess 53 by sliding the projection 49 at the end of the two horizontal grooves 513.
[0048]
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the concave portion 53 for pushing the rear end of the ashtray main body 41 is formed in the front panel 5 at the back of the accommodating portion 43 has been described, but there is no space for forming such a concave portion 53. Alternatively, the ashtray main body 41 may be used, and the end of the second horizontal groove 513 of the guide groove 51 may be bent downward (see FIG. 16) or obliquely downward. The ashtray main body 41 can be prevented from rotating even when an external force is applied to the ashtray main body 41 by being inserted into the end of the bent second horizontal groove 513, and the ashtray can be easily formed without forming a recess in the front panel 5. The rotation of the main body 41 can be prevented.
[0049]
In the embodiment described above, the guide groove 51 is formed on the ashtray main body 41 side and the protrusion 49 is formed on the accommodating portion 43 side. However, the guide groove 51 is formed on the accommodating portion 43 side and the protrusion 49 is disposed on the ashtray main body 41. Needless to say, it may be formed on the side.
[0050]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the guide groove 51 includes the vertical groove 515 that connects the first horizontal groove 511 and the second horizontal groove 513, but in particular, the first horizontal groove 511 and the second horizontal groove 511 are illustrated.
