Further, the entire ashtray may be configured to be rotatable about the substantially horizontal direction. The ball tray that applies the cigarette holder according to claim 1 is applied to the ball tray that is configured such that the cigarette holder (or the entire ashtray) can be rotated about the substantially horizontal direction. You may do it.
[0016]
In addition, since the pachinko machine according to claim 6 includes the ball tray according to claim 4 or 5 , the ball tray and the pachinko machine are aesthetically excellent.
[0017]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
First, FIG. 1 is a front view showing a lower part of a pachinko machine 2 to which the present invention is applied. In the pachinko machine 2, an ashtray 8 that is rotatable about the left-right direction is provided in the lower tray 6, and a cigarette holder 10 is attached above the ashtray 8. The cigarette holder 10 includes a bracket 12 and a main body 14. The lower plate 6 corresponds to the ball receiving plate of the present invention.
[0018]
FIG. 2 shows only the cigarette holder 10 taken out. 2A is a plan view of the main body 14, FIG. 2B is a side view of the main body 14, and FIG. 2C is a front view of the main body 14 (viewed from the same direction as FIG. 1). 2 (d) is a side view of the bracket 12, and FIG. 2 (e) is a front view of the bracket 12. Only the cigarette 16 placed on the main body 14 is also shown in FIG.
[0019]
The main body 14 includes a frame 18 in which a wire is bent and a plate-like placement portion 20 welded to the frame 18. The frame 18 has a mounting portion 22 whose portion on the pachinko machine 2 side is bent by 90 degrees, and is attached to the pachinko machine 2 by inserting the mounting portion 22 into the bracket 12. The side opposite to the attachment portion 22 is a fitting portion 24 (a portion formed in a square shape in FIG. 2B) for fitting the filter portion 16 a of the tobacco 16. Note that the player who feels troublesome to fit the cigarette 16 into the fitting portion 24 does not fit the cigarette 16 into the fitting portion 24 as long as care is taken so that the cigarette 16 does not fall from the ashtray 8. You may just put it at 20.
[0020]
On the other hand, the bracket 12 is a synthetic resin member formed into a U-shape as shown in FIG. A double-sided tape 26 is attached to the side surface on the pachinko machine 2 side, and is attached to the pachinko machine 2 by this. In addition, two holes 28 are formed in the upper surface of the figure, and the attachment portion 22 of the main body 14 is inserted therein.
[0021]
According to the cigarette holder 10 as described above, since the cigarette 16 is placed on the main body 14 instead of the ashtray 8, the cleaner can rotate the ashtray 8 to remove the cigarette butts from the cigarette 16 without the player's notice. Moreover, since it is fitted in the fitting part 24, even if the fired cigarette 16 becomes short, it does not fall out of the main body 14.
[0022]
Since the bracket 12 is attached to the pachinko machine 2 by the double-sided tape 26, the pachinko machine 2 can be attached to any pachinko machine 2 as long as the pachinko machine 2 has a mounting space for the bracket 12 above the ashtray 8. Can be applied.
As described above, the cigarette holder 10 has been described as an embodiment to which the present invention is applied. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment and can be implemented in various modes.
[0023]
For example, the cigarette holder 10 may be applied to a gaming machine other than the pachinko machine 2 (eg, a revolving gaming machine). Moreover, you may make it like FIG. In this embodiment, two holes 30 are formed in the lower plate 6 side by side in the front-rear direction, and the main body 14 is inserted into the hole 30 so that the main body 14 is turned sideways. The direction in which the holes 30 are arranged and the shape of the bracket 12 may be changed to install the main body 14 in an oblique direction or in the direction opposite to that shown in FIG. 3. The cigarette 16 placed in the section 20 is positioned above the ashtray 8. When the ashtray 8 is attached to the upper plate 4, the cigarette holder 10 is attached to the upper plate 4. In this case, the upper plate 4 corresponds to the ball receiving plate of the present invention. In the case of the pachinko machine 2 in which the upper plate 4 and the lower plate 6 are integrally formed, the cigarette holder 10 is attached to the integrally formed plate, and the integrally formed plate is the present invention. It corresponds to a ball tray.
[0024]
In the above embodiments, the above-mentioned problems have been solved by attaching the bracket 12 to the existing pachinko machine 2 or performing additional machining on the ashtray 8, but the pachinko machine 2 is configured integrally with the pachinko machine 2 from the beginning. May be. An example of this is shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the lower plate 6 ′ configured as described above. In this aspect, the ashtray 8 ′ is rotatable about the vertical axis A, and the main body 14 ′ is extended so as to cover the ashtray 8 ′. The main body 14 'is a substantially triangular member as well shown in FIG. 4B, and two semi-cylindrical depressions 32 are formed. These dents 32 correspond to placement portions. Further, the ashtray 8 ′ is mainly composed of a frame portion 34 and a butt case 36, and the butt case 36 is attached so as to be rotatable with respect to the frame portion 34 about a substantially horizontal axis B. ing.
[0025]
Since the ashtray 8 'and the main body 14' also have the cigarette 16 placed on the main body 14 'instead of the ashtray 8', the cleaner can remove the cigarette butt 40 without notifying the player as follows. . That is, the ashtray 8 ′ is rotated around the axis A from the state of FIG. 4A and pulled to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Then, the sucker case 36 is rotated around the axis B to recover the sucker shell 40. Although not shown in FIG. 4 (b) and FIG. 4 (c), there is no influence on the tobacco 16 placed in the depression 32 during this period. 1 and 3, the player may put the cigarette 16 directly on the ashtray in spite of the cigarette holder 10, but the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is very close to the conventional ashtray. Since the cigarette 16 is placed at the place, the efficiency of cleaning can be steadily realized. Further, compared with the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, since there is a sense of unity between the lower plate 6 ′ and the cigarette holder, it is aesthetically superior.
