That is, in the embodiment of the drawing, the left slide restricting piece 37 extends from the top toward the left obliquely downward toward the left end, and the right slide restricting piece 37 is from the top toward the right toward the right end. It extends diagonally downward.

  The through hole forming member 32 is a plate-like member provided so as to be movable in the hollow portion 39 of the slide base member 33 described above. Specifically, the width is slightly smaller than the front-rear dimension of the hollow portion 39, and is set to the left-right length with a margin by adding the slide stroke length to the left-right length of the exposed portion 34. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the upper half 32a and the lower half 32b made of plastic are superposed and fixed, and the rear edge has a notch 40 in the left-right longitudinal direction. And is formed in the left and right end portions of the upper and lower sides of the upper half 32a so as to have a full length in the left and right direction. A plurality of engaging recesses 42 are formed as receiving parts, and a plurality of (8 in the drawing) through-holes 31 are opened in the left-right direction at a predetermined interval (P1) in the ridge 41 between both engaging recesses 42. A spring portion 43 that functions as an urging member is formed on the lower surface. The engaging recess 42 has a serrated cross section, and is formed with a steep step in the direction in which the tip claw of the slide restricting piece 37 provided at the opposite position is hooked. The distance (P2) in the left-right direction formed by the step) is wider than the diameter of the fixture 30, and is set to be different from the distance (P1) between the through holes 31.

  The above-described spring portion 43 is a fixing mechanism provided on the upper collar 21a that drives the through hole forming member 32 toward the contact portion side of the slide base member 33, that is, in this embodiment, the fixing tool 30 from below to above. Then, the slide base member 33 is urged toward the ceiling surface of the slide restriction base 36 that is the ceiling portion side of the hollow portion 39 to press the engagement protrusion 37 and the engagement recess 42 in the engaging direction. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, it is molded in a cantilever shape integrally formed with the resin through-hole forming member 32 and protrudes from the surface opposite to the engaging recess 42 of the through-hole forming member 32. The tip portion is pressed against the bottom surface of the hollow portion 39 of the slide base member 33 and the through hole forming member 32 is biased toward the contact portion side of the slide base member 33 by the reaction force. Take.

The abutting portion of the slide base member 33 is located between the island facility 1 and the through hole forming member 32, and when the gaming machine 5 is fixed to the island facility 1, It is a part that can contact. In the present embodiment, the slide base member 33 is integrated with the upper horizontal flange 21a, and the engagement projection 37 is formed on the through hole forming member 32, and the engagement receiving portion is engaged with the engagement projection 37. Since the (engagement recess) 42 is formed on the upper surface of the through-hole forming member 32 facing the engagement protrusion 37, the ceiling surface of the slide restriction base 36 that is the ceiling portion side of the hollow portion 39 of the slide base member 33. Corresponds to the contact portion. When the engaging protrusion 37 is provided on the upper surface of the through hole forming member 32 in the fixing mechanism of the upper collar 21a, the ceiling surface of the slide base member 33 facing the upper surface serves as a contact portion. The engagement receiving part 42 is formed in the ceiling surface which is a contact part.
On the other hand, in the case of the fixing mechanism provided on the lower rod 21 b, the fixing tool 30 is driven and fixed from the top to the bottom, so that the abutting portion is on the bottom surface side of the hollow portion 39 of the slide base member 33.
Therefore, the slide base member 33 is provided between the island facility 1 and the through-hole forming member 32 and includes a contact portion that can contact the through-hole forming member 32. A plurality of engaging protrusions are formed by an engaging convex portion formed on one of the facing surface of the forming member 32 facing the contacting portion or the contacting surface of the contacting portion that can contact the facing surface. The receiving portion 42 is configured by an engaging recess 42 formed on the other of the facing surface and the contact surface.

  When the through-hole forming member 32 having the above-described configuration is incorporated in the hollow portion 39 of the slide base member 33, the distal end portion of the resin spring portion 43 is located on the bottom surface of the hollow portion 39 of the slide base member 33 as shown in FIG. The through-hole forming member 32 is urged upward by pressing, and the urging force causes the through-hole forming member 32 to move up in the hollow portion 39 so that the upper surface contacts the ceiling surface of the hollow portion 39 of the slide base member 33. The front end claw portion of the engagement protrusion 37 is brought into contact with the engagement recess 42, and the engagement causes the through hole forming member 32 to be restricted from sliding in the left-right direction. Therefore, the above-described slide restriction state is maintained in a normal state where no external force is applied to the through hole forming member 32. When the through-hole forming member 32 is pushed down by hand against the urging force of the resin spring portion 43, the engagement receiving portion 42 formed on the upper surface of the through-hole forming member 32 is lowered and the engagement protrusion 37, the through-hole forming member 32 can be slid in the left-right longitudinal direction in this state, and the appropriate position (the other engagement receiving portion in which the engagement protrusion 37 is different from the original engagement receiving portion 42). When the external force is released by moving to a new position that coincides with 42, the through-hole forming member 32 is lifted by the urging force of the resin spring portion 43, and the engagement protrusion 37 is engaged with the new engagement receiving portion 42. Then, this engagement converts the through hole forming member 32 into a state in which movement is restricted at a new position.

  Even if the through-hole forming member 32 is slid to the left or right end, as shown in FIG. 10, the fasteners 45 such as bolts and pins for fixing the reinforcing metal fitting 25 are attached to the through-hole forming member 32. When the through-hole forming member 32 is slid to the left or right end portion when arranged on the extension line in the sliding direction, the tip of the through-hole forming member 32 hits the fastening tool 45 and further sliding is prevented. The inconvenience of the forming member 32 falling off from the slide base member 33 is prevented.

  Further, as will be described in detail later, when a fixing tool 30 such as a nail is inserted into the through hole 31 from below, and the fixing tool 30 is driven into the upper lateral fixing member 3 of the island facility 1, the fixing tool 30 is inserted into the through hole. Since the forming member 32 is pressed against the upper lateral fixing member 3 positioned above the forming member 32, the engaging protrusion 37 is surely engaged with the engaging receiving portion 42 by this pressing force. The slide with respect to the slide base member 33 is firmly regulated, and the positional deviation of the gaming machine 5 can be reliably prevented.

Next, a procedure for installing the gaming machine 5 on the island facility 1 will be described.
When the gaming machine 5 to be newly replaced is transferred from the factory to the gaming store, the front frame 16 is removed from the machine frame 15. Then, the machine frame 15 is pushed into the installation space 6 of the island facility 1 to adjust the position, specifically, the degree that the upper end of the gaming machine 5 is located behind the lower end in addition to the front, rear, left and right positions (ie, the laying angle) ) (Generally about 4 to 5 minutes), and the gaming machine installed so far on the horizontal fixing members 2 and 3 of the island facility 1 corresponding to the through hole 31 into which the fixing tool 30 is inserted. 5 confirms that the traces (holes) of the fixture 30 used for fixing 5 do not overlap. When installing the gaming machine 5, since normally two fixing tools 30 are used, it is confirmed whether there are two through holes 31 that do not overlap the traces. If they overlap, the use of another through hole 31 is examined, and the examination is repeated until a through hole 31 that does not overlap is found. And even if it examines all the through-holes 31, if it seems to overlap with the trace of the fixture 30 used so far, the game machine 5 is once taken out from the installation space 6 or placed in the installation space 6. The through-hole forming member 32 is slid in the left-right direction in a state where the position of the through-hole 31 is moved by one (one notch) of the engagement receiving portion 42, and all the through-holes 31 are traced even if moved. The through hole forming member 32 is further moved by one notch. When the through hole forming member 32 is slid in this manner, any through hole 31 is removed from the trace hole even in the gaming machine 5 of the same manufacturer. And if the through-hole 31 which does not overlap a trace has been confirmed, the fixing tool 30 is inserted in this through-hole 31, and the front-end | tip of the fixing tool 30 pierces the horizontal fixing materials 2 and 3, and the head of the fixing tool 30 is inserted. Until it comes into contact with the through hole forming member 32. Then, since the through-hole forming member 32 is pressed toward the slide base member 33, the engagement protrusion 37 is securely engaged with the engagement receiving portion 42, thereby giving vibration to the gaming machine 5. In addition, the relative position between the through hole forming member 32 and the slide base member 33 is not shifted, and there is no possibility of displacement.

  Further, as described above, the notch that exposes the upper opening of the ball storage tank 12 at the rear edge of the through-hole forming member 32 even if the through-hole forming member 32 is slid in the left-right direction to find a position without a trace. 40 is formed along the longitudinal direction, so that the upper opening of the sphere storage tank 12 is not blocked by the movement of the through-hole forming member 32, and the sphere replenishment flow path is formed from above the sphere storage tank 12. It can be exposed to the inside of the tank, eliminating inconveniences such as ball spills and jumps.

Next, an embodiment provided with a front / rear position adjustment mechanism that can also move in the front / rear direction and adjust the laying angle in addition to moving in the left / right direction along the longitudinal direction of the recumbent ridge. Will be described. The reason for adjusting the laying angle is to change the winning rate of the game ball to the winning device such as a winning opening by changing the contact condition between the nail and the game ball planted on the game board. Etc.
The front / rear position adjusting mechanism is provided on the side of the through hole forming member 32 in a state where the male screw shaft 50 is rotatably provided on the slide base member 33 and is screwed to the male screw shaft 50 and cannot move in the front / rear direction. A female screw member 51, and the male screw shaft 50 is rotated to adjust the screwing position with the female screw hole 52 of the female screw member 51 so that the laying angle can be adjusted steplessly. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, it is provided in two places on the left and right of the upper horizontal bar 21a so as to lie in parallel.

  The male screw shaft 50 is inserted from the front to the rear in a loose fitting hole formed in the front surface of the slide base member 33, and the female screw hole 52 of the female screw member 51 is formed in the male screw portion formed in the middle of the axial length direction. , And a tip portion protruding from the female screw member 51 is fastened to a flange-like detachment preventing member 53 provided on the rear surface of the slide base member 33, and the head 50 ′ exposed on the front surface of the slide base member 33. Is rotated by a Phillips screwdriver or the like, the screwing position of the female screw member 51 provided in the middle with respect to the male screw shaft 50 moves back and forth.

  The female screw member 51 is configured to be screwed into the male screw portion of the male screw shaft 50 and not to rotate together with the male screw shaft 50. In the embodiment of the drawings, a female screw hole is formed in a rectangular metal thick plate. 52 established. The front wall 54a is housed in a groove-shaped female screw member storage portion 54 extending in the left-right direction at the bottom of the lower half portion 32b of the through-hole forming member 32, and constitutes the female screw member storage portion 54. The rear wall 54b restricts the movement in the front-rear direction. Note that the left and right lengths of the female screw member storage portion 54 are set such that the female screw member 51 can be stored even when the through-hole forming member 32 is moved in the left-right direction. That is, the dimension is set to be longer than the interval between the engagement recesses 42. Further, even if the relative positions of the male screw shaft 50 and the female screw member 51 and the through hole forming member 32 are changed by moving the through hole forming member 32 in the left-right direction, the male screw shaft 50 slides. The longitudinal direction of the through-hole forming member 32 is arranged on the upper wall portion 32a of the through-hole forming member 32 or the hanging wall portion 55 that is suspended downward from the ceiling surface so as not to move through the inside of the base member 33 in the front-rear direction. And a fitting groove 57 that stabilizes the position by lowering and fitting the male screw shaft 50 to the left and right ends of the adjustment screw insertion portion 56. 54a and the rear wall 54b are semicircularly formed on the upper edges. In the present embodiment, in order to facilitate work when the female screw member 51 is assembled, an elongated through insertion hole 58 is formed on the upper surface of the upper half portion 32a of the through hole forming member 32, and the through insertion hole 58 is formed. The female screw member 51 is inserted into the female screw member storage portion 54 so that the male screw shaft 50 can be screwed into the female screw hole of the female screw member 51.

A procedure for setting the gaming machine 5 having such a configuration to the island facility 1 will be described.
If the gaming machine 5 to be newly replaced is transported from the factory to the gaming store, the front frame 16 is removed from the machine frame 15 in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment. Then, the machine frame 15 is pushed into the installation space 6 of the island facility 1 to adjust the position, specifically, the left and right positions, and the side of the island facility 1 corresponding to the through hole 31 into which the fixture 30 is inserted. It is confirmed whether or not traces (holes) of the fixture 30 used for fixing the gaming machines 5 installed so far do not overlap the fixing members 2 and 3. When installing the gaming machine 5, since normally two fixing tools 30 are used, it is confirmed whether there are two through holes 31 that do not overlap the traces. If they overlap, the use of another through hole 31 is examined, and the examination is repeated until a through hole 31 that does not overlap is found. And even if it examines all the through-holes 31, if it seems to overlap with the trace of the fixture 30 used so far, the game machine 5 is once taken out from the installation space 6 or placed in the installation space 6. In this state, the through hole forming member 32 is slid in the left-right direction to move the position of the through hole 31 by one engagement receiving portion 42 (one notch). In this case, when the through-hole forming member 32 is moved in the left-right direction, the through-hole forming member 32 cannot be slid unless the through-hole forming member 32 is lowered and the engagement protrusion 37 and the engagement receiving portion 42 are disengaged. The forming member 32 is lowered. Then, the male screw shaft 50 rises relatively and moves to the adjustment screw insertion portion 56. In this state, the male screw shaft 50 does not prevent the through hole forming member 32 from moving in the left-right direction. The through-hole forming member 32 can be moved simply by pushing. When the through hole forming member 32 is slid in this manner, any through hole 31 is removed from the trace hole even in the gaming machine 5 of the same manufacturer. And if the through-hole 31 which does not overlap a trace has been confirmed, the fixing tool 30 will be inserted in this through-hole 31, and it will drive in until it can temporarily fix.

  In this state, the laying angle of the gaming machine 5 is not always appropriate. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the head 50 ′ of the male screw shaft 50 exposed on the front surface of the slide base member 33 is rotated using a tool such as a Phillips screwdriver, whereby the position of the upper end of the gaming machine 5 is changed in the front-rear direction. To adjust the laying angle.

  In the embodiment shown in the drawings, since a general right screw is used for the male screw shaft 50, when the male screw shaft 50 is rotated to the right, the female screw member screwed into the male screw portion of the male screw shaft 50 is used. 51 and the head 50 ′ of the male screw shaft 50 are shortened, and the female screw member 51 is moved in the front-rear direction when the through-hole forming member 32 is driven into the upper fixed cross member of the island facility 1 by the fixing tool 30. 17 and 18, the head 50 ′ of the male screw shaft 50 presses the front surface of the slide base member 33 to move backward, and this movement causes the upper end of the gaming machine 5 to move. It moves backward and the laying angle increases.

On the other hand, when the head portion 50 'of the male screw shaft 50 is rotated leftward, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the distance between the female screw member 51 and the stopper member 53 of the male screw shaft 50 is shortened. As a result, the detachment prevention member 53 presses the rear surface of the slide base member 33 forward and moves forward, and this movement moves the upper end of the gaming machine 5 forward and reduces the laying angle. Therefore, when the head of the male screw shaft 50 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise while measuring the angle of the gaming machine 5 by applying a measuring device such as a vertical gauge to the front frame 16 of the gaming machine 5, the upper end of the gaming machine 5 is moved. The game machine 5 can be moved forward or backward so that the laying angle of the gaming machine 5 can be adjusted to just 4 to 5 minutes. Then, when the adjustment of the laying angle of the gaming machine 5 is completed in this way, the fixing tool 30 is securely driven and firmly fixed to the island facility 1.
In addition, when the front / rear position is adjusted by the front / rear position adjustment mechanism, the position of the through hole forming member 32 with the horizontal fixing members 2, 3 of the island facility 1 does not change, and the slide base member 33 moves in the front / rear direction. The front and rear dimensions of the slide opening 35 are set larger than the front and rear dimensions of the projecting portion so that the projecting portion of the through-hole forming member 32 can move within the slide opening 35 without hindrance.

  It should be understood that the above-described embodiment is illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. The present invention is not limited to the above description, but is defined by the scope of the claims, and includes all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the scope of the claims.

For example, in the first embodiment described above, the fixing mechanism is provided only on the upper eyelid, but this fixing mechanism may be provided on the lower eyelid or on both the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid. In the second embodiment, the front / rear position adjusting mechanism is provided only on the upper eyelid, but may be provided on the lower eyelid or on both the upper and lower eyelids. However, when a load is applied to the gaming machine 5, a strong force is required to rotate the male screw shaft 50, so it is preferable to provide only on the upper arm from the viewpoint of operability.
Moreover, although the slide base member 33 has been described with reference to a metal member that also serves as a reed heel body, it may be integrated after being molded separately from the reed body.
Further, a concave chamber-shaped covering portion 59 that is recessed toward the front side (front side) of the gaming machine is provided on the back side of the front frame 16 corresponding to the head 50 ′ of the male screw shaft 50. The cover 59 may cover the head 50 'of the male screw shaft 50 in the closed state, and the head 50' of the male screw shaft 50 may be exposed when the front frame 16 is opened. Thus, since the male screw shaft 50 cannot be operated unless the front frame 16 is opened, it is possible to prevent the male screw shaft 50 from being illegally adjusted to adjust the laying angle of the gaming machine.
