Description

  The present invention relates to a board case for housing a control board on which electronic components for controlling a gaming machine are mounted.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in gaming machines such as pachinko machines, a board case containing a control board for controlling games is installed on the back side of the board surface. For example, in the case of a pachinko machine, various electronic components such as ICs and resistors constituting a control circuit such as a main control device that controls the entire game and a payout control device that controls the ball payout device are mounted on the control board. The board case serves to protect the control board from the outside.

  However, in the hall where such a pachinko machine is installed, there is a problem that the ROM in which the program for determining the big hit etc. by the main controller is illegally replaced, and the hall suffers a great deal of damage. It was. For this reason, in recent years, in order to prevent such an illegal act, a technology has been adopted in which a sealing portion is provided in the substrate case to prevent unauthorized opening. Specifically, a structure in which a board on which various electronic components are mounted is screwed to a base member or a lid member of a substrate case formed in a substantially box shape, and then covered with a lid member and sealed with a sealing portion If you try to replace the ROM illegally by destroying the sealing part, the trace will always remain. The pachinko machine board case is sealed once using this sealing part after manufacturing, but it may be required to be opened by an organization such as the police, so it can be sealed multiple times. .

  In addition, a sealing sticker is applied to the substrate case across the base member and the lid member. If the sealing portion is destroyed and the substrate case is illegally opened as described above, the sealing seal The damage is always left behind. That is, double improper countermeasures are taken for the substrate case by the sealing portion and the sealing seal.

  However, the seal sticker has a fine notch, and when it is peeled off, it will break and leave a trace, but it is only attached to the substrate case with an adhesive, so there are no special tools or chemicals. An illegal act of using a chemical or the like to peel off the seal seal without leaving a trace and re-apply it to the substrate case is conceivable. Therefore, in order to deal with such an illegal act, a technique (hereinafter referred to as a conventional technique) for protecting the sealing seal by attaching a cap that surrounds the sealing seal attached to the substrate case to the substrate case has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2010-167124 A

  However, the above-described prior art is configured such that when the cap is removed from the substrate case, the seal seal is ruptured and the trace is always left. However, the cap is easily provided in the substrate case. . Therefore, in such a prior art, although the trace that the seal seal is broken remains, it is insufficient to solve the problem that the substrate case is opened in a short time and the control substrate is easily replaced. Further, in the prior art, the broken portion of the seal seal appears on the side surface of the board case, so that when the board case is attached to the gaming machine, the broken portion is difficult to see, and as a result, it is noticed that the board case is fraudulent. There is also a risk of delay.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and the object of the present invention is to detect early when fraud is performed while preventing the seal seal from being removed without leaving a trace. It is possible to provide a board case for a gaming machine that can prevent a fraudulent act from being performed on a control board on which electronic components such as a ROM are mounted by extending the time until opening. is there.

In order to solve such a problem, the board case of the gaming machine of the present invention includes a base body attached to the gaming machine and a lid body that covers the base body, as described in claim 1. A board case of a gaming machine that houses a control board on which electronic parts for controlling a game are mounted, wherein the base body moves by a predetermined movement relative to the base body. And a seal seal that is superposed on or detached from the base body and the cover body, and a seal breakage member that covers at least the seal seal and breaks the seal seal is provided. A cover member, and a sealing portion that makes it difficult to separate the superposed base body and lid from each other, and the cover member is formed to cover the sealing portion, and the cover member includes Polymerized base body Is fixed to or removed from the lid by a predetermined means, and when the base is fixed to the base body or the lid, the lid cannot be moved away from the base body. When the fixed cover member is removed from the base body or lid body, the seal seal is broken by the seal breaking member, and the broken portion of the seal seal broken by the seal breaking member is: The gist is that the board case attached to the back surface of the gaming machine is exposed to a position visible from the back side of the gaming machine .

  The board case of the gaming machine according to claim 1 accommodates the control board on which the electronic component is mounted by a base body attached to the gaming machine and a lid body that covers the base body. The lid body is polymerized or detached from the base body by a predetermined movement with respect to the base body, and a sealing seal is applied across a predetermined portion of the polymerized base body and lid body. The board case of the gaming machine of the present invention includes a cover member that covers at least the seal seal and is provided with a seal breaking member that breaks the seal seal. The cover member is a polymerized lid. Alternatively, the base body is fixed or removed by a predetermined means. The cover member prevents the cover member from moving away from the base body in a state where the cover member is fixed to the cover body or the base body. Furthermore, when removing the cover member fixed to the lid or the base body, the seal seal is broken by the seal breaking member.

  Accordingly, in the board case of the gaming machine of the present invention configured as described above, the cover case cannot be opened with respect to the base body unless the cover member is removed. As a result, it takes time to open the substrate case, and it becomes difficult to illegally open the substrate case. It is also possible to prevent the substrate case from being unintentionally opened for some reason.

  Further, in the present invention, since the cover member covers and protects the sealing seal so as not to be exposed, a special tool or chemical is used to peel off the sealing seal without leaving a trace and to reapply it. In this case, the cover member must be removed, and further, if the cover member is removed, the seal seal is broken. Therefore, in the board case of the gaming machine of the present invention configured as described above, it is difficult to perform an illegal act of peeling off the seal seal and attaching it again without leaving a trace from the board case.

Here, it becomes a problem on which surface of the substrate case the broken portion of the seal seal broken by the seal breaking member appears. For example, when a broken portion of the seal seal appears on the side surface side of the board case attached to the gaming machine, the broken portion is difficult to see, and as a result, it may be delayed to notice an illegal act of the board case. In contrast, in the present invention, it is broken portion seals seal is broken by the seal breaking member, so as to be exposed at a position that is visible from the back side of the game machine in the board case attached to the rear surface of the game machine Yes . Therefore, according to the board case of the gaming machine of the present invention configured as described above, the place where the sealing seal is broken can be easily visually recognized from the outside with the board case attached to the gaming machine. It is possible to detect at an early stage that there has been an illegal act against

In the board case of the gaming machine according to the first aspect , the cover member is formed so as to cover the sealing portion that makes it difficult to separate the polymerized base body and the lid from each other. That is, the cover member covers and protects the sealing portion of the substrate case so as not to be exposed. Therefore, in order to open the substrate case illegally, it is necessary to first remove the cover member and then release the sealing portion. As a result, the time required for illegally opening the substrate case becomes longer than the time required for removing the cover member than usual, and the act of illegally opening the substrate case becomes difficult.

In the board case of the gaming machine according to the second aspect , the cover member is fixed to the base body or the lid body superposed by the sealing member. That is, the cover member is fixed to the base body or lid body polymerized by the sealing member so as to seal the substrate case. Therefore, if the substrate case is to be opened illegally, it is necessary to release both the sealing of the substrate case by the cover member and the sealing portion that makes it difficult to separate the polymerized base body and lid from each other. As a result, the time required to open the substrate case illegally becomes longer than usual by the time for releasing the sealing of the substrate case by the cover member, making it difficult to illegally open the substrate case. Further, if the substrate case is illegally opened, a trace remains even when the cover of the substrate case is released by the cover member, so that it is possible to more easily find out that there has been an illegal act on the substrate case. In addition, since the cover member is firmly fixed by the sealing member, the cover member is removed from the substrate case for some reason, thereby preventing a problem that the seal seal is unintentionally damaged by the seal breaking member. can do.

  After the base body 3 and the lid body 5 are overlapped by engaging the slide fixing portion 9 and the slide fixing portion 29, the base body 3 and the lid body 5 are then fixed and the substrate case 1 is sealed. Here, the fixing member 50 used when sealing the base body 3 and the cover body 5 is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 13 is an explanatory view showing the fixing member 50. As shown in FIG. 13, the fixing member 50 includes a one-way screw 27 and a caulking pin 28, and the caulking pin 28 has a flange-like locking portion at the upper end portion of a cylindrical main body 51 having a slightly reduced diameter. 52 is formed, and a slit 53 having a predetermined width along the axis is formed from the center to the lower end thereof. For this reason, the lower part of the crimping pin 28 can be elastically deformed by a predetermined amount in the width direction of the slit 53.

  In addition, a pair of check pieces 54 protruding in the outer diameter direction are provided at the lower end of the main body 51. The check piece 54 is formed in a taper shape whose cross section increases from the lower end side of the caulking pin 28 upward, and the lower end portion forms an insertion portion 54a and the upper end portion forms a locking portion 54b. .

  The one-way screw 27 is screwed into the upper end portion of the caulking pin 28 via a washer 55. Since the outer diameter of the washer 55 is the same as the outer diameter of the upper end surface of the locking portion 52, the surface of the locking portion 52 of the caulking pin 28 is covered with a metal member. ing. As is well known, the one-way screw 27 is a screw configured to be rotatable only in the fastening direction, and once screwed into the locking portion 52, it is possible to reverse this using a tool. It becomes extremely difficult.

  And in order to fix the base body 3 and the cover body 5, it fixes by fixing the fixing member 50 comprised in this way to the cylindrical members 14 and 34. FIG. Here, the sealing structure of the substrate case 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing a state when the base body 3 and the lid body 5 in the CC cross section of the substrate case 1 are fixed and the substrate case 1 is sealed. In FIG. 14, for convenience of explanation, only the configuration of the fixing member 50, the ring 17, and the cylindrical members 14 and 34 is shown, and the cross-sectional line of the fixing member 50 is omitted. The cylindrical member 34 provided on the lid 5 has a cylindrical portion 56 formed in a cylindrical shape and a stepped portion 57 in which the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 56 is reduced. Moreover, the cylindrical member 14 provided in the base body 3 is formed in the bottomed cylindrical shape which makes the cover body 5 side an opening part.

  Between these cylindrical members 14 and 34, as shown in FIG. 14, a ring 17 is mounted coaxially. The ring 17 is for locking the check piece 54 of the fixing member 50, and the outer diameter thereof coincides with the inner diameter of the cylindrical member 14 of the base body 3, and the inner diameter thereof is the cylindrical shape of the lid body 5. The member 34 is formed of a cylindrical body that substantially matches the inner diameter of the stepped portion 57. The ring 17 includes a flange portion 58 provided at one end, and the flange portion 58 is bonded and fixed to the cylindrical member 14 of the base body 3. When the lid 5 is assembled to the base body 3, the cylindrical members 14 and 34 are coaxially arranged, and the communication holes 59 are formed by the cylindrical members 14 and 34 and the ring 17.

  As shown in FIG. 14A, the fixing member 50 has a check piece 54 supported by a stepped portion 57 in the tubular member 34 of the lid 5, and a locking portion 52 supported by the inner wall of the tubular portion 56. In this manner, the standby space 60 formed above the communication hole 59 inside the cylindrical member 34 is temporarily held.

  When the base body 3 and the lid body 5 are sealed, the base body 3 and the lid body 5 are shown in arrows A and B in FIGS. 11A and 11B in a superposed state in which the base body 3 and the lid body 5 are assembled. As described above, a predetermined rod-shaped dedicated tool is inserted into the hole 43 of the caulking cover 40, and the fixing member 50 (one-way screw 27) in the standby state is pressed in the standby space 60 described above, and this is inserted into the communication hole 59. Insert into. Then, as shown in FIG. 14B, the fixing member 50 is inserted into the communication hole 59.

  At this time, the check piece 54 of the fixing member 50 is locked to the end surface of the ring 17, and the locking portion 52 is locked to the stepped portion 57 of the cylindrical member 34 of the lid 5, whereby the fixing member 50 is fixed to the base body. 3 and the lid 5 are fixed to each other in a manner of sandwiching the lid 5 and the substrate case 1 is sealed. When the fixing member 50 is inserted into the communication hole 59, the insertion portion 54a is tapered and the slit 53 is formed. Inserted smoothly. When the check piece 54 passes through the communication hole 59, the lower end portion of the fixing member 50 is elastically restored and the locking portion 54b is locked. Therefore, the fixing member 50 cannot be pulled out in the direction opposite to the insertion direction. It becomes difficult.

  In this sealing operation, among the fixing members 50 arranged in two pairs on the left and right (a total of four), a pair (one or two of the numbers printed on the caulking cover 40) arranged symmetrically. In the case of this embodiment, the sealing can be performed twice in total including the time of shipment of the gaming machine.

  After the base body 3 and the lid body 5 are thus fixed and the substrate case 1 is sealed, the seal cutter 100 is then set on the substrate case 1 as shown in FIG. In order to set the seal cutter 100 on the substrate case 1, the boss 46 a of the lid 5 is inserted into the insertion hole 111 of the engagement ring portion 101, the engagement ring portion 101 is loosely fitted to the boss 46 a, and the base body 3. The base portion 108 is fitted into the gap 20 between the seal sticking surface 10 and the seal sticking surface 22 of the lid 5, and the cutter portion 105 of the seal cutter 100 is disposed in the gap 20.

  In this state, the seal application surface 22 of the lid 5 is exposed through the opening 104 of the seal cutter 100, and the frame member 109 of the seal cutter 100 is disposed so as to substantially surround the seal application surface 22, and its rear surface. The side is in contact with the lid 5. Further, the engagement ring portion 101 is fitted into the notch 47 of the lid body 5, and the left side surface of the cutter portion 105 is in contact with the right side surface of the seal sticking surface 22. Movement of the substrate case 1 in a direction other than the front side direction is restricted with respect to the body 5. Further, in this state, the pointed head 106 of the seal cutter 100 is located slightly on the back side of the substrate case 1 as shown in FIG.

  When the seal cutter 100 is set on the substrate case 1 in this way, the seal seal 45 is then applied. Here, the configuration of the seal seal 45 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the seal seal 45. As shown in FIG. 15A, the seal seal 45 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and as shown in FIG. 15B, an adhesive layer 85 formed of an adhesive and a base material 86 made of special paper are provided. It has a laminated structure. In addition, in a state before sticking, a release paper 87 is attached to the adhesive layer 85, and the release paper 87 is removed when the seal seal 45 is attached.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the seal 88 has an inlet 88 built in over the entire diagonal line. Inside the inlet 88, an IC tag mu chip (IC chip for microminiature wireless recognition) and an external antenna (not shown) are accommodated. The inlet 88 is formed with a plurality of cuts 88a. Therefore, when a force is applied to the inlet 88 in an attempt to peel off the seal seal 45, the inlet 88 is easily cut at the notch 88a. When the inlet 88 is disconnected, the external antenna in the inlet 88 is also disconnected, and the IC tag does not function. That is, if the seal seal 45 is broken, the ID written on the seal seal 45 cannot be read by the IC tag reader.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the adhesive layer 85 and the base material 86 are also provided with cuts 89. When a force is applied to peel off the seal seal 45, the seal seal 45 Easy to tear at parts. Further, as shown in FIG. 15A, the periphery of the seal seal 45 is processed into a waveform. Therefore, when a force is applied to peel off the seal seal 45, the seal seal 45 is easily broken at the valley portion in the corrugation. Further, when the seal seal 45 is once applied and then peeled off, a part of the adhesive layer 85 and the base material 86 is separated, and the separated part remains on the substrate case 1 side.

  The sealing seal 45 configured as described above has a substantially reverse L-shaped right angle with the above-described seal application surface 10 on the right side of the base body 3 and a slight groove-like gap 20 with the seal application surface 10. Attaching as shown in FIG. 4 across the case main body 3 and the lid 5 so as to cover the seal affixing surface 22 of the lid 5 placed on the lid 5, that is, to close the gap 20. In this state, the pointed head 106 of the seal cutter 100 is located slightly on the back side of the substrate case 1 with respect to the seal seal 45 as shown in FIG. Then, the substrate case 1 is sealed by sticking the seal seal 45 across the case body 3 and the lid 5.

  After the sealing seal 45 is attached to the substrate case 1, the protective cover 7 is then assembled to the substrate case 1. First, the protective cover 7 is fixed to the substrate case 1 so that the protective cover 7 is placed on the right end of the substrate case 1 so that the side plate 62, the upper surface plate 63 and the lower surface plate 64 of the protective cover 7 are in contact with the substrate case 1. The protective cover 7 is pressed toward the substrate case 1 as shown in FIG. Then, the locking piece 79 of the protective cover 7 moves while being elastically deformed to the outside of the substrate case 1 by the slit 75, and when the locking piece 79 reaches the locking portion 8 of the substrate case 1, the front plate 61 is moved to the substrate. While being in contact with the case 1, the locking piece 79 is elastically restored and the claw 80 is engaged with the locking portion 8. Thereby, the protective cover 7 is fixed to the substrate case 1 by one touch. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing a state when the protective cover 7 is attached to the substrate case 1.

  Further, when the protective cover 7 is fixed to the substrate case 1 in this way, the cylindrical member 102 of the protective cover 7 and the fixing member 103 of the seal cutter 100 are simultaneously engaged, and the seal cutter 100 is fixed to the protective cover 7. Is done. Here, the structure of the cylindrical member 102 and the fixing member 103 and the engaged state of both will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is an explanatory view showing a state of the fixing member 103 and the cylindrical member 102 when the seal cutter 100 in the AA cross section of the substrate case 1 is fixed to the protective cover 7. In FIG. 17, for convenience of explanation, only the configuration of the cylindrical member 102, the fixing member 103, the ring 112, and the frame member 109 is shown, and the cross-sectional line of the fixing member 103 is omitted.

  The fixing member 103 provided in the seal cutter 100 is formed with a base 117 connected to the frame member 109 and a slit 116 having a predetermined width extending from the base 117 to the tubular member 102 side so as to protrude from the frame member 109. A pair of locking pieces 118 and a pair of cutouts 119 (see FIGS. 8 and 9) cut out in an arc shape in the frame member 109 so as to sandwich the base of the locking piece 118 with the base 117 are provided. . Further, a pair of check pieces 120 protruding in the outer diameter direction are provided at the tip of the locking piece 118. The check piece 120 is formed in a taper shape whose cross section increases from the tip side toward the base portion 117 side, and the tip portion forms an insertion portion 120a and the right end portion forms a locking portion 120b. The fixing member 103 configured in this manner is configured such that the locking piece 118 can be elastically deformed by a predetermined amount in the width direction of the slit 116 by the slit 116 and the notch 119.

  The cylindrical member 102 provided in the protective cover 7 includes a lid portion 113 formed in a disk shape, a cylindrical portion 114 formed in a cylindrical shape, and a step in which the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 114 is increased. Part 115. A ring 112 is coaxially mounted on the cylindrical portion 114 and the stepped portion 115, and this ring 112 is for locking the check piece 120 of the fixing member 50, and is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape as a whole. And fixed to the right end of the cylindrical member 102. The ring 112 includes a main body 112a and a flange portion 112b, and the flange portion 112b matches the inner diameter of the step portion 115 so that the outer diameter of the main body 112a matches the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 114. Each is formed. Further, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 17A, the inner diameter of the ring 112 is formed to be slightly larger than the interval between the insertion portions 120a at the distal ends of the pair of check pieces 120. When fixed to the protective cover 7, a hole 121 serving as a passage for the locking piece 118 of the fixing member 103 is formed.

  When the seal cutter 100 and the protective cover 7 configured as described above are pressed against the substrate case 1 as shown by an arrow E in FIG. 16, the cylindrical member 102 of the protective cover 7 is changed to the state shown in FIG. As indicated by arrow F in (A), the seal cutter 100 moves to the fixing member 103 side. Then, the locking piece 118 of the fixing member 103 is inserted into the hole 121, and the check piece 120 of the fixing member 103 is locked to the end surface of the main body 112a of the ring 112 as shown in FIG. Thus, the cylindrical member 102 and the fixing member 103 are engaged, and the seal cutter 100 is fixed to the protective cover 7 with one touch.

  When the fixing member 103 is inserted into the hole 121, the insertion portion 120a is tapered, and the slit 116 and the notch 119 are formed, so that the locking pieces 118 are close to each other. It is smoothly inserted into the hole 121 while being bent. When the check piece 120 penetrates the hole 121, the locking piece 118 is elastically restored and the locking portion 120b is locked. Therefore, it is impossible to pull out the fixing member 50 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction. Become.

  When the protective cover 7 is fixed to the substrate case 1, the cylindrical member 69 and the hole 72 of the protective cover 7 are positioned coaxially with the boss 46 b and the boss 46 a of the substrate case 1. Then, the one-way screw 73 as described above is screwed into the cylindrical member 69 and the boss 46b with an exclusive tool as shown by the arrow C in FIG. 11C, and the screw 74 is inserted into the hole 72 and the boss 46a. Is securely attached to the substrate case 1 and the substrate case 1 is sealed.

  In a state where the protective cover 7 is attached to the substrate case 1, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the protective cover 7 substantially matches the shape of the right end portion of the substrate case 1, and the sealing seal protective plate of the protective cover 7 is used. 65 protects the seal seal 45 so as to be sandwiched between the seal application surface 22 of the substrate case 1, and the seal seal protective plate 76 of the protective cover 7 sandwiches the seal seal 45 between the seal application surface 10 of the substrate case 1. It comes to protect. In this state, the sealing seal protective plate 76 of the protective cover 7 and the seal sticking surface 10 of the base body 3 are engaged, and the sliding of the base body 3 and the lid body 5 is restricted. Further, the sealing portion protection plate 67 of the protective cover 7 contacts the caulking cover 40 of the substrate case 1 to protect the fixing member 50 and the cylindrical members 14 and 34 that seal the substrate case 1.

  Further, the restriction plate 66 of the protective cover 7 contacts and engages with the lower guide member 41 to restrict the slide between the base body 3 and the lid body 5, that is, the slide fixing portion 9 and the lid body of the base body 3. 5 so that the engagement with the slide fixing portion 29 is not released. That is, in the state where the protective cover 7 is attached to the substrate case 1, the protective cover 7 is fixed to the base body 3 because the locking piece 79 engages with the locking portion 8 of the base body 3. In this state, even if the lid body 5 is slid leftward with respect to the base body 3 and the substrate case 1 is to be opened, the lid body 5 is caught by the restricting plate 66, and accordingly, the lid body 5 with respect to the base body 3. Cannot be slid. This is the same even if the one-way screw 73 and the screw 74 are not screwed into the protective cover 7. That is, the substrate case 1 of the present embodiment restricts the sliding of the base body 3 and the lid body 5 and prevents the substrate case 1 from being opened in a state where the protective cover 7 is attached.

4). Release of sealing of the substrate case 1 In order to release the sealing state of the substrate case 1 attached to the pachinko machine 96, first, the back cover 97 superimposed on the upper right side of the protective cover 7 is rotated or removed. Then, the entire substrate case 1 is exposed. Then, as shown in FIG. 18, the pair of support arms 71 (shaded portions in FIG. 18A) of the protective cover 7 are cut with a tool such as a nipper. FIG. 18 is a front view of the substrate case 1 when the protective cover 7 is attached and an explanatory view showing a state when the sealing of the substrate case 1 is released. A tool such as a nipper can easily cut the support arm 71 by inserting a blade edge into the space formed by the notch 70 of the protective cover 7 and the notch 47 of the lid 5. When the support arm 71 is cut, the tubular member 69 is separated from the protective cover 7, and the separated tubular member 69 is attached only to the lid 5 by the one-way screw 73.

  After the support arm 71 is cut, the screw 74 is removed with a tool such as a screwdriver. The order may be changed so that the support arm 71 is cut after the screw 74 is removed. Then, the protective cover 7 is removed from the substrate case 1 by releasing the engagement state between the locking piece 79 of the protective cover 7 and the locking portion 8 of the base body 3. At this time, the protective cover 7 is attached to the substrate case 1 as shown by an arrow D in FIG. The protective cover 7 is removed from the substrate case 1 so as to be pulled to the front side. FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram showing a state when the protective cover 7 is removed from the substrate case 1.

  Thus, when the protective cover 7 is removed from the substrate case 1, the seal cutter 100 fixed to the protective cover 7 also moves together with the protective cover 7 as shown in FIG. 19. Then, as shown in FIG. 20, the seal cutter 100 breaks the sealing seal 45 that is pasted across the case main body 3 and the lid body 5. FIG. 20 is an explanatory view showing a state when the seal seal 45 is broken.

  That is, when the protective cover 7 is removed from the substrate case 1, the cutter portion 105 of the seal cutter 100 disposed in the gap 20 is blocked across the seal application surface 10 of the base body 3 and the seal application surface 22 of the lid 5. The seal sticker 45 attached in this way (see FIG. 5) is a pointed head provided in the cutter unit 105 when the cutter unit 105 of the seal cutter 100 disposed in the gap 20 moves as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 20 (A), the portion corresponding to the gap 20 is broken at the 106 and the blade portion 107 from the back side. Note that reference numeral 130 in FIG. 20A denotes a seal fracture portion of the seal seal 45.

  Here, the location where the seal fracture portion 130 is exposed is the location corresponding to the gap 20 as described above, and this location of the seal fracture portion 130 is the front side of the substrate case 1 as shown in FIG. It can be easily visually recognized. Therefore, when the protective cover 7 is removed from the substrate case 1, the sealing seal 45 is broken, and the broken portion (seal rupture portion 130) can be easily visually recognized from the outside. can do.

  When the protective cover 7 is removed from the substrate case 1, next, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the support arm 35 exposed from the caulking cover 40 of the lid 5 (FIG. 10A). ) And (B) are cut with a tool such as a nipper. A tool such as a nipper can easily cut the support arm 35 by inserting the cutting edge into the space by the storage space 36 of the lid 5. When the support arm 35 is cut, the tubular member 34 is separated from the lid 5, and the separated tubular member 34 is attached only to the base body 3 by the fixing member 50.

  In this state, the engagement piece 12 shown in FIG. 2 is disengaged from the pachinko machine 96, and the substrate case 1 is rotated about the hinge 11 to expose the back side of the substrate case 1. Then, as shown in FIGS. 10C and 10D, the support arm 15 of the base body 3 (the hatched portion in FIGS. 10C and 10D) is cut with a tool such as a nipper. A tool such as a nipper can easily cut the support arm 15 by inserting the cutting edge into the space by the storage space 16 of the base body 3. When the support arm 15 is cut, the cylindrical member 14 is separated from the base body 3, whereby the cylindrical member 14, the cylindrical member 34, and the fixing member 50 remain in the state shown in FIG. It is completely separated from 1 and removed.

  Then, the lid body 5 is slid with respect to the base body 3, and the engagement between the slide fixing portion 9 and the slide fixing portion 29 is released, whereby the lid body 5 is detached from the base body 3. Thereby, the sealing state of the substrate case 1 is completely released.

  The sealing of the substrate case 1 can be released by rotating or removing the back cover 97 superimposed on the upper right end of the protective cover 7 and removing the substrate case 1 from the pachinko machine 96, and then protecting it according to the above. After removing the cover 7 from the substrate case 1, the support arm 35 and the support arm 15 may be cut off.

5. Effects of Substrate Case 1 in the Present Embodiment (1) The protective cover 7 is formed by screwing a one-way screw 73 into the cylindrical member 69 of the protective cover 7 and the boss 46b of the lid body 5 so that the hole 72 and the lid of the protective cover 7 are covered. Screws 74 are screwed into the bosses 46a of the body 5 to be attached to the lid body 5, and the locking pieces 79 of the protective cover 7 are engaged with the locking portions 8 of the base body 3 to engage the base body. 3 is attached. That is, the protective cover 7 is attached to the substrate case 1 by the sealing members (the cylindrical member 69, the boss 46b, and the one-way screw 73) so as to seal the substrate case 1. Accordingly, if the substrate case 1 is illegally opened, the sealing of the substrate case 1 by the protective cover 7 is released, and the sealing portions (fixing members 50, 50) provided on the base body 3 and the lid body 5 are released. It is necessary to release the ring 17 and the cylindrical members 14, 34). As a result, the time required for illegally opening the substrate case 1 becomes longer than usual by the time for releasing the sealing of the substrate case 1 by the protective cover 7, and the act of illegally opening the substrate case 1 becomes difficult. Become. Further, if the substrate case 1 is illegally opened, a trace remains when the sealing of the substrate case 1 by the protective cover 7 is released, so that it is possible to easily find out that there has been an illegal act on the substrate case 1.

  (2) The protective cover 7 protects the seal seal protection plate 65 so that the seal seal 45 is sandwiched between the seal application surface 22 of the lid 5 and the seal seal protection plate 76 seals the seal seal 45 to the base body 3. It protects so that it may pinch | interpose with the sticking surface 10. FIG. That is, the protective cover 7 covers and protects the sealing seal 45 attached to the substrate case 1 across the base body 3 and the lid body 5 so as not to be exposed. In addition, the seal cutter 100 is fixed to the protective cover 7, and when the protective cover 7 is removed from the substrate case 1, the sealing seal 45 is broken by the cutter portion 105 (the pointed head portion 106 and the blade portion 107) of the seal cutter 100.
