  On the other hand, the end of the connecting piece 75 on the side where the claws 78, 79, 74 are provided faces the main body 15 so that the outer peripheral surface 75c provided with the claws 74 faces the inner peripheral surface 24 side of the receiving component 20a. It is inserted into the provided receiving component 20a. At this time, the claws 78 and 79 slide along the grooves 26 and 27 formed in the receiving component 20a, respectively, and the claws 74 slide along the inner peripheral surface 24 of the receiving component 20a. . When the claws 78 and 79 reach the position where the step portions 30 and 31 are provided, a pressing force is applied to the claws 78 and 79, the claws 78 and 79 bend, and the connection pieces 75 are dented toward the outer peripheral surfaces 75b and 75d. It becomes a state. When the connecting pieces 78, 79 are further pushed into the receiving component 20a from this state, the claws 78, 79 eventually get over the stepped portions 30, 31.

  When the connecting piece 75 is pushed in until the claws 78 and 79 exceed the step portions 30 and 31, the pressing force acting on the claws 78 and 79 is released, and the claws 78 and 79 are moved outside the connecting piece 75 by elastic force. Return to the protruding state. Thereby, the nail | claws 78 and 79 will be in the state engaged with the step parts 30 and 31, and a connection structure is formed in the said site | part. As a result, the connecting piece 75 is fitted into the receiving component 20a and cannot be removed. In this way, when the connecting piece 75 is engaged with the receiving portion 80a configured by the combination of the receiving components 20a and 50a, the main body 15 is connected by the connecting piece 75 interposed between the receiving components 20a and 50a. The cover 16 and the cover 16 cannot be separated from each other, and the case main body 11 is sealed (hereinafter also referred to as a first sealed state).

  Further, when the connecting piece 75 is inserted into the receiving component 20a as described above, the claw 74 provided on the connecting piece 75 eventually becomes the abutting portion of the claw 38 provided on the outer peripheral surface 33 of the receiving component 20a. It hits 38a. Thereafter, when the connecting piece 75 is further pushed toward the bottom surface 25 side of the constituent portion 20a, the claw 74 slides toward the bottom surface 25 side along the inclination of the contact portion 38a. Thereby, a pressing force acts on the contact portion 38a from the claw 74. The claw 38 is affected by the pressing force and bends toward the outside of the receiving component 20a with the fixed end 38c as a fulcrum. Thereby, the protrusion part 38b of the nail | claw 38 will be in the state protruded toward the outer side from the outer peripheral surface 33 of the receiving structure part 20a.

  When the case body 11 is in the first sealed state as described above, the control device 10 is fixed to the base S provided on the upper side of the housing 2a. Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the pedestal S is a pedestal having a substantially rectangular shape in front view and slightly larger than the case main body 11. At one end side in the longitudinal direction of the pedestal S, a receiving portion engaging member 90 having a substantially “U” shape in front view is provided. Four receiving portion engaging members 90 are provided corresponding to the receiving portions 80 a to 80 d provided on the case main body 11 (hereinafter also referred to as receiving portion engaging members 90 a to 90 d). The pedestal S is provided with two side engaging members 91. The receiving portion engaging members 90a to 90d are provided at positions where the receiving portions 80a to 80d of the case body 11 arrive when the control device 10 is installed on the base S, respectively. The side engaging members 91 and 91 are provided at positions where the engaging claws 43 and 43 provided on the side surfaces 40c and 40d of the cover 16 constituting the case main body 11 arrive.

  Each of the receiving portion engaging members 90a to 90d stands substantially perpendicular to the base S. The receiving portion engaging members 90a to 90d have different sizes according to the receiving portions 80a to 80d, and are arranged in a line corresponding to the positional relationship of the receiving portions 80a to 80d. Each receiving portion engaging member 90a to 90d is provided with an engaging concave portion 93 (an engaged portion).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the insertion opening 92 is provided on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the base S. The insertion opening 92 has an opening width that is approximately the same as the width of the case main body 11 (the length in the short direction), and the end of the case main body 11 on the side where the hinge 14 is provided can be inserted. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the control device 10 takes a posture in which the surface on the main body 15 side of the case main body 11 constituting the substrate case C faces the pedestal S side, and receives the receiving portions 80 a to 80 d on the receiving portion engaging members 90 a to 90 d. After setting the posture along 80d, the end of the case main body 11 on the hinge 14 side is fitted into the fitting opening 92 so that the base S is installed. As a result, the end of the case main body 11 on the hinge 14 side is fitted into the fitting opening 92 with almost no gap, and the case main body 11 is supported. On the other hand, as described above, in the first sealing state, among the receiving portions 80a to 80d, in the receiving portion 80a forming the connection structure, the claw 38 protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface 33. The part 38b protrudes. Therefore, when the receiving portions 80a to 80d are pushed in along the receiving portion engaging members 90a to 90d provided on the base S when the substrate case C is fixed, the protruding portion 38b of the claw 38 protruding from the receiving portion 80a receives the receiving portions 80a to 80d. It engages with an engaging recess 93 provided in the portion engaging member 90a. Also, the receiving portions 80b to 80d excluding the receiving portion 80a are different from the receiving portion 80a in that the claws 38 do not protrude. Therefore, when the substrate case C is fixed, the receiving portions 80b to 80d are guided by the receiving portion engaging members 90b to 90d and reach a predetermined position. Furthermore, the engaging claws 43 and 43 on the side surfaces 40c and 40d of the case body 11 engage with the side engaging members 91 and 91 of the base S, respectively. As a result, the substrate case C of the control device 10 is positioned and fixed with respect to the base S.

  After performing the maintenance etc. of the control apparatus 10 after being fixed to the pedestal S as described above, the substrate case C is removed from the pedestal S. When removing the substrate case C in the first sealed state, a portion corresponding to the receiving portion 80a in which a connecting structure is formed is cut from the case body 11. Thereby, the engagement between the substrate case C and the base S at the position corresponding to the receiving portion 80a is released. Specifically, as described above, the connection state between the substrate case C and the pedestal S is that the end portion on the hinge 14 side of the case main body 11 is fitted in the fitting opening 92 and the receiving portions 80b to 80d. It is configured only by being guided by the engaging members 90b to 90d. In other words, it is simply positioned. Therefore, the substrate case C can be removed from the base S by cutting only one receiving portion 80a. Further, when the receiving portion 80a is cut, the other receiving portions 80a to 80d are merely in a state in which the receiving components 20b to 20d and the receiving components 50b to 50d are in contact with each other, so that the case body 11 can be opened. Become. Therefore, the case main body 11 can be opened only by cutting one receiving part 80a. In other words, the substrate case C and the pedestal S can be detached and the substrate case C itself can be unsealed simultaneously by cutting only one receiving portion 80a to 80d in which the connection structure is formed. Further, when the portion corresponding to the receiving portion 80a is cut for opening, a connecting body 85 as shown in FIG. 3B is formed. More specifically, the receiving components 20a and 50a constituting the receiving portion 80a are connected to the housing portion 17 and the cover lid portion 40, which are the main parts of the main body 15 and the cover 16, via the connecting portions 18 and 51, respectively. . Therefore, by disconnecting the connecting portions 18 and 51 that connect the receiving components 20a and 50a, a portion corresponding to the receiving portion 80a becomes independent from the case main body 11. Thereby, the connection body 85 is formed.

  Here, in the 1st sealing state, the connection structure is formed in the receiving part 80a, and, thereby, the case main body 11 is sealed. However, in the remaining receiving portions 80 (hereinafter also referred to as receiving portions 80b to 80d), no connection structure is formed, and the receiving configuration portions 20b to 20d and the receiving configuration portions 50b to 50d are in a state of abutting each other. Only. Therefore, when the receiving portion 80a is cut, the case main body 11 can be opened (hereinafter also referred to as a second opened state).

  The connecting body 85 formed as described above has a shape that makes the connecting piece 75 one size larger, and can be used as a member for sealing the case body 11 in the second opened state. it can. Specifically, the connecting body 85 is in a state where the connecting piece 75 is used as a core, and the parts corresponding to the receiving components 20a and 50a are engaged around the connecting piece 75. Therefore, the connecting body 85 has an outer shape larger than the connecting piece 75 by the amount of the receiving components 20a and 50a, and is a size that fits almost inside the receiving portion 80b. Moreover, the connection body 85 has the claws 37 and 38 in the part equivalent to the receiving structure part 20a, and has the claws 69, 70, and 71 in the part corresponding to the receiving structure part 50a. The positional relationship between the claws 37 and 38 and the claws 69, 70 and 71 is the same as the positional relationship between the claws 74 and 76 to 79 of the connection piece 75 included in the connection body 85. Therefore, in the same manner that the connecting piece 75 can be fitted and engaged with the receiving portion 80a, the connecting body 85 is fitted into the receiving portion 80b remaining on the case body 11 side in the second opened state. Can be engaged.

  Therefore, when the case body 11 is sealed in the second opened state, the connecting body 85 formed when the first opened state is fitted in the smallest receiving portion 80b among the remaining on the case body 11 side. Include. At this time, the receiving component 20a side portion constituting the outer shell of the connecting body 85 is fitted into the receiving member 50b constituting the receiving portion 80b, and the receiving structure constituting the outer shell of the connecting member 85. The portion on the part 50a side is fitted into the receiving component 20b. The claws 37 and 38 on one end side (the receiving component 20a side) of the connecting body 85 get over the step portions 62 and 63 formed in the receiving component 50b, and the other end side (the receiving component 50a) of the connecting body 85. When the connecting body 85 is inserted until the claws 70 and 71 on the side) get over the stepped sections 30 and 31 formed in the receiving structure 20b, the connecting body 85 engages with the receiving structures 20b and 50b. A connection structure is formed inside the receiving portion 80b. Further, when the coupling body 85 is fitted into the receiving portion 80b in order to reseal the case main body 11, the claw 38 provided on the receiving component 20b is pushed outward by the claw 69 provided on the coupling body 85. It will be in a protruding state. As a result, the case main body 11 is sealed in the receiving portion 80b (hereinafter also referred to as a second sealed state).

  Here, when the case main body 11 is in the second sealed state as described above, the claw 38 protrudes outward only in the receiving portion 80b, and other receiving portions 80c, which remain without being cut, At 80d, the claw 38 does not protrude. Further, in the second sealed state, the receiving portion 80a is cut, so that the receiving portion 80a used for fixing the case body 11 in the previous first sealed state and the nail formed on the receiving portion 80a. 38 does not exist. Therefore, in the second sealing state, the claw 38 protrudes outward only in the receiving portion 80b. Therefore, when the substrate case C of the control device 10 is fixed to the base S in the same manner as in the first sealed state described above, the claw 38 protruding from the receiving portion 80b is engaged with the receiving portion engaging member 90b. Engages with the recess 93. On the other hand, the other receiving portions 80c and 80d remaining without being cut from the case main body 11 are guided by the receiving portion engaging members 90c and 90d when the board case C is fixed because the claw 38 does not protrude. To the position. Further, the engaging claws 43, 43 provided on the case body 11 engage with the side engaging members 91, 91 provided on the base S. As a result, the substrate case C of the control device 10 is positioned and fixed with respect to the base S.

  Even after fixing the case body 11 in the second sealed state to the pedestal S, the case body 11 sequentially opens and seals the case body 11 and removes it from the pedestal S by the same method as described above. Can do. Specifically, the case body 11 in the second sealed state is in an opened state (hereinafter also referred to as a third opened state) by cutting the receiving portion 80b where the connection structure is formed. it can. In addition, the receiving portion 80b (hereinafter also referred to as a connecting body 86) cut when the third unsealed state is set is slightly larger than the connecting body 85 described above, and has the same positional relationship as the connecting piece 75 and the connecting body 85. Thus, the claws 37 and 38 and the claws 69 to 71 protrude outward. Therefore, the case body 11 can be sealed by fitting the coupling body 86 into the receiving portion 80c remaining in the case body 11 in the third opened state. Further, when the case body 11 is sealed in this manner (hereinafter also referred to as a third sealed state), the claw 38 of the receiving portion 80c protrudes outward. Therefore, in the third sealing state, the claw 38 of the receiving portion 80c can be engaged with the engaging recess 93 provided in the receiving portion engaging member 90c, and the case member C can be positioned and fixed.

  Similarly, the case body 11 in the third sealed state can be opened (hereinafter also referred to as a fourth opened state) by cutting the receiving portion 80c. Then, the portion corresponding to the receiving portion 80c cut when the fourth unsealed state is brought into engagement with the receiving portion 80d remaining in the case main body 11 when the case main body 11 is next sealed. It can utilize as the coupling body 87 for making it. Further, in a state where the connecting body 87 is fitted into the receiving portion 80d and the case main body 11 is sealed (hereinafter also referred to as a fourth sealing state), the nail provided in the receiving portion 80d by the nail 69 of the connecting body 87. 38 is extruded from the inside to the outside. When the case member C in the fourth sealing state is fixed to the pedestal S, the claw 38 engages with an engagement concave portion 93 of a receiving portion engaging member 90 provided corresponding to the receiving portion 80d. The case member C in the fourth opened state is in a state where the case main body 11 is opened by removing the part corresponding to the receiving portion 80d after being removed from the pedestal S (hereinafter also referred to as a fifth opened state). Can do.

  As described above, the substrate case C shown in the present embodiment is in each of the first to fourth sealing states, and the claws 38 protrude from the receiving portions 80a to 80d in which the connection structure is formed. . Therefore, when the substrate case C is fixed to the pedestal S, the claw 38 protruding toward the outside among the claw 38 provided in each of the receiving portions 80a to 80d is engaged with the engaging recess 93 of the receiving portion engaging member 90. The substrate case C can be firmly fixed to the pedestal S simply by fitting them together. For this reason, the board case C is more easily attached to the pedestal S than when it is screwed or the like as in the prior art.

In the substrate case C described above, the claw 38 that can be engaged by forming a connection structure for sealing the case body 11 can be effectively used to fix the substrate case C to the base S. For fixing to the base S, it is not necessary to separately prepare parts such as screws. Therefore, if the board case C described above is employed, the number of parts of the gaming machine 1 can be minimized and the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine 1 can be reduced accordingly.
Moreover, as above-mentioned, in the board | substrate case C employ | adopted with the gaming machine 1, the connection piece 75 and the connection bodies 85-87 are connected with respect to the receiving parts 80a-80d, and the case main body 11 is made into a sealing state. As a result, the claw 38 protrudes to the outside of the receiving portions 80a to 80d and can be engaged with the receiving portion engaging members 90a to 90d of the base S. Therefore, in the gaming machine 1, when the case main body 11 is not sealed, the claw 38 does not protrude outside the receiving portions 80a to 80d and engages with the receiving portion engaging members 90a to 90d of the base S. I can't. Therefore, in the gaming machine 1, the substrate case C can be normally fixed to the base S only after the case body 11 is sealed. Therefore, in the gaming machine 1, it is possible to prevent the case main body 11 from being installed without being sealed.

  In addition, as described above, the case body 11 of the substrate case C employed in the present embodiment includes the receiving portions 80a to 80d remaining in the case body 11 in the first to fourth sealing states. When the structure in which the connection structure is formed is cut, the case main body 11 is in the second to fifth opened states, and the maintenance of the substrate 12 accommodated therein can be performed. Moreover, about the receiving parts 80a-80c cut | disconnected from the case main body when it is set as the 2nd-4th open state, even if it does not disassemble | disassemble in particular, the connection bodies 85-87 for sealing the case main body 11 as it is next. Can be used as

  In other words, the case main body 11 is provided with a plurality of (four in this embodiment) receiving portions 80, and the n receiving portions 80 remaining without being cut in the case main body 11 are connected inside. By cutting the piece 75 and the connecting body 85 to 87 that form a connection structure, the number of the receiving portions 80 remaining in the case body 11 is reduced by the number m of the cut receiving portions 80, and the case The main body 11 is ready to be opened. Further, by cutting the receiving portion 80 for opening the case body 11, any one of the coupling bodies 85 to 87 can be formed. Then, the case body 11 is sealed again by engaging the newly formed coupling bodies 85 to 87 with corresponding ones of the n receiving portions 80 remaining in the case body 11. Can be stopped. Therefore, the substrate case C of the control device 10 can easily and smoothly open and seal the case body 11. In the above-described embodiment, an example in which four receiving portions 80 are provided is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is only necessary to provide a plurality of receiving portions 80.

  Further, as described above, the substrate case C uses the connecting bodies 85 to 87 formed when the case main body 11 is opened and the connecting piece 75 included in the connecting body 85 as it is for the next sealing operation. There is no need to discard, disassemble, collect, etc. Therefore, the substrate case C determines whether or not the connecting bodies 85 to 87 formed by cutting from the case body 11 when the user performs maintenance or the like of the control device 10, or disassembles the connecting bodies 85 to 87. There is no need to collect and work efficiency such as maintenance is high.

  The substrate case C starts with the connecting body 75 used for the first sealing state, and the cross-sectional area and the size of the outer shape of the connecting bodies 85 to 87 used for sealing the case main body 11 sequentially. growing. Specifically, when the first sealing state is set, only the connecting piece 75 is fitted into the receiving portion 80a, but the connecting bodies 85 to 87 used to set the second to fourth sealing states are The receiving components 20a to 20c and the receiving components 50a to 50c are engaged with the outer periphery of the connecting piece 75 in a multiple manner. Therefore, as opening and sealing of the case main body 11 are repeated, the cross-sectional area and outer shape of the connecting piece 75 and the connecting body 85 used for sealing increase in order.

  On the other hand, the size of the internal space of the receiving portions 80a to 80d into which the connecting piece 75 and the connecting bodies 85 to 87 are fitted, that is, the opening area of the receiving components 20a to 20d and the receiving components 50a to 50d and the size of the internal space. In addition, the cross-sectional area and the size of the outer shape of the connecting piece 75 and the connecting body 85 are sequentially increased. In other words, each of the receiving portions 80a to 80d has a different size of the internal space, and the size of the internal space is such that the receiving portion 80 (80a to 80c) is large enough to fit the connecting piece 75 and the connecting bodies 85 to 86. And a connecting body 85 to 87 that is newly formed by cutting a portion corresponding to the receiving portion 80 (corresponding to the receiving portions 80a to 80c). There is a receiving portion 80 (corresponding to receiving portions 80b to 80d) of a possible size. Therefore, when sealing the case main body 11 of the substrate case C, the user determines the size of the internal space and the size of the opening area from the receiving portions 80a to 80d provided in a plurality (four in this embodiment). What is necessary is just to select what corresponds to the magnitude | size of the coupling bodies 85-87. Therefore, in the control apparatus 10, when sealing the case main body 11 of the substrate case C, it is possible to prevent the user from being confused about selecting the receiving portions 80a to 80d into which the connecting piece 75 and the connecting bodies 85 to 87 are to be fitted. The working efficiency of the sealing operation of the case body 11 can be improved.

  Further, with the above-described configuration, in the case C, when the case main body 11 is sealed, the receiving portions 80a to 80d into which the connecting piece 75 and the connecting bodies 85 to 87 should be fitted can be specified. It is possible to prevent the connecting piece 75 and the connecting bodies 85 to 87 from being fitted into the wrong receiving portions 80a to 80d. Therefore, according to the above-described configuration, the receiving portions 80a to 80d are arranged so that the case body 11 can be sealed at an optimal place in the first to fourth sealing states in consideration of the strength of the case body 11 and the like. be able to.

  The substrate case C has a hinge 14 integrally formed on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the case main body 11, thereby connecting the main body 15 and the cover 16. Therefore, the substrate case C can be sealed simply by engaging the connecting pieces 75 and the connecting bodies 85 to 87 with the receiving portions 80a to 80d provided on the other end side in the longitudinal direction. In addition, in the said embodiment, although the structure sealed by connecting the one end side of the case main body 11 with the hinge 14 was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this. Specifically, a portion corresponding to the receiving portion 80 is also provided in the portion of the case body 11 where the hinge 14 is provided, and a connection structure using the receiving portions 80 is formed and sealed at both ends of the case body 11. It is good also as a structure. Moreover, when it is set as such a structure, about the thing equivalent to the receiving part 80 provided in the hinge 14 side, the nail | claw 32 which protruded in the part in which the connection structure was formed similarly to the receiving parts 80a-80d engages. It is good also as providing the receiving part engaging member 90 and the engaging recessed part 93 as possible, and making it engage with the base S side in the both ends of the case main body 11. FIG. The position where the receiving portion 80 is provided is not limited to the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the case main body 11, and may be a position corresponding to one end side or both end sides in the width direction (short direction). .

  In the said embodiment, the nail | claw 38 provided in each receiving part 80a-80d protrudes outside by fitting the connection piece 75 and the connection bodies 85-87 in the receiving parts 80a-80d, and this is provided in the base S side. Although the structure which can be engaged with the engagement recessed part 93 of the received receiving part engaging members 90a-90d was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this. Specifically, in the above-described embodiment, when the coupling piece 75 or the coupling bodies 85 to 87 are fitted into the receiving portions 80a to 80d, the claw 38 protrudes outward as described above, instead of the receiving portions 80a to 80d. It is good also as a structure in which a recessed part, a groove | channel, etc. are formed. In the case of such a configuration, instead of providing the engaging recess 93 on the receiving portion engaging members 90a to 90d side, by providing a protrusion or a claw that can be engaged with the recessed portion or groove on the receiving portion 80a to 80d side. Similarly to the above embodiment, the substrate case C can be fixed to the base S with an appropriate strength.

However, the present invention is limited to this. is not. Specifically, in place of the claws 76 to 79, the claws 37 and 38, and the claws 70 and 71, concave portions and holes are provided, but the step portions 30 and 31 and the step portions 62 and 63 are replaced with the aforementioned concave portions and holes. It is good also as a structure which provided the processus | protrusion and nail | claw which match. Moreover, it replaces with the step parts 30 and 31 and the step parts 60 and 61 in the receiving part 80, and the structure which provided the hole, nail | claw, protrusion, etc. which the nail | claws 76-79, the nail | claws 37 and 38, and the nail | claws 70 and 71 engage. It is good.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the structure which integrates by the connection structure formed by engagement with the connection piece 75 or the connection bodies 85-87, and each receiving part 80 and sealed the case main body 11 of the substrate case C was illustrated. However, the form in which the connection structure is formed in the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the connection structure may be formed by fitting or other forms. Moreover, in the said embodiment, in each receiving part 80, although the receiving structure 20 and 50 was arrange | positioned and engaged in the nested shape, this invention is not limited to this, Other forms The connection structure may be formed by engagement or the like.

  The substrate case C described above is provided with a plurality of (four in this embodiment) receiving portions 80a to 80d having different sizes on the case body 11, and a connecting piece 75 is fitted into the receiving portion 80a to form a connecting structure. The case main body 11 can be resealed by using the coupling bodies 85 to 87 formed by cutting the ones formed by cutting the receiving portions 80a to 80c, but the present invention is limited to this. Is not to be done. Specifically, as in a substrate case D shown in FIG. 11, a plurality of receiving portions 80 a having the same size in which the connecting piece 75 can be fitted into the case main body 11 may be provided. In the substrate case D having such a configuration, the case main body 11 can be sealed by fitting and connecting the connecting piece 75 to one of the receiving portions 80a remaining when the case main body 11 is sealed. . Further, even in the case of such a configuration, the claw 38 protrudes outward only in the receiving portion 80a in which the connecting piece 75 is engaged to form the connecting structure. For this reason, the substrate case D can be obtained with an effect that the substrate case D can be fixed to the pedestal S with an appropriate strength as in the case where the above-described substrate case C is employed.

  In the substrate case D shown in FIG. 11, the receiving portion 80a and the connecting piece 75 having the same size are used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the connecting pieces 75 having different sizes are used. It is also possible to adjust the size of the receiving portion 80a according to the size of each connecting piece 75.
