  An outer frame of such a gaming machine using a metal material such as aluminum is required by making the frame body of each side into a rectangular tube shape or by making the cross section of the frame body U-shaped. Although the weight is reduced while maintaining strength, the outer frame of a gaming machine usually has a depth of about 10 cm, a width of about 45 cm, and a height of about 75 cm. Large, especially the volume of space.

  For this reason, when storing the outer frame manufactured at the manufacturing factory that manufactures the outer frame, or when transporting the manufactured outer frame to a gaming machine manufacturer or the like, even if the outer frames are stacked and stored, There was a problem that required a lot of storage space and cargo space for transportation.

  Therefore, conventionally, in an outer frame of a pachinko gaming machine, each corner portion at four corners and a horizontal frame member and a vertical frame member that slidably connect each corner portion are provided, and each side portion can be expanded and contracted. A frame device is proposed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 3.

When transporting or storing the outer frame, the horizontal or vertical sides of the outer frame are shrunk so as to be shortened, and when used as an outer frame of a pachinko gaming machine, the horizontal or vertical sides are It is a structure that extends to a predetermined length.

  However, since this outer frame device has a structure in which each side portion can be expanded and contracted by slidably inserting a horizontal frame member or a vertical frame member into each corner portion of the four corners formed in a hollow shape, Even if the horizontal or vertical sides are shrunk shortly during transportation or storage, the shortening rate of the horizontal or vertical length is only about 2/3 due to the structure, and the volume of the entire outer frame device is also reduced. There was a problem that the space volume was large.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and as a foldable structure, the storage space or the load space can be greatly reduced during storage or transportation, and the gaming machine can stably store and stack. An object is to provide a frame device.

  This frame device is formed as an outer frame of a pachinko gaming machine, and a front frame is mounted on the front side of the outer frame through an upper hinge metal part 31 and a lower hinge metal part 32 so that the front frame can be opened and closed. A locking device (not shown) is attached. A metal fitting 37 to which the hook of the locking device is locked is fixed at a predetermined position inside the second vertical side frame 4.

  In addition, when this frame device is used as an outer frame of a pachinko gaming machine, it is installed on an island of a game hall, and the upper side frame 1 and the lower side frame 2 are fixedly attached to the upper and lower mounting frames of the island. 8 and 9, long holes 1a and 2a for fixing the frame device to the island of the game hall are formed in the middle part of the upper side frame 1 and the lower side frame 2, and a metal fixing plate is provided inside thereof. 38 is inserted.

  Next, a usage mode of the frame device having the above-described configuration will be described. This frame device is configured to be foldable as described above, and when used as an outer frame of a gaming machine, it is expanded into a rectangular frame shape as shown in FIG.

  When the frame device expanded in a rectangular shape is folded, first, the curtain plate 9 is removed from the lower part of the front, and the obtuse hinges 20, 20 in the second upper corner portion 6 and the first lower corner portion 7 as shown in FIG. Remove the clamp 25 of the clamp. At this time, as shown in FIG. 21A, first, the fastening lever 26 of the tightening clamp 25 is rotated to rotate the hooking member 27 to the outside of the first rotating member 21 of the obtuse angle hinge 20. .

  At this time, the hook member 27 rotates beyond the dead point on the line connecting the hook pin 27a, the first pivot 28a and the second pivot 28b, and the latch pin 27a of the hook member 27 and the latch portion 24 are locked. The locking of the groove 24a is released, and the hook pin 27a is removed from the locking groove 24a as shown in FIG. At this time, the first rotating member 21 of the obtuse hinge 20 of the second upper corner portion 6 and the first lower corner portion 7 can slide in the longitudinal direction, and the first vertical side frame as shown in FIG. 3 and the second vertical side frame 4 are operated so as to be pulled out to both sides.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 22, the first rotating member 21 of the obtuse hinge 20 of the second upper corner portion 6 and the first lower corner portion 7 is pulled out by a predetermined length in both longitudinal directions. By pulling out the obtuse hinge 20 to the outside of the first rotating member 21, a gap is generated between the end of the upper side frame 1 and the end of the second vertical side frame 4, and the end of the lower side frame 2 and the first A gap is generated at the end of the vertical side frame 3 so that the obtuse hinge 20 of the second upper corner portion 6 and the first lower corner portion 7 is rotatable from a right angle to about 180 degrees.

  Next, the lock pins 14 of the acute angle hinges 10 and 10 of the first upper corner portion 5 and the second lower corner portion 8 are opposed to the urging force of the leaf spring 15 by the finger or the like to the back side of the guide groove 11b. It moves, the engagement of the latching | locking part 12b of the 2nd rotation member 12 and the lock pin 14 is cancelled | released, and the lock | rock of the 2nd rotation member 12 by the lock pin 14 is cancelled | released. Thereby, each acute angle hinge 10 of the 1st upper corner | angular part 5 and the 2nd lower corner | angular part 8 has the state which the 1st rotation member 11 and the 2nd rotation member 12 can rotate from a right angle to an acute angle side. Become.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), when a light force is applied in a direction in which the frame device is folded obliquely from above, the acute angle hinges 10 and 10 of the first upper corner portion 5 and the second lower corner portion 8 are changed from a right angle to an acute angle. 24, the obtuse hinges 20 and 20 of the second upper corner portion 6 and the first lower corner portion 7 start to turn from a right angle to the obtuse angle side as shown in FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (a), when force is further applied in the direction of folding the rectangular frame, the acute angle hinges 10 and 10 of the first upper corner portion 5 and the second lower corner portion 8 are placed on the acute angle side in FIG. The obtuse hinges 20 and 20 of the second upper corner part 6 and the first lower corner part 7 are further rotated to the obtuse angle side as shown in FIG. Finally, as shown in FIG. 18B, the acute angle hinge 10 and the obtuse angle hinge 20 are rotated until the side surface of the upper side frame 1 comes into contact with the side surface of the first vertical side frame 3, and the lower side frame 2 The acute angle hinge 10 and the obtuse angle hinge 20 are rotated until the side surface thereof contacts the side surface of the second vertical side frame 4 to be folded.

  In this way, the frame apparatus first removes the clamps of the tightening clamps 25 at the obtuse angle hinges 20 of the second upper corner portion 6 and the first lower corner portion 7, and the second upper corner portion 6 and the first lower corner portion 7. The first rotating member 21 of the obtuse angle hinge 20 is pulled out by a predetermined length, and the lock pins 14 of the acute angle hinges 10 and 10 of the first upper corner portion 5 and the second lower corner portion 8 are manually moved. It can be folded by a simple operation of moving and releasing the engagement with the locking portion 12b of the second rotating member 12 and applying light force in the direction of folding the frame.

  At this time, the upper side frame 1, the lower side frame 2, the first vertical side frame 3, and the second vertical side frame 4 are folded into a rod shape or a belt plate shape as shown in FIG. When storing frame devices manufactured at manufacturing factories or the like that manufacture frames, they can be folded into bars or strips, which can be easily stacked and stored, and rectangular frame devices can be stored as they are Compared to the above, it is possible to store a large number of frame devices in a very small storage space.

  Also, when transporting frame devices manufactured at outer frame manufacturing factories to game machine manufacturers, etc., they are folded into a rod shape and loaded and transported. Compared to the case, it is possible to greatly reduce the load space during transportation, and greatly improve the transportation efficiency of the frame device.

  On the other hand, when the folded frame device is a rectangular frame, the second upper corner 6 is lifted upward. At this time, the frame device has an obtuse angle hinge 20 of the second upper corner portion 6, a first angle corner hinge 10 of the first upper corner portion 5, and an acute angle hinge 10 of the second lower corner portion 8 widening the acute angle. 1 The obtuse hinge 20 of the lower corner 7 is rotated so as to close the obtuse angle, and from the rod shape of FIG. 18B through the rhombus of FIG. 18A and FIG. 17B, as shown in FIG. A square shape.

  In this state, the acute angle hinge 10 of the first upper corner portion 5 and the acute angle hinge 10 of the second lower corner portion 8 are the second when the angle of the first rotation member 11 and the second rotation member 12 becomes a right angle. The locking portion 12b of the rotating member 12 is automatically locked to the lock pin 14 and is held at a right angle.

  On the other hand, in the obtuse angle hinge 20 of the second upper corner part 6 and the obtuse angle hinge 20 of the first lower corner part 7, the first rotating member 21 drawn out to the outside is the end part of the upper side frame 1 or the lower side frame 2. The hook pin 27a of the hook member 27 of the tightening clamp 25 is hooked into the lock groove 24a of the lock portion 24 as shown in FIG. When the tightening lever 26 of the tightening clamp 25 is operated so as to be placed inside the first rotating member 21, the first rotating member 21 of the obtuse hinge 20 is drawn into the end of the upper side frame 1 or the lower side frame 2. Clamped to the side and clamped.

  When the obtuse hinge 20 is opened from the right angle to the side that expands the angle, a gap is inevitably formed in the abutting portion of the upper side frame 1 and the second vertical side frame 4 and the abutting portion of the lower side frame 2 and the first vertical side frame 3. However, the gap is formed when the obtuse hinge 20 is pulled out from the side frame, and the folding operation is performed without any problem. When the frame device is expanded into a rectangular frame, the obtuse angle clamp 25 is used by the tightening clamp 25. Since the number 20 is drawn into the side frame and tightened, the gap between the side frames is eliminated by the tightening operation of the tightening clamp 25. Further, since the side frames are fastened and fixed by the tightening clamp 25, the shape when the frame device is expanded to a square shape can be firmly held, and rattling that tends to occur at each corner can be prevented.

  Further, when the tightening clamp 25 is tightened with the frame device as a rectangular frame, and the upper side frame 1 and the second vertical side frame 4 and the lower side frame 2 and the first vertical side frame 3 are in a right angle state, the tightening lever of the tightening clamp 25 26 and the hooking member 27 are housed inside the first rotating member 21 or the second rotating member 22 of the obtuse angle hinge 20, and the obtuse angle hinge 20 includes the upper side frame 1, the second vertical side frame 4, the lower side frame 2, Since it is housed in the corners of the first vertical side frame 3, the tightening clamp 25 does not get in the way when used as a frame of the frame device, and it is also housed inside and folded when the frame device is folded. It does not hinder the operation.

  In this way, the rod-shaped rectangular frame is expanded to make each corner have a right angle, the first rotating member 21 of the obtuse hinge 20 is pushed into the ends of the upper side frame 1 and the lower side frame 2, and the tightening clamp 25 is operated. By the simple operation of fastening and fixing the first rotating member 21 of the obtuse hinge 20 in the side frame, the folded frame device can be returned to the use state of the rectangular frame.

  It is used as an outer frame of a pachinko machine that has been returned to a square frame. In this case, the frame device is an upper and lower wooden mounting frame provided on the island of the game hall as shown in FIGS. It is installed between 45 and 45.

And the metal fixing plate 38 is inserted and attached in the upper side frame 1 and the lower side frame 2 so that the both-side edge part may be slidably engaged with the guide grooves 1b and 2b on both sides.

  Therefore, when the frame device as the outer frame of the pachinko gaming machine is mounted between the island mounting frames 45, 45, the metal fixing plate 38 is fixed to the fixing hole 38a and the long holes 1a, 2a as shown in FIGS. The fixing screw (wood screw) 39 is inserted into the upper hole frame of the fixing hole 38a of the metal fixing plate 38 or the long holes 1a, 2a of the lower frame 2, and the fixing screw 39 is further moved. The frame device is mounted by screwing the tip of the frame into the upper and lower mounting frames 45. Even if the wooden mounting frame 45 provided on the island varies in size and shape, the metal fixing plate 38 is slid to change the position of the metal fixing plate 38 to a desired position, thereby making the gaming machine easier. Can be attached to an amusement island. The upper side frame 1 and the lower side frame 2 of the frame device are formed of a metal having a relatively low strength such as aluminum. However, if the metal fixing plate 38 is formed of a steel plate, the upper side frame 1 and the lower side frame 2 made of aluminum are used. Compared with the case where the frame is directly screwed to the mounting frame of the island, the mounting strength of the frame device can be significantly improved.
