Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a gaming machine mounting device for mounting a pachinko machine or other gaming machine to a preformed outer frame. [Background technology]

[0002] An example of such a game machine mounting device is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-148486 (Patent Document 1). FIG. 71 is a schematic side view of the game table mounting device 10 described in the same publication. Pachinko parlors and other gaming facilities are provided with frames (commonly called "islands") in which multiple pachinko machines and other gaming machines are fixedly attached. For example, when a pachinko machine is replaced with a new one, the old machine is removed from the frame and the new machine is attached to the frame in its place. As shown in FIG. 71, an outer frame 20 consisting of an upper outer frame 20a and a lower outer frame 20b is formed in advance in a pachinko parlor. The pachinko machine 5 is made up of a pachinko machine main body 1 and a base frame 2. The base frame 2 is a frame-like structure made up of an upper frame 2a, a lower frame 2b, and a pair of side plates 2c that connect the ends of the upper frame 2a and the lower frame 2b. The base frame 2 is assembled to the back side of the pachinko machine main body 1 via hinges 2d at the upper frame 2a and the lower frame 2b, and is integrated with the pachinko machine main body 1.

[0003] The game machine mounting device 10 consists of an upper mounting device 30 and a lower mounting device 50. The pachinko machine 5 is fitted between the upper outer frame 20a and the lower outer frame 20b and is fixed to the upper outer frame 20a via the upper mounting device 30 and to the lower outer frame 20b via the lower mounting device 50. Although Figure 71 shows one upper mounting device 30 and one lower mounting device 50, in reality, two upper mounting devices 30 and two lower mounting devices 50 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper in Figure 71. The lower frame 2b is placed on the lower outer frame 20b, while there is a slight gap (gap S in FIG. 29, which will be described later) between the upper frame 2a and the upper outer frame 20a. This is because the height of the pachinko machine 5 differs depending on the model, and the distance between the upper outer frame 20a and the lower outer frame 20b is set to be large so that any model can be inserted.

[0004] The upper mounting device 30 includes a slide base 31, a planar base rail 32, and a grip mechanism 40. The slide base 31 has a vertical surface 31b, and the slide base 31 is screwed to the rear surface of the upper outer frame 20a via the vertical surface 31b. The base rail 32 is fixedly attached below the slide base 31, and the base rail 32 is inserted into the gap between the upper frame 2a and the upper outer frame 20a and screwed to the bottom surface of the upper outer frame 20a near its tip (the left end in Figure 71). In this manner, the upper mounting device 30 is fixedly attached to the upper outer frame 20a by being screwed to the upper outer frame 20a at the vertical surface 31b of the slide base 31 and the base rail 32. The gripping mechanism 40 is fixedly attached to the base rail 32 below the base rail 32. The gripping mechanism 40 includes a pivotable lever 43 and a pivotable gripping arm 36 operatively attached to the lever 43.

[0005] When the lever 43 is pressed down, the tip of the grip arm 36 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the upper frame 2a, thereby pressing the upper frame 2a upward. As a result, the upper frame 2a (and thus the pachinko machine 5) is fixed to the upper outer frame 20a. The structure of the lower mounting device 50 is merely symmetrical to the structure of the upper mounting device 30 in the vertical direction, and in principle they are the same structure. The lower frame 2b is fixed to the lower outer frame 20b via a lower mounting device 50. As described above, the pachinko machine 5 is fitted between the upper outer frame 20a and the lower outer frame 20b, and then fixed to the upper outer frame 20a via the upper mounting device 30 and to the lower outer frame 20b via the lower mounting device 50, and is fixed as a whole to the outer frame (island) 20. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2009-148486 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, the conventional game table mounting device 10 shown in FIG. 71 has the following problems. The first problem is that the fixing of the pachinko machine 5 to the upper outer frame 20a and the lower outer frame 20b is not reliable. With respect to the upper mounting device 30, the pachinko machine 5 is fixed to the upper outer frame 20a via the lever 43 and the grip arm 36. However, if a force is applied to the lever 43 in an unintended direction, there is a risk that the grip arm 36 will come off the upper frame 2a, and no means for preventing this is provided in the game table mounting device 10. The same applies to the lower mounting device 50.

[0008] The second problem is that of the integrity of the upper and lower outer frames 20a and 20b. As described above, when fixing the pachinko machine 5 to the upper outer frame 20a, it is necessary to screw the vertical surface 31b of the slide base 31 and the base rail 32 to the upper outer frame 20a. For this reason, it is necessary to make holes for screws in the upper outer frame 20a. For example, when updating a pachinko machine 5, it may be necessary to change the mounting position of the upper mounting device 30 in order to maintain the pachinko machine 5 in the proper position, and each time the mounting position of the upper mounting device 30 is changed, a new hole must be drilled in the upper outer frame 20a. In this way, if new holes are drilled in the upper outer frame 20a every time the mounting position of the upper mounting device 30 is changed, the upper outer frame 20a will become full of holes, reducing its strength as a frame.

[0009] The same is true for the lower mounting device 50. The present invention has been made in consideration of the problems with the conventional gaming machine mounting device 10 as described above, and has an object to provide a gaming machine mounting device that can securely fix a pachinko machine 5 to the upper outer frame 20a and the lower outer frame 20b, and that can fix the pachinko machine 5 to the upper outer frame 20a and the lower outer frame 20b without drilling holes in the upper outer frame 20a and the lower outer frame 20b.

[0024] First Embodiment Hereinafter, a game table attachment device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment, a pachinko table 5 (shown in FIG. 71) is used as an example of a game table. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a pachinko machine 5 (see FIG. 71) is fixed to an outer frame 20 via a game machine mounting device 100. FIG. The game machine mounting device 100, like the conventional game machine mounting device 10, comprises a lower mounting device 600 that fixes the pachinko machine 5 to the lower outer frame 20b, and an upper mounting device 700 that fixes the pachinko machine 5 to the upper outer frame 20a. In the pachinko parlor, an outer frame 20 consisting of an upper outer frame 20a and a lower outer frame 20b is formed in advance, and the pachinko machine 5 is fitted between the upper outer frame 20a and the lower outer frame 20b, and then fixed to the upper outer frame 20a via an upper mounting device 700 and to the lower outer frame 20b via a lower mounting device 600. In this specification, the front of the lower mounting device 600 and the upper mounting device 700 refers to the direction viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 5 (the direction viewed from the right in Figure 1), and the back of the lower mounting device 600 and the upper mounting device 700 refers to the direction viewed from the rear of the pachinko machine 5 (the direction viewed from the left in Figure 1).

[0025] Fig. 2 is a right side view of the lower mounting device 600, Fig. 3 is a rear view of the lower mounting device 600, Fig. 4 is a front view of the lower mounting device 600, Fig. 5 is a plan view of the lower mounting device 600, and Fig. 6 is a bottom view of the lower mounting device 600. Furthermore, Figs. 7 to 10 are perspective views of the lower mounting device 600 as viewed from four different directions, and Fig. 11 is an exploded perspective view showing each component of the lower mounting device 600. The lower mounting device 600 includes, for example, a lower base plate 610, a lower auxiliary plate 620, a lower mounting body 630, and a lower mounting plate 640, as shown in FIG. As described below, the combined structure of the lower base plate 610, the lower auxiliary plate 620 and the lower mounting body 630 forms a main body structure 600A as a single block, and the lower mounting plate 640 is configured to be removable from this main body structure 600A. The lower base plate 610 comprises a main body base plate 611, a pair of first bent plates 612 extending perpendicularly from the main body base plate 611, and a second bent plate 613 extending perpendicularly from the upper edge of the main body base plate 611 in the same direction as the first bent plates 612.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 3, the main body base plate 611 has, for example, a first base plate portion 611A having a horizontally long rectangular shape, and a second base plate portion 611B having a horizontally long rectangular shape, a width (horizontal length in FIG. 3) shorter than that of the first base plate portion 611A, and continuing to the first base plate portion 611A at the upper edge thereof. The pair of first bent plates 612 each extend from an upper edge of the first base plate portion 611A on either side of the second base plate portion 611B. The second bent plate 613 extends from an upper edge of the second base plate portion 611B. Each of the pair of first bent plates 612 has the same length as the second bent plate 613 . The first base plate portion 611A has three through holes 611a formed in a straight line in the horizontal direction (left and right direction in Figure 11), each of the pair of first bent plates 612 has two through holes 612a formed in a straight line in the vertical direction (direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction), and the second bent plate 613 has four through holes 613a formed at each vertex of a square.

[0027] As shown in Figure 11, the lower auxiliary plate 620 comprises a first plate portion 621, a pair of second plate portions 622 extending downward from both sides of the first plate portion 621, and a pair of third plate portions 623 extending outward parallel to the first plate portion 621 from each end (the lower ends in Figure 11) of the pair of second plate portions 622. FIG. 12 is a plan view of the lower auxiliary plate 620. As shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 12, the length of the side edge of the first plate portion 621 (the length in the vertical direction in Figure 12) is longer than the length of the side edge of each third plate portion 623, and the first plate portion 621 is positioned in a straight line with the side edge of each third plate portion 623 at one side edge (the left edge in Figure 11, the upper edge in Figure 12) and protrudes from each third plate portion 623 at the other side edge (the right edge in Figure 11, the lower edge in Figure 12). Four through holes 621a are formed at each vertex of the square in the first plate portion 621, and two through holes 623a are formed in a straight line in each of the third plate portions 623. The height of each of the pair of second plate portions 622 is equal to the interval between each of the first bent plates 612 and the second bent plate 613 of the lower base plate 610, and furthermore, the first plate portion 621 has the same shape as the second bent plate 613. Therefore, the lower auxiliary plate 620 can be overlapped on the lower base plate 610 from above (for example, see Figs. 7 and 8). When the lower auxiliary plate 620 is overlapped on the lower base plate 610, each through hole 621a of the first plate portion 621 overlaps with each through hole 613a of the second bent plate 613, and each through hole 623a of each third plate portion 623 overlaps with each through hole 612a of each first bent plate 612.

[0028] The lower attachment body 630 includes a base plate 631 and a pair of identical columnar bodies 632 that extend upward from the base plate 631 and have a hexagonal cross section. FIG. 13 is a side view of the lower mounting body 630. The base plate 631 includes two flat plate portions 631A and a protruding portion 631B formed between the two flat plate portions 631A and protruding upward. A rectangular parallelepiped space is formed inside protruding portion 631B, and a magnet (not shown) is disposed inside protruding portion 631B in a state fixed to the inner wall of protruding portion 631B. Each of the pair of pillars 632 is fixed at its lower end to each of the two flat plate portions 631A. Furthermore, the two flat plate portions 631A of the base plate 631 are fixed, for example, by welding, to positions on the first plate portion 621 of the lower auxiliary plate 620 so as not to interfere with the through holes 621a. At this time, a straight line passing through the respective axes of the pair of columnar bodies 632 is arranged in a direction parallel to the side edge of the first plate portion 621 (the vertical direction in FIG. 12).

[0029] The lower mounting plate 640 is made of metal (a metal that is attracted to a magnet, such as iron). The lower mounting plate 640 is made of a rectangular flat plate, and adjacent to one end (for example, the lower end in FIG. 5), five through holes 640a are formed at each vertex and the center of a square, and a plurality of through holes 640b are formed adjacent to the through holes 640a. The multiple through holes 640b are formed at equal intervals in a straight line in the length direction of the lower mounting plate 640, and their diameters are set to a size that allows the columnar bodies 632 to fit into them. The distance between the centers of adjacent through holes 640b is equal to half the distance between the centers of a pair of columnar bodies 632. For this reason, for example, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, two columnar bodies 632 are adapted to fit into every other through hole 640b, that is, into the through holes 640b on both sides of any one through hole 640b. FIG. 14 is a side view showing the state in which the lower mounting device 600 is mounted to the lower outer frame 20b and the lower frame 2b, and FIGS. 15 and 16 are perspective views of FIG.

[0030] The lower mounting device 600 is used as follows. First, the lower auxiliary plate 620 is screwed to the lower base plate 610 . Next, the lower base plate 610 is fixed to the side surface (the surface positioned in the vertical direction in FIG. 14) of the lower outer frame 20b with screws via the three through holes 611a of the first base plate portion 611A (see FIG. 3). 14 and 15, a pair of columnar bodies 632 are fitted into any two through holes 640b of the lower mounting plate 640. As a result, the lower mounting plate 640 is attracted to a magnet (not shown) disposed inside the protruding portion 631B of the lower mounting body 630, and the lower mounting plate 640 is removably connected to the lower mounting body 630, and therefore to the lower auxiliary plate 620 and the lower base plate 610, and comes into contact with the upper surface of the lower frame 2b. Depending on which through hole 640b is selected, the relative position of the lower mounting plate 640 to the lower support plate 620 and the lower base plate 610 changes, so that the through hole 640b and the pillar 632 function as positioning members for the lower mounting plate 640 to the lower support plate 620 and the lower base plate 610.

[0031] Thereafter, if necessary, the lower mounting plate 640 is screwed to the upper surface of the lower frame 2b via the through holes 640a of the lower mounting plate 640. In the manner described above, the lower frame 2b (and thus the pachinko machine 5) can be attached to the lower outer frame 20b via the lower attachment device 600. According to the lower mounting device 600 of this embodiment, the position of the through hole 640a relative to the lower frame 2b can be changed by selecting the through hole 640b into which the pair of columnar bodies 632 are fitted. Therefore, it is possible to perform screw fastening to the lower frame 2b through the through hole 640a at a new location, avoiding the location of the lower frame 2b where a hole has already been drilled. The lower mounting device 600 in this embodiment may additionally include an adjustment bolt 250 as an optional component. 11, the adjustment bolt 250 is made up of a rod-shaped body 251 and a knob 252 attached to one end of the rod-shaped body 251. At least a part of the rod-shaped body 251 is provided with a male thread (not shown). When using the adjustment bolt 250, two screw holes 611b (see FIG. 11) are formed in the second base plate portion 611B, and the male thread portion of the rod-shaped body 251 is screwed into one of the screw holes 611b.

[0032] When knob 252 is rotated in one direction (for example, clockwise), rod-shaped body 251 moves forward, and when knob 252 is rotated in the opposite direction (counterclockwise), rod-shaped body 251 moves backward. As shown in Figures 15 and 16, after attaching the lower mounting device 600 to the lower outer frame 20b and the lower frame 2b, the knob 252 is rotated in one direction to bring the tip of the rod-shaped body 251 into contact with one end of the lower frame 2b, thereby preventing the lower frame 2b (and thus the pachinko machine 5) from moving backward (moving to the left in Figure 15). Alternatively, by moving the rod-shaped body 251 forward, it is also possible to move the lower frame 2b (and thus the pachinko machine 5) forward (to the right in FIG. 15). Although two screw holes 611b are formed in the second base plate portion 611B, it is possible to provide only one of the screw holes 611b (for example, the screw hole 611b on the right side in FIG. 11). However, by providing two screw holes 611b, it is possible to select the one that is convenient for attaching the adjustment bolt 250.

[0033] In the lower mounting device 600 of this embodiment, the lower base plate 610 is screwed to the lower outer frame 20b via the through hole 611a of the first base plate portion 611A, but for example, by providing an extension plate extending from the lower end of the first base plate portion 611A in the same direction as the second bent plate 613, it becomes possible to sandwich the lower outer frame 20b between this extension plate and a pair of first bent plates 612, making it possible to eliminate the need for screwing to the lower outer frame 20b. In this case, the upper surface of the extension plate abuts against the lower surface of the lower outer frame 20b. In the lower mounting device 600, instead of the lower mounting plate 640, a lower mounting plate (similar to the upper mounting plate 741 shown in Figure 32 described later) having two rows of through holes 640b and four pillar-shaped bodies 632 can be used. If necessary, it is possible to omit the lower auxiliary plate 620. In this case, the lower attachment body 630 is attached directly onto the second bent plate 613 of the lower base plate 610. Next, the upper mounting device 700 will be described below.

[0034] Fig. 17 is a right side view of the upper mounting device 700, Fig. 18 is a rear view of the upper mounting device 700, Fig. 19 is a front view of the upper mounting device 700, Fig. 20 is a plan view of the upper mounting device 700, and Fig. 21 is a bottom view of the upper mounting device 700. Furthermore, Figs. 22 to 25 are perspective views of the upper mounting device 700 as viewed from four different directions, and Fig. 26 is an exploded perspective view showing each component of the upper mounting device 700. The upper mounting device 700 includes, for example, an upper base plate 710, an upper mounting body 720, an upper auxiliary plate 730, and an upper mounting plate 740, as shown in FIG. As described below, the combined structure of the upper base plate 710, upper mounting body 720 and upper auxiliary plate 730 forms a main body structure 700A as a single block, and the upper mounting plate 740 is configured to be removable from this main body structure 700A. The upper base plate 710 comprises an upper base plate main body 711 and an upper base plate bent portion 712 extending from one end of the upper base plate main body 711 (the lower end in FIG. 26) at a right angle to the upper base plate main body 711.

[0035] Upper base plate main body 711 has two through holes 711a formed in a horizontal line, and upper base plate bent portion 712 has a total of six through holes 712a formed at each apex of two triangles. 27 and 28 are perspective views of upper mount 720. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 26 to 28, the upper attachment body 720 includes a first member 721, a second member 722, and four identical columnar bodies 723 each having a hexagonal cross section. The first member 721 is formed by bending a single plate material, and includes an upright portion 721A, a pair of side wall portions 721B extending perpendicularly to the upright portion 721A from both side edges of the lower half of the upright portion 721A, and a pair of lower wall portions 721C extending inward (in opposite directions) from the lower edges of each side wall portion 721B (see Figure 28). Two through holes 721a are formed in the upright portion 721A in a straight line in the horizontal direction, and the distance between the centers of the two through holes 721a is equal to the distance between the centers of the two through holes 711a formed in the upper base plate main body 711.

[0036] The second member 722 comprises a flat first portion 722A and a second portion 722B having a width (length in the left-right direction in Figure 28) shorter than that of the first portion 722A and extending upward from one side of the first portion 722A in an inclined state (see Figure 27). 28, the flat first portion 722A is fixed to the pair of lower wall portions 721C while being placed on the pair of lower wall portions 721C. The second portion 722B is positioned opposite the upright portions 721A. As shown in Fig. 28, two of the four pillars 723 are fixed to the lower surface of one of the pair of lower wall portions 721C and extend downward, and the remaining two of the four pillars 723 are fixed to the lower surface of the other of the pair of lower wall portions 721C and extend downward. The line connecting the axes of the two pillars 723 fixed to one of the lower wall portions 721C is parallel to the line connecting the axes of the two pillars 723 fixed to the other of the lower wall portions 721C, and further, the distance between the axes of the two pillars 723 fixed to one of the lower wall portions 721C is equal to the distance between the axes of the two pillars 723 fixed to the other of the lower wall portions 721C. That is, the four pillars 723 are arranged so that their axes are located at the vertices of one square.

[0037] The upper auxiliary plate 730 comprises a rectangular, flat bottom plate 731, a pair of upright walls 732 standing upright from both edges of the bottom plate 731 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a pair of side walls 733 standing upright from both edges of the bottom plate 731 parallel to the longitudinal direction. A magnet (not shown) is fixedly attached to the bottom plate 731 in a recess surrounded on three sides by the bottom plate 731, a pair of upright walls 732, and a pair of side walls 733. The upper auxiliary plate 730 is attached to the bottom side of the first portion 722A of the second member 722 by screwing it through through holes 732a formed in each upright wall 732 and through holes 722a formed in each side wall portion 721B of the first member 721. The upper mounting plate 740 is made of metal (a metal that is attracted to a magnet, such as iron). The upper mounting plate 740 is made of a rectangular flat plate, and five through holes 740a are formed adjacent to one end (the right end in FIG. 26) at the center and four corners of a square, and a plurality of through holes 740b are formed at equal intervals in a straight line in the length direction of the upper mounting plate 740 at positions away from the through holes 740a.

[0038] The diameter of each through hole 740b is set to a size that allows the columnar bodies 723 to fit into it. The distance between the centers of adjacent through holes 740b is equal to half the distance between the axial centers of a pair of columnar bodies 723. Therefore, for example, as shown in Figures 24 and 25, two columnar bodies 723 fit into every other through hole 740b, that is, into the through holes 740b on both sides of any one through hole 740b. FIG. 29 is a side view showing the state in which the upper mounting device 700 is mounted to the upper outer frame 20a and the upper frame 2a, and FIGS. 30 and 31 are perspective views of FIG. The upper mounting device 700 is used as follows. First, the upper auxiliary plate 730 is screwed to the upper mounting body 720 . Next, the upper base plate 710 and the upper attachment body 720 are screwed to the upper outer frame 20a via the two through holes 711a of the upper base plate main body 711 and the two through holes 721a of the upright portion 721A (see Figs. 29 and 30). As a result, as shown in Fig. 29, the upper surface of the upper base plate bent portion 712 of the upper base plate 710 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the upper outer frame 20a in the gap S (see Fig. 29) between the upper outer frame 20a and the upper frame 2a, and supports the bottom surface of the upper outer frame 20a.

[0039] Next, the through holes 740b of the upper mounting plate 740 are fitted into two pillar-shaped bodies 723 fixed to one of the pair of lower wall portions 721C so that the longitudinal direction of the upper mounting plate 740 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the upper base plate bending portion 712 of the upper base plate 710, as shown in Figures 25 and 29. The upper mounting plate 740 is removably attracted to a magnet arranged inside the upper auxiliary plate 730, and thus comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper frame 2a and supports the upper frame 2a, as shown in Fig. 29. In this state, the upper mounting plate 740 is screwed to the lower surface of the upper frame 2a via the through holes 740a of the upper mounting plate 740. In the manner described above, the upper frame 2a (the pachinko machine 5) can be attached to the upper outer frame 20a via the upper attachment device 700. According to the upper mounting device 700 of this embodiment, the position of the through hole 740a relative to the upper frame 2a can be changed by selecting the through hole 740b into which the pair of columnar bodies 723 are fitted. Therefore, it is possible to perform screw fastening to the upper frame 2a through the through hole 740a at a new location, avoiding the location of the upper frame 2a where a hole has already been drilled.

[0040] The upper mounting device 700 of this embodiment can also use the adjustment bolt 250. When using the adjustment bolt 250, as shown in FIG. 26, a screw hole 721b is formed in the second part 722B of the second member 722 of the upper mounting body 720, and a through hole 721c is formed in the upright part 721A of the first member 721, and the male threaded portion of the rod-shaped body 251 of the adjustment bolt 250 is passed through the screw hole 721b, and the tip of the rod-shaped body 251 is passed through the through hole 721c (see FIG. 29). In the upper mounting device 700 of this embodiment, the upper base plate 710 and the upper mounting body 720 are screwed to the upper outer frame 20a via the two through holes 711a of the upper base plate main body 711 and the two through holes 721a of the upright portion 721A, but for example, by providing an extension extending from the upper end of the upper base plate main body 711 in the same direction as the upper base plate bending portion 712, it is possible to eliminate the need for screwing to the upper outer frame 20a. In other words, since the upper outer frame 20a is sandwiched between this extension and the upper base plate bending portion 712, it is not necessary to screw to the upper outer frame 20a. In this case, the lower surface of the extension abuts against the upper surface of the upper outer frame 20a.

[0041] FIG. 32 is a perspective view of one variation of the upper mounting plate 740. Although the through holes 740b formed in the upper mounting plate 740 used in the upper mounting device 700 are in a single row, it is also possible to use an upper mounting plate 741 in which the through holes 740b are formed in two rows, as shown in Fig. 32. If the through holes 740b are formed in two rows, all of the four columnar bodies 723 will fit into the through holes 740b, making it possible to more firmly mount the upper mounting plate 741 to the main body structure 700A. Similarly to the upper mounting plate 740 shown in FIG. 32, two rows of through holes 640b can be formed in the lower mounting plate 640 of the lower mounting device 600.

[0042] Second Embodiment FIG. 33 is a partially exploded perspective view of an upper mounting device 800 constituting a game table mounting device according to the second embodiment, and FIG. As shown in Figures 33 and 34, the upper mounting device 800 comprises an upper mounting body 810, an upper cover 820, an auxiliary plate 830, a magnet mounting block 840, an upper mounting plate 850, and a plurality of pillar-shaped bodies 860, and may additionally comprise an adjustment bolt 250 as an optional component, as in the first embodiment. The combined structure of the upper mounting body 810, upper cover 820, auxiliary plate 830 and magnet mounting block 840 forms the main body structure 800A as a single block, and as described below, the upper mounting plate 850 is configured to be removable from this main body structure 800A. Figure 35 is a side view of the upper mounting body 810, Figure 36 is a plan view of the upper mounting body 810 when viewed from above, Figure 37 is a bottom view of the upper mounting body 810, Figure 38 is a front view of the upper mounting body 810, and Figures 39 to 42 are oblique views of the upper mounting body 810 when viewed from four different directions.

[0043] The upper mounting body 810 corresponds to the upper base plate 710 and the upper mounting body 720 constituting the upper mounting device 700 in the first embodiment. Specifically, the upper mounting body 810 corresponds to a structure in which the upper base plate 710 is attached to the upper mounting body 720. The upper attachment 810 includes a first member 810A, a second member 810B, and a third member 810C. The first member 810A is formed by bending a flat plate, and as shown in Figures 39 and 41, has a rectangular upright wall 811a, a horizontal wall 811b extending perpendicularly from the upper edge of the upright wall 811a, a pair of side walls 811c extending perpendicularly from both side edges of the upright wall 811a in the same direction as the horizontal wall 811b, and a pair of bottom walls 811d extending inward toward each other from the lower edges of each side wall 811c. As shown in FIG. 40, the second member 810B has a rectangular bottom wall 812a extending in a horizontal plane, a front wall 812b extending upward from the front edge of the bottom wall 812a perpendicular to (or slightly inclined from) the bottom wall 812a, and a support piece 812c which is shorter in lateral length than the front wall 812b and extends diagonally upward from the upper edge of the front wall 812b toward the upright wall 811a of the first member 810A.

[0044] The support piece 812c corresponds to the second portion 722B of the upper mounting device 700 (see FIG. 26). 35 and 40, the second member 810B is fixedly attached to the lower side of the first member 810A in a stacked manner. Specifically, the second member 810B and the first member 810A are attached to each other with the upper surface of the bottom wall 812a of the second member 810B in contact with the lower surfaces of a pair of bottom walls 811d of the first member 810A, and the front wall 812b and the support piece 812c are located forward of the pair of side walls 811c. As shown in Figures 40 and 42, a total of four through holes 812d are formed in the bottom wall 812a of the second member 810B, located at the vertices of a square. Two through holes 811e (see Figure 39) are also formed in each of the pair of bottom walls 811d of the first member 810A, and when the second member 810B is attached below the first member 810A, the four through holes 812d and the total of four through holes 811e are formed to overlap each other. Each of the through holes 812d and each of the through holes 811e has the same size, and both are set to a size that allows the columnar body 860 to fit into them.

[0045] The third member 810C is formed by bending a single plate, and as shown in Figures 35, 41 and 42, has a rectangular first plate 813a extending in a horizontal plane, a second plate 813b extending downward perpendicularly from one end of the first plate 813a, and a pair of third plates 813c extending downwardly from both side edges of the second plate 813b perpendicularly to the first plate 813a and supporting the first plate 813a from below. The second plate 813b is fixed to the rear surface of the upright wall 811a of the first member 810A, whereby the third member 810C is fixed to the first member 810A. As described below, the third member 810C is disposed so that the distance between the first plate 813a and the upper mounting plate 850 is greater than the thickness of the upper frame 2a when the upper mounting plate 850 is attached to the upper mounting body 810. Specifically, the distance between the first plate 813a and the upper mounting plate 850 is set to be equal to the sum of the thickness of the upper frame 2a and the vertical length of the gap S (see FIG. 29). 43 to 46 are perspective views of the upper cover 820 as viewed from four different directions.

[0046] Upper cover 820 is made by bending a single plate, and comprises a first portion 820A consisting of a rectangular flat plate, a second portion 820B extending downward perpendicularly from one end of first portion 820A, and a pair of third portions 820C extending upward perpendicularly from both side edges of first portion 820A. Four rings 820D are fixedly attached to the top surface of the first portion 820A at the vertices of a square, and two rings 820E are attached to the second portion 820B in a horizontal line. A through hole is formed in the first portion 820A concentrically with each ring 820D, and a through hole is formed in the second portion 820B concentrically with each ring 820E. In the first portion 820A, two through holes 820F are formed between the four rings 820D. Each of the through holes 820F is set to a size that allows a columnar body 860 to fit therein.

[0047] 38 and 41, two elliptical long holes 811f that are long in the vertical direction are formed in the upright wall 811a of the first member 810A of the upper attachment body 810. Each ring 820E attached to the second part 820B is set to a size that allows it to fit into the long hole 811f, and each ring 820E can slide inside the long hole 811f within the range of the entire length of the long hole 811f. As described below, the upper cover 820 is fixed to the upper attachment body 810 at a position such that the upper outer frame 20a fits between the first portion 820A and the first plate 813a of the second member 810B. FIG. 47 is a perspective view of the auxiliary plate 830. FIG. Auxiliary plate 830 is made by bending one metal flat plate, and includes a rectangular first portion 830A and a second portion 830B extending downward from one end of first portion 830A at right angles. Four through holes 830a are formed in first portion 830A at the vertices of a square. Each through hole 830a is formed at a position corresponding to four rings 820D formed in first portion 820A, and has a size that allows rings 820D to fit therein. As shown in Figures 33 and 34, auxiliary plate 830 is connected to upper cover 820 by fitting each of the four rings 820D into each of the four through holes 830a from above.

[0048] Two through holes 830b are formed in the first portion 830A, and each through hole 830b is set to a size that allows the columnar body 860 to fit in. Each through hole 830b is formed at a position that overlaps with a through hole 820F of the first portion 820A when the auxiliary plate 830 is connected to the upper cover 820, and as shown in Figures 33 and 34, after the first portion 830A of the auxiliary plate 830 is overlapped on the first portion 820A of the upper cover 820, the columnar body 860 is passed through each through hole 820F and each through hole 830b. The bottom of the columnar body 860 is fixed with a screw from the bottom side of the first portion 820A of the upper cover 820. In this way, the upper cover 820 and the auxiliary plate 830 are interconnected by each ring 820D of the upper cover 820 fitting into each through hole 830a of the auxiliary plate 830, and the columnar body 860 passing through the through hole 820F of the upper cover 820 and the through hole 830b of the auxiliary plate 830. FIG. 48 is a perspective view of the upper mounting plate 850. The upper mounting plate 850 is made of metal (a metal that is attracted to a magnet, such as iron). The upper mounting plate 850 is made of a rectangular flat plate, and two rows of through holes 850A are formed at equal intervals parallel to the longitudinal direction of the upper mounting plate 850.

[0049] A plurality of elongated holes 850B for screw fastening are formed adjacent to the two rows of through holes 850A. Each of the elongated holes 850B extends in a direction oblique to the longitudinal direction of the upper mounting plate 850. FIG. 49 is a perspective view of the pillar 860. The columnar body 860 has a hexagonal cross section, and a through hole 860A is formed along its entire length, with the through hole 860A being centered on the axis of the columnar body 860. The through hole 860A is threaded. FIG. 50 is a perspective view showing the state in which the pillar-shaped body 860 is attached to the upper mounting plate 850. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 50, the pillar 860 is fixed to the upper mounting plate 850 by inserting a screw 861 into a through hole 850A from the back side of the upper mounting plate 850 and then screwing the screw 861 into the through hole 860A of the pillar 860.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 50, two posts 860 are attached to every other through-hole 850A in each row, for a total of four posts 860 attached to the upper mounting plate 850 at each vertex of a square. The columnar body 860 attached to the upper mounting plate 850 in this manner is inserted into four through holes 812d (see Figure 40) formed in the bottom wall 812a of the second member 810B and a total of four through holes 811e (see Figure 39) formed in each of a pair of bottom walls 811d of the first member 810A (see Figure 34). FIG. 51 is a plan view of magnet mounting block 840 as viewed from above, FIG. 52 is a bottom view of magnet mounting block 840, and FIGS. 53 to 55 are perspective views of magnet mounting block 840 as viewed from three different directions. As shown in FIG. 54, a recess 841 is formed in the upper surface of a magnet mounting block 840 . A magnet 842 is incorporated inside the magnet mounting block 840, and as shown in FIG. 53, the magnet 842 protrudes downward and is exposed.

[0051] As shown in Fig. 53, magnet mounting block 840 has wall portions 843 protruding to the left and right, and vertically long slots 843A are formed in each wall portion 843. As shown in Fig. 39 and Fig. 40, two screw holes 812e are formed in front wall 812b of second member 810B, which is a component of upper mounting body 810, and magnet mounting block 840 is attached to upper mounting body 810 by screwing slots 843A into screw holes 812e via screws. The mounting position of magnet mounting block 840 relative to upper mounting body 810 in the height direction can be adjusted according to the overall length of slot 843A. The upper mounting plate 850, which is connected to the upper mounting body 810 via the pillar-shaped body 860, is attracted to the magnet 842 of the magnet mounting block 840 attached to the upper mounting body 810, so that the upper mounting plate 850 is almost fixed to the upper mounting body 810 by the magnetic force of the magnet 842 (however, it is possible to remove the upper mounting plate 850 from the upper mounting body 810). The upper mounting device 800 having the above-mentioned structure is used as follows.

[0052] Initially, the upper mounting plate 850 is left detached from the body structure 800A. First, the columnar body 860 is passed through the through-hole 820F of the first portion 820A, and the columnar body 860 is fixed (screwed) to the lower surface of the first portion 820A. Next, the upper cover 820 is attached to the upper outer frame 20a. Specifically, the upper cover 820 is screwed to the upper outer frame 20a via a through hole formed concentrically with the ring 820D or the ring 820E (or both). Thereafter, auxiliary plate 830 is placed on top of upper cover 820, and the two are connected to each other. Specifically, columnar body 860 is fitted into through hole 830b of auxiliary plate 830, thereby connecting upper cover 820 and auxiliary plate 830 to each other. Next, the upper surface of the first plate 813a is screwed to the lower surface of the upper outer frame 20a via a plurality of through holes 813d (see FIGS. 41 and 42) formed in the first plate 813a of the third member 810C. As a result, the upper attachment body 810 is fixed to the upper outer frame 20a, and the upper outer frame 20a is sandwiched between the upper cover 820 and the first plate 813a.

[0053] Furthermore, when the upper mounting body 810 is attached to the upper outer frame 20a, as shown in Figures 33 and 34, one end (the right end in Figure 47) of the first part 830A of the auxiliary plate 830 is placed on the horizontal wall 811b of the upper mounting body 810, and the horizontal wall 811 is sandwiched between the second part 830B of the auxiliary plate 830 and the second part 820B of the upper cover 820. The magnet mounting block 840 is then attached to the upper mount 810 (alternatively, the magnet mounting block 840 can be attached to the upper mount 810 first). By attaching the upper cover 820, the auxiliary plate 830 and the magnet mounting block 840 to the upper mounting body 810, the main body structure 800A is formed. Posts 860 are then attached to the upper mounting plate 850, and the upper mounting plate 850 is attached to the upper mounting body 810 via the posts 860. The upper mounting plate 850 is substantially fixed to the upper mounting body 810 by the action of the magnets 842 in the magnetic mounting block 840.

[0054] As a result, the upper surface of the upper mounting plate 850 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper frame 2a (see FIG. 29). If necessary, the upper mounting plate 850 can be screwed to the lower surface of the upper frame 2a via the long holes 850B of the upper mounting plate 850. In this manner, the upper outer frame 20a and the upper frame 2a are connected to each other via the upper mounting device 800. The upper mounting device 800 of this embodiment can also use the adjustment bolt 250, similar to the upper mounting device 700 of the first embodiment. The upper mounting device 800 in this embodiment is not limited to the above structure, and various modifications are possible. For example, posts 860 are removably attached to upper mounting plate 850 via screws 861 (see FIG. 50), although posts 860 may be pre-fixed to upper mounting plate 850 by welding or other means.

[0055] In addition, two rows of through holes 850A are formed in the upper mounting plate 850 (see Figure 48), but it is also possible to use an upper mounting plate 851 having a single row of through holes 850A formed therein, as shown in Figure 56. Next, a lower mounting device 900 constituting a game table mounting device according to a second embodiment will be described below. Figure 57 is an oblique view of the lower mounting device 900, Figure 58 is an oblique view showing the state in which the lower mounting device 900 is attached to the lower frame 2b and the lower outer frame 20b, Figure 59 is a side view of Figure 58, Figure 60 is a plan view of the lower mounting device 900 when viewed from above, Figure 61 is a bottom view of the lower mounting device 900, and Figures 62 to 65 are oblique views of the lower mounting device 900 when viewed from four different directions. The lower mounting device 900 has the same basic structure as the lower mounting device 600 in the first embodiment. Therefore, only the structural differences between the lower mounting device 900 and the lower mounting device 600 will be described below.

[0056] In the lower mounting device 600, a magnet for attracting the lower mounting plate 640 is disposed inside the lower mounting body 630 (see FIGS. 11 and 13). In the lower mounting device 900, a magnet mounting block 940 is used instead of the lower mounting body 630. FIG. 66 is a perspective view of magnet mounting block 940. The magnet mounting block 940 has the same structure as the magnet mounting block 840 (see FIGS. 51 to 55) used in the upper mounting device 800, except that the recess 841 is not formed. Alternatively, the magnet mounting block 940 may be the same as the magnet mounting block 840. A magnet 942 is incorporated inside the magnet mounting block 940, and as shown in FIG. 66, the magnet 942 protrudes upward and is exposed. As shown in Figures 62 and 63, the magnet mounting block 940, like the magnet mounting block 840, is attached to the main body base plate 611 of the lower base plate 610 via screws.

[0057] Magnets 942 arranged within magnet mounting block 940 magnetically attract lower mounting plate 640 fitted into columnar body 632, substantially fixing lower mounting plate 640 to main body structure 600A. Furthermore, in the lower mounting device 900, the lower auxiliary plate 620 is also unnecessary due to the use of the magnet mounting block 940 instead of the lower mounting body 630. For this reason, the lower mounting device 900 uses a lower base plate 910 in which the structure of the lower base plate 610 is partially modified, and does not use the lower auxiliary plate 620 (a member corresponding to the lower base plate 620). 67 to 70 are perspective views of the lower base plate 910 as viewed from four different directions. As is apparent from a comparison of the lower base plate 910 with the lower base plate 610 and the lower auxiliary plate 620 (see, for example, FIG. 11), the lower base plate 910 has a structure in which the lower base plate 610 and the lower auxiliary plate 620 are combined.

[0058] The lower mounting device 900 can also provide the same functions and effects as the lower mounting device 600 in the first embodiment. The game table mounting device according to the second embodiment is not limited to the above structure, and various modifications are possible. For example, in lower mounting device 900, lower mounting plate 640 can be replaced with a lower mounting plate (similar to upper mounting plate 741 shown in FIG. 32) having through holes 640b formed in two rows. The pillars 860 are not limited to having a hexagonal cross section, but may have any cross section (eg, a circle, a rectangle other than a hexagon, etc.). [Explanation of symbols]
