【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、パチンコ機の傾斜角度設定構造及び傾斜角度設定方法に関するもので、特に、パチンコ機を入換えるに際して新規パチンコ機を設定傾斜角度に容易に設定することができるパチンコ機の傾斜角度設定構造及び傾斜角度設定方法に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
一般に、パチンコ機はホールに設置した島と呼ばれる構造物（以下、単に島と称す）に取付けられている。島には、縦方向に延出した支柱がパチンコ機配列方向に所定間隔で配設されると共に、これら支柱に、パチンコ機配列方向に延出し、且つ略パチンコ機の縦方向の寸法だけ間隔を有して上下に配された上部梁と下部梁とが設けられている。そして、パチンコ機は上部梁と下部梁との間の空間に嵌め込まれており、取付位置及び鉛直方向に対する傾斜角度、いわゆる寝かせ（以下、単に寝かせと称す）が調節され、上部梁の上面と下部梁の下面とから釘を打設して島に取付けられている。なお、上記寝かせは、一般に、パチンコ機の上部が下部に対して島の内側に４分５厘（１３．５ｍｍ）入り込むように調節される。
【０００３】
ところで、パチンコ機の寝かせは、パチンコ機の入賞口への入賞確率を決定する要因の１つであり、パチンコ機を島に取付ける際には寝かせの厳密な調節が要求される。一般に、パチンコ機の寝かせの調節は、上部梁の下面及び下部梁の上面に墨打ち等により基準線を引き、該基準線にパチンコ機を位置合わせすることが行われ、このような作業を行うには高い技術が要求されるため、島大工と呼ばれる熟練者の手により実施される。したがって、ホールはパチンコ機の入換えを行う度に島大工を確保する必要があり、多大な費用と時間とを要することから、パチンコ機の入換えはホールの大きな負担となっていた。
【０００４】
そこで、特開平１０−８０５６３号公報には、取付部材を島天板にビス止めで固定し、ラック部材の先端の支持部材を介してパチンコ機の上部外周枠をビス止めで固定し、また、上記ラック部材を取付部材で摺動及び係止可能に支持しておいて、ラック部材を取付部材に対して摺動移動させることにより、当該パチンコ機の傾斜角度を調節するパチンコ機の取付装置及びクランプが開示されている。このパチンコ機の取付装置では、支持部材がパチンコ機の上部外周枠の内側の面にビス止めされているので、パチンコ機を入換える際には当該支持部材を固定しているビスを取り外し、再度新規に取付けられるパチンコ機の上部外周枠の内側の面にビス止めする必要があり、煩雑で時間がかかる効率の悪い作業であった。また、傾斜角度の調節にはラック部材と係合させる専用の調整具を要し、その調節には記載はないが何らかの基準が必要となることから、パチンコ機の入換えの度に上記調節具を用いた煩雑な調節作業が必要となるばかりでなく、例えば、ホール従業員が傾斜角度の調節を行った場合、人為的誤差によりパチンコ機本来の仕様（入賞口への入賞確率等）が著しく変わってしまう虞がある。
【０００５】
また、特開平８−１９６５６号公報には、島の上部添板の下面に受片と取付片とを略Ｌ字状に形成した上部係止板を固定すると共に下部添板の上面に被締結片と取付片とを略Ｌ字状に形成した下部係止板を固定し、該下部係止板の被締結片に形成した切欠部に嵌合体の選択された切溝を嵌合したパチンコ機の取付構造が開示されており、該パチンコ機の取付構造は、上記上部添板の受片と下部添板の被締結片とが鉛直線上で揃うように位置決めしておいて、パチンコ機の側枠後面を当該上部添板の受片と下部添板の被締結片とに当接させることにより、パチンコ機が所定角度に傾斜させた状態で取付されるというものである。
【０００６】
しかしながら、このパチンコ機の取付構造では、前提条件として、上部添板の受片と下部添板の被締結片とが正確に位置決めされている必要があるが、これらを正確に位置決めして固定するのは極めて困難であり、また、切溝を被締結片の切欠に嵌合させて嵌合体を装着する構造上、下部添板に対する嵌合体の位置を微調節することができなかった。そして、上部添板と下部添板との取付誤差は当該上部添板と下部添板との取付直後に島に取付けられるパチンコ機の傾斜角度に影響するだけでなく、パチンコ機を入換えた際の新規に取付けられるパチンコ機の傾斜角度にも後々影響を及ぼすこととなる。
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、パチンコ機を入換えるに際し、新規パチンコ機の傾斜角度を、設定傾斜角度で島に取付けられたパチンコ機と同じ傾斜角度（寝かせ）に、誰でも簡単に、設定することができるパチンコ機の傾斜角度設定構造及び傾斜角度設定方法を提供することを目的とする。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】

【０００９】
本発明は、このように構成することで、下部固定金具に配した当接部材を島に設定傾斜角度で取付けられたパチンコ機の後面下部に当接させ、また、一対の上部固定金具の各第２のボルトを回転させて各当接部材を設定傾斜角度で島に取付けられたパチンコ機の後面上部に当接させると共に、一対の上部固定金具の各第１のボルトを締付けして各可動部材の締結片を各上部固定部材の被締結片に締結させ、そして、パチンコ機の入換えの際には、新規パチンコ機の後面下部を一対の下部固定金具に配した各当接部材に当接させると共に後面上部を一対の上部固定金具に配した各当接部材に当接させることにより、新規パチンコ機を設定傾斜角度に設定することができる。
【００１０】

【００１１】
本発明は、このように構成することで、取外されるパチンコ機と新規に取付けられるパチンコ機との設定傾斜角度が異なる場合であっても、所定板厚のスペーサを所要に応じて上部固定金具の当接部材と可動部材との間又は下部固定金具の当接部材と下部固定部材との間に介在させることにより対応することができる。
【００１２】
また、上記目的を達成するために、本発明のうち請求項３に記載のパチンコ機の傾斜角度設定方法は、島の上部梁にパチンコ機の後面上部に当接させた上部固定金具の一対を配すると共に、島の下部梁にパチンコ機の後面下部に当接させた下部固定金具の一対を配し、上部固定金具を、島の上部梁の後面に固定した上部取付片と、該上部取付片の下端から島の内側に向けて略水平に延出し、所定位置に第１のねじ孔を配した被締結片と、該被締結片の後端に垂設され、略中央に第２のねじ孔を配した垂下片と、からなる上部固定部材と、被締結片の下面に重ねて配置され、第１のねじ孔を臨むと共に島の内外方向に延出した長孔を有した締結片と、該締結片の前端に垂設され、略中央に第１の孔を配した前片と、締結片の後端に垂設され、略中央に第２の孔を配した後片と、からなる可動部材と、前片に設けた第１の孔に挿通させる軸を立設し、前片の前側に配してパチンコ機の後面上部に当接させた当接部材と、締結片の長孔を挿通させて被締結片の第１のねじ孔に螺合させた第１のボルトと、先端部が可動部材の第２の孔に回転可能に連結され、中間部が垂下片の第２のねじ孔に螺合された第２のボルトと、該第２のボルトの基部に螺合されたロックナットと、で構成し、また、下部固定金具を、島の下部梁の上面に固定した下部取付片と、該下部取付片の前端に立設され、略中央に第３の孔を配した垂直片と、をクランク状の板部材の両端に配した下部固定部材と、垂直片に設けた第３の孔に挿通させる軸を立設し、垂直片の前側に配してパチンコ機の後面下部に当接させた当接部材と、で構成しておいて、当接部材が島に設定傾斜角度で取り付けられたパチンコ機の後面下部に当接するように、一対の下部固定金具を島の下部梁に取付け、次に、一対の上部固定金具を島の上部梁に取付け後、一対の上部固定金具の各第２のボルトを回転させて各可動部材を前進させることで各当接部材をパチンコ機の後面上部に当接させ、この状態で、各第１のボルトを締め付けて各可動部材を各上部固定部材に締結させると共に、各ロックナットを締め付けて各垂下片の後面に締結させることで各第２のボルトの回転を阻止し、パチンコ機を入換えるに際し、新規パチンコ機の後面上部を一対の上部固定金具の各当接部材に当接させると共に、該新規パチンコ機の後面下部を一対の下部固定金具の各当接部材に当接させることにより、新規パチンコ機の傾斜角度を設定することを特徴とする。

本発明は、このように構成することで、パチンコ機を入換える際に、新規パチンコ機の後面上部を一対の上部固定金具に当接させると共に後面下部を一対の下部固定金具に当接させることにより、新規パチンコ機を設定傾斜角度に設定することができる。
【００１４】

【００１６】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の一実施の形態を図１乃至図９に基づいて説明する。まず、本実施の形態のパチンコ機の傾斜角度設定構造の概略を説明する。図１乃至図５に示すように、本パチンコ機１の傾斜角度設定構造は、島の上部梁２の後面に配した一対の上部固定金具３の当接部材４の当接面４ａを島に設定傾斜角度で取付けられたパチンコ機１の後面１ａ上部に当接させると共に、島の下部梁５上面に配した一対の下部固定金具６の当接部材４の当接面４ａを上記パチンコ機１の後面１ａ下部に当接させ、パチンコ機１を入換えるに際し、新規パチンコ機１の後面１ａ上部を上記一対の上部固定金具３の当接部材４の当接面４ａに当接させると共に当該新規パチンコ機１の後面１ａ下部を上記一対の下部固定金具６の当接部材４の当接面４ａに当接させて新規パチンコ機１の傾斜角度を設定した。これにより、新規パチンコ機１を取外されるパチンコ機１と同じ傾斜角度、即ち設定傾斜角度に設定することができる。
【００１７】
次に、本パチンコ機１の傾斜角度設定構造の詳細を説明する。上記上部固定金具３は、図２及び図４に示すように、島の上部梁２に固定した上部固定部材７と、該上部固定部材７の下側に配されて当該上部固定部材７に対して島の内外方向（図１に示すＡ方向）に移動可能で、且つ任意の位置で固定可能な可動部材８とを具備しており、該可動部材８には上記当接部材４が装着される構造になっている。また、上記上部固定部材７はクランク状に曲げ加工した板金製の部材で形成されており、島の上部梁２の後面に図示しないさらボルト等で固定した上部取付片９と、該上部取付片９の下端から島の内側に向けて略水平に延出した被締結片１０と、該被締結片１０の後端に垂設された垂下片１１とを具備している。また、上記上部固定部材７には、被締結片１０の所定位置に後述する第１のボルト１２を螺合させる第１のねじ孔１３（図４参照）が螺設されると共に垂下片１１の所定位置に後述する第２のボルト１４を螺合させる第２のねじ孔１５（図４参照）が螺設されている。
【００１８】
また、上記可動部材８は略コの字状に曲げ加工した板金製の部材で形成されており、上面を上記上部固定部材７の被締結片１０の下面に当接させた締結片１６と、該締結片１６の前端及び後端に垂設した前片１７及び後片１８とを具備している。また、上記締結片１６には、前片１７から後片１８に向けて延出し、上記上部固定部材７の被締結片１０の第１のねじ孔１３（図４参照）を臨むように設けた長孔１９が形成され、さらに、前片１７には後述する当接部材４の軸２０を挿通させる第１の孔２１（図４参照）が形成されると共に後片１８には上記第２のねじ孔１５に螺合した第２のボルト１４の先端を回転可能に連結させた第２の孔２２（図４参照）が形成されている。なお、上記第２のボルト１４の先端には、ねじ部のねじ径よりも小さい外径を有したストレート部２３が形成されており、該ストレート部２３には止輪２４を嵌合させるための環状溝（図示せず）が形成されている。
【００１９】
また、上記当接部材４は、図６に示すように、略コの字状に曲げ加工した板金製の部材で形成されており、パチンコ機１の後面１ａに当接させる当接面４ａの裏面には上記前片１７の第１の孔２１に挿通させた上記軸２０が立設されている。そして、上部固定金具３は、第１のボルト（本実施例ではナベ小ねじ）１２をワッシャ２５を介して上記可動部材８の長孔１９に挿通させて上部固定部材７の第１のねじ孔１３に螺合させると共に、ロックナット２６を螺合した第２のボルト１４を上部固定部材７の第２のねじ孔１５に螺合し、該第２のボルト１４の先端のストレート部２３を可動部材８の第２の孔２２に挿通させて環状溝に止輪２４を嵌合し、当該第２のボルト１４の先端を可動部材８に回転可能に連結させた構造になっている。
【００２０】
また、上部固定金具３は、上記当接部材４の軸２０を可動部材８の前片１７の第１の孔２１に挿通させて当接部材４を可動部材８に装着し、第２のボルト１４を所要方向に回転させることで当該可動部材８を上部固定部材７に対して前後方向（図１に示すＡ方向）にスライド移動させ、第１のボルト１２を締付けることで可動部材８の締結片１６を上部固定部材７の被締結片１０に締結させて当該可動部材８を上部固定部材７に固定させるように構成されている。なお、上部固定金具３では第１のボルト１２を締付けて可動部材８を上部固定部材７に締結固定した後、第２のボルト１４に螺合させたロックナット２６を締め付けることで上部固定部材７に対する可動部材８の移動をより強固に規制させた構造になっている。
【００２１】
次に、上記下部固定金具６の詳細を説明する。下部固定金具６は、図３及び図５に示すように、クランク状に曲げ加工した板金製の下部固定部材２７に、上記上部固定金具３に装着した当接部材４と同形状の当接部材４を装着して構成されており、下部固定部材２７の両端には島の下部梁５上面に図示しないさらボルト等で固定した下部取付片２８と、パチンコ機１の後面１ａ下部に対向させて設けられ、且つ上記当接部材４に立設した軸２０を挿通させる第３の孔３２（図５参照）を有した垂直片２９とが配設されている。また、上記下部固定部材２７は、下部取付片２８と垂直片２９との間に逃げ部３０を介在させており、図１に示すように、パチンコ機１と島の下部梁５とにスペーサ３１を支わせた場合に当該逃げ部３０でスペーサ３１との干渉を回避した構造になっている。
【００２２】
なお、上記当接部材４と第２のボルト１４及び当該当接部材４と下部固定部材とは、図示しない紛失防止用のワイヤにより連結されている。また、図７及び図８に示すように、当接部材４と可動部材８の前片１７との間及び当該当接部材４と下部固定部材２７の垂直片２９との間には、略中央部に当接部材４に立設した軸２０を挿通させるための第４の孔３３を有した所定厚さ（本実施例では１．５ｍｍ）のスペーサ３４を所要に応じて介在させることで、パチンコ機１を入換えた際の新規パチンコ機１の傾斜角度を所要に設定することができるように構成されている。
【００２３】
このような構成において、本実施の形態のパチンコ機１の傾斜角度設定方法を説明する。まず、図１、図３及び図５に示すように、軸２０を下部固定部材２７の垂直片２９の第３の孔３２に挿通させて当接部材４を支持した一対の下部固定金具６を、該当接部材４の当接面４ａが島に設定傾斜角度で取付けられたパチンコ機１の後面１ａ下部に当接するように、島の下部梁５上面に所定間隔で取付ける。この際、上記下部固定部材２７に逃げ部３０を形成したことにより、パチンコ機１と島の下部梁５との間にスペーサ３１が支われていた場合であっても、当該逃げ部３０によりスペーサ３１と下部固定金具６とが干渉するのを回避することができる。
【００２４】
次に、図１、図２及び図４に示すように、軸２０を可動部材８の前片１７の第１の孔２１に挿通させて当接部材４を支持した一対の上部固定金具３を、下部梁５に取付けた一対の下部固定金具６とパチンコ機１幅方向（図２及び図３に示すＢ方向）における位置を略一致させて島の上部梁２に取付ける。この際、第１のボルト１２及びロックナット２６は緩められており、一対の上部固定金具３は、第２のボルト１４を回転させることにより可動部材８が上部固定部材７に対して長孔１９（図６参照）の範囲内で島の内外方向（図１に示すＡ方向）にスライド移動可能な状態である。そして、これら一対の上部固定金具３の第２のボルト１４を所要方向（時計回り方向）に回転させることで一対の当接部材４の当接面４ａをパチンコ機１の後面１ａ上部に当接させ、この状態で、第１のボルト１２を締付けて可動部材８を上部固定部材７に締結固定させると共に第２のボルト１４に螺合したロックナット２６を上部固定部材７の垂下片１１の後面（図４における右側の面）に締結させる。
【００２５】
そして、パチンコ機１を入換えるに際し、図１に示すように、新規パチンコ機１の後面１ａ上部を島の上部梁２に取付けられた一対の上部固定金具３の当接部材４の当接面４ａに当接させると共に当該パチンコ機１の後面１ａ下部を島の下部梁５に取付けられた一対の下部固定金具６の当接部材４の当接面４ａに当接させる。この状態で新規パチンコ機１を釘等で島に固定することで、新規パチンコ機１を、取外されるパチンコ機１と同じ傾斜角度、即ち設定傾斜角度で島に取付けることが可能となる。ここで、取外されるパチンコ機１と新規パチンコ機１との設定傾斜角度が異なる場合、例えば、取外されるパチンコ機１の傾斜角度が標準的な４分５厘（１３．５ｍｍ）であって、新規パチンコ機１の傾斜角度が４分（１２．０ｍｍ）である場合には、図７に示すように、所要厚み（１．５ｍｍ）のスペーサ３４を、一対の上部固定金具３の当接部材４と可動部材８の前片１７との間に当該当接部材４の軸２０に第４の孔３３を挿通させて介在させることにより対応することができる。
【００２６】
【発明の効果】
本実施形態によれば、一対の下部固定金具を、当接部材が、島に設定傾斜角度で取り付けられたパチンコ機の後面下部に当接するように、島の下部梁に取付けると共に、一対の上部固定金具を、島の上部梁に取付け、一対の上部固定金具の第２のボルトを回転させて可動部材を前進させることで当接部材をパチンコ機の後面上部に当接させ、この状態で、第１のボルトを締め付けて可動部材を上部固定部材に締結させると共に、ロックナットを締め付けて垂下片の後面に締結させることで第２のボルトの回転を阻止し、パチンコ機を入換えるに際し、新規パチンコ機の後面上部を一対の上部固定金具の当接部材に当接させると共に、該新規パチンコ機の後面下部を一対の下部固定金具の当接部材に当接させることにより、新規パチンコ機の傾斜角度を設定したので、パチンコ機を入換えるに際し、新規パチンコ機の後面上部を一対の上部固定金具の当接部材の当接面に当接させると共に当該パチンコ機の後面下部を一対の下部固定金具の当接部材の当接面に当接させるだけで、新規パチンコ機の傾斜角度を、島に取付けられていた取外されるパチンコ機の設定傾斜角度に設定することができ、島大工等の熟練者を雇わなくてもホール従業員等で、容易に、且つ所要の傾斜角度でパチンコ機を入換えることが可能となり、さらに、上部固定金具と下部固定金具とが簡易な構造であることで、パチンコ機入換えの費用を大幅に抑制することができると共に入換え作業を効率的に行うことができる。
【００２７】
また、本実施形態によれば、当接部材に立設した軸に挿通させる第４の孔を配した所定板厚のスペーサを、所要に応じて上部固定金具の当接部材と可動部材との間、又は下部固定金具の当接部材と下部固定部材との間に介在させたので、パチンコ機を入換えるに際し、取外されるパチンコ機と新規パチンコ機とで設定傾斜角度が異なる場合であっても、スペーサを上部固定金具の当接部材と可動部材との間又は下部固定金具の当接部材と下部固定部材との間に介在させるだけで、容易に対応することができる。
