Description

本発明は、スロットマシンなどの遊技機用筐体に穿設された取手孔を閉塞するための取手孔カバーに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a handle hole cover for closing a handle hole formed in a housing for a gaming machine such as a slot machine.

筐体内に遊技のための機器や制御基板などが内蔵されているスロットマシンなどの遊技機においては、遊技機を持ち運ぶ際の手掛かりとするために、たとえば筐体の両側面に取手孔が穿設されている。この取手孔は、持ち易さの観点から通常貫通孔とされる。従来、このような貫通孔に取り付けるための取手カバーが提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。この特許文献１に記載の取手カバーは、軟質材料からなる環状で、金属製のビール樽の手掛け穴の内周に嵌着することによりビール樽を持ち易くしている。   In a gaming machine such as a slot machine in which a gaming device or a control board is built in the housing, for example, a handle hole is formed on both sides of the housing to provide a clue when carrying the gaming machine. Has been. This handle hole is normally a through hole from the viewpoint of ease of holding. Conventionally, a handle cover for attaching to such a through hole has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The handle cover described in Patent Document 1 has an annular shape made of a soft material, and makes it easier to hold a beer barrel by fitting it into the inner periphery of a handle hole of a metal beer barrel.

特開平１０−１１４１号公報（段落［００１３］）JP 10-1141 A (paragraph [0013])

ところで、上記特許文献１に記載の取手カバーは、遊技機用筐体の取手孔カバーには適さない。というのは、上記従来の取手カバーは環状で貫通孔を閉塞していないため、これを遊技機用筐体の取手孔カバーとして用いると、その隙間から針金などを差し込むことにより内部装置を傷付けて誤作動を起こさせるなどの不正行為が行われるおそれがあるからである。一方、本願の出願人は、遊技機用筐体の取手孔を確実に閉塞する取手孔カバーを提案している（特願２００２−１９１６０６）。ところが、この取手孔カバーは、内側からねじで筐体に取り付けるようにしているため、取手孔を確実に閉塞して不正防止効果を高めることができるものの、取付けの作業性があまり良好なものではなかった。   Incidentally, the handle cover described in Patent Document 1 is not suitable for a handle hole cover of a gaming machine casing. This is because the conventional handle cover is annular and does not close the through hole, so if this is used as a handle hole cover for a gaming machine housing, the internal device is damaged by inserting a wire or the like through the gap. This is because there is a risk of fraud such as causing malfunctions. On the other hand, the applicant of the present application has proposed a handle hole cover that reliably closes the handle hole of the gaming machine casing (Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-191606). However, since this handle hole cover is attached to the housing with screws from the inside, the handle hole can be reliably closed to increase the anti-fraud effect, but the mounting workability is not very good.

At this time , it is not necessary to use another fixing member such as a screw, and it is only necessary to insert the cover main body part into the handle hole and fit the fitting insertion part into the handle hole. Can be improved.

また、請求項２の発明によれば、カバー本体部の取手孔への挿入に伴い、弾性を有する可動体がたとえば撓みつつ取手孔の内周面を摺接するため、カバー本体部に続いて嵌挿部を筐体の外側から取手孔に挿入する際に妨げとならない。そして、取手孔の内周面への嵌挿部の嵌まり込みにより、連結部によりほぼ中央部で支持された可動体が揺動することとなり、この揺動によりフックが取手孔の周縁の筐体の内側面に係止する一方、フランジ部が取手孔の周縁の筐体の外側面に当接し、嵌挿部の上面に設けられた抜け止め用突部が取手孔の周縁の筐体の内側面の上部に係止するとともに、嵌挿部の下面に設けられた可動体のフックが取手孔の周縁の筐体の内側面の下部に係止し、嵌挿部の下面に可動体に並んで少なくとも１個設けられている当接用突部が、取手孔の内周面への嵌挿部の嵌まり込みにより該内周面に当接するため、可動体および当接用突部に平均した力が加わることから、筐体の内側面の上部および下部の係止によって、筐体に確実に固定することができ、可動体のみに無理な力が加えられて可動体が破損するような事態を避けることができる。このとき、ねじなどの別の固定部材を用いておらず、カバー本体部を取手孔に挿入して嵌挿部を取手孔に嵌め込むだけでよいので、取手孔への取付けの作業性を大幅に向上することができる。 According to the invention of claim 2, since the movable body having elasticity slides on the inner peripheral surface of the handle hole while bending, for example, as the cover body portion is inserted into the handle hole, the cover body portion is fitted to the cover body portion. There is no hindrance when the insertion part is inserted into the handle hole from the outside of the housing. Then, when the fitting portion is fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the handle hole, the movable body supported at the central portion by the connecting portion is swung, and this swing causes the hook to move to the housing around the periphery of the handle hole. while engaging the inner surface of the body, the flange portion contact the outer surface of the casing of the peripheral edge of the handle hole, fitting retaining projections missing provided on the upper surface of the insertion portion of the peripheral edge of the handle hole housing The hook of the movable body provided on the lower surface of the fitting insertion portion is engaged with the lower portion of the inner side surface of the housing at the periphery of the handle hole, and the movable body is disposed on the lower surface of the fitting insertion portion. Since at least one abutting protrusion provided in a row contacts the inner peripheral surface by fitting the insertion portion into the inner peripheral surface of the handle hole, the movable body and the abutting protrusion Since the average force is applied to the housing, it can be securely fixed to the housing by locking the upper and lower parts of the inner surface of the housing. Body only excessive force is applied to the movable body is able to avoid such a situation that the damage. At this time , it is not necessary to use another fixing member such as a screw, and it is only necessary to insert the cover main body part into the handle hole and fit the fitting insertion part into the handle hole. Can be improved.

また、請求項３の発明によれば、可動体は、フックが嵌挿部の外周面に接近するように付勢されているため、カバー本体部に続いて嵌挿部を筐体の外側から取手孔に挿入する際に、フックが挿入の妨げとなるのを確実に防止することができる。なお、たとえば連結部と可動体と嵌挿部とを合成樹脂により一体的に形成することによって、フックが嵌挿部の外周面に接近するように連結部が可動体を付勢するような構成を容易に実現できる。   According to the invention of claim 3, since the movable body is biased so that the hook approaches the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion, the insertion portion is moved from the outside of the housing following the cover main body portion. When inserting into the handle hole, it is possible to reliably prevent the hook from interfering with the insertion. Note that, for example, the connecting portion, the movable body, and the insertion portion are integrally formed of a synthetic resin so that the connecting portion biases the movable body so that the hook approaches the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion. Can be realized easily.

また、請求項４の発明によれば、カバー本体部の取手孔への挿入を案内する案内用突部が設けられているため、カバー本体部を取手孔に滑らかに挿入することができる。また、この案内用突部は、カバー本体部の下面の可動体の挿入方向の奥側に設けられているため、可動体が取手孔の内周面に衝突して破損するのを未然に防止することができる。 According to the invention of claim 4 , since the guide projection for guiding the insertion of the cover main body into the handle hole is provided, the cover main body can be smoothly inserted into the handle hole. In addition, since this guide protrusion is provided on the lower surface of the cover main body in the insertion direction of the movable body, it prevents the movable body from colliding with the inner peripheral surface of the handle hole and being damaged beforehand. can do.

The handle hole 33 has a horizontally long, substantially rectangular shape that is formed slightly above the center of the side plate 31 in the height direction. A handle hole cover described below is attached to the handle hole 33. In FIG. 1, the handle hole cover is not shown for convenience of explanation.

図２は本発明の一実施形態である取手孔カバーを斜め下から見た斜視図、図３は同取手孔カバーを斜め上から見た斜視図である。また、図４〜図６は取手孔カバーを示す図で、図４は平面図、図５は底面図、図６は左側面図である。なお、説明の便宜上、図６は図４および図５に比べて拡大して示している。   FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a handle hole cover according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed obliquely from below, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the handle hole cover as viewed obliquely from above. 4 to 6 are views showing the handle hole cover, FIG. 4 is a plan view, FIG. 5 is a bottom view, and FIG. 6 is a left side view. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 6 is shown enlarged compared to FIGS. 4 and 5.

この取手孔カバー３５は、合成樹脂（例えばポリプロピレン）により一体的に形成されており、奥部５１が閉塞されたほぼ四角筒状のカバー本体部５０と、カバー本体部５０の開口に延設された短い四角筒状の嵌挿部６０と、嵌挿部６０の開口端に設けられたフランジ部７０とを備えている。ここで、カバー本体部５０および嵌挿部６０の断面外形は、取手孔３３とほぼ同一形状、すなわち横長のほぼ矩形になっている。   The handle hole cover 35 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin (for example, polypropylene), and extends to the opening of the cover main body 50 and the substantially rectangular tube-shaped cover main body 50 with the back 51 closed. A short square tubular insertion part 60 and a flange part 70 provided at the opening end of the insertion part 60 are provided. Here, the cross-sectional outer shape of the cover main body 50 and the fitting insertion portion 60 is substantially the same shape as the handle hole 33, that is, a horizontally long substantially rectangular shape.

また、図６に示すように、カバー本体部５０は、上面５０１および下面５０２がほぼ平行で、奥部５１側（図中、左側）が高くなるように傾斜して形成されており、側面視ほぼ平行四辺形になっている。これに対して、嵌挿部６０の上面６０１は水平に形成され、下面６０２はカバー本体部５０の下面５０２がそのまま延設されて同一の傾斜を有している。その結果、厳密には嵌挿部６０の外形は四角錐台状であって、嵌挿部６０の軸線Ｌ１はほぼ水平に近くなっており、カバー本体部５０の軸線Ｌ２は、奥部５１側（図中、左側）が嵌挿部６０の軸線Ｌ１より上向きになっている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the cover main body 50 is formed so as to be inclined such that the upper surface 501 and the lower surface 502 are substantially parallel and the back portion 51 side (left side in the drawing) is higher. It is almost a parallelogram. On the other hand, the upper surface 601 of the insertion portion 60 is formed horizontally, and the lower surface 602 has the same inclination as the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50 is extended as it is. As a result, strictly speaking, the outer shape of the fitting insertion portion 60 is a quadrangular frustum shape, the axis L1 of the fitting insertion portion 60 is almost horizontal, and the axis L2 of the cover main body portion 50 is on the back 51 side. (Left side in the figure) is upward from the axis L1 of the insertion portion 60.

図５に示すように、嵌挿部６０の下面６０２には、同図中、左右の両端に近い位置に、それぞれ可動部６１が設けられている。この可動部６１は、図６に示すように、嵌挿部６０に延設された基部６１１と、弾性を有する棒状の可動体６１２と、可動体６１２を図中、左右方向のほぼ中央で揺動可能に支持する連結部６１３とを備えている。また、可動体６１２のカバー本体部５０側に位置する先端に、フック６１４が形成されている。取手孔カバー３５は、合成樹脂により一体的に形成されている。このため、連結部６１３は可撓性を有しており、その可撓性によって連結部６１３は可動体６１２を付勢して支持している。すなわち、取手孔カバー３５が単体の場合には、連結部６１３はフック６１４がカバー本体部５０の下面に接近するように可動体６１２を付勢しており、可動体６１２は、カバー本体部５０の軸線Ｌ２とほぼ平行な方向に向いている。   As shown in FIG. 5, movable portions 61 are provided on the lower surface 602 of the insertion portion 60 at positions close to the left and right ends in the drawing. As shown in FIG. 6, the movable portion 61 includes a base 611 extending to the fitting insertion portion 60, an elastic rod-shaped movable body 612, and a movable body 612 that swings at approximately the center in the left-right direction in the drawing. And a connecting portion 613 that is movably supported. Further, a hook 614 is formed at the tip of the movable body 612 located on the cover main body 50 side. The handle hole cover 35 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin. For this reason, the connecting portion 613 has flexibility, and the connecting portion 613 biases and supports the movable body 612 by the flexibility. That is, when the handle hole cover 35 is a single body, the connecting portion 613 biases the movable body 612 so that the hook 614 approaches the lower surface of the cover main body portion 50, and the movable body 612 includes the cover main body portion 50. It faces in a direction substantially parallel to the axis L2.

また、図５に示すように、可動部６１の挿入方向の奥側（同図中、上方）のカバー本体部５０の下面５０２には、それぞれ案内用突部６２が設けられている。この案内用突部６２は、図２および図５に示すように、平面視コ字形状に形成されている。また、案内用突部６２は、カバー本体部５０の奥側から手前側（図２中、左側から右側）に向けて高くなるように傾斜して設けられている。この案内用突部６２によって、取手孔３３へのカバー本体部５０の挿入を案内することができるとともに、取手孔３３へのカバー本体部５０の挿入の際に、側板３１への衝突から可動部６１を保護することができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5, guide protrusions 62 are respectively provided on the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50 on the back side (upward in the figure) in the insertion direction of the movable portion 61. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the guide protrusion 62 is formed in a U shape in plan view. Further, the guide projection 62 is provided so as to be inclined from the back side of the cover main body 50 toward the front side (from the left side to the right side in FIG. 2). The guide protrusion 62 can guide the insertion of the cover main body 50 into the handle hole 33, and when the cover main body 50 is inserted into the handle hole 33, the movable portion is prevented from colliding with the side plate 31. 61 can be protected.

また、図２および図５に示すように、両端の可動部６１の間には、薄板状の傾斜突部６３が複数（この実施形態では５個）並んで設けられている。この傾斜突部６３は、取手孔３３へのカバー本体部５０の挿入方向（図５中、上下方向）に長く、カバー本体部５０の下面５０２から嵌挿部６０の下面６０２に亘って設けられている。傾斜突部６３のうちカバー本体部５０の下面５０２に対応する部分である案内部６３１は、側面視で案内用突部６２とほぼ同一の傾斜を有するように形成されている。また、傾斜突部６３のうち嵌挿部６０の下面６０２に対応する部分である当接部６３２は、図６に示すように、表面が嵌挿部６０の上面６０１とほぼ平行になるように形成されている。   Also, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, a plurality of thin plate-like inclined protrusions 63 (five in this embodiment) are provided between the movable parts 61 at both ends. The inclined protrusion 63 is long in the insertion direction of the cover main body 50 into the handle hole 33 (vertical direction in FIG. 5), and is provided from the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50 to the lower surface 602 of the fitting insertion portion 60. ing. A guide portion 631, which is a portion corresponding to the lower surface 502 of the cover main body portion 50, of the inclined protrusion 63 is formed to have substantially the same inclination as the guide protrusion 62 in a side view. Further, the contact portion 632 corresponding to the lower surface 602 of the fitting insertion portion 60 in the inclined protrusion 63 has a surface substantially parallel to the upper surface 601 of the fitting insertion portion 60 as shown in FIG. Is formed.

また、図４および図６に示すように、カバー本体部５０の上面５０１には、嵌挿部６０の上面６０１との境界に沿って、抜け止め用突部５２が設けられている。この抜け止め用突部５２は、取手孔カバー３５の幅方向（図４中、左右方向）に長く形成され、図６に示すように、嵌挿部６０の上面６０１に対して垂直に立設されるように、側面視三角形に形成されている。このように、この実施形態では、傾斜突部６３の当接部６３２が本発明の「当接用突部」に相当する。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, a retaining protrusion 52 is provided on the upper surface 501 of the cover main body 50 along the boundary with the upper surface 601 of the fitting insertion portion 60. The retaining projection 52 is formed long in the width direction (left and right direction in FIG. 4) of the handle hole cover 35, and stands upright with respect to the upper surface 601 of the fitting insertion portion 60 as shown in FIG. As shown, it is formed in a triangular shape in side view. Thus, in this embodiment, the contact portion 632 of the inclined protrusion 63 corresponds to the “contact protrusion” of the present invention.

次に、取手孔カバー３５の取手孔３３への取付けについて説明する。図７は筐体３の側板３１の部分断面図、図８は取手孔カバー３５が取手孔３３に取り付けられた状態を示す部分断面図である。   Next, attachment of the handle hole cover 35 to the handle hole 33 will be described. FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view of the side plate 31 of the housing 3, and FIG. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state where the handle hole cover 35 is attached to the handle hole 33.

取手孔カバー３５のカバー本体部５０を筐体３の外側（図７および図８中、右側）から取手孔３３に挿入すると、カバー本体部５０の上面５０１および下面５０２が取手孔３３の内周面３３１に摺接しつつ挿入が案内される。次に、傾斜突部６３の案内部６３１および案内用突部６２が取手孔３３の内周面３３１に摺接しつつ挿入がさらに案内される。さらに続いて、傾斜突部６３の当接部６３２および可動体６１２が内周面３３１に摺接しつつ挿入が案内される。このとき、可動体６１２は弾性を有し、たとえば撓みつつ内周面３３１に摺接するため、可動体６１２が取手孔３３への挿入の妨げとなることはない。また、連結部６１３はフック６１４がカバー本体部５０の下面５０２に接近するように可動体６１２を付勢しているため、フック６１４が嵌挿部６０の取手孔３３への挿入の妨げとなることはない。   When the cover main body 50 of the handle hole cover 35 is inserted into the handle hole 33 from the outside of the housing 3 (on the right side in FIGS. 7 and 8), the upper surface 501 and the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50 become the inner periphery of the handle hole 33. Insertion is guided while being in sliding contact with the surface 331. Next, the insertion is further guided while the guide portion 631 and the guide protrusion 62 of the inclined protrusion 63 are in sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface 331 of the handle hole 33. Further, the insertion is guided while the contact portion 632 and the movable body 612 of the inclined protrusion 63 are in sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface 331. At this time, since the movable body 612 has elasticity and is slidably contacted with the inner peripheral surface 331 while being bent, for example, the movable body 612 does not hinder insertion into the handle hole 33. Further, since the connecting portion 613 biases the movable body 612 so that the hook 614 approaches the lower surface 502 of the cover main body portion 50, the hook 614 prevents the fitting insertion portion 60 from being inserted into the handle hole 33. There is nothing.

そして、嵌挿部６０が取手孔３３の内周面３３１に嵌まり込むと、抜け止め用突部５２が取手孔３３の上側周縁の筐体３の内側面３１１に係止するとともに、可動体６１２が取手孔３３の内周面３３１により押されて付勢力に抗して揺動して、フック６１４が取手孔３３の下側周縁の筐体３の内側面３１１に係止する。ここで、可動体６１２は、取手孔３３の内周面３３１により押されているため、フック６１４の係止が確実に行われる。さらにまた、フランジ部７０が取手孔３３の周縁の筐体３の外側面３１２に設けられたフランジ嵌挿用凹部３１２ａに当接する。これによって、取手孔カバー３５が確実に筐体３に固定される。   When the fitting insertion portion 60 is fitted into the inner peripheral surface 331 of the handle hole 33, the retaining projection 52 is locked to the inner side surface 311 of the casing 3 on the upper peripheral edge of the handle hole 33, and the movable body. 612 is pushed by the inner peripheral surface 331 of the handle hole 33 and swings against the urging force, and the hook 614 engages with the inner side surface 311 of the casing 3 at the lower peripheral edge of the handle hole 33. Here, since the movable body 612 is pressed by the inner peripheral surface 331 of the handle hole 33, the hook 614 is reliably locked. Furthermore, the flange portion 70 comes into contact with a flange fitting insertion recess 312 a provided on the outer surface 312 of the casing 3 at the periphery of the handle hole 33. As a result, the handle hole cover 35 is securely fixed to the housing 3.

このように、この実施形態によれば、嵌挿部６０の下面６０２に設けられた連結部６１３と、可動体６１２のカバー本体部５０側に位置する先端に形成されたフック６１４と、連結部６１３によって、フック６１４がカバー本体部５０の下面５０２に接近する方向に付勢されるとともに揺動可能に支持された可動体６１２とを備え、取手孔３３の内周面３３１への嵌挿部６０の嵌まり込みにより、可動体６１２が揺動してフック６１４が取手孔３３の周縁の筐体３の内側面３１１に係止するとともに、フランジ部７０が取手孔３３の周縁の筐体３の外側面３１２に当接するため、フック６１４による係止とフランジ部７０による当接とによって、取手孔カバー３５を確実に筐体３の取手孔３３に取り付けることができる。また、ねじなどの別の固定部材を用いておらず、カバー本体部５０を取手孔３３に挿入して嵌挿部６０を取手孔３３に嵌め込むだけでよいので、取手孔３３への取付けの作業性を大幅に向上することができる。   Thus, according to this embodiment, the connecting portion 613 provided on the lower surface 602 of the fitting insertion portion 60, the hook 614 formed on the tip of the movable body 612 located on the cover body portion 50 side, and the connecting portion And a movable body 612 that is urged by 613 in a direction in which the hook 614 approaches the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50 and is swingably supported, and the fitting insertion portion of the handle hole 33 to the inner peripheral surface 331 60, the movable body 612 swings and the hook 614 is locked to the inner surface 311 of the casing 3 at the periphery of the handle hole 33, and the flange portion 70 is positioned at the periphery of the handle hole 33. Therefore, the handle hole cover 35 can be securely attached to the handle hole 33 of the housing 3 by the locking by the hook 614 and the contact by the flange portion 70. Further, since another fixing member such as a screw is not used, it is only necessary to insert the cover main body portion 50 into the handle hole 33 and fit the fitting insertion portion 60 into the handle hole 33. Workability can be greatly improved.

また、この実施形態によれば、奥部５１が閉塞された四角筒状のカバー本体部５０を用い、しかもフランジ部７０を取手孔３３の凹部３１２ａに嵌挿させているため、筐体３の側板３１を貫通して穿設されている取手孔３３をほぼ密閉することができ、外部から筐体３内に異物を挿入して行う不正ないわゆるゴト行為を確実に防止することができる。   Further, according to this embodiment, since the rectangular tubular cover main body portion 50 with the back portion 51 closed is used and the flange portion 70 is inserted into the recess 312a of the handle hole 33, the housing 3 The handle hole 33 penetrating through the side plate 31 can be almost sealed, and an illegal so-called got action performed by inserting a foreign substance into the housing 3 from the outside can be surely prevented.

また、この実施形態によれば、合成樹脂で形成された可動体６１２は弾性を有するため、可動体６１２が取手孔３３への挿入の妨げとなるのを防止することができる。また、連結部６１３と可動体６１２と基部６１１と嵌挿部６０とを合成樹脂により一体的に形成しているため、可撓性を有し、その可撓性により可動体６１２を付勢して支持する連結部６１３を簡易な構成で容易に実現することができる。また、連結部６１３は、フック６１４がカバー本体部５０の下面５０２に接近するように可動体６１２を付勢しているため、フック６１４がカバー本体部５０の取手孔３３への挿入の妨げとなるのを確実に防止できる。   Further, according to this embodiment, since the movable body 612 made of synthetic resin has elasticity, it is possible to prevent the movable body 612 from interfering with the insertion into the handle hole 33. Further, since the connecting portion 613, the movable body 612, the base portion 611, and the fitting insertion portion 60 are integrally formed of synthetic resin, it has flexibility, and the movable body 612 is urged by the flexibility. Thus, the connecting portion 613 supported can be easily realized with a simple configuration. Further, since the connecting portion 613 urges the movable body 612 so that the hook 614 approaches the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50, the hook 614 prevents the cover main body 50 from being inserted into the handle hole 33. Can be reliably prevented.

また、この実施形態によれば、カバー本体部５０の下面５０２から嵌挿部６０の下面６０２に亘って、可動部６１に並んで傾斜突部６３を設けており、傾斜突部６３のうち嵌挿部６０の下面６０２に対応する部分である当接部６３２が、取手孔３３の内周面３３１への嵌挿部６０の嵌まり込みにより該内周面３３１に当接するため、可動体６１２および当接部６３２に平均した力が加わることから、可動体６１２のみに無理な力が加えられて可動体６１２が破損するような事態を避けることができる。   Further, according to this embodiment, the inclined protrusion 63 is provided along the movable portion 61 from the lower surface 502 of the cover main body portion 50 to the lower surface 602 of the fitting insertion portion 60. Since the abutting portion 632 corresponding to the lower surface 602 of the insertion portion 60 abuts on the inner peripheral surface 331 by fitting the fitting insertion portion 60 into the inner peripheral surface 331 of the handle hole 33, the movable body 612. Since an average force is applied to the contact portion 632, a situation in which an excessive force is applied only to the movable body 612 and the movable body 612 is damaged can be avoided.

また、この実施形態によれば、カバー本体部５０の下面５０２の可動体６１２の挿入方向の奥側には、カバー本体部５０の取手孔３３への挿入を案内する案内用突部６２が設けられているため、カバー本体部５０を取手孔３３に滑らかに挿入することができる。また、この案内用突部６２によって、可動体６１２が取手孔３３の内周面３３１に衝突して破損するのを未然に防止することができる。   Further, according to this embodiment, the guide protrusion 62 for guiding the insertion of the cover main body 50 into the handle hole 33 is provided on the back side of the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50 in the insertion direction of the movable body 612. Therefore, the cover body 50 can be smoothly inserted into the handle hole 33. Further, the guide protrusion 62 can prevent the movable body 612 from colliding with the inner peripheral surface 331 of the handle hole 33 and being damaged.

また、この実施形態によれば、嵌挿部６０が取手孔３３の内周面３３１に嵌まり込んだ状態で、カバー本体部５０の奥部５１の上端５１ａが嵌挿部６０の上面６０１より上方に位置しているため、筐体３を持ち運ぶべく取手孔カバー３５に手を差し込むと指先が嵌挿部６０に対してカバー本体部５０の奥部５１で上に向くことから、筐体３の持ち運びを容易に行うことができる。   Further, according to this embodiment, the upper end 51 a of the back portion 51 of the cover main body portion 50 is more than the upper surface 601 of the insertion portion 60 in a state where the insertion portion 60 is fitted to the inner peripheral surface 331 of the handle hole 33. Since it is located above, when the hand is inserted into the handle hole cover 35 so as to carry the housing 3, the fingertip faces upward at the back portion 51 of the cover main body portion 50 with respect to the fitting insertion portion 60. Can be carried easily.

なお、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、その趣旨を逸脱しない限りにおいて上述したもの以外に種々の変更を行うことが可能である。例えば図９、図１０に示す形態の取手孔カバー３５でもよい。図９は別の形態の取手孔カバーを示す左側面図、図１０は図９の取手孔カバーが取手孔に取り付けられた状態を示す部分断面図である。図９および図１０では、上記実施形態と同一構成要素には同一符号を付している。   The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the handle hole cover 35 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 may be used. FIG. 9 is a left side view showing another embodiment of the handle hole cover, and FIG. 10 is a partial sectional view showing a state in which the handle hole cover of FIG. 9 is attached to the handle hole. In FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same component as the said embodiment.

この形態では、カバー本体部５０の上面５０１は、ほぼ水平、すなわち取手孔３３の中心軸Ｌ３とほぼ平行になっており、カバー本体部５０の下面５０２は奥部５１側が中心軸Ｌ３に接近する方向に傾斜している。また、嵌挿部６０の上面６０１はほぼ水平で、カバー本体部５０の上面５０１とほぼ同一面を形成すべく上面５０１に延設されている。また、嵌挿部６０の下面６０２は、カバー本体部５０側が中心軸Ｌ３に接近する方向に傾斜しており、カバー本体部５０の下面５０２とほぼ同一面を形成すべく下面５０２に延設されている。このように、この形態では、嵌挿部６０の下面６０２が本発明の「係止側面」に相当し、嵌挿部６０の上面６０１が本発明の「係止側面の反対面」に相当する。   In this embodiment, the upper surface 501 of the cover main body 50 is substantially horizontal, that is, substantially parallel to the central axis L3 of the handle hole 33, and the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50 is closer to the central axis L3 on the back side 51 side. Inclined in the direction. Further, the upper surface 601 of the fitting insertion portion 60 is substantially horizontal and extends on the upper surface 501 so as to form substantially the same surface as the upper surface 501 of the cover main body portion 50. Further, the lower surface 602 of the insertion portion 60 is inclined in a direction in which the cover main body 50 side approaches the central axis L3, and is extended to the lower surface 502 so as to form substantially the same surface as the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50. ing. Thus, in this embodiment, the lower surface 602 of the insertion portion 60 corresponds to the “locking side surface” of the present invention, and the upper surface 601 of the insertion portion 60 corresponds to the “opposite surface of the locking side surface” of the present invention. .

そして、図９および図１０に示す取手孔カバー３５の取手孔３３への取付手順は上記実施形態と全く同様であり、この形態でも、取手孔カバー３５を確実に筐体３の取手孔３３に取り付けることができ、取手孔３３への取付けの作業性を大幅に向上することができるなど、上記実施形態と同様の効果を奏することができる。ただし、この形態では、カバー本体部５０の上面５０１から嵌挿部６０の上面６０１までほぼ水平であり、筐体３を持ち運ぶべく取手孔カバー３５に手を差し込んでも、指先が嵌挿部６０に対してカバー本体部５０の奥部５１で上に向くことがないため、筐体３の持ち運びについては、上記実施形態の方が容易に行える。なお、この形態でも、カバー本体部５０の下面５０２に案内用突部６２を形成しているが（図９、図１０を参照）、この案内用突部６２は特に必要ではなく削除しても構わない。   The procedure for attaching the handle hole cover 35 to the handle hole 33 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is exactly the same as that of the above embodiment. In this embodiment, the handle hole cover 35 is securely attached to the handle hole 33 of the housing 3. It can be attached, and it is possible to achieve the same effects as in the above-described embodiment, for example, the workability of attachment to the handle hole 33 can be greatly improved. However, in this embodiment, the upper surface 501 of the cover main body 50 is substantially horizontal from the upper surface 601 of the fitting insertion portion 60, and even if the hand is inserted into the handle hole cover 35 to carry the housing 3, the fingertip is not inserted into the fitting insertion portion 60. On the other hand, since it does not face upward at the back part 51 of the cover main body part 50, the above embodiment can be performed more easily for carrying the housing 3. In this embodiment, the guide protrusion 62 is formed on the lower surface 502 of the cover main body 50 (see FIGS. 9 and 10). However, the guide protrusion 62 is not particularly necessary and may be deleted. I do not care.

また、上記実施形態では、可動体６１２を嵌挿部６０の下面６０２に設け、抜け止め用突部５２をカバー本体部５０の上面５０１に設けているが、可動体６１２および抜け止め用突部５２を設ける位置は、これに限られない。たとえば可動体６１２を嵌挿部６０の上面６０１に設け、抜け止め用突部５２をカバー本体部５０の下面５０２に設けてもよい。あるいはまた、左右の面など、それぞれ他の面に設けてもよい。ただし、係止による固定のための力を考えると、可動体６１２および抜け止め用突部５２は、互いに対向する面に設けるのが好ましい。この可動体６１２および抜け止め用突部５２を設ける位置については、図９および図１０に示す形態でも同様である。   In the above embodiment, the movable body 612 is provided on the lower surface 602 of the fitting insertion portion 60 and the retaining projection 52 is disposed on the upper surface 501 of the cover main body 50. However, the movable body 612 and the retaining projection are provided. The position where 52 is provided is not limited to this. For example, the movable body 612 may be provided on the upper surface 601 of the fitting insertion portion 60, and the retaining projection 52 may be provided on the lower surface 502 of the cover main body portion 50. Alternatively, they may be provided on other surfaces such as the left and right surfaces. However, considering the fixing force by locking, it is preferable to provide the movable body 612 and the retaining protrusion 52 on the surfaces facing each other. The positions where the movable body 612 and the retaining protrusion 52 are provided are the same in the configurations shown in FIGS.

また、上記実施形態では、取手孔３３はほぼ矩形にしているが、これに限られず、他の形状でもよい。この場合、カバー本体部５０および嵌挿部６０の断面外形は、取手孔３３の形状に合わせてほぼ同一形状に形成すればよい。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the handle hole 33 is made into the substantially rectangular shape, it is not restricted to this, Another shape may be sufficient. In this case, the cross-sectional outer shapes of the cover main body 50 and the fitting insertion portion 60 may be formed in substantially the same shape according to the shape of the handle hole 33.

また、上記実施形態ではスロットマシンとしているが、これに限られず、パチンコ機などの他の遊技機としてもよい。   In the above embodiment, the slot machine is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other gaming machines such as a pachinko machine may be used.
