Cabinet top for gaming machines

摘要

A cabinet top assembly may comprise a top plate having upper and lower surfaces and at least one mounting aperture therethrough, and a mounting fixture for mounting a gaming machine to the top plate. The mounting fixture may comprise a first mounting rail positioned below the top plate adjacent to the mounting aperture, an intermediate rail positioned below the top plate adjacent to the mounting aperture, and at least one mount member extendable between the first mounting rail and the intermediate member in a position adjacent to the mounting aperture. The at least one mount member may have a mount end configured to mount on the mounting rail in a manner resisting removal of the mount end from the mounting rail while permitting sliding of the mount member along the mounting rail, and a free end being freely abuttable against the intermediate rail.

1. A cabinet top assembly for supporting a gaming machine on a support cabinet, the cabinet top assembly comprising:
a top plate for resting the gaming machine thereon, the top plate having an upper surface, a lower surface, a front and a rear, the top plate having at least one mounting aperture therethrough; and a mounting fixture for mounting the gaming machine to the top plate, the mounting fixture being mounted on the top plate adjacent to the lower surface, the mounting fixture comprising:
a first mounting rail positioned below the top plate and extending adjacent to the at least one mounting aperture in the top plate, the first mounting rail being elongated along a longitudinal axis of the first mounting rail, the first mounting rail having a lateral axis oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first mounting rail;an intermediate rail positioned below the top plate and extending adjacent to the at least one mounting aperture opposite of the first mounting rail, the intermediate rail being elongated along a longitudinal axis of the intermediate rail, the intermediate rail having a lateral axis oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the intermediate rail;at least one mount member extendable between the first mounting rail and the intermediate rail in a position adjacent to the at least one mounting aperture, the at least one mount member having a mount end and a free end;wherein the mount end of the at least one mount member has a first structure being configured to mount on the first mounting rail in a manner trapping the mount end on the first mounting rail to thereby resist removal of the mount end from the first mounting rail along the lateral axis of the first mounting rail while permitting sliding of the at least one mount member on the first mounting rail along the longitudinal axis of the first mounting rail; andwherein the free end of the at least one mount member has a second structure configured to permit the free end to abut against the intermediate rail without directly attaching the free end to the intermediate rail in a manner trapping the free end on the intermediate rail to resist removal of the free end from the intermediate rail along the lateral axis of the intermediate rail when the first structure of the mount end of the at least one mount member is mounted on the first mounting rail.
