Abstract

A transparent plate formed by a plate (2) and at least one leg (3), the principle of which is that its plate is transparent in the direction from the underside of the plate to the top thereof, wherein at least one sensing device (4) is arranged beneath it. checking the events and activities above the table top.

Description

Technical field

The invention relates to a transparent table which provides the possibility of controlling the activities taking place over the table. This solution can advantageously be used as a gaming table or work control table.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Gambling is popular worldwide, but unfortunately there are players who do not play fair, as in all industries. Gaming tables with a solid opaque board, often covered with a skirt, and surveillance systems are used when playing games, with cameras placed above the table to capture each player and his hands from above. Until then, no one has been concerned about what lies behind the hands of potential unfair players. In a similar way, with monitoring systems located above the table, there is a control of activities that take place over working, control, etc. tables.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to provide a transparent table which provides the possibility of controlling (immediate and continuous) the activities that take place over the table. In the case of using a table, for example, as a gaming invention, it ensures the control of players in gambling and thus the fairness of the games.

The above-mentioned disadvantages are eliminated by a transparent table formed by a plate and at least one leg, the principle of which is that its plate is transparent in the direction from the underside of the plate to its upper side, with at least one sensing device arranged thereon above the top of the table top.

In order to ensure a thorough control over the top of the table top, it is advantageous if the transparent table has a transparent table in both directions.

The transmittance to the light and thus to the objective of the sensing device can advantageously be provided by a one-way transparent plastic film adhered to a transparent, e.g. glass, plate of a transparent table.

Preferably, the top side of the plate is provided with an anti-reflective surface to prevent undesired reflections.

To simplify the monitoring of activities above the top of the transparent table, it is advantageous if the scanning device is a camera.

Advantageously, the transparent table plate may be formed by three layers. In this case, the backsheet is a clear or highly transparent material, such as glass or plastic. The middle layer consists of a semi-transparent security film and the top layer consists of a clear or highly transparent material, eg glass, with an anti-reflective finish. Glass, as a traditional material, is preferably used for its hardness, durability and hygiene. In the lower layer, the glass can also be replaced by a plastic material, which reduces the weight of the plate. Safety semi-transparent foil meeting safety standards ensures that the glass does not spill when the plate breaks, and allows the use of clear or highly transparent materials in the bottom and top layers.

This transparent table eliminates the above disadvantages and thus protects the operators of these devices. Under a transparent table with a semi-transparent or transparent plate, one or more sensing devices can be placed, which can form integrated camera systems interconnected by known methods both on the one hand and connected to the existing transmission and monitoring system. There is also the possibility of transmitting events over the top of the transparent table top plate wirelessly.

The transparent table allows you to follow what is happening above the table during various activities from under the board (eg allows you to track the hands of players), which has not been possible by this time. Compared to the existing monitoring system, where several cameras are needed but still occupy the top of the table top, the proposed transparent table simplifies the monitoring activities, makes them cheaper and more efficient. The table reveals what has been hidden.

The transparent table can also be used in the handling of valuable items, raw materials, etc., for example, in sorting diamonds in diamond mines, and in other areas where close control of events is required.

Overview of the drawings

The technical solution according to the invention will be explained in more detail by means of Fig. 1, which shows a side view of the transparent table under which the sensing device is located, and Fig. 2, which shows a top view of the transparent table.

Example of implementation

The transparent table 1 shown in FIG. 1 consists of a plate 2 of transparent or semi-transparent material, for example glass or other clear material, to which the legs 3 are fixed in a known manner. Below the transparent table 1 is a sensing device 4, e.g. It senses all the events taking place above the top side of the transparent table plate 2. The sensing device 4 can advantageously be located above the center of the plan view of the transparent table 1, e.g. on the leg junction 3 of the transparent table 1. FIG. 4. The camera records everything and transmits it to the monitor to the operator, who thus has perfect control of these activities, or the recording is backed up for possible additional control. It is not important what shape, size or design such a table 1 has.

It is also irrelevant whether the plate 2 of the transparent table 1, the playing or working control board, is transparent only from one side of the plate 2 upwards or the plate 2 is transparent in both directions and also of what shape it is.

If the plate 2 is made of glass, the glass may be colored in such a way that the plate does not differ much in appearance from the existing plates and does not interfere (eg green or reddish-brown color) without adversely affecting the transparency of the glass. Possible reflections in the glass can be eliminated by antireflective surface treatment.

The design of the playing or working control transparent table 1 with a plate 2 made of semi-transparent material does not alter its construction in any way. The light transmittance and thus the camera lens can be provided by a plastic film adhered to the transparent table glass plate 2, for example a perforated, unidirectionally transparent film, e.g. glass of office buildings as well as transparent acrylic and polycarbonate. The MAO 40 printing method can be screen printing, airbrush, electro static and inkjet solvent inks. After the MAO 40 has been printed and glued to the top of the plate 2, the scanning camera will have control over the persons who will operate, for example, card games over such a modified playing or working control transparent table 1, such transparency does not limit visibility in the lens direction. The foil surface is white and the adhesive side is black. The unidirectionally transparent film is provided with a plurality of apertures preferably of a rectangular cross-section, the dimensions of which provide only one direction of vision. In addition, symbols may be provided on the foil that are necessary to operate various games.

Industrial applicability

The transparent table can be used as a gaming table especially in casinos or gambling rooms, but also as a work or control table in hotels, banking institutions, precious metal processing plants, ie wherever there is a need for perfect control, whether on guests, customers or employees and their activities (monetary transactions, precious metals, objects and the like).
