CZ302804B6 - Transparent table - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a transparent table consisting of a board (2) and at least one leg (3) wherein the invention is characterized in that the table board is transparent in the direction from the board bottom to the board upper side and in that at least one scanning device (4) for monitoring a process and activities above the table upper side is arranged below the table board.

Description

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 are used with fixed opaque, often cloth-covered, gaming tables, and surveillance systems where cameras are placed above the table and 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 (immediately and continuously) the activities taking place over the table. If the table is used, for example, as a gaming game, the invention will ensure the control of players in gambling, and thus the fairness of the game.

The above-mentioned disadvantages are overcome 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 lens of the sensing device may advantageously be provided by a one-way transparent plastic film adhered to a transparent, e.g. glass, table of the 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 in particular because of its hardness, durability and hygienic safety. In the lower layer, the glass can also be replaced by a plastic material, which reduces the weight of the plate. Safety semitransparent 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.

- 1 GB 302804 B6

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 they still occupy events above the table top only from the top of the ice. proposed in a transparent table monitoring activities ziednodušuie. and increases their effectiveness. 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.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION 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 I plate 2. The sensor 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 I. 4. The camera records and transmits everything to the monitor to the operator, who thus has complete 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 not important whether the board 2 of the transparent table 1, the playing or working control board, is transparent only from one side of the board 2 upwards or is the board 2 transparent in both directions, and also of its shape.

If the Π plate 2 consists of glass, the glass may be colored in such a way that the plate does not differ too 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 glass table 2 of the transparent table, for example a perforated, unidirectional transparent film, e.g. MAO 40, intended for advertising printing, screen printing, 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 printing the MAO 40 and sticking to the top of the board 2, the scanning camera will have control over the persons who will, for example, play card games over the modified playing or working control transpa2 through transparency.

Such a foil does not limit the visibility in the lens direction of the camera. The foil surface is white and the adhesive side is black. The unidirectional transparent film is provided with a plurality of apertures, preferably a rectangular cross-section, the dimensions of which provide a transparent view in only one direction. In addition, symbols may be provided on the foil that are necessary to operate various games.

with

Industrial applicability

The transparent table can be used as a game 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 it is necessary to have perfect control, whether on guests, customers or employees and their activities (money transactions, precious metals, objects and the like).
