The present invention relates to a foot support applicable in recreational machines, whether gaming, gambling or betting, without discarding any other type of machine related to those previously mentioned.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir una mejora ergonómica en la estructura general de una máquina recreativa para permitir que el usuario o jugador pueda realizar la actividad del juego de forma mucho mas cómoda, lo que le permite continuar con la actividad durante un periodo de tiempo mas prolongado. The object of the invention is to achieve an ergonomic improvement in the general structure of a recreational machine to allow the user or player to perform the game activity much more conveniently, which allows him to continue with the activity for a period of time. more prolonged

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Se conocen numerosos y variados tipos de máquinas recreativas, aunque en todos los casos las máquinas están realizadas pensando en mejorar siempre el método de juego y sus sistemas, sin pensar nunca en la postura o comodidad del usuario o jugador que realiza su actividad delante de la máquina. Numerous and varied types of recreational machines are known, although in all cases the machines are made thinking of always improving the game method and its systems, without ever thinking about the posture or comfort of the user or player who performs his activity in front of the machine.

No obstante, entre las máquinas recreativas existen modelos con un frente de las mismas que en algunos casos presenta un plano inclinado inferior y frontal, que aunque permite el apoyo del pie del usuario, sin embargo ese apoyo frontal no está previsto para tal fin, sino únicamente como configuración estética de la máquina, y lo que es mas importante, aquellas máquinas que incluyen ese plano inclinado inferior, en el caso de que pueda ser utilizado para apoyo del pie del usuario, sin embargo tiene una configuración ergonómicamente incorrecta, puesto que no solamente no permite una posición relajada del pie del usuario o jugador, sino que además provoca cansancio y fatiga puesto que ese plano inclinado no está previsto precisamente para el apoyo cómodo del pie del usuario o jugador. However, among the recreational machines there are models with a front of them that in some cases have a lower and frontal inclined plane, which although allows the user's foot support, however that frontal support is not intended for this purpose, but only as an aesthetic configuration of the machine, and more importantly, those machines that include that lower inclined plane, in the case that it can be used to support the user's foot, however it has an ergonomically incorrect configuration, since it does not It does not only allow a relaxed position of the foot of the user or player, but also causes fatigue and fatigue since that inclined plane is not intended precisely for the comfortable support of the foot of the user or player.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El soporte que se preconiza ha sido concebido para resolver la problemática anteriormente expuesta, siendo aplicable a cualquier tipo de máquina recreativa de las existentes en el mercado, e incluso de otras que pudieran innovarse y comercializarse. The support that has been recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, being applicable to any type of recreational machine existing in the market, and even others that could be innovated and marketed.

Más concretamente, el soporte de la invención está constituido por un elemento transversal que se fija en correspondencia con la parte frontal e inferior de la máquina, a la altura conveniente para constituir un medio de apoyo para el pie del usuario, estableciendo un medio ergonómico situado por delante y distanciado del frente de la máquina y paralelo al suelo, a una cierta distancia también de éste, posibilitando en cualquier caso el apoyo del pie del usuario o jugador en una posición óptima de descanso, lo que permite a ese jugador o usuario realizar su actividad con mayor comodidad e incluso durante mas tiempo, viendo reducida su fatiga. More specifically, the support of the invention is constituted by a transverse element that is fixed in correspondence with the front and bottom of the machine, at a convenient height to constitute a support means for the user's foot, establishing an ergonomic means located in front and away from the front of the machine and parallel to the ground, at a certain distance also from the latter, allowing in any case the support of the foot of the user or player in an optimal resting position, which allows that player or user to perform your activity with greater comfort and even longer, seeing your fatigue reduced.

Evidentemente el pie o pies del usuario pueden ocupar diversas posiciones y movimientos, repercutiendo en el resto del cuerpo del jugador que podrá adquirir diversas y múltiples posturas, de manera que en función de cada usuario éste adquirirá aquellas posiciones que por su constitución mejor se adapten a su comodidad y relajación, reduciendo con ello la fatiga de ese usuario o jugador, buscando siempre la autoergonomía de cada individuo y permitiendo el poder seguir jugando o realizar dicha función de forma mas distendida y prolongada. Obviously the foot or feet of the user can occupy various positions and movements, impacting on the rest of the player's body that can acquire various and multiple positions, so that depending on each user he will acquire those positions that by his constitution best adapt to its comfort and relaxation, thereby reducing the fatigue of that user or player, always seeking the self-ergonomics of each individual and allowing the ability to continue playing or perform this function in a more relaxed and prolonged way.

El elemento que constituye el soporte puede estar formado por una simple barra, una pletina o cualquier otro elemento rígido que puede ir anclado directamente al frente de la máquina, a los laterales o incluso contar con elementos de anclaje y rigidización inferiores, aunque los anclajes pueden ser desmontables para permitir incluso el intercambio de soportes de distintas características, o en su caso de aplicación a distintos tipos de máquinas. The element that constitutes the support can be formed by a simple bar, a plate or any other rigid element that can be anchored directly to the front of the machine, to the sides or even have lower anchoring and stiffening elements, although the anchors can be removable to allow even the exchange of supports of different characteristics, or where applicable to different types of machines.

Por consiguiente, el soporte de la invención puede ser parte integrante del mueble que configura la propia máquina, o bien ser un elemento acoplable a la misma, de manera que en cualquier caso su misión es la de establecer un apoyo ergonómico para el pie del jugador y proporcionar mayor comodidad y menor fatiga para éste. Therefore, the support of the invention can be an integral part of the furniture that configures the machine itself, or be an element that can be attached to it, so that in any case its mission is to establish an ergonomic support for the player's foot and provide more comfort and less fatigue for it.

También cabe la posibilidad de que el soporte, en lugar de ir fijado rígidamente al mueble de la máquina, puede ir montado de forma basculante, e incluso deslizable. It is also possible that the support, instead of being rigidly fixed to the furniture of the machine, can be mounted in a tilting and even sliding way.

Por otro lado, se ha previsto que el soporte pueda complementarse con otros elementos adicionales que pueden tener por finalidad evitar el vuelco de la máquina, el reforzar su resistencia, recibir el anclaje al mueble, mejorar el diseño, o cualquier otra que se pueda considerar. On the other hand, it is foreseen that the support can be complemented with other additional elements that may have the purpose of preventing the machine from overturning, strengthening its resistance, receiving the anchor to the furniture, improving the design, or any other that can be considered .
