Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new handle cover for operating a pachinko stand at which an unspecified number of the general public play the game in order to get rid of a bad feeling which is felt by a new player who touches directly an operating handle. SOLUTION: An operating handle cover 1 is made of a thin sheet-shaped or a mesh and grid-made sheet of which material is highly expandable and extensive, e.g. paper pulp, urethane foam and the like. It is shaped semi- hemispheric and consists of an opening part 2 from which a projection of a rotation adjusting ring around a controlling handle for each thumb's hanging on are exposed. Before a game starts, the operating handle cover 1 is expanded, covered at an operating handle and kept itself there.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an operation handle cover for a pachinko game console.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A number of pachinko game machines are installed in a pachinko game hall, and an unspecified number of customers play games (play).
Normally, playing is achieved by appropriately adjusting the firing speed of the pachinko ball with the operation handle at the lower right of the hand.

[0003] Although this operation handle has a different design, it generally has a fixed body of a generally hemispherical plastic having a diameter of about 70 mm, and has a variety of designs on its outer surface. The base periphery is usually provided with an adjustable ring having a chrome-plated finish made of chrome-plated metal and having a plurality of thumb-hanging projections at appropriate locations around the metal, and also serving as a grounding portion.

FIGS. 2A and 2B are perspective views showing two examples of the basic shape. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a fixed handle main body, and reference numeral 11 denotes a chrome-plated rotation adjustment ring with a plurality of thumb hook projections 12 (grounded type).

[0005]

However, this type of operating handle is, as described above, a part that an unspecified number of various customers directly touch instead of each other. In general, female customers who demand a sense of cleanliness are areas where they may experience resistance to direct contact, and eliminating this kind of resistance even though there is practically no harm is It is extremely effective in attracting.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and has as its object to provide a new free-size handle cover that wraps the entire handle portion except for a thumb-hung projection of a plating portion that also serves as a grounding portion. And

[0007]

Therefore, in the present invention, the above object is achieved by providing such an operation handle cover of any one of the following items (1) to (3). It is.

(1) A substantially hemispherical free-size cover made of a sheet-like or mesh-like sheet material, and exposing a plurality of thumb-hanging projections of an adjusting rotation ring provided on an outer periphery of an operation handle main body. An operation handle cover for a pachinko game console, wherein the operation handle cover has an opening that allows the pachinko game machine to be operated.

(2) The operation handle cover of the pachinko game console according to (1), wherein the sheet material is provided with an antibacterial property.

(3) An elastic string ring member is added to the entire outer peripheral edge of the cover body.
The operation handle cover of the pachinko game console according to any of (2).

[0011]

With the provision of the novel handle cover according to the present invention as described above, the general uncleanness of an unspecified number of people, especially female customers, can be eliminated at low cost, and attracting customers to a game arcade. It can contribute to improvement.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
A detailed description will be given based on a representative embodiment with reference to the drawings.

[0013]

FIG. 1 shows a front plan view and a central sectional view of an embodiment of an operation handle cover of a pachinko game console according to the present invention.

The operation handle cover 1 is formed into a substantially hemispherical shape with a thin sheet or mesh-like mesh sheet material such as a paper pulp material, a paper towel material, a urethane foam material or the like, which is rich in elasticity / spreadability. It is configured to be self-contractingly attached and self-holding by expanding and covering the outer shape of the operation handle to be used in a free size. Protrusion 12
(FIG. 2) Each opening 2 is provided at a corresponding position.

As described above, the material of the cover is
Because of its inherent elasticity / extensibility, it is possible to use the same product for a slight difference in the diameter of the target operation handle or a slight difference in the number and position of the thumb hook projections. It can be configured to be virtually universal, capable of being shared / adapted.

In the center of the cover, if necessary, a plurality or a single opening 3 of any shape may be provided for adjusting the elasticity of the expansion and contraction of the sheet or at an appropriate position on the design.

With the basic structure as described above, each new customer can elastically extend a new book cover on the operation handle at the start of the game, and cover and self-hold the new book cover. The contact resistance can be alleviated, and each thumb hook protrusion 12
Since the chrome-plated surface is directly exposed through the openings 2, the thumb grounding can be performed on any of the projections 12 to satisfy the steering wheel grounding function without any trouble.

It should be noted that the material of the handle cover 1 of the above embodiment may be the cheapest material used by each customer in the disposable system, and it can be washed together and reused after each use. Of course, any possible material may be used.

(Other Embodiments) The operating handle cover can use the above-mentioned pulp material or foam material to which an antibacterial agent can be added to further emphasize the differentiation from other companies in the industry. is there.

Further, in order to enhance the self-holding property of the handle body of the present cover, as shown in a rear plan view and a central sectional view of an example of the cover body, as shown in FIG. The elastic string ring 4 may be added.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, the cleanliness of an unspecified number of customers can be satisfied by the industry's first, low-cost, substantially versatile operation handle cover. It can contribute to an increase in the number of customers through differentiation from other companies in the industry.
