A controller receiving a signal which indicates that the IR sensor 20 recognizes existence of the player operates the blower 3 and the negative ion supplier 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to game equipment, and more particularly to an improvement in technology for partitioning non-smokers and smokers who play adjacent to each other with an air curtain in a game room provided with a pachinko machine or a slot machine.

  Technology that allows anyone to enjoy the game by partitioning between non-smokers and smoking customers who play adjacent to each other with air blown from a blower in a game room with a pachinko machine, slot machine, etc. There is.

Such techniques are described in the following documents.
JP-A-8-247520

  Here, in the above prior art, the customers who play in the adjacent seats are simply separated by an air curtain, and the side smoke flow resulting from smoking in the game room fills the room, which is indirect. The problem that there were customers who complained of symptoms such as the harmful effects of passive smoking and the pain in their eyes that would cause them to smoke.

  Therefore, the present invention allows a smoker to smoke without hesitation of a customer who is playing adjacently, and allows a non-smoker to play without feeling uncomfortable, such as harm due to the above-mentioned secondary smoke flow, and eye pain. A gaming machine that can be used.

  The gaming equipment of the present invention is attached to the upper part of a plurality of gaming machines provided side by side, a blower that blows air toward each player who plays adjacently, and negative ions that supply negative ions And a feeder.

  Further, the blower and the negative ion feeder are operated by a manual switch.

  The gaming equipment of the present invention is attached to the upper part of a plurality of gaming machines provided side by side, and air is directed between a sensor for recognizing the presence of a player and each of the players who play adjacent to each other. The blower and the negative ion supply device are operated by a control device that receives a signal that the sensor recognizes the presence of the player, and a negative ion supply device that supplies negative ions. It is characterized by.

  Further, the blower has a deodorant and a fragrance incorporated therein.

  According to the present invention, a smoker can smoke without hesitation of a customer who plays adjacently, and a non-smoker can play a game without feeling uncomfortable such as harm caused by the side smoke flow and eye hurt. it can.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, the structure of a gaming facility to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 are a perspective view, a front view, and a side view showing a gaming table in which a plurality of gaming machines are provided side by side, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a blower attached to the gaming machine.

  FIG. 1 shows a gaming table 2 in which six gaming machines 1 are arranged side by side. The gaming machine 1 includes a pachinko machine, a slot machine, and the like. In the present embodiment, the present invention will be described using the pachinko machine.

  3 is a blower attached to the upper part of each adjacent gaming machine 1 constituting the gaming table 2, and a fan is rotated by the operation of a motor built in the blower 3 to create air. As shown, the air blown from the blower 3 partitions the players sitting on the adjacent seats 4.

  Here, the downward arrows in the figure indicate the flow of air, and the air blown out from the outlet 5 is directed toward the player seated on the seat 4 from the front position of the gaming machine 1. It is blown out in a form that widens the hem. As a result, players sitting on adjacent seats are separated from each other by air curtains, so smokers can smoke without bothering adjacent players, and non-smokers can suffer from sidestream smoke damage. You can enjoy the game without feeling uncomfortable.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the blower 3 is provided with an air outlet 5 for blowing air on the lower surface thereof, and a manual switch 6 for operating the blower 3 is provided on the front surface thereof. The blower 3 contains a deodorant or a fragrance and is supplied from the blowout port 5 together with air when the blower 3 is operated.

  In FIG. 3, reference numeral 10 denotes a negative ion supply device that supplies negative ions, which are said to have a healing effect and a deodorizing effect, together with the air, in conjunction with the blower 3. The negative ion feeder 10 may have a switch separately from the blower 3 and may be operated separately.

  Reference numeral 11 denotes an exhaust port installed on the ceiling of the game room. By operating a ventilation fan (not shown), a sub-smoke flow in the game room is exhausted by an air flow as indicated by an upward arrow in FIG. For this reason, the game room is always kept clean.

  12 is an AC wiring having an outlet connected to an AC power source. The AC wiring 12 is connected to a DC converter 13, and a potential obtained by DC conversion from AC through the DC converter 13 is a DC wiring 14. The wiring 14 is supplied to each gaming machine 1 through a connector 15 that is branched and supplied.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the blower 3 and the negative ion supply machine 10 are operated using the manual switch 6, but by actually recognizing the presence of the player, the blower 3 and A control system that automatically operates the negative ion feeder 10 may be adopted.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a sensor such as an infrared sensor 20 is installed at a desired position of the game table 2 so that the player can recognize the presence of the player while sitting on the seat 4, and the infrared sensor A signal that 20 recognizes the presence of the player is sent to a control device (CPU) (not shown) on the main body side of the game machine, and the blower 3 and the negative ion supply device 10 are operated according to a command from the CPU that has received the signal. I will let you.

  By adopting such a configuration, the blower 3 and the negative ion supply machine 10 are operated with the infrared sensor 20 actually recognizing the presence of the player. In the case of the method used, when the blower 3 and the negative ion supply machine 10 are operating for a seat where there is no player, the employee may turn off the switch. The problem disappears. Further, in this embodiment, there is no need to worry about consuming unnecessary power due to forgetting to turn off the switch, which is very economical.

  The infrared sensor 20 may be installed on the front surface of the blower 3 so as to irradiate the player with infrared rays from the upper right side of the player to recognize the presence of the player.

1 is a perspective view showing a gaming table in which a plurality of gaming machines according to an embodiment of the present invention are provided side by side. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a gaming table in which a plurality of gaming machines according to an embodiment of the present invention are provided side by side. 1 is a side view showing a gaming table in which a plurality of gaming machines according to an embodiment of the present invention are provided side by side. It is a perspective view of the air blower attached to the game equipment concerning one Embodiment of this invention.
