Description

  The present invention relates to a decoration device that is installed in a game hall, a cafeteria, a coffee shop, a store, and the like, and is suitable for producing gorgeousness and liveliness.

  In amusement halls such as pachinko parlors, halls are often decorated with decorations such as banners, flags, pennants, plates, panels, dolls, figurines and curtains. For example, Christmas trees and Santa Claus dolls are often displayed near Christmas, and large fans and New Year's panels are often displayed during the New Year.

  In addition to these, examples of hall decorations for game halls such as pachinko parlors include those described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, for example.

JP 2002-360908 A JP 2004-8589 A

  The above-mentioned patent document 1 uses a display medium such as a decorative sheet, an LED display, a TV display, and a video projection device for various hall facilities such as a pachinko shop, and can display still images or moving images. An image is displayed or decorated. In addition, the device described in Patent Document 2 is an amusement island facility in which a pachinko machine or the like is installed, and changes the display mode by applying a voltage to the organic electroluminescent material (EL material) to emit light. The display area of the organic EL panel capable of enabling is provided on a curtain plate covering the upper side of the gaming machine.

  The one described in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2 displays information or a pattern whose display contents can be changed electrically, and is convenient for decoration of each gaming machine. Therefore, it is not suitable for decoration in halls for short-term events such as new store openings, Christmas, and New Year. On the other hand, decorative means that are widely adopted as decorations for events, such as the above-mentioned flags, banners, decorative panels, etc., need to be decorated in a hall or the like by some support means. Conventionally, flags, banners, and the like can be decorated with relative ease because the base of the bag to which the flag is attached is inserted into a cylindrical fixture. Also, posters and panels can be simply decorated on the walls of the hall, so they could be decorated relatively easily. However, an irregularly shaped decorative panel, for example, an elongated arch-like panel extending into the space, cannot be attached to the wall, so that it is difficult to support it.

  In addition, it is desirable to replace this type of panel with other designs from time to time to avoid getting bored. However, with conventional devices, it was difficult to hold the panel itself, so this was easily replaced. There was a problem that it was not possible. Therefore, the present invention can decorate a panel having a deformed shape with one end as a base and the other tip extending in an arch shape, for example, without using a wall surface, and relatively easily. It is an object to provide a decoration device that can be easily exchanged.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following configuration. That is, the decoration device according to the present invention described in claim 1 includes a holder that is fixed to a machine frame or the like, and a decoration panel that has a base that is detachably held by the holder. It comprises a base provided with fixing means for the machine frame and the like, and two plates standing in parallel from the base at a predetermined interval. The base of the panel is formed with a support surface that is placed on the base and a recess that is open to fit the support shaft. Further, the decoration device according to claim 2 is the decoration device according to claim 1, wherein the bottom of the base portion of the plate is rounded from the support surface on the lower side of the recess to the edge portion. It is what.

  The present invention described in claim 1 uses the holder for holding the panel fixed to an arbitrary structure such as a machine frame or a table of a gaming machine. A base portion of a panel having a predetermined thickness is inserted between the two plates of the holder, and a support shaft passed between the two plates is fitted into a recess formed in the base portion. When the lower support surface is placed on the base, the base is fixed by the support shaft and the support surface and does not rotate. For this reason, a panel can be attached easily and the replacement | exchange is also easy.

  Further, the decoration device according to claim 2 is the decoration device according to claim 1, wherein the panel is rounded from the support surface on the lower side of the recess in the base portion of the panel to the edge portion. Can be easily and smoothly attached and detached. That is, when the panel is mounted, the panel is inserted between both plates so that the opening of the recess is lateral to the support shaft of the holder, and the recess is directed upward with the support shaft fitted into the recess. The panel is rotated so that the corner portion of the base is rounded at this time, so that the corner portion of the panel is not caught on the upper surface of the base and can be rotated smoothly.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described. The decoration device 1 includes a holder 2 and a panel 3. The holder 2 includes a base 5 made of a flat plate, and two plates 6 and 6 are erected in parallel at a predetermined interval at the center of the base. The two plates 6 and 6 are, for example, transparent acrylic resin plates, the thickness t is several mm, for example, about 3 mm, and the interval s between the plates 6 and 6 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the panel 3. Is larger, for example, about 6 mm.

  A support shaft 7 is passed and fixed between the two plates 6 and 6. The material of the support shaft 7 is also the same as that of the plate 6, and in this embodiment, it is a pipe-like round bar made of acrylic resin. The outer diameter of the support shaft 7 is a size that can engage with the recess of the panel 3 to support the panel, and is, for example, 12 mm. The vertical position of the support shaft 7 in the plate 6 is a position slightly below the vertical intermediate portion of the plate 6, and the position in the width direction is a position close to one end of the plate 6. Specifically, the position of the support shaft 7 is, for example, a height h of 40 to 60 mm, and a distance d from the edge of the plate 6 is about 1/7 to 1/8 of the width of the plate 6. However, it is not limited to these dimensions.

  The base 5 is, for example, an acrylic resin plate colored in black, and the thickness is a thickness at which an appropriate strength is obtained, for example, about 5 mm. The base 5 is provided with a plurality of fixing bolt insertion holes 9 as fixing means. As the material for the plate 6 and the base 5, the synthetic resin is most preferable, but in some cases, metal, wood, or the like can be used.

  The panel 3 in the illustrated example has a shape such that the upper portion protrudes outside the holder, and the edge of the base portion 10 is formed into a substantially key-shaped bent shape, and a recess 11 is formed on the upper portion. Yes. The lower surface of the base 10 is a horizontal support surface 12. The width w of the recess 11 is such that the support shaft 7 is fitted and stably supported. In addition, rounding 13 having an appropriate size (a size that allows the panel to be smoothly rotated on the base 5) is applied to the lower corner portion of the base portion 10, that is, the support surface 12 and the outer edge portion. Yes.

  The decoration device 1 is used by installing the holder 2 on, for example, the upper surface of the machine frame of the pachinko machine 20 or the like (which may be a fixed surface of another structure). The holder 2 is fixed to a surface of a machine frame or the like on which it is placed with bolts or screws inserted into the bolt insertion holes 9. This fixing is relatively simple.

  When the holder 2 is fixed, the base of the panel 3 is attached thereto. This attachment is performed by inserting the plate 11 between the plates 6 and 6 toward the support shaft 7 with the opening 11a of the recess 11 of the panel 3 turned sideways. The free end of the panel 3 is rotated downward (90 degrees in the illustrated example) so that the recess 11 into which the support shaft 7 is fitted is directed upward. Since the edge portion of the support surface 12 is rounded 13, the corner portion at the lower end of the base portion is not caught on the upper surface of the base 5 even when the support shaft 7 is fitted in the recess portion 11. Can be rotated. By this rotation, the lower support surface 12 of the base portion is placed on the base, and the panel 3 is fixed by the base and the support shaft 7. Since the horizontal support surface 12 of the base portion is placed on the upper surface of the base 5 and the end portion is pressed by the support shaft 7 fitted in the recess 11, the panel 3 extends in a cantilever shape. Even when the clockwise force in FIG. 3 is applied, the panel does not rotate and is securely fixed.

  Further, when the panel 3 is replaced, the front end of the panel 3 is pushed upward (counterclockwise in FIG. 3) so that the opening of the recess 11 is turned sideways and pulled out rightward in FIG. . Then, since the support shaft 7 fitted into the recess 11 deviates from the opening, the panel 3 can be pulled out easily. For this reason, it is possible to easily replace panels with different designs so as not to get bored.

  In the illustrated example, the holder 2 is attached to the ceiling surface of the pachinko machine. However, the holder 2 may be attached to another game machine, or may be attached to a machine frame or table of a building or other large-sized device. Moreover, although the bolt is employ | adopted in the example of illustration as a fixing means of a base, you may fix by other fixing methods, such as a simple vise and a wire. Further, the panel 3 shown in FIG. 2 is a deformed plate-like panel whose top is widened, but as shown in FIG. 4, other appropriate shaped panels such as an arch-like panel extending obliquely upward from the base portion. Can also be used.

  The decoration device according to the present invention can be manufactured industrially using a synthetic resin or the like as a material, and can be effectively used for decoration at a game shop or the like.

It is a perspective view of the holder of a decoration device. It is a front view of a panel. It is a front view showing a panel attachment state. It is an external view showing the decoration state of an arched panel.
