Problems to be solved by the invention

However, as mentioned above, installing a lot of luggage storage sensors, seating sensors, alarm devices and controllers for operating alarm devices, including locking devices in the game room chairs, consumes a lot of power. It is necessary to perform electrical wiring to the chair for the chair. When electrical wiring is performed, wiring the wires to the floor to pass electricity from the island side to the chair side is an obstacle when the player moves, and the wires are also placed on the floor. Embedding has been avoided due to construction costs. Even if a gaming chair is equipped with a battery, it consumes a lot of power and is inconvenient because it needs to be replaced every relatively short period.
In view of the above facts, it has been a major challenge to develop a method that is easy to prevent forgetting baggage and that does not require equipment costs, and that is extremely low power consumption and easy to maintain.

Means to solve the problem

The present invention has been devised in view of such market demands. The seat portion of the gaming chair according to claim 1 is provided with a sensor in each of the storage portion serving as a lid and the seat portion of the chair, The game chair includes a warning unit for generating a warning and a control unit for operating the warning unit when a set predetermined condition is met.
Before sitting, open the lid that will be the seating section and store your baggage, then sit down. Thereafter, after sitting and playing, it is possible to prevent customers from forgetting their baggage by notifying customers that they have baggage each time they stand.

Further, claim 2 is a method for further reducing the number of parts and power consumption of the game room chair to prevent forgetting baggage and further ensuring the warning means.
That is, there is a warning means for generating a warning when a seating sensor that senses sitting on a chair of a gaming machine is provided on a gaming chair or on an island where the gaming machine is located and a predetermined condition is set in advance. A baggage forgetting prevention device provided with a baggage storage provided with a control means on a gaming machine or an island side in the vicinity of the gaming machine.
If a seating sensor is installed on the game chair side, the game chair will have a transmitter that transmits information on seating and leaving to the island side, and information can be received by the receiver on the island side. Including.
By doing so, it becomes easy to add a lock mechanism or the like of a baggage storage with relatively large power consumption.

The invention's effect

The invention of claim 1 is simple and has the function of preventing baggage forgetting, and the parts and electrical circuits attached to the gaming chair do not consume any electricity while a person is sitting on the chair. When power is turned on, the power is turned on for the first time, and an alarm is issued only for a preset time, so the power consumption is extremely low.Therefore, the frequency of battery replacement is much lower than the conventional method, and it is a simple and reasonable game chair. Become.
As for the invention of claim 2, since a normal power supply is provided on the island side, it is possible to easily attach a flashing illumination and a buzzer with high power consumption, and call lamps and curtains used during the game. It can be shared with various lamps displayed on the board.
Since the baggage storage setting device is located on the island side, not only flushing but also a buzzer, etc. can be used, and settings that also serve as lock and anti-theft can be set, and various functions can be expanded.

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the first and second aspects of the present invention will be sequentially described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention of claim 1 and is a side view showing a state in which a gaming machine chair 1 in a pachinko gaming machine and a gaming machine 10 installed on an island side 9 are arranged. The game room chair 1 of the present invention is attached so that it can be opened and closed when the seat 2 where the player sits is not seated, and serves as a lid of the baggage storage 3. A seating sensor 5 such as a micro switch for detecting the weight of the player's weight is incorporated in the seating portion 2, and a baggage detection sensor 6 for sensing that the baggage is stored is incorporated in the bottom of the storage portion.
