The air in the vicinity of the player is cleaned or humidified, so that a comfortable game space can be obtained.

  The fan member 3 and the motor 4 constitute a blowing unit according to the present embodiment, and are configured to be able to blow air toward the discharge port 6 while sucking air from the suction ports 5a and 5b. Among these members, the fan member 3 is a fan called a so-called cross flow fan, and is disposed so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis L extending in the vertical direction in the apparatus body 2 as shown in FIG. At the same time, it has a substantially cylindrical shape with blades 3a for blowing air on the side. The fan member 3 is rotatably attached to the frame F, and a motor 4 is formed on the frame F.

  The motor 4 is a drive source for rotating the fan member 3 around the rotation axis L. Thus, in this embodiment, the fan member 3 and the motor 4 are assembled and integrated into the same frame F to constitute the blower unit Y, and the blower unit Y is vertically moved in the apparatus main body 2. Are arranged in parallel (three in this embodiment). In the present embodiment, two short vertical air blowing units Y and one long vertical air blowing unit Y are arranged one above the other. A plurality of them may be arranged. That is, the blower unit Y can be arranged at an arbitrary position according to the positions where the suction ports 5a and 5b and the discharge port 6 formed in the apparatus main body 2 are formed and the arrangement relationship of other components.

  The suction port 5a is opened at the back surface 2b of the device main body 2 and can suck air into the device main body 2 by rotational driving of the fan member 3. Similarly, the suction port 5b is a side surface of the device main body 2. It opens at 2c, and air can be sucked into the apparatus main body 2 by rotational driving of the fan member 3. However, in this embodiment, the suction port 5a is formed on the back surface 2b and the side surface 2c of the apparatus main body 2, but is formed on the other surface (the upper surface or the lower surface of the device main body 2) other than the front surface 2a. May be. Note that reference numeral 16 in FIG. 2 denotes an activated carbon filter covering the suction port 5a, and the air sucked from the suction port 5a can be filtered and purified.

Therefore, a so-called air curtain can be formed between the adjacent pachinko gaming machines P by such blowing. That is, in the present embodiment, since the suction ports 5a and 5b are formed on the back surface 2b or the side surface 2c of the apparatus main body 2, the discharge ports 6 can be formed over a wide range on the front surface 2a of the apparatus main body 2. The width of the air curtain in the height direction (vertical direction) (the height of the wall formed by the air flow) can be set large.

  Further, on the front surface 2a of the apparatus main body 2, the fan member 3 is turned on / off (ie, the motor 4 is turned on / off) or the rotational speed of the fan member 3 is arbitrarily adjusted. The operating means 7 is provided. Specifically, the operating means 7 includes an operation knob that can be pressed and rotated. The fan member 3 is started or stopped by the pressing operation, and the variable resistor 8 (FIG. 2) is rotated by the rotating operation.

Further, the guide member 12 may be plate-shaped or box-shaped as long as it guides the air blown from the blowing means (fan member 3) to the discharge port 6 on the surface thereof. .

  Furthermore, it has a substantially cylindrical fan member 3 that is rotatably arranged around a rotation axis L extending in the vertical direction in the apparatus main body 2 and in which a blade 3a for blowing air is formed on a side surface, and Since the suction ports 5a and 5b are opened at the back surface 2b and the side surface 2c of the apparatus main body 2, and the discharge port 6 is extended and opened at the front surface 2a side of the apparatus main body 2, the air curtain is sufficiently wide in the height direction. And can sufficiently exhibit the shielding effect of cigarette smoke and the like.

  In addition, since the air blowing unit Y in which the fan member 3 and the motor 4 are assembled is provided and a plurality of the air blowing units Y are arranged in the vertical direction in the apparatus main body 2, a sufficiently wide air curtain is formed in the height direction. In addition, the degree of freedom of layout in the apparatus main body 2 can be improved. That is, by arranging a plurality of blower units Y side by side in the vertical direction, the blower unit Y can be placed at an arbitrary position according to the formation positions of the suction ports 5a and 5b and the discharge ports 6 and the arrangement relationship of other components. The degree of freedom in layout can be improved.

  Furthermore, since the device body 2 is provided with operation means 7 for turning on / off the drive of the fan member 3 or for arbitrarily adjusting the rotational speed of the fan member 3, a player or a game store The employee or the like can drive the fan member 3 or adjust the rotational speed of the fan member 3 according to the usage situation. The operation means 7 according to the present embodiment is configured by an operation knob that can perform a pressing operation and a rotation operation, but other forms of operation means (for example, for turning on / off the drive of the fan member 3). And the operation means for arbitrarily adjusting the rotational speed of the fan member 3 may be provided separately).
