Description

  The present invention relates to a game room chair, and more particularly to a game room chair having a function of preventing unauthorized opening of an inner frame of a game machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine in a game room.

  In game halls where game machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines are installed, after closing the store, outsiders illegally open the inner frame of the game machine, and the regular roms installed in the game machine are illegal roms (so-called back roms). ) Fraudulent acts due to the act of switching to) occur frequently.

Generally, when an illegal rom is attached to a gaming machine, problems such as paying out more than a predetermined amount of gaming media or being unable to control a fair lottery occur. In other words, because of this problem, game hall managers suffer a great deal of damage, and measures have been taken to prevent this fraud. As one of the countermeasures, it has been proposed to strengthen the restriction on opening the inner frame of the gaming machine. For example, in recent years, a lock mechanism that restricts the opening of the inner frame of the gaming machine from the inside of the gaming machine island (hereinafter also referred to as an internal locking mechanism) or the opening of the inner frame of the gaming machine from the outside of the gaming machine island is restricted. A locking mechanism (hereinafter also referred to as an external locking mechanism) is widely used.
For example, those techniques are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2.

Japanese Patent No. 3039772 JP 2011-072579 A

However, in the prior art, any locking mechanism can reliably limit the opening of the inner frame, but both the deterrence of illegal acts by visual recognition and the effective use of space on the gaming machine island are simultaneously performed. I was not satisfied. In other words, since the internal locking mechanism is provided in an empty space inside the gaming machine island, the installation of the locking mechanism can effectively utilize the space on the gaming machine island without pressing the gaming machine installation space. . However, since the locking mechanism itself cannot be visually recognized from the outside, there is almost no deterrence against illegal acts by visual recognition.
On the other hand, the external lock mechanism can be visually recognized from the outside, so that the deterrence of illegal acts by visual recognition works effectively. On the other hand, the external lock mechanism is installed as one device adjacent to each gaming machine. Space is required to install the mechanism. In other words, the lock mechanism itself presses down on the gaming machine island installation space, and the gaming machine island space cannot be used effectively.
In this way, in the prior art, any locking mechanism can reliably limit the opening of the inner frame, but it satisfies both the deterrence of fraud and the effective use of space on the gaming machine island at the same time. As a result, there was a request from the game hall manager to develop a locking mechanism that has both deterrence against fraud and effective use of space.

  Therefore, in the present invention, in view of the problems of the prior art, a game that can simultaneously restrict the opening of the inner frame and simultaneously satisfies both the deterrence of illegal acts by visual recognition and the effective use of space on the gaming machine island. The purpose is to provide a chair for the venue.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present inventor attempted to provide a lock mechanism on a member that is provided as a pair with a gaming machine and that is installed outside the gaming machine island.

  Generally, a chair in a game hall is provided with a seating portion on which a player is seated, a leg portion that supports the seating portion, and a backrest portion that is erected with respect to the seating portion. It is fixed on the floor of the playground.

  The present inventor considers that the back portion of the chair is tilted relatively to the floor of the game hall to contact or approach the game machine to prevent the opening of the inner frame of the game machine. It was.

  The invention according to claim 1, which is derived by repeating trial and error based on the above idea, is installed in front of a gaming machine so as to correspond to each gaming machine in a gaming hall where a large number of gaming machines are arranged. A chair for a game hall, comprising: a seating section on which a player sits down; a leg section that supports the seating section; and a backrest section that stands up against the seating section. The seating section can be tilted relatively to the floor surface, and the seating section has a fixed posture tilted in the proximity direction with respect to the gaming machine and a seating posture in which the player can sit, and at least sits down. This is a gaming chair characterized in that the posture of the club can be held in a fixed posture.

  According to such a configuration, the seating portion can be tilted relative to the floor of the game hall, and the seating portion can be seated by the player in a fixed posture tilted in the proximity direction with respect to the gaming machine. The sitting posture is taken, and at least the posture of the seating portion can be held in a fixed posture. That is, in the fixed posture, the seating portion takes a posture inclined relative to the floor of the game hall. In other words, the backrest portion erected on the seating portion approaches the gaming machine and takes a posture of approaching or abutting against the gaming machine. Then, it can be held in the fixed posture, and can be maintained in a state of being close to the glass frame of the gaming machine by opening a predetermined distance (including 0). Therefore, even if an unauthorized person opens the inner frame of the gaming machine and attempts to attach an unauthorized ROM to the gaming machine, the backrest is brought into contact with the glass frame and the opening degree is restricted. Therefore, an unauthorized person cannot open the inner frame of the gaming machine.

Further, in the fixed posture, the seating portion takes a posture tilted in the proximity direction with respect to the gaming machine, so the game hall manager can visually check whether the gaming hall chair is in a fixed posture, Never forget to lock.
Further, since no lock mechanism is provided on the gaming machine island, there is no need to provide a space on the gaming machine island. That is, the space on the gaming machine island can be used for production and the like, and can be used effectively.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the leg portion includes a game hall floor fixing portion, a seating fixing portion, and a posture maintaining portion, and the seating fixing portion is relative to the game hall floor fixing portion. The game room chair according to claim 1, wherein the chair is tiltable, and the posture maintaining unit holds at least the posture of the seating unit in a fixed posture.

  According to such a configuration, the leg portion includes the game hall floor fixing portion, the seat fixing portion, and the posture maintaining portion, and the seat fixing portion can be tilted relative to the game hall floor fixing portion. The posture maintaining unit holds at least the posture of the seating portion in a fixed posture. That is, it tilts from the leg. Since the leg is tilted, the backrest can be brought close to the gaming machine even when the backrest is short in the vertical direction in the sitting posture.

  The switching between the fixed posture and the sitting posture is preferably performed automatically (Claim 3).

  Opening the outer frame of the gaming machine is prevented by tilting the seating portion relative to the floor of the game hall. Therefore, the unauthorized person cannot open the outer frame of the gaming machine and cannot perform the fraud. Further, since it is not necessary to provide a lock mechanism on the gaming machine island, the space on the gaming machine island is not compressed.
