Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a dice accommodating portion of an automatic mahjong table that makes it easy to check the number of dice rolled out.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The dice accommodating part of the known automatic mahjong table has a dice box constructed at the center of the table, and the center part of the dice box is formed as the rolling part of the dice. The dice are rotatably placed on a rotating plate forming the bottom of the rolling part, and the upper surface of the rolling part is closed by a flat transparent plate in a state of being substantially flush with the upper surface. (See, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-38871).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The known dice accommodating part of the automatic mahjong table is provided with the rotating plate lowered considerably in order to avoid the problem that the dice placed on the rotating plate comes into contact with the flat transparent plate. Therefore, the height at which the dice are placed at the rolling part is inevitably low, and it is inconvenient that the dice that have stopped rolling are hard to see. In particular, when the dice stopped near the periphery of the rolling part, they suddenly leaned forward to check the number of dice, which was troublesome and desired to be improved.

The present invention solves such a problem, and its purpose is to make it easy to see the dice from any seat in the northeast, southwest, and north of the table so that the number of the dice can be correctly and easily confirmed to advance the game. It is to provide the dice accommodating part of the automatic mahjong table that is effective.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the dice accommodating portion of the automatic mahjong table, which is a feature of the present invention, is located in the center of the table of the automatic mahjong table, and the dice box is constructed. The rotation is formed on the rolling part of the dice, and the bottom of this rolling part is driven by the ON operation of the parent display switch installed on the dice box corresponding to each position of north, south, east, and west. It is formed by a plate, and the upper surface of the rolling portion is closed by a dome-shaped lid such as a transparent spherical surface.

In the dice accommodating portion of this automatic mahjong table, the dome-shaped lid is detachably attached to the upper edge of the rolling portion, and the dome-shaped lid is colored in light blue or yellow. It is preferable that it is made of a transparent material in order to enhance the aesthetic appearance, and by attaching a lid of a desired color, it is possible to give a taste to the person who plays the game.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The table of the automatic mahjong table is generally indicated by reference numeral 1, and a dice box 2 is installed in the central part of the table. The four sides of the dice box 2 are surrounded by four opening / closing plates 1a, and a table plate 1b is provided around them. Each of the opening and closing plates 2a is structured so that it can be opened and closed at the same time as usual.

The central part of the dice box 2 is formed on the rolling part 3 of the dice d, and the rotating plate 4 forming the bottom part of the rolling part 3 is driven by a motor m via a drive shaft 5. 6 is a connecting portion between the rotary plate 4 and the drive shaft 5. The rotary plate 4 is formed in a saucer shape, a rising edge 4a is provided on the peripheral edge thereof, and a mat 7 is laid on the upper surface thereof.

Further, the dice box 2 is supported by a support frame 8, and a motor m is fixed to a substrate 9 which is horizontally installed inside the support frame 8. The motor m is driven by turning on the parent display switch 10 installed on the dice box 2 corresponding to each position in the northeast, southwest, and east. The support frame 8 is fixed to the center of the table 1.

On the other hand, the upper surface of the rolling portion 3 is closed by a dome-shaped lid 11 such as a transparent spherical surface, whereby the space between the upper surface of the rolling portion 3 and the rotary plate 4 can be narrowed, It is possible to make the dice d placed on the rotary plate 4 project considerably from the upper surface of the rolling part 3. In the structure shown in FIG. 1, approximately 1/3 of the dice d are rolling parts. The number of dice protruding from the upper surface of the die 3 on the upper surface side of the dice d can be easily confirmed from any direction.

The dome-shaped lid 11 is preferably formed of a colored transparent body such as light blue or yellow, and the material thereof is synthetic resin such as acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS resin or glass. Then, the dome-shaped lid 11 is rolled by engaging the notch portions 11a provided at four positions on the periphery of the lid 11 with the engaging portions such as the claw pieces provided on the upper edge 3a of the rolling portion 3. The lid 11 is detachably attached to the upper edge 3a of the moving part 3, and when the inner surface of the lid 11 is dirty, the lid 11 can be removed from the rolling part 3 for cleaning.

[Effect of device]

 The present invention is as described above, and since the upper surface of the rolling part in which the dice are accommodated is closed by a dome-shaped lid such as a transparent spherical surface, the position of the dice in the rolling part is set high. The dice thrown out by rolling can be seen easily from any direction. In addition, the dome-shaped lid gives a three-dimensional effect, and the appearance is further improved, and the use of a colored transparent body for the lid gives a color impression and enhances the taste.
