Description

  The present invention is installed on a game machine such as a pachinko machine or a pachislot machine, and a game machine that can be used for partitioning between adjacent game machines to reduce the damage caused by cigarette smoke, etc. The present invention relates to a simple inter-bed air curtain forming apparatus.

  In pachinko parlors and the like, a large number of game machines are arranged adjacent to each other, and a player generally enjoys a game for a long time. Pachinko parlors and the like have a fairly large space, but because a large number of players play, indoor air is inevitably dirty. For this reason, a pachinko parlor or the like is always provided with a purifier so as to clean the store.

As mentioned above, pachinko parlors and the like have conventionally taken various measures to maintain the purification space, but there are always smokers among the players, and this smoke has an adverse effect on adjacent players. . Cigarette smoke is not so much a concern for smokers, but it is extremely uncomfortable for those who do not smoke. Cigarette smoke itself is also harmful to the human body. Therefore, a means for reducing damage caused by cigarette smoke at least between adjacent players is required. For this reason, there are conventionally various cigarette smoke blocking means (devices) such as “Patent Document 1,” “Patent Document 2,” “Patent Document 3,” and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (a), a simple inter-table air curtain forming apparatus 100 in a game machine of the present invention is housed in, for example, a case 1 of an elongated hollow cylinder having a rectangular cross section, and a lower part of the case 1 in the figure. A single centrifugal blower 2. Unlike the cross flow fan, the centrifugal blower 2 has a simple structure, can be stored in a narrow housing, and can be easily connected to the outside only by a cord. The centrifugal blower 2 is provided with an intake port 2a and an exhaust port 2b.

  The casing 1 is formed of a hollow cylindrical body having a rectangular cross section as described above. Of course, the casing 1 is not limited to this shape. Any hollow cylinder may be used. As shown in FIG. 1A, the housing 1 is formed with an intake hole 4 communicating with the intake port 2a of the centrifugal blower 2, and a plurality of slit-like openings 3 are formed through the front plate 1a. It consists of things. In this embodiment, the slit-shaped opening 3 is composed of an elongated ground-shaped slit. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The slit-shaped opening 3 has a shape and a size that do not allow insertion of coins that are used when the game table is used, so that coins cannot be inserted into the housing 1 by mistake. ing. Moreover, although the slit-shaped opening part 3 of Fig.1 (a) consists of the thing of the same shape, of course, the thing from which each differs, and a thing from which a shape differs partially may be sufficient. Moreover, as shown by the ground-shaped circles 12 in FIG. 3 is a slit-like opening 3 located at a position corresponding to the player's elbow, and is devised to prevent the elbow from being cooled without excessive ventilation. It is. Of course, it is not limited to the form of FIG. In addition, the front plate 1a of the housing 1 may be painted or decorated, thereby improving the balance with the game table 10 and the overall aesthetics.

As described above, the slit-shaped opening 3 is variously devised in terms of shape, size, and interval. However, an opening area adjusting mechanism 5 that adjusts the opening area may be provided.
4 to 8 show the embodiment, but of course, the present invention is not limited to these.
FIG. 4 shows an example of the ground circle 13 and FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of that portion. FIG. 6 shows another type. 7 and 8 show still another type.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the slit-shaped opening 3 is provided with a plate 14 having a size capable of closing the entire opening area and a knob 15 for manually moving the plate. In the drawing, the closed state and the open state are shown. As shown in the figure, the plate body 14 may be disposed on either the front side or the back side of the slit-shaped opening 3.

  FIG. 6 is provided with a non-slip projection 16 in place of the knob 15 of FIG. 5, and is intended to stabilize and ensure the plate 14 when moving.

  7 and 8, a semicircular hole 17 is formed in the vicinity of the sparse slit-shaped opening 3, and an open / close plate 19 rotated by a knob 18 is brought into contact with and engaged with the semicircular hole 17 to open / close the semicircular hole 17. Thus, the opening area is adjusted. FIG. 7 shows the housing 1 provided with this, and FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the portion of the ground circle 20 in FIG.

  The opening area adjusting mechanism 5 is exemplified as described above, but of course, the opening area adjusting mechanism 5 is not limited to this, and other structures that can be easily operated are used.

  FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the simplified inter-table air curtain forming apparatus 100 in the gaming machine of the present invention. This is one in which an extension plate 21 is formed on a front plate 1 a, and the housing 1 is formed to protrude laterally by the extension plate 21. The extension plate 21 includes a flat portion 21a that is flush with the front plate 1a and a contact portion 21b that is bent rearward in a direction perpendicular thereto. As described above, the simple inter-table air curtain forming apparatus 100 in the gaming table is accommodated in the gap 11 of the gaming table 10, but the one shown in FIG. 1A is completely accommodated in the clearance 11. When stored, there is almost no gap between the gaming table 10 and the simple inter-table air curtain forming apparatus 100 in the gaming table. However, in the case of the present embodiment, due to the presence of the extension plate 21, the abutment portion 21b as the side plate of the extension plate 21 hits the side surface of the game table 10, and the simple inter-table air between the game table 10 and the game table is corresponding to this amount. A minute gap is formed with the curtain forming apparatus 100. Therefore, intake of the centrifugal blower 2 is facilitated by the amount of the gap, the intake amount can be secured, intake resistance during intake is reduced, and intake efficiency can be improved.

  FIG. 1 (b) shows a simple inter-table air curtain forming apparatus 100 in a game machine of the present invention that houses an accessory device. As shown in the figure, a filter 7 for purifying the intake air is provided at the portion of the intake port 2 a of the centrifugal blower 2. Thereby, the air sucked into the housing 1 is purified, and as a result, the purified air is blown from the slit-shaped opening 3. As a result, purified air is sent to the player and the store, which can contribute to indoor purification.
