It is heavy and dangerous to stack ball boxes too high in the aisle. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange them side by side on the floor as much as possible. However, the game tables are arranged at regular intervals, and the player's chairs are also arranged in front of them. Therefore, if the ball boxes are arranged side by side, they may be indistinguishable from the adjacent player's ball boxes.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a ball box partition plate that can be clearly distinguished from the adjacent player's ball box and that can produce a play effect that can satisfy the player. The purpose is to do.

The following configurations are means for solving the above-described problems.
<Configuration 1>

<Configuration 3>
The ball box divider according to Configuration 1 or 2, wherein the ball box divider has a width that is the full width of the ball box.

  When the breadth is full, the box appears to be lined up not only on the top surface of the box, but also on the other side.

<Configuration 4>
4. The ball box partition plate according to any one of configurations 1 to 3, further comprising a fixing means for fixing a lower portion to a side wall of the ball box.

  It can be placed on the side of the ball box, but it cannot easily fall down if the lower part is fixed to the side wall of the ball box.

<Configuration 5>
5. A ball box partition plate according to any one of configurations 1 to 4, wherein a side wall of the ball box is formed of a magic mirror.

  Combined with the use of the ball box partition plate 22 having a mirror surface, the ball in the ball box can be effectively seen through the magic mirror depending on the state of the light beam in the amusement hall.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail for each example.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a use state of a ball box partition plate according to the first embodiment in a game hall. A large number of game tables 12 are arranged on the wall surface of the game hall. In front of the game table 12, the player 10 sits on a chair 14 and operates the game table 12. On the floor 16 behind the chair 14, a ball box 20 containing a large number of the balls 18 obtained by the player 10 is arranged.

  In this way, if many ball boxes 20 are arranged in parallel on the floor 16, the ball boxes 20 of adjacent players 10 may not be distinguished. Then, the wall for partitioning between the adjacent ball boxes is formed by arranging the ball box partition plate 22 along the side surface of the ball box 20 at the boundary. A mirror surface 26 that reflects the image of the ball box is formed on one surface or both surfaces of the upper portion of the ball box partition plate 22. The mirror surface 26 is made of, for example, glass or stainless steel plate.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the ball box 20 and the ball box partition plate 22.
As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the upper part of the ball box partition plate 22 provided with the mirror surface 26 is a portion that is higher than the height of one ball box 20, and is above the upper surface of the ball box 20. Protruding. On the mirror surface 26, an image 24 such as a ball box 20 and a ball 18 is reflected. As shown in FIG. 2B, the ball box partition plate 22 has the same mirror surface 26 formed on both sides thereof.

  A member forming the mirror surface 26 may be attached to the main body of the ball box partition plate 22. For example, the main body of the ball box partition plate 22 may be formed of a plastic molded product, and a member forming the mirror surface 26 may be attached thereto. Or you may comprise the whole ball-box partition plate 22 with the stainless steel board and tempered glass which one part mirror-finished.

  The height of the ball box partition plate 22 needs to have at least a portion protruding upward from the upper surface of the ball box, that is, a height equal to or higher than the height of one ball box. By providing the mirror surface 26 in a portion protruding upward from the upper surface of the ball box, the player's ball box 20 adjacent to the player can be more clearly distinguished. Further, as the lateral width of the ball box partition plate 22, the mirror surface 26 allows the ball box 20 and the balls in the ball box to be seen more when viewed from the side, and the lateral width is too large to walk out of the ball box 20. In consideration of two points that contradict each other, it is preferable that the ball box 20 has a full width. Moreover, the shape of the ball box partition plate 22 is arbitrary, and may be a plate-like member.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the main part of the ball box partition plate 22.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the ball box partition plate 22 may be a self-supporting type with a stand 28 fixed to the lower surface. The stand 28 may have an arbitrary structure as long as the stand box partition plate 22 can be stably and independently supported. For example, as shown in the figure, two plate bodies having a truncated triangle extending toward the floor surface are mounted on both sides of the ball box partition plate 22.

  The clerk can use the ball box partition plate 22 as appropriate by looking at the state where the ball box 20 is placed. However, it may be mounted on the ball box instead of the self-supporting type. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, it is assumed that L-shaped hooks 30 are attached to both lower side surfaces of the ball box partition plate 22. This hook 30 functions as a fixing means for fixing the lower part of the ball box partition plate 22 by fitting one of the hooks 30 into the upper edge of the side wall of the ball box 20. You ca n’t fall easily.

  The ball box partition plate 22 may have a self-standing structure as described above, or may be sandwiched between the side surfaces of two adjacent ball boxes 20. Moreover, you may provide the fixing means which affixes on either one of the ball boxes 20, or inserts and fixes to the hole formed in the side wall of the ball box 20. As shown in FIG. 4, the ball box partition plate 22 may be installed so as to be inserted between the inner side surface of the ball box 20 and the protruding ball 18 in contact with the side surface. In this case, the ball box partition plate 22 is pressed and held by the inner side surface of the ball box 20 and the protruding ball 18 in contact with the side surface. Accordingly, the stand 28, the hook 30 and the like as described above are not necessary, so that the shape of the ball box partition plate 22 is simple and installation is easy.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating a ball box partition plate and a ball box according to the second embodiment. Portions common to those shown in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
In this embodiment, assuming that the ball box 20 is a transparent box, the side wall of the ball box 20 is configured by a magic mirror 27.

  If the side wall of the ball box 20 is constituted by the magic mirror 27, the ball 18 in the ball box 20 can be effectively seen through the magic mirror 27 depending on the state of the light beam in the amusement hall, so the use of the ball box partition plate 22 having a mirror surface is used. Together with this, the effect of producing a ball appearance can be obtained.

It is a perspective view which shows the use condition of the ball box partition plate of Example 1. FIG. It is a figure which shows the same ball box partition plate and a ball box, (a) is an enlarged perspective view, (b) is the side view. It is a figure which shows the principal part of the same ball box partition plate, (a) is an enlarged perspective view of the principal part of the ball box partition plate shown in FIG. 2, (b) is an enlarged perspective view of the principal part of another ball box partition plate.
