Can be made.
Further, in place of the known free ball bearing 11, a simple sphere having a certain strength may be provided. In other words, a plurality of spheres formed of metal, resin, or the like may be provided on a holding member that holds the sphere so that the sphere can be rotated to constitute the transport unit.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the backrest portion 3 rotates relative to the stool portion 2 is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the backrest portion is configured to be detachable from the stool portion. It doesn't matter. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the backrest portion 54 and the stool portion 55 are connected to each other by fixing means such as screws, bolts and nuts via the intermediate member 53. According to this configuration, the backrest portion 54 can be separated from the seat portion 55 by removing the fixing means of the backrest portion 54. Then, by placing the separated backrest portion 54 on the stool portion 55 so that the conveying portion 56 faces vertically upward, the same operational effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained. In this configuration, since the backrest portion 54 and the stool portion 55 are separated from each other, there may be a problem that the backrest portion 54 moves relative to the stool portion 55 when the gaming machine 30 is transported. By sandwiching a sheet-like friction sheet (not shown) having a high friction coefficient, such as rubber, between the stool portion 55 and the stool portion 55, the problem can be prevented.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the transportable state, the vertical height H from the vertical top of the free ball bearing 11 and the vertical height H from the floor, and the opening lower end side of the gaming machine mounting portion 50 and the vertical height L from the floor are as follows. Although the relationship is almost equal, the present invention is not limited to this, and the vertical height H and the vertical height L may be slightly shifted from each other.
