Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a table device with a television that allows the screen of the television to be seen through the bottom of a cup, glass, etc. placed on the table.

Many restaurants have TV screens installed in the store for service purposes, but many customers do not want to watch TV screens.
On the contrary, it may end up being an excessive service.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a table device with a television set that is devised so that the taste can be changed and made interesting only for those who want to watch television. When a customer orders a drink and places the container (glass, etc.) of the ordered drink at a predetermined position on the table, the television screen can be seen through the bottom of the container.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned table device with television according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the entirety of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the main part. What is shown is an example of a guest table, and 11 indicates a table board. The table 10 shown in the drawing is a normal table having four legs 10a, but it may of course be a counter or a table with a single leg structure. Reference numeral 12 denotes a circular see-through hole drilled at an appropriate position in the table plate 11, and 13 indicates a transparent glass plate fitted into the upper opening of the see-through hole 12 so as to be flush with the table plate 11.

Next, 14 is a TV box attached to the bottom of the table board 11, and 20 is a TV box attached to the bottom of the table board 11.
It shows a small television receiver housed horizontally inside the box. Reference numeral 15 denotes a closed-structure cylindrical body formed in a substantially L-shape within the box 14. The television receiver 20 is housed in the distal end 15a of the cylindrical body 15. As shown in the figure, the tip opening 15b of the cylindrical body 15 raised upward is connected to the bottom opening of the see-through hole 12. Reference numeral 21 denotes a convex lens for image formation installed midway inside the cylindrical body 15 so as to face the cathode ray tube 20a of the television 20, and 22 denotes a refractive portion 15c of the cylindrical body 15.
Shows the reflector attached to.

It should be noted that a commercially available one is used as the above-mentioned small television receiver 20, and channel switching, power switch on/off operations, etc. are controlled by a control box (not shown) provided on the table 10 side. It is designed to be remotely controlled.

Further, in the figure, 30 is a drink container body (for example, a cup or a glass), and the diameter of this container body 30 is formed to be approximately the same size as the glass plate 13, and the container body 30 is made of two transparent glasses. A convex lens 31 for eyepiece is fitted into the bottom of this container body 30 composed of 30a and 30b. The two glasses 30a and 30b protect the convex lens 31 and prevent the contained drink from leaking. However, the convex lens 31 is integrally formed on the bottom of the container body 30, and the convex lens 31 itself is attached to the container body. In some cases, the bottom surface is 30. Furthermore, the main body portion of the container body 30 is
It is made of glass or plastic that is colored in a dark color such as black to make the image clearer.

In FIG. 2, numeral 40 is a video camera connected to the above-mentioned small television receiver 20, and the small television receiver 20 switches between the general broadcast and the screen shot by this video camera 40 as appropriate. It is structured so that it can be done.

Since the television table device according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, the glass plate 1 is normally passed through the convex objective lens 21 and the reflecting mirror 22.
The image of the small television receiver 20 projected on the third side is narrowed down to a small size by the convex lens 21, so that it is difficult to see clearly what is being reflected. container body 30
When placed, the convex eyepiece lens 31 attached to the bottom of the container body 30 magnifies this image.
The TV screen can be viewed by looking into the inside of the container body 30, and even if a drink such as alcohol is placed inside the container body 30, the TV screen can be viewed using the color of the drink as a filter. can.

In addition, in this invention, a small television receiver 2
0 within the distal end 15a of the cylindrical body 15, and
The point where the tip opening 15b of the cylindrical body 15 is connected to the inside of the see-through hole 12, and the fact that the entire drink container body 30 is colored in a dark color such as black prevent light from entering from the outside. This makes it possible to display images more clearly.

Therefore, according to the table device with a television according to the present invention, by placing a drink container such as a cup or a glass on the glass plate on the table surface, only those who wish to watch the television can watch the television. It is different from watching a normal TV screen, as it allows you to entertain by showing a selection of TV monsters, and it also allows you to project the TV image onto the bottom of a glass or cup filled with drinks such as alcohol. It is suitable for service use because it can exhibit a unique taste.Furthermore, if the drink is served in the above-mentioned container only to customers who have ordered a drink, the store will be able to increase sales. It is effective and commercially viable, and combined with the fact that it is simple in structure and easy to implement, it is especially suitable for use in coffee shops, bars, clubs, etc.
