Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mahjong table, and particularly to a mahjong table equipped with a device that can confirm the presentation of point sticks for reach.

The purpose of this invention is that when a player makes a reach, it can be confirmed by raising a dot stick on the table, and it is also made clear to other players by blowing a warning sound. The aim is to provide a mahjong table that can be recognized by people.

Another purpose of this invention is to prevent the dot stick from being lost by accurately standing the dot stick on the table surface, and to prevent troubles caused by the dot stick falling into the stirring mechanism of the mahjong pie. This is an attempt to provide a mahjong table that allows users to play mahjong.

When playing mahjong, it is common for a player to place a dot stick on the table in front of him when he reaches, and this method has been used for a very long time. However, in recent years, when so-called "automatic mahjong tables" were developed that automatically stirred and arranged the mahjong pies, accidents occurred where the dot sticks placed on the table were dropped into the stirring device along with the mahjong pies after the game was over. This often occurs, causing problems such as the dropped point rod being broken by the stirring device, or the stirring device becoming inoperable due to the point rod getting caught.

The present invention attempts to address these problems, and has been able to completely achieve its objectives by completing the invention described below.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a known automatic mahjong table, and the table surface 2 is equipped with known configurations such as an operating device 3 for competition dice, a feed plate 4 for aligned mahjong pies, and a guide plate 5 for falling pies after the game is over. I have it too. Reference numerals 6...6 denote holes for inserting dot rods provided around the operating device of the dice, and a switch 7 which is operated by insertion of a dot rod (not shown) is provided inside the hole.

The insertion holes 6 for the point sticks are respectively provided in the front of the player, and each insertion hole 6 is provided with a switch 7, respectively. Reference numeral 8 denotes a sounding mechanism which is activated when the switch 7 is closed, and when the switch 7 is closed by inserting a dot, a suitable melody or warning sound is sounded for a short period of time. Note that the sound mechanism 8 can be used with any switch 7.
The circuit structure is such that the same operation is performed even when one switch 7 is closed and then another switch 7 is closed.
9 is a power source, and 10 is a main switch, which also serves as a volume adjustment mechanism.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when a player wants to reach, he/she inserts the dot stick into the dot stick insertion hole 7 in front of the player and stands it up, and the sounding mechanism 8 is activated accordingly. This action can be used to attract the attention of other players, and the same action can be taken if another player subsequently attempts a reach. In particular, according to the present invention, since the dot stick is maintained in an upright state, even if you forget to call by the sounding mechanism 8, you can reconfirm the upright dot stick visually, so you will not suffer any disadvantages due to forgetting to check. . In addition, with this invention, the dot sticks are always inserted into the insertion holes 7...7, so there is no risk of them falling off the table and being lost unless the player pulls them out after the game is over, unlike conventional automatic mahjong tables. It has an excellent feature of being able to completely eliminate the occurrence of accidents caused by the point rod falling into the stirring mechanism. In the embodiment, the insertion holes 7 for the dot rods are positioned around the dice actuating device 3, but the present invention is of course not limited to this.
