DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment in which a playground chair of the present invention is applied to a pachinko hall chair will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a playground chair 1 according to a first embodiment has a single support leg 3 erected on a substantially disk-shaped footrest 2, on which a box-shaped housing 3 is provided. It has a configuration in which a seat 5 having a portion 4 is provided.

Here, the leg base 2 may be provided with a known sliding mechanism which slides backward by a predetermined stroke and returns to the original position by the urging means. Next, the support leg 3 is formed in a columnar shape, and a storage portion 4 having a seat portion 5 is integrally fixed thereon. Reference numeral 8 denotes a backrest standing upright on the storage unit 4, and 8a denotes an arm.

The storage section 4 has an opening 4a formed in the front (front wall) of the peripheral wall of the storage section 4, and a door 7 that can be opened and closed is attached to the opening 4a. The upper end of the door 7 is folded back to form a grip 7a. And door part 7 is storage part 4
A closed position that is flush with the front wall of
It is adapted to be displaced to an open position in which it leans forward. Here, when the door portion 7 is tilted, a biasing means such as a spring is provided between the door 7 and the storage portion 4 so as to bias the door portion 7 toward the closed position or the open position. Good. In these cases (especially in the latter case), a locking means is provided to lock the door 7 to the front wall of the storage section 4 when the door 7 is returned to the closed position.

Therefore, when baggage or the like enters or leaves the storage section 4, the door 7 is tilted from the closed position to the open position. As a result, the opening of the storage section 4 is fully opened, so that articles can be easily put in and out. After storage, the door 7 may be retracted and returned to the closed position in the opposite manner.

As the locking means for locking the door 7 to the storage section 4, for example, a pin is provided on one side of the door 7 and the storage section 4 and a hook is provided on the other side so as to be detachable from the pin. When the part 7 is in the closed position, the two can come close to each other, hook the hook to the pin, and restrain the door part 7 to the front wall.

In this case, for example, the latch may be automatically performed when the door 7 comes to the closed position. In the above example, the hook is urged in the latching direction to be pivotable. Alternatively, a guide portion may be provided on the hook, and a pair of components may be engaged. For example, when the door 7 is tilted to the closed position, the hook abuts against the pin, and the hook moves over the pin while retreating against the biasing force. Is also good. Also,
In this case, it is preferable to provide a release operation unit for releasing the hook (moving the hook in the release direction).

Next, a window or hole 6 through which the stored articles can be visually recognized is formed in the side wall 41 of the storage section 4. Here, in the window, at least a part of the side wall 41 is made of transparent or translucent, and the material of the side wall is made transparent or translucent, or the hole is made of a transparent or translucent glass or plastic plate. It may be a configuration such as a cover, or a display such as a liquid crystal display or other external display unit. In the case of the window portion, there is no opening, so that there is no danger that the stored articles will fall out, and the size and shape can be arbitrarily determined.

In the illustrated example, a large number of holes 6 formed in the side wall 41 of the storage section 4 are used. The shape, arrangement, and size of the hole 6 are not particularly limited, and may be any as long as it is possible to determine that an article is contained in the storage unit 4 as a whole. In this case, since it is possible to recognize from the outside that an article is contained in the storage section 4, it is difficult to leave the article.

In the above embodiment, it is determined that an article is contained in the storage section 4 by looking at the article directly from the hole 6, but it is determined that the article is contained in the window or the hole 6. An identification element to be notified may be displayed. For example, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, a side plate 10 is provided integrally with the door portion 7, and the side plate 10 is arranged so as to overlap inside the side wall 41 of the storage portion 4, and the door portion 7 is in the closed position on the side plate 10. A predetermined identification element (for example, red) R may be displayed on the hole 6 and may not be displayed when it is in the open position. The display panel may be displaced so as to be linked to the door unit 7 via the link mechanism.

Alternatively, the display panel 10 is slidably mounted along the side wall 41 by providing a guide rail inside the side wall 41 of the storage section 4, and the display panel 10 is operated to be reciprocally movable. An operation unit is provided. When the display panel 10 is moved by the operation unit, a predetermined identification element (for example, red) is displayed in the hole 6, and when the display panel 10 is returned, a ground color (for example, white) is displayed.

In the illustrated example shown in FIG. 4, when the switch SW is turned on, the screw rod B is rotated by the motor M, and the display plate 10 is fixed to the nut N screwed to the screw rod B.
You may make it go up and down by rotation of. As a result, when the user manually operates the operation unit or the switch, the display plate 10 is operated, and one of the identification elements is displayed in the hole 6 of the storage unit 4 arranged outside the display unit 10 and the article is stored. Can be displayed to the outside.

The displacement of the display panel 10 may be automatically determined by judging the insertion of a stored article. That is, instead of manual operation, for example, a contact-type sensor such as a limit switch or a non-contact sensor such as a photoelectric tube is provided near the opening of the storage unit 4 or at the bottom thereof.
To determine whether or not an article has entered. When it is detected that an article has entered the storage section 4, the display plate 10 is displaced through a well-known actuator such as a screw advancing / retracting structure in which a screw is rotated as described above or an elevating structure using an electromagnetic solenoid. , One of the identification elements displayed on the display board can be displayed to notify that the article is stored (see FIG. 5).

When the external display unit 12 such as a liquid crystal display is used as the window, manual (switch on) or automatic (detection of article storage by a sensor) is used instead of the mechanical structure in the above embodiment. The detection means 11 may detect that the article is stored, and may use a controller that displays predetermined characters and graphics on the display 12 (see FIG. 6).

FIG. 7 shows an embodiment in which the display plate 10 is used as a side plate of the inner box 9 provided in the storage portion 4. In this case, the storage portion 4 is hollowly supported by a spring 9S or the like. In the meantime, the inner box 9 into which the articles are put into the inner box 9 is lowered by the weight of the articles, the bottom surface is in contact with the bottom of the storage section 4, and the identification element formed on the side plate (display panel) 9a of the inner box 9 Exemplifies a case in which the lower part can be aligned with the hole 6 to display one of the identification elements R to notify that the article is stored. In this manner, the fact that an article is contained in the storage section 4 can be displayed outside, so that even if the user forgets to store the article in the storage section, the identification element can be externally displayed. Looking at them can prevent them from being left behind.

In addition, the fact that an article is contained in the storage section 4 can inform other players that the chair or the corresponding game apparatus is still in use. Further, it is possible to warn the facility provider that the user will not forget and leave.

In the above embodiment, the color is exemplified as the identification element, but any other identification element can be used. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the seat is tilted is shown, but it may be configured to slide back and forth to open the opening of the storage unit. The display window or hole may be any one of the side walls on the outer periphery of the storage unit, and may be one or more of a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, and a right wall. In addition, the configuration in which the identification element is displayed on the window or the hole is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various designs can be changed without changing the gist of the present invention.

[0021]

According to the present invention, not only can the article such as baggage be stored in the storage section, but it can be displayed outside that the article is in the storage section. Can prevent the article from being left in the storage section. In addition, other players can know that the player is in use even when no one is sitting on the chair.
