Therefore, the ceiling plate can be easily opened and closed.

Further, in the present invention, since the ceiling plate has a dome shape, the appearance of the gaming island is beautiful. Here, the restricting wall in the invention of claim 1 may be any wall that restricts the lower end of the ceiling plate from at least both insides or both outsides. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 11A, a substantially vertical regulating wall W is provided only on both outer sides of the lower end of the dome-shaped ceiling plate T, and the lower end of the ceiling plate T is regulated from both outer sides. It may be. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11B, a regulating wall W may be provided only inside the ceiling plate T, and the lower end of the ceiling plate T may be regulated from both insides. In any case, even if the ceiling plate T is pushed from the side, the ceiling plate T does not move in the horizontal direction in the drawing and fall off from the horizontal rail S.

However, for example, in the case of FIG. 11 (A), if the ceiling plate T is pressed by a strong force from the side and bends, the lower end of the ceiling plate T moves inside the horizontal beam S, and There is a possibility that it will fall off S. FIG.
Also in the case of (B), similarly, when the ceiling plate T is pressed and bent from above by a strong force, the lower end of the ceiling plate T moves to the outside of the horizontal rail S and falls off from the horizontal rail S. Could be

In view of the above, in order to make it more difficult for the ceiling panel to come off from the top of the horizontal rail, there is provided the following.
In the ceiling plate mounting structure described in (1), it is preferable that a plurality of the regulating walls are provided on each of the horizontal rails so as to regulate the lower end portion of the ceiling plate by sandwiching the lower end portion from inside and outside.

According to such a configuration, even if the ceiling plate is pushed by the lateral or upper side with a strong force as described above,
Since the lower end of the ceiling plate is regulated so as to be sandwiched from inside and outside by the regulation wall, the lower end of the ceiling plate does not move significantly inside or outside the horizontal rail, and the ceiling plate is Never fall off.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when two types of ceiling plates having different sizes are mounted on the upper surface of the horizontal rail, as shown in FIG. Two grooves can be provided, and two ceiling plates T1 and T2 can be fitted into the grooves. However, in order to attach two ceiling plates T1 and T2 of different sizes with a simpler configuration, it is desirable to adopt a configuration as in claim 3. That is, a third aspect of the present invention is the ceiling plate mounting structure according to the first or second aspect, wherein the regulating wall is formed by projecting a regulating plate on an upper surface of the horizontal rail.

According to such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 12B, the inside of the large ceiling plate T1 can be regulated by the outer surface F1 of the regulation plate P. The outside of the small-sized ceiling plate T2 can be regulated by the inner surface F2.
Therefore, there is an advantage that two types of large and small dome-shaped ceiling plates can be attached while having a simple configuration in which only one regulation plate protrudes from the upper surface of the horizontal rail.
