Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION << Industrial application field >> The present invention relates to a game machine installation island in which a number of game machines such as a pachinko machine and a coin game machine are juxtaposed.

<< Conventional Technology >> In a conventional method of ventilating a game arcade, a suction port of a ventilator is provided on a wall of the game arcade, and tobacco smoke and the like are sucked from the suction port and discharged to the outside.

<< Problems to be Solved by the Invention >> According to the above-mentioned conventional ventilation method, the smoke of the tobacco is mixed with the indoor air and diluted because the ventilation opening of the ventilation device is located far away from the smoker. You will suck out things. Therefore, air purification cannot be achieved unless a large amount of air is discharged, which is extremely inefficient.

<< Means for Solving the Problems >> In order to solve such a problem, the present invention relates to a gaming machine installation island 1 in which a number of gaming machines 2, 2... Such as pachinko machines and coin game machines are arranged side by side. Provided is a structure in which a suction port 5 of a ventilation device is provided in a portion of a curtain plate 3 located above 2, 2,..., And a projection of a display lamp 4 faces an eave just above the suction port 5. .

《Action》 If you smoke while playing a game, the smoke from the tobacco will cause the game machine 2,2…
Rise along the road. When the smoke reaches the curtain plate 3 and hits the display lamp 4, the upward momentum is lost, and the smoke is efficiently sucked through the suction port 5.

<< Example >> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

 1 to 3 show a first embodiment.

The gaming machine installation island 1 is a frame formed by combining vertical and horizontal rails, in which a number of gaming machines (in this embodiment, pachinko machines are shown) 2, 2... Are arranged side by side. The curtain plate 3 is stretched. On this curtain plate 3, a display lamp 4 for displaying the occurrence of a trouble or a special prize gaming state is provided for each gaming machine 2.
It is provided corresponding to each.

Note that the curtain plate 3 in the present embodiment is not to be understood in a narrow sense as a portion provided with the display lamp 4, and
The portions of the plates stretched above 2, 2,... Are used as a general concept in a broad sense.

The curtain plate 3 is provided with a suction port 5 for a ventilation device (not shown). As the ventilation device, a known device including an electric motor and a fan is used. The suction port 5 is connected to a ventilator by a flexible hose 6, and operates the ventilator to suck air in the game hall. The display lamp 4 protrudes like an eave just above the suction port 5. By making the protrusion of the display lamp 4 face the eaves with respect to the suction port 5 as described above, the following advantages are exhibited.

That is, the smoke of cigarettes rises along the front of the gaming machine 2, 2,..., But in the configuration in which the inlet 5 is simply opened on the curtain plate 3,
Because the smoke flow direction and the suction direction are orthogonal,
A strong suction force is required to change the direction of salt flow.

However, if the display lamp 4 is provided in the form of an eave just above the suction port 5, the rising smoke is impinged on the lower surface of the display lamp 4 as shown by the arrow in FIG. In this state, if suction is performed through the suction port 5, smoke can be efficiently sucked with a small suction force.

When the suction port 5 is provided for each of the gaming machines 2, 2,... As in the first embodiment, the operation can be performed by sucking smoke only from the suction port 5 corresponding to the operating gaming machine 2. Cost can be reduced. As a specific means for this, for example, if a pachinko machine is used as the gaming machine 2, for example, a fan of a ventilator may be individually provided for each suction port 5,
Alternatively, an electrically openable and closable valve is provided in the middle of the hose 6, and the fan or the on-off valve is connected to a driving circuit of a ball-pitching motor of a pachinko machine, and the pachinko machine performs a ball-launching operation. Then, suction may be performed through the suction port 5. In this case, since the ventilation capacity is automatically adjusted according to the increase or decrease of the number of players, the operation cost can be reduced, which is very useful.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment, in which a suction port 5 is integrally formed with the display lamp 4 itself. The suction port 5 is opened in a base 4a of the display lamp 4, and a lamp 4b is formed. The lower surface has the function of an eave. By integrally forming the suction port 5 with the display lamp 4 in this way, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost at the production stage and to simplify the assembling work of the gaming machine installation island 1. Has the effect.

FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment, in which a suction port 5 is opened downward on the lower surface of the base 4a of the display lamp 4. As shown in FIG. In this case, since the flow direction in which the smoke rises and the suction direction coincide, the suction efficiency is further increased in addition to the eaves function of the display lamp 4.

<< Effects of the Invention >> The gaming machine installation island of the present invention is provided with a ventilating device suction port on the curtain plate, and a display lamp protruding just above the suction port in an eaves-like manner. In the nearest place, and with the display lamp, the rising force can be killed and smoke can be efficiently absorbed. In addition, since the display lamp is attached to most of the gaming machine installation islands to display the state of the gaming machine, if the projection of such a display lamp is used as an eave, a separate eave is provided. There is no discomfort in appearance and the cost is lower than in the case of installation.
