Further, the duct 14 is connected to a smoke exhaust fan (not shown), and discharges the air sucked from the suction duct 4 to the outside through the bellows hose 5 through the duct 14. Since the suction amount of the suction duct 4 connected to the upstream side and the downstream side of the duct 14 varies, the opening degree of the mesh or punching metal serving as the suction amount adjusting plate 7 attached to the suction port 6 is different. The suction amount is adjusted by attaching an object, and adjustment is made on site so that each suction duct 4 sucks uniformly. In the drawing, reference numeral 16 denotes a calling lamp mounted between the pachinko machine 2 and the suction duct 4, and 17 denotes a mounting base 1.
It is a blind plate provided on the upper part of.

[0012] The smoke exhaust device having the above configuration is operated separately from the air conditioning equipment in the store. When a smoke exhaust fan (not shown) is operated, ambient air is sucked from the suction port 6 of the suction duct 4 projecting from the front and mounted above the pachinko machine 2, and is discharged to the outside from the upper bellows hose 5 through the duct 14. You. When a customer sitting in front of the pachinko machine 2 and playing a game smokes, the smoke spreads upward and left and right. Smoke that has spread to the left and right of the pachinko machine 2 has suction ports 6, 6 opened downward at the bottom of the suction duct 4, and the pachinko machine 2.
Is formed between the adjacent pachinko machines 2, 2 so that the smoke is efficiently sucked from the suction port 6 and discharged to the outside.

For this reason, the smoke does not spread to the adjacent pachinko machines 2 and 2, so that there is no annoyance even if there is a customer who does not smoke. Part of the smoke rising to the side of the call lamp 16 is
However, most of them are lifted to the ceiling side as they are, so that it is not annoying to customers who are playing games on the adjacent pachinko machine 2. The smoke that has risen to the ceiling side is discharged to the outside by a normal air conditioner.

In order to confirm the effect of the present invention, an experiment was carried out in which the smoke exhaust device of the present invention was attached to a strip 3 to which six pachinko tables 2 were attached, and the size of the suction port 6 was 40 mm × 50 mm. Even if he smoked while sitting in front of the pachinko machine 2, the smoke was directly sucked from the suction port 6 and did not spread to the adjacent pachinko machine 2. At this time, a smoke exhaust fan having a capacity of 1260 m ³ / hour was used, and the wind speed at the suction port 6 of the suction duct 4 was measured to be 4.9 m / sec, and the air volume was 143 m ³ / hour.

When the pachinko balls 11 are clogged and the flow becomes poor, or when replenishing balls or performing wiring maintenance, the suction duct 4 is hinged as shown in FIG.
Since the suction duct 4 is attached so as to be freely opened and closed at 10, the suction duct 4 can be lifted up as shown by the phantom line, and the gutter 12 and the wiring installed inside the strip 3 can be inspected. Further, since the suction duct 4 is connected to the duct 14 by the bellows hose 5 having flexibility, the suction duct 4 can be easily opened and closed. Further, since the suction duct 4 is mounted in the form of a curtain plate above the pachinko machine 2, it does not become an obstacle,
Since the pipe 14 is also provided inside the strip 3, the appearance is not impaired, and the pipe 14 can be attached to the existing pachinko stand 2.

In the suction duct 4, cigarette tar and dust adhere. However, the suction duct 4 is periodically lifted up as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. The inside can be cleaned to remove stains and dust attached to the inside. At this time, the suction port 6
The suction amount adjusting plate 7 formed of a mesh, punching metal, etc., which can be detachably attached to the apparatus, can be removed for cleaning.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
A flexible bellows hose 5 is connected to the back of the suction duct 4, and this is connected to a square-tube-like duct 14 piped to the upper inside of the strip 3. In this structure, the bellows hose 5
Is connected to the back of the suction duct 4 so that it cannot be seen from the passage side, and the duct 14 is formed in a rectangular cylindrical shape and its height can be reduced, so it is hidden by the blind plate 17 and cannot be seen from the passage side. It does not spoil the atmosphere in the store.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a front plate of the suction duct 4 is attached to a transparent plastic plate 19.
And a partition plate 20 is provided therein to separate into an air flow portion 4a and an illumination portion 4b communicating with the suction port 6. This lighting unit 4
A fluorescent lamp 22 is mounted inside b, and this light illuminates the vicinity of the pachinko machine 2 through the translucent plastic plate 19. When replacing the fluorescent lamp 22, it is possible to remove the inspection lid 21 detachably attached to the partition plate 20 with the suction duct 4 raised and the inspection lid 8 on the back side removed.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a louver 23 is attached to the suction port 6 provided at the bottom of the suction duct 4 as a suction amount adjusting plate. In this structure, by adjusting the direction of the blade of the louver 23, the suction direction and the suction amount can be adjusted.

In the above embodiment, the case where the suction port 6 of the suction duct 4 is opened between the adjacent pachinko machines 2 and 2 in accordance with the width of the pachinko machine 2 is shown. Alternatively, the suction port 6 may be used. In order to confirm the effect of this structure, the size of the suction port 6 should be 40mm x 1100mm.
As a result, the smoke of the rising cigarette was sucked above the pachinko machine 2 and the smoke spread a little laterally, but did not bother the customer sitting next to it. Using a smoke exhaust fan with a capacity of 1260 m ³ / hour, the wind speed at the suction port 6 opened to the whole was measured.
At 85 m / s, the air volume was 134 m ³ / h. It was confirmed that the area of the suction port 6 was smaller than that of the above example, and the more the suction port 6 was provided at the boundary between the adjacent pachinko machines 2, the more effective.

In the above embodiment, the case where the width of the suction duct 4 is formed to be the width of the two pachinko machines 2 is shown, but a structure in which the width of one or three or more pachinko machines is formed may be employed. . Although the bellows hose 5 is used as the flexible hose connecting the duct 14 and the suction duct 4, another plastic hose may be used. The shape of the suction duct 4 is not limited to a hollow box shape projecting upward, but may be a flat plate shape.
