[0003]
Here, as a state of the equipped chair, there are a case where the leg is fixed to the floor surface or the game island and a case where the leg is not fixed and can be moved freely.
And if the chair on the wheelchair is fixed on the floor or the game island, the person in the wheelchair must play the game after getting off the wheelchair and moving to the chair. When the chair is not fixed, the player has moved the attached chair and played the game while sitting in the wheelchair.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, it is very difficult for a person who is in a wheelchair to move from a wheelchair to a provided chair. In addition, a large burden is placed on those who provide assistance. Furthermore, after changing seats, the wheelchair must be transported to an unobstructed position, which is time consuming and requires a separate wheelchair storage area.
[0005]
Moreover, when moving the chair provided, it takes time to move the chair, and a chair place is required as well.
Furthermore, although it is possible to provide an area where a chair is not provided from the beginning as a wheelchair-only corner, it is simply an area that cannot be used by people who are not disabled. In addition, the availability of wheelchair-specific corner gaming machines is expected to be considerably lower than that of general areas. Therefore, the profit obtained in the wheelchair corner is expected to be lower than the profit obtained in the general area. For this reason, the wheelchair corner cannot be made very wide. Moreover, since it cannot be made wide, the kind and number of gaming machines are limited. Therefore, even if a wheelchair-only corner is provided, the desired gaming machine may not be installed, and the game cannot be fully enjoyed.
[0006]
In addition, as a structure for simply storing the equipped chair in the game island, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-243251, the chair is rotated around the support portion provided on the floor and stored in the game island. Is described. However, in such a structure, the wheelchair cannot be brought close to the gaming machine due to the support portion being in the way. Therefore, it is impossible to play a game while riding in a wheelchair.
[0007]
As described above, the maintenance of a pachinko hall and other game halls for people in wheelchairs is not perfect. And those who are in wheelchairs cannot visit pachinko halls easily because of not only annoyance of themselves but also a burden on others.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[Embodiment 1]
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the chair 11 applied to the game island facility of the embodiment is provided on a turntable 12 provided at substantially the same height as the floor surface. A number of gaming machines provided on the game island 1, each consisting of a support column 13 standing at one point on the turntable 12 at an appropriate distance from the center of rotation and a seat portion 14 provided on the support column 13. It is located in front of the corresponding one of the two. The turntable 12 can freely rotate together with the chair 11 provided thereon, but a stop member 15 as the stop means is provided in order to prevent unintentional rotation.
[0022]
When the chair 11 is stored, the seat portion 14 is tilted toward the rotation center (the gaming machine side) of the turntable 12. And the suppression of the rotation by the stop member 15 is cancelled | released, and the turntable 12 is rotated half a circle. Thereby, the chair 11 in the use position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 moves to the storage position in the space 3 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. That is, since the support column 13 and the seat portion 14 are stored in the space 3, a sufficient space can be secured in front of the lower part of the gaming machine 2 and a wheelchair can be mounted. However, the chair 11 does not get in the way. Then, the rotation of the turntable 12 is suppressed by the stop member 15.
[0023]
When returning the chair 11 to the use position again, the work opposite to that described above, that is, the work of rotating the turntable 12 in the opposite direction, fixing it to the use position by the stop member 15, and raising the seat portion 14 may be performed.
Here, the structure of the stop member 15 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A is an enlarged view of the stop member 15 shown in FIG. 2 and its surroundings. The stop member 15 includes a protrusion 16 provided on the lower surface of the turntable 12 and a concave member 17 provided on the floor surface. The concave member 17 is made of metal and has elasticity. FIG. 5B is a plan view, and when the turntable 12 is stopped, the protrusion 16 and the recess member 17 are engaged as shown in FIG. When releasing the stop, the turntable 12 is urged in the rotation direction, and the protrusion 16 is moved in the direction of the arrow X in FIG. Since the concave member 17 has elasticity, the opening 18 is expanded as the protrusion 16 moves. When the protrusion 16 further moves, the engagement is released as shown in FIG. 5C, and the stop of the turntable 12 is released.
[0024]
According to this embodiment, when a person on the wheelchair plays, the store clerk or the person on the wheelchair himself defeats the seat portion 14 and rotates the turntable 12 to move the chair 11 to the game island. By storing in 1, a space is created in front of the gaming machine 2. Then, a game is played while riding in a wheelchair in the space. Further, when the game of the person in the wheelchair is finished and the next player uses the chair 11, the chair 11 is returned to the original position by performing the reverse operation of the storing operation. Here, the reason why the seat part 14 is tilted in the direction of the rotation center of the turntable 12 is that when the chair 11 is moved to the storage position, the seat surface 19 of the seat part 14 is directed to the player side. is there. In this way, when the seat surface 19 faces the player side, the seat portion 14 can be used as a foot rest by forming the seat portion 14 with a soft cushion, for example.
[0025]
Thus, since the chair 11 can be easily stored and taken out, it is not only convenient for a person in a wheelchair but also has no inconvenience for a person using the provided chair 11. Also, since there is no need for troublesome handling, the store clerk can concentrate on other services.
[0026]
When the chair 11 is stored in the storage position as described above, the chair 11 does not get in the way when cleaning the passage between the game islands, and the work can be performed efficiently. The work of returning the chair 11 to the original after the cleaning is completed is only a simple work such as rotating the turntable 12. Therefore, the labor required for cleaning can be reduced.
[0027]
[Embodiment 2]
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the storage table applied to the game island facility of the present embodiment is provided at the same position as the conventional storage table. However, unlike the conventional case, the storage table of the present embodiment is divided into a storage table 21 for each gaming machine, and the storage table 21 is further divided into three parts, a central part 22 and both side parts 23. Yes. The central portion 22 is fixed to the lower portion of the gaming machine 2 like a conventional storage table. On the other hand, the both side portions 23 are not fixed to the lower part of the gaming machine 2 but are attached so as to be able to be immersed toward the inside of the gaming island 1. In addition, a storage space 24 is provided on the game island 1 for storing both side portions 23.
[0028]
When the both side portions 23 are stored, the both side portions 23 are pushed toward the inside of the game island 1 from the state shown in FIGS. Then, the both side portions 23 are translated and stored in the storage position inside the game island 1. At the time of storage, the state is as shown in FIGS.
When the both side portions 23 are returned to the use position, which is the original position, the work opposite to the above, that is, the work of pulling out may be performed.
[0029]
According to this embodiment, when it is desired to use the storage table 21 widely, it is in a state as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, but when a person on the wheelchair plays a game, the armrest of the wheelchair and the storage table When the heights of the two are the same, the game is disturbed (cannot approach the gaming machine 2), the both side portions 23 can be accommodated, and the state shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 can be obtained. For this reason, it is possible to play a game in a state in which the central portion 22 is sandwiched between the armrests of the wheelchair and in the state of being close to the gaming machine 2. Here, the width of the central portion 22 is preferably 20 to 30 cm. This is a numerical value that takes into account the fact that it must be narrower than the interval between the armrests provided in the wheelchair and that it must be wide enough to hold the dollar box into which the prize ball is placed. Further, for example, a serrated projection group is provided on the side surfaces of both side portions 23, and a claw that can mesh with the projection group is provided at the center portion 22. It is preferable that the fixation can be released by releasing the meshing. If it does in this way, since both the side parts 23 can be fixed to a use position, it will become easier to use.
