Description

  The present invention relates to a partition unit that partitions adjacent players who play a game with adjacent gaming machines.

  In gaming machine islands with multiple gaming machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines, in order to block cigarette smoke from neighboring players and sound from neighboring gaming machines, partition each player A partition plate is provided. Normally, a player plays a game while sitting on a stool in front of the gaming machine. Therefore, the partition plate will not have a sufficient effect unless it is protruded greatly from the gaming machine island to the passage side. However, if the partition plate is protruded to the side of the passage at all times, it becomes an obstacle when no player is present. Therefore, a retractable partition plate that can be pulled out and used when necessary has been proposed.

  For example, in Patent Document 1 below, a holding rail that supports the lower end of the partition plate from below and a holding rail that guides the upper end of the partition plate are provided so as to protrude from the front surface of the gaming machine island toward the passage side. A partition unit that is supported by a rail so as to sandwich the upper and lower sides of the partition plate is disclosed. The partition plate is slid and moved in and out along the upper and lower holding rails.

  Further, Patent Document 2 below discloses a partition plate that is rotated about a lower portion and pulled out toward the front.

Registered Utility Model No. 3167697 JP 2012-011140 A

  In the case of the partition unit disclosed in Patent Document 1, the partition plate is placed on the lower holding rail. That is, the lower holding rail functions to guide the partition plate and support all the weight of the partition plate, and the upper holding rail functions only to guide the upper portion of the partition plate. Therefore, the partition plate needs to be strong and thick enough not to bend due to its own weight. In the case of Patent Document 2, since the partition plate is supported only by the fulcrum, high strength is required for the partition plate.

  In this way, if the partition plate is thickened to increase the strength in order to support it in a removable manner, the cost increases. Further, since the transparency decreases as the thickness increases, it becomes difficult for the store clerk to see the player's hand, and it is difficult to find fraud. In addition, if the partition plate is thick and strong, a store clerk or player accidentally hits the partition plate, causing an unexpected injury, or the impact is transmitted to the gaming machine, causing inconvenience to the player. Problems occur.

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problem, and provides a partition unit that can smoothly put a partition plate in and out of a storage unit and is safe even if a clerk or the like collides with a drawn partition plate. It is aimed.

  The gist of the present invention for achieving the object lies in the inventions of the following items.

When the partition plate is stored in the storage portion, the support supported by the support portion so that an end edge on the storage direction side of the partition plate does not collide with an entrance of the storage portion due to bending of the partition plate. After a part enters the storage part, the part of the partition plate that has just entered the storage part and the part that is about to enter the storage part next to each other are connected to each other according to the separating shape. The partition unit is characterized in that the part that has entered immediately before guides the part that is about to enter the storage part into the storage part .

  In the above-described invention, the partition plate is slidably moved into and out of the storage unit, and in the pulled-out state, the partition plate serves as a partition for partitioning the players who play the game with adjacent gaming machines. The partition plate is thin enough to bend so that it can be restored, and is flexible and elastic. Moreover, a partition plate has a support location in a part of edge part by the side of the storage direction to a storage part, and a support part supports the support location. As a result, even when a store clerk or player collides with the partition plate that has been pulled out, the partition plate receives the impact, thereby preventing injury of the colliding person. In addition, since the impact is not easily transmitted to the gaming machine or the like through the partition unit, the gaming machine is not shaken by the impact and the game is not affected. Moreover, even if the partition plate is bent so that it can be restored, and the support part is only a part of the structure (such as one that bends under its own weight), the end edge (front edge) of the partition plate in the storage direction )) Is separated from the supporting portion in the vertical direction so that it is separated from the supporting portion in the pulling direction. Therefore, the partition plate can be smoothly stored without the front edge hitting the entrance of the storing portion. .

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a gaming machine island 2 to which a partition unit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. The gaming machine island 2 is a combination of a gaming machine 3 such as a pachinko machine, a gaming ball lending machine 4 that lends gaming media (such as a pachinko ball) to a player, and a partition unit 10 according to the present embodiment. Multiple sets are housed on the front and back of the island. The partition unit 10 is installed between the gaming machine 3 and the gaming machine 3. A chair 5 for a player to sit down is installed in a passage on the front side of each gaming machine 3.

  2 is a perspective view of the partition unit 10 according to the present embodiment as seen from the front oblique direction, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the partition unit 10 as seen from the rear oblique direction. 4 is a front view of the partition unit 10 in a state in which the partition plate 12 is pulled out, and FIG. 5 is a rear view of the partition unit 10 in a state in which the partition plate 12 is pulled out. 6 is a front view of the partition unit 10 in a state in which the partition plate 12 is accommodated, and FIG. 7 is a rear view of the partition unit 10 in a state in which the partition plate 12 is accommodated.

  As shown in each figure, the partition unit 10 includes a vertically long and thin storage unit 11 installed between the gaming machine 3 and the adjacent gaming machine 3, and a partition plate that is stored in the storage unit 11 and bends in a reversible manner. 12 and a support portion 13 that supports the partition plate 12 so as to be slidable between a position stored in the storage portion 11 and a position pulled out from the storage portion 11 in a vertical (vertical) direction and parallel to the pulling direction. It is prepared for. The partition plate 12 has a support portion at a part of the end portion on the storage direction side of the storage portion 11, and the support portion 13 supports the support portion.

  Here, the support part 13 is comprised from the upper support part 13a which supports the upper part of the partition plate 12, and the lower support part 13b which supports the lower part of the partition plate 12 (refer FIG.2, FIG.3, FIG.4). . Moreover, the partition plate 12 is comprised by the multiple sheet | seat pulled out in multiple steps. Specifically, a first-stage first partition plate 20 and a second-stage second partition plate 30 that is further drawn out from the first partition plate 20 are provided. The second partition plate 30 is attached to the first partition plate 20. Each of the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30 is formed of a transparent resin (for example, acrylic), and is a thin plate having flexibility and elasticity that bends in a recoverable manner. For example, when it is supported vertically with only the lower end, it is bent (flexed) by its own weight. The thickness is about 1.5 mm. Hereinafter, the storage direction side in the storage unit 11 is referred to as “front”, and the pull-out direction side is referred to as “rear”. Moreover, in each partition plate 20 and 30, the edge of the storage direction side to the storage part 11 is used as the front edge.

  The first partition plate 20 has a vertically long rectangle, and is entirely stored in the storage portion 11 at the storage position (see FIGS. 6 and 7). Further, the entire front edge is prevented from coming out of the storage portion 11 even at the drawer position (the position where the drawer is fully pulled out) (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

  The second partition plate 30 has a length in the vertical direction slightly shorter than that of the first partition plate 20 and a length in the pull-out direction longer than that of the first partition plate 20. In the storage position, the second partition plate 30 is in a state in which the rear end portion protrudes from the storage portion 11 as a part to be a handle (see FIGS. 6 and 7). At the pull-out position, the second partition plate 30 is further pulled out from the pulled-out first partition plate 20 and comes out of the storage portion 11 as a whole (see FIGS. 4 and 5). However, the rear end portion of the first partition plate 20 at the front stage and the front end portion of the second partition plate 30 at the rear stage overlap in the vertical direction even in the fully drawn state. In FIG. 5, the overlapping region 24 is hatched.

  In addition, the front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30 has a shape that is separated in the pull-out direction with respect to the support location as it is separated from the support location by the support portion 13 in the vertical direction. In the present embodiment, the support portion 13 supports the upper and lower support portions of the second partition plate 30, and the front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30 forms a concave arcuate shape on the drawer side. .

  Thereby, when the 2nd partition plate 30 is accommodated in the accommodating part 11, as shown in FIG. 9, among the front edge 32 of the 2nd partition plate 30, the upper and lower support location supported by the support part 13 is shown. Reaches the entrance of the storage unit 11 first. Since this part (supported part) is supported by the support part 13, it smoothly guides and enters the storage part 11 as it is.

  Since the front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30 is shaped so as to move away from the support location by the support portion 13 in the vertical direction, the portion supported by the support portion 13 is accommodated. After entering the part 11, the part of the second partition plate 30 that has just entered the storage part 11 and the part that is about to enter the storage part 11 next to each other are immediately connected, and the part that has just entered Smoothly guides the next portion to enter into the storage portion 11. Accordingly, even if the second partition plate 30 is configured by a member that bends by its own weight, the front edge 32 smoothly enters the storage unit 11 and is stored without colliding with the entrance of the storage unit 11. Further, even when the second partition plate 30 swells in the front direction (the plate portion 15 side of the storage portion 11) during storage, the second partition plate 30 is smoothly guided into the storage portion 11 by the above action.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the partition unit 10 will be described in more detail.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the storage portion 11 includes a vertically long rectangular plate portion 15 and an edge wall 16 that is bent at 90 degrees from almost the entire vertical side of the plate portion 15 and extends to a height of about 1 cm. And is configured. The storage unit 11 is made of a highly rigid metal plate or the like.

  The second partition plate 30 and the first partition plate 20 are attached to the plate portion 15 of the storage portion 11 so as to be parallel and slidable in and out in this order. That is, a gap for accommodating the second partition plate 30 is formed between the plate portion 15 of the storage portion 11 and the first partition plate 20, and the plate portion 15 of the storage portion 11 and the first partition plate are in the storage position. The second partition plate 30 is accommodated between the second partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 30.

  Of the support portion 13, the upper support portion 13 a that supports the upper portion of the partition plate 12 includes first-stage slide rails 41 and 42 that support the first partition plate 20 so that the first partition plate 20 can be inserted into and removed from the plate portion 15 of the storage portion 11. The second partition rails 43 and 44 support the second partition plate 30 slidably with respect to the first partition plate 20.

  The first-stage slide rails 41, 42 are provided on the first-stage outer rail 41 provided along the upper end of the surface (referred to as the back surface) of the plate portion 15 on the side having the edge wall 16, and the first-stage outer rail 41, 42. A first-stage inner rail 42 that slides in engagement with the rail 41 is configured. The first inner rail 42 is attached along the upper end of the surface of the first partition plate 20 (the surface facing the back surface of the plate portion 15 of the storage portion 11). A place where the first-stage inner rail 42 is provided is an upper support place in the first partition plate 20.

  The second-stage slide rails 43, 44 are provided on the upper surface of the first partition plate 20 and immediately below the first-stage inner rail 42, and the second-stage outer rail 43 and the second-stage outer rail 43. It is comprised from the 2nd step | paragraph inner rail 44 which engages and slides. The second stage inner rail 44 is attached along the back surface of the upper end of the second partition plate 30. A place where the second stage inner rail 44 is provided is an upper support place in the second partition plate 30. Since the second inner rail 44 terminates in the middle of the upper part of the second partition plate 30 (2/3 from the front end), the second partition plate 30 bends more when a player or a store clerk hits it. It can easily pass the shock well.

  The lower support part 13b which supports the lower part of the partition plate 12 among the support parts 13 is provided in the lower end part of the board part 15, and the guide part 45 provided with the guide groove 45a in which the lower part of the 1st partition plate 20 is inserted. And a guide slit 46 provided in the lower part of the first partition plate 20 along the loading / unloading direction, and a guide slit 46 provided in the lower part of the second partition plate 30 to be engaged with the guide slit 46 below the first partition plate 20. It comprises a guide pin 47. The lower end of the first partition plate 20 is in a state of floating from the bottom of the guide groove 45 a of the guide portion 45. The guide pin 47 is provided near the lower front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30. A portion inserted into the guide groove 45 a of the guide portion 45 is a lower support portion of the first partition plate 20. The lower support portion of the second partition plate 30 is a portion where the guide pins 47 are present.

  Since the upper support portion 13a is composed of the slide rails 41 to 44, the upper support portion 13a supports the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30 so as to be suspended, receives their weight, and is positioned relative to the storage portion 11 ( The position of the second partition plate 30 in the thickness direction) is regulated.

  On the other hand, the lower support portion 13b does not perform the function of receiving the weight of the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30, but exclusively functions to regulate the position. That is, since the lower part of the first partition plate 20 slides in a state where it does not reach the bottom of the guide groove 45a in the guide groove 45a of the guide part 45, the position in the thickness direction is regulated by the guide groove 45a, It does not swing in that direction. The lower part of the second partition plate 30 slides with the guide pins 47 engaged with the guide slits 46 of the first partition plate 20. Thus, the position of the front end portion of the lower part of the second partition plate 30 is maintained by the guide pins 47 and is maintained along the first partition plate 2, and the first partition plate 20 is not swung in the thickness direction. Absent.

  A spacer 22 is provided at a predetermined location on the front side of the first partition plate 20 (see FIGS. 5 and 7). The spacer 22 functions to ensure a gap in which the second partition plate 30 enters between the plate portion 15 of the storage portion 11 and the first partition plate 20. That is, since the first partition plate 20 has flexibility such that the first partition plate 20 bends (bends) by its own weight so as to be restored, the gap between the first partition plate 20 and the plate portion 15 of the storage portion 11 is narrowed by the bending. If it becomes, it will become difficult to enter the 2nd partition plate 30 between these.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the second partition plate 30 is returned to the storage position while the first partition plate 20 in the first stage is pulled out from the storage unit 11, the storage unit 11. A gap is secured by the spacer 22 between the plate portion 15 and the first partition plate 20, and the front end portion of the second partition plate 30 smoothly enters the gap between the plate portion 15 and the first partition plate 20. it can.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the spacer 22 does not collide with the front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30 in a state where the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30 are stored in the storage unit 11 up to the storage completion position. Placement and size are set. Here, the second partition plate 30 is configured to fit in an arcuate recess formed in the front end portion.

  In addition, the edges in the pull-out direction of the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30 are covered with a flexible and elastic protective cover 51 such as rubber. The protective cover 51 functions to prevent injury and increase safety. The protective cover 51 also functions to prevent the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30 from rubbing against each other. The protective cover 51 is provided on all or part of the edge of the partition plate 12 (the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30) that may be directly touched by the player.

  Next, the operation of the partition unit 10 will be described.

  The partition unit 10 can partition adjacent players by pulling out the partition plate 12 (the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30) from the storage unit 11. As a result, it is possible to block the tobacco smoke of the next player, the sound from the next gaming machine 3 or the game ball lending machine 4, the voice of the next player, etc., and a more comfortable personal space is formed. The

  In addition, since the partition plate 12 of the partition unit 10 is transparent, even when the partition unit 10 is pulled out, the visibility is not lowered when the store clerk or the monitoring camera of the game hall monitors the player's hand, thereby preventing illegal acts. .

  Moreover, since the partition plate 12 is thinned, the manufacturing cost of the partition unit 10 can be reduced. By making the partition plate 12 thinner, the thickness of the partition unit 10 as a whole is also reduced. In the existing gaming machine island 2, the partition unit 10 is added between adjacent gaming machines 3 without reducing the number of preinstalled machines. Can be installed.

  Since the partition plate 12 is thin and has flexibility and elasticity so that it can be bent by its own weight so that it can be restored, even if a player or a shop clerk hits the partition plate 12, the partition plate 12 does not receive the impact. Pour it away. This prevents injury to the clerk or player who hits it. In addition, it is difficult for a player or a store clerk of the game hall to hit the partition plate 12, so that it is difficult for the game machine 3 to shake and affect the game due to this shock. The For example, if the above-mentioned impact is transmitted to the gaming machine 3, it may affect the behavior of the pachinko ball, which may cause discomfort and annoyance to the player. Things are prevented.

  Further, since the partition unit 10 can store the partition plate 12 in the storage unit 11 by sliding movement, the store clerk of the game hall can be placed in front of the gaming machine 3 or the like as compared with a type that cannot be stored or a type that is rotated and stored. Improves workability of various operations performed in For example, when a player calls a store clerk, the store clerk comes next to the player, cancels the call lamp, exchanges a ball box, and delivers cigarettes and juice. During such work, the clerk's body and hand often hit the partition 12 toward the gaming machine island 2 side, but when the clerk's body and hand hit the partition 12, the partition 12 Since it slides easily to the storage unit 11 side, hot coffee and juice are prevented from spilling due to impact. As a result, it is unnecessary for the store clerk to bother to store the partition plate 12. In addition, accidents such as a store clerk hitting the partition plate 12 to be injured or a spilled hot coffee on the player are prevented.

  Further, when the player stands, the partition plate 12 bends flexibly, so that the player can stand without storing the partition plate 12 one by one. That is, even if the player's body who is going to leave the seat hits the partition plate 12, the partition plate 12 bends flexibly, so that the player can bend and push the partition plate 12 with his / her body or hand without receiving a strong impact. However, you can stand up as is. Further, even when the player stands by seating the partition plate 12, the partition plate 12 is thin and light, so that the partition plate 12 can be easily put in and out.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the second partition plate 30 is stored, the upper and lower support portions supported by the support portion 13 of the second partition plate 30 are guided to the support portion 13 (particularly in the thickness direction). The position is regulated, and smoothly enters the storage portion 11 (specifically, between the plate portion 15 of the storage portion 11 and the first partition plate 20). Further, the front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30 is shaped so as to move away from the support portion by the support portion 13 in the longitudinal direction, and away from the support portion in the drawing direction (rear end side). After the portion supported by the storage portion 11 enters the storage portion 11, the portion of the second partition plate 30 that has just entered the storage portion 11 and the next portion that is about to enter the storage portion 11 are closest to each other. The next portion to be entered is guided by the portion that has entered immediately before and smoothly enters the storage portion 11. Thereby, even if the 2nd partition plate 30 is comprised so that it may be easily bent by its own weight, the front edge 32 does not collide with the inlet_port | entrance (plate part 15 or the 1st partition plate 20) of the accommodating part 11. FIG. , Smoothly enters the storage unit 11 and is stored.

  Further, since the front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30 does not hit the entrance of the storage portion 11, the second partition plate 30 may be damaged (cracked or chipped) by an impact hitting the entrance of the storage portion 11. Absent.

  Even when the first partition plate 20 is fully pulled out, the entire front edge of the first partition plate 20 in the first stage is in the storage unit 11, and the rear end portion of the first partition plate 20 in the first stage and the second stage The front end portion of the second partition plate 30 overlaps over the entire length. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the arcuate recess 32 at the front end of the second-stage second partition plate 30 is accommodated within an overlap range 24 with the first-stage first partition plate 20. Yes. As a result, there is no gap between the storage portion 11 and the front edge of the first partition plate 20 or between the rear end portion of the first partition plate 20 and the front end portion of the second partition plate 30. Can effectively block cigarette smoke and sound.

  Further, since the lower support portion 13b is constituted by the guide groove 45a, the guide slit 46, and the guide pin 47, it can cope with the size variation due to the thermal expansion of the first partition plate 20 or the second partition plate 30. . Unlike guide rails, the visibility of the player's hand does not decrease, so cheating is prevented.

  Since the upper and lower portions of the partition plate 12 are supported by the support portion 13 (upper support portion 13a and lower support portion 13b), for example, compared to the case where only the upper portion is supported, the lower portion of the partition plate 12 in the pulled out state The shaking can be suppressed and the partition plate 12 can be maintained in a stable posture.

  The first partition plate 20 is not completely pulled out from the storage unit 11, and the entire front edge is always stored in the storage unit 11. As a result, like the second partition plate 30, the front edge of the first partition plate 20 needs to have a shape that moves away from the support location in the pull-out direction (rear end side) as the distance from the support location increases. Absent.

  Next, another embodiment according to the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 10 shows a partition unit 10A according to the second embodiment. The support part 13 of the partition unit 10A is only the upper support part 13a, and the lower part of the partition plate 12 is not supported or regulated by the support part 13. Moreover, since only the upper part of the partition plate 12 is supported by the upper support part 13a, the front edge 32 becomes a shape which leaves | separates in the pull-out direction, so that it leaves | separates below from the support location by the upper support part 13a.

  FIG. 11 shows a partition unit 10B according to the second embodiment. The support portion 13 of the partition unit 10B is a central support portion 13c that supports the partition plate 12 only at the central portion in the vertical direction. Therefore, the front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30 has a shape that is separated in the pull-out direction as it is separated downward in the portion below the support location by the center support portion 13c, and the portion above the support location by the center support portion 13c. Then, the shape which leaves | separates in the pull-out direction, so that it leaves | separates upwards is comprised. That is, the front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30 forms a wedge shape toward the storage unit 11 toward the center in the vertical direction.

  In the partition units 10C to 10E shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the rear end portion of the first partition plate 20 and the front end portion of the second partition plate 30 do not overlap when the second partition plate 30 is fully drawn out. An example of a form in which a region (gap) is generated is shown. Even when such a non-overlapping region occurs, the front edge 32 of the second partition plate 30 is shaped so as to be separated in the pull-out direction as it is separated from the support portion in the vertical direction, so that the storage unit 11 can be smoothly stored. Is secured.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to that shown in the embodiment, and there are changes and additions within the scope of the present invention. Are also included in the present invention.

  The storage unit 11 may be configured in a box shape having an inlet for taking in and out the partition plate 12.

  In the embodiment, a configuration example in which two stages are drawn is shown, but the number of stages of the partition plate 12 may be arbitrary, and may be only one stage or three stages or more. In the case of one stage, the effect of facilitating storage by making the shape of the leading edge of the first stage away from the support location in the longitudinal direction with respect to the support location in the pull-out direction is at least one stage. This is effective when a part of the front edge of the eye comes out of the storage unit 11. On the other hand, in the configuration of three or more stages, the second stage and the third stage all come out of the storage unit 11, so that the shape of the leading edge of both the second stage and the third stage is set vertically from the support location. As the distance increases, the support portion is separated in the pull-out direction.

  In the embodiment, the upper support portion 13a is the slide rail and the lower support portion 13b is the guide groove 45a, the guide slit 46, the guide pin 47, and the like as the support portion 13, but the lower support portion 13b may be a slide rail.

  The partition plate 12 is not limited to being transparent. Moreover, as long as it bends so that restoration | restoration is possible, it does not need to be so flexible that it bends with its own weight when it is made vertical. The present invention is applied to a case where the possibility that the front edge 32 collides with the entrance of the storage portion 11 is bent to some extent.

  Further, the gaming machine island 2 is not limited to the configuration that accommodates the gaming machine 3 (pachinko machine) and the gaming ball lending machine 4 exemplified in the embodiment, and the gaming machine island 2 that accommodates slot machines, medal lending machines, and the like. It doesn't matter.
