Description

本発明は、隣接配置された遊技機で遊技を行う隣り合う遊技者の間を仕切る間仕切りユニットに関する。 The present invention relates to a partition unit that partitions adjacent players who play a game with adjacent gaming machines.

パチンコ機やスロットマシンなどの遊技機が複数併設された遊技機島においては、隣の遊技者からのタバコの煙や隣の遊技機からの音などを遮るために、各遊技者間を仕切る仕切り板が設けられる。通常、遊技者は遊技機の前方の腰掛けに座って遊技を行う。そのため、仕切り板は遊技機島から通路側へ大きく突出させなければ十分な効果を果たさない。しかし、常時、仕切り板を通路側へ大きく突出させると、遊技者が不在のときは邪魔になる。そこで、必要時に引き出して使用可能な収納式の仕切り板が提案されている。 On gaming machine islands with multiple pachinko machines and slot machines, a partition that separates each player in order to block tobacco smoke from neighboring players and sound from neighboring gaming machines A 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.

たとえば、下記特許文献１には、遊技機間に配置される収容ケース内に重合状態に複数枚の仕切り板が出退自在に収納されており、収容ケースから引出される１枚目の仕切り板と２枚目の仕切り板との間に、１枚目の仕切り板の引出し動作で２枚目の仕切り板を引出し動作させる連携手段を備えた仕切装置が開示されている。収容ケースには、前端側に上下一対のカバー部材がそれぞれ上下端部側を中心に回動自在に設けられており、このカバー部材を水平に回動させて開くと、このカバー部材が仕切り板を前後方向に案内する案内溝として機能する。 For example, in Patent Document 1 below, a plurality of partition plates are stored in a superposed state in a storage case disposed between the gaming machines so as to be retractable, and the first partition plate drawn out from the storage case And a second partition plate, there is disclosed a partition device provided with cooperation means for pulling out the second partition plate by pulling out the first partition plate. In the housing case, a pair of upper and lower cover members are provided on the front end side so as to be pivotable about the upper and lower end sides, respectively, and when the cover member is horizontally rotated, the cover member is separated from the partition plate. It functions as a guide groove that guides in the front-rear direction.

また、下記特許文献２には、下部を中心に回動させて上部を手前に引き出すようにした仕切り板が開示されている。 Further, Patent Document 2 below discloses a partition plate that is rotated about a lower portion and pulled out toward the front.

登録実用新案第３１２３２４３号Registered utility model No. 3123243 特開２０１２−０１１１４０号公報JP 2012-011140 A

間仕切りユニットのコストの中で、アクリル板などで形成される仕切り板の材料費が占める割合は大きい。また、厚みが増せば透明度が低下するので遊技者の手元を店員等が見難くなり、不正行為を見つけ難くなる。さらに、厚くて重いアクリル板を使用すると、万が一落下した場合の安全性に問題がある。そこで、薄い仕切り板を使用することが望まれる。 In the cost of the partition unit, the ratio of the material cost of the partition plate formed of an acrylic plate or the like is large. 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. Furthermore, when a thick and heavy acrylic plate is used, there is a problem in safety in the event of dropping. Therefore, it is desired to use a thin partition plate.

特許文献１に開示の仕切装置では、仕切り板は、枠体の中にアクリル板を有する構造なので、薄いアクリル板を使用することができる。しかし、枠が必要となるほか、連携手段や手前に開くと案内溝として機能するカバー部材などの機構を必要とし、構造が複雑になる。また、枠があるため、遊技者の手元の視認性は良くない。さらに、上下のカバー部材で仕切り板をしっかりと保持するので、仕切り板での音の反射率が高くなる。そのため、遊技者の左右両側に仕切り板を引き出した場合、これらの仕切り板に挟まれた狭い空間内で音が反響し易くなり、反響する音を遊技者が不快に感じることがある。 In the partition device disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the partition plate has a structure having an acrylic plate in the frame, a thin acrylic plate can be used. However, in addition to the need for a frame, a mechanism such as a cover member that functions as a guide groove when the link means or the front is opened requires a complicated structure. Moreover, since there is a frame, the visibility at the player's hand is not good. Furthermore, since the partition plate is firmly held by the upper and lower cover members, the reflectance of sound at the partition plate is increased. For this reason, when the partition plates are pulled out on both the left and right sides of the player, the sound is likely to reverberate in a narrow space sandwiched between these partition plates, and the player may feel the reflected sound uncomfortable.

特許文献２に開示された構成では、支点だけで仕切り板を支持するので、仕切り板に高い強度が求められ、結果的に、厚い仕切り板を使用しなければならない。 In the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the partition plate is supported only by the fulcrum, high strength is required for the partition plate, and as a result, a thick partition plate must be used.

本発明は、上記の問題を解決しようとするものであり、出し入れ可能な仕切り板で遊技者間を仕切る間仕切りユニットであって、薄い仕切り板を使用可能な間仕切りユニットを提供することを目的としている。また、音の反射が少ない間仕切りユニットを提供することを第２の目的としている。 The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a partition unit that partitions a player with a partition plate that can be taken in and out, and that can use a thin partition plate. . Another object of the present invention is to provide a partition unit with less sound reflection.

A guide pin 46 that engages with the lower guide slit 45, a guide slit 47 that is provided in the lower part of the first partition plate 20 along the direction of insertion and removal of the second partition plate 30, and a front end portion of the second partition plate 30. And a guide pin 48 that engages with a guide slit 47 in the lower part of the first partition plate 20.

第１仕切り板２０において、ガイドスリット４７はガイドピン４６より下方に設けられている。ガイドピン４６、４８にＥリングを嵌めることでガイドピン４６、４８がガイドスリット４５、４７から抜けないようにされる。ガイドスリット４５の両端は、収納部１１の前端および後端から１〜２ｃｍ離れた位置にあり、ガイドスリット４７の両端は、第１仕切り板２０の前端および後端から１〜２ｃｍ離れた位置にある。 In the first partition plate 20, the guide slit 47 is provided below the guide pin 46. By fitting the E-ring to the guide pins 46 and 48, the guide pins 46 and 48 are prevented from being removed from the guide slits 45 and 47. Both ends of the guide slit 45 are at a position 1 to 2 cm away from the front end and the rear end of the storage portion 11, and both ends of the guide slit 47 are at a position 1 to 2 cm away from the front end and the rear end of the first partition plate 20. is there.

さらに、間仕切りユニット１０は、収納部１１の板部１７の縦方向の中央にも、引き出し方向に沿ったガイドスリット５１を有すると共に、このガイドスリット５１に係合されるガイドピン５２を、第１仕切り板２０の前端部の縦方向の中央に備えている。これにより、第１仕切り板２０の前端部は、上部、中央部、下部の３箇所で支持される。 Further, the partition unit 10 has a guide slit 51 along the pull-out direction at the center in the longitudinal direction of the plate portion 17 of the storage portion 11, and a guide pin 52 that is engaged with the guide slit 51 is provided with the first guide pin 52. It is provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of the front end portion of the partition plate 20. Thereby, the front-end part of the 1st partition plate 20 is supported by three places, an upper part, a center part, and a lower part.

各ガイドスリット４１、４３、４５、４７は、それぞれ、その引き出し方向の端部（後端側）が下方に傾斜している。この下方に傾斜した部分は、引き出された仕切り板１２が収納方向へ容易に戻ることを防止するストッパ機構をなしている。図６は、第１仕切り板２０の上部に設けられたガイドスリット４３の下り傾斜した後端部と第２仕切り板３０の上部の前端部に設けられたガイドピン４４とを拡大図示している。 Each guide slit 41, 43, 45, 47 has an end (rear end side) in the pulling direction inclined downward. This downwardly inclined portion forms a stopper mechanism that prevents the drawn partition plate 12 from easily returning in the storage direction. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the rear end portion of the guide slit 43 provided at the upper part of the first partition plate 20 and the guide pin 44 provided at the front end portion of the upper part of the second partition plate 30. .

また、図３に示すように、収納部１１の入口下部には、引き出された状態の最も前段の仕切り板（第１仕切り板２０）の前端の下側の角を、引き出し方向の斜め上に向けて押圧する付勢部材５４が設けてある。図７は、第１仕切り板２０を引き出した状態における付勢部材５４およびその周囲を拡大図示している。ここでは、付勢部材５４は板ばねである。付勢部材５４は、上記押圧する機能を果たせば、板ばね以外で構成されてもよい。第１仕切り板２０の前端の下側の角を、引き出し方向の斜め上に向けて付勢部材５４で押圧することで、引き出された第１仕切り板２０がふらつかずに安定する。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower corner of the front end of the frontmost partition plate (first partition plate 20) in the pulled-out state is diagonally upward in the pull-out direction at the lower portion of the entrance of the storage unit 11. An urging member 54 is provided to press it. FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the urging member 54 and the periphery thereof in a state where the first partition plate 20 is pulled out. Here, the urging member 54 is a leaf spring. The urging member 54 may be configured by other than the leaf spring as long as it performs the pressing function. By pressing the lower corner of the front end of the first partition plate 20 diagonally upward in the pull-out direction with the urging member 54, the pulled-out first partition plate 20 is stabilized without wobbling.

第１仕切り板２０および第２仕切り板３０の下端には、収納部１１へ収納した収納位置において付勢部材５４が当接する箇所に、凹部５５を設けてある。図８に示すように、収納部１１に第１仕切り板２０および第２仕切り板３０を収納すると、第１仕切り板２０および第２仕切り板３０の下端の凹部５５に付勢部材５４の先端部が嵌り込む。これにより、付勢部材５４は、収納部１１に収められた仕切り板１２が容易に収納部１１から出ないように作用してストッパの機能を果たす。 At the lower ends of the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30, a recess 55 is provided at a location where the urging member 54 abuts at the storage position stored in the storage portion 11. As shown in FIG. 8, when the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30 are stored in the storage portion 11, the distal end portion of the biasing member 54 is inserted into the recess 55 at the lower end of the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30. Fits. As a result, the biasing member 54 functions as a stopper by acting so that the partition plate 12 stored in the storage unit 11 does not easily come out of the storage unit 11.

図２に示すように、第２仕切り板３０の前端部の縦方向の中央には、補強部材６１が取り付けてある。補強部材６１は、図９に示すように、矩形の２枚の平行な板を同一方向に湾曲させて備える断面コの字状の高剛性の部材である。２枚の板の間隔は第２仕切り板３０の厚みに対応しており、補強部材６１は、２枚の板の間に第２仕切り板３０の前端部を挟み込むようにして第２仕切り板３０に取り付けられる。 As shown in FIG. 2, a reinforcing member 61 is attached to the longitudinal center of the front end portion of the second partition plate 30. As shown in FIG. 9, the reinforcing member 61 is a high-rigidity member having a U-shaped cross section including two rectangular parallel plates curved in the same direction. The interval between the two plates corresponds to the thickness of the second partition plate 30, and the reinforcing member 61 is attached to the second partition plate 30 so that the front end portion of the second partition plate 30 is sandwiched between the two plates. It is done.

補強部材６１を、第１仕切り板２０に対して凸となる向きで第２仕切り板３０の前端部に取り付けることで、図１０に示すように、第２仕切り板３０が波状に湾曲する。詳細には、第２仕切り板３０の前端部の縦方向の略中央に補強部材６１を第１仕切り板２０に対して凸となる向きに取り付けると、補強部材６１を頂として第２仕切り板３０の補強部材６１近傍部分が第１仕切り板２０に対して凸となるように湾曲する。また、第１仕切り板２０の上部と第２仕切り板３０の上部は上支持部１４で連結され、第１仕切り板２０の下部と第２仕切り板３０の下部は下支持部１５によって連結されているので、上記の凸となった湾曲部分の上下の両側から第２仕切り板３０の上下両端にかけて第２仕切り板３０が第１仕切り板２０に対して凹となるように湾曲する。その結果、第２仕切り板３０の前縁部が波状に湾曲する。 By attaching the reinforcing member 61 to the front end portion of the second partition plate 30 in a direction that is convex with respect to the first partition plate 20, the second partition plate 30 is curved in a wave shape as shown in FIG. Specifically, when the reinforcing member 61 is attached to a substantially center in the longitudinal direction of the front end portion of the second partition plate 30 so as to be convex with respect to the first partition plate 20, the second partition plate 30 with the reinforcing member 61 as the top. The portion near the reinforcing member 61 is curved so as to be convex with respect to the first partition plate 20. The upper part of the first partition plate 20 and the upper part of the second partition plate 30 are connected by the upper support part 14, and the lower part of the first partition plate 20 and the lower part of the second partition plate 30 are connected by the lower support part 15. Therefore, the second partition plate 30 is curved so as to be concave with respect to the first partition plate 20 from both the upper and lower sides of the convex curved portion to the upper and lower ends of the second partition plate 30. As a result, the front edge of the second partition plate 30 is curved in a wave shape.

この波状の湾曲により、第２仕切り板３０の腰が強くなって、水平方向（引き出し方向）の変形に対する強度が上がる。 Due to this wavy curve, the waist of the second partition plate 30 becomes stronger, and the strength against deformation in the horizontal direction (drawing direction) increases.

なお、補強部材６１に代えて、図１１に示すような、湾曲した矩形の板が１枚のみの断面Ｌ字状の補強部材６１ｂを使用してもよい。この場合、補強部材６１ｂを第２仕切り板３０の前縁部に接着剤等で貼り付ければよい。 Instead of the reinforcing member 61, a reinforcing member 61b having an L-shaped cross section having only one curved rectangular plate as shown in FIG. 11 may be used. In this case, the reinforcing member 61b may be attached to the front edge portion of the second partition plate 30 with an adhesive or the like.

このほか、第２仕切り板３０の引き出し方向の端縁（後縁）を、ゴムなどの柔軟で弾性のある保護カバーで覆うように構成してもよい。保護カバーは、怪我を防止して安全性を高める作用を果たす。保護カバーは、第２仕切り板３０のうち、遊技者が直接、手で触れることのある端縁の全部または一部に設けられる。 In addition, you may comprise so that the edge (rear edge) of the drawer direction of the 2nd partition plate 30 may be covered with flexible and elastic protective covers, such as rubber | gum. The protective cover serves to prevent injury and increase safety. The protective cover is provided on all or part of the edge of the second partition plate 30 that the player may touch directly.

次に、間仕切りユニット１０の作用を説明する。 Next, the operation of the partition unit 10 will be described.

間仕切りユニット１０は、仕切り板１２（第１仕切り板２０および第２仕切り板３０）を収納部１１から引き出すことで、隣りあう遊技者間を仕切ることができる。これにより、隣の遊技者のタバコの煙や、隣の遊技機３や遊技球貸機４からの音、隣の遊技者の声などを遮ることができ、より快適な個人の空間が形成される。 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

また、間仕切りユニット１０の仕切り板１２は透明であり、特に仕切り板１２の下部の下支持部１５はガイドスリット４５、４７とガイドピン４６、４８で構成されるので、たとえば、金属性のスライドレールのように視界を大きく遮ることがなく、仕切り板１２を引き出した状態でも、遊技者の手元を遊技場の店員や監視カメラが監視する際に視認性が低下せず、不正行為を防止することができる。 Further, the partition plate 12 of the partition unit 10 is transparent, and in particular, the lower support portion 15 at the lower portion of the partition plate 12 is constituted by guide slits 45 and 47 and guide pins 46 and 48. For example, a metal slide rail As shown in FIG. 4, even when the partition plate 12 is pulled out without being greatly obstructed, 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. Can do.

また、仕切り板１２を薄くしたので、間仕切りユニット１０の製造コストを安価にすることができる。仕切り板１２を薄くすることで間仕切りユニット１０全体としての厚みも薄くなり、既存の遊技機島２では、予め設置された台数を減らすことなく間仕切りユニット１０を隣り合う各遊技機３の間に追加設置することができる。また、薄い仕切り板１２は重量も軽いので、ガイドスリット４１、４３、４５、４７とガイドピン４２，４４、４６、４８という簡易な支持方法で支持することができる。 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. Further, since the thin partition plate 12 is light in weight, it can be supported by a simple support method of the guide slits 41, 43, 45, 47 and the guide pins 42, 44, 46, 48.

仕切り板１２は、薄くて、復元可能に自重で曲がるような柔軟性と弾性を備えているので、遊技者や遊技場の店員が仕切り板１２にぶつかった場合でも、仕切り板１２はその衝撃を受け流す。これにより、ぶつかった店員や遊技者の怪我が防止される。また、遊技者や遊技場の店員が仕切り板１２にぶつかった際の衝撃が遊技機島２へ伝わり難いので、この衝撃によって遊技機３が揺れて遊技に影響を与えてしまうといったことが防止される。たとえば、上記の衝撃が遊技機３に伝わると、パチンコ球の挙動に影響を与えてしまい、遊技者に不快感や迷惑を与えることがあるが、本実施の形態の間仕切りユニット１０ではそのような事態が防止される。 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.

また、間仕切りユニット１０は、スライド移動により仕切り板１２を収納部１１に収納可能なので、収納できないタイプや回動させて収納させるタイプのものに比べて、遊技場の店員が遊技機３等の前で行う各種作業の作業性が向上する。たとえば、遊技者が店員を呼び出した際、店員は、遊技者の隣に来て、呼出しランプを解除し、玉箱交換、たばこやジュースなどの受け渡しを行う。このような作業の際に店員の体や手が仕切り板１２を遊技機島２側へ押す方向に当たることが多々あるが、店員の体や手が仕切り板１２に当たったときに仕切り板１２が収納部１１側へ容易にスライドするので、当たった衝撃で熱いコーヒーやジュースがこぼれたりすることが防止される。その結果、店員がわざわざ仕切り板１２を収納する等が不要になる。また、店員が仕切り板１２にぶつかって怪我をしたり、こぼれた熱いコーヒーが遊技者にかかってしまったりする等の事故が防止される。 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.

また、遊技者が席を立つ際には、仕切り板１２が柔軟に曲がるため、いちいち仕切り板１２を収納せずに、席を立つことができる。すなわち、席を離れようとする遊技者の体が仕切り板１２に当たっても、仕切り板１２が柔軟に曲がるので、遊技者は強い衝撃を受けたりすることなく、仕切り板１２を体や手で押し曲げながら、そのまま席を立つことができる。また、遊技者が仕切り板１２を収納して席を立つ場合でも、仕切り板１２が薄く軽いので、仕切り板１２を容易に出し入れすることができる。 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.

また、補強部材６１を設けることで前述したように第２仕切り板３０を波状に湾曲させているので、遊技者の左右両側の仕切り板１２が引き出された場合でも、これらの仕切り板１２の間で音が反射を繰り返して反響することが防止される。 Further, since the second partition plate 30 is curved in a wave shape as described above by providing the reinforcing member 61, even when the partition plates 12 on both the left and right sides of the player are pulled out, the space between these partition plates 12 is reduced. This prevents the sound from repeatedly reflecting and reverberating.

図１０に示すように、仮に、左右の仕切り板１２が湾曲のない平らな板の場合には、遊技機等で生じた音が左右の平行な仕切り板１２の間で何度も反射を繰り返すので、遊技者に不快感を与えてしまう。これに対し、本実施の形態の間仕切りユニット１０では、第２仕切り板３０が波状に湾曲しているので、音が乱反射して反射回数が減り、遊技者の不快感を低減させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 10, if the left and right partition plates 12 are flat plates with no curvature, the sound generated by the gaming machine or the like is repeatedly reflected between the left and right parallel partition plates 12. As a result, the player is uncomfortable. On the other hand, in the partition unit 10 of the present embodiment, since the second partition plate 30 is curved in a wave shape, the sound is irregularly reflected, the number of reflections is reduced, and the player's discomfort can be reduced.

特に、補強部材６１を第２仕切り板３０の縦方向の略中央に設けると、その設けられた高さが、遊技者の耳の位置近くになるため、反射音が遊技者の耳元以外に向けて誘導され、遊技者の耳に届く音を低減することができる。 In particular, if the reinforcing member 61 is provided at the approximate center in the vertical direction of the second partition plate 30, the provided height is close to the position of the player's ear, so that the reflected sound is directed to other than the player's ear. Sound that reaches the player's ear can be reduced.

また、仕切り板１２は、ガイドスリット４１、４３、４５、４７とガイドピン４２、４４、４６、４８で支持されているので、音を受けると仕切り板１２が容易に振動し、音の反射率が低減されている。また、熱膨張等によるサイズの変動に対応することができる。 Further, since the partition plate 12 is supported by the guide slits 41, 43, 45, 47 and the guide pins 42, 44, 46, 48, the partition plate 12 easily vibrates when receiving sound, and the sound reflectivity. Has been reduced. Further, it is possible to cope with a variation in size due to thermal expansion or the like.

なお、仮に、第２仕切り板３０の前縁全体を補強すると、第２仕切り板３０が音を受けて振動し難くなり、音の反射率が高くなるが、本実施の形態にかかわる間仕切りユニット１０では、前述したように補強部材６１を第２仕切り板３０の前縁の縦方向の中央部のみに設けているので、振動が補強部材６１によって規制され難く、音の反射率を抑えることができる。 If the entire front edge of the second partition plate 30 is reinforced, the second partition plate 30 is less likely to vibrate due to sound and the sound reflectivity is increased, but the partition unit 10 according to the present embodiment. Then, as described above, since the reinforcing member 61 is provided only in the central portion in the vertical direction of the front edge of the second partition plate 30, vibration is not easily restricted by the reinforcing member 61, and the reflectance of sound can be suppressed. .

また、補強部材６１は、第２仕切り板３０の前縁の縦方向の中央部を第１仕切り板２０から離れないように位置規制する役割も果たしている。すなわち、図１０に示すように、第２仕切り板３０の中央部（補強部材６１が設けられた箇所）は第１仕切り板２０側に押し付けられた状態に維持される。その結果、第２仕切り板３０を収納部１１へ収納する際に、第２仕切り板３０の前縁全体が第１仕切り板２０に沿って進み、円滑に収納部１１へ進入する。なお、図１０では、波状の湾曲を誇張して示してあり、実際には僅かの湾曲のため、湾曲が収納部１１への収納に支障を与えることはない。 In addition, the reinforcing member 61 also serves to restrict the position of the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the front edge of the second partition plate 30 so as not to be separated from the first partition plate 20. That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the central portion of the second partition plate 30 (the place where the reinforcing member 61 is provided) is maintained in a state of being pressed against the first partition plate 20 side. As a result, when the second partition plate 30 is stored in the storage unit 11, the entire front edge of the second partition plate 30 advances along the first partition plate 20 and smoothly enters the storage unit 11. In FIG. 10, the wavy curve is exaggerated, and since the curve is actually a slight curve, the curve does not hinder storage in the storage unit 11.

第２仕切り板３０の前縁は、収納部１１の入口にぶつかることがないので、収納部１１の入口にぶつかる衝撃で、第２仕切り板３０が破損（ひび割れや欠け）することがない。 Since the front edge of the second partition plate 30 does not collide with the entrance of the storage unit 11, the second partition plate 30 is not damaged (cracked or chipped) by an impact that collides with the entrance of the storage unit 11.

また、仕切り板１２を一杯に引き出した状態でも１段目の第１仕切り板２０の前縁全体が収納部１１の中にあり、１段目の第１仕切り板２０の後端部と２段目の第２仕切り板３０の前端部とが縦方向の全体に渡ってオーバーラップしている。そのため、収納部１１と第１仕切り板２０の前縁との間や第１仕切り板２０の後端部と第２仕切り板３０の前端部との間に隙間ができないので、隣の席からのタバコの煙や音を効果的に遮ることができる。 Further, even when the partition plate 12 is fully pulled out, the entire front edge of the first partition plate 20 in the first stage is in the storage portion 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 of the eye overlaps over the entire lengthwise direction. Therefore, since 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 noise.

以上、本発明の実施の形態を図面によって説明してきたが、具体的な構成は実施の形態に示したものに限られるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲における変更や追加があっても本発明に含まれる。 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.

収納部１１は、仕切り板１２を出し入れするための入口を備えた箱状に構成されてもよい。 The storage unit 11 may be configured in a box shape having an inlet for taking in and out the partition plate 12.

実施の形態では、２段に引き出す構成例を示したが、仕切り板１２の段数は任意でよく、１段のみでも、３段以上でもかまわない。 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.

実施の形態では、下支持部１５をガイドスリット４５、４７とガイドピン４６、４８で構成したが、収納部１１の下部と第１仕切り板２０の下部、および第１仕切り板２０の下部とその後段の第２仕切り板３０の下部がそれぞれ仕切り板１２の厚み方向に離れないように位置規制する機能を果たす構成であればよい。たとえば、収納部１１の下部に案内溝を形成し、この案内溝に第１仕切り板２０の下端を嵌めこみ、案内溝に案内されて第１仕切り板２０がスライド移動するといった構成でもよい。第１仕切り板２０と第２仕切り板３０との位置規制についても同様である。 In the embodiment, the lower support portion 15 is configured by the guide slits 45 and 47 and the guide pins 46 and 48. However, the lower portion of the storage portion 11, the lower portion of the first partition plate 20, and the lower portion of the first partition plate 20 and the rear thereof. Any structure may be used as long as the lower part of the second partition plate 30 of the step has a function of regulating the position so as not to be separated in the thickness direction of the partition plate 12. For example, a guide groove may be formed in the lower part of the storage portion 11, the lower end of the first partition plate 20 may be fitted into the guide groove, and the first partition plate 20 may be slid and guided by the guide groove. The same applies to the position restriction between the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30.

仕切り板１２は透明に限定されないが、少なくとも遊技者の手元近くは透明であることが望ましい。また仕切り板１２の厚みや柔軟性は実施の形態で示した例に限定されない。復元可能に曲がるものであれば、縦にしたときに自重で曲がるほど柔軟なものでなくてもかまわない。 The partition plate 12 is not limited to being transparent, but it is desirable that it is transparent at least near the player's hand. The thickness and flexibility of the partition plate 12 are not limited to the examples shown in the embodiment. If it bends so that it can be restored, it does not have to be flexible enough to bend by its own weight when placed vertically.

実施の形態では、補強部材６１を第２仕切り板３０の前縁の縦方向の中央部分にのみ設けたが、２箇所、３箇所に補強部材６１を設けてもよいし、第２仕切り板３０の前縁全体に渡って補強部材６１を設けてもよい。この場合、補強部材６１を波状に湾曲した形状とし、第２仕切り板３０を図１０、図１２と同様に波状に湾曲させることが望ましい。 In the embodiment, the reinforcing member 61 is provided only in the central portion of the front edge of the second partition plate 30 in the vertical direction. However, the reinforcing member 61 may be provided at two or three locations, or the second partition plate 30 may be provided. The reinforcing member 61 may be provided over the entire front edge. In this case, it is desirable that the reinforcing member 61 has a wave-like shape and the second partition plate 30 is wave-like as in FIGS.
