Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a photo sticker creating machine. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, in entertainment facilities such as game arcades, there are known photo sticker creation machines that take an image of a subject, edit the captured image by combining it with a pre-prepared frame image or a handwritten input image, and then print the edited image on sticker paper.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a photo sticker creating machine that includes a photographing housing that encloses a photographing space and an editing housing that is connected to the rear side of the photographing housing. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5268968 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Incidentally, photo sticker creation machines such as those described in Patent Document 1 are typically transported in parts and assembled at the installation site. However, when attempting to transport the components (walls, etc.) that make up the housing, the weight of the components can make transportation difficult. In addition, the components may not be stable during transportation and may tip over. To solve the latter problem, for example, it is possible to attach stabilizing parts to the components to stabilize their orientation during transportation. However, these stabilizing parts may be unnecessary during installation and hinder space saving. Furthermore, if the stabilizing parts are lost, it may be difficult to disassemble the housing and move it again, for example, by changing the installation location.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a photo sticker creating machine that can save space during transportation and installation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A photo sticker creation machine according to one embodiment of the present invention is a photo sticker creation machine having a housing that surrounds an imaging space that a subject (player) can enter and exit, and has a first structure that is attached to a first position on the housing when the housing is installed and contributes to the mechanical strength of the housing, and the first structure is attached to a second position different from the first position when the housing is transported and functions as a moving means for moving at least a part of the housing.

[0008] According to this aspect, the first structure functions as a moving means for moving at least a portion (e.g., a wall portion) of the housing during transportation, thereby making it possible to easily transport at least a portion of the housing during transportation, stabilizing the posture during transportation, and reducing damage due to tipping or the like. Furthermore, the first structure contributes to the mechanical strength of the housing during installation and functions as a moving means during transportation of the housing, so the first structure is not an unnecessary object that takes up extra space during either installation or transportation of the housing. Therefore, space can be saved during transportation and installation. Furthermore, the first structure, which becomes part of the structure of the housing when the housing is installed, is used as a stabilizing part for stabilizing the posture of a disassembled portion of the housing during transportation, so loss of the stabilizing part during installation of the housing can be prevented, and a situation in which loss of the stabilizing part makes it difficult to transport the housing can be avoided.

[0009] In one aspect of the above, the photo sticker creation machine may further include a second structure that is attached to a third position on the housing when the housing is installed and surrounds at least a portion of the first structure, and the second structure may be attached to a fourth position different from the third position when the housing is transported and function as a connecting means for connecting the other structures that make up the housing.

[0010] According to this aspect, by having the second structure surround the first structure when the housing is installed, contamination of the housing and other components caused by dust and other particles that adhered to the first structure while it was functioning as a transport means can be suppressed. Thus, the second structure does not take up unnecessary space as an unnecessary object when the housing is installed. Furthermore, when the housing is transported, the second structure connects the other structures that make up the housing, thereby compacting the other structures and saving space. Therefore, the photo sticker creator can be made more compact when transporting and installing the housing.

[0011] As one aspect of the above, the first position and the third position may be positions on the imaging space side of the housing.

[0012] According to this aspect, when the housing is installed, it is possible to prevent the first structure and the second structure from protruding outside the housing and taking up unnecessary space.

[0013] In one aspect of the above, the photo sticker creating machine may further include an imaging device that captures an image of a subject in an imaging space of the housing, and the first structure may be provided on the opposite side of the imaging space from the imaging device.

[0014] According to this aspect, the first structure is located behind the subject facing the imaging device, and is therefore difficult for the subject to see, making it possible to avoid a situation in which the subject feels oppressed.

[0015] In one aspect of the above, when the housing is transported, at least a portion of the housing is separated from other structures of the housing, and the first structure is attached to a lower end of at least a portion of the housing, and casters may be provided on the first structure.

[0016] According to this aspect, at least a part of the housing (for example, the wall portion) can be easily transported using casters.

[0017] In one aspect of the above, when the housing is installed, the first structure is attached to an upper end portion of at least a part of the housing, and at least a part of the caster is surrounded by the second structure.

[0018] According to this aspect, by surrounding the casters, which are prone to attracting dust such as sand when transporting the housing, with the second structure, scattering of dust from the first structure is suppressed, thereby effectively suppressing contamination of the housing.

[0019] In one aspect of the above, the photo sticker creation machine further includes a display device that displays an image captured by an imaging device that captures an image of a subject in the imaging space of the housing, and an editing device for editing the image displayed on the display device, and the display device and editing device may be provided in the imaging space.

[0020] According to this aspect, the subject (player) does not need to move outside the imaging space to edit the captured image, which improves the convenience of the photo sticker creation machine. [Effects of the Invention]

[0021] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a photo sticker creating machine that can save space during transportation and installation. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0025] <Photo sticker creator when the case is installed>

[0026] First, with reference to Figs. 1 to 3, the configuration of the photo sticker creating machine 1 according to this embodiment when the housing is installed (when the housing 10, which will be described later, is installed in a predetermined location) will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the photo sticker creating machine 1 according to this embodiment when the housing is installed. Fig. 2 is a perspective view partially showing the configuration inside the housing 10 of the photo sticker creating machine 1 shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the front inside the housing 10 of the photo sticker creating machine 1 shown in Fig. 1. Of these, Fig. 2 shows the photo sticker creating machine 1 with the top wall 31 and curtains 39A and 39B, which will be described later, removed to illustrate the imaging space.

[0027] The photo sticker creation machine 1 is a game device that enhances the entertainment value of tasks such as taking photos and editing, provides these tasks to subjects, and receives payment from the subjects. The photo sticker creation machine 1 is usually installed in entertainment facilities such as game arcades.

[0028] The photo sticker creating machine 1 includes a housing 10, a sticker outlet 40, a lighting device 50, an imaging device 60, a display device 70, a first wired device 80, and a second wired device 90.

The entrance 10A is provided on the left side of the housing 10, and the entrance 10B is provided on the right side of the housing 10.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the housing 10 includes a rear wall 11, a first structure 12, a front wall 21, a top wall 31, a bottom wall 32, frames 34, 35, 36, and curtains 39A and 39B. The rear wall 11 is an example of a wall. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the housing 10 also includes second structures 15 and 16. These second structures 15 and 16 will be described in detail later. (Note that in FIG. 1, the curtain 39A is hidden by the top wall 31 and cannot be seen, but it is located on the opposite side of the curtain 39B (the left side of the housing) and functions to partially block the entrance / exit 10A, as will be described later.)

[0031] The rear wall 11 is a wall that separates the imaging space behind the housing 10 from the external space. The rear wall 11 has a main panel 11A and side panels 11B and 11C. The main panel 11A is provided over the entire rear surface of the imaging space. In other words, the main panel 11A is provided over substantially the entire area of ​​the housing 10 in the vertical and horizontal directions. The side panel 11B is provided in a portion of the left side of the imaging space. The side panel 11B extends from the left end of the main panel 11A toward the front wall 21. The side panel 11C is provided in a portion of the right side of the imaging space. The side panel 11C extends from the right end of the main panel 11A toward the front wall 21. The side panels 11B and 11C are provided from the top to the bottom of the housing 10. That is, the side panels 11B and 11C are provided over almost the entire area of ​​the housing 10 in the up-down direction, and are provided on a part of the housing 10 in the front-rear direction.

[0032] The first structure 12 forms the frame of the housing 10 and contributes to the mechanical strength of the housing 10. The first structure 12 is provided along the upper end of the main panel 11A. The first structure 12 is connected to the main panel 11A and connects the side panels 11B and 11C. As will be described later, the first structure 12 also functions as a moving means when transporting the housing.

[0033] The front wall 21 is a wall that separates the front of the imaging space in the housing 10 from the external space. The front wall 21 has a main panel 21A and side panels 21B and 21C. The main panel 21A is provided over the entire front of the imaging space. In other words, the main panel 21A is provided over substantially the entire area of ​​the housing 10 in the vertical and horizontal directions. The side panel 21B is provided in a portion of the left side of the imaging space. The side panel 21B extends from the left end of the main panel 21A toward the rear wall 11. The side panel 21C is provided in a portion of the right side of the imaging space. The side panel 21C extends from the right end of the main panel 21A toward the rear wall 11. The side panels 21B and 21C are provided from the top end to the bottom end of the housing 10. That is, the side panels 21B and 21C are provided over substantially the entire area of ​​the housing 10 in the up-down direction, and are provided on a part of the housing 10 in the front-rear direction.

[0034] The top wall 31 is a wall that separates the upper portion of the imaging space in the housing 10 from the external space. The top wall 31 is provided over the entire upper portion of the imaging space. In other words, the top wall 31 is provided over substantially the entire area of ​​the housing 10 in the left-right and front-rear directions. The top wall 31 corresponds to the ceiling of the housing 10. Note that the top wall 31 may be provided with holes for ventilation, air conditioning, wiring, etc.

[0035] The bottom wall 32 is a wall placed on the floor of the location (such as an entertainment facility) where the photo sticker creating machine 1 is installed. The bottom wall 32 is provided in a lower part of the imaging space, in the area where the subject steps. In other words, the bottom wall 32 is provided over almost the entire left-right area of ​​the housing 10 and a part of the front-to-rear direction. The bottom wall 32 corresponds to the floor of the housing 10. The bottom wall 32 is, for example, a floor mat. The bottom wall 32 may be omitted.

[0036] The frames 34, 35, and 36 contribute to the mechanical strength of the housing 10. The frame 34 is provided on the imaging space side of the top wall 31. The frame 34 extends in the left-right direction and connects the frames 35 and 36. The frame 35 extends in the front-rear direction and connects the upper end of the side panel 11B of the rear wall 11 to the upper end of the side panel 21B of the front wall 21. The area surrounded by the side panels 11B, 21B, and the frame 35 forms an entrance / exit 10A. The frame 36 extends in the front-rear direction and connects the upper end of the side panel 11C of the rear wall 11 to the upper end of the side panel 21C of the front wall 21. The area surrounded by the side panels 11C, 21C, and the frame 36 forms an entrance / exit 10B.

[0037] Curtain 39A is installed at entrance 10A, and curtain 39B is installed at entrance 10B. Curtains 39A and 39B block external light, thereby suppressing fluctuations in imaging conditions due to external light. As a result, curtains 39A and 39B suppress fluctuations and deterioration in the quality of captured images. Curtains 39A and 39B also block views from outside through entrances 10A and 10B, enhancing the sense of immersion in capturing images of the subject.

[0038] The sticker outlet 40 ejects a photo sticker printed with a captured and edited photo. The subject removes the photo sticker from the sticker outlet 40. The sticker outlet 40 is provided on the imaging space side of the front wall 21. The sticker outlet 40 is located, for example, behind the main panel 21A and to the left of the lighting device 50, but is not limited to this. The sticker outlet 40 may be located, for example, to the right of the lighting device 50, or to the left or right of the display device 70. The sticker outlet 40 may be located to the right of the side panel 21B or to the left of the side panel 21C.

[0039] The lighting device 50 emits a strobe light in synchronization with imaging, illuminating a subject in the imaging space of the housing 10. As shown in Fig. 3, the lighting device 50 is provided on the imaging space side of the main panel 21A of the front wall 21. For example, one lighting device 50 is provided, but two or more lighting devices may be provided.

[0040] The imaging device 60 captures an image of a subject in the imaging space of the housing 10. As shown in Fig. 3, the imaging device 60 is provided on the imaging space side of the main panel 21A of the front wall portion 21. The imaging device 60 is provided above the lighting device 50, for example.

[0041] The display device 70 displays the captured image captured by the imaging device 60. For example, the display device 70 is a touch panel display. In this case, the display device 70 accepts input from the subject (player). For example, the display device 70 may accept editing of the captured image and display the edited captured image. The display device 70 may also display operating instructions and precautions for the photo sticker creation machine 1.

[0042] The first wired device 80 is an input device that provides a subject with an input means for the display device 70, and is an example of an editing device that edits captured images displayed on the display device 70. The first wired device 80 is connected to the display device 70 by wire. This reduces the risk of the first wired device 80 being lost. The first wired device 80 has a touch pen that inputs to the display device 70. The touch pen of the first wired device 80 is, for example, detachably arranged next to the display device 70. From the perspective of ensuring convenience for both subjects located on the right and left sides when multiple subjects use the display device simultaneously, and from the perspective of ensuring convenience for both right-handed and left-handed subjects, the first wired device 80 includes a left wired device 80A with a touch pen that is arranged on the left side of the display device 70, and a right wired device 80B with a touch pen that is arranged on the right side of the display device 70.

[0043] The second wired device 90 is an input device that provides the subject with an input means to the imaging device 60. The second wired device 90 is connected to the imaging device 60 by wire. This reduces the risk of the second wired device 90 being lost. The second wired device 90 has a release that instructs the imaging device 60 when to capture an image. The release of the second wired device 90 is detachably arranged, for example, on the right side of the display device 70. The release of the second wired device 90 may be arranged on the left side of the display device 70, or may be arranged on both the left and right sides of the display device 70.

[0044] <First structure and second structure>

[0045] Next, the configuration and arrangement of the first structure 12 and the second structures 15, 16 when the housing is installed will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the upper rear part of the housing 10 of the photo sticker creating machine 1 shown in Figure 1. Figure 5 is a perspective view of the first structure 12 and the second structures 15, 16 when the housing of the photo sticker creating machine 1 shown in Figure 1 is installed.

[0046] When the housing is installed, the first structure 12 is attached at position P1. Position P1 is an example of the first position. Position P1 is a position on the imaging space side of the upper end of the main panel 11A of the rear wall 11. At position P1, the first structure 12 extends in the left-right direction. The first structure 12 has a caster 13 provided at its left end and a caster 14 provided at its right end. However, position P1 is not limited to this and may be set appropriately at a position where mechanical strength needs to be ensured. Therefore, position P1 may be, for example, the imaging space side of the lower end of the main panel 11A, or the imaging space side of a portion midway between the upper and lower ends of the main panel 11A. Position P1 may also be located away from the main panel 11. For example, position P1 may be a position connecting side panels 11B and 11C between the main panel 11A of the rear wall 11 and the frame 34. Furthermore, the position P1 may be, for example, a position between the frame 34 and the front wall portion 21, which connects the frame 35 and the frame 36.

[0047] When the housing is installed, the first structure 12 is connected to the frame 35 by the second structure 15 and to the frame 36 by the second structure 16. The second structure 15 is attached at position P31, and the second structure 16 is attached at position P32. Position P31 is the rear end of the frame 35 and the left end of the first structure 12. Position P32 is the rear end of the frame 36 and the right end of the first structure 12. Positions P31 and P32 are positions on the imaging space side. The second structure 15 covers at least the subject side of the caster 13 (the imaging space side of the caster 13 and the side below the caster 13). The second structure 16 covers at least the subject side of the caster 14 (the imaging space side of the caster 14 and the side below the caster 14). As a result, when dust such as sand adhering to the casters 13 and 14 falls off, the second structures 15 and 16 prevent the dust from scattering toward the subject side. Moreover, by hiding the casters 13, 14 with the second structure 15, it is possible to prevent the subject (player) from feeling uncomfortable that the casters 13, 14 are attached to the upper side of the housing 10. Positions P31 and P32 are examples of the third position.

[0048] <Photo sticker creation machine during transport>

[0049] Next, the configuration of the photo sticker creating machine 1 when the housing is being transported (when the housing 10 is disassembled and transported) will be described with reference to Figs. 6 to 9. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the first structure 12 and the second structure 16 when being relocated. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the rear wall 11 to which the first structure 12 is attached when the housing of the photo sticker creating machine 1 according to this embodiment is being transported. Figs. 8 and 9 are perspective views of a transport block 19, which will be described later.

[0050] The housing 10 of the photo sticker creator 1 is bulky due to the imaging space inside. For this reason, when transporting the housing 10, the housing 10 is disassembled for efficient transportation. For example, the frames 35, 36 are removed from the rear wall 11 and the front wall 21, and the rear wall 11 and the front wall 21 are separated from each other.

[0051] 6, the second structure 16 is removed from the first structure 12 and the frame 36 and disassembled into parts 16A and 16B. Although not shown in the figures, the second structure 15 is similarly removed from the first structure 12 and the frame 35 and disassembled into parts 15A and 15B.

[0052] As shown in Figure 7, the first structure 12 from which the second structures 15 and 16 have been removed is moved from position P1 to position P2. Position P2 is the lower end of the main panel 11A of the rear wall 11, on the opposite side from the side where the side panels 11B and 11C are provided. Position P2 is an example of the second position.

[0053] The first structure 12, which is attached at position P2 different from position P1, functions as a means for moving the rear wall 11 by means of casters 13, 14. In addition to the casters 13, 14, the means for moving the rear wall 11 also includes casters (not shown) provided at the lower ends of the side panels 11B, 11C. The casters provided at the lower ends of the side panels 11B, 11C prevent the rear wall 11 from tipping toward the side panels 11B, 11C, and the casters 13, 14 of the first structure 12 prevent the rear wall 11 from tipping toward the first structure 12.

[0054] 8 and 9, when the housing is transported, frames 34, 35, 36, etc. are attached to the rear wall 11 to form a transport block 19. The transport block 19 is formed by connecting multiple structures that make up the housing 10 in an arrangement different from when the housing is installed, and rearranging them into a configuration suitable for transportation.

[0055] When the housing is transported, part 15A of second structure 15 is attached to the lower end of the connection between main panel 11A and side panel 11B. Part 16A of second structure 16 is attached to the lower end of the connection between main panel 11A and side panel 11C. Part 15B of second structure 15 is attached at position P41 and functions as a connecting means connecting rear wall 11 to frames 35, 36. Part 16B of second structure 16 is attached at position P42 and functions as a connecting means connecting rear wall 11 to frames 35, 36. Position P41 is the end of side panel 11B opposite to the side connected to main panel 11A. Position P42 is the end of side panel 11C opposite to the side connected to main panel 11A. Positions P41 and P42 are examples of the fourth position.

[0056] <Action and effect>

[0057] In the embodiment described above, the photo sticker creating machine 1 includes a first structure 12 that is attached to position P1 of the housing 10 when the housing is installed and contributes to the mechanical strength of the housing 10. When the housing is transported, the first structure 12 is attached to position P2, which is different from position P1, and functions as a moving means for moving the rear wall 11 of the housing 10. With this configuration, the first structure 12 functions as a moving means for moving the rear wall 11 of the housing 10 when the housing is transported, making it easier to transport the rear wall 11 during transportation, stabilizing the posture during transportation, and reducing damage caused by tipping, etc. Furthermore, because the first structure 12 contributes to the mechanical strength of the housing 10 when the housing is installed and functions as a moving means when the housing is transported, the first structure 12 does not take up unnecessary space either when the housing is installed or when the housing is transported. This allows for space savings during transportation and installation. Furthermore, the first structure 12, which becomes part of the structure of the housing 10 when the housing is installed, is used as a stabilizing part for stabilizing the posture of a part of the disassembled housing 10 during transportation, so that it is possible to avoid loss of the stabilizing part during installation of the housing, and to avoid a situation in which transportation of the housing becomes difficult due to loss of the stabilizing part.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the photo sticker creator 1 further includes second structures 15 and 16. The second structures 15 and 16 are attached to positions P31 and P32 on the housing 10 during installation and surround the casters 13 and 14 of the first structure 12. The parts 15B and 16B of the second structures 15 and 16 are attached to positions P41 and P42, different from positions P31 and P32, during transportation of the housing, and function as connecting means for connecting the rear wall 11 and the frames 35 and 36. This configuration allows the second structures 15 and 16 to surround the first structure 12 during installation, thereby preventing contamination of the housing 10 due to dust and other particles scattered from the first structure 12 while the housing is functioning as a transport means. Thus, the second structures 15 and 16 do not take up unnecessary space during installation. Furthermore, the second structures 15 and 16 connect the rear wall 11 and the frames 35 and 36 that make up the housing 10 when the housing is being transported, thereby consolidating them into a compact unit and saving space. Therefore, the photo sticker creating machine 1 can be made more space-saving when the housing is being transported and when the housing is being set up.

[0059] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, since position P1 and positions P31 and P32 are positions on the imaging space side of the housing 10, it is possible to prevent the first structure 12 and the second structures 15 and 16 from protruding outside the housing 10 and taking up unnecessary space when the housing is installed.

[0060] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, since the first structure 12 is provided on the opposite side of the imaging space from the imaging device 60, the first structure 12 is located behind the subject facing the imaging device 60, making it difficult for the subject to see the first structure 12, thereby avoiding a situation in which the subject feels oppressed.

[0061] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the housing is transported, the rear wall 11 is separated from the front wall 21, the structure 12 is attached to the lower end of the rear wall 11, and the first structure 12 is provided with casters 13, 14, so that the rear wall 11 of the housing 10 can be easily transported by the casters 13, 14.

[0062] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when the housing is installed, the first structure 12 is attached to the upper end of the main panel 11A of the rear wall portion 10 of the housing 10, and at least a portion of the casters 13, 14 are surrounded by the second structures 15, 16. Therefore, by surrounding the casters 13, 14, which are prone to attracting dust such as sand when the housing is transported, with the second structures 15, 16, scattering of dust from the first structure 12 is suppressed, thereby effectively suppressing contamination of the housing 10.

[0063] Moreover, the photo sticker creating machine 1 in the above embodiment further includes a display device 70 that displays an image captured by an imaging device 60 that captures an image of a subject in the imaging space of the housing 10, and a first wired device 80 (editing device) for editing the image displayed on the display device 70, and the display device 70 and the first wired device 80 are provided in the imaging space. With this configuration, the subject does not need to move outside the imaging space to edit the captured image, thereby improving the convenience of the photo sticker creating machine 1.

[0064] Furthermore, the photo sticker creating machine 1 in this embodiment further includes a sticker outlet 40, which is provided in the imaging space. With this configuration, the subject does not need to move outside the imaging space to obtain the photo sticker, improving the convenience of the photo sticker creating machine 1.

[0065] The position where first structure 12 is attached when the housing is installed and when the housing is transported is not limited to rear wall 11. First structure 12 may be attached to another structure such as front wall 21. Furthermore, first structure 12 may be attached to different structures when the housing is installed and when the housing is transported.
