Description

Article arrangement structure

[0001] The present invention relates to an item placement structure that is provided in an item capture game device that includes an item storage section in which items are stored, and an item capture section that is movably arranged within the item storage section and can capture the items, and in which the items are placed within the item storage section.

[0002] Conventionally, there has been known an item acquisition game device in which a player acquires items by operating an item acquisition unit within an item storage unit in which the items are stored. In such an item acquisition game device, an item placement structure (e.g., a stage, etc.) is constructed at a desired height and position within the item storage unit, and items are placed on this item placement structure.

[0003] An example of an item placement structure for such an item capture game device has been proposed, which includes a frame body that is detachably supported on a support portion, and an item placement member that is detachably attached to the frame body and on which items are placed, wherein the frame body has a first engagement portion formed at a first end and a second engagement portion formed at a second end opposite the first end, the support portion having a first support member having a first engaged portion that detachably engages with the first engaging portion, and a second support member having a plurality of second engaged portions that detachably engage with the second engaging portion, formed at intervals from each other in the vertical direction, the first engaged portion having a plurality of locking portions that are arranged at intervals from each other in a direction approaching the second support member, and the engagement position of the first engaging portion is determined by locking the first engaging portion with one of the plurality of locking portions depending on the second engaged portion with which the second engaging portion engages (see Patent Document 1).

[0004] Patent No. 5212922

[0005] However, in the technology of Patent Document 1, the height and position of the item placement member are determined by which engagement part of the frame body the support part engages with, but because the engagement part is formed at only one end of the frame body, the position in which the item placement member can be placed is also limited to the one direction in which the engagement part is formed.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and has an object to improve the degree of freedom in the positions in which items can be placed in the item storage section of an item capture game device.

[0007] (1) An item placement structure provided in an item capture game device having an item storage section in which items are stored, and an item capture section that is movably arranged within the item storage section and can capture the items, in which the items are placed within the item storage section, the item placement structure comprising: a support pillar extending in the vertical direction and having multiple faces; and a support section whose end is detachably connected to the support pillar, extending in a different direction from the support pillar, and supporting the items within the item storage section, wherein the support pillar has multiple faces, a first face facing the front and / or back in the depth direction of the item storage section, and a second face facing the left and / or right in the width direction of the item storage section, and the first face and the second face each have multiple connection sections to which the end of the support section is detachably connected.

[0008] In the configuration (1), the item placement structure is provided in an item capture game device that includes an item storage section in which items are stored, and an item capture section that is movably disposed within the item storage section and is capable of capturing items. The item placement structure includes a support column and a support section, and items are placed within the item storage section. The support column extends in the vertical direction and has multiple surfaces. An end of the support section is detachably connected to the support column, extends in a direction different from the support column, and supports the items within the item storage section. The support column has multiple surfaces, including a first surface facing the front and / or back in the depth direction of the item storage section, and a second surface facing the left and / or right in the width direction of the item storage section. The first surface and the second surface each have multiple connection sections to which the end of the support section is detachably connected.

[0009] According to the configuration (1), the connection portion of the support pillar to which the support portion that supports the item is connected is formed on both a first surface facing the front and / or back in the depth direction of the item storage section, and a second surface facing the left and / or right in the width direction of the item storage section.

[0010] As a result, the support part that supports the item can be connected to the connection part on the first surface of the support post to place the item, or to the connection part on the second surface of the support post to place the item. Therefore, compared to when there are connection parts only on either the first surface or the second surface of the support post and the support part can only be placed in one direction, with configuration (1), since connection parts are formed on both the first surface and the second surface of the support post, the support part can be placed in two axial directions. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the position where the item can be placed can be improved in the item storage part of the item capture game device.

[0011] (2) The item arrangement structure described in (1) further comprises an auxiliary support part formed in a rod shape, only one end of which is detachably connected to the connection part, extending in a direction perpendicular to the surface, and fixed to the support column in a cantilevered manner, wherein the support part is attached to the support column via the auxiliary support part.

[0012] According to the configuration (2), the support unit can be attached to the support post via the rod-shaped auxiliary support unit. This allows the attachment position of the support unit to be adjusted in the direction in which the auxiliary support unit extends, compared to when the support unit is directly attached to the support post. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the placement of items in the item storage unit of the item capture game device can be further improved.

[0013] Furthermore, according to the configuration (2), only one end of the auxiliary support part is cantilevered and fixed to the support pillar. Therefore, for example, the administrator of the item acquisition game device can hold the other end of the auxiliary support part and attach and detach it to and from the support pillar using only one end of the auxiliary support part. Therefore, when changing the height at which the item is placed, for example, the attachment position of the auxiliary support part can be easily changed.

[0014] Here, in an item acquisition game device, if the item placement structure for placing items is unstable, the prize acquisition rate will become unstable due to shaking, etc. According to the configuration of (2), by fixing the auxiliary support part to the support column and fixing the support part to this auxiliary support part, the rigidity of the entire item placement structure can be improved.

[0015] (3) The article arrangement structure described in (2) is characterized in that the support part comprises a rod-shaped shaft part and engagement parts provided at both ends of the shaft part and detachably engaging with the shaft part of another support part, and the engagement parts also detachably engage with the auxiliary support part.

[0016] According to the configuration of (3), the support parts are detachably engaged with the shaft parts of other support parts by the engaging parts provided on both ends of the shaft parts, and are also detachably engaged with the auxiliary support parts. As a result, when assembling the support parts in a grid shape consisting of vertical shafts extending in the front-to-rear direction and horizontal shafts extending in the left-to-right direction, for example, the engaging parts of the support parts that form the vertical shafts are first engaged with the auxiliary support parts connected to the desired height of the support posts, and then the engaging parts of the support parts that form the horizontal shafts are engaged with the shaft parts of the support parts that form the vertical shafts, thereby making it possible to place an item at a desired position and height within the item storage part.

[0017] In this way, the vertical axis that engages with the auxiliary support part connected to the support pillar and the horizontal axis that engages with the vertical axis can be assembled in a crisscross shape at the desired position using a support part of a common shape, without each being a different shaped component.This means that, for example, the efficiency of an administrator of an item capture game device can be improved when changing the placement position of items.

[0018] (4) The article arrangement structure described in (1) or (2) is characterized in that the support pillar comprises a core portion extending in the vertical direction and an exterior portion that is detachably fixed to the core portion and forms a plurality of the surfaces, and the exterior portion is divided.

[0019] Here, the multiple connection parts formed on the surface of the support pole may be partially damaged (for example, if the connection parts are made of screw holes, the threads of the screw holes may be crushed, etc.) In such cases, it has traditionally been necessary to replace the entire support pole, which has led to a rise in the maintenance costs of the item capture game device.

[0020] According to the configuration of (4), the support pole is detachably fixed to the core and has an exterior part that forms multiple surfaces, which allows the exterior part to be partially replaced. As a result, if one of the multiple connections is damaged, only the exterior part with the damaged connection needs to be replaced, which reduces the maintenance costs of the item capture game device.

[0021] (5) The item arrangement structure described in claim 1 further comprises a floor panel having a frame body formed in a quadrangular shape in a plan view, and a loading plate fixed to the frame body and on whose upper surface the item is placed, the floor panel being placed on the support portion and detachably fixed to the support portion, wherein the floor panel can be connected to another floor panel by a fixing member, a connecting portion into which the fixing member can be inserted is formed on an edge of the frame body, the fixing member has a neck portion formed in a male screw shape, and the connecting portion has a threaded portion formed in a female screw shape that screws into the neck portion, and a hole portion through which the neck portion passes loosely, the threaded portion of one edge is formed at a position corresponding to the hole portion of the edge opposite to the one edge, and the hole portion of one edge is formed at a position corresponding to the threaded portion of the edge opposite to the one edge.

[0022] In the configuration (5), the item placement structure further includes a floor panel. The floor panel has a frame body and a mounting plate, and is detachably fixed to the support portion. The frame body is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view. The mounting plate is fixed to the frame body, and an item is placed on the upper surface. The floor panel can be connected to other floor panels by a fixing member, and a connecting portion is formed on an edge of the frame body, into which a fixing member having a neck formed in a male screw shape can be inserted. The connecting portion has a threaded portion formed in a female screw shape that screws into the neck, and a hole portion through which the neck portion passes loosely. The threaded portion on one edge is formed at a position corresponding to the hole portion on the edge opposite the one edge. The hole portion on one edge is formed at a position corresponding to the threaded portion on the edge opposite the one edge.

[0023] According to the configuration of (5), the floor panel that is detachably fixed to the support portion and on which an item is placed can be connected to another floor panel using a fixing member. Here, when two floor panels are connected side by side in the same orientation, one side of one floor panel is adjacent to the side opposite the other side of the other floor panel. When connecting two such floor panels, depending on the positions of the floor panels, it may be easier to insert the neck of the fixing member from the side of one floor panel or from the side of the other floor panel.

[0024] According to the configuration of (5), the screw portion on one side is formed at a position corresponding to the hole portion on the side opposite the one side, and the hole portion on one side is formed at a position corresponding to the screw portion on the side opposite the one side. As a result, when two floor panels are connected side by side in the same orientation, the neck portion of the fixing member can be inserted from either floor panel side to connect the two floor panels to each other, which can improve the work efficiency of, for example, an administrator of an item capture game device when changing the placement position of items.

[0025] According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in the positions at which items can be placed in the item storage section of an item capture game device.

[0027] The present invention will be described in more detail below using preferred embodiments. However, the following embodiments are merely examples of realizing the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. [Configuration of Item Arrangement Structure] The configuration of an item arrangement structure in one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating an item arrangement structure in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] The item capture game device on which the item placement structure 1 is provided comprises a base 2 that is placed on the floor and serves as a base, an item storage section 3 that is placed on the base 2 and stores items, and an item capture section (not shown) that can capture items. Figure 1 shows the structural members of the base 2 and the item storage section 3, and omits the front panel, right panel, top plate, etc. of the item storage section 3 to make it easier to understand the item placement structure 1.

[0029] In the item capture game device, for example, based on the player's operation of an operating unit (not shown) such as a switch provided on the base 2, the control unit (not shown) controls the item capture unit to move left and right and front and rear, then move the item capture unit downward, clamp an item placed on the item placement structure 1 between a pair of arms of the item capture unit, move the item over a drop hole provided on the base 2, and then open the pair of arms to drop the item into the drop hole, thereby discharging the item to the outside. In this way, the player can capture the item placed on the item placement structure 1.

[0030] The item placement structure 1 is provided within the item storage section 3 of such an item capture game device, and comprises a support 10, a support section 20, an auxiliary support section 30 (see Figure 4), and a floor panel 40, on which items are placed.

[0031] The support columns 10 are axial members extending in the vertical direction, and include a rear support column 11 disposed on the rear side and a front support column 12 disposed on the front side. In this embodiment, the support columns 10 are provided only at the rear end and the front end of the item storage section 3, but this is not limiting and the support columns 10 may be provided at an intermediate position between the rear end and the front end.

[0032] 2 and 3 are diagrams illustrating the support columns in an item arrangement structure according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rear support columns 11 as viewed from inside the item storage section 3. The rear support columns 11 are arranged at predetermined intervals on the rear side of the base 2, and each include a core portion 111 extending in the vertical direction and having its lower end fixed to the base 2, and an exterior portion 112 detachably fixed to the core portion. The exterior portion 112 of the rear support columns 11 provided at the left and right ends of the item storage section 3 has a substantially L-shaped horizontal cross section and is formed of a plate material extending in the vertical direction. The exterior portion 112 of the rear support columns 11 provided at the left and right ends of the item storage section 3 has a substantially U-shaped horizontal cross section and is formed of a plate material extending in the vertical direction.

[0033] The exterior part 112 is divided into a plurality of parts 1121 in the direction in which the core part 111 extends, and each part 1121 is detachably fixed to the core part 111 .

[0034] 3 is a perspective view of the front support column 12 as viewed from inside the item storage section 3 (see FIG. 1). The front support column 12 is disposed on the front side of the base 2, and its lower end is detachably fixed to the base 2. The upper end of the front support column 12 is disposed at a midpoint in the height direction of the item storage section 3. It is desirable that the position of the upper end of the front support column 12 (height from the lower end of the item storage section 3) be adjustable by changing the length by which the lower end is inserted into the base 2, depending on the installation height of the floor panel 40 (see FIG. 1).

[0035] 4 is a diagram showing the connection portions of the support column, the support portion, and the auxiliary support portion in an item arrangement structure according to one embodiment of the present invention. The support column 10 has a plurality of surfaces, namely, a first surface 10a facing the front and / or rear direction in the depth direction of the item storage section 3, and a second surface 10b facing the left and / or right direction in the width direction of the item storage section 3.

[0036] A plurality of connection portions 13 are formed on each of the first surface 10a and the second surface 10b to which the end portions of the support portion 20 are detachably connected. More specifically, the plurality of connection portions 13 are screw holes arranged in the vertical direction at predetermined intervals (e.g., 25 mm pitch) on each of the first surface 10a and the second surface 10b. The plurality of connection portions 13 may also be formed in multiple rows (two rows in the example shown in FIG. 4) extending in the vertical direction on each of the first surface 10a and the second surface 10b (first surface 10a in the example shown in FIG. 4).

[0037] The support part 20 has its end detachably connected to the support pillar 10 via the auxiliary support part 30, and extends in a direction different from the support pillar 10 which extends vertically (in the example shown in Figure 4, the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction), and supports items within the item storage part 3 (see Figure 1).

[0038] 5 is a diagram illustrating a support section in an item arrangement structure according to one embodiment of the present invention. The support section 20 includes a rod-shaped shaft section 21 and an engagement section 22 that detachably engages with the shaft section of another support section. The engagement section 22 also detachably engages with an auxiliary support section 30 (see FIG. 4).

[0039] The engagement portion 22 includes, for example, a hook portion 221, a plunger 222, and a fixing member 223. The hook portion 221 is formed in a substantially U-shape and has a groove 221a whose inner diameter is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the shaft portion 21 and the auxiliary support portion 30. The plunger 222 is attached to the hook portion 221 and is disposed in an open position of the groove 221a of the hook portion 221 (opposite the bottom of the groove), and is slidable toward the bottom of the groove 221a. The fixing member 223 is formed, for example, by a bolt, and is operated by an operator to push the plunger 222 toward the bottom of the groove of the hook portion 221.

[0040] Returning to Figure 4, the auxiliary support part 30 is provided with a rod-shaped shaft member 31, only one end of which is detachably connected to the connection part 13 of the support column 10. Specifically, the shaft member 31 has a thread formed at one end which screws into the connection part 13 (threaded hole), and a screw hole formed at the other end which can screw into the thread on the one end. In other words, multiple shaft members 31 can be connected by screwing the thread on one end of another shaft member 31 into the screw hole on the other end.

[0041] Furthermore, one end of the shaft member 31 is connected to the connection portion 13 of the support 10, and the other end extends in a direction perpendicular to the surface and is fixed to the support 10 in a cantilever manner. Specifically, when one end of the shaft member 31 is connected to the first surface 10a facing the front-to-rear direction, the shaft member 31 extends in the left-to-right direction. When one end of the shaft member 31 is connected to the second surface 10b facing the left-to-right direction, the shaft member 31 extends in the front-to-rear direction.

[0042] With this configuration, the support part 20 can be arranged along the front-to-rear direction when the engaging part 22 is connected to the shaft member 31 connected to the second surface 10b of the support column 10, as shown in Fig. 4. Furthermore, when the engaging part 22 is connected to the shaft member 31 connected to the first surface 10a of the support column 10, the support part 20 can be arranged along the left-to-right direction. Furthermore, when the engaging part 22 is connected to the shaft part 21 of another support part 20 arranged along the front-to-rear direction, as shown in Fig. 4, the support part 20 can be arranged along the left-to-right direction.

[0043] 6 is a diagram illustrating a reinforcing member in an item arrangement structure according to one embodiment of the present invention. The auxiliary support section 30 may further include a reinforcing member 32 that supports the shaft member 31 connected to the support column 10 from below.

[0044] The reinforcing member 32 includes a base portion 321 that can be detachably fixed to the surface of the support 10 with a fixing member (for example, a bolt), and an arm portion 322 that extends diagonally upward from the base portion 321 and can engage with the shaft member 31, supporting the shaft member 31 from below. The reinforcing member 32 engages the arm portion 322 with the shaft member 31 connected to the support 10 (in the example shown in FIG. 6 , the shaft member 31 is inserted into a hole formed on the upper end side of the arm portion 322), and fixes the base portion 321 to the surface of the support 10 below the shaft member 31. This makes it possible to improve strength against downward deflection due to a load applied to the shaft member 31.

[0045] Returning to Figure 1, floor panel 40 has a frame body 41 formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view, and a plate-shaped mounting plate 42 fixed to frame body 41, on whose upper surface an item is placed, and is placed on support part 20 and detachably fixed to support part 20. Note that in the example shown in Figure 1, floor panel 40 is formed in a square shape in a plan view (e.g., 250 mm x 250 mm), but is not limited to this and can be formed in any size, such as a rectangular shape (e.g., 250 mm x 125 mm).

[0046] Fig. 7 is a diagram illustrating a floor panel in an item arrangement structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the installation of a floor panel in an item arrangement structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] As shown in Fig. 7 , the frame 41 has four sides 411, and each side 411 is formed with a connecting portion 412 into which a fixing member can be inserted. The fixing member is, for example, a screw or a bolt having a neck formed in a male thread shape. In the example shown in Fig. 7 , two connecting portions 412 are provided on each of the four sides 411 of the frame 41, but this is not limitative and any number of connecting portions 412 may be provided at any positions.

[0048] The connecting portion 412 has a threaded portion 412a formed in a female thread shape that screws into the neck portion of the fixing member, and a hole portion 412b through which the neck portion of the fixing member passes loosely. The threaded portion 412a of one side 411 is formed at a position corresponding to the hole portion 412b of the side 411 opposite to the one side 411. The hole portion 412b of one side is formed at a position corresponding to (e.g., facing) the threaded portion 412a of the side 411 opposite to the one side 411.

[0049] When connecting multiple floor panels 40 with the above configuration, a certain side 411 (for example, the right) of one floor panel 40 is abutted against a certain side (for example, the left) 411 of the other floor panel 40, the connecting portions 412 of these floor panels 40 are aligned, and, for example, the neck of a fixing member is inserted into the hole 412b from the inside of one floor panel 40 and screwed into the threaded portion 412a of the other floor panel 40. In this way, the floor panel 40 is connected to another floor panel 40, as shown in FIG.

[0050] Returning to FIG. 7 , an engagement portion 43 that engages with the shaft portion 21 (see FIG. 4 ) of the support portion 20 is connected to the underside of the frame body 41. The engagement portion 43 is formed, for example, of a pair of elastically deformable elastic members 431 whose base end is fixed to the underside of the frame body 41. As a result, by pressing the shaft portion 21 between the pair of elastic members 431 from the tip side of the engagement portion 43, the pair of elastic members 431 elastically deform in directions away from each other from their tip sides, and the shaft portion 21 is inserted between the pair of elastic members 431, and the pair of elastic members 431 clamp the shaft portion 21, thereby fixing the floor panel 40 to the support portion 20.

[0051] 9 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the installation of floor panels in an item placement structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. The modified example shown in FIG. 9 differs from the example shown in FIG. 8 mainly in that floor panel 40 is supported by a cantilever structure.

[0052] In the modified example shown in Figure 9, a large stage 400 with three floor panels 40 connected to it is arranged on the rear side, and a small stage 410 with one floor panel 40 and a short floor panel 40' that is narrower than the floor panel 40 connected to it is arranged on the front side.

[0053] 9, the front side of the large stage 400 is fixed to a support part 20 whose right end is connected to an auxiliary support part 30 located on the right end side. In this example, the auxiliary support part 30 is formed by connecting a plurality of shaft members 31, which extend to the vicinity of the front end of the large stage 400, and these shaft members 31 are supported from below by reinforcing members 32. This makes it possible to omit the support part 20 extending in the front-to-rear direction at least on the right side of the large stage 400, thereby improving the degree of freedom in the stage layout.

[0054] In the modified example shown in FIG. 9 , the right side of the small stage 410 is supported by a U-shaped shaft 210 connected to a support 20 extending in the front-to-rear direction on the lower left side of the small stage 410. The U-shaped shaft 210 is a rod-shaped member formed in a U-shape, and shafts extending perpendicular to the support are connected to both ends of the support to which the floor panel 40 is connected. The shafts of the U-shaped shaft 210 are connected to the support 20 extending in the front-to-rear direction by a connecting member 220 (e.g., a cross clamp) that connects the two shafts perpendicular to each other. This makes it possible to omit the support 20 extending in the front-to-rear direction at least on the right side of the small stage 410, thereby improving the flexibility of the stage layout.

[0055] According to the item arrangement structure 1 of this embodiment described above, the connection portion 13 of the support 10 to which the support portion 20 that supports the items is connected is formed on both the first surface 10a facing the front and / or back in the depth direction of the item storage section 3, and the second surface 10b facing the left and / or right in the width direction of the item storage section 3.

[0056] As a result, the support portion 20 that supports the item can be connected to the connection portion 13 on the first surface 10a of the support 10 to place the item, or the support portion 20 can be connected to the connection portion 13 on the second surface 10b of the support 10 to place the item. Therefore, compared to a case where the connection portion 13 is only provided on either the first surface 10a or the second surface 10b of the support 10 and the support portion 20 can only be placed in one direction, the configuration of the item placement structure 1 has connection portions formed on both the first surface 10a and the second surface 10b of the support 10, so the support portion 20 can be placed in each of two axial directions. This improves the degree of freedom in the positions at which items can be placed in the item storage portion of the item capture game device.

[0057] Furthermore, according to the item placement structure 1, the support part 20 can be attached to the support pole 10 via the rod-shaped auxiliary support part 30. This makes it possible to adjust the attachment position of the support part 20 in the direction in which the auxiliary support part 30 extends, compared to when the support part 20 is attached directly to the support pole 10. This therefore further improves the degree of freedom in the positions in which items can be placed in the item storage part of the item capture game device.

[0058] Furthermore, according to the article arrangement structure 1, the support parts 20 detachably engage with the shaft parts 21 of other support parts 20 by the engagement parts 22 provided on both ends of the shaft parts 21, and also detachably engage with the auxiliary support parts 30. As a result, when assembling the support parts 20 in, for example, a grid shape consisting of vertical axes extending in the front-to-rear direction and horizontal axes extending in the left-to-right direction, the engagement parts 22 of the support parts 20 that form the vertical axes are first engaged with the auxiliary support parts 30 connected to the support posts 10 at a desired height, and then the engagement parts 22 of the support parts 20 that form the horizontal axes are engaged with the shaft parts 21 of the support parts 20 that form the vertical axes, thereby allowing the article to be arranged at a desired position and height within the article storage part 3.

[0059] In this way, the vertical axis that engages with the auxiliary support part 30 connected to the support pillar 10 and the horizontal axis that engages with the vertical axis can be assembled in a crisscross shape at the desired position using the support part 20 of a common shape, without each being a different shaped component.This means that, for example, the administrator of an item capture game device can improve the work efficiency when changing the placement position of items.

[0060] Furthermore, according to the item arrangement structure 1, by fixing the auxiliary support portion 30 to the support column 10 and then fixing the support portion 20 to this auxiliary support portion 30, the rigidity of the entire item arrangement structure 1 can be improved.

[0061] Furthermore, according to the item placement structure 1, the support 10 has an exterior part 112 that is detachably fixed to the core part 111 and forms multiple surfaces (first surface 10a, second surface 10b) and is divided, so it is possible to partially replace the exterior part 112. As a result, if one of the multiple connection parts 13 is damaged, it is only necessary to replace the exterior part 112 that has the damaged connection part 13, which makes it possible to reduce the maintenance costs of the item capture game device.

[0062] Furthermore, according to the item placement structure 1, the screw portion 412a on a certain side 411 of the floor panel 40 is formed at a position corresponding to the hole portion 412b on the side 411 opposite the certain side 411, and the hole portion 412b on the certain side is formed at a position corresponding to the screw portion 412a on the side 411 opposite the certain side 411. As a result, when two floor panels 40 are connected side by side in the same orientation, the neck of the fixing member can be inserted from either floor panel 40 side to connect the two floor panels 40 to each other, which can improve the work efficiency of, for example, an administrator of an item capture game device when changing the placement positions of items.

[0063] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the above embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made to the above embodiments. Furthermore, it is clear from the claims that such modifications and improvements are also included within the technical scope of the present invention.
