Description
BACRGROUND OF THE INVBNTION
Casino game machines, and in particular slot machines, in a casino or elsPwhere, are often used by patrons for extended periods of ~ime. To ensure the comfort of the patrons, casinos and game halls provide their customers with a chair or stool. The prior art has focused on connecting the game stools to the game machines in order to prevent the game stools from being dislocated and thereby detracting from the aesthetic appearance of the symmetric gaming machines within the casino, and also from interfering with the flow of traffic around the gaming machines.
Examples of prior art detachable game stool assemblies are disclosed in applicant's U.S. Patent No. 5,114,112 which was granted on May 19, 1993 and is entitled "DETACHABLE GAME STOOL
ASSEMBLY", appl:icant's U.S. Patent No. 5,083,738 which issued on January 28, 1992 and is entitled "DETACHABLE GAME STOOL ASSEMBLY", and applicant's U.S. Patent No. 5,232,191 which issued on August 3, 1993 and i5 entitled "DETACHABLE GAME STOOL ASSEMBLY". U.S.
I'atellt No. 5,L14,112 discloses an assembly for detachably supporting a game stool relative to a casino slot machine and generally comprising an elongated planar base member having an upturned portion at one end, a chair configuration extending from the base member opposite the upturned portion, and an extruded rigid support member fixed to the base of the slot machine. The chair configuration includes a vertical post rigidly connected to the base member and a chair seat fixed to the upper portion of the post. The extruded rigid support member includes an upstanding base portion mounted to the slot machine, a cantilevered portion, and an angularly inclined portion which together define an engaging channel for receiving the upturned portion of the base member thereby prohibiting longitudinal movement of the base member relative to the slot machine. The support member secured to the slot machine further includes a pair of spaced apart rigid end stop members which extend downwardly from the opposed ends of the cantilevered portion of the support member within the engaging channel for prohibiting lateral movement of the upturned portion of the base member relative to the gaming machine.
3'~ ~
When the base member disclosed in u.s. Patent No.
5,114,112 is engaged with the extruded rigid support secured to the slot machine, the location of the seat is fixed at a certain ~ distance relative to the slot machine. When required, the assembly 7 may be detached from the slot machine in order for casino e~ployees 3 to empty out the cash box located within the lower front surface of the game machine.
Other prior art devices for attaching a game stool to a game machine also lnclude seat portions which are fixed at a certain distance relative to the slot machine. The prior art assemblies are generally connected to the slot machine by a plurality of bolts or other connecting means which fasten the base member to the base of the casino slot machine. Therefore, in order to access the cash box located within the base of the gaming machine, a casino employee must ~osition himself in a crouched condition, between the game machine and the upstanding seat I configuration so as to remove the coinage from the cash box.
Despite the many advantages of the aforementioned prior art detachable game stool assemblies, one of the shortcomings of the prior art assemblies is that the seat is always located at a predetermined fixed distance from the front of the slot machine.
Usually, this predetermined distance is chosen to reflect the size of the "average" casino patron. As can readily be appreciated, because of the different physical characteristics of the men and women who play slot machines, this fixed distance is often uncomfortable to many players. Stated differently, because of this limitation of prior art seating devices, usually a patron's height, physical stature or other physical characteristics makes it difficult and uncomfortable for the patron to easily operate tha slot machine over a long period of time. The patron may not be able to comfortably reach the coinage slot or the button or lever arm of the slot machine in order to comfortably activate it over a long period of time. Accordingly, it has been found that some patrons opt to stand rather than sit in order to more easily operate the slot machine, thereby defeating the main purpose of attaching the game stool to the slot machine. Further still, it has been found that patrons who are uncomfortable when sitting on a fixed game stool seat will not play for a long period of time, thereby resulting in the casino potentially losing income.
To accommodate both the needs of the patrons and the casino hall operators, the subject invention provides a detachable and adjustable game stool assembly including a seat portion that may be adjusted in a forward and backward direction so as to be, respectively, moved closer to or further away from the slot machine in order to comfortably accommodate patrons of various physical characteristics.
It is thus an object of the subject invention to provide a game stool assembly having a seat portion which is manually adjustable towards and away from the slot machine for accommodating patrons of different physical characteristics.
It is still a further object of the subject invention to provide a safe and easy-to-operate adjustable game stool assembly wherein the seat may be readily moved away from or towards the slot machine for the convPnience of the individual patron.
It is another object of the subject invention to provide an adjustable game stool assembly including a seat which is both movable toward and away from the slot machine and swivelled about a vertical axis for maximum comfort of the patron.

DETAILED DE8CRIPTION OF T~E PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The adjustable game stool assembly of the subject ~ invention is illustrated in FIG. 1 and is generally designated by t the reference numeral lo. The adjustable game stool a~sembly 10 basically comprises an extruded elongated flat base member 12 having an upturned portion 14 at one end, an adjustable chair configuration 16 extending from the base member opposite the upturned portion 14, and an rigid support member 18 fixed to the base of a gaming machine 20 having a cash box 22. The game stool assembly may be detached from the slot machine 20 by pivoting the assembly such that the upturned portion 14 of the base member 12 is disengaged from the rigid support member 1~ and then moving the assembly 10 away from the slot machine such that an attendant may have easy access to the cash box 22. The detachable interconnection between the adjustable game stool assembly 10 and tllc rigid support member 18 and the operation thereof is similar to that disclosed in applicant's U.S. Patent Nos. 5,114,112, r" o~3,738 and 5,232,191, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The extruded base member 12 of the adjustable game stool assembly 10 of the subject invention comprises an elongated flat portion 24 having a rear edge 26 and having an upper surface face 28. The base member 12 is formed with the upturned engaging portion l4 extending generally perpendicular to the plane thereof and the adjust~ble seat configuration 16 is secured to the upper surface 28 of the base member 12 adjacent the rear edge 26 thereof.
The adjustable seat configuration 16 includes a cylindrical post 32 which supports a cushioned seat 34 through means of an adjustable seat support mechanism 36 which is shown in greater detail in FIGS. 2 through 5. The adjustable seat support mechanism 36 enables the patron playing the slot machine to manually effect movement of the seat 34 either toward or away from the slot machine 20 in the direction as indicated by the arrows A in FIG. 1 so as to move the seat closer to or further away from the slot machine to a comfortable position in order to enable the patron to play the }~
slot machine over an extended period of time in comfort and with minimum fatigue. As more fully described hereinafter, to adjust the position of the seat 34, the patron manually actuates a control handle 38 forming a portion of the adjustable seat support mechanism 36 and by shifting his or her body weight, the seat 34 may be moved either away from or closer to the 510t machine to the desired position, after which the patron releases handle 38 to lock the adjustable seat support mechanism 36, thereby fixing the position of the seat 34 relative to the slot machine 20.
Turning to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the adjustable seat support mechanism 36 of the subject invention includes a plate 40 which is rigidly connected to the undersurface of the seat 34 by suitable bolts 42, and the plate 40 forms a portion of a swivel mechanism 44 in order to enable the seat 34 to be swiveled about the vertical axis of the post 32. In turn, the swivel mechanism 44 is rigidly connected by bolts 46 to the seat header plate 48. Bolts 46 also connect the seat header plate 48 to slidable rails 50, two of which are provided as part of the adjustable seat support mechanism 36.
The rails 50 are disposed in paralle:l relationship, as shown in FIG. 2. Each slidable rail 50, in turn, is slidably mounted on a fixed U~shaped support rail structure 52, and each slidable rail 50 cooperates with the associaked fixed support rail 52 to enable sliding movement of the seat 34 towards and away from the slot machine 20 in the direction shown by the arrows "A" in FIG. 1.
Each fixed rail 52 is, in turn, connected by bolts 54 to the post header plate 56 to which the post 32 is fixedly connected.
The adjustable seat support mechanism 36 also includes a manually operable actuating means for allowing adjustment of the seat 34 and sliding of the slidable rails 50 relative to the fixed support rails 52. The adjustable mechanism 36 includes the actuating handle 38 which is connected to a first locking plate 60 that is pivotally connected as at 62 to a slidable rail 50, with the locking plate 60 including locking tabs, designated by the numeral 64.
An identical locking plate mechanism is provided for each ~ " ' rail assembly, as shown in FIG. 4, with each locking plate 60 being -spring-biased by spring 70 to the locked position, as more fully described hereinafter. Furthermor~, both locking plates 60 are actuated simultaneously by means of an interconnecting cable, designated by the numeral 74. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, each fixed rail 52 includes a series of locking slots 76 disposed along the longitudinal length thereof, and sized for engagement with the respective locking tabs 64 of the locking plate 60. As shown in ¦ FIG. 4, in the locked condition of the adjustable seat support mechanism 36, springs 70 bias the actuation handle 38 such that the locking tabs 64 engage the respective locking slots 76 in the fixed support rails 52 for maintaining the seat 34 in a fixed position.
In order to move the seat 34 either towards or away from the slot machine 20 in the direction indicated by the arrows "A", the patron merely actuates the locking handle 38 in the direction indicated by the arrow "B" (see FIG. 4) thereby disengaging the locking tabs 64 from the locking slots 76 and enabling the seat to be moved along the longitudinal axes of the rails 52 either towards or away from the slot machine 20 to a comfortable position for the patron, after which the patron releases the actuation handle 3~ in order to interengage and lock the tabs 64 in the slots 76.
By virtue of the swivel mechanism 44, the patron is thus afforded freedom of swiveling the seat about the vertical axis of the post 32, and by virtue of the mechanism 36 the patron is also capable of moving the seat 34 longitudinally along the axis of the plate 12 to achieve a comfortable position for playing of the slot machine.
Accordingly there is provided a new and improved adjustable casino stool assembly which uniquely provides the person playing the slot machine with the capability of manually moving the seat either closer to or further away from the slot machine for maximum comfort. Manual adjustment of the seat is quickly and easily accomplished by the patron, and merely requires actuation of the readily available handle 38. In the locked position, the seat is fixed and stable, and provides maximum comfort for the 3 . 1 patron.
While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is apparent that various changes may be made in the assembly without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. For example, the adjustable seat support mechanism may be constructed without the swivel connec~ion. Also, in lieu of the mechanism shown in FIGS. 2-5 for adjustably connecting the seat to the post, an equivalent assembly, such as a slide bearing rod structure having locking means may be provided.
Casino game machines, and in particular slot machines, in a casino or elsPwhere, are often used by patrons for extended periods of ~ime. To ensure the comfort of the patrons, casinos and game halls provide their customers with a chair or stool. The prior art has focused on connecting the game stools to the game machines in order to prevent the game stools from being dislocated and thereby detracting from the aesthetic appearance of the symmetric gaming machines within the casino, and also from interfering with the flow of traffic around the gaming machines.
Examples of prior art detachable game stool assemblies are disclosed in applicant's U.S. Patent No. 5,114,112 which was granted on May 19, 1993 and is entitled "DETACHABLE GAME STOOL
ASSEMBLY", appl:icant's U.S. Patent No. 5,083,738 which issued on January 28, 1992 and is entitled "DETACHABLE GAME STOOL ASSEMBLY", and applicant's U.S. Patent No. 5,232,191 which issued on August 3, 1993 and i5 entitled "DETACHABLE GAME STOOL ASSEMBLY". U.S.
I'atellt No. 5,L14,112 discloses an assembly for detachably supporting a game stool relative to a casino slot machine and generally comprising an elongated planar base member having an upturned portion at one end, a chair configuration extending from the base member opposite the upturned portion, and an extruded rigid support member fixed to the base of the slot machine. The chair configuration includes a vertical post rigidly connected to the base member and a chair seat fixed to the upper portion of the post. The extruded rigid support member includes an upstanding base portion mounted to the slot machine, a cantilevered portion, and an angularly inclined portion which together define an engaging channel for receiving the upturned portion of the base member thereby prohibiting longitudinal movement of the base member relative to the slot machine. The support member secured to the slot machine further includes a pair of spaced apart rigid end stop members which extend downwardly from the opposed ends of the cantilevered portion of the support member within the engaging channel for prohibiting lateral movement of the upturned portion of the base member relative to the gaming machine.

When the base member disclosed in u.s. Patent No.
5,114,112 is engaged with the extruded rigid support secured to the slot machine, the location of the seat is fixed at a certain ~ distance relative to the slot machine. When required, the assembly 7 may be detached from the slot machine in order for casino e~ployees 3 to empty out the cash box located within the lower front surface of the game machine.
Other prior art devices for attaching a game stool to a game machine also lnclude seat portions which are fixed at a certain distance relative to the slot machine. The prior art assemblies are generally connected to the slot machine by a plurality of bolts or other connecting means which fasten the base member to the base of the casino slot machine. Therefore, in order to access the cash box located within the base of the gaming machine, a casino employee must ~osition himself in a crouched condition, between the game machine and the upstanding seat I configuration so as to remove the coinage from the cash box.
Despite the many advantages of the aforementioned prior art detachable game stool assemblies, one of the shortcomings of the prior art assemblies is that the seat is always located at a predetermined fixed distance from the front of the slot machine.

DETAILED DE8CRIPTION OF T~E PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The adjustable game stool assembly of the subject ~ invention is illustrated in FIG. 1 and is generally designated by t the reference numeral lo. The adjustable game stool a~sembly 10 basically comprises an extruded elongated flat base member 12 having an upturned portion 14 at one end, an adjustable chair configuration 16 extending from the base member opposite the upturned portion 14, and an rigid support member 18 fixed to the base of a gaming machine 20 having a cash box 22. The game stool assembly may be detached from the slot machine 20 by pivoting the assembly such that the upturned portion 14 of the base member 12 is disengaged from the rigid support member 1~ and then moving the assembly 10 away from the slot machine such that an attendant may have easy access to the cash box 22. The detachable interconnection between the adjustable game stool assembly 10 and tllc rigid support member 18 and the operation thereof is similar to that disclosed in applicant's U.S. Patent Nos. 5,114,112, r" o~3,738 and 5,232,191, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The extruded base member 12 of the adjustable game stool assembly 10 of the subject invention comprises an elongated flat portion 24 having a rear edge 26 and having an upper surface face 28. The base member 12 is formed with the upturned engaging portion l4 extending generally perpendicular to the plane thereof and the adjust~ble seat configuration 16 is secured to the upper surface 28 of the base member 12 adjacent the rear edge 26 thereof.
The adjustable seat configuration 16 includes a cylindrical post 32 which supports a cushioned seat 34 through means of an adjustable seat support mechanism 36 which is shown in greater detail in FIGS. 2 through 5. The adjustable seat support mechanism 36 enables the patron playing the slot machine to manually effect movement of the seat 34 either toward or away from the slot machine 20 in the direction as indicated by the arrows A in FIG. 1 so as to move the seat closer to or further away from the slot machine to a comfortable position in order to enable the patron to play the }~
slot machine over an extended period of time in comfort and with minimum fatigue. As more fully described hereinafter, to adjust the position of the seat 34, the patron manually actuates a control handle 38 forming a portion of the adjustable seat support mechanism 36 and by shifting his or her body weight, the seat 34 may be moved either away from or closer to the 510t machine to the desired position, after which the patron releases handle 38 to lock the adjustable seat support mechanism 36, thereby fixing the position of the seat 34 relative to the slot machine 20.
Turning to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the adjustable seat support mechanism 36 of the subject invention includes a plate 40 which is rigidly connected to the undersurface of the seat 34 by suitable bolts 42, and the plate 40 forms a portion of a swivel mechanism 44 in order to enable the seat 34 to be swiveled about the vertical axis of the post 32. In turn, the swivel mechanism 44 is rigidly connected by bolts 46 to the seat header plate 48. Bolts 46 also connect the seat header plate 48 to slidable rails 50, two of which are provided as part of the adjustable seat support mechanism 36.
The rails 50 are disposed in paralle:l relationship, as shown in FIG. 2. Each slidable rail 50, in turn, is slidably mounted on a fixed U~shaped support rail structure 52, and each slidable rail 50 cooperates with the associaked fixed support rail 52 to enable sliding movement of the seat 34 towards and away from the slot machine 20 in the direction shown by the arrows "A" in FIG. 1.
Each fixed rail 52 is, in turn, connected by bolts 54 to the post header plate 56 to which the post 32 is fixedly connected.
The adjustable seat support mechanism 36 also includes a manually operable actuating means for allowing adjustment of the seat 34 and sliding of the slidable rails 50 relative to the fixed support rails 52. The adjustable mechanism 36 includes the actuating handle 38 which is connected to a first locking plate 60 that is pivotally connected as at 62 to a slidable rail 50, with the locking plate 60 including locking tabs, designated by the numeral 64.
An identical locking plate mechanism is provided for each ~ " ' rail assembly, as shown in FIG. 4, with each locking plate 60 being -spring-biased by spring 70 to the locked position, as more fully described hereinafter. Furthermor~, both locking plates 60 are actuated simultaneously by means of an interconnecting cable, designated by the numeral 74. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, each fixed rail 52 includes a series of locking slots 76 disposed along the longitudinal length thereof, and sized for engagement with the respective locking tabs 64 of the locking plate 60. As shown in ¦ FIG. 4, in the locked condition of the adjustable seat support mechanism 36, springs 70 bias the actuation handle 38 such that the locking tabs 64 engage the respective locking slots 76 in the fixed support rails 52 for maintaining the seat 34 in a fixed position.
In order to move the seat 34 either towards or away from the slot machine 20 in the direction indicated by the arrows "A", the patron merely actuates the locking handle 38 in the direction indicated by the arrow "B" (see FIG. 4) thereby disengaging the locking tabs 64 from the locking slots 76 and enabling the seat to be moved along the longitudinal axes of the rails 52 either towards or away from the slot machine 20 to a comfortable position for the patron, after which the patron releases the actuation handle 3~ in order to interengage and lock the tabs 64 in the slots 76.
By virtue of the swivel mechanism 44, the patron is thus afforded freedom of swiveling the seat about the vertical axis of the post 32, and by virtue of the mechanism 36 the patron is also capable of moving the seat 34 longitudinally along the axis of the plate 12 to achieve a comfortable position for playing of the slot machine.
Accordingly there is provided a new and improved adjustable casino stool assembly which uniquely provides the person playing the slot machine with the capability of manually moving the seat either closer to or further away from the slot machine for maximum comfort. Manual adjustment of the seat is quickly and easily accomplished by the patron, and merely requires actuation of the readily available handle 38. In the locked position, the seat is fixed and stable, and provides maximum comfort for the 3 . 1 patron.
