Personalized Chilling Booth

Abstract

An air-conditioned booth for accommodating a small number of people. The air-conditioned booth includes a transparent wall structure extending from a base to a top and enclosing an interior space. The booth includes a duct system and connected air conditioner for cooling air and directing the cooled air into the interior space of the booth. A damper system is operatively connected with the duct system and is positionable to place the booth in a non-cooling mode and a cooling mode. Air cooled by the air conditioner is directed to the ambient air surrounding the booth by the damper system when the booth is in the non-cooling mode and air cooled by the air conditioner is directed into the interior space of the booth when the booth is in the cooling mode. A vending unit is operatively connected to the damper system and controls the damper system.

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 
     
         1 . An amusement machine comprising:
 a base unit;   a platform connected to the base unit for a person to stand thereon;   a wall structure extending upwardly from the platform and enclosing an interior space;   a top unit attached to the wall structure such that the wall structure extends between the base unit and the top unit;   a self-contained air conditioner disposed in the booth for cooling air;   a duct system connected to the air conditioner for directing cooled air into the interior space of the booth; and   a damper system operatively connected with the duct system.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising
 a vending unit operatively connected to the air conditioner.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein
 the damper system is positioned from the first position to the second position for a selected time period in response to currency being inputted into the vending unit.   
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the damper system has a first position where the cooled air is directed to ambient air outs of the booth through an exterior output so as to place the booth in a non-cooling mode.   
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein
 the damper system has a second position where the cooled air from the air conditioner is directed into the interior space through an interior output so as to place the booth in a cooling mode.
