[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a movable device for a game machine, and more particularly, to a movable device for a game machine that allows a movable body to perform a required operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a typical game machine, such as a pachinko machine or an arrange ball machine, changes a distinguishable pattern such as a number or a character at a required position of a game area on a game board set in the machine. Various symbol display devices that can be displayed are provided,
It is possible to increase the interest of the game by performing symbol variations and various effects (reach effect, big hit effect, etc.) on the symbol display device according to the game state. Further, in addition to the effect by the symbol display device, a movable device for a gaming machine provided with a movable body capable of mechanically performing a required operation is provided, and the movable device is provided for various effects of the symbol display device and the gaming machine. Many gaming machines have been proposed in which the movable body of the movable device is operated in conjunction with the lighting / blinking operation of the decorative lamp member to further increase the interest in the game. For example, by using a driving unit such as a solenoid that electrically controls a movable member such as a golf club that is rotated left and right downwards about a rotation axis or a hammer that is vertically rotated forwards and downwards, a game state is achieved. There has been proposed a movable device for a gaming machine configured to perform a putting operation or a hammer swinging operation in accordance with the above.

[0003]

As described above, a solenoid having a small size and an inexpensive advantage is often used as a drive means for a movable body in a movable device for a gaming machine. However, the solenoid can basically be controlled only in two modes, that is, an energized ON state and a disconnected OFF state. Therefore, a movable body such as a golf club or a hammer in the movable device for the gaming machine is a monotonic movement between a position before energizing the solenoid (initial position) and a position after energizing the solenoid (final position). Since the reciprocating motion is repeated, the player can easily predict the motion of the movable body, and it is pointed out that even if this movable device is provided, the effect of increasing the interest in the game is small.

[0004]

[0021]

Operation of the Embodiment Next, the operation of the movable device for the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, which is configured as described above, will be described below.

When the pachinko ball wins the starting winning opening 11 arranged in the game area I of the game board J, the variable display device K displays the variation of the symbol, the reach effect, etc., and the player at the time of this reach effect. In addition, a required game state such as a big hit announcement that can improve the expectation of a "big hit" occurs. When a game state such as this big hit announcement occurs, the electromagnetic solenoid 31 is energized from the control means, and the operating member 3 arranged in the electromagnetic solenoid 31 as shown in FIG. 5B.
2 moves to the left. As a result, the lever member 28 of the seesaw member 27 is pressed toward the left side by the engaging portion 32a on the right side of the actuating member 32, and the tilting direction is changed from the initial position where the left end of the rail part 29 is the tilting lower end side. The seesaw member 27 is tilted about the support shaft 30 up to an intermediate position where the inverted left end portion is on the tilting upper end side, and the movable body 2 is connected to the seesaw member 27 via the power transmission means 35.
5 is rotated to a predetermined position in a substantially upright state (see FIG. 6 (b)). In this way, when the seesaw member 27 is tilted to an intermediate position, the slider 33 arranged in the rail portion 29 is moved to the rail portion 2 as shown in FIG. 5 (c).
The tilt moves from the upper end side to the lower end side along the inclination of 9. Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (d), when the slider 33 passes over the upper portion of the support shaft 30, the balance of the seesaw member 27 changes due to the weight of the slider 33.
The lever member 28 is the engaging portion 32 on the right side of the operating member 32.
The seesaw member 27 is separated from a and the connection between the seesaw member 27 and the electromagnetic solenoid 31 is cut off, and the seesaw member 2 is separated.
7 is tilted to the final position. At this time, the movable body 2
5 is also rotated from the movable start position to the movable end position rotated by approximately 180 degrees (see FIG. 6 (c)).

If the electromagnetic solenoid 31 is de-energized while the movable body 25 is rotated to a predetermined position, the elastic member 34 returns the operating member 32 to the OFF position. The lever member 28 is pressed toward the right by the engaging portion 32a on the left side of the actuating member 32 to return the seesaw member 27 to the initial position, and the movable body 25 also returns to the movable start position. That is,
Only by ON / OFF control of the electromagnetic solenoid 31, the electromagnetic solenoid 31 is rotated from the movable start position to a predetermined position, and after being rotated from the predetermined position to the movable end position, is returned to the movable start position. 3
The movable body 25 may be selectively operated to perform a step operation and a two-step operation of rotating from the movable start position to a predetermined position and then returning from the predetermined position to the movable start position. When the movable body 25 is rotated to the movable end position, the probability of a "big hit" is set to be high, and the movement of the movable body 25 allows the player to expect the "big hit". The feeling can be enhanced and the interest in the game can be increased. Further, there is a time lag between when the slider 33 starts moving from the tilted upper end side to the lower end side and before the seesaw member 27 actually starts rotating toward the final position. That is, since the movable body 25 takes a required time to rotate to the movable end position after being rotated to a predetermined position, the player can be made aware that the operation of the movable body 25 has changed. The interest in the operation after the movable body 25 is rotated to a predetermined position is enhanced. Since the slider 33 uses weight members 33a, 33a that do not require a power source or the like, control is simple and power consumption does not increase.

When the seesaw member 27 is tilted from the initial position to an intermediate position where the tilting direction is reversed by energizing the electromagnetic solenoid 31, the slider 33 provided on the rail portion 29 contacts the regulating member 42. By being configured to be in contact with each other, the tilting of the seesaw member 27 is reliably regulated once at an intermediate position. That is, when the seesaw member 27 is tilted by operating the electromagnetic solenoid 31, it is possible to prevent the seesaw member 27 from rotating past the intermediate position to the final position due to inertia. Can be temporarily stopped at a predetermined position. Also, a guide portion 43 for guiding the operating member 32 of the electromagnetic solenoid 31.
By providing the operation member 32, it is possible to stably move the operating member 32, and thus it is possible to prevent the lever member 28 of the seesaw member 27 from falling off from the engaging portions 32a, 32a.

In the present embodiment, the movable body is connected to the seesaw member so as to be rotated up to a substantially upright state, but it may be rotated up to another required angle. Alternatively, the regulation member and the slider may be brought into contact with each other to prevent rotation due to inertia. Further, although the movable body is rotated in the left-right direction, by changing the configuration of the power transmission means for connecting the seesaw member and the movable body, the rotation in the front up-down direction, the left-right direction in the vertical direction, the vertical It is possible to make a linear motion such as lateral motion and other motions. For example, by fixing the movable body to a rack that can be slid vertically or horizontally,
By engaging with the rotary gear, the movable body can move linearly in association with the tilting movement of the seesaw member. Further, the gears are used as the power transmission means, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, the rotation of the seesaw member and the operation of the movable body can be performed by using a link mechanism or other conventionally known power transmission means. It is also possible to connect.

Further, the seesaw member may form a rail portion having a predetermined length capable of reciprocating the slider, and the rail portion may be tilted as the seesaw member rotates. The rail portion formed on the seesaw member is not limited to the shape of the embodiment and the like, as long as the slider can reciprocate along the tilt of the rail portion, for example, a flange is formed on the seesaw member. The slider may slide on the flange. Further, if the length of the rail portion and the weight of the slider arranged on the rail portion are set as required, the operating speed of the movable body or the movable body is operated to a predetermined position, and the movable body is once stopped and then restarted. You can change the time until. Further, in the present embodiment, the electromagnetic solenoid is used as the driving means, but it is also possible to use a motor, a cylinder, or other known driving means. Further, the connecting means of the driving means and the seesaw member is not limited to the engaging means such as the actuating member and the lever member of the embodiment, and the driving means tilts the seesaw member to an intermediate position where the tilting direction is reversed. In addition, it is sufficient that the seesaw member is allowed to tilt to the final position when the slider moves on the rail portion formed on the seesaw member.

In this embodiment, the movable device is configured to operate when a big hit is announced in a game, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a big hit is produced, it is operated according to a required game state. You can also Further, the case where the movable device is provided in the pachinko machine as the game machine has been described, but the invention is not limited to this and can be used in a pachi-slot machine and various other game machines. Further, the movable device is not limited to the case where it is configured as a tachometer of a car or the like, and it can be selected according to the playability of the gaming machine in which the movable device is arranged.

[0028]

As described above, according to the movable device for the gaming machine of the present invention, the driving means is driven to tilt the seesaw member from the initial tilt position to the intermediate tilt position where the tilt direction is reversed. After the desired display operation is given to the movable body, the slider located on the upper end side is tilted along the rail portion of the seesaw member toward the lower end side to release the connection with the driving means. The seesaw member thus reached reaches the final tilted position, and it becomes possible to give a further display operation to the movable body. Further, it is also possible to return the movable body to the position before the display operation after giving the required display operation to the movable body, and it becomes possible to perform various operations on the movable body. In this way, the display operation of the movable body can be changed and the display operation of the movable body can be controlled according to the game state. Therefore, by causing the movable body to perform various different display operations, The interest can be increased. Further, since the slider positioned on the upper end side of the tilt of the rail portion comes into contact with the restricting member, the tilt of the seesaw member tilted by the driving means can be once restricted at the intermediate tilt position, and the movable body The behavior can be changed with certainty.
