[0004]
[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-308981
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the back lamp is turned on to illuminate a predetermined region (design portion) on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder of the reel, the lamp portion of the back lamp looks particularly bright through the design, and the design may not be clearly seen. .
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a reel tape of a gaming machine that can clearly recognize a symbol even when a back lamp is lit.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To achieve such an object, a reel tape of a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a tape base, and a symbol provided on one surface of the tape substrate, and the symbol is formed on one surface of the tape substrate. A concave and convex medium ink layer having irregularities printed and formed on the area where the pattern is provided, a glossy medium ink layer containing a gloss pigment formed by printing on the irregularity medium ink layer, and a glossy medium ink layer And a symbol color layer having a predetermined symbol color, which is formed by printing on the substrate.
[0008]
According to the reel tape of the gaming machine having such a configuration, when the design is viewed through the tape base material from the other surface of the tape base material, the design is formed by an uneven medium ink layer and a glossy medium ink layer. By drawing so as to have the symbol, the symbol can be clearly recognized. When the back lamp is turned on at the inner peripheral portion of the reel to illuminate a predetermined region (design portion) of the reel tape (reel), light passing through the design causes irregular reflection at the uneven medium ink layer and the glossy medium ink layer. Therefore, the design looks beautiful and the lamp portion of the back lamp becomes difficult to see through the design, so that the design can be clearly recognized even when the back lamp is turned on.
[0009]
Further, it is preferable that the tape base material, the uneven medium ink layer, and the glossy medium ink layer are each transparent. In this way, when the symbol is viewed through the tape substrate from the other surface of the tape substrate, the symbol can be more clearly recognized.
[0010]
Further, a background portion is provided in a background region other than the design on one surface of the tape base material, and the background portion has a background color having a predetermined background color printed and formed on the background region on one surface of the tape base material. It is preferable to have a layer and a silver stop layer formed on the background color layer and impermeable to light. In this way, when the back lamp is turned on at the inner peripheral portion of the reel, light from the back lamp is transmitted in the pattern portion, but light from the back lamp is not transmitted in the background portion due to the silver stop layer. Therefore, only the symbols on the reel tape can be effectively illuminated using the back lamp.
[0011]

[0027]
The reel 70 is mainly composed of a reel body 71, and is attached to the motor shaft 61a of the reel motor 61 by fixing means such as a screw, so as to rotate integrally with the motor shaft 61a. The reel body 71 is integrally formed in a cylindrical shape using a resin material by molding means such as injection molding. A reel tape 100 according to the present invention, on which various patterns are provided, is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder of the reel body 71. By mounting the reel tape 100 on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder of the reel body 71, the reel A variety of symbols are formed along the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 70 (reel main body 71).
[0028]
Next, the reel tape 100 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 5 is a front view of the reel tape 100, FIG. 6 is an enlarged front view showing the reel tape 100 in a simplified manner, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view along the arrow VII-VII in FIG.
[0029]
As shown in each drawing, the reel tape 100 includes a transparent tape base material 101, a plurality of patterns 102, 102,... Provided on one surface of the tape base material 101 at predetermined intervals, and a tape base material. A background portion 103 provided in a background area 103 a excluding various patterns 102, 102,... On one surface of the material 101, and by seeing through the transparent tape base 101 from the other surface of the tape base 101, .. And the background portion 103 can be recognized.
[0030]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the three reel tapes 100, 100, 100 have different arrangements of various symbols 102, 102,..., Respectively. And a duplicate description is omitted.
[0031]
The tape base 101 is formed in a belt shape using a transparent resin material such as polycarbonate. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, a symbol 102 and a background portion 103 are provided on one surface of the tape base material 101. The pattern 102 has a concave-convex medium ink layer 111 formed on one side of the tape substrate 101 by printing on a pattern area 102 a where the pattern 102 is provided, and a glossy medium formed by printing on the concave-convex medium ink layer 111. An ink layer 112, a pattern color layer 113 formed by printing on the glossy medium ink layer 112, and a white layer 116 formed by printing on the pattern color layer 113 are provided.
[0032]
The uneven medium ink layer 111 is a transparent ink layer having unevenness 111a, and is formed by printing on a design area 102a on one surface of the tape base 101 by a screen printing method.
[0033]
In order to obtain the uneven medium ink layer 111 by the screen printing method, for example, a medium ink (not shown) that is cured by ultraviolet irradiation is applied so as to be scattered on the symbol region 102a of the tape substrate 101, and the symbol region 102a In the process of flattening the medium ink scattered thereon, ultraviolet light is irradiated by a UV irradiator (not shown) to cure the medium ink in a short time. Thereby, the medium ink scattered on the symbol region 102a is cured before being flattened, and the transparent uneven medium ink layer 111 having the unevenness 111a can be obtained. The invention is not limited to the above, and a medium ink capable of obtaining unevenness (also referred to as a grain) during printing may be used.
[0034]
The glossy medium ink layer 112 is a transparent ink layer containing a glossy pigment, and is formed by printing on the uneven medium ink layer 111 by a screen printing method. The luster pigment included in the luster medium ink layer 112 allows the pattern 102 to have a pearly or lame luster.
[0035]
At this time, since the gloss pigment tends to accumulate in the concave portion 111b of the unevenness 111a due to the action of gravity during printing, a difference in the concentration of the gloss pigment occurs between the concave portion 111b and the convex portion 111c in the unevenness 111a, and the glossy medium ink layer 112 In this case, the level of luminance due to the gloss pigment is generated. As the gloss pigment, for example, a pearl pigment in which natural mica is coated with titanium dioxide or iron oxide is provided as a material that can provide a pearly gloss, and as a material that can obtain a glittery gloss, For example, there is an aluminum pigment made of aluminum powder having relatively large particles.
[0036]
The pattern color layer 113 is a multicolor ink layer having a predetermined pattern color, and is formed by printing on the glossy medium ink layer 112 by a screen printing method. Then, the symbol 102 can be recognized by viewing the symbol color layer 113 from the other surface of the tape substrate 101 through the transparent tape substrate 101, the uneven medium ink layer 111, and the glossy medium ink layer 112. ing.
[0037]
Thus, when the pattern color layer 113, that is, the pattern 102 is viewed from the other surface of the tape base 101 through the transparent tape base 101, the uneven medium ink layer 111, and the glossy medium ink layer 112, the uneven medium ink layer 111 and the gloss Since the medium ink layer 112 causes the brightness of the glossy pigment in the glossy medium ink layer 112 to be high or low, the pattern 102 is recognized as having a concavo-convex glossy pattern. Therefore, the symbol 102 can be clearly recognized.
[0038]
When the back lamp 63 is turned on on the inner peripheral portion of the reel 70, that is, on one surface side of the tape base material 101 to illuminate a predetermined area (design) of the reel tape 100 (reel 70), the back lamp 63 Light emitted from the lamp portion 63a and passing through the pattern 102 is irregularly reflected by the uneven medium ink layer 111 and the glossy medium ink layer 112, so that the pattern 102 looks beautiful and the lamp portion 63a of the back lamp 63 passes through the pattern 102. Since the portion becomes difficult to see, the pattern 102 can be clearly recognized even when the back lamp 63 is turned on.
[0039]
The white layer 116 is a white ink layer, and is formed by printing on the pattern color layer 113 and the background color layer 115 in the background portion 103 by a screen printing method. Thereby, when the symbol color layer 113 is viewed from the other side of the tape substrate 101 through the transparent tape substrate 101, the uneven medium ink layer 111 and the glossy medium ink layer 112, the white layer 116 As a base, the symbol color layer 113, that is, the symbol 102 can be more easily seen.
[0040]
The background portion 103 includes a background color layer 115 formed by printing on a background region 103a where the background portion 103 is provided on one surface of the tape base material 101, and a white layer formed by printing on the background color layer 115. 116 and a silver stopper layer 117 formed by printing on the white layer 116.
[0041]
The background color layer 115 is an ink layer having a predetermined background color, and is formed by printing on the background area 103a on one surface of the tape base 101 by a screen printing method. The background portion 103 can be recognized by viewing the background color layer 115 from the other surface of the tape base 101 through the transparent tape base 101.
[0042]
As described above, the white layer 116 is formed by printing on the pattern color layer 113 and the background color layer 115 by screen printing. Thus, when the background color layer 115 is viewed through the transparent tape base material 101 from the other surface of the tape base material 101, the white layer 116 becomes the base of the background color layer 115, and the background color layer 115, 103 can be made easier to see.
[0043]
The silver stop layer 117 is a colored ink layer that does not transmit light, and is formed by printing on the white layer 116 in the background portion 103 by a screen printing method. As a result, when the back lamp 63 emits light on the inner peripheral portion of the reel 70, that is, on one surface side of the tape base material 101, the light from the back lamp 63 is transmitted in the portion of the pattern 102, while the portion of the background portion 103 is transmitted. In this case, since the light from the back lamp 63 is not transmitted by the silver stopper layer 117, only the pattern 102 on the reel tape 100 can be effectively illuminated using the back lamp 63.
[0044]
In the reel tape 100 configured as described above, when the symbol 102 is viewed through the tape substrate 101 from the other surface of the tape substrate 101, the symbol 102 is drawn so as to have an uneven glossy pattern. , The pattern 102 can be clearly recognized. When the back lamp 63 is turned on at the inner periphery of the reel 70 to illuminate a predetermined area (design portion) of the reel tape 100 (reel 70), the light is emitted from the lamp portion 63a of the back lamp 63 and passes through the design 102. Since the reflected light causes irregular reflection on the uneven medium ink layer 111 and the glossy medium ink layer 112, the pattern 102 can be clearly recognized even when the back lamp 63 is turned on.
[0045]
Further, since the tape base 101, the uneven medium ink layer 111, and the glossy medium ink layer 111 are respectively transparent, the pattern 102 and the background portion 103 can be viewed from the other surface of the tape base 101 through the tape base 101. When this is done, the symbol 102 and the background portion 103 can be more clearly recognized. Furthermore, only the pattern 102 on the reel tape 100 can be effectively illuminated using the back lamp 63 by the silver stopper layer 117 of the background portion 103.
[0046]
Then, the reel tape 100 is mounted on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the reel body 71 using mounting means (not shown) such as an adhesive tape or the like, so that various kinds of symbols are formed along the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the reel 70 (reel main body 71). Are formed, and the reel 70 is used for use in this state.
[0047]
According to the reel tape 100 configured as described above, when the symbol 102 is viewed through the tape substrate 101 from the other surface of the tape substrate 101, the symbol 102 is formed by the uneven medium ink layer 111 and the glossy medium ink layer 112. The pattern 102 can be clearly recognized by being drawn to have an uneven glossy pattern. When the back lamp 63 is turned on at the inner peripheral portion of the reel 70 to illuminate a predetermined region (design portion) of the reel tape 100 (reel 70), light passing through the design 102 is irradiated with the uneven medium ink layer 111 and the glossy medium. Since the irregular reflection is caused by the ink layer 112, the pattern 102 is clearly seen, and the lamp portion 63a of the back lamp 63 is difficult to see through the pattern 102. Therefore, the pattern 102 is clearly recognized even when the back lamp 63 is turned on. be able to.
[0048]
Further, since the tape base 101, the uneven medium ink layer 111, and the glossy medium ink layer 111 are respectively transparent, the pattern 102 and the background portion 103 can be viewed from the other surface of the tape base 101 through the tape base 101. When this is done, the symbol 102 and the background portion 103 can be more clearly recognized.
[0049]
Further, when the back lamp 63 is caused to emit light at the inner peripheral portion of the reel 70 by the silver stopper layer 117 of the background portion 103, the light from the back lamp 63 is transmitted in the portion of the pattern 102, whereas Since the light from the lamp 63 is not transmitted, only the pattern 102 on the reel tape 100 can be effectively illuminated using the back lamp 63.
[0050]
In the above-described embodiment, the background portion 102 has a transparent uneven medium ink layer 111 having unevenness 111a, a transparent glossy medium ink layer 112 including a gloss pigment, and a symbol color layer 113 having a predetermined symbol color. It is configured with, but is not limited to, the pattern is configured to include a transparent uneven medium ink layer having irregularities, and a pattern color layer having a predetermined pattern color including a gloss pigment It may be.
[0051]
By doing so, similarly to the above-described embodiment, the pattern is drawn so as to have a concave-convex glossy pattern by the concave-convex medium ink layer and the pattern color layer containing the gloss pigment, so that the pattern can be clearly recognized. it can. When the back lamp is turned on at the inner peripheral portion of the reel to illuminate a predetermined area (design portion) of the reel tape (reel), light passing through the design is transmitted to the pattern color layer including the uneven medium ink layer and the glossy pigment. Due to the irregular reflection, the design looks beautiful, and the lamp portion of the back lamp becomes difficult to see through the design, so that the design can be clearly recognized even when the back lamp is turned on. At this time, it is preferable that the design color layer has a color that does not hinder the luminance of the gloss pigment.
[0052]
In the above-described embodiment, the reel tape 100 according to the present invention is used in the slot machine SM. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a gaming machine having a rotatable reel, such as a pachinko machine, may be used. The reel tape according to the present invention can be used.
[0053]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the reel tape of the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the design is viewed through the tape base material from the other surface of the tape base material, the design is made uneven by the uneven medium ink layer and the glossy medium ink layer. The pattern can be clearly recognized by being drawn so as to have the shape of a glossy pattern. When the back lamp is turned on at the inner peripheral portion of the reel to illuminate a predetermined region (design portion) of the reel tape (reel), light passing through the design causes irregular reflection at the uneven medium ink layer and the glossy medium ink layer. Therefore, the design looks beautiful and the lamp portion of the back lamp becomes difficult to see through the design, so that the design can be clearly recognized even when the back lamp is turned on.
[0054]
Further, it is preferable that the tape base material, the uneven medium ink layer, and the glossy medium ink layer are each transparent. In this way, when the symbol is viewed through the tape substrate from the other surface of the tape substrate, the symbol can be more clearly recognized.
