The sub-process of “0 degree to 180 degree rotation process” described later is executed at the speed, and the rotary decoration member 83 is rotationally driven from the origin position (0 degree) to about 180 degrees clockwise.
Then, the CPU 281 stops the rotating decoration member 83 at a position rotated to about 180 degrees clockwise from time T6 seconds to time T7 seconds.

In S4, the CPU 281 determines whether or not the input signal from the photosensor SW1 is ON after a predetermined time (for example, about 1 to 3 seconds) has elapsed since the start of the forward rotation of the rotation motor 125. Execute the judgment process. When the input signal from the photosensor SW1 is not ON, that is, when it is OFF (S4: NO), the CPU 281 determines that the rotating decoration member 83 is not rotating, and executes the processes after S2. .
On the other hand, when the input signal from the photosensor SW1 is ON (S4: YES), the CPU 281 determines that the rotating decoration member 83 is rotating clockwise, and in S5, the input from the photosensor SW2 A determination process for determining whether or not the signal has changed from OFF to ON, that is, whether or not the rotating decorative member 83 has rotated about 90 degrees in the clockwise direction is executed.
If the input signal from the photosensor SW2 has not changed from OFF to ON (S5: NO), the CPU 281 determines that the rotating decoration member 83 has not yet rotated 90 degrees in the clockwise direction, The processing after S3 is executed again.
On the other hand, when the input signal from the photosensor SW2 changes from OFF to ON (S5: YES), the CPU 281 determines that the rotary decoration member 83 has rotated about 90 degrees clockwise from the origin position, and S6 , After stopping the rotation drive of the rotation motor 125 via the drive circuit 143, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.
Note that the CPU 281 may execute the process of S5 after executing the process of S3 without executing the process of S4.

Next, the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 executes “90 degrees to 0” when the rotary decorative member 83 is rotationally driven from the position rotated about 90 degrees clockwise to the origin position (0 degrees) counterclockwise. The sub-process of “degree rotation process” will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 29, in S11, the CPU 281 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the input signals from the photosensors SW1 and SW2 are ON.
If the input signals from the photosensors SW1 and SW2 are not both ON (S11: NO), in S12, the CPU 281 is not located at the position where the rotating decoration member 83 has been rotated to about 90 degrees clockwise. And the sub-process for performing the abnormality process is executed.
On the other hand, when the input signals from the photosensors SW1 and SW2 are both ON (S11: YES), in S13, the CPU 281 causes the rotation motor 125 to rotate counterclockwise at a predetermined rotation speed via the drive circuit 143. The rotating decorative member 83 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction at a rotation speed corresponding to the drive time (for example, (90 ÷ (T3−T2)) (degree / second).
