  As shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 and the like, the intrusion suppression member 781 has a through hole 782 that can be inserted through the upper portion of the operation portion 701 (above the operation portion protruding portion 727). The upper portion of the protrusion 727 is made of an annular member that can cover the periphery of the through hole 782, and the periphery of the protrusion 727 overlaps the fixed surface 761 of the main body 754. The inner diameter d of the through-hole 782 is formed to be a required amount larger than the outer diameter of the operation portion side surface 723 of the second pressing member 722, and the second operation in the horizontal direction of the operation portion 701 is enabled. When the operation unit 701 is moved to the movement limit in the substantially horizontal direction by the second operation, the operation unit side surface 723 contacts the inner periphery of the through hole 782 in the movement direction, and the movement direction of the operation unit 701 is In the opposite direction, the operation portion protrusion 727 can be covered with the periphery of the through hole 782 without generating a gap between the operation portion protrusion 727 and the periphery of the through hole 782. Yes. The peripheral edge of the through hole 782 corresponds to a suppressing portion that suppresses the liquid material outside the operating device 70 from entering the gap between the constituent members. The intrusion suppression member 781 covers the operation portion protrusion 727 from above in a state where the upper portion of the operation portion 701 is inserted into the through-hole 782, and further overlaps the fixing surface 761 of the main body portion 754, The main body 754 is screwed by an intrusion suppression member fixing member 787 disposed on the lower surface of the fixing surface 761. The intrusion suppression member fixing member 787 is made of a ring-shaped plate. In this manner, by positioning the operating portion protrusion 727 between the intrusion suppression member 781 and the fixing surface 761 of the main body 754 and fixing the intrusion suppression member 781 and the fixing surface 761 of the main body 754, The operation portion 701 is held by the fixing portion 751 so as to be capable of a first operation (movement from the first position to the second position) and a second operation (movement in a substantially horizontal direction).

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the attachment cover member 791 has a container shape that can accommodate the lower portion of the fixing portion 751, and the bottom surface 792 together with the bottom surface of the fixing portion lower side member 768 is inside the assembly member 321. Accordingly, the operation member 70 is fixed to the operation arrangement portion 323, and thereby the lower portion of the operation device 70 is stored in the operation device storage portion 325. Reference numeral 793 denotes a harness insertion hole.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the operating device 70 includes a gap 739 between the operating unit 701 and the fixed unit 751 when the operating unit 701 is at least a predetermined position, by combining the operating unit 701 and the fixed unit 751. Produce. In addition, the gap 739 is configured to occur when the operation unit 701 is located at least in one of the first position and the second position. In the present embodiment, when the operation unit 701 is in the non-operating first position, that is, when the operation unit 701 is not pressed, the fixed surface 761 of the fixing unit 751 and the operation unit protrusion of the operation unit 701 are projected. A gap 739 is generated between the portions 727. Therefore, when liquid substances such as drinking water are spilled in the vicinity of the operation device 70, there is a possibility that the operation device 70 may enter through the gap 739. However, the liquid substance that has entered the gap 739 is once received by the liquid substance receiving portion 759 communicating with the gap 739, and further passes through the discharge port 760 to the operating device storage portion 325 (outside the operating device 701). (Shown in FIGS. 3 and 4). Therefore, the mechanical parts and electrical parts stored in the parts storage part (consisting of the fixed part side part storage part and the operation part side part storage part 731 in the main body bottom bottom through hole 756) are It is possible to reduce the risk of the liquid material that has entered from being damaged by accumulating in the operation device 70. In addition, since the liquid material receiving portion 759 is formed so as to avoid the component storage portion as described above, mechanical parts and electrical components in the component storage portion are formed by the liquid material received by the liquid material receiving portion 759. Can be reduced. Further, since the liquid material received in the liquid material receiving portion 759 can be prevented from entering the component storage portion by the wall portion 758, the liquid material received in the liquid material receiving portion 759 causes the component to It is possible to reduce the risk of damage to mechanical parts and electrical parts in the storage unit.

  Furthermore, since the operation part protrusion part 727 formed on the outer periphery of the operation part 701 covers the opening part (open part) of the fixed part 751, the liquid substance passes along the side surface of the operation part 701 and the gap 739 can be reduced. In addition, the liquid substance that is about to enter the operating device 70 through the side surface of the operation unit 701 is moved away from the side surface of the operation unit 701 and the inner peripheral surface of the fixing unit 751 by the operation unit protrusion 727. Since the direction of flow is changed, the possibility of entering the gap 739 can be reduced.

  Furthermore, in the first position, the inner surface of the peripheral edge of the intrusion suppressing member 781 is in contact with the upper surface of the operating portion protrusion 727, so that the liquid material outside the operating device 701 enters the gap 739. Can be suppressed.

  On the other hand, the first operation of pressing the operation unit plane 703 (the upper surface of the first pressing member 702) of the operation unit 701 causes the operation unit 701 to move from the first position (upper position) to the second position (lower position). In the second position, the fixing surface 761 of the fixing portion 751 and the operation portion protruding portion 727 of the operation portion 701 are in close contact with each other so that the gap 739 disappears and passes through the gap 739. The substance does not enter and it is possible to suppress the entry. In addition, depending on the design of the operation device 70 or when the operation unit 701 is pressed, in the case of the second position, between the fixed surface 761 of the fixed unit 751 and the operation unit protrusion 727 of the operation unit 701. In some cases, the gap 739 remains, and the gap 739 becomes narrower than in the first position (in the embodiment, the interval between the fixed surface 761 and the operation portion protruding portion 727 is narrow). Therefore, even in that case, the liquid substance can be prevented from entering the gap 739 at the second position more than at the first position. Furthermore, in that case, the liquid substance can be prevented from entering the gap 739 also by the peripheral edge of the intrusion suppressing member 781. Further, even if the liquid material may invade from the gap 739, the liquid material is received by the liquid material receiving portion 759 and discharged to the outside of the operating device 70 through the discharge port 760 as in the first position. As a result, the risk of malfunctions due to the accumulation of the liquid substance in the operating device 70 can be reduced. Further, it is possible to prevent the wall portion 758 from entering the component storage portion.

  On the other hand, when the operation unit 701 moves substantially horizontally by a second operation in which the upper end of the second pressing member 722 is pressed, as shown in FIG. 16, the inner peripheral edge of the intrusion suppressing member 781 and the The space between the operation unit side surface 723 is narrowed, or the operation unit side surface 723 is in contact with the inner peripheral edge of the intrusion suppression member 781, and the inner surface of the peripheral edge of the intrusion suppression member 781 and the upper surface of the operation unit protrusion 727 Therefore, the liquid substance outside the operating device 701 can be prevented from entering the gap 739. Further, even if the liquid material may invade from the gap 739, the liquid material is received by the liquid material receiving portion 759 and discharged to the outside of the operating device 70 through the discharge port 760 as in the first position. In addition, it is possible to reduce the possibility of accumulating in the operating device 70. Further, it is possible to prevent the wall portion 758 from entering the component storage portion. Further, the liquid material inducing action of the operation portion protrusion 727 can suppress the intrusion of the liquid material. Furthermore, the opening portion (open portion) of the fixed portion 751 is covered with the operation portion protrusion portion 727 of the operation portion 701 not only in the moving direction of the operation portion 701 but also on the opposite side to the moving direction. Therefore, the invasion of the liquid substance can be suppressed also by this.

  Thus, in the gaming machine 1, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the operating device (particularly mechanical parts and electrical parts) is damaged by the liquid substance at any operating position of the operating unit 701 of the operating device 70. is there.

It may be a simple configuration.

  In the present embodiment, the invasion suppressing member made of an annular member is fixed and moved only by the operating portion, but the intrusion suppressing member made of an annular member may also be moved together with the operating portion. In particular, if the structure is such that the intrusion suppression member made of an annular member moves in a state in which the operation portion protruding portion is in contact, the risk of the liquid material invading can be further reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the operation unit is configured to be movable not only in one direction but also in the other direction in the second operation, but may not be movable in the other direction. In this way, since the gap is reduced, it is possible to reduce the risk of the liquid material entering.

  In this embodiment, the operation unit is composed of the first pressing member, the protection member, and the second pressing member. However, the second operation is performed by pressing the side surface of the protection member without providing the second pressing member. It is good also as a structure.

  In the present embodiment, the portion that is flush with the upper surface of the operation portion is substantially flush with some irregularities, but may be perfectly flush with no irregularities. Further, for example, the bottom surface 755 of the main body portion, the wall portion 758, the side surface 757 of the main body portion and the like are inclined downward toward the discharge port 760 so that the liquid material that has entered can easily flow to the discharge port 760. It may be configured. Further, a mechanism for vibrating the liquid material receiving portion 759 may be provided so that the liquid material can easily flow to the discharge port 760 by vibration even when the liquid material is retained in the liquid material receiving portion 759. In addition, when a zel-like substance enters in addition to liquids such as drinking water, the same effects as those of the present invention may be achieved.
