Description

  The present invention relates to a movable winning device of a pachinko gaming machine, and is particularly suitable for enhancing the electric decoration effect of the movable winning device.

  In pachinko machines, etc., it is not only a simple lighting effect but also a visual representation and notification of changes in the game state, etc. on the game board, and an electric decoration effect in the progress of the game. For the purpose, light emitting devices such as LED lamps and filament lamps are mounted on the board surface and other arbitrary parts. For example, there is a game ball movable winning device that is mounted on a board surface to which an illumination device for enhancing the illumination effect is attached.

In addition, as a prior art document, the light emission which projects from the movable wing piece for a player by switching alternately the several light transmissive surface which receives the light beam from LED corresponding to the opening or closing operation | movement of a movable wing piece as patent document 1. There is disclosed a movable winning device for a pachinko gaming machine provided with a light converting means for converting a color.
JP 2005-270274 A

However, when it is configured to enhance the illumination effect of the movable prize winning device as in Patent Document 1, the LED as the light source for illumination will be visible from the player side, but the LED is visible in design. In some cases, it is not preferable. For example, if the movable prize-winning device is shaped like a cherry blossom petal, there is no problem if the LED can be seen if it can be placed in the center of the petal, but the LED is placed in the center of the petal because of the space for placing the LED. If the shape of the LED, which is the light source, can be seen when the LED cannot be arranged, it is not preferable in terms of design. In other words, in order to enhance the illumination effect of the movable prize apparatus, when the design shape applied to the decorative board is made to emit light, there is a problem that the design is damaged if the LED appears as a circular light emitting part. .
Moreover, in the conventional movable prize-winning device, since the LED is housed in a sealed space in the movable wing piece, there is a problem in that the movable wing piece is deformed or deteriorated due to heat generation of the LED.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can be used to shine the decorative board without impairing the design applied to the decorative board of the movable prize-winning device, and to prevent problems caused by heat from the light source. An object is to provide a machine and a movable prize device for a pachinko machine.

In order to achieve the above object, an invention according to claim 1 is directed to a mounting board that is mounted on a game board surface, a movable piece that guides a game ball to a start port formed in the mounting board, and the movable piece. In a movable winning device of a pachinko gaming machine, comprising a decorative board provided on the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine, and a light source that is disposed on the mounting substrate and irradiates light on the back surface of the decorative board, the decorative board comprises a translucent member. In addition, a silver mirror film is formed on the front surface of the translucent member.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the movable winning device of the pachinko gaming machine according to the first aspect, a heat radiation gap is formed in a sealing member that seals between the light source and the decorative board. It is characterized by.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the movable winning device for a pachinko gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, an upper start opening different from the start opening is provided above the movable piece. And
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pachinko gaming machine comprising the pachinko gaming machine movable winning device according to any one of the first to third aspects.

  According to the movable winning device of the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, the decorative plate provided on the front surface of the movable piece is used as a translucent member, and a silver mirror film is formed on the front surface thereof. When the decorative board is configured in this manner, when the light source disposed on the back surface of the decorative board is turned on, the light from the light source can be transmitted through the decorative board and the silver mirror film on the front side of the decorative board can be illuminated.

In the present invention, since the decorative plate is made of a translucent member, the position and shape of the light source can be made invisible when the decorative plate is viewed from the front side, so that the design applied to the decorative plate is not impaired. The decorative board can be shined.
Moreover, in this invention, it becomes possible to prevent the deformation | transformation and deterioration of an apparatus by the heat | fever from a light source by forming the clearance gap for heat radiation in the sealing member which seals between a light source and a decorative board.
