  As shown in FIG. 9, the specific display unit 3 includes a light emitter (light emitting diode, lamp, etc.) 33 serving as a backlight light source on the back surface, and a specific display body 36 is disposed on the front side of the light emitter 33. The The specific display body 36 is formed, for example, by attaching a transparent character portion 36b made of a light guide formed with a character of “life” on the transparent plate 36a, and the front surface of the transparent character portion 36b of the light guide is “ It is assumed to be the character shape of “Kotobuki”. Here, the front shape of the transparent character portion 36b is the character shape of “Shou”, but the front shape of the specific display body 36 is, of course, any shape such as other characters, signs, designs, figures, characters, etc. Can do.

  A white paint is applied to the side surface around the specific display body 36 so that light incident from the back surface can be efficiently guided to the front surface and radiated. In addition, a plurality of light emitters 33 are mounted on the light source substrate 32 together with a current limiting resistor. The plurality of light emitters 33 are disposed on the back surface of the transparent character portion 36b of the specific display body 36, and are mainly “lifetime”. The light is incident on the transparent character portion 36b of the specific display 36 from directly behind the character "", and the light is efficiently emitted from the front surface thereof.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a transparent protective cover 34 is attached on the substrate 32 to protect the light emitter 33, and a light diffusion plate 35 is disposed between the transparent protective cover 34 and the specific display body 36. ing.

  The light diffusing plate 35 is disposed so as to diffuse the light from the light emitter 33 so that a uniform backlight is incident on the specific display 36. However, the light emitter 33 is not provided without providing the light diffusing plate 35. It is also possible to directly enter the specific display 36 without diffusing the light from the light.

  In addition, a plurality of light emitters 33 are disposed only on the back surface of the transparent character portion 36b of the specific display 36 on the substrate 32. However, when a light diffusion plate 35 is provided to diffuse light as a backlight, a plurality of light emitters are provided. It is also possible to arrange 33 distributed over the entire circular substrate 32.

  The electrical decoration device configured as described above is used by being mounted on a gaming board of a gaming machine (not shown). The display surface on the front surface of the case 1 is normally displayed as a display surface that shines uniformly as shown in FIG. 1 by lighting the light emitters 22 and 33, and in the special game state such as a big hit, As shown in FIG. 14, the characters “life” are displayed with higher luminance so as to emerge from the surrounding display surface.

  That is, in the normal state, as shown in FIGS. 2, 8A, and 13B, the specific display unit 3 is located at the rear (back) in the case 1, and the peripheral light emitting unit 2 in the case 1 is located. Since the light emitters 22 and the light emitters 33 of the specific display unit 3 emit light, the radiated light from the light emitters 22 and 33 travels forward while mixing in the case interior space 11 and hits the light diffusion film 92. Then, the light is diffused there and transmitted through the light diffusion plate 9 and emitted forward. Therefore, in normal times, as shown in FIG. 1, the design display surface of the profile image on the front surface of the case 1 is displayed so as to shine uniformly. For example, when red light emitting diodes are used for the light emitters 22 and 33, While the red light hits the light diffusing particles and diffuses, the light is transmitted through the light diffusing film 92, so that a large number of light diffusing particles are lit and displayed in a pink color.

  On the other hand, in a specific gaming state such as a big hit, the motor 71 is operated and the disc 72 rotates as shown in FIG. 13A, whereby the specific display unit 3 is displayed on the display body via the movement drive mechanism 7. The specific display body unit 3 approaches the light diffusing plate 9 on the front surface of the case 1 as shown in FIG.

  At this time, in the specific display unit 3, the light emitted from the light emitter 33 is introduced into the specific display body 36 of the light guide and emitted forward from the front surface. By approaching the diffusion plate 9, the front surface of the specific display body 36 approaches the light diffusion plate 9, and the space between the front surface of the specific display body 36 and the light diffusion plate 9 is narrowed. At this time, the light emitted from the light emitter 33 and emitted through the specific display body 36 of the light guide is guided forward more efficiently than the light passing through the peripheral space, and is diffused through a space of a short distance. The light enters the plate 9. For this reason, the part of the character of “life” which is the front shape of the specific display body 36 is displayed with higher brightness than the peripheral part which is uniformly lit and displayed, and the character of “life” having more impact is displayed. Displayed with high brightness to the viewer.

  When the gaming machine returns to the normal state and the motor 71 returns, the disc 72 rotates as shown in FIG. 13B, and the specific display unit 3 is displayed on the display unit display device via the movement drive mechanism 7. The specific display unit 3 moves away from the light diffusion plate 9 on the front surface of the case 1 as shown in FIG.

  If it will be in this state, as mentioned above, the emitted light from the light emitter 22 of the peripheral light emission part 2 in the case 1 and the light emitter 33 of the specific display body unit 3 will advance ahead, mixing the inside of the case internal space 11. FIG. Since the light diffusing film 92 is diffused and transmitted and radiated forward, the front shape of the specific display unit 36 is displayed with high luminance as when the specific display unit 3 moves forward. Instead, as shown in FIG. 1, the design display surface of the profile image on the front surface of the case 1 returns to a state where it is displayed so as to shine uniformly.

  Further, even if the light emitter 33 of the specific display unit 3 is turned off and only the light emitter 22 of the peripheral light emitting unit 2 is turned on, a dark portion like a shadow does not occur, and the display surface of the case 1 is displayed. It can be displayed beautifully.

  In this way, the movement drive mechanism 7 operates in a state where the light emitter 22 of the peripheral light emitting unit 2 and the light emitter 33 of the specific display unit 3 in the case 1 are in a light emitting operation, and the specific display unit 3 is in the case 1. When the front surface of the specific display body 36 approaches the light diffusing plate 9, the light emitted from the light emitter 33 of the specific display body unit 3 and guided through the specific display body 36 of the light guide is slightly Since the light diffusing plate 9 is diffused and transmitted through the space of a certain distance and radiated to the front surface, the specific display body is displayed on the display surface displayed so that the front surface of the case designed for the illumination device shines uniformly. The front surface of 36 is displayed with its brightness increased, and the specific display body 36 can be shined so as to emerge and be displayed beautifully.

White paint is applied to the inside of the peripheral wall portion 114 and the back wall of the case 101 so that the light irradiated in the case internal space 111 is reflected by the wall surface.

  A light diffusing plate 109 is attached to the front surface of the case 101 so as to cover the entire front opening. The light diffusion plate 109 is configured by adhering a light diffusion film 192 serving as a light diffusion layer to the back surface of a transparent plate 191 such as a transparent acrylic resin plate. The light diffusion film 192 is formed by scattering fine light diffusing substances that diffuse light on the surface of the transparent film, and acts to diffuse light from the back surface and transmit it to the front surface.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the display body display device 6 is attached to the back surface of the case 101 so as to attach the front case 5, and the specific display body unit 3 of the display body display device 6 has a back opening portion of the case 101. It is arranged at a position where it can be inserted into 112. In the display body display device 6, the rear case 4 and the front case 5 are connected by three guide rods 61, and a motor 71 with a speed reducer of the movement drive mechanism 7 is attached to a part of the rear case 4. Further, the display body display device 6 supports the specific display body unit 3 so as to be movable between the rear case 4 and the front case 5 by three guide rods 61, and the specific display body in the front-rear direction by the guide operation. The unit 3 is reciprocally translated.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the specific display unit 3 has a substrate 32 mounted with a plurality of light emitters 33 mounted on the front surface of a substantially cylindrical base 31, and a transparent protective cover 34 on the front surface of the substrate 32 with the light emitters. The specific display body 36 is attached via a transparent front cover 37 and its front surface is enclosed. An engagement frame 31b provided with an engagement long hole 31c is attached to the back surface of the base 31, and the eccentric pin 73 of the movement drive mechanism 7 is engaged with the engagement long hole 31c of the engagement frame 31b. .

  As shown in FIG. 18, the specific display unit 3 includes a light emitter 133 serving as a backlight light source on the back surface, and a specific display body 36 is disposed on the front side of the light emitter 133. The specific display body 36 is formed by attaching a transparent character portion 36b composed of a light guide body in which the character of “life” is formed on a substantially circular transparent plate 36a slightly larger than the transparent character portion 36b. The front surface of the character portion 36b has a character shape of “Shou”.

  A white paint is applied to the side surface around the specific display body 36 so that light incident from the back surface can be efficiently guided to the front surface and radiated. A substrate 132 with a light emitter 133 serving as a light source is formed in a circular shape having substantially the same size as the transparent plate 36a, and the plurality of light emitters 133 are distributed over the entire plane of the substrate 132, that is, the transparent plate 36a. . A part of the light emitted from the plurality of light emitters 133 is incident on the transparent character portion 36b, and a part of the light is incident on the peripheral portion of the transparent character portion 36b (the peripheral portion of the circular transparent plate 36a). . Further, a transparent protective cover 34 is mounted on the substrate 132 to protect the light emitter 133. The light diffusion plate 35 between the transparent protective cover 34 and the specific display body 36 used in the above embodiment is not used here.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the electrical decoration device having the above-described configuration normally has the specific display unit 3 positioned at the rear (back) in the case 101 and the light emitter 133 of the specific display unit 3 in the case 101. In order to emit light, the emitted light from each light emitter 133 passes through the transparent plate 36a and the specific indicator 36 of the light guide, travels further forward in the case internal space 111, hits the light diffusion film 192, and is diffused there. While passing through the light diffusing plate 109, it is emitted forward.

  Therefore, in normal times, as shown in FIG. 16A, the specific display unit 3 is located at the rear (back) in the case 101, and the front surface of the specific display unit 36 of the light diffusing plate 109 and the specific display unit 3 is used. Since the distance between them is long, the circular display surface on the front surface of the case 101 is displayed so as to shine uniformly.

In this manner, the light diffusion plate 109 on the front surface of the case 101 is approached.

  At this time, in the specific display unit 3, the light emitted from the light emitter 133 is introduced into the specific display 36 of the light guide and emitted forward from the front surface. Due to the approach to the diffusion plate 109, the front surface of the transparent character portion 36b of the specific display body 36 approaches the light diffusion plate 109, and the space between the front surface of the transparent character portion 36b of the specific display body 36 and the light diffusion plate 109 is narrowed. . At this time, the light radiated from the light emitter 133 and radiated through the transparent character portion 36b of the light guide is guided more efficiently than the light passing through the transparent plate 36a in the peripheral portion, and passes through a space of a short distance. The light is incident on the light diffusion plate 109. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), the character portion of “life”, which is the front shape of the transparent character portion 36b, is displayed with a higher brightness than the peripheral portion that is uniformly lit and displayed. It is beautifully displayed with high brightness so that the word “Shou” appears.

  In this way, even when only the plurality of light emitters 133 disposed on the back surface of the specific display body 36 of the specific display body unit 3 are turned on, the display surface of the specific display body 36 is displayed on the display surface so that the front surface of the case is uniformly shining. The front surface of the transparent character portion 36b is displayed with its brightness increased, and the characters on the front surface of the transparent character portion 36b can be displayed so as to emerge beautifully.

  20 and 21 show the electrical decoration device of the third embodiment. In this embodiment, the specific display unit 30 arranges a specific display body of a light guide formed in the shape of a specific display unit such as characters on the front surface of the plurality of light emitters 43 provided on the substrate, and the front surface thereof. Is covered with a transparent front cover 47, and the specific display unit 30 is fixed to a fixing portion (game board 49) via a fixing support member 45.

  On the other hand, a light diffusing plate 209 is disposed on the front side of the specific display unit 30 so as to be movable toward or away from the specific display unit 30. The light diffusing plate 209 is formed by adhering a light diffusing film on the inner side of a transparent plastic plate, is attached to cover the front surface of the inner case 201, and receives light emitted from the specific display unit 30 and the peripheral light emitting unit 20. It diffuses light and emits light. The light diffusing plate 209 on the front surface of the inner case 201 is formed, for example, as a design display surface of a profile image as described above, and the design display surface mainly receives light emitted from the light emitter 222 of the peripheral light emitting unit 20. , Diffused light and displayed to shine evenly.

  Similarly to the above, the specific display unit 30 includes a light emitter (light emitting diode, lamp, etc.) 43 serving as a light source on the back surface, and a specific display body is disposed on the front side of the light emitter 43. For example, the specific display is formed by attaching a transparent character portion made of a light guide that takes the character of “Shou” on a transparent plate, and the front of the transparent character portion of the light guide is “Shou”. Shaped.

  A white paint is applied to the side surface around the specific display body so that light incident from the back surface can be efficiently guided to the front surface and radiated. In addition, a plurality of light emitters 43 are mounted on the light source substrate together with a current limiting resistor. The plurality of light emitters 43 are arranged on the back surface of the transparent character portion of the specific display body, and mainly the character of “life”. The light is incident on the transparent character portion of the specific display from directly behind, and the light is efficiently emitted from the front surface.

  A plurality of fixed support members 45 are fixed to the back side of the game board 49, the base 41 of the specific display unit 30 is fixed to these fixed support members 45, and the specific display unit 30 is fixedly attached. Further, the motor 81 of the movement drive mechanism 8 is attached to the back side of the fixed support member 45 via the attachment bracket 46. The movement drive mechanism 8 rotates the disc 82 by the rotational drive of the motor 81, and engages the eccentric pin that is biased and protrudes on the disc 82 with the engagement frame 83.

  The engagement frame 83 is fixed to the mounting plate 44, and a plurality of sliding rods 42 are fixed horizontally to the vertical mounting plate 44, and the tips of the plurality of sliding rods 42 are fixed in the inner case 201. . Further, the intermediate portions of the plurality of sliding rods 42 are slidably supported by a plurality of guide portions 41 a protruding from the base 41 of the specific display unit 30.

  As a result, when the motor 81 of the movement drive mechanism 8 is driven to rotate and the disk 82 rotates, the eccentric pin that is biased and protrudes on the disk 82 acts on the engaging frame 83, via the mounting plate 44. The plurality of sliding rods 42 are moved in the axial direction (front-rear direction), and the inner case 201 fixed to the tip of the sliding rod 42 is moved toward or away from the specific display unit 30 together with the light diffusion plate 209 (front-rear). To be moved).

  A peripheral light emitting unit 20 having a plurality of light emitters 222 provided on a substrate 221 is disposed inside the inner case 201 and around the specific display unit 30. The peripheral light emitting unit 20 together with the light diffusion plate 209 performs a specific display. The structure moves relative to the body unit 30. The front surface of the inner case 201 including the light diffusion plate 209 is covered with a transparent cover 48, and the peripheral portion of the transparent cover 48 is fixed to the game board 49.

  Next, the operation of the electrical decoration device having the above configuration will be described. Normally, as shown in FIG. 20, the light diffusing plate 209 of the inner case 201 is separated forward from the specific display unit 30. When the light emitter 222 of the peripheral light emitting unit 20 in the inner case 201 and the light emitter 43 of the specific display unit 30 are turned on, the emitted light from each of the light emitters 222 and 43 mixes the space in the inner case 201. The light travels forward, hits the light diffusing plate 209, is diffused there, and is transmitted forward.

  Therefore, in normal times, the design display surface of the profile image on the front surface of the inner case 201 is displayed so as to shine evenly. For example, when red light emitting diodes are used for the light emitters 222 and 43, red light is a light diffusing particle. By passing through the light diffusing plate 209 while diffusing at the same time, a large number of light diffusing particles are lit and displayed in a pink color.

  On the other hand, when the motor 81 of the movement drive mechanism 8 is activated in a specific gaming state such as a big hit, the disk 82 rotates and the inner case 201 moves rearward. As a result, the light diffusion plate 209 on the front surface of the inner case 201 approaches the specific display unit 30 as shown in FIG.

  At this time, in the specific display unit 30, the light emitted from the light emitter 43 is introduced into the specific display body of the light guide and is emitted forward from the front surface. Due to the approach to the plate 209, the front surface of the specific display body approaches the light diffusion plate 209, and the space between the front surface of the specific display body and the light diffusion plate 209 is narrowed. At this time, the light emitted from the light emitter 43 and emitted through the specific display body of the light guide is guided forward more efficiently than the light emitted from the peripheral light emitting unit 20 into the space, and a space of a short distance is obtained. Then, it enters the light diffusion plate 209. For this reason, the part of the character of “Shou”, which is the front shape of the specific display, is displayed with a higher brightness than the peripheral part that is uniformly lit and displayed, and the character of “Shou” with higher impact is viewed. Display with high brightness.

  Thus, the specific display body unit 30 including the light emitter 43 and the specific display body is fixed, the inner case 201 including the light diffusion plate 209 is moved back and forth with respect to the specific display body unit 30, and the light diffusion plate 209 is specified. Even when approaching the front surface of the display unit 30, the front surface of the specific display body is displayed with its brightness increased on the display surface displayed so that the light diffusion plate 209 on the front surface of the inner case 201 shines uniformly. , The characters on the front can be displayed beautifully.
