The lower base member 102 is opened in parallel with the left side (outside) of the lower mounting hole 104 located on the left side corresponding to the movement path of the first lower detection piece 115 accompanying the reciprocation of the first lower movable body 110. The first lower detection piece through hole 102d (detection piece through hole) 102d is provided on the second installation surface portion 102b on the left side (see FIG. 16), and the first lower detection piece through the first lower detection piece through hole 102d. 115 faces the front side of the lower base member 102. The first lower detection means 124 corresponding to the first lower movable body 110 is provided on the rear surface of the second lower LED substrate 174 located on the left side, and a space between the second lower LED substrate 174 and the second installation surface portion 102b. (See FIG. 26). The first lower detection means 124 is disposed on the side of the lower end portion of the lower mounting hole 104, and the first lower detection piece 115 of the first lower movable body 110 at the lower position is used as the first lower detection means. 124 is detected. That is, by arranging the first lower detection unit 124 near one of the lower attachment shafts 112 that support the first lower movable body 110, the origin position of the first lower movable body 110 can be reliably detected.

  The lower base member 102 is connected to the lower portion of the first lower detection piece through hole 102d outside the range of reciprocation of the first lower movable body 110, and is provided on the rear surface of the second lower LED substrate 174 located on the left side. Further, a socket through hole 102e facing the second lower socket (socket) 174a is opened (see FIG. 24). That is, interference with the wiring connected to the second lower socket 174a with the transmission means of the first lower movable body 110 and the second lower drive mechanism can be avoided. The second lower socket 174a of the second lower LED board 174 located on the right side is provided on the rear surface along the game board surface so as to open obliquely downward toward the wiring opening (not shown) of the back unit 30. .

  Next, a configuration for detecting the original position of the second lower movable body 130 will be described. The second lower detection means 126 corresponding to the second lower movable body 130 is provided on the front surface of the second lower LED board 174 located on the right side (see FIG. 26), and the second lower detection piece of the lower inner periphery decoration portion 40. It is accommodated in an expanded portion of the through hole 49 (see FIG. 19). In the embodiment, the second lower detection means 126 detects the second lower detection piece 138 when the second lower movable body 130 whose longitudinal side extends in the left-right direction becomes substantially horizontal. Yes. Although the second lower detection means 126 protrudes forward from the second lower LED board 174, the second lower detection means 126 is housed in an extended portion of the second lower detection piece through-hole 49 of the lower inner peripheral decoration portion 40. The space before and after the installation of the second lower detection means 126 can be shortened by effectively using the space corresponding to the plate thickness of the peripheral decoration portion 40. In the second lower movable body 130, the second lower movable body 130 is shaken by the lower rack 164 by providing the second lower detection piece 138 to be detected by the second lower detection means 126 on the side opposite to the lower coupling shaft 134. The detection piece 138 and the second lower detection means 126 do not interfere with the movement, and erroneous detection in the second lower detection means 126 can be suppressed.

  In the lower effect device 100, the logo LED board socket 147 is decorated to the lower inner circumference via the second lower socket through hole 48 on the left side with respect to the rear portion of the lower support hole 45 protruding from the rear surface of the lower inner decoration portion 40. It faces the rear side of the section 40. In addition, the lower inner peripheral decorative portion 40 is connected to the logo LED board socket 147 on the left side with respect to the rear portion of the lower support hole portion 45 and below the second lower socket through hole 48. A third lower LED board 176 having a third lower socket (socket) 176a on the rear surface is provided (see FIG. 18). Further, on the rear surface of the lower inner periphery decorative portion 40, the lower wiring is located on the right side (on the opposite side of the second lower socket through-hole 48 across the lower support hole 45) with respect to the rear portion of the lower support hole 45. A holder 41 is provided. And the wiring which connects the logo LED board socket 147 and the 3rd lower socket 176a detours around the left side of the rear part of the lower support hole part 45, and the lower wiring holder located in the rear left side of the lower support hole part 45 41 is configured to hold the intermediate portion of the wiring. Specifically, the wiring connected to the logo LED board socket 147 passes from the left side of the lower support hole 45 to the upper side of the lower support hole 45 and turns to the right side of the lower support hole 45 to form the lower support hole 45. It passes through the lower part and is connected to the third lower socket 176a. A lower mounting boss 42 for projecting and fixing the lower inner peripheral decorative portion 40 to the lower base member 102 is formed on the rear surface of the lower inner peripheral decorative portion 40 below the lower support hole 45. The wiring passing below the support hole 45 is held between the rear part of the lower support hole 45 and the lower mounting boss 42.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the lower effect device 100, the logo LED board socket 147 and the third lower socket 176a are arranged in the vertical relationship on the same side, but the upper and lower wirings have the shortest distance. If it is connected to both the sockets 147 and 176a through the wire, it is difficult to secure the wiring length and to perform the attaching / detaching operation to both the sockets 147 and 176a. Also, if the wiring margin is taken for the logo LED board socket 147 that is displaced in the vertical direction, the wiring curved so that the rear side is convex is displaced in the front-rear direction as the logo LED board socket 147 is displaced up and down. There is a risk that the lower base member 102 on the rear side may interfere to hinder the disconnection of the wiring and the swinging of the second lower movable body 130. The lower rendering device 100 of the embodiment can increase the wiring dimension by detouring the wiring in the left-right direction intersecting with the swinging direction of the second lower movable body 130, so both sockets 147. , 176a can be easily attached and detached, and the wiring does not interfere with the displacement of the second lower movable body 130. In addition, the wiring can be curved so as to be convex in the left-right direction (right side in the embodiment), and even if the logo LED board socket 147 is displaced up and down, the wiring is along the rear surface of the lower inner periphery decorative portion 40. Since it is displaced up and down, it can be avoided that the wiring interferes with the lower base member 102.

  Since the lower rendering device 100 rotates the first lower motor 116 in one direction, the rotational displacement of the lower connecting shaft 122 of the lower driven gear 120 is converted into the reciprocating motion of the first lower movable body 110. It is not necessary to rotate the first lower motor 116 forward and backward in order to reciprocate the first lower movable body, and the load and control load on the first lower motor 116 can be reduced. In addition, the first lower movable body 110 extends in the left and right directions, but supports the first lower movable body 110 with the lower connecting shafts 122 and 122 that are provided apart from each other on the left and right sides. Since the lower mounting shafts 112, 112 that are spaced apart from each other on the left and right sides of the first lower movable body 110 are held by the lower base member 102, the first lower movable body 110 can be supported in a well-balanced manner. Even if the size is increased or the operation frequency and operation speed of the first lower movable body 110 are increased, the first lower movable body 110 can be stably operated without rattling. Since the lower effect device 100 includes a plurality of lower LED substrates 172, 174, 176, and 178, in addition to the operation effects of the first lower movable body 110 and the second lower movable body 130, a light emission effect by light is also performed. be able to.

  Since the lower stage production device 100 arranges the lower drive gear 118 and the lower driven gear 120 in the lower mechanism accommodating space 102c of the lower base member 102 and arranges them along the game board surface without overlapping in the front-rear direction. The transmission means for transmitting power from the first lower motor 116 to the first lower movable body 110 does not increase in size in the front-rear direction. Further, since the first lower detection means 124 is provided using the gap between the second LED substrate 174 and the second installation surface portion 102a of the lower base member 102, the first lower detection means 124 protrudes forward or backward. You can avoid that. That is, the lower effect device 100 is compact in the front-rear direction as a whole, and can be installed in a narrow space between the transparent plate 22 and the back unit 30.

  The lower rendering device 100 includes lower mounting holes 104 and 104 that hold the lower mounting shafts 112 and 112 of the first lower movable body 110, a plurality of lower driven gears 120, and a lower drive gear 118. The transmission means for transmitting power from the first lower motor 116 to the first lower movable body 110 is arranged in the operation direction of the first lower movable body 110. Does not increase in size. That is, the lower effect device 100 is compact in the vertical direction as a whole, and can be installed below the display unit 20b without blocking the display unit 20b in a narrow space between the transparent plate 22 and the back unit 30. is there.

  The second lower movable body 130 has long sides extending in the left and right directions, but is provided in a portion separated in the left-right direction along the length of the lower support shaft 132 provided in the central portion and the second lower movable body 130. Since the lower connecting shaft 134 is moved by the lower rack 164 connected to the second lower motor 160 via the lower pinion 162, the length of the second lower movable body 130 can be supported at at least two places. That is, even if the second lower movable body 130 is increased in size and increased in weight due to the incorporation of the logo LED substrate 146, the second lower movable body is appropriately interlocked with the forward / reverse rotation of the second lower motor 160. The body 130 can be rocked stably. In addition, since the second lower movable body 130 connects the lower auxiliary shaft 136 provided on the opposite side with the lower connecting shaft 134 and the lower support shaft 132 interposed therebetween via the lower link 170, It is supported in a balanced manner on the left and right. Therefore, the large second lower movable body 130 capable of producing a light emission effect by the LED 146a can be employed, and the effect produced by the operation of the second lower movable body 130 can be further improved. Further, since the second lower movable body 130 is disposed on the rear side of the transparent plate 22, the second lower movable body 130 does not interfere with the pachinko ball flowing down the game area 20a, and the player watches. The 2nd lower movable body 130 can be arrange | positioned near the start winning opening 25a, and a production effect can be improved more.

  In the second lower movable body 130, the light diffusion portions 142 and 144 provided on the front side of the LED 146a provided on the logo LED substrate 146 are positioned with a space from the LED 146a, and the front light diffusion portion 142 is positioned in the frame portion 140. Since it has a three-dimensional shape having a protrusion 142a protruding from the front wall opening 140c of the front wall 140a, the light irradiated from the LED 146a is appropriately diffused and protrudes toward the front side of the second lower movable body 130 It is visually recognized that the entire 142a emits light. Moreover, since the light diffusing part is composed of a plurality of members that overlap in the front and back, including the light diffusing sheet, the light emitted from the LED 146a can be appropriately diffused by the combination of the light diffusing processes of each light diffusing part The effect of producing light in the second lower movable body 130 can be improved. Further, since the members 142, 144, 146, and 148 constituting the second lower movable body 130 are disposed in the housing space of the frame portion 140 in a state of being positioned by the peripheral wall 140b and the projecting piece 140d, the second lower movable body Even if the body 130 is swung, it is possible to prevent the constituent members 142, 144, 146, 148 of the second lower movable body from rattling. Furthermore, since the side surface and the rear surface of the second lower movable body 130 are constituted by the peripheral wall 140b and the rear wall portion 148 of the opaque frame portion 140, the light of the LED 146a does not leak from portions other than the front surface.

  In addition, since the lower stage production device is configured such that the lower drive mechanism, the first lower movable body 110, and the lower inner periphery decoration portion 40 are attached to the lower base member 102, the lower stage production device can be handled as a unit with the lower base member 102 as a reference. .
