So that they are connected. When the front left protrusion 52 protrudes from the left end and the front right protrusion 54 protrudes from the right end, the left operation element 58 and the right operation element 60 are separated from each other (in the first state). For example, the left operation element 58 is connected to the front left protrusion 52 and the right operation element 60 is connected to the front right protrusion 54.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, the manager of the prize acquisition game device 10 has inserted the thumb of the right hand into the hole of the left operator 58 and the index finger of the right hand into the hole of the right operator 60, for example. In this state, when an operation is performed to pinch the left operating element 58 and the right operating element 60 (an example in the case where an external force is applied), the left operating element 58 and the right operating element 60 are in an approaching state in which they approach each other ( As an example of the second state, the front left protrusion 52 and the front right protrusion 54 change to a non-projection state in which the front left protrusion 52 does not protrude from the left end and the front right protrusion 54 does not protrude from the right end. To do. When the administrator releases the operation of pinching the left operation element 58 and the right operation element 60 (an example when no external force is applied), the front left protrusion 52 and the front right protrusion 54 The front left protrusion 52 protrudes from the left end and the front right protrusion 54 protrudes from the right end by the biasing force of the spring 56, and the left operating element 58 and the right operating element 60 are separated from each other. Return to the state (an example of a change).

  FIGS. 4A and 4B are cross-sectional views of the left connecting portion of the second prize placing portion 27 and the second support portion 30 as viewed from the front. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of left receiving portions 64 (the first receiving portions 64) are formed in the side surface of the second left rail 46 of the second support portion 30 so as to be slightly wider than the cross-sectional area of the front left protruding portion 52. An example of one receiving portion is provided in a line at equal intervals in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 4A, when the front left protrusion 52 is in a protruding state because the second slide operation part 62 is not operated, the tip of the front left protrusion 52 is The left receiving unit 64 (an example of a first receiving unit) accepts the left receiving unit 64. As described above, in this case, the front right projecting portion 54 is also in a projecting state, and although not shown, the front right projecting portion 54 has its front end symmetrical with the plurality of left receiving portions 64 (mirror symmetry). So as to be received by any of a plurality of right receiving portions 66 (an example of a second receiving portion) provided on the side surface of the second right rail 48. Therefore, when the front left protruding portion 52 and the front right protruding portion 54 are in the protruding state, the left end (an example of the fixed position on one side) and the right end (the fixed position on the other side) of the second prize placing portion 27. 2), the second prize placing portion 27 is stably fixed to the second support portion 30 in a non-slidable manner.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the front left protrusion 52 is in a non-protruding state by operating the second slide operation part 62, the tip of the front left protrusion 52 is left The receiving unit 64 is not accepted. As described above, in this case, the front right projecting portion 54 is also in a non-projecting state, and although not shown, the front end of the front right projecting portion 54 is not received by the right receiving portion 66. And as shown in FIG.4 (B), the wheel 40 of the horizontal axis provided in the left end side surface of the 2nd main-body part 50, and the wheel 40 of the vertical axis provided in the left end lower surface of the 2nd main-body part 50 are the following. It contacts the second left rail 46 of the second support part 30. Although not shown, the horizontal axis wheel 40 provided on the right end side surface of the second main body 50 and the vertical axis wheel 40 provided on the lower right side bottom surface of the second main body part 50 are Contact the second right rail 48. Accordingly, when the front left protrusion 52 and the front right protrusion 54 are in the non-projection state, the second prize placing portion 27 can be smoothly slid relative to the second support portion 30.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the front left protrusion 52 and the front right protrusion 54 are the second prize placing portion 27 when the left operator 58 and the right operator 60 are separated from each other. When the left operating element 58 and the right operating element 60 are in an approaching state, the second prize placing part 27 is moved to the second supporting part 30. 2 It becomes a slide permission state which enables sliding with respect to the support part 30. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the administrator or the like holds the second prize placing unit 27 with one hand by holding the left operation element 58 and the right operation element 60 with one hand and moving their hands in the front-rear direction. Can be slid back and forth. Of the plurality of sets of left receiving portions 64 and right receiving portions 66 provided symmetrically on the first right rail 44 and the second left rail 46, any one set of the left receiving portion 64 and the right receiving portion 66 is provided. By aligning the positions of the front left protrusion 52 and the front right protrusion 54 with the position where the left operator 58 is provided and releasing the operation of pinching the left operator 58 and the right operator 60, the second prize is placed at an arbitrary position.
