The The light incident on the refracting portion 60 is refracted from the inclined surfaces of the protrusions 60 a and 60 a formed in the mountain shape of the refracting portion 60 and emitted to the outside, and this light is provided on the fixing decorative cover member 52. The light is reflected by the main and sub reflecting portions 58 and 59 and the back surface of the front wall 52 a and returns to the refracting portion 60. The light incident again on the refracting portion 60 is introduced into the main body portion 53a and travels along the plate surface, and the fixing reflection sheet 62 facing the back surface of the main body portion 53a and the side wall 56b of the fixing base member 56. The light is reflected by a reflection surface such as an inner surface and emitted forward from the front surface of the main body 53a that has not been subjected to the light diffusion process. The light emitted forward illuminates the light transmitting portion 52 c of the decorative decorative cover member 52 from the back side through the fixing transparent member 57.

  The fixing LED substrates 55 and 134 in the left fixed light emitting effect device 47 are arranged so as to extend in parallel with the front wall 52a of the fixing decorative cover member 52 as shown in FIG. The space for disposing the fixing LED substrates 55 and 134 required on the back side of the member 52 can be reduced, and the left fixed light emitting effect device 47 can be thinned. The light emitted from the LEDs 54 of the fixing LED substrates 55 and 134 is refracted by the refracting portion 60, further reflected by the main and sub reflecting portions 58 and 59, etc., and returned to the refracting portion 60, and then the fixing decoration. Since the light is introduced into the main body portion 53a of the fixing transmission member 53 extending in parallel with the cover member 52 from the end side, the incident angle of light with respect to the main body portion 53a becomes random, and the light is entirely within the main body portion 53a. The entire decorative cover member 52 for fixing can be illuminated by a small number of LEDs 54. That is, the entire fixed decorative cover member 52 can be illuminated by a small number of LEDs 54 while the left fixed light emitting effect device 47 is thinned.

  Since the light from each LED 54 is introduced into the main body 53a of the fixing light transmitting member 53 and emitted from the wide surface (front surface) of the main body 53a, the light from the LED 54 is emitted from the fixing decorative cover member 52. It does not appear as spotlight at the transmission part 52c, and the production effect is not impaired. Further, since the back surface of the main body portion 53a of the fixing light transmitting member 53 is subjected to a light diffusion process, the light introduced into the main body portion 53a can be diffused, and the light from the LED 54 is linear. Can be suppressed.

  In the left fixed light emitting effect device 47, the fixing light transmission member 53 and the fixing LED substrates 55 and 134 are defined between the fixing decorative cover member 52 and the fixing base member 56 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the light transmitting part 52c of the fixing decorative cover member 52 can be efficiently illuminated without leaking light emitted from the LEDs 54 of the fixing LED substrates 55 and 134 to the back side.

  When the left fixed light emission effect device 47 emits light, the plurality of LEDs 54 arranged on the fixing LED boards 55 and 134 are controlled to change light emission step by step in the arrangement order. In this case, as described above, the light from each LED 54 is introduced into the main body 53a of the fixing light transmitting member 53 from the end via the refracting portion 60, and the entire main body 53a emits light ( Since the boundary due to the light emission of the adjacent LEDs 54 and 54 is difficult to understand, the light-emitting effect is produced with a gradation of flowing light through the light transmitting portion 52c of the decorative cover member 52 for fixing. And the light emission effect can be improved.

  Since the plurality of LEDs 54 of the fixing LED substrates 55 and 134 are set to be spaced apart from each other at a constant interval and to the refracting portion 60, the LEDs 54 are irradiated to the refracting portion 60. The light conditions are the same, and the gradation due to the light of each LED 54 on the fixing LED substrates 55 and 134 can be expressed as more seamless. In addition, since the back surface of the main body portion 53a of the fixing light transmitting member 53 is subjected to light diffusion processing, when performing the light emission effect by gradation, the light from the LED 54 is further diffused and the gradation is expressed evenly. can do. Further, in the embodiment, the front surface of the fixing reflection sheet 62 covering the back surface of the main body portion 53a of the fixing light transmitting member 53 is subjected to a process for changing the color appearance depending on the light irradiation angle. On the other hand, coupled with the fact that the incident angle of the light introduced through the refracting unit 60 varies, a colorful light emission effect can be achieved even when a single color LED is used. That is, the cost required for the light emission effect can be kept low.

(About the effect of the side effect unit)
Since the actions of the left and right side effect units 73 and 74 operated in accordance with the effect of the symbol variation game are the same, the action of the left side effect unit 73 will be described. In the left side effect unit 73, when the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 face the first position, as shown in FIG. And cannot be seen from the front side. The front movable light emitting effect device 78 prevents the permanent magnet 105 from being magnetically attached to the metal plate 106 and moving to the inside of the window 36a of the frame-shaped decorative body 36 due to vibration or the like. . As for the rear movable light emitting effect device 77, the driven gear 101 of the rear support member 100 meshes with the drive gear 83 connected to the motor 79. It does not move to the inside of the window 36a of the decorative body 36, and the production devices 77 and 78 are prevented from jumping out inside the window 36a when not intended regardless of the symbol variation game.

  When the motor 79 of the left side effect unit 73 is driven and the driven gear 101 of the rear support member 100 is rotated in the forward direction via the drive gear 83, the rear movable light emitting effect device 77 is moved from the first position to the second position. Moved towards position. At the first position of the front movable light emitting effect device 78, the engagement protrusion 100b of the rear movable light emission effect device 77 facing the first position is located in the middle in the left-right direction of the engagement hole 102b, so When the light emitting effect device 77 is moved rightward toward the second position by driving the motor 79, the engaging protrusion 100b moves in the engagement hole 102b, and the front movable light emitting effect device 78 is connected to the metal plate. The first magnet 106 is held at the first position where the permanent magnet 105 is magnetized. That is, only the rear movable light emitting effect device 78 moves to the inside of the window 36a of the frame-shaped decorative body 36 and becomes visible from the front side.

  When the engagement projection 100b comes into contact with the right end portion of the engagement hole 102b by the movement of the rear movable light emission effect device 77, the front movable against the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 105 with the movement of the rear movable light emission effect device 77. The light emitting effect device 78 moves to the right integrally. In other words, the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 are moved inward in the left-right direction and moved to the inside of the window 36a of the frame-shaped decorative body 36 and can be viewed from the front side. When the driving gear 83 rotates by a predetermined angle and the rear movable light emitting effect device 77 arrives at the second position, the motor 79 is controlled to stop, and the front and rear movable light effect devices 77 and 78 are held at the second position. The As shown in FIG. 20, when the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 reach the second position, the left fixed light emitting effect device 47, the front movable light emitting effect device 78, and the rear movable light emitting effect device 77 are moved in the left-right direction. As a result, the left half of the display unit of the symbol display device 13 is substantially covered. If the LEDs 54, 91, 91 of the left fixed light emitting effect device 47, the front movable light effect device 78, and the rear movable light effect device 77 are caused to emit light in this state, substantially the entire left half of the game area 27 in the game board 26. Can produce a light emission effect. Similarly, in the right side effect unit 74, if the LEDs 54, 91, 91 are caused to emit light while the front and rear movable light effect devices 77, 78 are held at the second position, the entire game area 27 is emitted. can do.

  When the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 are stopped and held at the second position, when the motor 79 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction, the drive gear 83 and the driven gear 101 rotate in the reverse direction, The rear movable light emitting effect device 77 moves from the second position toward the first position. At this time, since the center of gravity position is set so that the front movable light emitting effect device 78 always returns toward the second position due to its own weight, when the rear movable light emitting effect device 77 moves toward the first position. The front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 are integrally moved while the engagement protrusion 100b is in contact with the right end portion of the engagement hole 102b. Then, after the permanent magnet 105 of the front movable light emitting effect device 78 is magnetically attached to the metal plate 106 and the front movable light emitting effect device 78 is held at the first position, only the rear movable light emitting effect device 77 moves, When the detection piece 101b of the rear support member 100 is detected by the detection means 109, the motor 79 is controlled to be stopped, and the rear movable light emission effect device 77 is held at the first position.

  In the gaming board 26 according to the embodiment, the back unit base 45 is attached to the back side of the transparent plate member 28, so that the fixed light emitting effect devices 47 and 48 arranged on the base 45 are placed in the game area on the back side of the plate member 28. 27. That is, large fixed light-emitting effect devices 47 and 48 can be arranged around the outer periphery of the window 36a of the frame-shaped decorative body 36 without narrowing the game area 27, and an impact light-emitting effect can be performed. Further, by attaching the back unit box 46 to the back side of the back unit base 45, the left and right side effect units 73, 74 arranged in the box 46 are placed on the rear side of the corresponding left and right fixed light emitting effect devices 47, 48. It is located. Each side effect unit 73, 74 includes movable light emitting effect devices 77, 78 arranged in a front-rear relationship, and both movable light effect effect devices 77, 78 are located on the rear side of the fixed light emitting effect devices 47, 48. Therefore, it is possible to increase the size of the device that produces effects by the operation without narrowing the game area 27.

  Since the fixed light emitting effect devices 47 and 48 are disposed on the back unit base 45 and the side effect units 73 and 74 are disposed on the back unit box 46, the fixed light emitting effect devices 47 and 48 and the side effect effects are provided. Compared with the case where the units 73 and 74 are arranged on one base, the configuration of the base 45 and the box 46 itself can be simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced as a whole. In addition, the mounting accuracy with respect to the back unit base 45 and the back unit box 46 corresponding to the fixed light emitting effect devices 47 and 48 and the side effect effect units 73 and 74 can be improved as compared with a configuration in which a plurality of devices are mounted on one base. The fixed light emission effect devices 47 and 48 and the side effect effect units 73 and 74 can be arranged at appropriate positions.

  In the side effect units 73 and 74, the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 are configured to be swung by a single motor 79, so that the number of parts and assembly man-hours can be reduced and the installation space can be reduced. It becomes possible. Further, in the side effect units 73 and 74 of the embodiment, the gap between the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 is configured to be secured by the protrusions 108, so that the side effect units 73 and 74 are suspended (cantilevered) on the support shaft 84. Even so, the relative movement of the both movable light-emitting effect devices 77 and 78 can be performed smoothly. That is, it is possible to increase the size of the rendering devices 77 and 78 while ensuring the smooth movement of the movable light emitting rendering devices 77 and 78. Further, since the projection 108 secures a gap between the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78, the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 are moved by the movement of the devices 77 and 78 or vibration applied to the pachinko machine 10. The direct contact between the cover member 85 and the base member 86 of the 78 is prevented, and the occurrence of a situation such as damage to both the devices 77 and 78 can be prevented.

(About wiring protection measures)
In the left side effect unit 73, the left wiring 111, one end of which is connected to the sockets 92a, 92a of the movable LED boards 92, 92 of the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77, 78 via plugs 111a, 111a, The wiring body 81 is pulled out through the wiring through hole 81 b of the mounting body 81 and the left first wiring hole 110 of the back unit box 46, and the other end is connected to the upper relay substrate 112. Further, the movement allowing portion 111b in the left wiring 111 drawn out to the back side of the back unit box 46 is housed in the left case body 113 disposed on the back surface of the box 46 (see FIG. 30). ). When the movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 swing in the left-right direction, the movement allowing portion 111b of the left wiring 111 follows and moves, thereby connecting the sockets 92a and 92a and the plugs 111a and 111a. A large load is not applied to the portion, and the plugs 111a and 111a are prevented from coming off from the sockets 92a and 92a. At this time, the movement allowance part 111b of the left wiring 111 drawn out to the back side of the back unit box 46 is accommodated in the left case body 113, and the movement allowance part 111b is outward from the outer edge of the game board 26. It is regulated to extend to. That is, when the movement allowance part 111b moves, the left case body 113 can prevent the left case body 113 from extending from the outer edge of the game board 26 and being caught by the parts on the middle frame side. It is possible to prevent the left wiring 111 from being obstructed and the connection portion of the left wiring 111 from being disconnected. Further, as shown in FIG. 23 or FIG. 25, the wiring through hole 81b through which the left wiring 111 connected to the socket 92a is led out is located above the socket 92a, and the connection port of the socket 92a is connected to the socket 92a. Since the posture is directed obliquely upward, the left wiring 111 connected to the socket 92a can be routed to the wiring through hole 81b without forcibly bending. Therefore, even when the movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 swing in the left-right direction, it is possible to further suppress the application of a large load in the vicinity of the left wiring 111 connected to the socket 92a.

  In the game board 26 of the embodiment, the left side effect unit 73 is swingably disposed at the upper corner of the back unit box 46 via the support shaft 84, so The left wiring 111 having one end connected to the movable LED substrates 92 and 92 to be disposed needs to be drawn out from the upper corner of the back unit box 46 to the back side for processing. That is, the left wiring 111 drawn to the back side is routed near the outer edge of the back unit box 46 (near the outer edge of the game board 26), and the left wiring 111 is sandwiched when the game board 26 is attached to the middle frame 12. There is a risk of getting caught. However, in the game board 26 according to the embodiment, the movement allowing portion 111b of the left wiring 111 drawn out to the back side of the back unit box 46 is accommodated in the left case body 113 so as to extend outward from the outer edge of the back unit box 46. Accordingly, the left wiring 111 can be prevented from being caught or caught when the game board 26 is attached to the middle frame 12, and the workability of attaching the game board 26 can be improved. In addition, since the movement of the movement allowing portion 111b itself is allowed in the left case body 113, it does not hinder the swinging of the movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78.

  In the left side effect unit 73, the motor 79 that does not move when the movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 swing and the other wiring 118 having one end connected to the detection means 109 are formed in the back unit box 46. After being pulled out to the back side through the left second wiring hole 119, the other end is connected to the upper relay substrate 112. That is, by changing the routing route between the left wiring 111 that moves when the movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 swing and the other wiring 118 that does not move, the movement allowing portion 111b of the left wiring 111 can be moved. It is possible to prevent interference with other wirings 118 when moving during the swing of 78. As a result, it is possible to prevent the movement of the movement-permitting part 111b from being hindered by the movement-permitting part 111b of the left wiring 111 and the other wiring 118 being tangled.

  Further, a portion of the left wiring 111 facing the inside of the left case body 113 is bound to the left wiring binding piece 114 disposed in the back unit box 46 via a binding tool, and the lead is connected from the binding portion. The left wiring 111 pulled out from the left case body 113 through the outlet 113a is connected to the locking hook 117 together with the other wiring 115 connected at one end to the upper relay board 112 and connected to the lower relay board 112. It has been stopped. That is, since the left wiring 111 is bundled with the left wiring binding piece 114 before being combined with the other wiring 115, the movement of the movement allowing portion 111b moves to the left wiring 111 between the binding portion and the upper relay substrate 112. It does not act, and the left wiring 111 can be prevented from being entangled with the other wiring 115 and hindering the movement of the movement allowing portion 111b. Further, since it is not necessary to provide a locking hook for separately locking the left wiring 111 and the other wiring 115, it is possible to contribute to simplification of the configuration and cost reduction.

  Since the operation relating to the wiring protection in the right side effect unit 74 is basically the same as that in the left side effect unit 73, only different parts will be described. That is, in the right side effect unit 74, the other wiring 124 whose one end is connected to the motor 79 and the detecting means 109 that do not move when the movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 swing is connected to the rear unit box 46 as shown in FIG. The other end is connected to the upper relay board 112 after being pulled out to the back side through the right second wiring hole 125 formed on the right case body and locked to the right locking portion 122b provided on the back surface of the right case body 122. ing. That is, by changing the routing route between the right wiring 121 that moves when the movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 swing and the other wiring 124 that does not move, the movement allowing portion 121b of the right wiring 121 can be moved. It is possible to prevent interference with other wirings 124 when moving during the swing of 78. As a result, it is possible to prevent the movement of the movement permission portion 121b from being hindered by the movement permission portion 121b of the right wiring 121 and the other wiring 124 being tangled. The movement allowing portion 121b of the right wiring 121 drawn out to the back side of the back unit box 46 is also housed in the right case body 122 so as not to extend outward from the outer edge of the back unit box 46. Therefore, the right wiring 121 can be prevented from being caught and caught when the game board 26 is attached to the middle frame 12, and the workability of attaching the game board 26 can be improved.

  A plurality of left locking portions 113b are formed on the outside of the left case body 113 disposed in the back unit box 46, and the left locking portions 113b are used for locking various wirings. . That is, the left case body 113 has only a function of preventing the movement allowance portion 111b of the left wiring 111, to which the movement allowance portion 111b moves in accordance with the swinging of the movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78, from protruding from the outer edge of the game board 26. In addition, since it has a function of locking various wirings, the structure of the box 46 can be simplified as compared with the case where locking pieces only for locking various wirings are provided in the back unit box 46. . Further, the left case portion 113b is formed in advance at a plurality of locations in the left case body 113 where the wiring is likely to be routed in accordance with the change or increase in the arrangement position of various electrical components with respect to the back unit box 46. Therefore, it is possible to cope with the design change without replacing the case body itself.

(About the lighting effect of the movable lighting effect device)
Since the front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 that produce a light emission effect according to the effect of the symbol variation game are the same, the operation of the rear movable light emission effect device 77 will be described. That is, when the LED 91 of the movable LED substrate 92 disposed in the rear movable light emitting effect device 77 is caused to emit light, the light is irradiated toward the back surface of the refracting portion 95 of the movable light transmitting member 89. The light incident on the refracting portion 95 is refracted from the inclined surface of the protrusion 95a formed in the trapezoidal shape of the refracting portion 95 and emitted to the outside, and this light is supplied to the movable decorative cover member 85. The light is reflected by the sub reflecting portions 93 and 93 and the back surface of the front wall 85 a and returns to the refracting portion 95. The light incident again on the refracting portion 95 is introduced into the main body 89a and travels along the plate surface, and the movable reflecting sheet 90 and the side wall 86b of the movable base member 86 facing the back surface of the main body 89a. The light is reflected by a reflective surface such as the inner surface and emitted forward from the front surface of the main body 89a that has not been subjected to the light diffusion process. The light emitted forward illuminates the light transmitting portion 85 c of the movable decorative cover member 85 from the back side through the movable transparent member 88.

  Since the movable LED substrate 92 in the rear movable light emitting effect device 77 is disposed so as to extend in parallel with the front wall 85a of the movable decorative cover member 85, as shown in FIG. The space for disposing the movable LED substrate 92 required on the back side of the rear light emitting device can be reduced, and the rear movable light emitting effect device 77 can be thinned. Further, after the light emitted from the LED 91 of each movable LED substrate 92 is refracted by the refracting portion 95 and further reflected by the main and sub reflecting portions 93 and 94 and returned to the refracting portion 95, the movable decorative cover is provided. Since the light is introduced into the main body 89a of the movable transmission member 89 extending in parallel with the member 85 from the end side, the incident angle of light with respect to the main body 89a becomes random, and the light is entirely within the main body 89a. The entirety of the movable decorative cover member 85 can be illuminated by the LED 91 that is widened and few. That is, the entire movable decorative cover member 85 can be illuminated by a small number of LEDs 91 while the rear movable light emitting effect device 77 is thinned.

  Since the light of each LED 91 is introduced into the main body 89a of the movable light transmitting member 89 and is emitted from the wide surface (front surface) of the main body 89a, the light from the LED 91 is emitted from the movable decorative cover member 85. It does not appear as spotlight at the transmission part 85c, and the production effect is not impaired. In addition, since the back surface of the main body 89a of the movable light transmitting member 89 is subjected to a light diffusion process, the light introduced into the main body 89a can be diffused, and the light from the LED 91 is linear. Can be suppressed.

  In the rear movable light emitting effect device 77, a movable light emitting transmission member 89 and a movable LED substrate 92 are defined between a movable decorative cover member 85 and a movable base member 86 as shown in FIG. 87, the light transmitting portion 85c of the movable decorative cover member 85 can be efficiently illuminated without leaking light emitted from the LED 91 of the movable LED substrate 92 to the back side. However, since the first heat radiation port 98 is formed on the wall on the side where the movable LED substrate 92 is disposed, it is possible to prevent heat from being accumulated in the space 87. Further, since the second heat radiation port 99 is formed in the movable base member 86 corresponding to the resistor 97 disposed on the back surface of the movable LED substrate 92, it is possible to prevent the resistor 97 from generating heat and break down. Can be prevented.

  In the light emission effect by the rear movable light emission effect device 77, the plurality of LEDs 91 arranged on the movable LED substrate 92 are controlled to change the light emission step by step in the arrangement order. In this case, as described above, the light from each LED 91 is introduced into the main body 89a of the movable light transmitting member 89 from the end via the refracting portion 95, and the entire main body 89a emits light ( Since the boundary due to the light emission of the adjacent LEDs 91 and 91 is difficult to understand, the light-emitting effect is produced with a gradation of light that flows seamlessly through the light transmitting portion 85c of the movable decorative cover member 85. And the light emission effect can be improved.

  Since the plurality of LEDs 91 of the movable LED substrate 92 are set to be spaced apart from each other at a constant interval and to the refracting portion 95, the light emitted from each LED 91 to the refracting portion 95 is set. The conditions are the same, and the gradation by the light of each LED 91 on the movable LED substrate 92 can be expressed as a more seamless one. In addition, since the back surface of the main body 89a of the movable light transmitting member 89 is subjected to a light diffusion process, the light from the LED 91 is more diffused to express gradation evenly when performing a light emission effect by gradation. can do. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the front surface of the movable reflection sheet 90 that covers the back surface of the main body 89a in the movable light transmitting member 89 is subjected to a process of changing the color appearance depending on the light irradiation angle. On the other hand, coupled with the fact that the incident angle of light introduced through the refracting portion 95 varies, a colorful light emission effect can be achieved even when a single color LED is used. That is, the cost required for the light emission effect can be kept low.

  The front and rear movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 constituting the side effect units 73 and 74 have the movable LED substrate 92 arranged in parallel with the movable decorative cover member 85 and the main body of the movable light transmitting member 89. Since the light of the LED 91 of the movable LED substrate 92 is introduced from the end portion through the refracting portion 95 to the 89a, the respective thinning is achieved, so that the two movable light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 are provided. Even if they are arranged so as to overlap in the front-rear direction, the overall front-rear dimension can be kept small. Further, in the embodiment, the fixed light emitting effect devices 47 and 48 arranged on the front side of the side effect units 73 and 74 are similarly thinned. Even if the light emitting effect devices 77 and 78 are arranged so as to overlap each other, the thickness dimension of the game board itself can be kept small.

(Example of change)
The present application is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and other configurations can be appropriately employed.

(1) In the embodiment, in the light emitting effect device, a refracting portion is provided at the end of the main body portion of the light transmitting member, and the light refracted by the refracting portion is introduced into the main body portion from the end side. The configuration of FIG. 35 can be adopted. That is, the main body of the light emitting effect device is composed of a cover member 126 in which a light transmitting portion capable of transmitting light is formed, and a non-light-transmitting base member 127 assembled on the back side of the cover member 126. A transparent plate-like light transmission member 129 is accommodated in parallel with the cover member 126 in a space 128 defined between 126 and 127. In addition, an opening 127 a that opens in the front-rear direction is formed at one end of the base member 127, and the LED substrate 130 is disposed in parallel with the cover member 126 so as to close the back side of the opening 127 a. On the mounting surface facing the front side of the LED substrate 130, an LED (light emitter) 131 facing the opening 127a is disposed.

  In the space 128, a reflecting member 132 that reflects light emitted forward from the LED 131 toward the other end side of the light transmitting member 129 at a position corresponding to the opening 127 a of the base member 127. The light transmitting member 129 is disposed along the end surface. The reflecting member 132 is formed of a non-light-transmitting resin material and has substantially the same length as the opening 127a. The reflecting member 132 has a surface facing the opening 127a of the base member 127 from the opening 127a. It forms so that it may incline toward the other end part toward the front as it leaves | separates, and this inclined surface becomes the reflective surface 132a. The reflection surface 132a faces the front side of the LED 131, and the light emitted from the LED 131 toward the reflection surface 132a is reflected toward the other end of the light transmitting member 129 on the reflection surface 132a. It is.

  That is, when the LED 131 emits light, the light passes through the light transmitting member 129 and reaches the reflecting surface 132a of the reflecting member 132, and the light reflected by the reflecting surface 132a is introduced into the light transmitting member 129 from the end surface. . The light introduced into the light transmissive member 129 travels along the plate surface of the light transmissive member 129 toward the other end, is reflected by the inner surface (reflective surface) of the base member 127, and the light transmissive member 129. The light is emitted forward from the front surface that is not subjected to the light reflecting process, and the light transmitting portion of the cover member 126 is illuminated from the back side.

  Also in this modified example, the LED board 131 is arranged so as to extend in parallel with the cover member 126, so that the arrangement space of the LED board 131 required on the back side of the cover member 126 is reduced. Therefore, the light emitting effect device can be thinned. Further, since the light emitted from the LED 131 is introduced from the end surface side into the light transmitting member 129 extending in parallel with the cover member 126 on the reflecting surface 132a of the reflecting member 132, the light is transmitted within the light transmitting member 129. The entire cover member 126 can be illuminated by a small number of LEDs 131. That is, the entire cover member 126 can be illuminated by a small number of LEDs 131 while the light emitting effect device is thinned.
