JP 2004-066552 A

  However, in a conventional gaming machine, since the movable body that moves is relatively small, there is no particular problem even if the movable body swings somewhat, but if the movable body is larger, its base end portion Even if there is little shaking at the tip, the amount of movement due to the shaking increases at the tip part away from the base end part, and it may come into contact with the production display device or other members, causing a malfunction or desired due to the shaking of the movable body There is a problem in that the production operation of the player cannot be obtained and the interest of the player is lowered.

  Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present invention prevents a swing of a movable body, thereby making it possible to surely perform a desired performance operation and prevent a decrease in interest or a malfunction. The issue is to provide a machine.

Mean 1: In the gaming machine,
“A guide member extending in a predetermined direction;
A guided member that is rotatable about the axis of the guiding member and guided and guided by the guiding member;
Moving means for moving the guided member in the extending direction of the guiding member while being guided and guided by the guiding member;
One end is held by the guided member that is moved by the moving means, and a supporting member that extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the guiding member;
A movable body supported by the support member;
The guide member is disposed at a position that is substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the support member that supports the movable body extends, and prevents the guided member from rotating about the axis of the guide member. A game machine characterized by comprising an anti-rotation means.

  Here, the “guide member” may be any member that can guide the guided member in a predetermined direction, such as “a cross-sectional shape that is circular or polygonal and continuously extending in a predetermined direction”, “a cross-sectional shape that is circular. A shape or a polygonal shape that extends discontinuously in a predetermined direction (arranged at a predetermined interval) ”, and the like. Examples of the “guidance guidance” include guidance guided when the guiding member and the guided member slide relative to each other, guidance guided when one of them rolls, and the like.

  Further, as the “moving means”, “having a pulley including a sprocket arranged away from the extending direction of the guide member and a belt including a chain wound around the pulley, and moves together with the belt by the rotation of the pulley. "A thing to be moved", "A screw member extending in the extending direction of the guide member and a nut member screwed to the screw member and moved by rotating the screw member and the nut member relative to each other", "Guide Examples thereof include a solenoid having a plunger that moves forward and backward in the extending direction of the member, or a cylinder that has a piston, and a “moving by a linear motor that extends in the extending direction of the guiding member”. When a belt or chain is used as the moving means, the moving speed can be increased and the impact can be increased. Further, when a screw member or the like is used as the moving means, the positioning accuracy is high and a delicate movement can be performed.

  In addition, the “movable body” includes “a movable article that is arranged so as to come into contact with the game medium and can change the movement of the game medium”, and “is arranged so as not to come into contact with the game medium. A decorative movable body that can produce an effect ”and the like. The “movable body” may be a character body in which a part or the whole of a predetermined character such as a doll or an animal shape is three-dimensionally shaped. Further, the “support member” may be formed integrally with the “movable body” or may be formed separately.

  Further, as the “rotation preventing means”, “the guide member arranged substantially parallel to the extending direction of the guide member and the movement in the direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the guide member guided by the guide member are restricted. And a member to be guided ”. In addition, the thing which can support the weight of a to-be-guided member etc. also by a rotation prevention means may be sufficient.

  Further, the “extending direction of the guide member” includes “a direction substantially along the surface of the game board having a game area into which the game medium is driven by the player's operation”, and “the game medium is operated by the player's operation”. "A direction that is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the game board having the game area to be driven in", "A direction that is oblique to the surface of the game board having the game area in which the game medium is driven by the player's operation", Etc. In addition, when the “extending direction of the guide member” is set to a direction substantially along the surface of the game board, the amount of movement of the movable body can be increased as much as possible, and the entertainment is further enhanced. be able to. In addition, when the “extending direction of the guide member” is a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the game board, the movable body can be moved with a depth.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine, since the size of the movable body is relatively small, the movable body is difficult to stand out, and there is a possibility that the effect of the movable body cannot be obtained. In view of this, it is conceivable to make the movable body stand out by increasing the size of the movable body so as to enhance the effect of the movement of the movable body. However, the movable body in the conventional gaming machine has, for example, a linear rack gear, and the movable body moves in the direction in which the rack gear extends by rotating a pinion gear meshing with the rack gear by a motor. . The rack gear is guided with a predetermined play so as to move in the extending direction, and the movable body can swing by the amount of play. For this reason, when the size of the movable body is relatively small, even if the movable body shakes, it is difficult to understand the vibration, but when the movable body is enlarged, the movable body becomes more noticeable as a whole and can be moved by unintentional vibration. There is a risk that the performance operation of the body is impaired and the desired production effect cannot be exhibited.

  In addition, when the movable body is made larger so that the movable body is conspicuous and the production effect by the movement of the movable body can be enhanced, if the movable body is enlarged, the shaking at the guided base end portion is reduced. However, the vibration at the distal end portion away from the base end portion becomes large, and there is a possibility that a malfunction such as damage occurs due to the movable body coming into contact with the effect display device or other members.

  Therefore, by reducing the play of the guide part that guides the movable body so as to move in a predetermined direction, the vibration at the base end portion is reduced as much as possible, and the vibration at the distal end portion of the movable body is suppressed. It is possible to do so. However, in this case, it is necessary to increase the dimensional accuracy of the guide portion, which causes a problem that the processing cost of the guide portion increases and becomes expensive.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to suppress shaking of the movable body by guiding and supporting it at both ends of the movable body and moving it in a predetermined direction. However, in this case, since the support portions at both ends of the movable body are guided, the support portions arranged at separate positions must be moved in synchronization with each other, and the movable body is moved. There is a problem that the mechanism becomes complicated and the overall size is increased, and the degree of freedom of installation in the gaming machine is reduced and the cost is increased.

  According to the configuration of the means 1, the guiding member extending in a predetermined direction, the guided member guided and guided by the guiding member, the moving means for moving the guided member, and one end of the guided member are held by the guided member. A support member extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis, a movable body supported by the support member, and disposed at a position substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the support member from the guiding member to prevent rotation of the guided member. Rotation preventing means.

  As a result, since the guided member is prevented from rotating around the axis of the guiding member by the rotation preventing means, even if the guided member is moved by the moving means, it is held by the guided member via the support member. It is possible to satisfactorily prevent the movable body (for example, the decorative movable body, the accessory movable body, etc.) from rotating around the axis of the guide member, that is, swinging around the axis, and suppressing unintentional shake. It is possible to surely perform a desired performance operation, to prevent a decrease in interest, and to make the movable body larger, making the movable body more conspicuous and movable body The production effect can be further enhanced.

  Further, even if the movable body is enlarged, the anti-rotation means can prevent the shake well, so that the movable body can be prevented from coming into contact with other members such as an effect display device. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a malfunction due to damage or wear of the movable body or other members.

  Furthermore, since the rotation prevention means is provided, the guided member can be prevented from rotating and swinging around the axis of the guiding member without increasing the dimensional accuracy between the guiding member and the guided member. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the processing accuracy of the guide member or the guided member, and it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the movable body from swinging without increasing the cost.

  Further, the guided member holds the one end of the supporting member to support the movable body, that is, the movable body is cantilevered by the guided member via the supporting member, and then the one end of the movable body is supported. Since the guide member guides and guides in a predetermined direction on the side, only one mechanism for moving the guided member is required, and compared with a case where both ends of the movable body are supported and guided at both ends. Thus, it is not necessary to provide a complicated mechanism in which both ends move in the same manner in synchronism with each other, and it is possible to suppress an increase in size as a whole, and it is easy to provide a gaming machine, and a guided member, that is, a movable body It can suppress that the cost concerning the mechanism for moving is increased.

  In the case where the game machine is provided with an effect display device capable of displaying a predetermined effect image, the guide member, the rotation fixing means, etc. are arranged on the outer periphery of the effect display device, and the support member is disposed on the front side of the effect display device. Can be arranged so that the movable body moves on the front side (player side) of the effect display device, thereby making it possible to make a gaming machine with an unprecedented impact and moving The body can make the player more entertaining and entertaining.

  By the way, various directions can be considered as the direction in which the rotation preventing means is arranged with respect to the extending direction of the supporting member held by the guided member. When the rotation preventing means is arranged on the opposite side of the member extending side from the extending side of the member, the movable body, the guiding member, and the rotation preventing means are arranged in this order. There arises a problem that the length in the extending direction becomes longer as a whole. Further, when the rotation preventing means is arranged on the extending side of the support member, there is a portion where the support member and the rotation prevention means wrap, so that in some cases, the rotation preventing means is provided on the movable body supported by the support member. Therefore, the problem that a movable body becomes small correspondingly occurs. However, according to this means, since the rotation preventing means is disposed at a position that is substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the support member from the guide member, the length of the support member in the extending direction is increased. In addition to being able to suppress, it is possible to prevent the rotation preventing means from being applied to the movable body. Thereby, the length of the extending direction of the support member of the movable body can be made as long as possible, and by realizing a larger movable body, it can be more interesting than an impact. .

  In addition, the moving direction of the guided member, that is, the movable body such as the movable article or the decorative movable body, is set to a direction substantially along the surface of the game board having a game area in which a game medium is driven in the gaming machine. Is desirable. Specifically, when the movable body is moved in the vertical direction, the game medium that has been driven flows down from the top to the bottom of the game area, so that the movable body is moved in the vertical direction substantially the same as the flow direction of the game medium. By moving it, it is easy for the player to move his / her line of sight between the game medium and the movable body, and it is possible to prevent the player from getting tired at an early stage and to prevent the interest from deteriorating. In addition, when the movable body is moved in the left-right direction, the movable body moves in a direction perpendicular to the flowing direction of the game medium flowing down. Changes greatly, and it becomes possible to raise tension and to prevent interest from deteriorating.

  Further, the moving means may be configured integrally with the guide member and the guided member, or the moving means may be configured integrally with the rotation preventing means, and thereby the same effect as described above can be achieved. In addition, the configuration of the moving means can be simplified.

  Furthermore, the movable body may be a character body in which a part or the whole of a predetermined character is three-dimensionally shaped, and the character body makes a complicated movement, so that a strong impact can be given to the player. Can be enhanced.

Means 2: In the constitution of means 1,
"The rotation preventing means is
A guide member that extends in substantially the same direction as the extending direction of the guide member and is disposed at a predetermined distance from the guide member;
The guide member includes a guided member that is controlled to move in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the guide member by the guide member and is held by the guided member.

  Here, as the “guide member”, “a cross-sectional shape is circular or polygonal and extends continuously in a predetermined direction”, “a cross-sectional shape is circular or polygonal and extends discontinuously in a predetermined direction (predetermined Are arranged at intervals of “)” and the like. The “guided member” includes “a member guided by abutting against the outer surface of the guide member”, “a member guided by abutting against the inner surface or the recessed portion of the guide member”, and “a fitting with the guide member”. What is guided by combining ", etc. are mentioned.

  By the way, the rotation prevention means includes a guide member that is fixed to the guided member and extends in substantially the same direction as the extending direction of the guiding member, and a guided member that is fixed at a predetermined position and guided by the guide member. In this case, since the guide member having a predetermined length moves with the movement of the guided member (movable body) to be guided and guided, a space in which the guide member can move at least as much as the guided member moves is required. There are many restrictions when it is provided in a gaming machine made of members, and it becomes difficult to guide (move) the movable body satisfactorily, and there is a problem that it is impossible to obtain a rendering effect due to the movement of the movable body.

  According to the configuration of the means 2, the guide member disposed at a position spaced apart from the guide member by a predetermined distance substantially parallel to the guide member, and the movement of the guide member in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the guide member is restricted by the guide member. And a guided member to be held.

  As a result, the guided member held by the guided member can be guided by the guide member along with the movement of the guided member and can move in a predetermined direction. Since movement in a substantially right angle direction is restricted, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the guided member from rotating around the axis of the guiding member.

  Further, since the guide member is disposed at a position that is a predetermined distance away from the guide member, for example, even if the play between the guide member and the guided member is the same, the distance between the guide member and the guide member By appropriately selecting, it is possible to appropriately adjust the shaking of the guided member. More specifically, the greater the distance between the guide member and the guide member, the less the swing caused by the rotation of the guided member around the axis of the guide member becomes smaller, so the space for arranging the guide member and guide member in the gaming machine is reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to select a guide member, a guided member, a guide member, a guided member, and the like having optimum processing accuracy, and it is possible to suppress an increase in processing cost.

  Further, since the position of the guide member is fixed with respect to the guided member to be moved, a space for moving the guide member becomes unnecessary as compared with the case where the guided member is held by the guided member. As a result, the installation space can be reduced as much as possible, so that the movable body can be guided and guided well, and a movable body that can be expected to produce a desired effect can be installed in the gaming machine. It is possible to enhance the interest of the player.

A transparent plate-shaped partition plate 233, a right movable decorative body 234 and a left movable decorative body 235 disposed on the lower front side of the upper edge of the frame-shaped decorative body 230, and a rear side of the frame-shaped decorative body 230. The right movable decorative body driving unit 236 and the left movable decorative body driving unit 237 are provided for rotating the right movable decorative body 234 and the left movable decorative body 235 about predetermined axes, respectively.

  The main character 213 further includes a chucker 238 capable of detecting a game ball passing through a predetermined area in the game area 37. The chucker 238 is attached to the left edge of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 and detects a passage of the game ball, and has an opening that covers the passage detection sensor 239 from the front and allows the game ball to pass in the vertical direction. The chucker cover 240 is provided. When a game ball flowing down in the game area 37 enters from the upper side of the chucker cover 240, the chucker 238 detects the game ball by the passage detection sensor 239, and then detects the detected game ball on the lower side of the chucker cover 240. The game area 37 is returned to the game area 37 again.

  The main decorative body 213 has a frame-shaped decorative body 230 provided with a warp inlet 250 below a portion to which the passage detection sensor 238 is attached, and below the warp inlet 250 the inner side of the frame-shaped decorative body 230. A warp outlet 251 is formed in the frame-shaped decorative body 230, and a warp passage 252 that connects the warp inlet 250 and the warp outlet 251 is formed inside the frame-shaped decorative body 230. The warp passage 252 is formed by closing an opening portion of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 formed in a U-shape in cross section by a part of the partition plate 233, and a game ball that flows down along the game board surface Can be taken in from the outer side (outer periphery) of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 to the inner side through the warp passage 252.

  The frame-shaped decorative body 230 of the main character 213 has a rolling surface 253 that can be continuously rolled from the warp outlet 251 of the warp passage 252 on the upper surface of the lower edge portion, and can roll the game ball in the left-right direction. A stage 256 is provided which is provided on the front side of the surface 253 and includes a weir portion 255 having a predetermined height and having open portions 254 on the left and right. In this stage 256, the game ball taken in through the warp passage 252 is rolled in the left-right direction so that various changes can be made in its movement, and the game ball rolling on the stage 256 is It flows out from the opening part 254 to the front of the stage 256. The game balls on the stage 256 are prevented from flowing out behind the stage 256 by the partition plate 233 attached to the rear side of the frame-shaped decorative body 230.

  In addition, the frame-shaped decorative body 230 of the main character 213 further includes a ball guiding path 257 for guiding the game ball on the stage 256 so as to flow down almost right above the center of the main winning prize opening unit 214. The ball guide path 257 is disposed substantially at the center so as to sandwich the left and right opening portions 254 of the stage 256, guides the game ball to the rear side of the stage 256, and below the ball guide portion 258 and on the stage 256. A ball receiving portion 259 that extends to the rear side and is capable of receiving a game ball from above, and a ball outlet that opens the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 259 below the ball guide portion 258 and on the front side of the stage 256 And a sphere guiding portion 261 that guides the fluid so as to flow out from 260. Note that a ball guiding recess 262 that protrudes rearward is formed in a substantially central lower portion of the partition plate 233, and the game ball guided to the rear side of the stage 256 by the ball guiding portion 258 is guided to the ball guiding recess 262. Thus, the ball receiving portion 259 can be satisfactorily received without flowing out to the rear side of the partition plate 233.

  Further, the frame-shaped decorative body 230 of the main character 213 has a surface on the opposite side of the warp passage 252 across the stage 256 so that the central side in the left-right direction of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 is slightly lowered. Further provided is an extended rolling surface 263 that is continuous with the rolling surface 253. The extended rolling surface 263 is taken in from the warp inlet 250 and supplied to the stage 256 at a predetermined initial speed via the warp passage 252, gets over the weir portion 255 of the stage 256 and flows out of the stage 256. This is intended to prevent this. As shown in the drawing, a part of the character body 231 is arranged on the front side of the extended rolling surface 263, and a groove having a predetermined depth is formed in cooperation with the partition plate 233. Thus, even if the game ball bounces on the extended rolling surface 263, it is difficult for the game ball to drop off from the extended rolling surface 263 (see FIG. 19).

  The operation of the extended rolling surface 263 will be described in detail. A game ball supplied at a predetermined initial speed through the warp passage 252 rolls from the left end of the stage 256 to the right end and is placed on the extended rolling surface 263. At that time, the stage 256 is shaped so that the center thereof is low and the left and right ends are high, so that the speed of the game ball decreases as it rolls to the right end of the stage 256, but the warp path Since the speed of the game ball circulating in the 252 is different, the initial speed when supplied to the stage 256 is also different. For example, instead of the extended rolling surface 263, a ball contact portion is provided at the right end of the stage 256. If it is provided, depending on the speed of the game ball, it will be bounced by contact with the ball contact portion, get over the weir portion 255 of the stage 256 and drop off from the stage 256, so that the game ball is satisfactorily placed on the stage 256. Can not be moving, it may not be entertained movement of game balls.

  On the other hand, in this example, the extended rolling surface 263 is provided at the right end of the stage 256, and even when a game ball that rolls at a predetermined speed reaches the right end of the stage 256, the extended rolling surface 263 is moved to. So that it can be prevented from falling off the stage 256 by being bounced at the right end of the stage 256. In addition, a groove having a predetermined depth is formed on the extended rolling surface 263 in cooperation with the character body 231 and the partition plate 233, so that even if a game ball bounces on the extended rolling surface 263, the extended rolling surface 263. The game ball can be prevented from falling off. Furthermore, since the extended rolling surface 263 is a flat surface with the center side (left end) of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 slightly lowered, the speed of the game ball rolling from the extended rolling surface 263 to the stage 263 is increased. The game ball can be returned to the stage 263 at a suitable speed, and the game ball can be favorably rolled on the stage 263.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the frame-shaped decorative body 230 of the main character 213 is provided with a ball guide path 270 capable of guiding a game ball downward along the outer periphery on the left outer periphery thereof.

The ball guide path 270 has a plurality of protrusions 274 so that the game balls flowing down the ball guide path 270 come into contact with the protrusions 274, thereby reducing the flow speed of the game balls and increasing the flow speed of the game balls. Can be suppressed. The ball guide path 270 is formed so as to guide the game ball to the vicinity of the lower side of the main winning opening unit 214.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the ball guide path 270 guides the game ball driven into the upper part of the game area 37 to the vicinity of the lower side of the main winning opening unit 214. When the game ball is guided by the game ball, the possibility of winning the main prize opening unit 214 is reduced. Therefore, the game ball can be driven so that the game ball is not guided to the ball guide path 270. Becomes monotonous and can prevent the interest from deteriorating. Further, when the game ball is guided by the ball guide path 270, the flow rate of the game ball is suppressed by the projection 274, so that the game ball is prevented from being released from the ball guide path 270 and released. Prevent the game ball from coming into contact with the main prize opening unit 214, the game area decoration body 215, etc., or even if it comes into contact, the speed is reduced to reduce the impact as much as possible.

  After this, the decorative body 216 is attached and fixed on the rear side of the game board base 212 on the right side of the center in front view, and moves mainly in the vertical direction, and the upper part of the face including the upper jaw of a predetermined character is shaped. First decorative movable body unit 431 having 430, and mounted and fixed on the rear surface side of game board base 212 on the opposite side in the left-right direction with respect to first decorative movable body unit 431, and vertically below first decorative movable body 430 A second decorative movable body unit 433 having a second decorative movable body 432 in which the lower jaw corresponding to the first decorative movable body 430 is formed, and the first decorative movable body unit 431 and the second decorative movable body unit. A decorative movable body unit cover 435 that covers the outer peripheral side and the rear side of 433, has a rectangular opening 434 in the center, and can be mounted with an effect display device 217 on the rear side, and a first decorative movable body unit. 431 and the decorative movable body unit cover 435, a first decorative body 436 disposed between the second decorative movable body unit 433 and the decorative movable body unit cover 435. I have.

  Thereafter, the decorative body 216 causes the first decorative movable body 430 of the first decorative movable body unit 431 and the second decorative movable body 432 of the second decorative movable body unit 433 to approach or separate from each other. By moving each of them up and down, it is possible to perform an effect operation such that the mouth of a predetermined character opens or closes.

  Thereafter, the first decorative movable body unit 431 of the decorative body 216 moves the first decorative movable body 430 in which the upper part of the face between the upper jaw and the eyebrows of the predetermined character is shaped, and the first decorative movable body 430 in the vertical direction. And is rotated around an axis extending in the left-right direction of the game board 5 and attached to the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 which is attached and fixed to the rear surface side of the game board base 212, and the first decorative movable body drive unit 450. And a unit decoration body 451 for decoration.

The first decorative movable body 430 of the first decorative movable body unit 431 has sunglasses 453 having a substantially black lens portion 452 and a first decorative movable body having an opening hole 454 that penetrates at a position corresponding to the eyes of the character. Light emission in which a body main body 455 and a plurality of LEDs 456 that are arranged on the rear side of the first decorative movable body main body 455 and can emit light of a predetermined color are provided on the front side through the opening holes 454 of the first decorative movable body main body 455. The base plate 457 is disposed on the rear side of the light emitting substrate 457, and includes a sunglasses 453, a first decorative movable body main body 455, and a base member 458 assembled integrally with the light emitting substrate 457.

  As shown in the drawing, the lens portion 452 of the sunglasses 453 in the first decorative movable body 430 has a pattern appearing on the surface according to the color of light emitted from the LED 456 of the light emitting substrate 457. Specifically, When a red light is emitted from the LED 456, a “crescent-like pattern” appears, and when a blue light is emitted from the LED 456, a “predetermined Chinese character” (here, “place”) related to the character appears. It has become. The lens portion 452 has a structure in which the “crescent-shaped pattern” and the “predetermined Chinese character” are arranged so as to overlap with each other, and the overlapped portion is colorless or white and has a translucent white portion 459. The portion where the “crescent-shaped pattern” does not overlap is the red portion 460 having red translucency, and the portion where the “predetermined Chinese character” does not overlap is the blue portion 461 having blue translucency. The other part is a black part 462 that is substantially black.

  In this example, since the lens portion 452 has the above-described configuration, for example, when red light is emitted from the LED 456, the red light is transmitted through the white portion 459 and the red portion 460, and the blue portion 461 and the black portion 462 are transmitted. Then, since red light is not transmitted, a “crescent-shaped pattern” by the white portion 459 and the red portion 460 appears. On the other hand, when the blue light is emitted from the LED 456, the blue light is transmitted through the white portion 459 and the blue portion 461, and the blue light is not transmitted through the red portion 460 and the black portion 462. The “predetermined kanji” will appear. As described above, by appropriately combining the colored light and the colored member having translucency, a desired pattern can be easily displayed without using an expensive display device such as an LCD. .

  In this example, the light emitting substrate 457 to which the LED 456 is attached is formed on a highly light-shielding member. Specifically, a light shielding member made of a black paint or black film having a high light shielding property is provided on the back side of the light emitting substrate 457. As a result, light other than the LED 456 is prevented from entering from the rear side of the lens unit 452, and when the LED 456 is turned off, the white part 459, the red part 460, and the blue part 461 other than the black part 462 can be seen. It comes to suppress. In addition, the LED 456 is used as the light source, and the wavelength band of the emitted color is narrow compared with other light sources, and the content of other color components is small, so that a desired color pattern can be more reliably displayed. It has become.

  Further, the first decorative movable body 430 is provided with a fixing portion 463 for fixing and supporting the first decorative movable body driving unit 450 on the base member 458, and the first decorative movable body is provided by the fixed portion 463. 430 is supported by the first decorative movable body drive unit 450.

  Next, the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 supports the first decorative movable body 430 and moves the first decorative movable body 430 in the vertical direction together with the first decorative movable body 430, and the first vertical movable member 470 in the vertical direction. A guide rail 471 for guiding, a first upper support member 472 for supporting the upper end portion of the guide rail 471, a first lower support member 473 for supporting the lower end portion of the guide rail 471, the first upper support member 472, and the first A first base 475 which has a mounting contact surface 474 which supports the lower support member 473 at a predetermined distance in the vertical direction and abuts against the rear surface side of the game board base 212 and is formed by bending a sheet metal; A first drive motor 477 that is disposed on the opposite side of the first upper support member 472 of the 475 and that projects through the first base 475 and the first upper support member 472 and whose rotating drive shaft 476 protrudes; A drive pulley 478 that rotates as the drive shaft 476 of the first drive motor 477 rotates, a driven pulley 479 disposed near the first lower support member 473 so as to be paired with the drive pulley 478, and a drive pulley 478 and a driven pulley 479, and a belt fixing portion 481 for connecting and fixing a part of the driving belt 480 to the first elevating member 470.

  In this example, the rotation of the drive pulley 478 by the first drive motor 477 is performed when the rotation of the drive gear 482 fixed to the drive shaft 476 of the first drive motor 477 is arranged above the drive gear 482. The drive pulley 478 is rotationally driven by being transmitted to a transmission gear 483 that meshes with 482 and rotates integrally with the drive pulley 478. By using the drive gear 482 and the transmission gear 483, the position of the drive pulley 478 is made higher than the drive shaft 476 of the first drive motor 477 so that the vertical movable range of the first elevating member 470 is increased. It has become. Further, the inner peripheral surface of the drive belt 480 is provided with engagement teeth 484 at predetermined intervals over the entire circumference, and the drive pulley 478 has engaged teeth 485 that engage with the engagement teeth 484. The rotational drive of the drive pulley 478 is reliably transmitted to the drive belt 480 by the engagement between the engaged teeth 485 and the engagement teeth 484. The driven pulley 479 is a flat pulley without engaged teeth.

  The first decorative movable body drive unit 450 is further provided with first rotation preventing means 490 for preventing the first elevating member 470 from rotating about the axial direction in which the guide rail 471 extends. The first rotation preventing means 490 includes a guide rod 491 supported at the upper and lower ends thereof by the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473, and disposed substantially parallel to the guide rail 471, and the front-rear direction. A guide member 492 that can be brought into contact with the guide rod 491 and attached to the first elevating member 470. As shown in the figure, the first rotation preventing means 490 has a guide rod 491 disposed on the right side of the guide rail 471 at a predetermined distance and a guide member 492 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. The first elevating member 470 can be satisfactorily prevented from rotating around the axis of the guide rail 471 by abutting on any one of the front and rear sides.

  In this example, the guide rail 471 and the guide rod 491 are both metal round bars, and a friction reducing layer for reducing sliding resistance is formed on the surface of the guide rail 471. The friction reducing layer is coated with, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, (for example, Teflon (registered trademark))) as a fluororesin with a predetermined thickness, and is thereby guided by the guide rail 471. The value of the dynamic friction resistance of the first elevating member 470 and the value of the static friction resistance can be made as close as possible, and when the stationary first elevating member 470 starts moving, the movement can be started smoothly, Durability can be improved by reducing wear of the guide rail 471 and the like. Further, the surface of the guide rod 491 is chrome-plated to prevent corrosion such as rust and improve durability, and it is less expensive than the guide rail 471 and prevents an increase in cost. It can be done.

  The first decorative movable body drive unit 450 further includes a tension mechanism 493 that applies a predetermined tension to the drive belt 480. The tension mechanism 493 is guided by the guide rail 471 and rotatably supports the driven pulley 479, and one end is attached to the moving body 494 and the other end is attached to the first base 475, and the moving body 494 is moved downward. And a tension spring 495 for biasing.

  The moving body 494 of the tension mechanism 493 includes a guide hole 496 through which the guide rail 471 is inserted, a hook-shaped locking portion 498 that locks the shaft portion 497 that is opened downward and protrudes from both ends of the driven pulley 479, and a guide. A spring mounting portion 499 that is disposed between the hole 496 and the locking portion 498 and attaches one end of the tension spring 495 is provided. As a result, the driven pulley 479 can be supported by the movable body 494 in a state where the drive belt 480 is wound around the driven pulley 479, and assembly is facilitated. Further, since the drive belt 480 is pulled by the tension spring 495 between the guide hole 496 and the locking portion 498 that locks the shaft portion 497 of the driven pulley 479, the guide hole is guided with respect to the shaft of the guide rail 471. The shaft of 496 can be prevented from being greatly inclined, the sliding resistance of the moving body 494 on the guide rail 471 is prevented from increasing, the moving body 494 can move smoothly, and the moving body The posture of 494 is prevented from changing greatly, and the drive belt 480 is tensioned well.

  In the first decorative movable body drive unit 450, as shown in the figure, the drive pulley 478 is disposed on the upper side and the driven pulley 479 is disposed on the lower side, and the drive wound around the drive pulley 478 and the driven pulley 479 is driven. The belt 480 is urged downward by the tension mechanism 493 via the driven pulley 479. Further, since the first elevating member 470 is fixed to the driving belt 480, the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 is applied to the driving belt 480 and pulled downward only to one side of the driving belt 480. A force is applied, and the driving belt 480 is strongly wound around the driving pulley 478 by the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430.

  On the other hand, the upper drive pulley 478 is provided with engaged teeth 485 that engage with the engagement teeth 484 of the drive belt 480, and the drive belt depends on the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430. When 480 is tightly wound around the drive pulley 478, the engagement between the engagement tooth 484 of the drive belt 480 and the engaged tooth 485 of the drive pulley 478 becomes stronger, and the drive pulley 478 is driven by the first drive motor 477. By blocking the rotation, the rotation of the drive belt 480 is blocked, and the weights of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 are supported by the drive pulley 478 via the drive belt 480. The weight of the elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 is not applied to the lower driven pulley 479 or the tension mechanism 493. As a result, the first elevating member 470 and the like can be moved up and down satisfactorily without applying an extra load to the tension mechanism 493, and the cost of the tension mechanism 493 and the like with the urging force by the tension mechanism 493 being minimized. Can be reduced.

  By the way, when the vertical arrangement of the driving pulley 478, the driven pulley 479, and the tension mechanism 493 is reversed, the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 is applied to the driven pulley 479 via the driving belt 480. The driven pulley 479 is not provided with an engaged tooth that engages with the engaging tooth 484 of the drive belt 480, and the driven pulley 479 is configured to freely rotate. The weights of the lifting member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 cannot be supported, and the first lifting member 470 is lowered and the drive belt 480 is rotated in a predetermined direction. Further, in the lower drive pulley 478, the drive belt 480 is pulled downward by the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430, so that the winding force of the drive belt 480 on the drive pulley 478 is weakened. That is, the engagement between the engagement teeth 484 of the drive belt 480 and the engaged teeth 485 of the drive pulley 478 is weakened, and it becomes easy to slip.

  When slippage occurs between the drive pulley 478 and the drive belt 480, the drive belt 480 is rotated by the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 regardless of the rotation of the first drive motor 477. As a result, the first elevating member 470 is lowered, and the first elevating member 470 cannot be moved up and down satisfactorily. Therefore, it is conceivable to prevent slippage between the drive pulley 478 and the drive belt 480 by increasing the urging force by the tension mechanism 493. However, when the urging force is increased, not only the tension mechanism 493 but also the drive pulley 478, It is necessary to increase the strength of the driven pulley 479, the drive belt 480, the first base 475, and the like, which causes a problem that the cost of the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 is increased. It is desirable to arrange the pulley 478 on the upper side and the driven pulley 479 on the lower side.

  In the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 of this example, the first base 475 is provided with a positioning hole 510 for positioning the mounting positions of the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473. In addition, positioning protrusions 511 that fit into the positioning holes 510 are respectively formed on the contact portions of the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473 with the first base 475. As a result, the positioning protrusions 511 of the corresponding first upper support member 473 and first lower support member 473 are fitted into the positioning holes 510 of the first base 475 and then fixed to the first base 475. Thus, the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473 can be accurately positioned at predetermined positions, and the assembly accuracy of the guide rail 471, the drive pulley 478, the driven pulley 479, and the like can be highly accurately and easily performed. Can be assembled. A mounting hole 512 for mounting and fixing to the game board base 212 is formed in the mounting contact surface 474 of the first base 475.

  In the first decorative movable body drive unit 450, as shown in the drawing, a mounting contact surface 474 of the first base 475 is provided on the upper portion of the first base 475, and the first base 475 has a first contact with the game board base 212. Only the upper part of one base 475 is fixedly attached. Thereby, the attachment location to the game board base 212 can be decreased, and an assembly cost can be reduced. In addition, the first base 475 is fixed to the game board base 212 at the upper part, that is, fixed above the center of gravity of the weight applied to the first base 475. Even if the first base 475 is fixed only at its upper part even if it swings to the left and right around the contact surface 474, the first base 475 is in a good condition even if the first base 475 is fixed only at its upper part. It can be fixed with. That is, the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 can be satisfactorily attached and fixed to the game board base 212.

  Next, the first elevating member 470 of the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 includes a rod-like support shaft 530 on which the first decorative movable body 430 is attached and supported, and two support bushes 531 inserted through the support shaft 530. The two support bushes 532 inserted into the guide rail 471 and the two support bushes 532 having the insertion holes 533 through which the guide rail 471 can be inserted and positioned through the guide rail 471 are positioned at a predetermined distance in the vertical direction. In addition, a main body 534 capable of positioning the two support bushes 531 inserted through the support shaft 530 at a predetermined distance in the left-right direction, and a rear side of the main body 534 and cooperating with the main body 534 The positions of the two support bushes 532 inserted through the guide rail 471 and the two support bushes 531 inserted through the support shaft 530 And a bushing fixing member 535 for fixing.

  The main body 534 of the first elevating member 470 is formed with a stepped recess 536 into which the support bush 532 inserted into the guide rail 471 can be fitted at both ends of the insertion hole 533. The inner diameter is a diameter at which the guide rail 471 does not contact, and a clearance of a predetermined dimension is formed between the insertion hole 533 and the guide rail 471. In addition, a semi-cylindrical fitting recess 537 in which two support bushes 531 inserted through the support shaft 530 can be fitted is formed on the main body 534 so as to face each other at a predetermined distance in the left-right direction. At the same time, a semi-cylindrical housing portion 538 is formed between the two fitting recesses 537 facing each other, so that the support shaft 530 inserted and supported by the support bush 531 does not come into contact with the main body portion 534. Yes.

  On the other hand, the bush fixing member 535 of the first elevating member 470 is formed with two retaining pieces 539 that are substantially U-shaped in plan view and extend forward, and the distance between these retaining pieces 539 is the main body portion 534.

  In this example, the rotation of the drive pulley 638 by the second drive motor 637 is arranged so that the rotation of the drive gear 642 fixed to the drive shaft 636 of the second drive motor 637 is substantially below the drive gear 642. The drive pulley 638 is driven to rotate by being transmitted to a transmission gear 643 that meshes with the drive gear 642 and rotates integrally with the drive pulley 638. In addition, engagement teeth 644 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the drive belt 640 at predetermined intervals over the entire circumference, and the engaged teeth 645 that engage with the engagement teeth 644 are provided on the drive pulley 638 as gears. The rotational drive of the drive pulley 638 is reliably transmitted to the drive belt 640 by the engagement of the engaged teeth 645 and the engagement teeth 644. The driven pulley 639 is a flat pulley without engaged teeth.

  The second decorative movable body drive unit 610 is further provided with second rotation preventing means 650 for preventing the second elevating member 630 from rotating around the axial direction in which the guide rail 631 extends. The second anti-rotation means 650 includes a guide rod 651 that is supported at the upper and lower ends thereof by the second upper support member 632 and the second lower support member 633 and arranged substantially parallel to the guide rail 631, and from the left-right direction.

As shown in the figure, the second rotation preventing means 650 includes a guide rod 651 disposed on the rear side of the guide rail 631 at a predetermined distance and a guide member 652 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. By abutting on either of the left and right sides of 651, the second elevating member 630 can be well prevented from rotating around the axis of the guide rail 631.

  In this example, the guide rail 631 and the guide rod 651 are both metal round bars, and a friction reducing layer for reducing sliding resistance is formed on the surface of the guide rail 631. The friction reducing layer is coated with, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, (for example, Teflon (registered trademark))) as a fluororesin with a predetermined thickness, and is thereby guided by the guide rail 631. The value of the dynamic frictional resistance and the value of the static frictional resistance of the second elevating member 630 can be brought as close as possible, and when the stationary second elevating member 630 starts moving, the movement can be started smoothly, The durability of the guide rail 631 and the like can be reduced by reducing wear. Further, the surface of the guide rod 651 is chrome-plated to prevent corrosion such as rust and improve durability, and it is less expensive than the guide rail 631 and prevents an increase in cost. It can be done.

  The second decorative movable body drive unit 610 further includes a tension mechanism 653 that applies a predetermined tension to the drive belt 640. The tension mechanism 653 is the same mechanism as the tension mechanism 493 provided in the first decorative movable body drive unit 450. The tension mechanism 653 is guided by the guide rail 631 and rotatably supports the driven pulley 639, and one end. The movable body 654 includes a tension spring 655 that is attached to the second base 635 at the other end and biases the movable body 654 downward.

  The moving body 654 of the tension mechanism 653 includes a guide hole 656 that passes through the guide rail 631, a hook-shaped locking portion 658 that locks the shaft portion 657 that opens downward and protrudes from both ends of the driven pulley 639, and a guide. A spring mounting portion 659 is provided between the hole 656 and the locking portion 658 and to which one end of the tension spring 655 is attached. Accordingly, the driven pulley 639 can be supported by the moving body 654 in a state where the drive belt 640 is wound around the driven pulley 639, so that the assembly can be easily performed. Further, since the drive belt 640 is pulled by the tension spring 655 between the guide hole 656 and the locking portion 658 for locking the shaft portion 657 of the driven pulley 639, the guide hole is guided with respect to the shaft of the guide rail 631. The shaft of 656 can be prevented from being greatly inclined, the sliding resistance of the moving body 654 in the guide rail 631 is prevented from increasing, and the moving body 654 can move smoothly, and the moving body The posture of 654 is prevented from changing greatly, and the drive belt 480 is tensioned satisfactorily.

  In the second decorative movable body drive unit 610, as shown in the figure, the drive pulley 638 is disposed on the upper side and the driven pulley 639 is disposed on the lower side, and the drive wound around the drive pulley 638 and the driven pulley 639 is driven. The belt 640 is biased downward by a tension mechanism 653 via a driven pulley 639. Further, since the second elevating member 630 is fixed to the driving belt 640, the weights of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 are applied to the driving belt 640 and pulled downward only to one side of the driving belt 640. A force is applied, and the driving belt 640 is strongly wound around the driving pulley 638 by the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432.

  On the other hand, the upper drive pulley 638 is provided with engaged teeth 645 that engage with the engagement teeth 644 of the drive belt 640, and the drive belt depends on the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432. By strongly winding the drive pulley 638 around the drive pulley 638, the engagement between the engagement tooth 644 of the drive belt 640 and the engaged tooth 645 of the drive pulley 638 becomes stronger, and the drive pulley 638 of the drive pulley 638 is driven by the second drive motor 637. By blocking the rotation, the rotation of the drive belt 640 is blocked, and the weights of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 are supported by the drive pulley 638 via the drive belt 640, and the second The weight of the elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 is not applied to the lower driven pulley 639 or the tension mechanism 653. As a result, the second elevating member 630 and the like can be moved up and down satisfactorily without applying an extra load to the tension mechanism 653, and the cost required for the tension mechanism 653 and the like with a minimum biasing force by the tension mechanism 653 can be achieved. Can be reduced.

  By the way, when the vertical arrangement of the driving pulley 638, the driven pulley 639, and the tension mechanism 653 is reversed, the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 is applied to the driven pulley 639 via the driving belt 640. The driven pulley 639 is not provided with an engaged tooth 645 that engages with the engaging tooth 644 of the drive belt 640, and the driven pulley 639 is configured to freely rotate. The weights of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 cannot be supported, and the second elevating member 630 descends and the drive belt 640 rotates in a predetermined direction. Further, since the drive belt 640 is pulled downward by the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 in the lower drive pulley 638, the winding force of the drive belt 640 on the drive pulley 638 is weakened. In other words, the engagement between the engagement teeth 644 of the drive belt 640 and the engaged teeth 645 of the drive pulley 638 is weakened, making it easier to slip on each other.

  When slippage occurs between the drive pulley 638 and the drive belt 640, the drive belt 64 is rotated by the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 regardless of the rotation of the second drive motor 637. As a result, the second elevating member 630 is lowered, and the second elevating member 630 cannot be moved up and down satisfactorily. Therefore, it is conceivable to prevent slippage between the drive pulley 638 and the drive belt 640 by increasing the urging force of the tension mechanism 653. However, when the urging force is increased, not only the tension mechanism 653 but also the drive pulley 638, It is necessary to increase the strength of the driven pulley 639, the driving belt 640, the second base 635, and the like, which causes a problem of increasing the cost of the second decorative movable body driving unit 433. It is desirable to arrange the pulley 638 on the upper side and the driven pulley 639 on the lower side.

  In the second decorative movable body drive unit 610 of this example, a positioning hole 670 for positioning the mounting positions of the second upper support member 632 and the second lower support member 633 is formed in the second base 635. In addition, positioning protrusions 671 that fit into the positioning holes 670 are respectively formed on the contact portions of the second upper support member 632 and the second lower support member 633 with the second base 635. As a result, the positioning projections 671 of the corresponding second upper support member 632 and second lower support member 633 are fitted into the positioning holes 670 of the second base 635 and then fixed to the second base 635. Thus, the second upper support member 632 and the second lower support member 633 can be accurately positioned at predetermined positions, and the assembly accuracy of the guide rail 631, the drive pulley 638, the driven pulley 639, etc. can be assembled with high accuracy and ease. It is supposed to be. A mounting hole 672 for mounting and fixing to the game board base 212 is formed in the mounting contact surface 634 of the second base 635.

  In the second decorative movable body drive unit 610, as shown in the figure, the mounting contact surface 634 of the second base 635 is provided on the upper portion of the second base 635, Only the upper part of the two bases 635 is attached and fixed. Thereby, the attachment location to the game board base 212 can be decreased, and an assembly cost can be reduced. Further, the second base 635 is fixed to the game board base 212 at the upper part, that is, fixed above the center of gravity of the weight applied to the second base 635. Even if it swings left and right around the contact surface 634, it tends to return to its original position due to the gravity applied to its center of gravity. Therefore, even if the second base 635 is fixed only at its upper part, the second base 635 is excellent. It can be fixed in the state. That is, the second decorative movable body drive unit 610 can be satisfactorily attached and fixed to the game board base 212.
