  However, in a conventional gaming machine, the movable body can be noticed by moving the movable body, but the moving amount of the movable body is relatively small. The movement becomes small and difficult to understand, and depending on the player, the movement of the movable body itself cannot be enjoyed, and there is a risk that the interest will be reduced.

  Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present invention makes it easy to recognize the moving operation of the movable body by moving the movable body faster and greatly, and prevents the interest from being reduced by the moving operation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can be used.

Mean 1: In the gaming machine,
“A driving pulley and a driven pulley arranged apart from each other in a predetermined direction;
A drive belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley;
Rotational drive means for rotating the drive pulley to drive the drive belt;
A guided member fixed to the drive belt;
A movable body held by the guided member;
A guide member that guides and guides the guided member that holds the movable body, and extends in a direction substantially the same as a predetermined direction in which the drive pulley and the driven pulley are arranged apart from each other;
A movable body that is guided and guided by the guide member and that rotatably holds the driven pulley;
Biasing means for biasing the drive pulley and the driven pulley in a direction away from each other is provided between a portion guided and guided by the guide member in the moving body and a portion holding the driven pulley. It is characterized by that.

  Here, “the driving pulley, the driven pulley, and the driving belt” are “the driving belt is a flat belt and the driving pulley and the driven pulley are flat pulleys”, “the driving belt is a toothed belt, "The driven pulley is a toothed pulley that engages with the teeth of the driving belt", "The driving belt is a toothed belt, the driving pulley is a toothed pulley that engages with the teeth of the driving belt, and the driven pulley is a flat pulley. And the like ".

  Further, examples of the “rotation drive means” include “electric motor”, “pneumatic actuator”, etc., and the drive pulley may be directly driven to rotate by the rotation drive means, or indirectly through the transmission gear. Alternatively, the drive pulley may be rotationally driven. In addition, when the drive pulley is driven to rotate indirectly, the position of the rotation drive means and the position of the drive pulley can be different from each other. It is possible to arrange and drive the drive pulley indirectly from there, and the degree of freedom of arrangement can be further increased.

  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.

  Furthermore, as the “guide member”, any member that can guide the guided member in a predetermined direction may be used, and “the cross-sectional shape is circular or polygonal and continuously extends in the predetermined direction”, “the cross-sectional shape is circular. Or a polygonal shape that extends discontinuously in a predetermined direction (arranged at a predetermined interval). 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. Examples of the material of the “induction member” include “resin”, “metal”, “ceramics”, “composite material such as glass fiber reinforced resin and carbon fiber reinforced resin”, and the like.

  Moreover, examples of the “moving body” include “having a guided portion guided and guided by the guiding means and a holding portion capable of rotatably holding the driven pulley”. Examples of the “guided portion” include “the guide member is inserted and fitted into the guide hole”, “the slide fit with the guide member”, “the roll on the guide member”, and the like. In addition, the “holding portion” includes “the one that holds the shaft portion of the driven pulley in a fixed position”, “the hook shape that is open on the side away from the driving pulley relative to the driven pulley, and the hook-shaped portion is The thing which latches the axial part of a driven pulley "etc. are mentioned.

  Examples of the “biasing means” include “coil spring”, “plate spring”, “rubber”, and the like. In addition, as a position which arrange | positions a biasing means, the position between a drive pulley and a driven pulley may be sufficient, and the position on the opposite side to a drive pulley with respect to a driven pulley may be sufficient.

  By the way, as a mechanism (moving means) for moving the guided member guided and guided by the guiding member, various methods are conceivable. For example, a long screw member extending in a predetermined direction and a screw member may be used. In the case where the nut member (movable member) to be screwed and the rotation driving means for rotating the screw member are configured, the nut member can be moved in the extending direction of the screw member by rotating the screw member. However, when the nut member, that is, the movable body is moved by the rotation of the screw member, the moving speed of the movable body is slower than the rotational speed of the screw member, and the effecting operation of the movable body becomes slow. It was difficult to make a strong impression on the player, and it was not possible to expect an effect that could enhance interest.

  Moreover, it is also conceivable to use a solenoid or cylinder that can move the movable body faster than the case of using a screw member as the moving means. However, when a solenoid or cylinder is used, the movable body is moved by moving the plunger or piston rod accommodated in the solenoid or cylinder, so a large space is required for installing the solenoid or cylinder. In a gaming machine with a limited installation space, there is a problem that it is difficult to install a solenoid or a cylinder depending on the amount of movement in which the movable body is desired to be moved.

  Therefore, it is conceivable that the guided member is moved by moving the driving belt wound around the driven pulley and the driven pulley arranged apart from each other in the extending direction of the guiding member. In this case, conventionally, a tension mechanism for applying a predetermined tension (tension) to the driving belt is provided so that the driving belt wound around the driving pulley and the driven pulley is driven to rotate favorably.

  There are various forms of the tension mechanism. For example, “a tension is applied to the drive belt by pressing the drive belt with a predetermined urging force from the inside or the outside at a position between the drive pulley and the driven pulley. When the `` thing '' is used, a tension mechanism must be provided between the driving pulley and the driven pulley, the tension mechanism obstructs the movement of the guided member, and it cannot be moved, or the direction in which the driving belt extends On the other hand, a mechanism for applying an urging force in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction is required, so that the size in the direction perpendicular to the surface becomes large, and there is a problem in that it cannot be installed due to its overall size.

  On the other hand, as the tension mechanism, “the one that gives a predetermined tension to the drive belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley by moving the drive pulley and the driven pulley relative to each other in a direction away from each other” was used. In this case, an increase in the size in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the drive belt extends can be suppressed. However, the drive pulley and the driven pulley can be moved relative to the direction in which the drive pulley and the driven pulley are arranged, and the drive pulley and the driven pulley are relatively moved by a support member that rotatably supports the drive pulley and the driven pulley, thereby applying tension to the drive belt. In addition to the tension mechanism to be actuated, a guiding member for guiding and guiding the guided member is disposed, so that the number of components increases, the overall size is increased, and the movable body held by the guided member is relatively small. Or the amount of movement of the guided member, that is, the movable body is reduced.

  According to the configuration of the means 1, the guided means holding the movable body is fixed to the drive belt wound around the drive pulley rotated by the rotation drive means and the driven pulley, and the drive pulley and the driven pulley The guide member extending in the same direction as the direction in which they are separated from each other guides and guides the guided member, and the movable body that is guided and guided by the guide member and rotatably holds the driven pulley is driven by the driving means and the driven pulley from the biasing means. Is biased in the direction of separating.

  As a result, the moving body for applying tension to the drive belt is guided and guided by the guide member to which the guided member is guided and guided, so the moving body is separated in the direction in which the drive pulley and the driven pulley are separated. It is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for moving, and the entire apparatus can be simplified, and the overall increase in size can be suppressed. In other words, since it is possible to prevent an overall increase in size, it is possible to relatively increase the size of the movable body or increase the amount of movement, thereby making it easier to recognize the effect of the movable body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the entertainment from being lowered by the production operation.

  Also, as the tension mechanism, the drive pulley and the driven pulley are urged away from each other, so the drive belt is urged from the inside or outside of the drive belt to the opposite side between the drive pulley and the driven pulley. Compared to what to do, it is possible to suppress an increase in the size in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the drive belt extends, and since no tension mechanism is provided at a position between the drive pulley and the driven pulley, The guided member can be favorably moved without disturbing the movement of the guided member.

  By the way, various positions are conceivable as positions where the urging force is applied by the urging means, and the conventional tension mechanism is arranged so as to act along the axis passing through the rotation centers of the driving pulley and the driven pulley. It was. However, the driven pulley is guided and slid by a guide member arranged substantially parallel to the axis passing through the rotation center of the drive pulley and the driven pulley, and then on the axis passing through the rotation center of the drive pulley and the driven pulley. When the urging force is applied along the axis, the driven pulley is guided and guided by the guiding member via the moving body at a position eccentric from the axis, so that the urging force of the urging means is applied to the guiding member. The moving body will tilt. On the other hand, when an urging force is applied along the axis of the guide member, the reaction force from the drive belt caused by the urging force of the urging means is deviated from the axis of the guide member. It will be on an axis passing through the center of rotation, and the moving body will be inclined with respect to the guide member by the reaction force. As described above, when the moving body is inclined with respect to the guide member, the moving body may not be guided and guided well.

  Therefore, according to this means, the urging force of the urging means acts between the part guided and guided by the guide member in the moving body and the part holding the driven pulley. The urging force of the urging means is applied to the guiding member side and the driven pulley side substantially evenly, so that the moving body can be prevented from being inclined with respect to the guiding member, and the moving member can be satisfactorily improved by the guiding member. It can be guided and guided.

  In addition, since the moving body can be guided and guided well by the guiding means, a predetermined tension can be favorably applied to the driving belt by the urging force of the urging means, whereby the driving pulley and the driven pulley can be applied. By appropriately adjusting the tension of the drive belt to be wound, the drive belt can be driven to rotate favorably.

  Further, according to this means, when the driving pulley is rotated by the rotation driving means, the driving belt rotates, and the movable body moves through the guided member together with the driving belt. Therefore, the moving means such as a screw member is used. In comparison, the moving speed of the movable body can be moved faster, and the player can be strongly impressed by the moving body that moves faster, so it is possible to focus on the movable body and entertain its performance. Thus, it is possible to prevent the interest in the game from decreasing.

  In addition, since the movable body is moved through the guided member by driving the drive belt, it is possible to further reduce the size compared to the case where the same amount of movement is moved using a solenoid or cylinder. Therefore, it can be easily installed in the gaming machine, and even if the moving amount of the movable body is increased, it can be installed in the gaming machine, so that the movable body can be moved more greatly. It is possible to make it easy to recognize the production operation, and to prevent the entertainment from being lowered by the production operation.

  Further, since the guided member is guided and guided by the guiding member, even if the guided member is moved using a flexible belt, the guided member can be guided and guided straight by the guiding member. In this case, the guided member, that is, the movable body can be favorably moved in a desired posture.

  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 mobile is
It is provided with a hook-like locking portion that opens in a direction away from the drive pulley with respect to the driven pulley and locks the shaft portion protruding from both sides of the driven pulley. .

  According to the structure of the means 2, the moving body is provided with a hook-shaped locking portion that is open on the side opposite to the driving pulley and locks the shaft portion of the driven pulley. As a result, the driven pulley and the drive belt can be easily assembled and the urging force is applied to the drive belt simply by locking the shaft portion to the locking portion while the drive belt is wound around the driven pulley. Can be made.

  More specifically, once the moving body is moved to the driving pulley side against the urging force of the urging means, the shaft portion of the driven pulley around which the driving belt is wound is inserted from the opened side of the moving body. Then, by applying the urging force of the urging means to the moving body, the moving body is urged by the urging means in a direction in which the drive pulley and the driven pulley are separated from each other, and the driven pulley is wound around. Since the drive belt restricts the movement of the drive pulley and the driven pulley in a direction away from each other, the shaft portion of the driven pulley is not detached from the locking portion of the moving body, and the shaft portion of the driven pulley can be satisfactorily locked. can do.

Means 3: In the constitution of means 1 or means 2,
“The mobile is
The guide member is provided with a guide hole into which the guide member is inserted and fitted.

  According to the structure of the means 3, the part guided and guided by the guide member in the moving body is a guide hole that is inserted and fitted into the guide member. Thereby, the structure for guiding and guiding to the guide member can be simplified, and the above structure can be easily realized.

Means 4: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 3,
“A plurality of engaged teeth are formed on the inner periphery of the drive pulley, and a plurality of engaging teeth that engage with the engaged teeth are formed on the inner periphery of the drive belt.” It is characterized by being.

  According to the configuration of the means 4, the drive belt is a toothed belt formed with engagement teeth, and the drive pulley is a toothed pulley formed with engaged teeth that engage with the engagement teeth. . As a result, the drive belt is wound around the drive pulley, the engaging teeth and the engaged teeth are engaged with each other, and the drive belt can be made difficult to slide on the outer peripheral surface of the drive pulley. The rotational drive can be reliably transmitted to the drive belt.

  In addition, the engagement between the engagement teeth and the engaged teeth ensures that the rotation of the drive pulley is transmitted to the drive belt. Even if the rotation speed of the drive pulley is increased, the drive pulley and the drive belt Since no slip occurs between the two, the drive belt can be driven at a higher speed, and the movable body can be moved at a higher speed via the guided member. It can be made interesting.

Means 5: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 4,
“The driving pulley is disposed on the upper side and the driven pulley is disposed on the lower side, respectively, and are spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction.”

  By the way, when moving the movable body in the vertical direction, as the arrangement position of the drive pulley and the driven pulley, either one should be arranged on the upper side, and either one should be arranged on the lower side. When the driving pulley is arranged on the lower side, the driving belt is pulled downward, that is, toward the driving pulley due to the weight of the guided member fixed to the driving belt, and the driving belt is wound around the driving pulley. The hooking force becomes weak, the drive belt and the drive pulley become slippery, and there is a risk that the drive belt cannot be driven sufficiently or the guided member fixed to the drive belt is lowered. . Therefore, it is conceivable that the driving pulley and the driven pulley are separated from each other by the urging means, and the winding force of the driving belt on the driving pulley is strengthened to make it difficult to slip. In this case, the urging force of the urging means is strong. In order to cope with the urging force, it is necessary to increase the strength of the drive pulley, the driven pulley, the drive belt, and the support member that supports them, and the size becomes large or expensive. Problems occur.

  According to the structure of the means 5, the driving pulley is arranged on the upper side and the driven pulley is arranged on the lower side. As a result, a force that pulls the drive belt downward, that is, in a direction away from the drive pulley, is exerted by the weight of the fixed guided member or the like, so that the drive belt is wrapped around the drive pulley by the force. The force becomes stronger, the frictional force between the drive pulley and the drive belt becomes larger and it becomes difficult to slip each other, the drive belt can be driven reliably by the drive pulley, and the drive pulley and the drive belt slip. The guided member can be prevented from descending, the movable body can be moved through the guided member, and the movable body can perform a predetermined rendering operation, thereby enhancing the excitement. can do.

  Further, since the winding force of the driving belt around the driving pulley is increased due to the weight of the guided member or the like, the urging means does not have to be stronger than necessary, so that the driving pulley or the driven pulley, It is not necessary to unnecessarily increase the strength of the drive belt, the support member that supports them, and the like, and it is possible to suppress the increase in size and cost.

  Further, the drive pulley and the driven pulley are arranged in the vertical direction, that is, the movable body is moved in the vertical direction via the guided member, so that the game medium flowing down the game area can be The movable body moves in the vertical direction substantially the same as the flow direction, and it is easy for the player to move the line of sight between the game medium and the movable body. Can be prevented.

  In addition, since the movable body is moved in the vertical direction, it is possible to increase the amount of movement of the movable body as much as possible. It is possible to entertain and prevent the interest from deteriorating. Moreover, since it can suppress that the dimension of the front-back direction of a game machine increases, it can be made to respond | correspond favorably to the existing island equipment of a hall | hole.

  In addition to the configuration of this means, in the case of a biasing means for biasing the driven pulley downward, or a drive belt or drive pulley further provided with engagement teeth or engaged teeth, Since the biasing force of the biasing means acts in addition to the weight from the guided member or the like, it can be pulled further downward to further increase the winding force of the driving belt around the driving pulley, and the engagement teeth The engaging force of the engaged teeth can be further increased, and slipping between the driving pulley and the driving belt can be further prevented.

Means 6: In any one of means 1 to means 5,
"A game board having a game area into which game media are driven by a player's operation,
The drive pulley, the rotational drive means, and the guide member are supported at least, and a mounting contact surface for mounting and fixing to the game board is provided, and the drive pulley is separated from a position where the driven pulley is disposed. And a base made of sheet metal that supports the other end of the urging means whose one end is supported by the movable body at a position extending in the direction of the movement.

  Here, examples of the “base” include “a material using a plate material having a predetermined thickness”, “a material obtained by bending a plate material having a predetermined thickness into a predetermined shape”, and the like. In addition, when a sheet material (for example, sheet metal) is bent as the base, the base can be made to have a higher rigidity by a bent portion than a single plate base, and can be manufactured at a low cost.

  By the way, when a base is attached to a game board, it is generally attached so that the game board and the base are in contact with each other over substantially the entire length of the base in order to increase the attachment strength. However, for example, the surface of the game board and the base may not match due to differences in dimensional tolerances or processing errors of the game board or base. If the base is attached and fixed to the game board in this state, the base will be distorted. There is a risk that the mounting strength may decrease due to looseness or looseness.

  According to the configuration of the means 6, a game board having a game area, a drive pulley, a rotation drive means, and an attachment contact surface for supporting and fixing the guide member to the game board are provided, and one end is supported by the moving body. And a sheet metal base that supports the other end of the biasing means.

  As a result, the drive pulley, the driven pulley, the rotation drive means, the guide member, etc. are supported by the base, and the base has a mounting contact surface for mounting and fixing to the game board. It is fixed on the panel. In other words, the entire base is not in contact with the game board, but only the mounting contact surface is in contact with the game board, so that the base is prevented from being distorted or rattling. In addition, the base can be more firmly attached and fixed to the game board by preventing the attachment strength from being lowered due to the occurrence of rattling.

  Then, the drive pulley, the rotation drive means, the guide member, and the like are attached and fixed to the game board via this base, and they can be firmly fixed, so even if the movable body is moved at a high speed They can be prevented from wobbling or distorting, and the movable body can be moved at a higher speed to have a strong impact. In addition, since they are firmly fixed, even if the length of the guide member is increased, it can be securely fixed without any problem, and the movable body has a larger moving amount, and a movable body with higher production effect. And can be more interesting.

  In addition, since the other end of the urging means is directly supported by the base made of sheet metal, even if the urging force of the urging means is strong, the urging means can be reliably supported and is applied to the drive belt by the urging means. Tension can be made favorable.

  In addition, it is desirable to support the position where the rotation driving means is supported with respect to the base at a position as close as possible to the mounting contact surface, so that the rotation driving means that is the source of vibration and driving reaction force is supported. It will be mounted and fixed to the game board through the mounting contact surface as close as possible, so that vibrations from the rotation drive means can be prevented from being transmitted to the entire base, Each member such as the guided member that is supported vibrates and breaks due to contact with other members, or the assembly of the members is loosened, so that the guided means cannot be guided and guided well. Can be prevented. Further, since it is possible to suppress the occurrence of vibration even when the rotation driving means is driven, it is possible to prevent the game board from vibrating through the base and to be driven into the game area by the vibration of the rotation driving means. It is possible to prevent the game media, the various winning devices, the game media payout device, and the like from being affected, and to play well.

  In addition, the base for attaching and fixing the base to the game board may be the front side of the game board or the rear side, and when mounting and fixing to the rear side, It is necessary to provide a through-hole penetrating through the movable body and make the movable body supported by the base through the through-hole visible from the player side.

Means 7: In the configuration of means 6,
“The mounting contact surface of the base is
The moving means and the guide member supporting the guide member are bent at a substantially right angle ".

  According to the configuration of the means 7, the base is made of a sheet metal having a mounting contact surface bent in a substantially right angle direction with respect to the support surface supporting the moving means and the guide member. Thereby, since the moving means and the guide member are supported in a direction substantially perpendicular to the mounting contact surface, the game board on which the mounting contact surface is fixed and the moving means and the guide member are less likely to interfere with each other. Thus, it is possible to satisfactorily attach and fix to the game board while supporting the moving means and the guide member.

  In addition, since the base can be press-molded, it can be manufactured in a large amount and at a low cost compared to a machined one, and a support surface for supporting the moving means and the guide member, and an attachment contact surface are provided. Since it is bent so as to be substantially at right angles, it becomes possible to have a higher strength and rigidity than the flat plate material by the bent portion, the base is deformed by the movement of the movable body, the moving means and the guide member The wobbling can be prevented and the movable body can be guided and guided reliably.

Means 8: In the constitution of means 6 or means 7,
“A first support member made of a resin that supports one end of the guide member and has a plurality of positioning protrusions;
A second support member that supports the other end of the guide member and is made of a resin having a plurality of positioning protrusions;
The base has a plurality of positioning holes corresponding to the positioning protrusions of the first support member and the second support member, and the positioning holes and the positioning protrusions are fitted to each other so that the base can The first support member and the second support member are positioned and supported at predetermined positions ”.

  By the way, in order to increase the moving distance of the movable body, it is conceivable to increase the length of the guide member. When the both ends of the guide member are supported, the support member that supports both ends of the guide member increases as the length of the guide member increases. For example, when the support members that support both ends of the guide member are integrally molded with resin, the larger the support member, the greater the molding distortion, and the guide member cannot be supported at a desired position, and the movable body is improved. There is a problem that guidance cannot be provided.

  Further, when the support member is enlarged, the mold for forming the support member is also enlarged, and there is a problem that the cost for manufacturing the support member is increased.

  According to the configuration of the means 8, both ends of the guide member are supported by the first support member and the second support member made of resin, and the positioning protrusions provided on the first support member and the second support member are arranged on the base made of sheet metal. The first support member and the second support member are positioned and supported at predetermined positions by being fitted into positioning holes provided at corresponding positions.

  Thereby, the magnitude | size of the 1st support member and 2nd support member which consist of resin can be made as small as possible, the distortion by resin molding can be made relatively small, and processing precision (molding precision) Since the first support member and the second support member are positioned and supported at predetermined positions by the base made of a relatively high sheet metal, the support accuracy of the guide member is maintained well even if the member supporting the guide member is enlarged. be able to. That is, even if the guide member is made large (long), the guide member can be supported at a desired position, and the guide member can guide and guide the movable body through the guided member. It can be made to move more greatly, it can make it easy to recognize the production | presentation operation | movement of a movable body, and it can prevent that an interest falls by the production | presentation operation | movement.

  In addition, since the first support member and the second support member member made of resin that support both ends of the guide member can be made as small as possible, the first support member and the second support member member are formed. The mold can be made small, and an increase in manufacturing costs can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, the first support member and the second support member can be easily positioned and supported at a predetermined position separated by a predetermined distance simply by fitting the positioning protrusion into the positioning hole, and the guide member can be easily positioned at a desired position. Placement can be supported.

  An effect display device capable of displaying a predetermined effect image may be provided on the gaming machine. In this case, a guide member, a guided member, and the like are arranged on the outer periphery of the effect display device, and a support shaft is provided. The movable body can be arranged to extend to the front side of the display device so that the movable body moves on the front side (player side) of the effect display device, thereby making the gaming machine with an unprecedented impact In addition, the synergistic effect with the complex movement of the movable body can make the player more entertaining and entertaining.

  Furthermore, it is desirable that the first support member and the second support member each include at least two positioning protrusions, and these positioning protrusions are preferably arranged at positions as far as possible. As a result, the positioning accuracy of the first support member and the second support member in the base can be further increased, and thus the support accuracy of the guide member can be increased.

  In addition, since the base and the guide member are arranged and supported by the first support member and the second support member so as to be substantially parallel to each other, when the base and the guide member are formed using a highly rigid material, they are mutually connected. As a result of the assembly, the overall strength and rigidity are further increased, and even if vibration or reaction force is applied due to movement of the guided member, the guided member or base does not bend or shake, and the guided member, that is, movable The body can be guided and guided well.

  As the “resin”, an appropriate material such as a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin can be used, and examples thereof include “polycarbonate”, “polypropylene”, “polyethylene”, and “polyurethane”. In addition, it is desirable that injection molding be possible.

Means 9: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 8,
“A support shaft that supports the movable body on an axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide member and is rotatably supported by the guided member;
The support shaft is rotated around the axis, and the movable body is disposed at a position opposite to the side where the movable member is held by the guided member via the support shaft, with the guide member interposed therebetween, in a predetermined direction. A solenoid having a plunger that advances and retreats, and a rotating means that includes a transmission means that converts linear motion caused by the advancement and retraction of the plunger in the solenoid into rotational motion and transmits the rotational motion to the support shaft. Features.

  Here, as the “transmission means”, “the base end is fixed to the support member and the distal end is connected to the plunger, so that the linear motion of the plunger is converted and the support member is rotated and transmitted”, “Using a crank mechanism, the linear motion of the plunger is converted and transmitted to rotate the support member”, and the like.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine, the movement of the movable body is only one direction, such as the movement of the movable body only in the vertical direction or the movement rotating in the front-rear direction. It becomes a simple movement, and by getting used to the production by the movement of the movable body, some players may get bored with the movement of the movable body and reduce the interest in the game.

  In addition, when a motor is used as a drive source for rotating the support shaft, a small motor such as that provided in the guided member generally has a small rotational torque, and the support shaft is rotated together with the movable body directly by the rotation shaft of the motor. It is difficult to do so, and the support shaft is rotated by increasing the torque by reducing the rotation speed through a plurality of gears. However, since the rotation speed is slow, the movement of the movable body is slow. At the same time, the response of the movement slowed down, and it was difficult to make a fast movement that had an impact and increased interest.

  According to the configuration of the means 9, the support shaft that holds the movable body and extends in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide member and is rotatably held by the guided member, the solenoid having the plunger that moves forward and backward, and the support shaft is rotated by the advance and retreat of the plunger. And a rotation means disposed on the opposite side of the guided member with respect to the side on which the movable body of the guided member is held.

  Thereby, since the movable body can be rotated around the axis of the support shaft, the movable body can be moved not only in the extending direction of the guide member but also in the direction around the axis of the support shaft. The movement of the movable body can be made more complex, and the excitement can be enhanced by making the movement with a higher production effect.

  Further, since the movable body is supported by the support shaft on the axis perpendicular to the axis of the guide member, for example, the guide member is disposed at the end of the game board, and the movable body supported by the support shaft is the game board. The support shaft can be extended from the guided member that is guided and guided by the guide member so that the movable body is positioned at a substantially center of the movable member. Can be enhanced.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine, since the size of the movable body is relatively small, the movable body is not conspicuous in the gaming machine, and there is a possibility that the effect by the movement of the movable body cannot be sufficiently obtained. Therefore, it is conceivable to make the movable body stand out by increasing the size of the movable body, so that the effect of the movement of the movable body can be enhanced. It is conceivable to move it. 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.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to guide and support one of the both ends of the movable body and move it in a predetermined direction. However, in this case, since the movable body is cantilevered, a large load is applied to the guided member on the side holding the movable body via the support shaft, and the slide held by the guided member is Uneven wear occurs due to uneven friction between the moving member and the guiding member, and the guided member guided by the guiding member is not smoothly guided and becomes awkward or cannot be guided. There is a fear.

  However, according to this means, the rotating means for rotating the support shaft is disposed on the opposite side of the guided member from the side on which the movable body is held. The member holds the movable body on one side with the guide member interposed therebetween, and holds the rotating means on the other side, and a predetermined load is applied to both sides of the guide member. The uneven load applied to the guide member is alleviated, the occurrence of uneven wear between the guided member and the guide member is suppressed, and the guided member guided and guided to the guide member by the uneven load is not smoothly guided and awkward It is possible to prevent movement and inability to guide guidance.

  In addition, since the guided member can be guided and guided by the guiding member in a good state as described above, the movable body can be relatively enlarged, and the movable body can be made more conspicuous and the movable body can move. Because the movable body can be supported in a cantilever manner by the support shaft, only one mechanism for moving the guided member is required and both ends of the movable body are supported. However, it is not necessary to provide a complicated mechanism in which both ends move in the same manner in synchronization with each other as compared with the case where the guidance is guided at both ends, and it is possible to suppress an increase in size as a whole. It becomes easy to prepare for the machine, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the cost for the mechanism for moving the guided member, that is, the movable body.

  Further, the rotating means includes a solenoid having a plunger that moves forward and backward, and a transmission means that converts the linear motion of the plunger in the solenoid into a rotational motion and rotates the support shaft around the axis. Since a solenoid is used as a source, it is possible to make quick movements with good response compared to the case of using a motor, and a movable body can produce a strong impact operation, which enhances the excitement. It can be.

  Also, when the movable body is directly rotated by the solenoid plunger, the solenoid itself must be changed in order to change the amount of rotation, and it cannot be easily changed, and the design freedom is low. There is. However, in this means, since the support shaft is rotated by the rotation means, the rotation amount of the support shaft can be easily changed with respect to the advance / retreat amount of the plunger by the rotation means. The degree of movement can be increased, and the movement that can be more interesting can be made movable.

  By the way, in general, in a solenoid having a plunger that moves forward and backward, the plunger is urged in a predetermined direction by the elastic force of the spring, and when the solenoid is energized, the plunger overcomes the urging force of the spring and is attached by the spring. It moves forward and backward in the direction opposite to the direction of force. For this reason, when the forward / backward direction of the plunger in the solenoid is set to the vertical direction, gravity applied to the plunger acts on the plunger in addition to the biasing force of the spring. If the force becomes weaker or stronger, for example, if the urging force becomes weaker, when the solenoid is not energized, the plunger may not move sufficiently and may not be in a predetermined position. Further, when the urging force becomes strong, there are problems that the plunger does not move sufficiently even when the solenoid is energized, or that a large amount of power is required. In addition, due to these, the advancement / retraction of the plunger becomes insufficient, and the movement of the movable body becomes insufficient, making it difficult to perform the desired movement, and there is a possibility that the effect of the movement cannot be obtained.

  Therefore, the rotating means is “a solenoid arranged so that the plunger advances and retreats in a substantially horizontal direction, and a transmission member connected to the plunger with the base end fixed to the support shaft and the tip extending in either the vertical direction. It is also possible to make the plunger forward and backward directions substantially horizontal, thereby reducing the influence of gravity on the plunger forward and backward as much as possible. By moving forwards and backwards reliably, it is possible to move the movable body with certainty so that the desired performance operation can be performed, and the performance effect of the movement can be fully exerted to prevent the player's interest from deteriorating. Can do. Further, since the transmission means is a transmission member whose base end is fixed to the support shaft and whose distal end extends in any of the vertical directions and is connected to the plunger, the linear movement of the plunger is supported by the simple configuration transmission means. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in cost for realizing the transmission means. The direction in which the transmission member is extended is preferably extended so that the transmission member connected to the plunger is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal direction when the plunger moves forward and backward at a substantially intermediate position. . Thereby, even if the amount of forward / backward movement of the plunger is the same, the support shaft can be rotated more greatly.

  On the other hand, in the case of a solenoid having a plunger that moves forward and backward, the size of the plunger is generally larger than the dimension in the forward / backward direction of the plunger and the dimension perpendicular to the forward / backward direction of the plunger. The dimensions are large. For this reason, when the solenoid is arranged so that the advance / retreat direction of the plunger is substantially horizontal and the extension direction of the support shaft is substantially horizontal, the extension of the support shaft is assumed to be the same direction as the support shaft. When the exit direction becomes longer as a whole, or the overlap between the support shaft and the solenoid becomes larger, the size of the movable body supported by the support shaft becomes relatively small when preparing for a gaming machine. May become inconspicuous and impact may be reduced, and it may not be possible to expect the effect of enhancing interest. Further, if the plunger is advanced and retracted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the support shaft, the dimension of the support shaft in the direction perpendicular to the axis becomes large, and there is a problem that it is easy to buffer with other members.

  Therefore, the rotating means is defined as “a solenoid arranged so that the plunger advances and retreats substantially vertically and a predetermined length extending in a substantially horizontal direction and in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the support shaft, and between the one end and the other end of the solenoid. Connected to the plunger, one end is rotatably supported at a position opposite to the support shaft across the connection with the plunger, and the other end is located at a position opposite to the connection with the plunger across the support shaft A distal end is rotatably supported on the other end of the first flange member and the first flange member, and a base end is fixed to the support shaft so as to be integrally rotatable, and is shorter than the first flange member. It is also possible to provide a transmission means composed of a second flange member, which can increase the overall length of the support shaft in the extending direction, or increase the overlap between the support shaft and the solenoid. do it, The size of the movable body supported by the support shaft when preparing for the technical machine is relatively small, and it becomes possible to prevent the movable body from becoming inconspicuous and to make the movable body as large as possible. It is possible to increase the impact of the movable body and to expect the effect of enhancing the interest. In addition, since it is possible to suppress an increase in the dimension of the support shaft in the direction perpendicular to the axis, it is possible to make it difficult to buffer with other members, and it is possible to easily provide a gaming machine. The advance / retreat of the plunger may be advanced / retracted from the upper part of the solenoid or may be advanced / retreated from the lower part of the solenoid, and can be selected as appropriate. In addition, the amount of movement of the other end of the first rod member increases with respect to the amount of advancement and retreat of the plunger, and the length of the second rod member is greater than the length from the other end of the first rod member to the connection portion with the plunger. Since the length is short, the rotation around the axis of the support shaft can be further rotated through the second flange member, and the movement of the movable body can be increased to make the movement more interesting. it can. Furthermore, since the plunger and the support shaft are disposed between one end and the other end of the first rod member, the second rod member connecting the other end of the first rod member and the support shaft is outside the first rod member. Therefore, the entire transmission means can be reduced in size, and the transmission means can be easily provided.

  The relationship between the movable body and the support shaft is as follows: “The movable body is supported at an eccentric position by the support shaft, and the solenoid plunger moves through the support shaft and the transmission means due to the gravity applied to the movable body. May be biased in the direction opposite to the direction of movement due to energization of the solenoid, so that when the solenoid is de-energized, the plunger moves in the direction opposite to the direction of energization due to gravity applied to the movable body. The plunger is automatically moved forward or backward to the moving end, that is, the plunger can be automatically returned when not energized. Even when an elastic member such as a spring for returning is provided as in the case of a conventional solenoid, it can be returned sufficiently even if its elastic force is weak, so it is necessary to use an expensive elastic member having a strong elastic force. It is possible to suppress an increase in cost.

Means 10: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 9,
“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;
A guide member that is controlled by the guide member in a direction substantially perpendicular to its extending direction and held by the guided member, and the guided member rotates about an axis of the guiding member It further comprises an anti-rotation means for preventing the above-mentioned ".

  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. Examples of the material of the “guide member” include “resin”, “metal”, “ceramics”, “composite material such as glass fiber reinforced resin and carbon fiber reinforced resin”, and the like. On the other hand, “guided members” include “things that are guided by contacting the outer surface of the guide member”, “things that are guided by contacting the inner surface or the recessed portion of the guide member”, “fit with the guide member” What is guided by combining ", etc. are mentioned. Further, the rotation preventing means may support the weight of the guided member.

  By the way, 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 production performance of the body may be impaired, and the desired production effect may not be achieved, and even if the guided proximal end is small, the vibration at the distal end away from the proximal end And the movable body may come into contact with the effect display device and other members to cause problems such as breakage.

  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.

  In addition, when the guided member that holds the movable body is fixed to the drive belt and moved, the drive belt is generally flexible and easy to bend. Therefore, the drive belt has an action of suppressing the swing of the movable body. On the contrary, since the drive belt is easily bent, it is easy to vibrate when it is driven to rotate, and the movable body may be shaken via the guided member due to the vibration of the drive belt.

  According to the configuration of the means 10, the rotation prevention includes the guide member disposed so as to be substantially parallel to the guide member, and the guided member that is held by the guided member and is prevented from moving in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide member. Means are further provided.

  Thus, the rotation preventing means can prevent the guided member from rotating around the axis of the guiding member, so even if the guided member is moved by a drive belt having a lot of vibration, the guided member It is possible to satisfactorily prevent the held 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 to prevent unintentional shake. It is possible to reliably perform a desired production operation and prevent a decrease in interest, and it is possible to make the movable body larger, making the movable body more noticeable, The production effect by the movable body 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.

  In addition, since the rotation preventing 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.

  And a guide member disposed at a position that is substantially parallel to the guide member and spaced apart from the guide member by a guide member, and a guided member that is held by the guide member by restricting movement of the guide member in the direction perpendicular to the axis by the guide member. 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 guide member is held by the guided member. . As a result, the installation space can be reduced as much as possible, so that a movable body having a moving amount that can be expected to produce a desired effect can be installed in the gaming machine, and the player's interest can be further enhanced. Can be.

  The guide member and the guided member as rotation preventing means may be a long member having the same cross section in the guide member, and the U member having a U-shaped cross section sandwiching the guide member. The guide member and the guided member can each have a simple configuration, and the rotation preventing means can be easily realized. Moreover, a general extrusion material, a drawing material, etc. can be used as a guide member, and the cost concerning a guide member etc. can be reduced.

  In addition, the guide member may be a rod-shaped member having a circular cross-sectional outer shape, that is, a column-shaped rod-like member. By this, the guide member is formed into a guide member such as a general round bar or pipe material. Since it is possible to suppress an increase in the cost and the rotation prevention means is provided, the guided member can be a columnar rod-shaped member that is easily rotated around the axis of the guiding member. It is possible to prevent the guided member from rotating (shaking) well. The guide member only needs to have a circular outer shape, and may be a solid member or a hollow member.

  Furthermore, “the movable body is held by the guided member between the guide member and the guide member”, and the guided member holds the movable body outside the guide member and the guide member. Compared to the case, it is possible to suppress an increase in the width in the direction in which the guide member and the guide member are lined up, and it is possible to reduce the size as a whole. It can be a gaming machine that is enhanced. Further, when the guided member is guided and guided not only by the guiding member but also by the guide member, by holding the movable body between the guiding member and the guide member, the guided member and the guiding member are changed from the guided member to the guiding member. Such a load can be applied substantially evenly, the uneven load applied to the guided member and the guide member is alleviated, and uneven wear due to uneven friction occurs between the guided member and the guide member and the guide member. It is possible to prevent the guided member, that is, the movable body from being smoothly guided and awkwardly moving or being unable to be guided and guided by the uneven load.

Means 11: In the constitution of means 10,
“One end side and the other end side of the guide member in the rotation preventing means are respectively supported by the first support member and the second support member”.

  According to the structure of the means 11, both ends of the guide member in the rotation preventing means are supported by the first support member and the second support member. Thereby, it is not necessary to separately provide a support member for supporting the guide member, the configuration for supporting the guide member can be simplified, and an increase in cost can be suppressed. Further, since the support accuracy of the guide member can be improved similarly to the guide member, the relationship between the guide member and the guide member (for example, parallelism) even if the guide member is lengthened with the increase in the length of the guide member. Can be maintained in a good state, the guided member can be prevented from swinging well, and the movable body can be made larger to make it more conspicuous, and the entertainment of the movable body can be enhanced. Can do.

  When the guide member is used together with the base and the guide member and has high rigidity, the guide member is supported by the base via the first support member and the second support member, so the synergistic effect of the base, the guide member, and the guide member. It is possible to further increase the overall strength rigidity, and even if the guide member is made longer or the movable body held by the guide member is enlarged, the guided member can be guided and guided well by the guide member. It is possible to increase the amount of movement and the size of the movable body to make the movable body stand out and enhance the effect.

Means 12: In the constitution of means 10 or means 11,
"The guide member in the rotation preventing means is relative to the axis of the guide member.
A direction opposite to the direction of the movable body held by the guided member,
Alternatively, it is arranged at a position that is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the movable body held by the guided member.

  By the way, there are various possible directions for disposing the rotation preventing means relative to the direction of the movable body held by the guided member, but when the rotation preventing means is disposed in the same direction as the movable body, the movable body Since there is a portion where the rotation prevention means wraps, there arises a problem that the movable body becomes smaller by the amount of the rotation prevention means.

  According to the configuration of the means 12, the guide member of the rotation preventing means is substantially perpendicular to the side on which the movable body is disposed or the side on which the movable body is disposed with respect to the axial center of the guide member. It is arranged on the side.

  As a result, the guide member is not disposed on the same side as the side on which the movable body is disposed with respect to the axis of the guide member, so that the guide member, that is, the rotation preventing means and the movable body wrap (overlap) each other. Since it is possible to prevent the movable body from being reduced by wrapping and to increase the size of the movable body as much as possible, the movable body can be a large movable body with a large amount of movement. It is possible to make the game stand out and enhance its interest by the production operation.

  When the guide member is disposed on the side opposite to the movable body with respect to the axis of the guide member, the movable body, the guide member, and the rotation prevention means are substantially linear when viewed from the axis direction of the guide member. As a result, the amount of protrusion in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the movable member relative to the axis of the guide member can be suppressed. For example, the movable member and the guide member are arranged so as to be substantially along the surface of the game board. In this case, since the thickness in the front-rear direction can be suppressed, it is possible to suppress an increase in the thickness (distance in the front-rear direction) of the gaming machine, which is conventionally used in a game hall or the like. It can cope with island facilities where game machines are installed.

  In addition, when the guide member is arranged on the side perpendicular to the axis of the movable member with respect to the axis of the guide member, the length in the direction in which the movable body and the guide member are arranged can be suppressed. The size (length) of the movable body can be made as large as possible, and by realizing a larger movable body, it can be more interesting than an impact.

Means 13: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 12,
“It further comprises two sliding members that are slidably guided by the guide member and held at predetermined intervals by the guided member”.

  Here, as the “sliding member”, a member that can restrict the movement of the guide member in the direction perpendicular to the axis is desirable, and “the circular or polygonal bush shape”, “the dovetail shape”, “T In particular, when the bush shape is used, the guide member and the sliding member can be made of a variety of mold materials and standard materials which are inexpensive and abundant in types.

  The “guided member” includes “a body portion that holds the sliding members so as not to approach each other and a fixing member that fixes the sliding members so as not to be separated from each other”, “ A main body that holds the guide member so as not to approach and separate from each other and restricts the movement of the guide member in one direction with respect to the direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide member, and holds the slide member so as not to approach and separate from each other. In contrast, “consisting of a fixing member that restricts movement in the other direction”, “a combination of the main body and the fixing member as appropriate”, and the like.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine, since the size of the movable body is relatively small, the movable body is not conspicuous in the gaming machine, and there is a possibility that the effect by the movement of the movable body cannot be sufficiently obtained. Therefore, it is conceivable to make the movable body stand out by relatively increasing the size of the movable body so that the effect of the movement of the movable body can be enhanced, holding the enlarged movable body on the guided member, It can be considered that the guided member can be moved in the extending direction of the guiding member for guiding and guiding the guided member. However, in this case, the guided member is also enlarged with the increase in the size of the movable body, and when the guided member is slidably guided by the guiding member, the contact area of the sliding portion increases. Increased sliding resistance makes it impossible to guide and guide the guided member satisfactorily, or a moving means for moving the guided member requires a large driving force, which increases the overall size of the game. There is a risk that the machine will not be equipped.

  According to the configuration of the means 13, the guided member is configured to hold the two sliding members slidably guided by the guiding member at a predetermined interval. As a result, the guided member holding the movable body is slidably guided to the guiding member via the two sliding members, so that the contact area of the sliding portion can be reduced as much as possible. The dynamic resistance can be reduced, the guided member can be guided and guided well in a predetermined direction together with the movable body, and the movable body can be enlarged, making the movable body more conspicuous and more effective. It is possible to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, since the sliding resistance can be prevented from increasing even if the movable body is enlarged, the guided member holding the movable body can be guided well without using a large moving means having a large driving force. It is possible to guide, and a movable body of a desired size can be provided in the gaming machine, which can be more interesting.

  Furthermore, since the sliding resistance can be reduced, the driving force required to move the guided member in a stationary state can be reduced, and the guided member can be easily started to move. That is, since the movement response of the guided member can be increased, the guided member, that is, the movable body can be moved quickly, the impact due to the movement of the movable body can be further increased, and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, as a predetermined space | interval of two sliding members, it is desirable to arrange | position in the position away as much as possible. More specifically, when the clearance between the guiding member and the sliding member is the same, the smaller the distance between the two sliding members, the larger the backlash of the guided member and the worse the stability of the guided member. On the other hand, the larger the distance between the two sliding members, the smaller the backlash of the guided member, and the stability of the guided member is relatively improved. Therefore, the guided member can be guided and guided in a more stable state by the guiding member by disposing the two sliding members as far as possible.

  In addition, since the two sliding members are held at a predetermined interval, for example, even when the movable body is held at a position extending in one direction from the guided member (the movable body is cantilevered by a support shaft). The guided member can be prevented from tilting or rattling with respect to the guiding member, and the guided member, that is, the movable body can be guided and guided in a stable and good state, and the movable body can be enlarged. It is possible to make the movable body more conspicuous and to have a higher production effect, and it is possible to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

Means 14: In the configuration of means 13,
“The guide member is
A friction-reducing layer is formed at least at a site where the sliding member slides ”.

  Here, as the “friction reducing layer”, for example, “a mirror polishing layer capable of reducing friction by polishing the surface”, “metal plating layer of chromium or the like”, “resin coating coated with a resin capable of reducing friction” Layer (Engineering plastic is preferable as the resin, and among them, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon (registered trademark), Turkite (registered trademark), BEAREE (registered trademark)), which is a fluorine-based resin, is preferable). Etc.

  By the way, it is conceivable to reduce the frictional resistance by applying a lubricant such as machine oil or grease to the sliding portions that slide in contact with each other. As a result, the applied lubricant may scatter and cause dirt, or if an electrical component or the like is disposed in the vicinity, there is a risk of short circuit or leakage due to the lubricant.

  According to the structure of the means 14, a friction reduction layer is formed in the site | part where the sliding member of a guide member slides. As a result, the sliding resistance between the guiding member and the sliding member can be reduced, so that the guided member can be guided and guided satisfactorily through the sliding member, and the friction at the sliding portion is reduced. Thus, it is possible to prevent the guide member and the sliding member from being worn out at an early stage and causing a malfunction of the guided member, that is, the movable body.

  In addition, since the friction reducing layer is formed on the induction member, the lubricant is not scattered compared to the case where the lubricant is used, and the occurrence of contamination due to the sliding of the sliding member is prevented. In addition, electrical components and the like can be arranged in the vicinity of the guide member, and the degree of design freedom of the gaming machine can be increased to further enhance the interest.

Means 15: In the constitution of means 13 or means 14,
“The guide member has a circular cross-sectional outer shape, and the sliding member has a bush shape to be inserted and fitted into the guide member”.

  Here, “the cross-sectional outer shape is a circular shape” may be any solid or hollow member as long as the outer shape is a circle. In addition, the “bush shape” may be a cylindrical shape having a circular hole that fits with the guide member, and may include a flange or the like for holding the guide member.

  According to the configuration of the means 15, the guide member is formed into a rod shape having a circular cross-sectional outer shape, and the sliding member is formed into a bush shape that fits with the guide member. As a result, the guide member can be a mold such as a general round bar or pipe material, and the slide member can be a general cylindrical bush, which increases the cost of the guide member and the slide member. It is possible to suppress the sliding, and it is possible to slide the sliding member satisfactorily.

Means 16: In any one configuration from means 9 to means 15,
"It further comprises two support bushes that are inserted and fitted into the support shaft,
The two support bushes are held by the guided member at a predetermined interval, so that the support shaft is rotatably held by the guided member via the support bush. To do.

  According to the configuration of the means 16, the support shaft is rotatably held on the guided member via the two support bushes. As a result, compared with the case where the support shaft is rotatably held by the guided member as a whole, the contact portion with the support shaft is reduced as much as possible, and the frictional resistance applied to the support shaft is reduced. Therefore, the support shaft can be rotated favorably, and the movable body supported by the support shaft can be smoothly operated to enhance the excitement.

Means 17: In the configuration of means 16,
"The guided member is
It has a main body part that holds the two sliding members and the two support bushes by sandwiching them at predetermined intervals, and a fixing member ”.

  Here, “holding between the main body portion and the fixing member” is sufficient if it can be held by sandwiching the sliding member and the supporting bush between the main body portion and the fixing member. “Attached from both sides in the axial direction”, “Attached from both sides in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the sliding member and the supporting bush”, “One of the sliding member and the supporting bush from the axial direction, and the other What is sandwiched from the direction perpendicular to the axis ”and the like.

  According to the configuration of the means 17, the two sliding members and the supporting bush are sandwiched between the main body portion and the fixing member of the guided member. Accordingly, the two sliding members and the support bush can be easily held at a predetermined interval by the main body portion and the fixing member, and can be easily assembled.

  As the guided member, for example, the body portion is provided with an insertion hole through which the guiding member can be inserted, and a stepped recess for accommodating the sliding member is formed at both ends of the insertion hole. The sliding member is prevented from coming close to each other by contacting the sliding member, and the fixing member comes into contact with the axially outer end surface of the sliding member housed in the stepped recess of the main body portion. A retaining piece may be provided to restrict the sliding members from being separated from each other by the retaining piece of the fixing member. Accordingly, the sliding member can be held at a predetermined position by simply fixing the fixing member to the main body, and can be easily assembled. Further, since the movement of the sliding member in the direction perpendicular to the axis is restricted only by the main body, the sliding member is compared with the case where the main body and the fixing member cooperate and restrict the movement. It is possible to use a single member in which the portion that restricts the movement is continuous, and the movement can be more firmly restricted.

  Further, the guided member may be provided with a housing portion space and a housing portion in which a predetermined amount of gap is formed between the guide member and the support shaft between the two sliding members and the support bush. Thus, it becomes possible to store a lubricant such as machine oil or grease in the storage space or the storage, and the lubricant between the sliding member and the guide member, or between the support bush and the support shaft. Sliding resistance, frictional resistance, and the like can be further reduced, and can be moved and rotated more smoothly.

Means 18: In any one configuration from means 6 to means 17,
“The game machine further includes a frame-shaped main character that is arranged in the game area of the game board and has at least a rolling effect surface on which the game medium can roll”.

  Here, the “rolling effect surface” means that the game medium is rolled to give a predetermined effect action to the game medium so that the player's interest is enhanced by the movement of the game medium. For example, “the rolling surface is fixed and the supplied game medium is rolled in a predetermined direction (left and right direction and front and rear direction) and then released from a predetermined position (for example, fixed type Stage) ”,“ A structure in which a part or all of the rolling surface is movable, and the supplied game medium rolls in a predetermined direction (left-right direction and front-rear direction) and then releases from a predetermined position. (For example, a movable type stage) "and the like.

  According to the configuration of the means 18, the main character having a rolling effect surface is arranged in the game area. As a result, not only the above-described directing operation of the movable body, but also the movement of the game medium that rolls on the rolling effect surface (stage) of the main character can increase the interest of the player. Can be enhanced.

  Note that the rolling effect surface may be a movable body, which can greatly move the rolling effect surface or make a complicated movement, and accordingly, the game media on the rolling effect surface Since the movement can be complicated, it is possible to make the movement more impactful, and it is possible to enhance the interest by making the player pay attention to the rolling effect surface and the game medium.

Means 19: In any one configuration from means 6 to means 18,
“The game board has at least one through hole penetrating in the front-rear direction,
The mounting contact surface of the base is mounted and fixed on the rear surface side of the game board so that the movable body is visible to the player through one of the through holes. To do.

  By the way, the front side and the rear side of the game board can be considered as a part for attaching and fixing the base that supports the guide member for guiding and moving the movable body in a predetermined direction to the game board. When it is mounted and fixed on the front side of the board, a space for mounting and fixing the base must be secured on the front side of the game board. Usually, a game medium is driven into the front of the game board and flows down. Since the area is formed, there is a problem that the game area is narrowed if a space for mounting the base is secured. As a result, the flow range of the game medium is narrowed, so that the movement of the game medium tends to be monotonous, and some players may get bored with the movement of the game medium and reduce the interest.

  Further, the base supports a first support member, a second support member, a guide member, a guided member, a moving means, and the like for moving the movable body, and these members are visually recognized from the player side. It becomes easy, and since the members can be visually recognized, a complicated impression is given and there is a possibility that the interest in the game is lowered. Therefore, it is conceivable to cover these members with a predetermined decorative body, etc., but in this case, the decorative body that covers them becomes an essential member, so the design of the entire gaming machine will be restricted, and with other gaming machines May be difficult to differentiate.

  According to the structure of the means 19, the mounting contact surface of the base is fixedly mounted on the rear surface side of the game board having the through hole so that the movable body can be visually recognized through the through hole. As a result, even if a base is attached to the rear side of the game board, the player can visually recognize the movable body guided and guided by the guide member supported by the base through the through hole, and the movement of the movable body can be enjoyed. It may be possible to suppress a decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the base is attached and fixed to the rear side of the game board, even if the above-mentioned movable body is provided in the gaming machine, the game area does not become narrow due to the attachment and fixation of the base. It can be ensured and the movement of the game medium can be prevented from becoming a monotonous movement, and the entertainment can be prevented from deteriorating.

  Furthermore, since the base is attached and fixed to the rear side of the game board, the first support member, the second support member, the guide member, the guided member, the moving means, and the like supported by the base and the base are not put on the through hole. By attaching and fixing in such a manner, these members can be made difficult to see from the player side through the through hole, and it can be prevented from giving a complicated impression by seeing them, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest can do.

Means 20: In the configuration of means 19,
“The main player is provided to cover one of the through holes in the game board from the front of the game board,
The movable body is visible through the inside of the main object frame shape ”.

  According to the configuration of the means 20, the main character is arranged in a frame shape so as to cover the through hole of the game board from the front, and the movable body provided behind the game board via the base is arranged inside the frame shape of the main character object. It can be seen through. As a result, the main character is arranged on the front side and the movable body is arranged on the rear side, so that it can be a deep gaming machine and can be differentiated from other gaming machines. It can be made.

Means 21: In any one configuration from means 6 to means 20,
“It further includes an effect display means arranged so as to be visible within the game area of the game board from the player and capable of displaying a predetermined effect mode”.

  Here, the “predetermined presentation mode” is a display mode in which a character, background, design, and the like are used as a still image or a moving image to make a certain movement or display with a story. “Character” means an image other than a graphic sequence and background, and is created for characters such as novels, comics, movies, and plays, animals, plants, or props, or this game machine. Virtual persons, animals, plants, or props. Further, the “symbol” is a design for presentation made up of numbers, symbols, or a combination of them with a picture.

  In addition, as “effect display means”, “liquid crystal display (LCD)”, “CRT”, “dot matrix”, “light emitting diode (LED)”, “7 segment LED”, “electroluminescence (EL)”, “Fluorescent display tube”, “incandescent lamp”, “plasma display (PDP)”, “laser display”, and the like.

  According to the structure of the means 21, the effect display means which can display a predetermined effect aspect is provided. Thereby, since the player's interest can be enhanced also by the effect mode displayed on the effect display means, the gaming machine can be further enhanced.

  Further, the movable body may be caused to perform a production operation in association with the production mode displayed on the production display means, thereby providing the player with an unprecedented production of the production mode and the movable body. It is possible to expect the effect that the impact on the appearance can be drastically increased, and it can be more interesting.

Means 22: In the configuration of means 21,
“The movable body guided and guided by the guide member supported by the base is arranged so as to appear and appear on the front side of the effect display means by being guided and guided”. To do.

  According to the structure of the means 22, the moving movable body is arranged so as to appear and appear on the front side of the effect display means. Thereby, it is possible to make the production mode displayed on the production display means and the movable body as close as possible, and to make the production mode and the production operation of the movable body more easily associated with each other. The collaboration by the moving operation of the movable body can provide an unprecedented high-impact production and enhance the interest of the player.

  In addition, if the base supporting the guiding member or moving means for guiding and moving the movable body is securely attached to the game board, the base will not be shaken. In addition, there is no risk that the base or the member supported by the base will be in contact with the effect display means, and the movable body can be moved favorably without being damaged or the movable body cannot be moved. It can be prepared well.

  When the movable body does not perform the rendering operation, the movable body may be moved from the front side of the rendering display means by the moving means, whereby the rendering mode displayed on the rendering display means is blocked by the movable body. Therefore, it is possible to make the player visually recognize the entire production mode, and to prevent the player's interest from being lowered by blocking the production mode.

Means 23: In any one configuration from means 6 to means 22,
“The mounting contact surface is arranged on the upper side of the base”.

  By the way, when a base for supporting a moving means for moving a movable body, a guide member, or the like is attached to the game board, in general, in order to increase the mounting strength, the game board and the base are provided over substantially the entire length of the base. And the base are attached using screws or the like at more positions. However, for example, the surface of the game board and the base may not match due to differences in dimensional tolerances or processing errors of the game board or base, and if the base is attached and fixed to the game board in that state, the base or game board will be There is a risk that it will be distorted, or rattling will occur and the mounting strength will decrease, causing problems.

  According to the configuration of the means 23, the mounting contact surface for supporting the rotation driving means, the guide member and the like and mounting the same on the game board is provided on the upper side of the base. As a result, only the mounting contact surface, which is a part of the entire length of the base, is attached and fixed to the game board, so even if there is a dimensional error of the game board or base, It is possible to reduce the influence of the error as much as possible, and even if the base is mounted and fixed to the game board, it can be prevented from causing defects such as distortion to the game board. Can be installed. Therefore, even if the base supporting the guide member is lengthened by increasing the length of the guide member that guides and guides the movable body, the base can be satisfactorily attached and fixed to the game board. It is possible to make the movable body move greatly by lengthening it, making it easy to recognize the performance operation of the movable body, and preventing the player's interest from being reduced by the performance operation. can do.

  In addition, the mounting contact surface disposed on the upper side of the base is fixed to the game board, that is, the mounting is fixed only on one side of the base. Only one side (upper side) is required, and the labor required for mounting can be simplified.

  By the way, there are various possible positions for the mounting contact surface on the base. However, when the mounting contact surface is disposed on either the left or right side of the base, the mounting contact surface is mounted on the game board. The center of gravity of the base is placed at a position that is greatly decentered in the left and right directions, and the mounting contact surface and screws for mounting are not only subject to the weight applied to the base but also to the rotational moment due to the eccentricity of the center of gravity. There is a problem in that a screw or the like cannot endure due to the force and the base cannot be fixed, or the base (mounting contact surface) is deformed to cause a problem.

  In addition, when the mounting contact surface is arranged below the base, for example, a lateral force acts on the surface of the game board due to transfer of the gaming machine and the center of gravity of the base from the vertical line of the mounting contact surface. If it is shifted to either the left or right side, a rotational moment acting to rotate the base around the mounting contact surface due to the weight applied to the base acts, and the base cannot be fixed satisfactorily as described above. There is a problem that a problem occurs due to deformation.

  However, according to this means, since the position of the mounting contact surface of the base is the upper side of the base, a force in the left and right direction acts on the surface of the game board, and the base of the base from the vertical line of the mounting contact surface. Even if the center of gravity shifts to the left or right, the rotation moment applied to the center of gravity acts to return the center of gravity of the base to the vertical line of the mounting contact surface, and the base returns to its original position. It is possible to suppress the force other than the weight acting on the base, screws, etc. from acting on the base, and to fix and fix the base satisfactorily, and to prevent the base from being deformed and causing problems. it can.

  In addition, the guide member, the rotation drive means, the drive pulley, and the like are attached and fixed to the game board via the base, and can be firmly fixed, so that even if the movable body is moved at a high speed, Shaking or distortion can be prevented, and the movable body can be moved at a higher speed to have a strong impact. In addition, since they are firmly fixed, even if the length of the guide member is increased, it can be securely fixed without any problem, and the movable body has a larger moving amount, and a movable body with higher production effect. And can be more interesting.

  Furthermore, since the base can be firmly attached and fixed to the game board, the attached base can be prevented from moving, and the guide member supported by the base and the moving means are in contact with other members. It is possible to prevent the contacted member from being damaged and being unable to move the guided member.

  In addition, the part for mounting and fixing the base to the game board may be the front side of the game board or the rear side. It is necessary to provide a through-hole penetrating through the movable body and make the movable body supported by the base through the through-hole visible from the player side.

  In addition, it is desirable that “a mounting hole for inserting a screw is formed in the upper part of the mounting contact surface of the base”, so that the base can be attached to the game board with the screw through the mounting hole, By mounting and fixing with screws at the upper part of the contact surface, it is possible to make the rotational moment applied to the screw and the mounting contact surface as difficult as possible for the same reason as described above, and the base is attached to the game board well. Can be fixed. Note that the smaller the number of mounting holes, that is, the number of screws for mounting, can simplify the mounting effort, and if the mounting holes are arranged close to the vertical line of the center of gravity of the base, the mounting holes Can be as small as possible (for example, one or two).

The movable body that is guided and guided by the guide member supported by the base is arranged so as to be guided and guided on the front side, and is visible to the player in the game area of the game board. And an effect display means capable of displaying a predetermined effect mode.

  According to the configuration of the means 24, a game board having a game area into which a game medium is to be placed and a through-hole penetrating in the front-rear direction, and a game medium that is arranged so as to cover the through-hole of the game board from the front can roll. A frame-shaped main character having a rolling effect surface, a columnar guide member extending in the vertical direction and having a friction reducing layer formed on the surface, and two bush-shaped slides inserted into the guide member. A moving member, a support shaft extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide member, a movable body supported by the support shaft, two support bushes that are inserted and fitted into the support shaft and rotatably support the support shaft, and a main body portion The sliding member and the support shaft are clamped at a predetermined interval with the fixed member to hold the support shaft and are guided and guided by the guide member, and the drive pulley formed with the engaged teeth and disposed on the upper side , And below Driven pulley, a drive belt having engagement teeth to be engaged with engaged teeth of the drive pulley, wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley, and fixed to the guided member, and the drive pulley relative to the driven pulley A locking portion that opens the opposite side to the shaft portion of the driven pulley, a moving body having a guide hole into which the guide member is inserted and fitted, and one end between the locking portion and the guiding hole of the moving body.

Transmission A rotation means disposed on the opposite side of the guided member to the side on which the movable member of the guided member is held, and a resin having a positioning projection that supports one end of the guiding member and the guide member A first support member made of a resin, a second support member made of a resin that supports the other end of the guide member and the guide member and has a positioning projection, and a positioning corresponding to the positioning projections of the first support member and the second support member A support surface having a hole and a mounting contact surface that is bent substantially perpendicularly to the support surface are provided to position and support the first support member and the second support member at predetermined positions, and to drive pulleys, rotational drive means, and guides A base made of a sheet metal that supports members and the like and is fixedly attached to the back side of the game board, and a movable body is guided and guided on the front side and can be visually recognized by the player, and a predetermined effect mode can be displayed. Production display means It comprises.

  As a result, the moving body for applying tension to the drive belt is guided and guided by the guide member to which the guided member is guided and guided, so the moving body is separated in the direction in which the drive pulley and the driven pulley are separated. It is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for moving, and the entire apparatus can be simplified, and the overall increase in size can be suppressed. In other words, since it is possible to prevent an overall increase in size, it is possible to relatively increase the size of the movable body or increase the amount of movement, thereby making it easier to recognize the effect of the movable body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the entertainment from being lowered by the production operation.

  In addition, since the urging force of the urging means acts between the guide hole that is guided and guided by the guide member in the moving body and the locking portion that locks and holds the shaft portion of the driven pulley, The urging force of the urging means applied to the moving body is applied substantially equally to the guiding member side and the driven pulley side, and the moving body can be prevented from being inclined with respect to the guiding member. Can be satisfactorily guided and guided, and a predetermined tension can be satisfactorily applied to the drive belt by the urging force of the urging means, whereby the tension of the drive belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley can be increased. Thus, the drive belt can be driven to rotate favorably.

  Furthermore, since the moving body is provided with a hook-shaped locking portion that is open on the opposite side of the driving pulley and locks the shaft portion of the driven pulley, the shaft portion can be rotated while the driving belt is wound around the driven pulley. The driven pulley and the drive belt can be easily assembled and the urging force can be applied to the drive belt simply by locking the to the locking portion.

  In addition, since only the mounting contact surface, which is a part of the entire length of the base, is attached and fixed to the game board, even if there is a dimensional error of the game board or base, etc. It is possible to reduce the effects of errors as much as possible, and even if the base is attached and fixed to the game board, it is possible to prevent problems such as distortion from occurring, and the base is attached to the game board well. be able to. Therefore, even if the base supporting the guide member is lengthened by increasing the length of the guide member that guides and guides the movable body, the base can be satisfactorily attached and fixed to the game board. It is possible to make the movable body move greatly by lengthening it, making it easy to recognize the performance operation of the movable body, and preventing the player's interest from being reduced by the performance operation. can do.

  Furthermore, the mounting contact surface disposed on the upper side of the base is fixed to the game board, that is, the mounting is fixed only on one side of the base, so that the mounting to the game board is the base. For example, the left and right forces are applied to the surface of the game board so that the center of gravity of the base moves from the vertical line of the mounting contact surface to the left and right. Even if it shifts to either, the rotation moment applied to the center of gravity acts to return the center of gravity of the base to the vertical line of the mounting contact surface, and the base returns to its original position. It is possible to suppress the force other than the weight acting on the base from acting on the base, and it is possible to satisfactorily mount and fix the base, and it is possible to prevent the base from being deformed and causing problems.

  In addition, a mounting hole for inserting a screw is formed in the upper part of the mounting contact surface of the base, so that the number of screws can be reduced as much as possible because it is mounted only at the upper part of the base. In addition to simplifying the time and effort required for mounting, it is possible to make it difficult to apply the rotational moment applied to the screw and the mounting contact surface as much as possible for the same reason as described above. Can be fixed.

  In addition, a drive pulley of the moving means is disposed on the same upper side as the side on which the mounting contact surface of the base for mounting and fixing to the game board is disposed. In other words, the rotational drive means for rotationally driving the drive pulley is supported on the upper side of the base close to the attachment contact surface, so that the attachment application is performed at a position as close as possible to the rotational drive means that is a source of vibration and reaction force. Each member such as a guide member supported by the base by vibration of the base is able to prevent the vibration from the rotation driving means from being transmitted to the entire base and is fixed to the game board via the contact surface. It is possible to prevent the guided member from being able to be guided and guided satisfactorily due to vibration and contact with other members and being damaged, or the assembly of the members being loosened.

  Furthermore, since the guided member that holds the movable body is slidably guided to the guiding member via the two sliding members, the contact area of the sliding portion can be reduced as much as possible. The resistance can be reduced, the guided member can be guided and guided well in the vertical direction together with the movable body, and the movable body can be enlarged, making the movable body more conspicuous and more effective. It can be made high, and interest can be prevented from decreasing. Further, since the sliding resistance can be prevented from increasing even if the movable body is enlarged, the guided member holding the movable body can be guided well without using a large moving means having a large driving force. It is possible to guide, and a movable body of a desired size can be provided in the gaming machine, which can be more interesting.

  Furthermore, since the sliding resistance can be reduced, the driving force required to move the guided member in a stationary state can be reduced, and the guided member can be easily started to move. That is, since the movement response of the guided member can be increased, the guided member, that is, the movable body can be moved quickly, the impact due to the movement of the movable body can be further increased, and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the friction reducing layer is formed on the surface of the guide member and the sliding resistance between the guide member and the slide member can be reduced, the guided member can be guided and guided well through the slide member. In addition, the friction at the sliding portion can be reduced to make it difficult to wear, and the induction member and the sliding member can be worn out at an early stage to prevent malfunction of the guided member, that is, the movable body. be able to.

  Furthermore, since the support shaft is rotatably held by the guided member via the two support bushes, this makes it possible to compare the support shaft with the guided member so that the entire portion can be rotated. Thus, the contact portion with the support shaft is reduced as much as possible, the frictional resistance applied to the support shaft can be reduced, the support shaft can be rotated well, and the movable supported by the support shaft. It is possible to enhance the interest by making the body move smoothly.

  In addition, since the two sliding members and the two support bushes are held at predetermined positions by the main body portion and the fixing member of the guided member, the two sliding members and the two support members are thereby supported. The bush can be easily held by the main body and the fixing member, and can be easily assembled.

  Furthermore, the movable body is moved by the rotational drive of the drive belt, and the moving speed of the movable body can be moved faster and moves faster than when using a moving means such as a screw member. Since the movable body can make a strong impression on the player, it is possible to entertain the production operation while paying attention to the movable body, and it is possible to prevent the interest in the game from decreasing. In addition, it is possible to further reduce the size compared to the case where the same movement amount is moved using a solenoid or a cylinder, and it can be easily installed in a gaming machine, and the movement amount of the movable body is increased. However, since it can be installed in a gaming machine, the movable body can be moved more greatly, the production operation of the movable body can be easily recognized, and the entertainment operation can be prevented from being reduced by the production operation. it can.

  Further, since the guided member is guided and guided by the guiding member, even if the guided member is moved using a flexible belt, the guided member can be guided and guided straight by the guiding member. In this case, the guided member, that is, the movable body can be favorably moved in a desired posture.

  Furthermore, by engaging the engagement teeth and the engaged teeth of the drive belt and the drive pulley with each other, the drive belt can be made difficult to slide on the outer peripheral surface of the drive pulley, and the drive pulley can reliably rotate. It can be transmitted to the drive belt, and even if the rotation speed of the drive pulley is increased, no slip occurs between the drive pulley and the drive belt, so that the drive belt can be driven at a higher speed. The movable body can be moved at a higher speed through the guided member, and a more impactful movement can be made into the movable body, so that the excitement can be enhanced.

  Further, since the driving pulley is arranged on the upper side and the driven pulley is arranged on the lower side, the driving belt is pulled downward, that is, in a direction away from the driving pulley, due to the weight of the fixed guided member or the like. This force increases the wrapping force of the drive belt around the drive pulley and increases the frictional force between the drive pulley and the drive belt, making it difficult for the drive belt to slip. In addition to being able to drive, it is possible to prevent the guided member from slipping due to the sliding of the driving pulley and the driving belt, and it is possible to cause the movable body to make a desired movement via the guided member, and to move. It is possible to enhance the interest by causing the body to perform a predetermined production operation.

  In addition, since the biasing means for biasing the driven pulley in the direction away from the drive pulley is provided, a predetermined tension can be applied to the drive belt, and the drive belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley can be provided. The driving belt can be driven to rotate favorably with appropriate tension.

Further, the driving pulley and the driven pulley are arranged in the vertical direction, and the guide member is arranged in the vertical direction so as to substantially follow the surface of the game board. That is, the movable body is perpendicular to the surface of the game board in the gaming machine ( Because it moves in the vertical direction (the direction along the surface of the game board), which is a relatively large dimension relative to the dimension in the front-rear direction), the amount of movement of the movable body is made as large as possible It is possible to make it easier to recognize the movement of the movable body, to entertain the production operation, and to prevent the interest from deteriorating. Further, since the movable body can be moved in the vertical direction, the movable body moves in the vertical direction substantially the same as the flow direction of the game medium flowing down the game area, and the player moves between the game medium and the movable body. It is easy to move the line of sight, and it is possible to prevent the player from getting tired early and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, the first support member and the second support member member made of resin are supported by the base made of sheet metal, and the guide member is supported by the first support member and the second support member member. Then, it becomes possible to make the resin member that increases the strain as small as possible, and even if the guide member is made large (long), the guide member can be accurately supported at a desired position. Since the movable body can be guided and guided well through the movable body, the movable body can be moved more greatly, making it easy to recognize the moving operation of the movable body, and the entertainment operation is reduced by the rendering operation. Can be prevented.

  In addition, since the base, the guide member, and the guide member are integrally assembled by the first support member and the second support member, and the overall strength rigidity is enhanced by the synergistic effect of the respective rigidity, the base and guide Even if the length of the member is increased and the amount of movement of the guided member is increased, the base and the guiding member are prevented from being deformed by the reaction force or vibration generated by the movement of the guided member. It is possible to move the movable body satisfactorily and to make the movable body move more greatly to make it easy to recognize the rendering operation of the movable body, and to prevent the entertainment from being lowered by the rendering operation.

  Further, when assembling the first support member and the second support member and the base, the first support member and the second support member are moved to a predetermined position separated by a predetermined distance only by fitting the positioning protrusion into the positioning hole. The positioning member can be easily positioned and supported, and the guide member can be easily arranged and supported at a desired position.

  Furthermore, since the rotating means for rotating the support shaft that supports the movable body is provided, the movable body can be rotated around the axis of the support shaft, and the movable body can be rotated in the vertical direction in which the guide member extends. As well as being able to move in the direction around the axis of the support shaft, the movement of the movable body can be made more complex, and it can be more interesting by making the movement more effective. It can be.

  Further, the rotating means for rotating the support shaft is disposed on the opposite side of the guided member from the side where the movable member is held. As a result, the guided member holds the movable body on one side with the guiding member interposed therebetween, and the rotating means on the other side, and a predetermined load is applied to both sides of the guiding member. As a result, the biased load applied to the guided member is mitigated, the occurrence of uneven friction and wear between the guided member and the guiding member is suppressed, and the guided member is guided and guided to the guiding member by the biased load. Can be prevented from being awkwardly moved without being guided smoothly or being unable to guide and guide.

  In addition, since a solenoid is used as a drive source for the rotation means, it is possible to make a quick response with a higher response than when using a motor, and a movable body can perform a strong impact operation. Can be more interesting.

  In addition, since the guided member can be prevented from rotating around the axis of the guiding member by the rotation preventing means, the guided member can be held by the guided member even when the guided member is moved by a drive belt having a lot of vibration. It is possible to satisfactorily prevent the movable body (for example, the decorative movable body, the movable article movable body, etc.) from rotating around the axis of the guide member, that is, swinging around the axis. Thus, it is possible to surely perform a desired production operation, to prevent a decrease in interest, and to make the movable body larger, making the movable body more conspicuous and movable. The production effect by the body can be further enhanced.

  Furthermore, since both ends of the guide member in the rotation preventing means are supported by the first support member and the second support member, there is no need to separately provide a support member for supporting the guide member, and the guide member is supported. The structure for doing so can be simplified and the increase in cost can be suppressed. Further, since the support accuracy of the guide member can be improved similarly to the guide member, the relationship between the guide member and the guide member (for example, parallelism) even if the guide member is lengthened with the increase in the length of the guide member. Can be maintained in a good state, the guided member can be prevented from swinging well, and the movable body can be made larger to make it more conspicuous, and the entertainment of the movable body can be enhanced. Can do.

  In addition, since the mounting contact surface of the base is mounted and fixed on the rear side of the game board so that the movable body can be visually recognized through the through hole, even if the base is mounted on the rear side of the game board, The movable body guided and guided by the guide member supported by the base can be visually recognized by the player, and the movement of the movable body can be enjoyed to prevent the interest from deteriorating. Even if the above-mentioned movable body is provided in a gaming machine, the gaming area is not narrowed due to the mounting and fixing of the base, a sufficient gaming area can be secured, and the movement of the gaming medium becomes monotonous. It can prevent that and can suppress that interest falls.

  Furthermore, since the base is attached and fixed to the rear side of the game board, the first support member, the second support member, the guide member, the guided member, the moving means, and the like supported by the base and the base are not put on the through hole. By attaching and fixing in such a manner, these members can be made difficult to see from the player side through the through hole, and it can be prevented from giving a complicated impression by seeing them, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest can do.

  In addition, a frame-shaped main character having a rolling effect surface is arranged so as to cover the through hole of the game board from the front, and a movable body provided behind the game board via a base is a frame shape of the main character As a result, the player's interest can be enhanced not only by the above-mentioned directing operation of the movable body, but also by the movement of the game medium rolling on the rolling effect surface (stage) of the main character. In addition to being able to increase the level, a leading role is placed on the front side and a movable body is placed on the back side, so that it can be a deep gaming machine and can be differentiated from other gaming machines. Attracting the attention of the person, it can be more interesting.

  In addition, since the movable body is moved on the front side of the effect display means, this makes it possible to bring the effect mode displayed on the effect display means and the movable body as close as possible to each other. It can be made easier to relate the body performance operations, and the collaboration of the performance mode and the motion operations of the movable body provides an unprecedented high impact performance and enhances the player's interest It can be.

  Furthermore, 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 effects as described above can be achieved. In addition, the configuration of the moving means can be simplified.

  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 central 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 256 is increased. The game ball can be returned to the stage 256 at a suitable speed, and the game ball can be favorably rolled on the stage 256.

  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. It is possible to prevent 214 and the like from being damaged.

  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. .

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.

  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.
