The head portion 11 connected to 85 (link mechanism 70) swings forward with respect to the body portion 10 around the swing axis P.

  Hereinafter, the aspect in which the head 11 swings through the engaging portion 85 as the action portion 14 moves (swings) will be described more specifically. As shown in FIG. 16, first, the action part 14 is abutted and guided to the inclined surface 20 a, and the action part 14 swings around the swing axis R of the action part 14. At this time, since the action part 14 is centered on the swing axis R, the right end of the action part 14 is swung back and the left end is swung forward. At that time, the action portion 14 swings around the swing axis R while the projection 73 of the action portion 14 constituting the link mechanism 70 (engagement portion 85) guides the through hole 79 (engagement portion 85). Due to the action of the link mechanism 70, the head 11 (extension 72) is swung forward around the swing axis P.

  When the body portion 10 is rotated and the head portion 11 is swung, the action portion 14 is applied to the inclined surface 20a of the guide portion 20 by the elastic force of the first urging member 23, that is, the urging force, as in the first embodiment. Since it is pressed, stable rotation of the body part 10 and swinging of the head part 11 are possible.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in conjunction with the swing of the head 11 with respect to the body portion 10, the lower jaw 13, which is an opening, opens and closes the opening / closing axis Q (see FIGS. 11 and 12). (Refer to) Opening motion by rotating around. This opening motion is due to the weight of the lower jaw 13. That is, the opening / closing member 58 is provided in the back panel unit 30 at a position where the body portion 10 is in contact with the lower jaw 13 so as to push up the lower jaw 13 when the body portion 10 is in the initial position. Therefore, when rotation of the body portion 10 is started, the lower jaw 13 is separated from the opening / closing member 58, and the lower jaw 13 is opened downward by its own weight.

  And if the action part 14 is contact | abutted and guided to the highest position of the back side of the inclined surface 20a, rotation and rocking | fluctuation will be complete | finished by the stop of the rotational drive of the electric motor 9. FIG. In addition, even if the rotation and swinging are completed as in the first embodiment, the electric motor 9 can be rotated in the reverse direction to return to the initial position while performing the reverse of the series of operations described above. it can.

  In addition, as description of the common embodiment of Example 1 and 2, the swing width of the rocking | fluctuation of the head 11 can be adjusted by changing the inclination-angle of the inclined surface 20a, If the length is changed, the swing speed (timing) can be adjusted. In the first embodiment, the guide portion 20 has only the inclined surface 20a. However, for example, although not shown, if the inclined surface and the vertical surface are formed in the guide portion 20, the tip portion 14a contacts the inclined surface. When being guided, the head 11 is swung in conjunction with the rotation of the body part 10, and when being guided by contact with the vertical surface, only the body part 10 is rotated, It is also possible to configure so as not to swing 11. Further, by making the turning radius of the body part 10 infinite, the body part 10 can be linearly moved.

  In the above embodiments, only the case where the movable effect device for gaming machines is mounted on the pachinko machine has been described. The game may be performed by various game machines such as a poker game machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
