Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine, and more specifically, a gaming machine including a movable member (= effect member) that produces a game by performing a predetermined physical operation (= predetermined motion). It is about.

  Some gaming machines include a movable member (production member) or a device that performs an operation according to a game situation in order to produce a game. For example, some pachinko gaming machines include a game board provided with a game area, a display device capable of displaying a predetermined symbol, and a movable member capable of performing a predetermined movement. In such a gaming machine, generally, when a game ball wins a winning opening or a winning device provided on the gaming board, control is performed such that the gaming situation changes. Then, according to the changed gaming situation, the display device displays a predetermined symbol, and the movable member performs a predetermined operation (= exercise). Thus, the game is produced by the display of the display device and the operation of the movable member, and the player's interest in the game is maintained and improved.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a gaming machine including a composite accessory device. This composite accessory device includes a liquid crystal display device capable of variably displaying predetermined symbols, and a movable member (decorative body) that can be swung in a manner of pendulum movement by the power of a driving means (specifically, a geared motor). . The movable member swings to the left and right on the front side of the liquid crystal display device, thereby producing a game.

  In order to maintain and improve the interest of the player in the game, it is preferable that the movable member has a large operation range (= amount of movement) and that there are many variations in the operation mode of the movable member. That is, if the range of operation of the movable member is small, the player may not be attracted strongly even if the movable member operates. On the other hand, if there are few variations in the operation mode of the movable member (that is, if the operation mode is monotonous), it is difficult to maintain interest in the operation of the movable member. On the other hand, when the operation range of the movable member is large, “dynamism” can be given to the effect of the game, and the player can be attracted strongly. On the other hand, if there are many variations in the operation mode of the movable member, various operations can be performed according to the game situation, so that the player's interest in the operation of the movable member, and in turn, the interest in the game can be maintained.

  However, if it is attempted to increase the operation range of the movable member or increase the variation of the operation mode, the following problem may occur.

  In order to increase the movable range of the movable member, it is necessary to increase the size of the drive mechanism for operating the movable member. As a result, the space required for disposing the drive mechanism also increases. In a gaming machine including a display device, it is necessary to dispose the display device and the drive mechanism so as not to physically interfere with each other. Therefore, in general, it is necessary to dispose a drive mechanism around the outside of the display device. However, with the recent increase in the screen size of the display device, the space around the display device has become smaller. For this reason, since the space for disposing the drive mechanism of the movable member has also been reduced, it is difficult or impossible to dispose a large-size drive mechanism.

  Further, when the operation range of the movable member is increased, the dimension of a member for driving the movable member (for example, the movable member and a link member that connects the movable member and the power source) is increased. For this reason, when the movable member operates, the member for driving the movable member and its operation are easily noticed by the player. Then, the interest in the operation of the movable member is reduced, and the player's interest in the game may not be sustained.

  On the other hand, if it is going to increase the variation of the operation mode of a movable member, the mechanism for driving a movable member may become complicated. For example, the number of link members connecting the movable member and the power source and the number of joints connecting the link members are increased. If it does so, a movable member will not operate | move smoothly, As a result, there exists a possibility that a player's interest may be lost. Further, when the number of link members and the number of joints increase, the operation of the movable member cannot be uniquely determined, and there is a possibility that the movable member cannot perform a predetermined operation.

  In addition, in order to enhance the effect of the effect by the movable member, a configuration in which a light emitting substrate or the like is provided on the movable member and light is emitted according to the game situation may be applied. In such a configuration, it is necessary to route the electric wire across the movable member and the link member for driving the movable member. However, since the movable member and the link member are relatively displaceable, the electric wire routed between the movable member and the link member may interfere with the smooth operation of the movable member. There is a risk of damaging the wire due to the operation of.

  In view of the above circumstances, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of increasing the operating range of the movable member while preventing or suppressing an increase in the size of the drive mechanism that drives the movable member, or An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of increasing variations in the operation mode of the movable member while preventing or suppressing the drive mechanism that drives the movable member from becoming complicated.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention includes a base member, two first drive members that are swingably supported with respect to the base member around the respective one end portions, and two engaging portions. One of the two engaging portions is engaged with the other end of one of the two first driving members, and the other of the two engaging portions is the other of the two first driving members. A movable member that engages the other end of the first drive member, and two drive mechanisms that drive each of the two first drive members, each of the two drive mechanisms being displaceable relative to the base member. A second driving member, an electric power source for displacing the second driving member relative to the base member, and a link connecting the predetermined position of the first driving member and the second driving member One of the two first drive members and the two drives. One of the mechanisms is disposed on one side of the movable member, and each of the electric power sources can be used alone or both of the two drive mechanisms and the two first drive members according to different or synchronized power. The gist is to move and move the movable member.

  One of the two first drive members and one of the two drive mechanisms, and the other of the two first drive members and the other of the two drive mechanisms are substantially mirror surfaces centered on the movable member. It is preferable that it is a structure arrange | positioned symmetrically or mirror-symmetrically.

  One of the two engaging portions of the movable member is slidably engaged with one other end of the two first drive members, and the other of the two engaging portions of the movable member is The other first end of the two first drive members may be slidably engaged and movably engaged differently from the sway.

  One of the two engaging portions of the movable member engages with the other end of one of the two first drive members so as to be fixed, rotatable, or displaceable, and the two engagement portions of the movable member. The other of the joint portions may be displaceably engaged with the other other end portion of the two first drive members.

  The other tip of the two first driving members is provided with a hole or a recess, and the other of the two engaging portions of the movable member is displaceably engaged with the hole or the recess. Applicable configurations can be applied.

  The movable member is provided with an electric device that operates with electric power supplied from the outside, and an electric wire that supplies electric power to the electric device is difficult to see from the player side on the one of the two first drive members. Or the structure wired so that it cannot be visually recognized is applicable.

  A light-emitting substrate on which a light-emitting element is mounted can be applied to the electrical device.

  Each of the power sources of the two drive mechanisms is an electric power source capable of generating forward and reverse rotational power, and each of the second drive members of the two drive mechanisms is connected to the electric power source. It is possible to apply a configuration that is displaceable in such a manner that it is coupled and rotates forward and backward with respect to the base member.

  A display device capable of displaying a design is further provided, and each of the two first drive members is positioned at a first position that is one end of a swing range, and the movable member is overlapped with the front side of the display device. The movable member is located at a retracted position in the vicinity of at least one predetermined side of the display device and each of the two first drive members is located at a second position that is the other end of the swing range. Is positioned at the overlapping position overlapping the front side of the display device, and the movable member can be moved at the second position.

  The one end of each of the two first drive members is positioned outside a predetermined side of the display device or an extension line of the predetermined one side, and each of the two first drive members is When located at the first position, the distance from the predetermined one side or the extension line to the other end of each of the two first drive members is from the predetermined one side or the extension line to the one end. A configuration that is larger than the distance is applicable.

  Each of the two first drive members is a substantially rod-shaped member having a bent portion or a bent portion bent at an intermediate position between the one end portion and the other end portion, and the bent portion or the bent portion. Is disposed toward the display device side, and when positioned at the first position, the portion between the bent portion or the curved portion and the other end portion overlaps the front side of the display device. In addition, a configuration in which a part or all of the portion overlaps the front side of the display device when applied at the second position can be applied.

  A configuration is adopted in which each of the two first drive members does not overlap the front side of the display device at any position within the swing range between the one end and the bent portion or the curved portion. it can.

  Each of the two drive parts is a side between the one end of each of the two first drive members and the bent part or the curved part, and a side opposite to the display device. It is preferable that it is the structure arrange | positioned.

  When each of the two first driving members is located at the first position, a predetermined distance between the bent portion or the curved portion and the other end portion is set on the predetermined one side of the outer periphery of the display device. When the distance between the one end and the bent portion or the curved portion is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the predetermined side and located at the second position, A configuration that is substantially parallel to the predetermined side can be applied between the one end portion and the bent portion or the curved portion.

  According to the present invention, the operating range of the movable member can be increased while preventing or suppressing an increase in the size of the drive mechanism that drives the movable member, and the drive mechanism that drives the movable member is prevented or suppressed from becoming complicated. However, variations in the operation mode of the movable member can be increased.

  One of the two first drive members and one of the two drive mechanisms, and the other of the two first drive members and the other of the two drive mechanisms are arranged substantially mirror-symmetrically about the movable member. With this configuration, the movable member can be reciprocated substantially linearly between the two first drive members and the two drive mechanisms.

  One of the two engaging portions of the movable member is slidably engaged with one other end of the two first driving members, and the other of the two engaging portions is the two first driving members. The movable member can be operated smoothly when the other end is swingable and movable.

  One of the two engaging portions of the movable member engages with the other end of one of the two first drive members so as to be fixed, rotatable, or displaceable, and the two engagement portions of the movable member. When the other of the joint portions is configured to be displaceably engaged with the other other end portion of the two first drive members, the movable member can be operated smoothly.

  A rotational power source capable of generating forward and reverse rotational power is applied as a power source of each of the two drive mechanisms, and the second drive member is coupled to the power source and rotates forward and backward with respect to the base member. If the configuration is displaceable in the aspect, it is easy to control the range of reciprocation of the first drive member. For this reason, it is possible to cause the movable member to perform various operations by controlling the operations of the two first drive members.

  When the movable member is located at the first position, the movable member does not overlap the front side of the display device or covers at least the vicinity of a predetermined side of the display device (= a predetermined end or a predetermined part of the outer periphery) It is possible to look over almost the whole image displayed by the display device. That is, the movable member can be prevented from hindering the display of the display device. On the other hand, when the movable member is located at the second position, the movable member overlaps the front side of the display device. For this reason, a production effect can be heightened when a movable member goes back and forth alternately with the 1st position and the 2nd position.

  In the case where each one end portion of the first driving member is located outside a predetermined one side or an extension line of the predetermined one side of the display device, and each of the first driving members is located at the first position, When the distance from the predetermined one side or extension line to the other end of each of the first drive members is larger than the distance from the predetermined one side or extension line to the one end, the movable member is second The movable member can be greatly moved on the front side of the display device (= the operation range of the movable member on the front side of the display device can be increased).

  Each of the first driving members is a substantially rod-shaped member having a bent portion or a bent portion that is bent at an intermediate position between the one end portion and the other end portion. When the movable member is located at the first position, the first drive member can be prevented from overlapping the front side of the display device. For this reason, it can suppress that a 1st drive member prevents the display of a display apparatus.

  Further, with such a configuration, when the movable member is located at the second position, only the portion between the bent portion or the curved portion of the first drive member and the other end is the front surface of the display device. The portion between the one end portion and the bent portion or the curved portion may not overlap the front side of the display device. For this reason, the part which overlaps the front side of a display apparatus among 1st drive members can be made small. Therefore, the first drive member can be made inconspicuous, and the player's interest in the operation of the movable member can be prevented from being lost.

  A configuration in which each of the two drive units is disposed on a side between one end of each of the two first drive members and the bent portion or the curved portion and on the side opposite to the display device. If so, the space around the display device can be effectively used. In other words, even when the space around the outside of the display device is small, the movable member can be prevented from overlapping the front side of the display area, and a space for disposing the drive member is formed. be able to.

  When each of the first driving members is located at the first position, the bend portion or the curved portion and the other end portion are substantially parallel to the predetermined one side of the outer periphery of the display device at a predetermined distance. With this configuration, the portion between the bent portion or curved portion of the first drive member and the other end can be reliably prevented from overlapping the front side of the display device. Furthermore, the space required to accommodate the portion between the bent portion or the curved portion of the first drive member and the other end portion can be reduced. For this reason, even if the space outside the display device is small, the first drive member can be retracted from the front side of the display device.

  And when it is the structure which inclines with the predetermined | prescribed angle with respect to the predetermined | prescribed edge | side of a display apparatus from the one end part of a 1st drive member to a bending part or a curved part, it drives to the outer side of the said inclined part. A mechanism can be provided. That is, the drive mechanism can be disposed close to the display device. Therefore, even when the space outside the display device is small, the drive mechanism can be provided. In other words, the configuration in which the portion between the one end portion of the first drive member and the bent portion or the curved portion is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a predetermined side of the display device is brought close to the outside of the display device. A space for disposing the drive mechanism can be formed.

FIG. 6 is a view seen from the front side, and FIG. 7 is a view seen from the back side.

  The stage device 1 is a game of the gaming machine 9 according to the embodiment of the present invention by the operation of the movable member 11 (= mechanical motion) and the operation of the electric device (= light emitting substrate 12) provided in the movable member 11. It is a device that can produce.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the rendering device 1 includes a movable member 11, a light emitting substrate 12 as an electric device, two first drive members 13 a and 13 b, and two sets of drive mechanisms 14 a, 14b, a frame member 15 as a base member, and other predetermined members and devices.

  The movable member 11 is a member that can perform mechanical motion in a predetermined manner. The light emitting substrate 12 is a substrate including the light source 121, and can be made to appear as if the movable member 11 is emitting light when the light source 121 emits light. The two first drive members 13a and 13b are members that can perform mechanical motion in a predetermined manner. Then, by transmitting these motions to the movable member 11, the movable member 11 can be mechanically moved in a predetermined manner. The two sets of drive mechanisms 14a and 14b are devices that can cause each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b to mechanically move in a predetermined manner. The frame member 15 is a member that becomes a casing (or body shell) of the rendering device 1.

Specifically, the movable member 11 reciprocates and swings in a predetermined direction within the plane (= rotates alternately by a predetermined rotation angle in the forward and reverse directions) and reciprocates while swinging. Can move. For convenience of explanation, the direction in which the movable member 11 can reciprocate is referred to as “first direction”, and the direction perpendicular to the “first direction” is referred to as “second direction” (however, also in the longitudinal direction). Perpendicular direction). The movable member 11 of the rendering device 1 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 has a configuration that can reciprocate in the vertical direction. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the vertical direction is the “first direction” and the horizontal direction is the “second direction”.

  The details of the configuration of each member and equipment of the rendering device 1 are as follows.

  The movable member 11 is a member to which the light emitting substrate 12 is assembled while being connected to the two first driving members 13a and 13b. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the movable member 11 is a shell-like or tension-like member, and has a structure in which the back side is open. Then, on the back side of the movable member 11, two engaging portions 111a and 111b and a predetermined number of light emitting substrate fixing portions 112 are provided. Each of the two engaging portions 111a and 111b is a portion that can connect each of the two first driving members 13a and 13b. The light emitting substrate fixing portion 112 is a structure that can fix the light emitting substrate 12. Thus, the two first drive members 13a and 13b can be connected to the movable member 11 on the back side, and the light emitting substrate 12 can be assembled.

  The shape and dimensions of the movable member 11 are not particularly limited. Moreover, although the predetermined | prescribed decoration may be given to the front surface of the movable member 11, the content of the decoration is not limited. These are set as appropriate according to the type of game machine 9 and game content according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  Further, at least a part of the movable member 11 is formed to be transparent or translucent. That is, in the state where the light emitting substrate 12 is assembled on the back side of the movable member 11, when the movable member 11 is viewed from the front side, the light emitting substrate 12 is not visible, but the light emitted from the light source mounted on the light emitting substrate 12 is The movable member 11 can be transmitted from the back side to the front side. For example, the movable member 11 may be configured by a transparent or translucent resin material colored in a predetermined color.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the two engaging portions 111a and 111b are provided at both ends of the movable member 11 in the second direction or in the vicinity of both ends. The two engaging portions 111a and 111b are provided side by side along the second direction. Further, the two engaging portions 111 a and 111 b are provided at a substantially central position in the first direction of the movable member 11. For example, when the movable member 11 reciprocates in the vertical direction (= a configuration in which the vertical direction is the “first direction” and the horizontal direction is the “second direction”), the movable member 11 is moved to the front side. When viewed from the rear side, the two engaging portions 111a and 11b are located in the vicinity of both ends in the left-right direction. And it is located in the approximate center of an up-down direction. That is, the two engaging portions 111a and 111b are arranged in the second direction (here, arranged in the left-right direction) at the position of the approximate center in the first direction (here, the approximate center in the vertical direction).

  Each of the two engaging portions 111a and 111b can be connected to each of the two first driving members 13a and 13b by the engaging member 113. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the engaging member 113 is a substantially disk-shaped member, and a flange is formed on one end side (rear end side) in the axial direction (= front-rear direction), and at the substantially center thereof. A through-hole is formed through which a screw can be inserted and penetrates in the front-back direction. The engaging member 113 is coupled to the engaging portions 111a and 111b of the movable member 11 by screws (not shown). For this reason, each of the two engaging portions 111a and 111b of the movable member 11 is formed with a screw hole for coupling each engaging member 113.

  In one engaging portion 111a (here, the left engaging portion 111a when viewed from the front side), the first driving member 13a is centered on the engaging portion 111a (= engaging member 113). Can be pivotably connected. Further, in the other engaging portion 111b (here, the right engaging portion 111b as viewed from the front side), the other first driving member 13b is centered on the engaging portion 111b (= the engaging member 113). The engagement portion 111b (= engagement member 113) and the other first drive member 13b can be coupled to be relatively reciprocally movable.

  The light emitting substrate fixing portion 112 is a structure for fixing the light emitting substrate 12 to the back side of the movable member 11. Specifically, the light emitting substrate fixing part 112 is in a state where the light emitting substrate 12 is separated from the back surface of the movable member 11 by a predetermined distance (= a state where the light emitting substrate 12 is lifted from the back surface of the movable member 11). The movable member 11 can be fixed so as not to protrude from the back side of the movable member 11 (= in a state where the movable member 11 is housed in a shell or a tensioner). As shown in FIG. 7, a spacer (= substantially cylindrical structure) that protrudes toward the back side can be applied to the light emitting substrate fixing portion 112. The number and position of the light emitting substrate fixing portions 112 are not particularly limited.

  The light-emitting board 12 is an electric device that operates by receiving power supply from the outside, and is a circuit board on which a light source 121 is mounted on one surface (= front surface). And the movable member 11 can be decorated with the light which the light source 121 emits (= game can be produced). A connector 122 is mounted on the other surface (= rear surface) of the light emitting substrate 12. The connectors 122 have a function of connecting an electric wire (or electric wire bundle) 191 for electrically connecting the outside and the light emitting substrate 12. That is, the light emitting substrate 12 can receive the supply of power for causing the light source 121 to emit light through the electric wire 191 connected to the connectors 122.

  Note that the type, number, position, and the like of the light source 121 mounted on the light emitting substrate 12 are not particularly limited. Similarly, the configuration of the connectors 122 mounted on the light emitting substrate 12 is not limited. Various conventionally known light sources (various LEDs) and connectors can be applied. Moreover, the structure which couple | bonds the electric wire 191 without using the connectors 122 may be sufficient. For example, a configuration in which the electric wire 191 is soldered to a wiring pattern or inter-electrode turn formed on the light emitting substrate 121 and the electric wire 191 is directly drawn out from the light emitting substrate 12 may be employed.

  FIG. 8 is an external perspective view schematically showing the configuration of one of the two first drive members 13a. FIG. 9 is an external perspective view schematically showing the configuration of the other of the two first drive members 13b. 8A and 9B are views seen from the front side, and FIG. 9B is a view seen from the back side.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the two first drive members 13 a and 13 b are both substantially rod-shaped members. One end portion in the longitudinal direction is assembled to the frame member 15 so as to be swingable, and the movable member 11 is connected to the other end portion. Then, the two first drive members 13a and 13b are swung around the one end portion, so that the movable member 11 connected to the other end portion is a predetermined unit such as a reciprocating motion or a swinging portion. The action can be performed. For convenience of explanation, an end portion (= the one end portion) on the side that is swingably assembled to the frame member 15 is referred to as a “base end portion”. Further, an end portion (= the other end portion) on the side to which the movable member 11 is connected is referred to as a “tip portion”.

  The two first drive members 13a and 13b are provided with a bent portion 131, a bearing portion 132, a link member engaging portion 133, and movable member engaging portions 134a and 134b.

  The bent portion 131 is a portion where the axis (= center line) is bent or curved between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion of the first drive members 13a and 13b. 6 to 9 show a configuration in which the axis is bent, a configuration in which the axis is curved may be used. However, the axis of the portion other than the bent portion 131 is formed in a substantially straight line. For this reason, the two first drive members 13a and 13b have a substantially “(to Hiragana or Katakana)” shape or a “to (Hiragana)” shape when viewed from the front side or the back side. Have That is, the axis line between the base end portion and the bent portion 131 and the axis line between the bent portion 131 and the distal end portion are not parallel but have a predetermined angle (= one with respect to the other). And tilted at a predetermined angle).

  The two first drive members 13a and 13b are substantially straight when viewed from above and below (more precisely, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction). That is, the two first drive members 13a and 13b have a configuration that is not bent or curved in the front-rear direction.

  For convenience of explanation, for each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b, a portion between the base end portion and the bent portion 131 is referred to as a “first portion 135”, and between the bent portion 131 and the distal end portion. The portion is referred to as a “second portion 136”.

  One first drive member 13a (here, the first drive member 13a located on the left side when viewed from the front side) can accommodate the electric wire 191 laid between the frame member 15 and the movable member 11. It has a configuration. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), on the back side of one first drive member 13a, a recess 137 (= A groove extending along the axial direction) is formed. For this reason, the cross-sectional shape of one first drive member 13a when cut in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction is a substantially “U” shape. That is, one first drive member 13 a has a bottom portion 1371 extending along the axial direction and side walls 1372 provided on both sides of the bottom portion 1371. And it has the structure which the bottom part 1371 is located in the front side, and the side wall 1372 stands up toward the back side.

  The other first driving member 13b (= first driving member 13b located on the right side when viewed from the front side) does not need to be configured to accommodate the electric wire 191 and its internal structure is particularly limited. is not. For example, similarly to the first driving member 13a, a configuration having a bottom 1371 and a side wall 1372 may be used, or a solid configuration (= a configuration in which a recess or the like is not formed on the back surface) may be used. Here, as shown in FIG. 9B, it is assumed that the other first driving member 13b has substantially the same configuration as the one first driving member 13a.

  The cross-sectional shapes of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the cross section may be substantially square, or the cross section may be substantially semicircular.

  The bearing portion 132 is a portion that is swingably assembled to the frame member 15 by the shaft member 192, the bearing member 193, and the pressing member 194. As shown in FIGS. 6-9, the bearing part 132 is provided in the base end part, and has a substantially cylindrical structure which protrudes in the back side. The bearing portion 132 is formed with a through-hole having a circular cross-sectional shape that communicates the front side and the back side (the axis is directed in the front-rear direction). The angle between the axis of the through hole of the bearing portion 132 and the axis between the base end and the tip end is substantially a right angle. For this reason, the two first drive members 13a and 13b have a substantially “L” shape when viewed from above or below.

  The link member engaging portion 133 is a portion that can link a link member 143 (described later) of the drive mechanisms 14a and 14b so as to be swingable (in other words, rotatable). That is, the first drive members 13a and 13b and the link member 143 are connected to each other at the link member engaging portion 133 so as to be relatively swingable by the first connecting pin 195 (= columnar member). As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the link member engaging portion 133 is provided in the vicinity of the bent portion 131 of the first portion 135 and outside the curve or bend of the bent portion 131.

  In addition, although the shape and dimension of the link member engaging part 133 are not specifically limited, For example, the following structures are applicable. The link member engaging portion 133 is a plate-like or block-like structure, and its front surface is formed in a substantially flat surface. And the front surface of the link member engaging part 133 and the front surface of the 1st part 135 become a level | step difference surface. That is, the front surface of the link member engaging portion 133 is located on the back side of the front surface of the first portion 135 of the first drive members 13a and 13b. The link member engaging portion 133 is formed with a through hole into which the first connecting pin 195 can be inserted. The through hole is a through hole that connects the front side and the back side (= the axial direction faces the front-rear direction), and has a substantially circular cross-sectional shape.

  The movable member engaging portions 134a and 134b are provided at the tip portions. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the movable member engaging portion 134a of one first drive member 13a and the movable member engaging portion 134b of the other first drive member 13b are different in configuration.

  The movable member engaging portion 134a of one first driving member 13a (= first driving member 13a located on the left side when viewed from the front side) is engaged with one engaging portion 111a provided on the movable member 11. It has a structure that can be slidably connected by the joint member 113. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a step surface 1341a and an engagement hole 1342a are formed in the movable member engaging portion 134a. The step surface 1341a is a portion having a smaller size in the front-rear direction than other portions (= side walls 1372). And the level | step difference surface 1341a of the movable member engaging part 134a is located in the front side rather than the back surface (= back surface side edge part of the side wall 1372) of another part. The engagement hole 1342a is a through hole in which the engagement member 113 can be engaged. The engagement hole 1342a is formed in the step surface 1341a. The engagement hole 1342a is a through-hole penetrating in the front-rear direction and has a substantially circular cross-sectional shape. The inner diameter of the engagement hole 1342a is such that the front side portion (= the portion other than the flange) of the engagement member 113 can be loosely inserted, and the rear side portion (= the portion where the flange is formed) cannot be inserted. Is set.

  According to such a configuration, the first driving member 13a and the engaging member 113 are such that the front side portion of the engaging member 113 is the movable member engaging portion 134a of the first driving member 13a. In the state engaged with the engagement hole 1342a, it can rotate relatively. For this reason, one first drive member 13a and the movable member 11 assembled with the engagement member 113 are centered on the movable member engagement portion 134a (= the one engagement portion 111a of the movable member 11 is the center). Or with the engaging member 113 as the center), and is relatively rotatable (= swingable).

  A gap (or a notch or the like) 1343 through which the electric wire 191 can be passed is provided between one of the side walls 1372 on both sides and the movable member engaging portion 134a. For this reason, an electric wire can be straddled between the inside and the outside of one first drive member 13a through the gap 1343. That is, by passing the electric wire 191 through the gap 1343, the electric wire 191 is not protruded from the back side of the first driving member 13a, and the electric wire 191 is interposed between the movable member 11 and the first driving member 13a. Can be bridged.

  Furthermore, one first driving member 13a is provided with a locking portion 1344 that can lock the electric wire 191. The locking portion 1344 can lock the electric wire 191 so that the electric wire 191 does not protrude from the first drive member 13a (particularly, it does not protrude from the back side). The locking portion 1344 may be formed integrally with the first driving member 13a, or may be assembled with another member. In short, what is necessary is just to have the structure which can be accommodated inside and can prevent the electric wire 191 from protruding outside.

  The movable member engaging portion 134b of the other first drive member 13b has a configuration that can be connected to the other engaging portion 111b provided in the movable member 11. An engagement member 113 is used for the connection. The other first driving member 13b and the movable member 11 can be reciprocated relatively by the engaging member 113, and centered on the movable member engaging portion 134b (= the other engaging portion 111b). (With the center).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, a step surface 1341b and an engagement hole 1342b are formed in the movable member engaging portion 134b. The step surface 1341b is a portion having a smaller size in the front-rear direction than other portions (= side walls 1372). And the level | step difference surface 1341b of the movable member engaging part 134b is located in the front side rather than the back surface (= back side edge part of the side wall 1372) of another part. The engagement hole 1342b is a through hole in which the engagement member 113 can be engaged. The engagement hole 1342b is formed in the step surface 1341b. The engagement hole 1432b is a long through hole penetrating in the front-rear direction. And the axial direction of a long hole is substantially parallel to the axial direction of a 2nd part. The width of the engagement hole 1342a (= the dimension in the direction perpendicular to the axis) can be freely inserted into the front side portion of the engagement member 113 (= the portion other than the flange). The part (= flange) is set to a dimension that cannot be inserted.

  According to such a configuration, the other first driving member 13b and the engaging member 113 are such that the front side portion (= the portion other than the flange) of the engaging member 113 is the other first driving member. It engages with the engaging hole 1342b of the movable member engaging portion 134b of 13b. For this reason, it can rotate relatively. Further, it can relatively reciprocate (= displace) along the longitudinal direction of the engagement hole 1342b. Therefore, the other first driving member 13b and the movable member 11 assembled with the engaging member 113 are relatively displaceable (specifically, they can be relatively displaceable in a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction). And, with the movable member engaging portion 134b as the center (= the other engaging portion 111b of the movable member 11 or the engaging member 113 as the center), it is relatively rotatable (= swaying). Moveable).

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 (particularly, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7), the two first drive members 13a and 13b are substantially the same as each other when viewed from the front side or the back side. It has a line-symmetric (= substantially mirror-symmetric) shape.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the structure which an engagement hole (= through-hole) was formed in the movable member engagement part 134a, 134b of two 1st drive members 13a, 13b was shown, such a structure It is not limited to. For example, a configuration in which a recess is formed instead of the through hole may be employed. That is, the two engaging portions 111a and 111b of the movable member 11 are columnar structures projecting on the back side, and the columnar structures as the engaging portions 111a and 111b are fitted into the recesses (free fitting). It may be configured.

  Further, in the above description, the movable member engaging portion 134a of one first driving member 13a is formed with a substantially circular engaging hole 1342a, and the movable member engaging portion of the other first driving member 13b. 134b shows a configuration in which a long hole-like engagement hole 1342b is formed. However, the movable member engagement parts 134a, 134b of both the first drive members 13a, 13b are engaged in a substantially long hole-like engagement. The structure in which a hole is formed may be sufficient.

  The two sets of drive mechanisms 14a and 14b each include an electric power source 141, a second drive member 142, a link member 143, a position detection means 144, and other predetermined members. Then, the power (= mechanical motion) generated by the electrical power source 141 can be transmitted to the first drive members 13a and 13b through the second drive member 142 and the link member 143. The drive members 13a and 13b can be mechanically moved in a predetermined manner.

  The electrical power source 141 is a rotational power source that can be rotated forward and backward by electric power and can control the amount of rotation (= rotation angle). For example, various known servo motors are applied. The type of the electric power source 141 is not limited, and various known motors can be applied. Therefore, the description is omitted. The electric power sources 141 of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b can operate in synchronization and can also operate independently.

If the motor is a rotating shaft), the shaft portion 1421 is connected to the bearing portion of the cover member. The part to be supported. For this reason, a shaft hole into which the power output member of the electric power source 141 can be fitted is formed on the back side of the shaft portion. On the other hand, a substantially cylindrical structure projecting toward the front side is formed on the front side of the shaft portion.

  The link member engaging portion 1422 is provided between one end and the other end. The link member engaging portion 1422 is a portion that can link the link member 143 so as to be swingable by the second connecting pin 196 (= substantially cylindrical member). Specifically, the link member engaging portion 1422 is formed with an insertion hole into which the second connecting pin 196 can be inserted. This insertion hole is a through hole (a through hole whose axis is directed in the front-rear direction) that has a substantially circular cross-sectional shape and penetrates from the front side to the back side. For this reason, when the second drive member 142 and the link member 143 are connected by the second connection pin 196, the second drive member 142 and the link member 143 are connected to the second connection pin 196 (= second The axis of the connecting pin 196 is relatively rockable.

  The detected portion 1423 is provided at the other end of the second drive member 142. The detected portion 1423 is a portion detected by the position detection means 144. The detected portion 1423 is, for example, a structure that protrudes from the other end portion in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. When the detected portion 1423 has such a configuration, the second drive member 142 has a substantially “L” shape when viewed from the front side or the back side. In addition, the to-be-detected part 1423 should just be the structure which can be detected by the position detection means 144, and a specific structure is not limited. Also, the position to be formed is not limited to the other end.

  The second drive member 142 of one drive mechanism 14a and the second drive member 142 of the other drive mechanism 14b are substantially line-symmetric with each other when viewed from the front side and the back side (= substantially mirror-symmetric). It has the shape of

  The link member 143 is a member that transmits the mechanical motion of the second drive member 142 to the first drive members 13a and 13b. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the link member 143 is a substantially rod-shaped member. An insertion hole into which the first connecting pin 195 can be inserted is formed at one end in the longitudinal direction (= axial direction), and the second connecting pin 196 can be inserted into the other end. An insertion hole is formed. These insertion holes are through-holes having a substantially circular cross-sectional shape and penetrating in the front-rear direction. Therefore, one end portion of the link member 143 and the link member engaging portions 134a and 134b of the first drive members 13a and 13b are connected to each other so as to be relatively swingable by the first connecting pin 195. be able to. Similarly, the other end portion of the link member 143 and the link member engaging portion 1422 of the second drive member 142 can be connected to each other by a second connecting pin 196 so as to be relatively swingable.

  The position detection unit 144 is a device that can detect the detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142. The position of the movable member 11 can be detected by detecting the detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142. Various known sensors can be applied to the position detection means 144. For example, an optical sensor can be applied. That is, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the position detecting means 144 is arranged such that the light emitting element and the light receiving element are opposed to each other with a predetermined interval, and the light emitted from the light emitting element can be received by the light receiving element. It has a configuration. With such a configuration, when the detected portion 1423 of the second driving member 142 enters between the light emitting element and the light receiving element, the light receiving element cannot receive the light emitted from the light emitting element. Therefore, the position detecting means 144 can detect that the detected portion 1423 of the second driving member 142 enters between the light emitting element and the light receiving element (= is in the entering position).

The power source arrangement part 156 is, for example, a recess, a notch, or an opening formed on the arrangement surface 151 and having a shape and size corresponding to the shape and dimension of the electrical power source 141. A configuration in which the main body of the electric power source 141 can be fitted and fixed in the opening can be applied.

  The position detecting means disposing portion 157 is a portion where the position detecting means 144 can be disposed and fixed. Specifically, the position detection unit disposing unit 157 can dispose the main body of the position detecting unit 144 on the back side of the disposition surface 151 (= can be disposed so as not to protrude to the front side of the disposition surface 151). It is sufficient that only the portion (so-called sensor portion) for detecting the detected portion 1423 of the second driving member 142 can be provided on the front surface side of the arrangement surface 151. For example, a configuration in which a frame in which the main body of the position detecting unit 144 can be fitted is formed on the rear surface side of the arrangement surface 151 and a through-hole penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the arrangement surface 151 can be applied. According to such a configuration, the main body of the position detecting means 144 can be disposed on the back side of the arrangement surface 151, and the sensor portion can be protruded to the front side of the arrangement surface 151 through the through hole.

  And as shown in each of Drawing 6 and Drawing 7, bearing part 154, power source arrangement part 156, and position detection means arrangement part 157 are provided in each end of the 2nd direction, It is formed so as to be lined up substantially in series. That is, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the arrangement surface 151 is regarded as a substantially quadrilateral when viewed from the front side, the sides on the both sides in the second direction (here, the two sides on the left and right sides) In each, a bearing portion 154, a power source disposing portion 156, and a position detecting means disposing portion 157 are provided so as to be arranged in the order described above.

  In addition, an interference prevention hole 158 is formed in the arrangement surface 151. The interference prevention hole 158 prevents physical interference between the mounting surface 151 and the first connection pin 195, the second connection pin 196, and the like when the first drive members 13a and 13b move. It is a hole formed in. As the interference prevention hole 158, a through-hole penetrating from the arrangement surface 151 to the back side or a concave portion recessed to the back side can be applied. The size, shape, and position of the interference prevention hole 158 are set according to the position of the first connecting pin 195 and the second connecting pin 196 and the locus of movement.

  In addition, the frame member 15 includes a structure for attaching a predetermined circuit board 198 and a structure for attaching the frame member 15 to the game board 951 (= for attaching the effect device 1 to the game board 951). Provided. The structure of these structures is not particularly limited. For this reason, description of the structure of these structures is abbreviate | omitted. Note that the size and shape of the frame member 15 (particularly, the size and shape of the arrangement surface 151) are not particularly limited, and are appropriately set according to the size and shape of the region where the rendering device 1 is disposed. . However, the distance between the two bearing portions 154 is set to be longer than the length of a predetermined side of the outer periphery of the display device 96 (described later).

  The assembly structure of the production device 1 is as follows. This will be described with reference to FIGS.

  Each of the two electric power sources 141 is disposed and fixed to the power source disposition portion 156 of the frame member 15. Specifically, the main body (= housing) of the electrical power source 141 is located on the back side of the front surface of the frame member, and the power output member of the electrical power source 141 protrudes from the front surface to the front side. Arranged. When a motor is applied as the electric power source 141, the motor is arranged such that the axis of the rotation shaft of the motor is perpendicular to the arrangement surface 151.

  Each of the two position detecting means 144 is disposed and fixed to the position detecting means disposing portion 157 of the frame member 15. Specifically, the main body (= housing) of the position detecting means 144 is disposed on the back side of the arrangement surface 151 of the frame member 15 and detects the detected portion 1423 of the second driving member 142 (optical). If it is the structure detected by a type | formula, a light receiving element and a light emitting element) will be arrange | positioned so that it may protrude in the front side of the arrangement | positioning surface 151. FIG.

  The electric wire 191 is accommodated in the recess 137 of the first drive member 13a. The accommodated electric wire 191 is locked to the locking portion 1344 so that it does not protrude from the recess 137 or come out.

  The base end portions (= bearing portions 132) of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are swingably assembled to the bearing portion 154 of the frame member 15 by the shaft member 192, the bearing member 193, and the pressing member 194. .

  The shaft member 192 is a substantially cylindrical member, and screw holes along the axial direction are formed on both end surfaces thereof. The bearing member 193 is a substantially cylindrical member in which a through hole is formed, and a flange is formed on the outer peripheral surface of one end in the axial direction. The outer diameter of the bearing member 193 is set to a dimension that can be inserted into the through hole formed in the bearing portion 132 of the first drive member 13a, 13b. However, the flange has a dimension that cannot be inserted into the through hole formed in the bearing portion 132 of the first drive member 13a, 13b. On the other hand, the inner diameter of the through hole formed in the bearing member 193 is set to a dimension that allows the shaft member 192 to be inserted.

  The pressing member 194 includes a substantially plate-shaped portion and a shaft member receiving portion 1941 that protrudes from the substantially plate-shaped portion to the back side. The shaft member receiving portion 1941 is a substantially cylindrical structure, and the outer diameter thereof is set to a dimension that can be inserted into a through hole formed in the bearing portion 132 of the first drive members 13a and 13b. The inner diameter is set to a dimension that allows the end of the shaft member to be inserted. A through-hole (a through-hole penetrating in the front-rear direction) through which a screw can be inserted is formed in a substantially plate-like portion corresponding to the bottom surface of the cylindrical portion. Further, a through-hole (through hole penetrating in the front-rear direction) through which a screw can be inserted is also formed outside the cylindrical portion which is a substantially plate-like portion.

  One end of the shaft member 192 is inserted into a substantially cylindrical portion provided in the bearing portion 154 of the frame member 15, and in this state, the shaft member 192 is fixed to the frame member 15 with screws (not shown). The bearing member 193 is fitted to the fixed shaft member 192 so that the end on the side where the flange is formed is located on the back side. And the bearing part 132 of the 1st drive members 13a and 13b is engaged with the bearing member 193 loosely inserted in the shaft member 192. That is, a portion other than the flange of the bearing member 193 enters the through hole formed in the bearing portion 132 of the first drive members 13a and 13b from the back side.

  Further, a pressing member 194 is disposed on the front side of the bearing portion 132 of the first driving members 13a and 13b. Specifically, the shaft member receiving portion 1941 of the pressing member 194 enters the through hole formed in the bearing portion 132 of the first drive members 13a and 13b from the front side. Then, the other end of the shaft member 192 enters the inside of the shaft member receiving portion 1941 of the pressing member 194 (= inside the cylinder). The pressing member 194 and the shaft member 192 are coupled by screws. Further, the pressing member 194 is fixed to the frame member 15 with another screw.

  According to such a configuration, the bearing portions 132 of the first drive members 13a and 13b engage with the bearing member 193 and the shaft member receiving portion 1941 of the pressing member 194 so as to be swingable (= rotatable). . The first portion 135 and the second portion 136 of the first drive members 13 a and 13 b are located on the front side of the arrangement surface 151 of the frame member 15. For this reason, the first portion 135 and the second portion 136 of the first drive members 13a and 13b are within the plane parallel to the arrangement surface 151 of the frame member 15, and the base end portion (= bearing portion 132) is the center. Can be swayed (= rotates as long as it does not interfere with other structures).

  In addition, the said structure is an example and this invention is not limited to the said structure. In short, the first drive members 13a and 13b may be configured so as to be swingable with respect to the frame member 15 around the base end portion (= bearing portion 132).

  The engaging portions 111a and 111b of the movable member 11 are connected to the distal end portions (= movable member engaging portions 134a and 134b) of the two first drive members 13a and 13b using the engaging member 113. Specifically, each of the two engaging members 113 is inserted from the back side into the engaging holes 1342a and 1342b of the movable member engaging portions 134a and 134b of the two first drive members 13a and 13b, and is screwed. It is fixed to the engaging portions 111a and 111b of the movable member 11.

  Therefore, the first drive member 13a and the movable member 11 are connected to the one engagement member 113 so as to be swingable with respect to each other. The other first driving member 13b and the movable member 11 are coupled so as to be swingable around the engaging member 113. Further, since the engaging hole 1342b of the movable member engaging portion 134b of the other first driving member 13b is a long hole, the engaging member 113 can reciprocate along the axial direction of the engaging hole 1342b. . Therefore, the other first driving member 13b and the movable member 11 are relatively swingable and reciprocally connected.

  In addition, one end of the electric wire 191 accommodated in the recess 137 of the first drive member 13 a is pulled out from the gap 1343 of the side wall 1372 and coupled to the connectors 122 of the light emitting board 12 assembled to the movable member 11. . The other end of the electric wire 191 is coupled to a predetermined substrate or the like (not shown).

  The first portions 135 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are located between the first restricting portion 152 and the power output member of the electric power source 141 when viewed from the front side. In each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b, the inside of the bending portion 131 in the bent portion 131 faces the first restricting portion 152, and the outside is a power output member of the electric power source 141. It is arranged to face the side. And the link member engaging part 133 of the 1st drive members 13a and 13b is arrange | positioned so that it may face the side by which the power output member of the electric power source 141 is arrange | positioned.

  The base end portion of the second drive member 142 is coupled to the power output member (here, the rotation shaft of the motor) of the electric power source 141. For this reason, the second drive member 142 performs a mechanical motion integrally with the operation of the power output member of the electrical power source 141. That is, when the power output member of the electric power source 141 is alternately rotated by a predetermined angle in the forward and reverse directions, the second drive member 142 is also alternately rotated by the predetermined rotation angle in the forward and reverse directions around the base end portion. Only rotate.

  Each of the two first driving members 13a and 13b and each of the two link members 143 are connected to each other by a first connecting pin 195 so as to be relatively swingable. That is, the first connecting pin 195 is inserted through the through hole formed in the link member engaging portion 133 of the first drive members 13a and 13b and the through hole formed at one end of the link member 143. Is done. For this reason, the first drive members 13a and 13b and the link member 143 can swing with respect to each other about the first link member 143. Similarly, each of the two second driving members 142 and each of the two link members 143 are connected to each other by a second connecting pin 196 so as to be relatively swingable.

  Then, the cover member 16 is fixed to the front side of the arrangement surface 151 of the frame member 15. When the cover member is fixed to the frame member, the first portions of the first drive members 13a and 13b and the drive mechanisms 14a and 14b (= electric power source 141, second drive member 142, link member 143, position The front surface of the detection means 144) is covered. Further, the shaft portion 1421 of the second drive member 142 is engaged with a bearing portion 162 provided on the cover member 16. For this reason, the shaft part 1421 of the second drive member 142 is supported by the bearing part 161 of the cover member 16 so as to be rotatable (= swingable).

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, one first driving member 13a and one driving mechanism 14a for driving the first driving member 13a, the other first driving member 13b and the other driving mechanism 14b for driving the first driving member 13b. Is arranged in substantially line symmetry (= substantially mirror symmetry) about a straight line parallel to the first direction passing through the approximate center of the movable member 11 as the approximate center.

  One first drive member 13 a accommodates an electric wire 191, and connectors attached to one end of the electric wire 191 are connected to connectors 122 mounted on the light emitting substrate 12 fixed to the movable member 11. Combined. Then, connectors attached to the other end of the electric wire 191 are coupled to a predetermined circuit board or the like. For this reason, the light emitting substrate 11 can receive a supply of electric power from the outside through the electric wire 191 by relaying a predetermined circuit board or the like.

  Next, the operation of the rendering device 1 will be described. 10 to 15 are plan views schematically showing the operation of the rendering device 1. Specifically, FIGS. 10 and 11 show a state in which the first drive members 13a and 13b are in a first position (described later), and FIGS. 12 and 13 show that the first drive members 13a and 13b are in the second position. FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 schematically show the operation of the movable member 11 swinging. 10, 12, and 14 are views seen from the front side, and FIGS. 11, 13, and 15 are views seen from the back side. In addition, in FIG.11, FIG13 and FIG.15, the detail of the case member 15 is abbreviate | omitted, and the outline is shown with a dashed-dotted line.

  In addition, the movable member 11 may be in an inclined posture (an attitude in which a straight line passing through the two engaging portions 111a and 111b is inclined with respect to the second direction) during the operation of the rendering device 1. Therefore, for convenience of explanation, when the movable member 11 is viewed from the front side or the back side, the posture in which the two engaging portions 111a and 111b are arranged in the second direction (= passing through the two engaging portions 111a and 111b). The posture in a state where the straight line to be parallel to the second direction is referred to as “normal posture”. If the movable member 11 is configured to reciprocate in the vertical direction (if the vertical direction is the “first direction” and the horizontal direction is the “second direction”), the “normal posture” of the movable member 11 is The attitude in which the two engaging portions 111a and 111b are arranged in the left-right direction.

  Further, as described above, the electric power sources 141 of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b can operate synchronously and operate independently of each other. For this reason, the two first drive members 13a and 13b can swing synchronously and can swing independently of each other.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the two electric power sources 141 are operated and the second driving members 142 rotate in the directions indicated by the arrows A and B, the first driving members 13a and 13b are driven. In each of the above, the movement of the second drive member 142 is transmitted by the link member 143 connected to the second drive member 142, and the second drive member 142 and the link member 143 are pulled. Swings in the direction of D. When the second drive member 142 abuts on the second restricting portion 153 provided on the arrangement surface 151 of the frame member 15, the second drive member 142 further has an arrow A and an arrow B, respectively. It cannot be rotated in the direction of. Therefore, the first drive member also does not move in the directions of arrows C and D beyond that. The positions of the first drive members 13a and 13b at the position where the second drive member 142 is in contact with (or is closest to) the second restricting portion 153 (that is, shown in FIGS. 10 and 11). The position) is referred to as “first position” for convenience of explanation.

  In the first position, the axes of the first portions 135 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are inclined with respect to the second direction (here, the left-right direction). On the other hand, the axis of the second portion 136 is substantially parallel to the second direction. And each 2nd part 136 of the two 1st drive members 13a and 13b is located in a substantially straight line along the 2nd direction. Further, the movable member 11 is in a state of being almost contained on the front side of the arrangement surface (= the state in which the movable member 11 does not protrude from the arrangement surface of the frame member or the state in which the movable member 11 hardly protrudes when viewed from the front side). . Since the movable member engaging portions 134a and 134b of the first drive members 13a and 13b are arranged along the second direction, the two engaging portions 111a and 111b of the movable member 11 are also aligned in the second direction. Line up along. For this reason, the movable member 11 assumes a “normal posture”.

That is, when the arrangement surface 151 viewed from the front side is seen as the quadrilateral S, the base end portions (= bearing portions 132) of the first drive members 13a and 13b are “predetermined sides E _{1 of the} quadrilateral S”. ”(= One of two sides parallel to the second direction) (ie, two of the four corners). Then, the first driving member 13a, the first portion 135 of the 13b, the from is inclined with respect to "a given side _{E 1",} the first driving member 13a, 13b bend 131 and the second The portion 136 (that is, the movable member engaging portions 134a and 134b) is in a position that enters the inside of the arrangement surface 151 from the “predetermined side E ₁ ”. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the movable member engaging portions 134a and 134b of the first drive members 13a and 13b are the front surfaces of the arrangement surface 151 and the center or the vicinity of the center of the arrangement surface 151 in the second direction. Located in. For this reason, the movable member 11 is in a state where it is located on the front surface of the arrangement surface 151 when viewed from the front side, in particular, a state in which the movable member 11 does not protrude from the “predetermined side E ₁ ” of the arrangement surface 151 or hardly protrudes. It becomes.

  Furthermore, in the first position, the detected portion 1423 of the second driving member 142 is located at a position that can be detected by the position detecting means 144. For example, when the position detection unit 144 includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element, the detected portion 1423 of the second driving member 142 is between the light emitting element and the light receiving element of the position detecting unit 144. It is in the intrusion position. For this reason, the position detection means 144 can detect the second drive member 142. And the position detection means 144 can detect that each of the 1st drive members 13a and 13b exists in a 1st position by detecting the to-be-detected part 1423 of the 2nd drive member 144. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, when the two electric power sources 141 are operated and the two second drive members 142 rotate in the directions indicated by the arrows E and F, respectively, the two first drives The movement of the second drive member 142 is transmitted to the members 13a and 13b via the link member 143 connected to the second drive member 142, respectively. For this reason, the first drive members 13a and 13b swing in the directions of the arrow G and the arrow H, respectively, while being pushed by the second drive member 142 and the link member 143. When the first drive members 13 a and 13 b move in the directions of arrows G and H, respectively, the first portion 135 comes into contact with the first restricting portion 152. If it does so, the 1st drive members 13a and 13b cannot rotate in the direction of the arrow G and the arrow H any more. Thus, the first drive members 13a and 13b are restricted from moving in the directions of the arrows G and H by the first restricting portion 153.

When viewed from the front side, each of the second portions 136 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b can protrude beyond the “predetermined side E ₁ ” outside the arrangement surface. The first portion 135 cannot protrude from the front surface side of the arrangement surface 151 (= cannot exceed the “predetermined side E ₁ ”). For convenience of explanation, the position at which the first portion 135 is in contact with the first restricting portion 152 of the frame member 15 (or the position in the vicinity thereof) is referred to as the “second” of the first drive members 13a and 13b. Referred to as “position of”.

In order to achieve such a configuration, the first restricting portion 152 has the first portions 135 of the first drive members 13 a and 13 b substantially parallel to the “predetermined side E ₁ ” of the frame member 15. In the state, it is provided at a position where it abuts on the first drive members 13a and 13b. Alternatively, in a state in which the first drive members 13a, 13b are substantially parallel to a straight line passing through the base end portions of the two first drive members 13a, 13b (= two bearing portions 154 provided on the arrangement surface 151), It is provided at a position where it abuts against 13b. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the first restricting portion is configured such that the first portion of the first drive member is applied to the predetermined side of the arrangement surface or in the vicinity thereof. The second part is provided so as not to contact.

  The first driving members 13 a and 13 b are curved or bent at the bent portion 131, and the inside of the curved or bent faces the first regulating portion 152 side. For this reason, when the first portion 135 comes into contact with the first restricting portion 152 and becomes substantially parallel to the predetermined side of the arrangement surface 151, the second portions 136 of the first drive members 13a and 13b are It inclines at a predetermined angle with respect to a predetermined side. The second portions 136 of the first driving members 13a and 13b protrude outward from the predetermined side of the arrangement surface 151. Therefore, the movable member engaging portion 134a of the first drive members 13a and 13b is located outside the arrangement surface 151. The movable member 11 is also located outside the arrangement surface 151 (at least, the portion protruding outside the arrangement surface 151 is increased compared to the first position).

  In the second position, the detected portion 1423 of the second driving member 142 is located at a position that cannot be detected by the position detecting means 144. For example, when a configuration including a light emitting element and a light receiving element is applied as the position detecting unit 144, the detected portion 1423 of the second driving member 142 is between the light emitting element and the light receiving element of the position detecting unit 144. It is in the position which went out from. For this reason, the position detection means 144 cannot detect the detected part 1423 of the second drive member 142. Then, when the detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142 is not detected, it is detected that the first drive members 13a and 13b are in the second position (exactly, not in the first position). Yes (to be precise, it can be detected that it is not in the first position).

From the straight line L passing through the base end portions (= bearing portions 132) of the two first drive members 13a and 13b, the distal end portions (= movable member engaging portions 134a and 134b) of the first drive members 13a and 13b. It is preferable that the distances X ₁ and X ₂ are substantially equal at the first position and the second position (see FIGS. 11 and 13). In other words, the straight lines passing through the base end portions and the tip end portions of the two first drive members 13a and 13b and the base end portions (= bearing portions 132) of the two first drive members 13a and 13b. It is preferable that the angle formed by the passing straight line L is substantially equal between the first position and the second position. With such a configuration, the positions along the second direction of the tip portions of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are substantially equal between the first position and the second position. In other words, the position in the second direction (the position in the left-right direction) is the same when the movable member 11 is at the first position and when the movable member 11 is at the second position.

  Thus, the first drive members 13a and 13b can swing between the first position and the second position by the operation of the electrical power source 141. Then, the movable member 11 performs a predetermined mechanical motion according to the swinging mode of the two first drive members.

  When the two first drive members 13a and 13b are swung in synchronization between the first position and the second position, the movable member 11 becomes the base end portion of the two first drive members 13a and 13b. Is reciprocated along a direction substantially perpendicular to the straight line L passing through. Thus, “a direction substantially perpendicular to the straight line L passing through the base end portions of the two first drive members 13a, 13b” is the “first direction”, and “the two first drive members 13a, The “extending direction of the straight line L passing through the base end portion 13b” is the “second direction”. In addition, although the locus | trajectory of the reciprocation of the movable member 11 becomes a substantially circular arc to be exact | strict, it assumes that it is a substantially straight line. The two first drive members 13a and 13b "swing in synchronization" means that a straight line passing between the base ends of the two first drive members 13a and 13b and two first drive members 13a and 13b. It shall be an operation of swinging in a state in which the angle formed between the base end portion of each of the driving members 13a and 13b and the straight line passing through the distal end portion is maintained at a substantially equal value.

  When the two first driving members 13a and 13b swing in synchronization, the two engaging portions 111a and 111b provided in the movable member 11 are moved in the second direction even while reciprocating. It is maintained in an aligned state (a straight line passing through the two engaging portions 111a and 111b is maintained substantially parallel to the second direction). For this reason, the movable member 11 can reciprocate while maintaining the “normal posture” without being tilted.

  Thus, one first driving member 13a and one driving mechanism 14a for driving the first driving member 13a, and the other first driving member 13b and the other driving mechanism 14b for driving the first driving member 13a are reciprocated by the movable member 11. It is arranged in a substantially line symmetry (= substantial mirror symmetry) with the movement locus as the axis.

  Further, when the two first drive members 13a and 13b swing in opposite directions, the movable member 11 swings. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, for example, one of the first drive members 13a moves from the second position side toward the first position side (= direction of arrow D). When the other first driving member 13b moves from the first position side to the second position side (= moves in the direction of arrow E), the movable member 11 is moved. Tilts in the direction of arrow G. One of the first driving members 13a moves from the first position side toward the second position side, and the other first driving member 13b moves from the second position side to the first position. When moving toward the position side, the movable member 11 tilts in the direction of the arrow H (= inclined in the direction opposite to the arrow G). For this reason, when this operation is repeated alternately, the movable member 11 swings.

  Even when one first drive member 13a and the other first drive member 13b are moved in the same direction, the movable member 11 is shaken by changing the moving speed (= angular speed). Can be moved. Also, the movable member 11 can be swung by stopping one of the two first drive members 13a and 13b and swinging the other one of the two first drive members 13a and 13b. Can do.

  Furthermore, the movable member 11 can be reciprocated while being swung. For example, each of the two first driving members 13a and 13b is moved little by little in the same direction. Then, the movable member 11 gradually moves along the first direction while swinging.

  Next, members other than the rendering device 1 of the game board unit 95 will be described.

  The display device 953 is a device that can display a predetermined symbol, a moving image, or the like according to the game situation. Various known liquid crystal display devices can be applied to the display device 953. Therefore, the description is omitted. The shape of the screen of the display device 953 is not particularly limited, but here, for example, a configuration formed in a substantially quadrilateral shape is shown.

  The case body 952 is a member capable of assembling and accommodating devices and members constituting the game board unit 95. Case body 952 has a box-like configuration with the front side open (in other words, has a tray-like or dish-like configuration with a shallow bottom). An opening (= through hole penetrating in the front-rear direction) is formed in a portion corresponding to the “bottom of the box”. This opening is formed so that the screen of the display device 953 disposed on the back side of the case body 952 can be viewed from the front side of the game board unit 95. For this reason, the dimension and shape of this opening part are set according to the dimension and shape of the screen of a display apparatus. If the screen of the display device 952 is a substantially quadrilateral, this opening is also formed in a substantially quadrilateral.

  The game board 951 is a plate-like member. A game area 9511 is provided on the front side of the game board 951. The game area 9511 is an area where game balls can flow down and is an area partitioned by the guide rail 9512. The game area 9511 is provided with various winning openings and winning devices through which game balls can win, game nails and windmills with which game balls can collide, and other predetermined members and devices.

  In the game area 9511, an opening (= through hole penetrating in the front-rear direction) is formed. The opening is formed so that the operation of the effect device provided on the back surface of the game board and the screen of the display device can be viewed from the front side of the game board unit 95. The size and shape of the opening are not particularly limited. For example, the size and shape of the opening are set according to the decoration of the game board 951 and the like.

  The assembly structure of the game board unit 95 including such devices and members is as follows.

  The production device 1 is assembled to the front side of the case body 952 (the portion corresponding to the inner surface of the “box bottom”). When viewed from the front side, the frame member 15 of the rendering device 1 is disposed so as to be located outside a predetermined side of the opening formed in the case body 952. Further, when viewed from the front side, the frame member 15 of the rendering device 1 is located at a position where the opening formed in the case body 952 is not covered. Preferably, when the frame member 15 of the rendering device 1 is viewed in a substantially quadrilateral shape, the sides where the base ends of the first drive members 13a and 13b are close to each other (out of two sides parallel to the second direction). The side where the base end portions of the first drive members 13a and 13b are close to each other) is substantially aligned with or close to a predetermined side of the opening formed in the case member 952.

  For example, when the opening formed in the case body 952 has a substantially quadrangular shape, and the lower side of the opening is substantially horizontal, the frame member 15 of the rendering device 1 has the opening formed in the case body 952. It arrange | positions so that it may be located below rather than the lower side. In this case, preferably, when the frame member 15 of the rendering device 1 is viewed in a substantially quadrilateral shape, the side where the base ends of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are close to each other is the case member 952. It is arrange | positioned so that it may correspond with the lower side of the opening part formed in this.

 With such a configuration, when the first drive members 13a and 13b of the rendering device 1 are in the first position, the movable member 11 has an opening formed in the case body 952 when viewed from the front side. Located outside.

  The display device 953 is assembled to the back side of the opening of the case body 952 (the part corresponding to the “outside of the“ bottom of the box ”). Therefore, the screen of the display device 953 is exposed to the front side through the opening formed in the case body 952.

  A case member 952 in which the effect device 1 and the display device 953 are assembled is assembled on the back side of the game board 951. Specifically, a portion corresponding to the inner surface of the “box bottom” is assembled so as to face the back surface of the game board 951 at a predetermined distance. For this reason, the display device 953 is located on the back side of the technique board 951. Since the frame member 15 of the rendering device 1 is located outside the opening formed in the case member 952 (= the opening is not blocked) when viewed from the front side, the rendering device 1 is the display device 953. Do not superimpose on the front of (= do not cover the screen). Therefore, the screen of the display device 953 can be viewed from the front side of the game board 951 through the opening formed in the case body 952 and the opening formed in the game area 9511 of the game board 951.

  The rendering device 1 is located between the game board 951 and the display device 953 (= the back side of the game board 951 and the front side of the display device 953). And the game board 951 and the arrangement | positioning surface 151 of the frame member 15 of the production | presentation apparatus 1 become substantially parallel at a predetermined distance. For this reason, the production device 1 is located on the back side of the game board 951 and on the front side of the screen of the display device 953. The first drive members 13a and 13b and the movable member 11 of the production device 1 It will be in the state accommodated between the board 951 and the arrangement | positioning surface 151 of the frame member 15 of the production | presentation apparatus 1. FIG. With such a configuration, the first drive members 13 a and 13 b and the movable member 11 of the rendering device 1 can perform mechanical movement on the front side of the screen of the display device 953. The mechanical operation of the movable member 11 of the effect device 1 can be seen from the front side of the game board through an opening formed in the game area 9511 of the game board 951.

  Further, the front surface (= game area 9511) of the game board 951, the arrangement surface 151 of the frame member 15, and the screen of the display device 953 are provided substantially in parallel. For this reason, the movable member 11 of the rendering device 1 can mechanically move on the front side of the screen of the display device 951 in a plane parallel to the screen.

  16 and 17 are plan views showing the positional relationship between the effect device 1 and the display device 953 in the game board unit 95, as viewed from the front side. FIG. 16 shows a state where each of the two first driving members is in the first position, and FIG. 17 shows a state where the two first driving members are in the second position.

  When the gaming machine 9 according to the embodiment of the present invention is viewed from the front side, the screen of the display device 953 can be seen through an opening formed in the gaming area 9511 of the gaming board 951 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). 16 and FIG. 17, the rendering device 1 is located outside a predetermined side (or an extension line of the predetermined side) α of the display device 953 (= screen of the display device 953).

  In the gaming machine 9 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the display device 953 (= screen of the display device 953) has a substantially quadrangular shape, and is arranged so that the four sides are horizontal and vertical. The rendering device 1 is disposed on the lower side of the display device 953 (= outside of the lower side), and the second direction of the rendering device 1 is parallel to the lower side of the display device 953 (= screen of the display device 953). (= The direction in which the second direction is the horizontal direction). Therefore, the base ends of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are in the vicinity of both ends of the predetermined side (here, the lower side) of the display device 953 (= the screen of the display device 953) (that is, both the left and right sides). The movable member 11 is positioned in the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of a predetermined side of the display device 953 (= screen of the display device 953).

  Each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b is located on the side of the first portion 135 of each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b. Each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b has a first portion 135 of each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b sandwiched between the side farther from the display device 953 (= the side closer to the first position). ). In other words, the first portions 135 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are positioned between the two drive mechanisms 13a and 13b and the display device 953, respectively. In particular, even if the first drive members 13a and 13b are in the first position, the link member 143 and the second drive member 142 of each of the at least two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b have two first drives. The first portions 135 of the members 13a and 13b are located on the far side from the display device 953.

  When the first drive members 13a and 13b are viewed from the proximal end side to the distal end side, respectively, the first drive members 13a and 13b appear to be bent or curved toward the display device 953 at the bent portion. In other words, the display device 953 is located inside the bending or bending direction of the bent portion 131 of the first drive members 13a and 13b.

  The link member engaging portions 133 of the first drive members 13a and 13b are disposed so as to face the power source disposing portion 156 and the position detecting means disposing portion 157 of the frame member 15. In other words, the bent portions 131 of the first drive members 13a and 13b are arranged so that the outer sides of the bent or curved directions face the power source arrangement portion 156 and the position detection means arrangement portion 157 of the frame member 15. Is done.

  The power output member of the electrical power source 141 (= the base end portion of the second drive member 142) is on the side of the first portion 135 of the first drive members 13a and 13b, and the display device 953. It is located on the far side (= the opposite side of the display device 953 across the first portion 135). Similarly, the second drive member 142 and the link member 143 are located on the side of the first portion 135 of the first drive members 13a and 13b and on the side far from the display device 953.

  The operation of the gaming board unit 95 (operation of the gaming machine 9 according to the embodiment of the present invention) is as follows.

  When the first drive members 13a and 13b are in the first position, the axis of the first portion 135 of each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b is set to a predetermined side α (here Then, it is inclined with respect to the lower side. On the other hand, the axis of the second portion 136 of the first drive members 13 a and 13 b is located outside a predetermined side of the display device 953 and is substantially parallel to the predetermined side of the display device 953. And each 2nd part 136 of the two 1st drive members 13a and 13b is located in a substantially straight line. For this reason, the movable member 11 is positioned outside a predetermined side of the display device 953. Furthermore, the front ends of the first drive members 13a and 13b are arranged in the second direction (here, arranged in the left-right direction). For this reason, the two engaging portions 111a and 111b of the movable member 11 are also arranged in the second direction.

  In this state, the distal end portions of the first drive members 13a and 13b are located away from the predetermined sides of the display device 953, so that the movable member 11 is located on the front side of the screen of the display device 953. Do not overlap, or part of them overlaps with the vicinity of a predetermined side of the screen of the display device 953 (in other words, part of the outer peripheral edge of the display device 953 or the end side of the display device). Therefore, when viewed from the front side, the entire or substantially entire display device 953 can be seen, and the movable member 11 does not disturb or hardly interferes with the display of the display device 953. In this way, the entire or substantially the entire image displayed by the display device 953 is in a state visible to the player. Note that this position of the movable member 11 is referred to as a “retracted position” for convenience of explanation. Note that FIG. 16 illustrates a configuration in which the movable member 11 does not overlap the front surface of the display device 953.

  Further, when the first drive members 13a and 13b are in the first position, the second drive member 142 contacts (or approaches) the second restricting portion 153. When the first drive members 13 a and 13 b are in the first position, the detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142 is located at a position that can be detected by the position detection means 144. For example, if the position detection unit 144 is configured to optically detect the detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142, the detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142 is connected to the light emitting element of the position detection unit 144. It is in a position where it enters between the light receiving elements. For this reason, the position detection means 144 can detect the detected part 1423 of the second drive member 142. Therefore, the position detection unit 144 detects the detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142, whereby each of the first drive members 13a and 13b is in the first position and the movable member 11 is in the retracted position. It can be detected.

  When each of the two first driving members 13a and 13b is in the second position, the axis of the first portion 125 of each of the two first driving members 13a and 13b is set to a predetermined value of the display device 953. It is substantially parallel to the side (at least the angle is smaller than the first position). Then, the respective bent portions 131 of the two first drive members 13 a and 13 b approach a predetermined side of the display device 953. The second portions 136 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are bent or curved toward the display device 953 when viewed from the base end. Therefore, when the bent portion 131 approaches a predetermined side of the display device 953 and becomes substantially parallel to the predetermined side of the display device 953, the second portions 136 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are respectively , Superimposed on the front side of the screen of the display device 953 (= positioned at a position entering the front side of the screen of the display device 953). And the front-end | tip part of the two 1st drive members 13a and 13b exists in the position which entered most from the predetermined | prescribed edge | side of the display apparatus 953. For this reason, the movable member 11 is located at a position overlapping the front side of the display device 953. This position of the movable member 11 is referred to as a “superposition position” for convenience of explanation.

  When the two first drive members 13a and 13b are in the second position, the detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142 is located at a position that cannot be detected by the position detection means 144. That is, the detected portion 1423 of the second driving member 142 is at a position outside the space between the light emitting element and the light receiving element of the position detecting means 144. For this reason, the position detection means 144 cannot detect the detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142, and the two first drive members 13a and 13b are not in the first position and are movable. It can be detected that the member 11 is not in the retracted position. That is, it can be detected that at least a part of the movable member 11 is superimposed on the front side of the screen of the display device 953.

  As described above, the two first drive members 13a and 13b can swing between the first position and the second position. Then, the movable member 11 moves the first driving member 13a, 13b between the first position and the second position by swinging between the first position and the second position. Can reciprocate in the direction. Here, when the two electric power sources 141 rotate synchronously, the positions in the first direction (that is, the engaging portions 111a and 111b) of the two first driving members 13a and 13b (that is, the engaging portions 111a and 111b) (that is, , The distance from the straight line L) is maintained substantially the same. For this reason, the movable member 11 is located outside the screen of the display device 953 (= a position that does not overlap the screen of the display device, that is, a position that does not obstruct the screen of the display device) and inside the screen of the display device 953 (= the display device). The position can be reciprocated between the position superimposed on the screen of (i.e., the position blocking the screen of the display device). During the reciprocating motion, the movable member 11 can maintain the “normal posture”. That is, the movable member 11 can reciprocate between the retracted position and the superimposed position without tilting.

  Furthermore, as described above, the movable member 11 can swing and can reciprocate while swinging. For this reason, the movable member 11 can swing at a position superimposed on the front side of the display device 953 (= a state in which the screen of the display device 953 is partially hidden). Further, it is possible to move from the retracted position to the superimposed position while swinging, or to move from the superimposed position to the retracted position while swinging.

  The stage device 1 and the gaming machine 9 according to the embodiment of the present invention (the gaming machine 9 including the stage device 1 and the gaming machine 9 including the gaming board unit 95 assembled with the stage device 1) are as follows. It is possible to achieve various effects.

  The rendering device 1 has a configuration in which one end portions of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are supported so as to be swingable with respect to the frame member 15, and the movable member 11 is connected to the other end portion. For this reason, the operation range of the movable member 11 (= range of reciprocation, displacement) can be increased. That is, the operation range of the movable member 11 changes according to the length from one end to the other end of the two first drive members 13a and 13b, and the operation range can be increased as the length is increased. it can. For this reason, for example, the displacement amount of the movable member 11 can be increased as compared with the configuration in which the intermediate portions of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are swingably supported. According to such a configuration, the movable member 11 can be moved largely on the front side of the display device 953 (= the operating range of the movable member 11 on the front side of the display device 953 can be increased).

  In such a configuration, when the two first drive members 13a and 13b are swung synchronously (= when swung in the same direction), the movable member 11 is moved to the two first drive members 13a and 13b. It can reciprocate according to the rocking motion of 13b. Further, when the two first drive members 13a and 13b swing in opposite directions, the movable member 11 can swing on the spot (= rotate in the forward and reverse directions). Thus, the movable member 11 can be displaced with respect to the frame member in a reciprocating manner or a swinging manner. For this reason, the mode of operation of the movable member 11 (= the mode of mechanical motion) can be changed, and the player's interest in the game can be maintained or improved.

  And the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b for driving each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b can be disposed inside the base end portions of the two first drive members 13a and 13b. For this reason, the space for arrange | positioning drive mechanism 14a, 14b is not required outside each of the two 1st drive members 13a, 13b. Furthermore, each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b may be configured to include only the electric power source 141 (rotational power source), the second drive member 142, and the link member 143. For this reason, each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b does not increase in size or complexity. As described above, the operating range of the movable member 11 can be increased while preventing or suppressing the increase in size of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b for causing the movable member 11 to perform mechanical motion. Moreover, the variation of the operation | movement aspect of the movable member 11 can be increased, preventing or suppressing complication of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b for making the movable member 11 perform a mechanical motion.

  Further, with such a configuration, the movable member 11 is maintained in the “normal posture” state (= inclined) between the two first drive members 13a and 13b and the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b. Can be reciprocated substantially linearly. In other words, in the rendering device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the trajectories of the tip portions of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are the trajectories of the reciprocating motion of the movable member 11. And since it can rock | fluctuate centering on the base end part of the two 1st drive members 13a and 13b (= rocking | fluctuating centering on the intermediate part of the longitudinal direction of the two 1st drive members 13a and 13b) Since this is not a configuration, the radius of curvature of the tip locus can be increased. When this radius of curvature increases, the reciprocating locus of the movable member 11 appears to be a straight line. Then, the two first drive members 13a and 13b are swung synchronously, so that the movable member 11 can reciprocate without tilting.

  Further, with such a configuration, the movable member 11 can be surely and smoothly mechanically moved.

  That is, one first driving member 13a and one engaging portion 111a of the movable member 11 are coupled so as to be relatively rotatable. On the other hand, the other first driving member 13b and the other engaging portion 111b of the movable member 11 are coupled so as to be relatively swingable and reciprocally movable. In other words, the other first driving member 13b and the other engaging portion 111b of the movable member 11 are connected in a state having “play”. With such a configuration, the trajectory of the mechanical movement of the one engaging portion 111b of the movable member 11 is substantially coincident with the trajectory of the tip portion of the one first driving member 13a. For this reason, the position and locus of the one engaging portion 111a of the movable member 11 are uniquely determined according to the swinging mode of the one first driving member 13a. The other engaging portion 111b of the movable member 11 can reciprocate relatively with the engaging portion 111b of the other first driving member 13b. For this reason, the position and locus of the other engaging portion of the movable member are different from the position and locus of the tip of the other first driving member, but the position of one engaging portion 111a and the other first It is uniquely determined according to the position of the drive member 13b. For this reason, the mode (= position and posture) of the mechanical movement of the movable member 11 is uniquely determined as a whole according to the swing mode and position of the two first drive members 13a and 13b. In this way, the movable member can be surely mechanically moved.

  When each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b swings, the distance between the tip portions of the two first drive members 13a and 13b changes. On the other hand, the distance between the two engaging portions 111a and 111b of the movable member 11 is unchanged. Therefore, the difference between the distances can be absorbed by the relative reciprocation of the other first driving member 13b and the other engaging portion 111b of the movable member 11. Therefore, the movable member 11 can perform a mechanical motion smoothly according to the reciprocation of the two first drive members 13a and 13b.

  When the elongated hole is formed in the other first driving member 13b, the degree of freedom of the size and shape of the movable member 11 is not reduced. That is, when the long hole is formed in the movable member 11, the size and shape of the movable member 11 may be limited by the long hole. On the other hand, in the configuration in which a long hole is formed in the other first driving member 13b, the movable member 11 only needs to have the engaging portions 111a and 111b, and a long hole is formed. There is no need. Since the engaging portions 111a and 111b (= having a structure capable of coupling the engaging member 113) are smaller in size than the long holes, the engaging portions 111a and 111b limit the size and shape of the movable member 11. There is nothing to do.

  When the electric wire 191 is not provided in the other first driving member 13b (= the first driving member 13b that cannot reciprocate relative to the movable member 11), the movable member 11 and the other first driving member The relative reciprocation with 13b is not hindered. That is, when the electric wire 191 is provided on the other first driving member 13b (= the first driving member 13b that can reciprocate relative to the movable member), the engaging members 111a and 111b are arranged along the long holes. When reciprocating, the electric wire 191 may hinder the smooth operation of the movable member 11. Furthermore, the electric wire 191 may be damaged by the mechanical movement of the movable member 11. On the other hand, when the electric wire 191 is not provided on the other first driving member 13b, the electric wire 191 prevents the relative displacement between the movable member 11 and the other first driving member 13b. There is nothing. And when it is the structure by which the electric wire 191 is provided in one 1st drive member 13a, relative positional relationship (for example, distance etc.) of one 1st drive member 13a, the electric wire 191, and the engaging part 111b. Therefore, the electric wire 191 does not hinder the smooth operation of the movable member 11 (= does not hinder reciprocation). Therefore, the movable member 11 can perform a mechanical motion smoothly.

  As each electric power source 141 of the two drive mechanisms 14a, 14b, a rotational power source capable of generating forward / reverse rotational power is applied. Each of the two second drive members 142 is coupled to the respective electric power source 141 and can be displaced in a manner of rotating forward and backward with respect to the frame member 15. With such a configuration, it becomes easy to control the range of reciprocation of each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b and to control the mechanical movement. The movable member 11 can be caused to perform various mechanical movements by controlling the operations of the two first drive members 13a and 13b.

  When the movable member 11 is in the retracted position, the movable member 11 is not superimposed on the front surface side of the display device 953, so that the entire image displayed by the display device 953 can be viewed. That is, the movable member 11 can be prevented from obstructing the display of the display device 953. On the other hand, when the movable member 11 is in the overlapping position, the movable member 11 overlaps the front side of the display device 953. For this reason, the movable member 11 covers a part of the screen of the display device 953 so that it cannot be seen. Therefore, the production effect can be enhanced by combining the movement of the movable member 11 between the first position and the second position and the pattern displayed on the display device 953.

  Further, when the movable member 11 is in the retracted position, each of the two first drive members 13 a and 13 b does not overlap the front side of the display device 953. For this reason, it can prevent that the two 1st drive members 13a and 13b prevent the display of the display apparatus 953. In other words, the bent portion 131 is formed in the two first drive members 13 a and 13 b, and the bent portion 131 is bent or curved. Then, the inner side (that is, the valley side) of the bent or curved portion of the bent portion 131 is disposed toward the display device 953. For this reason, when the two first drive members 13a and 13b are in the first position, the two first drive members 13a and 13b move away from the display device 953 from the proximal end portion toward the distal end portion. Therefore, each of the two first driving members 13a and 13b does not overlap the front side of the display device 953 and does not hinder the display of the display device 953.

  Furthermore, even if each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b is in the second position, the two first drive members 13a and 13b can be made inconspicuous (= a player notices). Can be difficult). That is, as described above, in each of the two first drive members 13 a and 13 b, the inside of the bent portion 131 in the bent portion 131 (that is, the valley side) is disposed toward the display device 953. For this reason, when each of the two first driving members 13a and 13b is in the second position, a part of the second portion (the portion between the bent portion 131 and the tip portion) is a display device. It overlaps the front side of 953. However, the first portion (= the portion between the base end portion and the bent portion 131) can be prevented from overlapping the front side of the display device 953. Thus, the part which overlaps with the front side of the display apparatus 953 about each of the two 1st drive members 13a and 13b can be made small. Therefore, the two first drive members 13a and 13b can be made inconspicuous, and the player's interest in the operation of the movable member 11 can be prevented from being lost.

  Each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b is provided on the side of the first portion 135 (= between the base end portion and the bent portion 131) of each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b. And it arrange | positions on the side opposite to the display apparatus 953 on both sides of each 1st part 135 of the two 1st drive members 13a and 13b.

A space for installation can be formed.

  That is, when each of the two first drive members 13 a and 13 b is in the first position, the second portion 136 is in a position away from the display device 953. On the other hand, the first portion 135 is located closer to the display device 953 than the second portion 136. For this reason, if each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b is disposed on the side of the first portion 135, the display device 953 and each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b can be brought close to each other. it can. That is, the distance between the display device 953 and the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b can be reduced. For this reason, the size of the rendering device 1 can be reduced.

  In particular, the first portions 135 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b are inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a predetermined side (here, the lower side) of the display device 953. Each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b can be disposed outside the inclined portion. For this reason, each of the two drive mechanisms 14 a and 14 b can be disposed close to the display device 953. Therefore, even if the space outside the display device 953 is small, it is possible to dispose each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b. In other words, the first portion 135 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a predetermined side of the display device 953, so that In addition, a space for arranging the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b can be formed.

  Furthermore, when each of the first drive members 13a and 13b is located at the first position, the second portion 136 (= the portion between the bent portion 131 and the tip portion) is a predetermined side of the display device 953. Can be made substantially parallel to the predetermined side at a position away from the predetermined distance. Therefore, with such a configuration, the second portions 136 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b can be prevented from overlapping the front side of the display device 953. Furthermore, the second portions 136 of the two first drive members 13a and 13b can be placed along a predetermined side of the display device 953. For this reason, the space required to accommodate the second portion 136 of the first drive members 13a and 13b can be reduced. Therefore, even when the space outside the display device 953 is small, each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b can be reliably retracted from the front side of the display device 953.

  If each of the two drive mechanisms 14a and 14b is configured to include detection means capable of detecting the respective positions of the two first drive members 13a and 13b, the operation of the movable member 11 can be reliably performed. .

  And the position detection means 144 detects each position of the two second drive members 142 (= by detecting the detected part 1423), thereby each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b. The position is detected. With such a configuration, the degree of freedom of the position where the position detecting means 144 is provided is increased. That is, it is not necessary to provide the position detection means 144 in or near the movement trajectory of the two first drive members 13a and 13b.

  Further, the position detection means 144 is configured to detect each detected portion 1423 of the second drive member 142 when each of the two first drive members 13a and 13b is in the first position. . With such a configuration, when the movable member 11 is in the retracted position, the position detection unit 144 can detect the detected portions 1423 of the two second drive members 142. In other words, when the position detection unit 144 detects the detected portions 1423 of the two second drive members 142, the movable member 11 is in the retracted position. Thus, it can be reliably detected that the movable member 11 is in a position that does not overlap the front side of the display device 953. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the movable member 11 from hindering the display of the display device 953.
