Description

  The present invention provides a decorative body unit, a game board unit, and a game board unit that can exhibit a characteristic effect in the progress of the game by moving a plurality of decorative bodies in and out of the game board surface constituting the pachinko gaming machine. Related to pachinko machines.

In pachinko machines, various board parts such as a prize opening, windmill, variable display device, and lighting device are provided on the board surface of the game board in order to diversify the contents of the game, winning prizes during the game, and other situation changes The stage effect is enhanced by moving the movable panel surface parts in various directions.
For example, when a game ball wins a start winning opening provided on the game board, the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the variable display device in the game board start to fluctuate, and the symbols that have been stopped after a predetermined time have been determined in advance. When it becomes a jackpot symbol, it becomes a jackpot state, and the player can acquire a large number of balls. In such a gaming machine, various display effects are performed in order to enhance the interest of the game.
For example, Patent Document 1 relating to the proposal of the present applicant includes a first movable accessory that reciprocates in the left-right direction parallel to the board surface of the game board, and a second movable accessory that reciprocates in the front-rear direction of the game board. , An accessory device including the above is disclosed. According to this, it is possible to realize an effect corresponding to the complexity and sophistication of game contents.

By the way, when moving the movable accessory in parallel with the game board surface and moving it back and forth between the position protruding on the game board surface and the position retracted from the game board surface, when the movable accessory is retracted from the game board surface In order to avoid interference with other decorative members provided at the retracted position, it is necessary. Depending on the structure of the decorative member, since it is not possible to avoid the interference with the movable accessory, there are many cases where there is a layout limitation that the decorative member cannot be arranged at the retracted position.
In such a case, the rendering effect is remarkably reduced by the fact that the decorative member having a close relationship with the movable accessory cannot be placed at the retracted position of the movable accessory.
If a structure that allows interference (contact, rubbing) with a decorative member every time the movable accessory moves to the retracted position, the durability of these members is significantly reduced or abnormal noise is generated. There is a risk of destabilizing or destabilizing the operation and stop state of the movable accessory.

Next, FIG. 18 is a front view showing an example of a conventional pachinko gaming machine. In the opening of the center member 201 fixed to the game board 200, a facial accessory 202 that represents the face of a character, a weapon accessory 203 that represents a weapon, and a hand accessory 204 that represents left and right hands. , 205 are arranged. The facial accessory 202 is disposed (placed) at a position along the right edge of the opening, and the weapon accessory 203 is supported rotatably between a retracted position indicated by a solid line and a protruding position indicated by a broken line. The handpieces 204 and 205 are configured to be able to appear and retract between a protruding position shown in the drawing and a retracted position retracted in the direction of the arrow. The weapon accessory 203 and the hand accessories 204 and 205 are driven by different driving sources and driving force transmission mechanisms, respectively.
In this pachinko gaming machine, a weapon accessory 203 is arranged in a space between a face accessory 202 and a glass plate (not shown). On the other hand, when the hand accessory 204 is in the illustrated standing position, a part of the hand accessory 204 enters the back of the face accessory 202, and the hand accessory and the face accessory 202 interfere (slid) due to restrictions on the layout. .

In order to avoid such interference, conventionally, a part of the facial feature is configured to be displaceable forward, and a part of the facial feature is displaced using a unique driving source and a driving force transmission mechanism. When the hand accessory 204 moves to the protruding position, a part of the face accessory is displaced forward to avoid interference.
However, since the driving source of the face accessory 202 and the weapon accessory 203 and the driving force transmission mechanism are separately configured, the number of parts is increased, the installation space is increased due to the increase in size, the number of assembly steps is increased, and the cost is increased. It was.

First, the decorative body unit 30 has the following basic configuration.
That is, the decorative body unit 30 includes a first movable decorative body 31 having a first movable member 35 that operates on the game board surface 1, a first drive mechanism 50 that operates the first movable member 35, and A displacement decorative body 60 having a displacement member 61 that moves between a position that interferes with a position that interferes with a second movable member 101, which will be described later, and a position that does not interfere, a second drive mechanism 70 that drives the displacement decorative body, The second movable decorative body 100 (second second) that moves back and forth between a first drive source 80 that drives the second drive mechanisms 50 and 70 and an approach position that is close to the displacement decorative body 60 and a separated position that is spaced apart. Movable member 101) and control means, and the control means drives the first drive source 80 in the first direction to drive the first drive when the second movable member 101 is not in the approach position. The mechanism 50 moves the first movable member 35 in a predetermined direction. The displacement member 61 is held at the interference position that interferes with the second movable member by the second drive mechanism 70, and the first drive source is driven in the second direction when the second movable member 101 is in the approach position. Then, the displacement member 61 is displaced to a non-interference position that does not interfere with the second movable member by the second drive mechanism.

Next, a detailed configuration of the decoration unit according to the present embodiment will be described.
The decorative body unit 30 includes a first movable decorative body (weapon accessory) 31 having a first movable member 35 that advances and retreats between a protruding position protruding on the game board surface and a retracted position retracted from the protruding position. And a first driving mechanism (first driving force transmission mechanism) 50 for moving the first movable member 35 back and forth, and a displacement decorative body (facial combination) located behind the first movable member 35 when the first movable member 35 is in the retracted position. Object) 60, a second drive mechanism (second drive force transmission mechanism) 70 for driving the displacement decorative body, a drive source 80 common to the first and second drive mechanisms 50, 70, and the center member 5 A second movable decorative body 100 comprising a pair of second movable members 101, 102 supported by a pivotal support provided at the lower edge of the second movable member 101, 102, and a second movable decorative body (hand accessory) 100 A third drive mechanism (third drive force transmission mechanism) (not shown) for driving Comprises a second driving source for driving the third driving mechanism, and a control means for controlling each drive source (CPU), a.

One second movable member 101 is configured to advance and retreat between an approach position close to the displacement decorative body 60 and a separated position spaced apart.
Since the second movable member 101 is in a positional relationship that interferes with a part of the displacement decorative body 60 when it stands up (projects) in the layout, in the present invention, a part of the displacement decorative body 60 (displacement member 61). By retreating, the interference with the second movable member 101 is avoided. As shown in FIG. 12, the second movable member 101 rotates about the shaft portion 101a, and advances and retreats between the downward retracted position shown in (a) and the protruding position shown in (b). .

  The first movable decorative body 31 is rotated at the lower part by a fixed member 32 as an arc-shaped long member fixed to the game board 1 or the center member 5 and a rotating shaft 32 a provided at the lower part of the fixed member 32. A curved first movable member 35 that is pivotally supported and a shaft portion 40a at one end are pivotally supported by the fixed member 32, and a shaft portion 40b at the other end is pivotally supported by the first movable member 35. Thus, a curved bar-shaped connecting piece 40 that connects the fixed member 32 and the first movable member 35 is provided. On the side of the fixing member 32, a long hole 32b for loosely fitting the shaft portion 40a at one end is formed. On the first movable member 35 side, there is provided a groove 35a that accommodates the connecting piece 40 when the first movable member is in the retracted position where it overlaps the fixed member 32 (FIGS. 4, 5, and 6). ).

Next, the displacement decorative body 60 includes a displacement member 61 that is displaced between an interference position that interferes with the second movable member 101 at the approach position and a non-interference position that does not interfere.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the displacement decorative body 60 is pivotally supported at one end edge by a base member 63 fixed to the center member 5 and a hinge portion 63 a provided on the base member 63. And a displacement member 61 that rotates in the front-rear direction. When the displacement member 61 is at the initial position (rear position) shown in FIG. 11A, it interferes with the second movable member 101 in the standing state, and the retracted position (front position) shown in FIG. When there is, it is configured not to interfere with the second movable member in the standing state. The displacement member 61 is driven by the second drive mechanism 70.
That is, the displacement member 61 is a gimmick that represents the head (face) of a character appearing in the game content, and one second movable member 101 is shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 12 (a). When the second movable member 101 is in the protruding position shown in FIGS. 2B and 12B, the second position is in the initial position (interference position) when it is in the position retracted downward. Displacement (advancement / retraction, deformation) to a non-interference position that does not interfere with the movable member 101. When the displacement member 61 is in the initial position, the entire character's mask drawn on the surface of the displacement member 61 can be satisfactorily seen by the player in front (FIG. 11 (a)), but at the non-interference position. It is displaced (inclined) forward from the initial position (FIG. 11B).

  In this example, there is a movement path (stop position at the time of protrusion) of the second movable member 101 behind the displacement decoration body 60, and an initial state (second state) where the displacement member 61 of the displacement decoration body is behind (interference position). When the second movable member 101 is projected in a state of interfering with the movement path of the movable member, there is a problem that collision and rubbing occur. Therefore, the displacement member 61 is displaced forward from the retraction path of the second movable member 101 in accordance with the timing at which the second movable member 101 rises (protrudes) to prevent interference. Moreover, since the displacement member 61 and the 1st movable member 35 are driven by the common 1st drive source 80, a component can be reduced and it can make compact.

As shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A, 3C, and 3D, when the second movable member 101 is not in the protruding position, the first movable member 35 is retracted. It may be in a position or in a protruding position.
Further, when the second movable member 101 is in the protruding position as shown in FIG. 2B, or when the second movable member 101 is standing up toward the protruding position as shown in FIG. When in position, interference between the displacement member 61 and the second movable member 101 and rubbing occur, and durability decreases due to collision and rubbing of each member (see FIGS. 12A and 12B). ). In the present invention, the control means controls the displacement member 61 to be displaced to the non-interference position in synchronism with the operation of raising the first movable member. Further, since the first movable member 35 and the displacement member 61 are separately operated using one drive source 80, the number of drive sources can be reduced and the drive mechanism can be made compact. .

The first drive mechanism 50 moves the drive gear 51 rotated by the motor 80 and the first movable member 35 in the retracted position to the protruding position when rotated in the first direction by being driven by the drive gear. And a driven gear 53 that moves the first movable member in the protruding position to the retracted position when rotating in the second direction.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the first drive mechanism 50 includes a motor (first drive source) 80 that is fixed to a base member 63 (other fixed portion) of the displacement decorative body and that can be rotated forward and backward. The drive gear 51 whose axis is fixed to the output shaft, the driven gear 53 that is pivotally supported by the base member 63 and meshed with the drive gear 51, and the shaft portion 63c provided at the base member 63 are rotated by the shaft portion 63c. An operating piece that is freely pivotally supported and has one elongated hole 55a on one end side, and a second elongated hole 55b on the other end side, in which a pin 53a projecting at an appropriate position on the back surface of the driven gear 53 is loosely fitted. 55. By loosely fitting the operating pin 36 projecting from the first movable member 35 into the other elongated hole 55b, the driving force from the motor 80 can be transmitted to the first movable member 35 by the operating piece 55. it can. The actuating pin 36 can stabilize a turning track around the turning shaft 32a by loosely fitting into an arcuate guide hole 63b provided in the base member 63 (or the fixing member 32). The rotation shaft 32a is provided with a torsion spring (elastic member) 56 to constantly bias the first movable member 35 in the retracting direction. Therefore, unless the first drive mechanism 50 operates and the operating piece 55 rotates the first movable member 35 to the protruding position against the torsion spring 56, the rotating member 35 continues to stop at the retracted position.
In this example, the pin 53a protrudes from a disk 53b integrated on the back surface of the driven gear 53.

Next, the relationship between the rotation of the driven gear 53 and the operation of the members 35 and 61 will be described based on the front view of the driven gear of FIG.
First, the driven gear 53 is assumed to be in the initial position when the reference position 53S provided along the outer periphery thereof is at a position that coincides with the origin 0 on the fixed side. The driven gear 53 rotates forward and backward from the initial position in the A direction which is a counterclockwise direction and the B direction which is a clockwise direction by forward and reverse rotation of the motor 80. When the reference position 53S of the driven gear rotates from the origin 0 to the A direction by a predetermined step and reaches the point C, the first movable member 35 that has been at the retracted position reaches the protruding position. On the other hand, when the reference position 53S of the driven gear rotates by a predetermined step from the origin 0 in the B direction and reaches the point D, the displacement member 61 that has been in the interference position so far is displaced to the non-interference position.
When the reference position 53S of the driven gear rotates from the point C in the clockwise direction A ｀ and moves to the origin 0, the first movable member 35 that has been in the protruding position so far returns to the retracted position.
When the reference position 53S of the driven gear rotates from the point D in the counterclockwise direction B ｀ and moves to the origin 0, the displacement member 61 that has been in the non-interference position so far returns to the interference position.
Thus, forward / reverse rotation of the motor 80 (driven gear 53) is performed with the origin 0 as the initial position, thereby operating the first movable member 35 and the displacement member 61 individually.

Next, the operation of the first drive mechanism 50 is as follows.
First, in the retracted state of the first movable member 35 shown in FIG. 9A which is a front view, the motor (first drive source) 80 is stopped, so that the first movable member 56 is actuated by the action of the torsion spring 56. The member is stopped at the retracted position. At this time, the operating piece 55 maintains an initial posture tilted slightly to the left from the vertical state, and the operating pin 36 is positioned at one end of the guide hole 63b.
Next, when the motor 80 is driven and the driven gear 53 rotates in the first direction (protruding direction) indicated by the arrow a, the pin 53a moves in the one long hole 55a of the operating piece 55 and the operating piece is pivoted. It is rotated clockwise around the part 63c. Then, as shown in FIG. 9B showing the intermediate state, the operation pin 36 integrated with the first movable member 35 starts to rotate in the protruding direction along the track along the guide hole 63b around the rotation shaft 32. Finally, as shown in (c), the first movable member 35 is completely moved to the protruding position. (B) In the process of (c), the torsion spring 56 is in a compressed and accumulated state. In the protruding state (c), the operating pin 36 is located on the other end side of the guide hole 63b.
When returning from the projecting state of FIG. 9C to the initial state of FIG. 9A, the motor may be reversed, and the first movable member 35 quickly moves to the initial position by the return force of the torsion spring 56. .

Next, as shown in FIG. 10 or the like which is a rear view, the second drive mechanism 70 includes an action piece 57 integrally projecting to the outer diameter side of the driven gear 53 and the driven gear in the second direction (retracted). A displacement mechanism 71 that is actuated by the action piece 57 in the process of rotating in the direction (b) and moves the displacement member 61 at the interference position to the non-interference position.
That is, in the displacement mechanism 71 shown in detail in FIG. 13, the engagement protrusion 61a projecting from the displacement member 61 is fitted into the engagement hole 72a provided at one end, and the other part in the same direction. An operating member 72 having two elongated holes 72b and 72c extending is provided, and a guide projection 73 projecting forward from a back member (not shown) fixedly arranged on the back side of the operating member 72 is provided in each of the elongated holes 72b and 72c. Mating. The actuating member 72 is guided by the guide projection 73 to advance and retreat in the arrow direction (b) (b), and is urged in the arrow (b) direction by the return spring 75, whereby the initial position shown in FIG. It is energized towards. When the driven gear 53 in the state of FIG. 10A rotates in the counterclockwise direction b and the operating piece 57 presses the shoulder 72d of the operating member 72, so that the operating member moves in the direction of arrow (A). Next, the displacement member 61 is rotated forward about the hinge 63a to be in a displaced state (retracted position) (FIGS. 10A to 10C, FIG. 11B, FIG. 12B, and FIG. 14). (A) thru | or (c), FIG. 15 (a) thru | or (c), FIG. 16 (a) thru | or (c)). Further, when the displacement member 61 is in the displacement state shown in FIGS. 10C, 11B, and 12B, if the motor is reversed and the driven gear 53 is reversed, the pressing by the action piece 57 is performed. Therefore, the actuating member 72 is moved in the direction of the arrow (b) by the return spring 75, and the displacement member 61 is shown in FIGS. 10 (a), 11 (a), 12 (a), and 14 (a). 15 (a) and 16 (a) return to the initial position.

The relationship between the operations of the first drive mechanism 50, the second drive mechanism 70, and the second movable member 101 is as follows.
First, when the motor (first drive source) 80 is driven in the first direction (protruding direction) while the first movable member 35 is in the retracted position, the first drive mechanism 50 is activated and the first The movable member 35 is moved to the protruding position (FIG. 1B, FIG. 4B, etc.). At this time, the second drive mechanism 70 is in a non-driven state, and holds the displacement member 61 at the interference position (FIG. 11A).
This will be described with reference to FIG. 17. When the driven gear 53, which was in the initial position where the reference position 53S coincided with the origin 0, rotates in the direction A and reaches the point C, it has been in the retracted position until then. The first movable member 35 moves to the protruding position. At this time, since the reference position 53S of the driven gear does not move from the origin 0 in the B direction, the displacement member 61 remains held at the interference position.
Next, when the driven gear is rotated in reverse until the motor rotates in the reverse direction until the reference position 53S reaches the origin 0 from the point C, the first driving mechanism 50 is operated to retract the first movable member 35 in the protruding position. Move to a position (FIG. 1A, FIG. 4A, etc.). Further, when the reference position 53S continues to rotate in the direction B beyond the origin 0, the second drive mechanism 70 operates, and when the reference position 53S reaches the point D, the displacement member 61 is moved to the non-interference position (FIG. 11). The displacement is completed in (b)).

  In addition, since the position when the second movable member 101 stands up corresponds to the rear of the displacement member 61, it interferes with the second movable member when the displacement member is at the initial position (rear position). In order to avoid interference between the two, it is necessary to displace the displacement member forward, which is a non-interference position. When the first movable member 35 is in the protruding position as shown in FIG. 1B, the control means does not need to hold the displacement member 61 in the non-interfering position that is difficult to visually recognize from the front. To move to an interference position that is in an easily viewable position. On the other hand, when the second movable member 101 stands, the second drive mechanism 70 is driven so as to move the displacement member to the non-interference position. At this time, in this example, the first movable member 35 is moved to the retracted position (FIGS. 12A and 12B).

As described above, in the decorative body unit 30 of the present invention, the control means controls the second drive source (not shown) to hold the second movable member 101 at the separated position, and thus the first drive source 80. Is driven in the first direction to move the first movable member 35 in the retracted position to the protruding position by the first driving mechanism 50, and the displacement member 61 is held in the interference position by the second driving mechanism 70. When the second movable member 101 is moved to the approach position, the first drive source 80 is driven in the second direction, and the first drive member 50 retracts the first movable member 35 at the protruding position. While being moved to a position, the displacement member is displaced to a non-interference position by the second drive mechanism.
In this way, the first movable decorative body 31 and the displacement decorative body 60 are made different depending on one drive source 80 by rotating the driven gear 53 (motor 80) forward and backward around the origin 0 shown in FIG. Drive to work. Therefore, the displacement member 61 can realize the operation for avoiding the interference with the second movable member 101 by the drive source common to the first movable decorative body 31, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts and the number of assembly steps. Can be reduced.

In this example, the movable member 35 of the first movable decorative body is configured to advance and retreat in the horizontal direction from the center of the game board, but the advance and retreat direction is not limited, so that it can advance and retreat in the up-down direction or the oblique direction. It may be configured.
Moreover, although the position of the displacement decorative body is the right end edge of the opening of the center member 5 in the illustrated example, this is also an example, and there is no restriction on the location of the displacement decorative body.
Moreover, although the example which raises the 2nd movable member by rotating rightward from the lower end edge of the opening part of a center member was shown, this is also an example and you may move to what direction.
The decorative body unit 30 and the game board shown in the above embodiment constitute a game board unit. In addition, this gaming board unit can be applied to pachinko gaming machines and other gaming machines.
Further, although the detailed configuration of the pachinko gaming machine is not illustrated and described, there is no doubt that the pachinko gaming machine is included in the technical scope of the present invention.
