Description

  The present invention relates to a movable decoration device for a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, a gaming machine is provided with a variable symbol display device and a movable decoration device, and an effect of raising a special gaming state such as a big hit or a reach is made. For example, the movable decoration device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a fun game for a player by performing a continuous or intermittent movement such as a lifting body reciprocating up and down in a vertical direction on a liquid crystal display screen of a game board in a winning state. It is a waste.

  These movable decorative devices are often installed at positions close to the front glass in order to exert force. For this reason, the above-mentioned comparatively large ornaments do not employ forward / backward rotation or tilting but adopt vertical movements to prevent the ornaments from colliding with the front glass. However, the vertical movement alone always causes the same design surface to be directed to the player, resulting in a lack of variety in expression and lack of interest.

  In FIG. 11, reference numeral 1 denotes a base, which is provided with wall surfaces 2 projecting toward the front side of the game board on the left and right sides of the flat plate portion fixed to the board surface of the game board of the pachinko gaming machine. The flat plate portion is formed with a cutout portion 4 for allowing the rear decoration plate 3 and the like to pass therethrough.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a rear decoration plate supported by the base 1, and its left and right sides are connected to the base 1 via upper and lower link arms 5 and 6. The front ends of the upper and lower link arms 5 and 6 are pivotally attached to the inside of the wall surface 2 of the base 1 by shafts 7 and 8, and the rear ends are pivotally attached to the side surfaces of the rear decoration plate 3 by shafts 9 and 10. Is configured. In the initial state shown in FIG. 2, these link arms 5 and 6 are in a vertical position. In the state shown in FIG. 10 to be described later, the link arms 5 and 6 are bent as shown in order to avoid the link arm 5 from interfering with the shaft 8 and the link arm 6 from interfering with the shaft 9. The part is formed.

  A gear 11 is integrally formed at the front end of the upper link arm 5. A motor 12 is provided on the wall surface 2 of the base 1, and a drive gear 13 at the tip of the output shaft meshes with a gear 11 at the front end of the link arm 5. The motor 12 is driven at the time of a big win or the like, and rotates the upper and lower link arms 5 and 6 backward as shown in FIG. 4 from the initial state of FIG. As a result, the rear decoration plate 3 passes through the cutout portion 4 of the base 1 while keeping the parallel posture with respect to the base 1 and descends to the back side.

  A front decoration plate 15 is supported on the lower end portion of the rear decoration plate 3 via a rotating arm 14. A base gear 16 is integrally formed on the rear decoration plate 3 side of the rotary arm 4. A rear end gear 17 is integrally formed on the rear decoration plate 3 side of the lower link arm 6 and meshes with the base gear 16. Therefore, when the upper and lower link arms 5 and 6 are rotated rearward as described above, the rotary arm 14 rotates forward as shown in FIG. 4, and the shaft connecting the rotary arm 14 and the front decoration plate 15 is connected. 18 rotates forward.

  As shown in FIG. 11, reversing gears 19 and 20 that mesh with each other are provided at the end of the front decorative plate 15 and the end of the rear decorative plate 3 connected by the rotary arm 14. In this embodiment, the reversing gears 19 and 20 are sector gears. By these reversing gears 19 and 20, the front decorative plate 15 rotates forward around the shaft 18 as the shaft 18 rotates forward, and the front decorative plate 15 is moved to the rear decorative component shown in FIGS. The plate 3 is reversely moved from the front contact position of the plate 3 to a hanging position below the rear decoration plate 3 shown in FIGS.

  In addition, the decoration is formed only in the front surface of the back decoration board 3, and the decoration is formed in the front and back both surfaces of the front decoration board 15.

In this normal state, the front decorative plate 15 and the rear decorative plate 3 are folded and held on the base 1 so that their surfaces are aligned. At this time, only the back surface of the front decoration board 15 is visible to the player.

  When winning such as a big win, the motor 12 is driven, and the drive gear 13 rotates the gear 11 at the front end of the upper link arm 5 backward (counterclockwise in the drawing). Since the link arms 5 and 6 form a parallel link, the lower link arm 6 also rotates rearward in the same manner. As a result, the rear decoration plate 3 passes through the notch 4 of the base 1 and descends while moving backward. This state is shown in FIGS.

  The rotation of the lower link arm 6 rotates the rear end gear 17 and rotates the rotating arm 14 forward via the base gear 16 meshing therewith. In conjunction with the rotation of the rotary arm 14, the front decorative plate 15 rotates forward around the shaft 18 and reversely moves to a hanging position below the rear decorative plate 3 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. In the state of FIG. 10, the player can see the front face of the back decoration board 3 and the front face of the front decoration board 15 in two upper and lower stages.

  As described above, the movable decorative device of the present invention displays only the back surface of the front decorative board 15 in the folded state shown in FIG. 1, but greatly lowers the rear decorative board 3 and the front decorative board 15 in the winning state, The front face of the decorative board 3 and the front face of the front decorative board 15 can be displayed in two upper and lower stages, which is excellent in design effect that can enhance the winning state.

  Moreover, the shaft 18 that is the center of rotation when the front decorative panel 15 is rotated forward is in a position moved rearward from the base 1 as shown in FIG. For this reason, the front edge of the front decoration plate 15 rotating forward does not collide with the front glass of the game board, and the ornament with a large area can be rotated.

  Needless to say, if the motor 12 is reversely rotated after the winning state such as the big hit is completed, the state returns to the state shown in FIGS.
