  In the conventional movable accessory device described above, a plurality of claw-shaped first movable pieces and second movable pieces are arranged in a line at the retracted position, or only each first movable piece is placed between the retracted position and the protruding position. Since it can be reciprocated, the effect of playing the game can be enhanced by associating the movement of the first movable piece with the display content of the variable display device. In this case, when a wiring board on which a light source such as an LED is mounted is disposed on the back side of the first and second movable pieces, the first movable piece and the second movable piece are individually illuminated by the light of the light source. Since not only a movable effect of stopping / moving the first movable piece but also a light-emitting effect is added, it is possible to produce a highly interesting effect. However, since it is necessary to dispose the wiring board on which the light source is mounted on the back surface side of the first movable piece and the second movable piece, there is a problem that the illumination mechanism is large and complicated as a whole. The first movable piece provided on the movable plate that reciprocates between the position and the protruding position also has a problem that the cable routing structure for supplying power to the light source becomes troublesome.

  The present invention has been made in view of the actual situation of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a movable accessory device capable of illuminating a movable body with an illumination mechanism having a simple structure.

  In order to achieve the above object, a movable accessory device of the present invention includes a base member disposed at a predetermined position of a gaming machine, a first illuminator movably supported by the base member, A driving mechanism for reciprocally moving one illuminator between a retracted position and a projecting position; a wiring board disposed in front of the first illuminator; a plurality of light sources mounted on the wiring board; A second illuminator disposed between the illuminator and the wiring board, wherein the first illuminator and the second illuminator are made of a light-transmitting resin molded product having an uneven light diffusion surface. In addition, a reflector is fixed to the back side of the first illuminator, and the light from the light source passes through the second illuminator and the first illuminator and is reflected by the reflector, and then the reflected light is reflected. The first illuminator and the second illuminator are irradiated from the back side.

  In the movable accessory device configured as described above, the wiring board is disposed so as to cover the first and second illuminators, and the light of the light source mounted on the wiring board is transmitted to the second illuminator. After passing through the first illuminator, the light is reflected by the reflector fixed on the back side of the first illuminator and travels forward, so that the reflected light from the reflector is on the back side with respect to the first and second illuminators. By irradiating from, it is possible to illuminate both the first illuminator and the second illuminator using a common light source.

  In the above configuration, the second illuminator may be disposed so as not to move (fixed state) to the retracted position, but the second illuminator moves between the retracted position and the protruding position in conjunction with the first illuminator. The reciprocating movement is preferable because both the movable effect and the light emission effect can be performed for each of the first and second illuminators.

  In this case, when the second illuminator moves to the protruding position in conjunction with the first illuminator, the tip position of the first illuminator protrudes from the tip position of the second illuminator. Since the first and second illuminators illuminate in the projecting position while being displaced in both the planar direction and the depth direction, it is possible to realize a three-dimensional and impactable moving effect and light emitting effect.

  In the movable accessory device of the present invention, the second illuminator is disposed in front of the first illuminator that reciprocates between the retracted position and the protruding position, and covers the first illuminator and the second illuminator. And a light source mounted on the wiring substrate passes through the second and first illuminators, and then is reflected by a reflector fixed to the back side of the first illuminator. Since the reflected light from the reflector is irradiated from the back side to the first and second illuminators, the first illuminator and the second illuminator are used using a common light source. Both of the illuminators can be illuminated.

  A plurality of LEDs are mounted as light sources on both the front and back surfaces of the wiring board 45, and the light of the LEDs 63 mounted on the front surface (front surface) side of the wiring board 45 is applied to the first decorative board 58 and the second decorative board 59. The light of the LED 64 mounted on the back surface side of the wiring board 45 is irradiated toward the transparent plate 60. Most of these LEDs 63 and LEDs 64 are front-emitting type chip LEDs, but as shown in FIG. 16, some of the LEDs 64 mounted on the outer edge of the back side of the wiring board 45 are side-emitting type chip LEDs ( Reference numeral 64a is attached). In addition, a plurality of connectors 65 are mounted on the back side of the wiring board 45 so that power is supplied to the LEDs 63 and 64 (64a) via a wire harness (not shown) connected to the connectors 65. It has become.

  The driven base 46 is disposed between the fixed base 39 and the front base 44 and is guided by the transparent plate 60 and the guide holes 60a, 61a, 62a of the upper and lower guide bodies 61, 62 so as to be movable in the left-right direction. A plurality of rollers 46b are rotatably supported on the driven base 46. By inserting these rollers 46b into the corresponding guide holes 60a, 61a, 62a, the driven base 46 is moved in the direction of the straight line X1-X2. It is designed to move smoothly. The driven base 46 is molded using a light transmissive resin such as polycarbonate, and a plurality of second illuminators 66 are integrally molded in the vertical direction (the direction of the straight line Y1-Y2 in FIG. 22) with a predetermined interval. ing. The number of the second illuminating body 66 and the movable piece 43 is the same, and in the case of this embodiment, the four second illuminating bodies 66 are arranged so as to overlap in front of the corresponding movable piece 43 (F1 direction in FIG. 22). Has been. The second illuminator 66 is formed in a bowl shape like the first illuminator 54 described above, and the outer surface and the inner surface thereof are uneven light diffusing surfaces 66a. In addition, the four second illuminators 66 have different overall shapes, but each has a sharp shape with the tip side (X1 direction in FIG. 9) sharpened in the same manner as the first illuminator 54. . However, the length of each second illumination body 66 in the left-right direction (straight line X1-X2 direction) is set shorter than the corresponding movable piece 43 (first illumination body 54). Transmission pins 46 a are provided on both end surfaces of the driven base 46 in the vertical direction, and these transmission pins 46 a are inserted into the recesses 52 b of the transmission member 52 fixed to the moving base 42. Therefore, when the left and right end surfaces in the horizontal direction (front end surface W1 and rear end surface W2 shown in the reference side surface of FIG. 22) come into contact with the transmission pin 46a as the moving base 42 moves, the driven base 46 moves to the moving base. Moves left and right together with 42. However, since the horizontal length (dead zone S) of the recess 52b is set to be sufficiently longer than the diameter of the transmission pin 46a, the transmission pin 46a has a front end surface W1 and a rear end surface of the recess 52b. When in the non-contact position away from W2, only the moving base 42 moves and the driven base 46 does not move.

  In the gaming machine (pachinko machine) configured as described above, the pair of left and right movable accessory devices 38 is normally in a non-operating state in which the motor 41 is not energized, and as shown in FIG. Most of the movable objects including the (movable piece 43) and the second illuminator 66 are covered by the front base 44. Note that the movable object unit 26 is also in a non-operating state in which a motor (not shown) is not energized, and both the movable bodies 26 a and 26 b are stopped at an initial position above the display screen 27 a of the variable display device 27.

  5 to 11 show the non-operating state of the movable accessory device 38. In this non-operating state, the moving base 42 and the driven base 46 are stopped at the initial position which is the end position in the direction of the arrow X2 in FIG. When this position is referred to as a retracted position, both pinions 49 of the shaft 47 mesh with the front end portions of the upper and lower racks 42b at the retracted position. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, each guide pin 57b integrated with each of the four movable pieces 43 is engaged with the rear end portion (the end portion in the X2 direction) of the corresponding guide groove 40a. Each movable piece 43 is stopped in a predetermined posture defined by its own rotation center and guide pin 57b. Further, the transmission pin 46a of the driven base 46 is in contact with the front end surface W1 of the recess 52b of the transmission member 52, and the four second illuminators 66 provided on the driven base 46 are connected to the corresponding four movable pieces 43 and the front and rear. Stopped in the direction that overlaps the direction. Therefore, when the player views the movable accessory device 38 from the front, the tip of the movable piece 43 (first illuminator 54) and the second illuminator 66 can be visually recognized, but most other surface portions are the front surface. It is covered with the base 44 so that it is not visually recognized.

  In this state, when the motor 41 is energized and started in one direction, the rotation of the motor 41 is transmitted to the shaft 47 via both idle gears 50 and 48, and then the rotation of the shaft 47 engages the pinion 49 and the rack 42b. Since the signal is transmitted to the movement base 42 via the location, the movement base 42 starts to move in the arrow X1 direction from the retracted position toward the center of the display screen 27a. As a result, the movable piece 43 rotatably held by the moving base 42 also moves in the arrow X1 direction, and the guide pin 57b moves from the rear end portion of the guide groove 40a toward the front end portion. At that time, the rotational center of the movable piece 43 (the center of the support shaft 54a) moves in the direction of the arrow X1, but the guide groove 40a intersects the moving direction of the moving base 42 (straight line X1-X2). When the moving base 42 moves in the arrow X1 direction, the movable piece 43 changes its posture while rotating around the shaft hole 42a according to the movement of the guide pin 57b along the guide groove 40.

  When the rotation of the motor 41 is stopped when the pinion 49 moves to the rear end of the rack 42b, the moving base 42 moves to the end position in the arrow X1 direction and stops as shown in FIGS. . When this position is referred to as a protruding position, the guide pin 57b is engaged with the front end portion (the end portion in the X1 direction) of the guide groove 40a at the protruding position, and the movable pieces 43 have their tip portions close to each other. It protrudes from the front base 44 in a posture. As a result, the linear movement of projecting the four movable pieces 43 hidden behind the front base 44 into the display screen 27a gradually rotates the tip side of each movable piece 43 as the amount of projection increases. Since the operation is added, it is possible to perform a novel movable effect with high impact.

  Further, when the moving base 42 starts to move from the retracted position to the protruding position in this way, first, the front end surface W1 of the recess 52b of the transmission member 52 is separated from the transmission pin 46a, and the movement base 42 is moved in the direction of the arrow X1. After moving by a predetermined amount, the rear end surface W2 of the recess 52b comes into contact with the transmission pin 46a. That is, during this period, since the power transmission from the moving base 42 to the driven base 46 is a dead zone S (playing area), the driven base 46 does not move while stopped at the retracted position, and each second light emitter 66 is not moved. The state where most except for a part on the front end side is covered with the front base 44 is maintained. Then, after the transmission pin 46a comes into contact with the rear end surface W2 of the recess 52b, when the movement base 42 further moves in the arrow X1 direction, the movement of the movement base 42 moves to the driven base 46 via the transmission member 52 and the transmission pin 46a. Therefore, the driven base 46 moves to the projecting position together with the moving base 42, and covers the front of the movable piece 43 that is moving so that each second illumination body 66 projects from the front base 44 first. Overlapping at delayed timing. At this time, as is apparent from FIGS. 19 and 21, the tip position of the movable piece 43 protrudes in the X1 direction (closer to the center of the display screen 27a) than the tip position of the second illuminator 66. Most of the first illuminating body 54 including the tip is exposed without being covered by the second illuminating body 66. Thereby, the protrusion amount (left-right position) of the front-end | tip part in the 1st illumination body 54 and the 2nd illumination body 66 arrange | positioned with the phase difference of the front-back direction in steps from the front base 44 is varied, and the left-right protrusion direction And the reflected light γ4 of the reflector 55 emitted from the first illuminator 54 is transmitted through the light diffusion surface 66a of the second illuminator 66 and emitted forward, so that the surface of the first illuminator 54 Compared with the above, the surface of the second illuminator 66 is given a flickering change by adding reflected light, so that the depth in the front-rear direction from the front base 44 where the light of the LED 63 is irradiated toward the first illuminator 54 to the display screen 27a The feeling can be effectively enhanced and expressed based on the accessory arrangement relationship and the light emission mode.

  In the case of the present embodiment, since the pair of movable accessory devices 38 are arranged on the left and right sides of the display screen 27a of the variable display device 27, the plurality of movable pieces 43 and the second illuminator 66 are arranged on the display screen 27a. A movable effect of projecting from the side toward the center can be performed. Further, as shown in FIG. 23, by operating the pair of movable accessory device 38 and the movable object unit 26 at the same time, the movable piece 43 so as to sandwich the movable object unit 26 that has dropped to the center of the display screen 27a. And the dynamic movable effect that the 2nd illumination body 66 approaches from both sides can be performed.

  On the other hand, when the motor 41 is rotated in the direction opposite to the above when the moving base 42 is in the protruding position, only the moving base 42 first moves from the protruding position in the direction of the arrow X2, and the transmission pin 46a moves to the rear of the recess 52b. After moving away from the end surface W2 and coming into contact with the front end surface W1, the moving base 42 and the driven base 46 are moved together to the retracted position. As a result, each movable piece 43 returns to its original posture and stops, and each second illuminator 66 stops in a state where it overlaps the front of the corresponding movable piece 43, and the movable piece 43 and the second illuminator 66 are stopped. Disappears behind the front base 44 again.

  Further, when power is supplied to the LEDs 63 and 64 of the wiring board 45 when the moving base 42 is moving between the retracted position and the protruding position, or when the moving base 42 is stopped at the protruding position, The first decorative plate 58 and the second decorative plate 59 of the front base 44 can be illuminated by the light of the LED 63 mounted on the front surface side of the wiring substrate 45, and the LED 64 (64a mounted on the back surface side of the wiring substrate 45 is also provided. ) Can illuminate the first illuminator 54 and the second illuminator 66 of the movable piece 43.

  Here, the movable piece 43 includes a first illuminator 54 and a reflector 55 that covers the back surface of the first illuminator 54, and the surfaces of the bowl-shaped first illuminator 54 and the second illuminator 66 are uneven light diffusion surfaces. 54b and 66a, the light of the LED 64 mounted on the back side of the wiring board 45 passes through the transparent plate 60 and the second illuminator 66 and enters the first illuminator 54, and then the reflector 55 The light is diffusely reflected by the reflection surface 55 b and emitted from the first light emitter 54.

  This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 22. When power is supplied to each LED 63 mounted on the back side of the wiring board 45, irradiation light γ1 having a predetermined directivity angle is transmitted from each LED 63 to the transparent plate 60. The irradiated light γ1 is transmitted through the transparent plate 60 and irradiated onto the outer surface of the second illumination body 66. Irradiation light γ1 applied to the outer surface of the second illuminator 66 is diffused by the light diffusion surfaces 66a on both the front and back surfaces when passing through the second illuminator 66, and then the first illuminator as indicated by reference numeral γ2. The outer surface of the body 54 (movable piece 43) is irradiated. This irradiating light γ2 is diffused by the light diffusing surfaces 54b on both the front and back sides when passing through the first illuminator 54, and then passes through the closed space β in the movable piece 43 as indicated by the symbol γ3. The reflective surface 55b is irradiated. The irradiation light γ3 applied to the reflection surface 55b of the reflector 55 is diffusely reflected by the reflection surface 55b, returns to the closed space β, is applied to the back surface of the first illumination body 54, and is transmitted again when passing through the first illumination body 54. After being diffused by the light diffusing surface 54b, it is irradiated forward from the outer surface of the first illuminator 54 as indicated by reference numeral γ4. At that time, in the place where the second illuminator 66 and the first illuminator 54 (movable piece 43) overlap in the front-rear direction (F1-F2 direction), the reflected light γ4 emitted from the first illuminator 54 is the second. Since the reflected light γ4 is irradiated toward the back surface of the illuminating body 66, the reflected light γ4 is diffused again by the light diffusing surface 66a when passing through the second illuminating body 66, and then forward from the outer surface of the second illuminating body 66. Will be irradiated.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19, when both the movable piece 43 (first illuminator 54) and the second illuminator 66 protrude from the front base 44, they are exposed without overlapping the second illuminator 66. As for the tip portion of the movable piece 43, the reflected light γ4 of the reflector 55 emitted from the first illuminator 54 is irradiated to the player as it is, so that the tip portion of the movable piece 43 is like a piece of glass. It can be illuminated with glare. On the other hand, with respect to the second illuminator 66 that overlaps the rear end of the movable piece 43, the reflected light γ4 of the reflector 55 emitted from the first illuminator 54 passes through the light diffusion surface 66a of the second illuminator 66. By emitting the light forward, the second illuminator 66 can also be illuminated with glare like a piece of glass. At this time, when the side-emitting LEDs 64a mounted on the outer edge of the wiring board 45 are simultaneously turned on, the light of the LEDs 64a is irradiated obliquely from the front to the first and second illuminators 54 and 66. The glare on the tip side of the first illuminator 54 and the second illuminator 66 can be increased.

  Note that the illuminating operation of the first illuminator 54 and the second illuminator 66 is performed while the moving base 42 is moving or when it is stopped. When the movable base 42 is reciprocated in the region S, only the movable piece 43 can be moved in and out of the front base 44 while the second illuminating body 66 is hidden. It is possible to realize a novel illumination effect and a movable effect that the piece 43 comes in and out of the front base 44. Alternatively, when the LED 64 is turned on when the moving base 42 is moving in the vicinity of the protruding position or stopped at the protruding position, both the first illuminating body 54 and the second illuminating body 66 are shiningly illuminated as described above. Can do. Accordingly, when the first illuminator 54 (movable piece 43) moves from the retracted position (initial position) covered by the front base 44 to the projecting position projecting toward the middle-high part of the display screen 27a, the front base 44 side The light emitted from each LED 63 that is mounted on the wiring board 45 and does not move emits light uniformly on the entire outer surface of the first illumination body 54 that moves in a complicated manner with a sliding operation and a rotating operation without causing a difference in brightness. Can be made.

  As described above, in the movable accessory device 38 according to this embodiment, a plurality of movable pieces 43 are held by the moving base 42 that can move between the retracted position and the protruding position. The first illuminating body 54 has a bowl shape and a reflector 55 that covers the back surface of the first illuminating body 54, and the second illuminating body 66 has a bowl shape in front of each first illuminating body 54. Then, after the light of the LED 64 mounted on the back surface side of the wiring board 45 passes through the second illuminator 66 and the first illuminator 54, it is reflected by the reflector 55 and travels forward of the first illuminator 54. Therefore, by irradiating the reflected light from the reflector 55 to the first illuminator 54 and the second illuminator 66 from the back side, the first illuminator 54 and the second illuminator 66 using the common LED 64. Both can be illuminated.

  In addition, since each second illuminator 66 is provided on the driven base 46 and the driven base 46 reciprocates between the retracted position and the protruding position in conjunction with the moving base 42, the first illuminator 54 ( It is possible to illuminate while moving only the movable piece 43), or to illuminate while moving the first illuminator 54 and the second illuminator 66 together, thereby improving the variation of the movable effect and the illumination effect. Further, when both the first illuminator 54 and the second illuminator 66 move to the protruding position, the distal end position of the first illuminator 54 on the back side protrudes from the distal end position of the second illuminator 66 on the near side. Therefore, the first illuminating body 54 and the second illuminating body 66 are illuminated at a protruding position in a state where they are displaced in both the plane direction (left-right direction) and the depth direction (front-rear direction), and the impact is three-dimensional. A movable effect and a light-emitting effect can be realized.

  In the above-described embodiment, the front light emitting type and side light emitting type LEDs 64 and 64a are mounted on the wiring board 45, and the front side of the first light emitting body 54 and the second light emitting body 66 is irradiated with light from the side light emitting type LED 64a. However, the side light emitting type LED 64a may be omitted when the amount of protrusion of the first illuminating body 54 is small, or the side light emitting type LED 64 having a large directivity angle may be used. It is also possible to omit the light emitting type LED 64a. The first illuminator 54 and the second illuminator 66 may be uniform in thickness (thickness from the front surface to the back surface), but in order to enhance the light diffusion effect, the thickness is not uniform. preferable.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the pair of movable accessory devices 38 are arranged on the left and right sides of the display screen 27a of the variable display device 27 has been described. However, one of the movable accessory devices 38 is omitted. Is also possible. Further, the arrangement place of the movable accessory device 38 is not limited to the side position of the display screen 27a, and may be arranged at an upper position or a lower position of the display screen 27a.

  Moreover, although the case where the movable accessory apparatus 38 by this invention was applied to the pachinko machine was demonstrated in the said example of embodiment, it can also be applied to other game machines, such as a slot machine.
