FIG. 21B is a back view of the upper right corner portion from the back side of the decorative frame 7. In such a case, when the base plate 52 is attached to the component integrated lighting device 650 of the corner lamp unit 50 attached to the right opening hole 520 when the decorative frame 7 is viewed from the back side, the second notch of the fixing holder 53 is provided. The base plate 52 is fixed to the fixing holder 53 so that the positioning protrusion 585 of the base plate 52 shown in FIGS.
On the other hand, FIG. 21A is a rear view of the upper left corner from the back side of the decorative frame 7. In this case, in the case of the component-integrated lighting device 650 that is attached to the left opening 520 when the decorative frame 7 is viewed from the back side, it is the same as the fixing holder 53 of the component-integrated lighting device 650 shown in FIG. The left diffuser lens 54 and the reflecting member 55 as viewed from the back side are attached to the left-side component-integrated illumination device 650. The fixed holder 53 in FIG. 21A is the same as the fixed holder 53 of the component integrated lighting device 650 shown in FIG. The positioning protrusion 585 of the left-side base plate 52 (FIG. 22A) symmetrical to the base plate 52 of FIG. 22B is fitted.

As a result, in the present embodiment, only the fixing holder 53 is used in common for both the left side and the right side, and other members such as the diffusion lens 54, the reflection member 55, and the base plate 52 are used. The part of the opening hole 520 of the decorative frame 7 has different shapes for the left side and the right side. The base plate 52 is formed by adjusting the inclination angle of the diffuser lens 54, the reflection member 55, etc. to be inclined toward the player, with only the base plate 52 being a member having a different shape for both the left side member and the right side member. Other members other than the diffuser lens 54, the reflecting member 55, the fixed holder 53, and the like may be formed as a common member.

It should be noted that the diffuser lens 54, the reflecting member 55, and the base plate 52 are preliminarily provided with a predetermined position on the surface (for example, the I-shaped projecting piece 534) such that the left and right lenses can be easily distinguished visually. Formed on the front side).
(Diffusion of light by diffusion lens 54, reflection member 55, and surrounding reflection member 600)
A description will be given using a corner lamp unit 50 arranged at the upper right side when the gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front.
As shown in FIG. 29, the internal light source 511 is located inside the reflecting member 55. Thereby, light from the internal light source 511 mainly passes through the inside of the cylindrical reflection member 55 (optical path A in FIG. 29) or is reflected by the reflection member 55 (optical path B in FIG. 29). Is irradiated.

On the other hand, the ambient light source 512 is located outside the reflection member 55 and is located inside the long circumference reflection part 601 and the middle circumference reflection part 602 of the circumference reflection member 600. A diffuser lens 54 is disposed on the front side of the ambient light source 512 between the long periphery reflection unit 601 and the middle periphery reflection unit 602. To be precise, when the corner lamp unit 50 is viewed from the player side, the front lens portion 541 of the diffusing lens 54 is closed so as to block the space (opening) formed between the long periphery reflection portion 601 and the middle periphery reflection portion 602 Is provided.
Thereby, the light from the ambient light source 512 is diffused mainly while passing between or being reflected between the outer surface of the reflecting member 55 and the inner surface of the surrounding reflecting member 600, as indicated by optical paths C to K in FIG. It passes through the lens 54 and diffuses around.

More specifically, a part of the light from the ambient light source 512 is mainly reflected on the outer surface of the reflecting member 55 as shown in the optical path E of FIG. 29 or as shown in the optical path F of FIG. Then, the light is irradiated in the player direction while passing between the outer surface of the reflecting member 55 and the surrounding reflecting member 600 or while being reflected by the surrounding reflecting member 600 as shown in the optical path G of FIG.
Further, the other part of the light from the ambient light source 512 is mainly reflected after being reflected from the outer surface of the reflecting member 55 as shown in the optical path H of FIG. 29 or as shown in the optical path I of FIG. The light is reflected by the surrounding reflection unit 601 and irradiated outside the gaming machine 1 except for the player direction.
Further, another part of the light from the ambient light source 512 is mainly reflected on the end of the middle ambient reflector 602 as shown in the optical path J of FIG. 29 or as shown in the optical path K of FIG. In addition, the light is reflected by the reflecting member 55 without being reflected by the inner surface of the mid-periphery reflecting portion 602, and is irradiated to the outside of the gaming machine 1 excluding the player direction. Further, as shown in the optical path C and the optical path D of FIG. 29, when the light passes through the diffusion lens 54, the traveling direction of the light is refracted and irradiated to the outside of the gaming machine 1 excluding the player direction.

  Thereby, the light from the internal light source 511 shown in the optical paths A and B of FIG. 29 and a part of the light from the ambient light source 512 as shown in the optical paths E, F, and G of FIG. can do. Then, another part of the light from the ambient light source 512 as shown in the optical paths C, D, H, I, J, and K in FIG. 29 is sent to a player other than the player of the gaming machine 1 in the outer direction of the player direction. The surrounding people can also be irradiated. As a result, the player who plays a game on the gaming machine 1 adjacent to the gaming machine 1 or the person passing through the passage can be irradiated with the light from the ambient light source 512. The above-described optical path in FIG. 29 is a part of the light path, and various optical paths are conceivable depending on the unevenness of the surfaces of the reflecting member 55 and the surrounding reflecting member 600, the refraction and reflection of the diffusion lens 54, and the like. However, the configuration of the reflecting member 55, the diffusing lens 54, and the surrounding reflecting member 600 mainly describes light passing therethrough.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24B, when the reflecting member 55 is assembled and attached, the LED element 41A of the ambient light source 512 and each recessed portion around the reflecting member 55 are formed to correspond to each other. ing. For this reason, the light of each LED element 41A of the ambient light source 512 can be irradiated radially at a predetermined angle with respect to the circumferential direction, and an effective light emission mode can be generated.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24B, the position of the LED element 41A of the internal light source 511 is arranged so as to be approximately the center position of each convex portion on the inward side of the reflecting member 55. Thereby, when the four LED elements 41A of the internal light source 511 are turned on, the light can be irradiated into the reflecting member 55 as reflected light similarly dispersed in the reflecting member 55.

(Light irradiation direction due to the inclination of the light passage hole 590)
As shown in FIG. 29, the LED substrate 51 and the base plate 52 are combined so as to be parallel to each other. The LED element 41A as the light source 510 is arranged to irradiate light toward the front direction of the front door 3 so as to irradiate the LED substrate 51 with light toward the front direction of the base plate 52. The base plate 52 is provided with light passage holes 590 penetrating the front and back in order to allow light to pass therethrough at positions corresponding to the LED elements 41A provided on the LED substrate 51. As shown in FIG. 25, the light passage hole 590 has an inner peripheral surface in the player direction out of the inner peripheral surface inclined by a predetermined angle from the front direction of the base plate 52, and toward the player direction. It is expanding. Thereby, the light from the LED element 41A of the LED board 51 arranged to irradiate light toward the front direction of the base plate 52 is guided toward the player direction, not the front direction of the base plate 52. can do.

In the present embodiment, among the inner peripheral surfaces of the light passage hole 590, only the inner peripheral surface closer to the player direction is expanded toward the player direction, and the inner periphery farther from the player direction. The surface is formed at right angles to the surface of the base plate 52, but may be formed so that all inner peripheral surfaces of the light passage hole 590 are inclined toward the player. That is, the inner peripheral surface of the light passage hole 590 may be formed so that the central axis of the light passage hole 590 is directed toward the player.
In the case of both the light passage hole 590 expanded in the player direction only on the inner peripheral surface in the player direction and the light passage hole 590 inclined in the player direction on the entire inner peripheral surface, the base plate 52 A rear edge 594 formed of a substantially circular (elliptical) edge formed on the back side of the provided light passage hole 590 (FIGS. 24 and 25), and a substantially circle formed on the front side of the light passage hole 590 Both of the front end edges 595 (FIGS. 24 and 25) composed of edges of the shape (elliptical shape) are elliptical when viewed from the front, but are sitting in front of the gaming machine 1 to play a game. It is formed in a special shape that looks circular when viewed from the player's line of sight. Of course, only one of the front edge 595 and the rear edge 594 may be formed to look circular when viewed from such a player, and from the LED element 41A to the circular edge. The distance can be made large so that it does not have such a special shape, but can have a circular or ordinary elliptical shape when viewed from the front.

Furthermore, the front surface and the rear surface have a cylindrical shape, and include a reflection member 55 that fixes the rear surface to the base plate 52. The reflection member 55 has a predetermined opening with respect to a direction perpendicular to the base plate 52. It faces in a direction inclined by an angle. Specifically, the cylindrical central axis of the reflecting member 55 is inclined so as to be directed toward the player, and the inclination angle is an inclination that the inner peripheral surface of the light passing hole 590 on the player side expands. It is formed to be substantially the same as the angle. As a result, the amount of light that has passed through the light passage hole 590 can be directly increased toward the player through the inside of the reflecting member 55 without being interrupted.
In the present embodiment, the inclined structure of the reflecting member 55 is formed such that an inclined bottom surface 547 is formed so that the opening on the back side of the reflecting member 55 is inclined with respect to the central axis of the reflecting member 55. Although the light from the LED element 41A can be guided directly to the player direction by bringing 547 into contact with the front surface of the base plate 52, the reflecting member 55 is not particularly limited thereto. An inclined surface may be formed such that the opening on the front side of the reflecting member 55 is inclined with respect to the cylindrical central axis of the reflecting member 55. In that case, the central axis of the cylindrical shape of the reflection member 55 intersects the surface of the base plate 52 in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the base plate 52, and the cylindrical reflection portion 545 is also erected at a right angle to the base plate 52. However, since the opening on the front side is a cut surface that faces the player direction, the light from the LED element 41A can be irradiated in the player direction. Further, in the present embodiment, an inner peripheral surface that is inclined only in the light passage hole 590 of the base plate 52 is provided, and the inner peripheral surface of the light source opening hole 564 of the fixed holder 53 is increased in diameter. Although not inclined, when the diameters of both holes are substantially the same or when the light source opening hole 564 is smaller, the light source opening hole 564 of the fixing holder 53 is not limited to this. Similarly to the light passage hole 590, it is preferable to incline all or part of the inner peripheral surface or a part close to the player side of the inner peripheral surface toward the player.

Further, in the surrounding reflection member 600, the shape of the long / medium ambient reflection portion 604 formed by the long periphery reflection portion 601 and the middle periphery reflection portion 602 is also substantially cylindrical like the reflection member 55. However, similarly to the case of the reflection member 55 described above, the shape of the long and medium peripheral reflection portion 604 is also formed so that the bottom surface side is an inclined surface and the central axis of the cylindrical shape is directed toward the player. Alternatively, the front surface side may be formed with an inclined opening surface facing the player side, and the center axis of the cylindrical shape may be perpendicular to the surface of the base plate 52.
Here, the short perimeter reflecting portion 603 uses the peripheral frame of the front door 3 and forms a plated surface there. For this reason, compared with the case where the material which comprises the reflection member 55 is provided separately and a plating surface is formed there, the sharing of parts can be achieved, the effective use of space, the number of parts can be reduced. Reduction can be achieved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the surrounding reflection member 600 is formed in advance so as to be integrated with the front door 3 of the front door 3 except for the lighting device 500. Thereby, the illumination device such as the diffusion lens 54 to be attached later can be made compact. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reflective member 55 and the diffusing lens 5 are not provided on the front door 3 in advance as a peripheral reflective member 600 that is located outside the reflective member 55 and reflects light. It may be provided by being incorporated in a lighting device such as the above. In such a case, the lighting device integrated with the surrounding reflecting member 600 is attached to the front side of the front door 3. Thus, by attaching the lighting device 500 in which the surrounding reflecting member 600 is also integrated, the surrounding reflecting member 600 can be attached to the front door 3 together.

(Oval arrangement of LED element 41A)
The internal light source 511 and the ambient light source 512 are arranged in four and sixteen by the LED elements 41A of the LED substrate 51, respectively. The set of the LED elements 41A of the internal light source 511 or the ambient light source 512 is shown in FIG. Each LED element 41A is arranged on the LED substrate 51 so as to have an elliptical shape when viewed from the player direction as shown (FIG. 23). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 24A, the arrangement of the internal light source 511 and the ambient light source 512 that appear to be elliptical when viewed from the front of the base plate 52 is also the gaming machine 1 as shown in FIG. When viewed from the player sitting in front of the player, when the light from the LED element 41A is seen, the light arranged in a clean circular shape can be seen.

(Optical path from the outer peripheral independent lens 57)
Light from the LED element 41 </ b> A as the corner light source 513 is irradiated by refraction or reflection by the outer peripheral independent lens 57 and reflection by the middle-periphery reflection part 602 and the short-periphery reflection part 603 of the surrounding reflection member 600.
Specifically, the light from the player irradiating unit 631 mainly travels in the direction of the player directly as shown in the optical path B in FIG. 31, or as shown in the optical path G in FIG. In addition, the process proceeds in a direction other than the player direction without being reflected by the mid-periphery reflecting portion 602 or the like.
Further, the light from the ambient irradiation unit 641 mainly travels in a direction other than the player without being reflected by the short ambient reflection unit 603 as shown in the optical path D of FIG. 31, or enters the optical path F of FIG. As shown, a part of the light is reflected by the short surrounding reflection portion 603 and proceeds in the player direction.

Further, the light from the tip irradiating unit 621 mainly travels in a direction other than the player without being reflected by the short ambient reflecting unit 603, as shown in the optical path C of FIG.
Thereby, the light from one place from the corner light source 513 is mainly refracted by the outer peripheral portion independent lens 57 and reflected by the surrounding reflection member 600 in both the player direction and the direction other than the player direction. And can be irradiated separately.
Further, the deep groove 622 of the tip 620 and the shallow groove 623 of the ambient irradiation part 641 have different groove depths, and the deep groove 622 is formed to have a deeper groove depth than the shallow groove 623. Has been. Thereby, the angle at which light is reflected and refracted can be varied, and the traveling angle of light can be effectively changed. As a result, the angle of reflection and refraction of the light entering each part can be varied, and the light from the tip 620 is directed toward the player and the light from the ambient irradiation unit 641 is transmitted to the player. Irradiation can be performed more effectively in directions other than the direction.

(effect)
According to the present embodiment, the light from the internal light source 511 can be delivered to the player through the inside of the cylinder of the reflecting member 55 or while being reflected inside the cylinder. Then, the light from the ambient light source 512 can be diffused to the surroundings through the diffusion lens 54 while passing between or being reflected between the outer surface of the reflecting member 55 and the inner surface of the surrounding reflecting member 600.
Furthermore, the light from the internal light source 511 is irradiated in the direction of the player while passing through or reflecting in the cylinder of the reflecting member 55. In addition, a part of the light from the ambient light source 512 is reflected on the outer surface of the reflecting member 55, or is irradiated toward the player while passing through or being reflected between the outer surface of the reflecting member 55 and the surrounding reflecting member 600. The Further, another part of the light from the ambient light source 512 is reflected from the outer surface of the reflecting member 55 or directly reflected by the long-periphery reflector 601 and irradiated in the outer direction of the player direction. Further, another part of the light from the ambient light source 512 is reflected by the reflection member 55 after being reflected by the middle ambient reflector 602, and is irradiated in the outer direction of the player direction.

  Thereby, the player can irradiate the player with light from the internal light source 511 and a part of the light from the ambient light source 512, and the other part of the light from the ambient light source 512 is outside the player direction. The surrounding people other than the player of the gaming machine 1 in the direction can be irradiated with the light from the ambient light source 512. As a result, the player who plays a game on the gaming machine 1 adjacent to the gaming machine 1 or the person passing through the passage can be irradiated with the light from the ambient light source 512. As a result, light can be efficiently diffused over a wide area in a limited space and with a small number of parts.
