Description

本発明は、移動部材を備えた遊技機に関する。   The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with a moving member.

下記特許文献１には、遊技者が操作可能な移動部材である演出ボタンを備えた遊技機が記載されている。下記特許文献１における演出ボタンは、その周辺部分から大きく上方に突出することが可能（特許文献１の図５等参照）であり、かかる状態となったときには操作時のボタンの移動量（ストローク）が大きくなる。   Patent Document 1 listed below describes a gaming machine including an effect button that is a moving member that can be operated by a player. The effect button in the following Patent Document 1 can protrude greatly upward from the peripheral portion thereof (see FIG. 5 of Patent Document 1, etc.), and when this occurs, the amount of movement (stroke) of the button at the time of operation Becomes larger.

特開２０１３−１１６１６９号公報JP2013-116169A

このような移動部材を備えた遊技機において、移動部材の断面形状と移動部材が出没する開口の形状は略同じに設定される。移動部材が断面円形であれば、開口はそれと略同じ大きさの円形に設定される。移動部材の断面形状と開口の形状が略同じでなければ、移動部材と開口周縁の隙間から塵等が内部に進入したり、遊技者の手等が移動部材と開口周縁との間に挟まってしまったりする問題が生じうる。したがって、移動部材は、上記特許文献１に記載される断面円形のような単純な形状とする場合が多く、装飾性を高めることが困難であった。   In a gaming machine provided with such a moving member, the cross-sectional shape of the moving member and the shape of the opening where the moving member appears and disappears are set to be substantially the same. If the moving member has a circular cross section, the opening is set to a circle having the same size. If the cross-sectional shape of the moving member and the shape of the opening are not substantially the same, dust or the like enters the inside through the gap between the moving member and the opening periphery, or a player's hand is sandwiched between the moving member and the opening periphery. It can cause problems. Therefore, in many cases, the moving member has a simple shape such as a circular cross section described in Patent Document 1, and it has been difficult to improve the decorativeness.

本発明が解決しようとする課題は、開口を通過する移動部材の装飾性を高めることが可能な遊技機を提供することにある。   The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of enhancing the decorativeness of a moving member passing through an opening.

本発明にかかる遊技機は、開口が形成された固定部材と、遊技者の操作によって前記開口の一方側で露出する部分の大きさが変化する移動部材と、を備えることを特徴とする。   A gaming machine according to the present invention includes a fixing member having an opening formed therein, and a moving member in which a size of a portion exposed on one side of the opening is changed by a player's operation.

前記固定部材および前記移動部材は、遊技機本体側に対して回動自在に支持された前面枠に設けられているとよい。   The fixed member and the moving member may be provided on a front frame that is rotatably supported with respect to the gaming machine main body side.

前記固定部材および前記移動部材は、前記前面枠が遊技機本体側に対して回動自在に支持された側の反対側に設けられているとよい。   The fixing member and the moving member may be provided on the opposite side of the side on which the front frame is rotatably supported with respect to the gaming machine main body side.

前記移動部材は、原位置に位置するとき、終端位置に位置するときのいずれの状態においても、少なくとも一部が前記開口の一方側で露出するとよい。   It is preferable that at least a part of the moving member is exposed on one side of the opening when the moving member is located at the original position or the terminal position.

前記移動部材は、前記開口を通過可能な第一の部分と、前記開口を通過不可能な第二の部分と、を有するとよい。   The moving member may include a first portion that can pass through the opening and a second portion that cannot pass through the opening.

前記移動部材は、前記第二の部分よりも細い第三の部分を有し、前記第一の部分と前記第三の部分との間に前記第二の部分が位置するとよい。   The moving member may have a third portion that is thinner than the second portion, and the second portion may be located between the first portion and the third portion.

前記第三の部分は、前記第一の部分よりも細いとよい。   The third part may be thinner than the first part.

前記移動部材が原位置から終端位置に向かう移動方向に沿って、前記第三の部分、前記第二の部分、前記第一の部分が順に並ぶように設けられているとよい。   The moving member may be provided so that the third portion, the second portion, and the first portion are arranged in order along a moving direction from the original position toward the terminal position.

本発明にかかる遊技機が有する移動部材は、遊技者の操作によって露出する部分の大きさが変化するという従来にないものである。   The moving member of the gaming machine according to the present invention is unprecedented in that the size of the exposed portion is changed by the player's operation.

以下、本発明にかかる実施形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。まず、遊技機１の全体構成について簡単に説明する。図１に示されるように、遊技機１は、所定の奥行きを有する額縁形状の機枠９０を備える。この機枠９０には前面枠９１が取り付けられている。前面枠９１は、その左側縁が機枠９０に回動自在に支持され、前側に開閉可能である。また、前面枠９１には、ガラス枠９２が取り付けられている。ガラス枠９２は、その左側縁が前面枠９１に回動自在に支持され、前側に開閉可能である。   Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described. As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming machine 1 includes a frame-shaped machine frame 90 having a predetermined depth. A front frame 91 is attached to the machine frame 90. The left side edge of the front frame 91 is rotatably supported by the machine frame 90 and can be opened and closed on the front side. A glass frame 92 is attached to the front frame 91. The left edge of the glass frame 92 is rotatably supported by the front frame 91 and can be opened and closed on the front side.

本実施形態にかかる遊技機１には、前面枠９１の右側に遊技者が操作可能な演出ユニット１ｕが取り付けられている。かかる演出ユニット１ｕの詳細については後述する。   In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, an effect unit 1u that can be operated by a player is attached to the right side of the front frame 91. Details of the effect unit 1u will be described later.

ガラス枠９２の中央の開口部にはガラス板またはプラスチック板等の透明な板が設けられており、遊技者はこの透明な板を通して前側から遊技盤９３を視認できる。また、ガラス枠９２の下部には、払い出された遊技球を発射装置に送るまで貯めておく上皿ユニット９４が設けられている。上皿ユニット９４には、貯留されている遊技球を下皿ユニット９５に流下させる上皿スイッチや、貸し出し可能な貸し球を払い出す球貸しスイッチ等が設けられている。   A transparent plate such as a glass plate or a plastic plate is provided in the central opening of the glass frame 92, and the player can visually recognize the game board 93 from the front side through the transparent plate. In addition, an upper plate unit 94 is provided below the glass frame 92 for storing the paid-out game balls until they are sent to the launching device. The upper plate unit 94 is provided with an upper plate switch for causing the stored game balls to flow down to the lower plate unit 95, a ball lending switch for paying out lending balls that can be lent.

前面枠９１の下部には、払い出された遊技球が上皿ユニット９４に入りきらない場合等に遊技球を貯めることができる下皿ユニット９５や、遊技球を発射操作するためのタッチスイッチを備える発射ハンドル９６等が設けられている。   At the bottom of the front frame 91, there is a lower plate unit 95 that can store game balls when the paid-out game balls cannot enter the upper plate unit 94, and a touch switch for launching the game balls. A firing handle 96 provided is provided.

遊技盤９３は、ほぼ正方形の合板により成形されており、前面枠９１に着脱可能に取り付けられている。この遊技盤９３には、発射装置から発射された遊技球をガイドする金属製の薄板からなる帯状のガイドレール９３１が略円弧形状となるように設けられており、このガイドレール９３１によって遊技領域の外郭の一部が形成されている。   The game board 93 is formed of a substantially square plywood and is detachably attached to the front frame 91. This game board 93 is provided with a strip-shaped guide rail 931 made of a thin metal plate for guiding a game ball launched from the launching device so as to have a substantially arc shape. A part of the outer shell is formed.

遊技盤９３の遊技領域には、始動入賞口９８１、大入賞口９８２などが設けられている。遊技盤９３には開口が形成されており、当該開口を通じて視認可能な表示装置９７が設けられている。当該表示装置９７は、例えば液晶表示装置が用いられ、表示装置９７の表示画面（表示部）において当否判定結果が大当たりか否かを示す特別図柄等が表示される。   In the game area of the game board 93, a start winning port 981, a big winning port 982, and the like are provided. An opening is formed in the game board 93, and a display device 97 that is visible through the opening is provided. As the display device 97, for example, a liquid crystal display device is used, and a special symbol or the like indicating whether the determination result is a big hit is displayed on the display screen (display unit) of the display device 97.

また、遊技盤９３の遊技領域には、流下する遊技球が衝突することにより遊技球の流下態様に変化を与える障害物としての遊技釘が複数設けられている。遊技領域を流下する遊技球は、遊技釘に衝突したときの条件に応じて様々な態様に変化する。遊技球が上記各種入賞口に入賞したときには所定数の賞球が払い出される。大当たりの抽選は、遊技球が始動入賞口９８１に入賞したときに行う。   Further, the game area of the game board 93 is provided with a plurality of game nails as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls when the game balls flowing down collide. The game ball flowing down the game area changes into various modes depending on the condition when it collides with the game nail. A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out when a game ball wins the above-mentioned various prize winning openings. The jackpot lottery is performed when the game ball wins the start winning opening 981.

以下、前面枠９１に取り付けられた演出ユニット１ｕの構成について説明する。なお、以下の説明において単に上下方向というときは、詳細を後述する移動部材２０の移動方向に沿う方向（重力方向上側を上とする）をいうものとする。本実施形態における移動部材２０は、その中心軸が重力方向に対して若干傾斜するように設けられており、当該傾斜した方向に沿って移動する。移動部材２０が最も上方に位置するときを原位置、最も下方に位置するときを終端位置と称する。   Hereinafter, the configuration of the effect unit 1u attached to the front frame 91 will be described. In the following description, when simply referred to as the vertical direction, the direction along the moving direction of the moving member 20 described later in detail (the upper side in the direction of gravity is defined as the upper side) is assumed. The moving member 20 in the present embodiment is provided such that the central axis thereof is slightly inclined with respect to the direction of gravity, and moves along the inclined direction. The time when the moving member 20 is located at the uppermost position is called the original position, and the time when the moving member 20 is located at the lowermost position is called the end position.

図１〜図４等に示す演出ユニット１ｕは、固定部材１０および移動部材２０を有する。固定部材１０は、前面枠９１に固定された部材であり、枠の右側を装飾する部材である。固定部材１０は、動かないように遊技機１の本体側に固定された部材であればどのようなものであってもよい。固定部材１０には開口１１が形成されている。当該開口１１より下方には固定部材１０の内側の空間が存在し、開口１１より上方には固定部材１０の外側の空間が存在する。つまり、開口１１より上方に位置する部分は、固定部材１０に覆われずに露出する。   The effect unit 1u shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and the like has a fixed member 10 and a moving member 20. The fixing member 10 is a member fixed to the front frame 91 and is a member that decorates the right side of the frame. The fixing member 10 may be any member as long as it is a member fixed to the main body side of the gaming machine 1 so as not to move. An opening 11 is formed in the fixing member 10. A space inside the fixing member 10 exists below the opening 11, and a space outside the fixing member 10 exists above the opening 11. That is, the portion located above the opening 11 is exposed without being covered by the fixing member 10.

移動部材２０は、遊技者によって操作される部材である。本実施形態では、前面枠９１の右側に配置されているが、遊技者が触れることのできる場所に配置されていれば、その位置はどのようなものであってもよい。本実施形態における移動部材２０は、「剣」を象った部材である。   The moving member 20 is a member operated by the player. In the present embodiment, it is arranged on the right side of the front frame 91, but any position may be used as long as it is arranged in a place where the player can touch. The moving member 20 in the present embodiment is a member that looks like a “sword”.

移動部材２０は、第一装飾部２１、第二装飾部２２（本発明における装飾部に相当する）および被覆部２３を有する。第一装飾部２１は、剣の「持ち手」および「鍔」を象った部分である。第二装飾部２２（図５等参照）は、第一装飾部２１の下方に設けられた部分であって、剣の「刃」を象った部分である。このように移動部材２０は、第一装飾部２１および第二装飾部２２によって、遊技者が「剣」であると認識できる装飾態様を構築する。後述するように、移動部材２０が移動する際、第二装飾部２２が固定部材１０に形成された開口１１を通過する。   The moving member 20 includes a first decorative part 21, a second decorative part 22 (corresponding to the decorative part in the present invention), and a covering part 23. The first decoration portion 21 is a portion that is shaped like a “handle” or “sword” of a sword. The second decorative portion 22 (see FIG. 5 and the like) is a portion provided below the first decorative portion 21 and is a portion imitating a “blade” of a sword. In this way, the moving member 20 constructs a decoration mode in which the player can recognize that it is a “sword” by the first decoration part 21 and the second decoration part 22. As will be described later, when the moving member 20 moves, the second decorative portion 22 passes through the opening 11 formed in the fixing member 10.

被覆部２３は、第二装飾部２２の外側に設けられた部分である。本実施形態における被覆部２３は、上下方向に細長い「刃」の部分である第二装飾部２２の周囲を覆うように設けられている。被覆部２３は、その内側に位置する第二装飾部２２が視認可能となるような材料で形成されている。本実施形態における被覆部２３は、無色透明な合成樹脂材料によって形成されている。したがって、被覆部２３の内側に位置する第二装飾部２２は、そのままの態様で視認される。つまり、被覆部２３を通じて第二装飾部２２（「刃」）がそのまま視認されるため、移動部材２０全体が「剣」を象ったものとして認識される。   The covering portion 23 is a portion provided outside the second decorative portion 22. The covering portion 23 in the present embodiment is provided so as to cover the periphery of the second decorative portion 22 that is a “blade” portion that is elongated in the vertical direction. The covering portion 23 is formed of a material that allows the second decorative portion 22 located inside thereof to be visually recognized. The covering portion 23 in the present embodiment is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material. Therefore, the 2nd decoration part 22 located inside the coating | coated part 23 is visually recognized by the aspect as it is. That is, since the second decorative portion 22 (“blade”) is visually recognized as it is through the covering portion 23, the entire moving member 20 is recognized as an image of a “sword”.

このような構成を有する移動部材２０は、遊技機１の本体側または固定部材１０に対しスライド自在に支持されている。そのスライド機構はどのようなものであってもよいが、本実施形態における移動部材２０のスライド機構は図６に示す通りである。本実施形態における移動部材２０には、被誘導部材３０が固定されている。被誘導部材３０は、誘導部材４０に固定された誘導軸４１にスライド自在に支持されている。誘導部材４０は、遊技機１の本体側に固定された部材である。つまり、移動部材２０は、被誘導部材３０を介して誘導軸４１の軸線方向に沿ってスライドする。移動部材２０および被誘導部材３０の少なくともいずれか一方には、移動部材２０を原位置に向けて付勢する付勢部材（図示せず）の付勢力が作用している。したがって、移動部材２０に外力が作用していないときには、当該移動部材２０は原位置に位置する。   The moving member 20 having such a configuration is slidably supported with respect to the main body side of the gaming machine 1 or the fixed member 10. Any slide mechanism may be used, but the slide mechanism of the moving member 20 in the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. The guided member 30 is fixed to the moving member 20 in the present embodiment. The guided member 30 is slidably supported on a guiding shaft 41 fixed to the guiding member 40. The guide member 40 is a member fixed to the main body side of the gaming machine 1. That is, the moving member 20 slides along the axial direction of the guide shaft 41 via the guided member 30. A biasing force of a biasing member (not shown) that biases the moving member 20 toward the original position acts on at least one of the moving member 20 and the guided member 30. Therefore, when no external force is applied to the moving member 20, the moving member 20 is located at the original position.

誘導部材４０には、被誘導部材３０が最も下方に位置したときにＯＮとなるスイッチ（図示せず）が設けられている。遊技者が上記付勢部材の付勢力に抗して移動部材２０を下方に向けて移動させ、移動部材２０が最も下方の終端位置に位置したとき、当該スイッチがＯＮになる。このように、スイッチがＯＮになることをもって、遊技者により移動部材２０が操作されたことが検出される。なお、移動部材２０が操作されたこと（終端位置に到達したこと）の検出方法は、これ以外の方法を採用してもよい。移動部材２０は、各種演出に利用される。その利用方法は公知の遊技機に搭載される演出ボタン（例えば上記特許文献１に記載される演出ボタン）等と同様の利用方法が考えられるから詳細な説明は省略する。移動部材２０を利用した演出としては、移動部材２０が操作されたときに表示装置９７に所定の映像が表示された場合には大当たりとなり、それとは異なる映像が表示された場合には外れとなる演出が例示できる。   The guide member 40 is provided with a switch (not shown) that is turned ON when the guided member 30 is positioned at the lowest position. When the player moves the moving member 20 downward against the urging force of the urging member and the moving member 20 is positioned at the lowest end position, the switch is turned on. Thus, when the switch is turned on, it is detected that the moving member 20 has been operated by the player. In addition, you may employ | adopt methods other than this as the detection method of the movement member 20 having been operated (arriving at the terminal position). The moving member 20 is used for various effects. The usage method may be the same usage method as an effect button (for example, the effect button described in Patent Document 1) mounted on a known gaming machine, and detailed description thereof is omitted. The effect using the moving member 20 is a big hit when a predetermined image is displayed on the display device 97 when the moving member 20 is operated, and is lost when a different image is displayed. Production can be exemplified.

このように遊技者によって操作される移動部材２０は、固定部材１０に形成された開口１１の内側を通過する。移動部材２０が原位置から終端位置に移動するにつれて、移動部材２０が固定部材１０に覆われる領域が大きくなっていく。つまり、移動部材２０が原位置に位置するときには、終端位置に位置するときよりも開口１１の上側で露出する部分が相対的に大きくなる（図３および図４等参照）。   Thus, the moving member 20 operated by the player passes through the inside of the opening 11 formed in the fixed member 10. As the moving member 20 moves from the original position to the terminal position, the area where the moving member 20 is covered by the fixed member 10 increases. That is, when the moving member 20 is located at the original position, the portion exposed above the opening 11 is relatively larger than when the moving member 20 is located at the terminal position (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

移動部材２０が原位置から終端位置まで（終端位置から原位置まで）移動する際、移動部材２０の第二装飾部２２の少なくとも一部が開口１１の内側を通過する。第二装飾部２２の外側には被覆部２３が設けられているため、当該被覆部２３が開口１１の内側を通過することとなる。   When the moving member 20 moves from the original position to the terminal position (from the terminal position to the original position), at least a part of the second decorative portion 22 of the moving member 20 passes through the inside of the opening 11. Since the covering portion 23 is provided outside the second decorative portion 22, the covering portion 23 passes through the inside of the opening 11.

被覆部２３は、中心軸が移動部材２０の移動方向に沿う筒形状を有する。本実施形態における移動部材２０の移動方向に略直交する平面で切断した被覆部２３の断面形状は略楕円形である（図７等参照）。移動部材２０を移動させたときに被覆部２３の開口１１を通過する部分は、移動部材２０の移動方向に略直交する平面で切断した断面の外縁形状が、当該移動部材２０の移動方向における全体に亘って略同一である。つまり、被覆部２３における開口１１を通過する部分の断面は、移動部材２０の移動方向（上下方向）におけるどの位置で切断したとしても、外縁形状が略同一となるように設定されている。換言すれば、被覆部２３の開口１１を通過する部分は、移動部材２０の移動方向において太さが略一定であるということである。   The covering portion 23 has a cylindrical shape whose central axis is along the moving direction of the moving member 20. In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the covering portion 23 cut along a plane substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving member 20 is substantially elliptical (see FIG. 7 and the like). When the moving member 20 is moved, the portion that passes through the opening 11 of the covering portion 23 has an outer edge shape of a cross-section cut along a plane substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving member 20 as a whole in the moving direction of the moving member 20. It is substantially the same throughout. That is, the cross section of the portion of the covering portion 23 that passes through the opening 11 is set so that the outer edge shape is substantially the same regardless of where the moving member 20 is cut in the moving direction (vertical direction). In other words, the portion of the covering portion 23 that passes through the opening 11 has a substantially constant thickness in the moving direction of the moving member 20.

また、移動部材２０を移動させたときに被覆部２３の開口１１を通過する部分（すなわち移動部材２０における開口１１を通過する部分）は、移動部材２０の移動方向に略直交する平面で切断した断面の外縁形状が、開口１１の内周縁の形状（移動部材２０の移動方向に沿って見た開口１１の内周縁の形状）と略同一となるように設定されている（図７等参照）。つまり、本実施形態における開口１１の内周縁の形状は略楕円形である。厳密には、被覆部２３は開口１１を通過することになるから、上記断面の外縁形状は開口１１の内周縁の形状よりわずかに小さくなるように設定されている。したがって、開口１１の内周縁と被覆部２３の外面の間には、隙間がほとんど存在しない。   Further, when the moving member 20 is moved, a portion that passes through the opening 11 of the covering portion 23 (that is, a portion that passes through the opening 11 in the moving member 20) is cut along a plane that is substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving member 20. The outer edge shape of the cross section is set to be substantially the same as the shape of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 11 (the shape of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 11 viewed along the moving direction of the moving member 20) (see FIG. 7 and the like). . That is, the shape of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 11 in the present embodiment is substantially elliptical. Strictly speaking, since the covering portion 23 passes through the opening 11, the outer edge shape of the cross section is set to be slightly smaller than the shape of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 11. Therefore, there is almost no gap between the inner peripheral edge of the opening 11 and the outer surface of the covering portion 23.

一方、被覆部２３の内側に位置する第二装飾部２２は、移動部材２０の移動方向に略直交する平面で切断した断面の外縁形状が、当該移動部材２０の移動方向において変化する。つまり、移動部材２０の移動方向において太さが一定でない（相対的に太い部分と細い部分を有する）ということである。本実施形態における第二装飾部２２は、移動部材２０の移動方向に略直交する平面で切断した断面の外縁形状が、移動部材２０が原位置に位置する状態において開口１１から離れるにつれて大きくなる部分２２２を有する。具体的には、剣の「刃」を模した形状である第二装飾部２２における上方寄りに突出した部分（以下突出部２２１と称する）を有する。当該突出部２２１の先端を通る平面で切断した断面の外縁形状が最も大きくなる（図５および図７等参照）。   On the other hand, the outer edge shape of the cross section cut | disconnected by the plane substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving member 20 changes the 2nd decoration part 22 located inside the coating | coated part 23 in the moving direction of the said moving member 20. FIG. That is, the thickness is not constant in the moving direction of the moving member 20 (having a relatively thick part and a thin part). The second decorative portion 22 in the present embodiment is a portion in which the outer edge shape of a cross section cut by a plane substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving member 20 increases as the moving member 20 moves away from the opening 11 in a state where the moving member 20 is located at the original position. 222. Specifically, the second decorative portion 22 having a shape imitating a “blade” of a sword has a portion protruding upward (hereinafter referred to as a protruding portion 221). The outer edge shape of the cross section cut along the plane passing through the tip of the protrusion 221 is the largest (see FIGS. 5 and 7).

このように、第二装飾部２２は、所定の形態（本実施形態では「剣」）を形作るために構成されるものであるため、移動部材２０の移動方向に略直交する平面で切断した断面の外縁形状が、当該移動部材２０の移動方向において変化する。つまり、当該外縁形状（太さ）が変化しないようにするためには、装飾形態に制約が生じてしまう。本実施形態では、かかる第二装飾部２２の周囲を囲むように第二装飾部２２を視認可能とする被覆部２３が設けられているため、第二装飾部２２による装飾機能を担保しつつ、移動部材２０における開口１１を通過する部分の外縁形状が被覆部２３によって決まる構造としている。   Thus, since the 2nd decoration part 22 is comprised in order to shape a predetermined | prescribed form (this embodiment "sword"), the cross section cut | disconnected by the plane substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving member 20 The outer edge shape of the moving member 20 changes in the moving direction of the moving member 20. In other words, in order to prevent the outer edge shape (thickness) from changing, the decoration form is restricted. In the present embodiment, since the covering portion 23 that allows the second decorative portion 22 to be visually recognized is provided so as to surround the second decorative portion 22, the decorative function by the second decorative portion 22 is secured. The outer edge shape of the portion of the moving member 20 that passes through the opening 11 is determined by the covering portion 23.

そして、当該被覆部２３における開口１１を通過する部分は、移動部材２０の移動方向に略直交する平面で切断した断面の外縁形状が、当該移動部材２０の移動方向における全体に亘って略同一、かつ開口１１の内周縁と略同一となるように形成されているため、移動部材２０がその移動範囲におけるどの位置にあっても、被覆部２３（移動部材２０）の外面と開口１１の内縁との間の隙間は小さい。つまり、当該隙間から塵等が進入するのを防止することが可能である。また、両者の間に遊技者が手等を挟んでしまったりするのを防止することが可能である。   And the part which passes the opening 11 in the said covering part 23 is substantially the same in the outer edge shape of the cross section cut | disconnected by the plane substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving member 20 over the whole in the moving direction of the said moving member 20, In addition, since it is formed so as to be substantially the same as the inner peripheral edge of the opening 11, the outer surface of the covering portion 23 (the moving member 20) and the inner edge of the opening 11 are located at any position in the moving range of the moving member 20. The gap between is small. That is, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from entering through the gap. In addition, it is possible to prevent the player from sandwiching a hand or the like between the two.

特に、本実施形態における第二装飾部２２は、移動部材２０の移動方向に略直交する平面で切断した断面の外縁形状が、移動部材２０が原位置に位置する状態において開口１１から離れるにつれて大きくなる部分（突出部２２１）を有する。仮に、第二装飾部２２の外側に被覆部２３が設けられていないとすると、遊技者が移動部材２０を操作したとき、当該開口１１から離れるにつれて大きくなる部分（突出部２２１）と開口１１の周辺部分との間に手等が挟まれてしまうおそれがある。本実施形態では、第二装飾部２２における開口１１から離れるにつれて大きくなる部分（突出部２２１）の外側にも被覆部２３が位置するため、そのような事態の発生を防止することが可能である。   In particular, the second decorative portion 22 in the present embodiment has a larger outer edge shape in a cross section cut by a plane substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving member 20 as the moving member 20 moves away from the opening 11 in a state where the moving member 20 is located at the original position. The part (projection part 221) which becomes. Assuming that the covering portion 23 is not provided outside the second decorative portion 22, when the player operates the moving member 20, a portion (protruding portion 221) that increases as the distance from the opening 11 increases. There is a risk that a hand or the like may be caught between the peripheral portions. In the present embodiment, since the covering portion 23 is located outside the portion (protruding portion 221) that increases as the distance from the opening 11 in the second decorative portion 22 is increased, it is possible to prevent such a situation from occurring. .

以上、本発明の実施の形態について詳細に説明したが、本発明は上記実施の形態に何ら限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の改変が可能である。   Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

例えば、上記実施形態における移動部材２０は、遊技者によって操作されるもの（遊技者の力によって移動するもの）であることを説明したが、モータ等の駆動源によって移動する部材（いわゆる役物）に対しても同様の技術思想が適用可能である。ただし、移動部材２０が遊技者によって操作されるものであれば、その分移動部材２０と開口１１の周縁部分との間に遊技者が手等を挟んでしまうおそれが高まるため、上記技術思想を適用する意義が大きいといえる。   For example, the moving member 20 in the above embodiment has been described as being operated by a player (moving by the player's force), but a member (so-called accessory) that is moved by a driving source such as a motor. The same technical idea can be applied to the above. However, if the moving member 20 is operated by a player, there is an increased risk that the player will pinch the hand between the moving member 20 and the peripheral portion of the opening 11. It can be said that the significance of application is great.

また、上記実施形態における移動部材２０の移動方向はあくまで一例である。被覆部２３や第二装飾部２２の形状は、移動部材２０の移動方向を基準として設定される。   Moreover, the moving direction of the moving member 20 in the said embodiment is an example to the last. The shapes of the covering portion 23 and the second decorative portion 22 are set based on the moving direction of the moving member 20.

また、上記実施形態における被覆部２３は、無色透明な材料で形成されていることを説明したが、内側に位置する第二装飾部２２を視認可能とするものであれば、このような材料で形成されていなくてもよい。例えば、被覆部２３の少なくとも一部を色付きの半透明な材料で形成することにより、その内側に位置する第二装飾部２２の見え方に変化を与えるようにしてもよい。つまり、被覆部２３が移動部材２０の装飾に寄与する構成としてもよい。   Moreover, although the coating | coated part 23 in the said embodiment demonstrated that it was formed with the colorless and transparent material, if it can visually recognize the 2nd decoration part 22 located inside, it will be such a material. It may not be formed. For example, by forming at least a part of the covering portion 23 with a colored translucent material, the appearance of the second decorative portion 22 positioned inside the covering portion 23 may be changed. That is, the covering portion 23 may contribute to the decoration of the moving member 20.

また、上記実施形態における被覆部２３は、筒状の部分であり、第二装飾部２２を囲むように設けられていることを説明したが、図８に示すように、被覆部２３ａが第二装飾部２２ａの一部の外側に位置するように設けられていてもよい。つまり、移動部材２０における開口１１を通過する部分の断面の外縁形状が、被覆部のみで規定される構成ではなく、被覆部２３ａおよび第二装飾部２２ａによって規定される構成としてもよい。この場合、被覆部２３ａおよび第二装飾部２２ａによって規定される外縁形状が開口１１と略同一となるように設定すればよい。   Moreover, although the coating | coated part 23 in the said embodiment was a cylindrical part, and it was provided that the 2nd decoration part 22 was enclosed, as shown in FIG. You may provide so that it may be located in the outer side of a part of decoration part 22a. That is, the outer edge shape of the cross section of the portion of the moving member 20 that passes through the opening 11 may be configured to be defined by the covering portion 23a and the second decorative portion 22a, instead of being configured only by the covering portion. In this case, what is necessary is just to set so that the outer edge shape prescribed | regulated by the coating | coated part 23a and the 2nd decoration part 22a may become substantially the same as the opening 11.
