FIG. 3 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line III (a) -III (a) of FIG. 2 (a), and FIG. ) Shows a cross-sectional view taken along line III (b) -III (b) of FIG. The effect operation unit 200 is configured to include a main body part 210, a grip part 220, a fixing part 230, and a button unit 250. The main body 210 is a cylindrical member having an accommodation hole in which an opening 210a is formed at one end, and a grip 220 is integrally formed at one end where the opening 210a is formed, and the other end is formed at the other end. The fixed part 230 is rotatably connected. Specifically, the fixing portion 230 is formed of a bottomed cylindrical member having an opening 230a at one end and a bottom surface portion 230b at the other end, and the bottom surface portion 230b is fixed to the tray unit 100 by screws. .

  An end of the main body 210 opposite to the side on which the opening 210 a is formed is inserted into the opening 230 a of the fixed portion 230. An annular engagement groove 210b is formed on the outer periphery of the end of the main body 210, and the periphery of the opening 230a of the fixed portion 230 is engaged with the engagement groove 210b so as to be relatively rotatable. As a result, the main body 210 is coupled to the fixed portion 230 so as to be relatively rotatable in a state where movement in the axial direction is restricted (prevention of slipping).

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the grip portion 220 is configured by an annular member that is decorated to resemble the handle of an automobile. The grip portion 220 has a diameter larger than the outer periphery of the main body portion 210, and a gap is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the grip portion 220 and the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 210. The main body 210 is provided with a plurality of extending portions 212 (three in the present embodiment, see FIG. 5) extending in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface thereof. 210 and the holding part 220 become the structure which continued integrally. Therefore, when the player holds the grip portion 220 and rotates the grip portion 220 in the circumferential direction, the grip portion 220 and the main body portion 210 are integrated to form the fixed portion 230, that is, the door body 6 (the tray unit 100). Relative rotation.

  3B, the button unit 250 includes a movable device 252, a movable button 254, and a button cover 256 (cover member), and is accommodated in an accommodation hole in the main body 210. Has been. Although a detailed description is omitted, the movable device 252 includes an actuator such as a motor, and a transmission member that reciprocates in the axial direction of the main body 210 by receiving the rotational power of the actuator. It protrudes from the opening 210a of the main body 210 or is accommodated in the opening 210a.

  Specifically, the movable button 254 has a bottomed cylindrical shape with one end closed by a curved pressing surface 254a and an opening at the other end, and the transmission member of the movable device 252 is provided on the opening side. Usually, the movable button 254 is stationary at a receiving position where the pressing surface 254a is approximately flush with the opening 210a of the main body 210. When the transmission member is actuated in the axial direction of the main body 210 by receiving the power of the actuator, the movable button 254 can move to the protruding position protruding from the opening 210a of the main body 210, or from the protruding position to the storage position. Or return. As described above, the movable button 254 moves straight between the accommodation position and the protruding position by the movable device 252.

  The button cover 256 has a bottomed cylindrical shape with one end closed by a curved covering surface 256a and an opening at the other end, and covers the side surface of the movable button 254 and the pressing surface 254a. The cover surface 256a of the button cover 256 has a substantially equal curvature to the pressing surface 254a of the movable button 254, and has a relationship in which both surfaces are in surface contact. Also, between the side surface of the button cover 256 and the side surface of the movable button 254, A slight gap is formed. A protrusion 256b that is bent outward in the radial direction is formed on the edge of the button cover 256 on the opening side.

  The button cover 256 is composed of a separate member from the movable button 254 so that the pressing force generated by the player's pressing operation does not directly act on the movable button 254 and the movable device 252, and the movable button 254 accommodates the button cover 256. When operating from the position to the protruding position, the movable button 254 is pressed to move together with the movable button 254. Further, when the player presses the covering surface 256a with the movable button 254 and the button cover 256 projecting to the projecting position, the movable button 254 and the button cover 256 are integrated from the projecting position by the player's pressing force. Return to the storage position. At this time, a damper mechanism composed of a spring is provided in the fixed portion 230 so that an impact acting on the movable button 254 and the movable device 252 is absorbed by the damper mechanism to prevent damage to the rendering operation unit 200. ing.

  On the other hand, after the movable button 254 protrudes to the protruding position, when a predetermined time elapses without the player performing any operation on the effect operation unit 200, the movable device 252 returns the movable button 254 to the accommodation position. Is driven. As a result, the movable button 254 is returned to the accommodation position by the power of the actuator. At this time, since the button cover 256 is not connected to the movable button 254, the power of the actuator is not transmitted to the button cover 256. As a result, the button cover 256 is moved by its own weight in the accommodation direction from the protruding position to the accommodation position. The operation when the movable button 254 returns to the accommodation position by driving the movable device 252 will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the button unit 250. As shown in FIG. 4A, the movable button 254 and the button cover 256 are in a state of protruding from the main body 210 at the protruding position. In this state, when a predetermined time elapses without the player performing any operation on the effect operation unit 200, the movable device 252 is driven so as to return the movable button 254 to the accommodation position. At this time, since the movable button 254 and the button cover 256 are not connected as described above, the button cover 256 moves to the accommodation position so as to follow the movable button 254 by its own weight, and FIG. The state shown in b) is obtained.

  However, as shown in FIG. 3B, the rendering operation unit 200 is in a state where the main body 210 is inserted through the through hole 106a and the gripping part 220 is protruded from one end (upper end) of the through hole 106a. It is supported by the support part 106. At this time, the through-hole 106a is inclined so that the upper end is positioned on the player side (Y-axis direction) facing the door body 6 with respect to the lower end, and the effect operation unit 200 (main body 210) is vertically With respect to the direction and the horizontal direction, it has an inclination as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4C, the direction in which the button cover 256 moves under its own weight (accommodating direction) is inclined with respect to the vertical direction, and is brought into contact with other members such as the movable button 254. The generated frictional resistance may cause the button cover 256 to be unable to return to the storage position. Therefore, in this embodiment, the guide member 260 is provided in order to return the button cover 256 to the storage position quickly and reliably.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the guide member 260. FIG. 5A is a perspective view in which the handle cover 270 is removed from the rendering operation unit 200, and FIGS. 5B and 5C are views showing the arrangement of only the button cover 256 and the guide member 260. FIG. 5D is a cross-sectional view taken along line V (d) -V (d) of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, a handle cover 270 is fixed to the main body 210 of the rendering operation unit 200 on the opening 210a side. The handle cover 270 includes an annular portion 272 in which an insertion hole 272a is formed, an extending surface 274 that extends radially outward from the annular portion 272 and covers the extending portion 212, and A mounting portion 276 that is positioned further radially outward than the extending surface 274 and is fixed to the grip portion 220 is integrally formed. Further, a plurality of (for example, five) cylindrical shaft portions 278 having screw holes formed therein are provided on the back side of the annular portion 272, and screws are screwed into the screw holes. The handle cover 270 is fixed to the main body 210.

  In a state where the handle cover 270 is fixed to the main body 210, the axial direction of the shaft 278 is parallel to the axial direction of the main body 210 and the button cover 256, that is, the accommodation direction and the protruding direction of the movable button 254. The shaft portion 278 is located radially outward of the button cover 256, and the guide member 260 is held on the shaft portion 278.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the guide member 260 is opposed to the side surface of the button cover 256 and has a facing surface 260 a having a length in the axial direction of the shaft portion 278, that is, the operation direction of the button cover 256, and the facing surface 260 a. A locking portion 260b that bends toward one side of the button cover 256 and a fitting hole 260c into which the shaft portion 278 is fitted. The fitting hole 260c is fitted into the shaft portion 278. In this state, it is fixed to the handle cover 270.

  5B, 5C, and 5D are a side view, a top view, and a cross-sectional view when the button cover 256, the guide member 260, and the annular portion 272 of the handle cover 270 are horizontally arranged. 5 (b), (c), and (d), a plurality of (for example, five) guide members 260 are provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction outside the button cover 256 in the radial direction. It has been. As described above, the button cover 256 is held in a posture inclined with respect to the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, the three guide members 260 are disposed below the center of the button cover 256, and the two guides are disposed above. A member 260 is disposed. As is clear from FIGS. 5B and 5D, the guide member 260 disposed immediately below the center of the button cover 256 has a shape in which the facing surface 260 a is shorter than the other guide members 260. However, this is to avoid interference with other members (not shown), and preferably has the same shape as the other guide members 260.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5D, the gap between the locking portion 260 b of the guide member 260 and the side surface of the button cover 256 is larger than the gap between the annular portion 272 of the handle cover 270 and the side surface of the button cover 256. small. The button cover 256 is not fixed or connected to any other parts such as the movable button 254. For this reason, of the five guide members 260, the own weight acts on the three guide members 260 positioned below the center of the button cover 256. In other words, the guide member 260 receives its own weight from the side surface of the button cover 256 extending in the operation direction. Further, when the button cover 256 moves in the housing direction or the protruding direction, the button cover 256 and the guide member 260 come into contact with each other and slide. Specifically, the side surface of the button cover 256 and the locking portion 260b of the guide member 260 contact and slide, or the projection portion 256b of the button cover 256 and the facing surface 260a contact and slide.

  In the present embodiment, the contact portion where the locking portion 260b of the guide member 260 and the button cover 256 are in contact with each other is substantially the same as the curvature of the side surface of the button cover 256. Moreover, the guide member 260 is made of a material having a smaller friction coefficient than the button cover 256. Thereby, the frictional resistance when the button cover 256 operates in the housing direction or the protruding direction is reduced, and the smooth operation of the button cover 256 is ensured. In particular, the button cover 256 may move by its own weight from the protruding position to the storage position due to its own weight. Even in this case, the button cover 256 is guided by the guide member 260, so that the button cover 256 is quickly moved to the storage position. It is possible to return, and only the button cover 256 does not protrude halfway.

  It should be noted that the protrusion 256b of the button cover 256 and the locking portion 260b of the guide member 260 maintain a dimensional relationship in which a part thereof opposes the operation direction of the button cover 256. Thereby, at the protruding position of the button cover 256, the protrusion 256b is locked to the locking portion 260b, and the button cover 256 can be prevented from coming out of the main body 210.

  Here, as described above, a large external force is applied to the effect operation unit 200 by an input of a rotation operation with respect to the grip portion 220 or a pressing operation with respect to the movable button 254. Therefore, the production operation unit 200 must be firmly fixed and supported on the door body 6. On the other hand, the production operation unit 200 moves in various ways, such as when the gripping part 220 and the main part 210 rotate, and the movable button 254 appears and disappears from the main part 210, and a large external force acts as described above. As a result, failure is likely to occur. Therefore, it is desirable that the rendering operation unit 200 can be easily attached to and detached from the door body 6 so that the production operation unit 200 can be quickly repaired and replaced when a failure occurs. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the effect operation unit 200 is fixed to the door body 6 as follows.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the grip portion 220 of the effect operation unit 200 is fixed to the door body 6 so as to be positioned above the fixing portion 230 in the vertical direction and on the player side facing the door body 6 in the horizontal direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the grip portion 220 of the effect operation unit 200 is positioned lower than the fixed portion 230 in the vertical direction and on the player side facing the door body 6 in the horizontal direction, and protrudes from the storage position of the button cover 256. The movement in the protruding direction may be made by its own weight.

  In the above embodiment, five guide members 260 are provided. However, the number, arrangement, shape, and the like of the guide members 260 are not limited to the above embodiment, and can be appropriately changed in design. Anyway, the guide member of this invention should just be the structure which receives self-weight from the side surface of the said movable body extended in the operation direction of a movable body.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the guide member 260 was comprised with the material whose friction coefficient is smaller than the button cover 256, both materials are not limited to this. However, when the guide member 260 is made of a material having a smaller friction coefficient than the button cover 256, the operation of the button cover 256 can be made smoother.
