The arm member 36 is disposed at the lower end position in such a state that the elongated hole 33N extends and the distal end engaging portion 36T is positioned at the right end of the elongated hole 33N. Then, when the arm member 36 rotates approximately 45 degrees clockwise in FIG. 5, the tip engaging portion 36T reaches a position closer to the left end of the long hole 33N (see FIG. 11). Then, when the arm member 36 further rotates approximately 45 degrees clockwise, as shown in FIG. 6, the arm member 36 reaches the second position and the extension bar 36N stands upright, and the elongated hole 33N The tip engaging portion 36T is located at the right end.

  Further, as described above, the main plate portion 36M of the arm member 36 rotates below the horizontal limit line extending horizontally from the vicinity of the rotation center P1 of the arm member 36, and the arm member 36 is disposed at the first position. When the arm member 36 is disposed at the second position, the extension bar 36N that is positioned below the horizontal limit line when standing is raised upward from the horizontal limit line so that the movable electric accessory 33 is moved from below. Since it supports, it becomes possible to perform the effect which changes the arm member 36 in the state which cannot be visually recognized, and changes only the electric decoration movable accessory 33 into the state which can be visually recognized, and the state which cannot be visually recognized.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a relay member 50 for transmitting power from the motor 34 to the arm member 36 is provided on the left side of the main plate portion 36 </ b> M in the arm member 36 disposed at the first position. The relay member 50 has a disk shape and is received by a circular depression 40L formed on the front surface of the base member 40, and the bush 36L and a screw are inserted into a through hole formed in the center. The base member 40 is rotatably attached. Further, the relay member 50 is located behind the plane including the rotation region of the arm member 36, and the right side portion of the outer edge portion of the base member 40 is the arm member 36 in a state where the arm member 36 is disposed at the first position. The relay engaging portion 50A attached to the long hole 36A from behind is engaged with the long hole 36A so as to be slidable. Further, the relay engaging portion 50 </ b> A has the above-described bush 36 </ b> L inserted from the front side into the long hole 36 </ b> A and a screw threaded inside thereof, and the screw is screwed into the relay member 50 and attached to the relay member 50.

  Here, if the distance between the rotation center of the relay member 50 and the center of the relay engagement portion 50 </ b> A is a specific radius, the rotation center of the relay member 50 is a specific radius with respect to the rotation center of the arm member 36. It is arranged at a position that is shifted downward and only to the left by a specific radius. Thereby, when the relay engagement portion 50A is positioned on the horizontal right side with respect to the rotation center of the relay member 50, the relay engagement portion 50A is arranged vertically below the rotation center of the arm member 36. At this time, in the long hole 36A, although not shown in the drawing, the relay engaging portion 50A is disposed slightly away from one end face in the long hole 36A. When the relay member 50 rotates 135 degrees clockwise in FIG. 5 from that state, the rotation center of the arm member 36, the rotation center of the relay member 50, and the relay engagement portion 50A are aligned in a straight line. The part 50A reaches the position near the other end of the long hole 36A. When the relay member 50 further rotates 135 degrees clockwise from there, the relay engagement portion 50A is vertically upward with respect to the rotation center of the relay member 50 and the arm member 36 is rotated as shown in FIG. In this state, the relay engaging portion 50A is slightly separated from one end surface in the long hole 36A, although not shown in the drawing. .

  Further, when the relay member 50 is driven to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. 5 by the motor 34, the relay engagement portion 50 </ b> A is elongated at a position slightly shifted from the horizontal right side position to the upper side of the rotation center of the relay member 50. The arm member 36 is positioned at the first position in contact with one end surface of 36A. Thus, when the arm member 36 is disposed at the first position, the relay member 50 presses the relay engaging portion 50A against the one end surface of the long hole 36A by a force (load) applied from the arm member 36 to the relay member 50. Therefore, it is locked so as not to rotate due to a load from the arm member 36. Further, when the relay member 50 is driven to rotate clockwise in FIG. 6, one end face of the long hole 36 </ b> A is located at a position where the relay engaging portion 50 </ b> A is slightly shifted from the position directly above the center of rotation of the relay member 50 to the right side. The arm member 36 is positioned at the second position. As a result, when the arm member 36 is disposed at the second position, the arm member 36 is locked so as not to rotate due to a load from the arm member 36 as in the case where the arm member 36 is disposed at the first position. Thus, the arm member 36 can be held in the first position and the second position without applying a load to the motor 34.

  Note that when the relay engaging portion 50A is disposed at a position on the right side of the horizontal with respect to the rotation center of the relay member 50, the arm member 36 is positioned at the first position by contacting the one end surface of the long hole 36A. When the engaging portion 50A is disposed at a position directly above the rotation center of the relay member 50, the arm member 36 may be positioned at the second position by abutting against one end surface of the long hole 36A. . Even in such a configuration, since the torque for rotating the relay member 50 by the force from the relay member 50 is suppressed, the load on the motor 34 that holds the arm member 36 in the first position and the second position is reduced. The

  As shown in FIG. 6, the motor 34 is disposed on the outer lower side of the rotation range of the arm member 36 and attached to the front side of the base member 40, and there are a plurality of spaces between the rotation output portion of the motor 34 and the relay member 50. Are connected by gears. Specifically, a pedestal portion 40B is formed below the main plate portion 36M in a state where the arm member 36 is disposed at the first position by raising a part of the base member 40 to the front side in a stepped shape. . When viewed from the front, the pedestal portion 40 </ b> B has a semicircular shape at the outer edge upper portion, and has a shape in which the outer edge side portion extends linearly from both ends of the arc to the lower end portion of the base member 40. Further, the front surface of the pedestal portion 40B is parallel to the front surface of the base member 40 as a whole. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10B, the base member 40 is attached with a rear cover 40S that covers the base portion 40B from the rear. Then, for example, the columns 40D protrude forward from the lower right and upper right portions of the front surface of the pedestal portion 40B and the right side portion of the pedestal portion 40B, respectively, and the motor support plate 34P is pressed against the front end surfaces of the columns 40D. And screwed (see FIG. 10A).

  The pedestal portion 40B is formed with a through hole 40A that is concentric with the arc at the upper part of the outer edge, and a corresponding through hole 34B is also formed in the motor support plate 34P. The stator of the motor 34 is fixed to the front opening edge of the through hole 34B of the motor support plate 34P, and the rotation output portion of the motor 34 is located on the rear side of the pedestal portion 40B, and the input gear 34A is connected to the rotation output portion. Is fixed.

  Furthermore, a gear accommodating depression 40M communicating with the circular depression 40L is formed below the relay member 50 in the front surface of the base member 40, and the gear accommodating depression 40M is formed on the left step surface of the base 40B. An opening (not shown) is formed toward. Then, the first and second small gears 48A and 48B and the large gear 48C are accommodated in the gear accommodating recess 40M (see FIG. 10A), and among these, the first small gear 48A is the input gear 34A. The second small gear 48B meshes with the first small gear 48A from the left side, and the large gear 48C meshes with the second small gear 48B from above. ing. Further, an output gear (not shown) is provided on the rear surface of the relay member 50 so as to be integrally rotatable, and a large gear 48C meshes with the output gear from below. As a result, the power of the motor 34 is transmitted to the relay member 50, the arm member 36, and the movable electric accessory 33, and the arm member 36 rotates between the first position and the second position. The movable accessory 33 moves linearly between the lower end position and the upper end position.

  By the way, when moving the movable electric accessory 33 from the upper end position to the lower end position, the gravity related to the movable electric accessory 33 (hereinafter referred to as “the weight of the movable electric accessory 33”) assists the motor 34. However, when the movable electric accessory 33 is moved from the lower end position to the upper end position, the weight of the movable electric accessory 33 becomes a load of the motor 34. Therefore, a tensile elastic member 37 is attached as a counter balancer with respect to the weight of the movable electric accessory 33 so as to expand and contract between the arm member 36 and the base member 40.

  Specifically, the tension elastic member 37 is a metal tension coil spring, and is provided with attachment rings 37R and 37R at both ends thereof (see FIG. 5). The attachment ring 37R is formed by forming a wire constituting the coil part of the tensile elastic member 37 into a ring shape within a plane including the winding axis of the coil part.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to attach the tensile elastic member 37, a spring mounting projection 36H is provided at the end of the arm member 36 on the second straight outer edge 36E side in the adjacent outer edge 36F of the main plate 36M. Is provided. The spring mounting protrusion 36H protrudes horizontally on the side away from the rotation center of the arm member 36 disposed at the first position, and the tip end portion has an arc shape, and a spring (not shown) is positioned at the center of the arc. A mounting hole is formed. Then, a spring mounting screw 36V passing through the washer 36W is passed through the mounting ring 37R at one end of the tensile elastic member 37, and the spring mounting screw 36V is screwed into the spring mounting hole of the arm member 36. Thereby, the one end part of the tension | pulling elastic member 37 is attached to the spring attachment protrusion 36H so that rotation is possible.

  A hook 40F is formed on the base member 40 at a position that is obliquely downward to the right with respect to the spring mounting projection 36H of the arm member 36 disposed at the first position. The hook 40F has a shape that protrudes forward from the base member 40 and then bends upward to the right. The hook 40 </ b> F is passed through the attachment ring 37 </ b> R on the other end side of the tensile elastic member 37, and the other end portion of the tensile elastic member 37 is fixed to the base member 40. As shown in FIG. 5, the intermediate portion of the tensile elastic member 37 is held in a bent state by a bending holding portion 45 </ b> K provided in the base portion 40 </ b> B of the base member 40.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the bending holding portion 45K includes a cylindrical support tube portion 40T protruding from the front surface of the pedestal portion 40B, and a pulley 45 that is rotatably fitted to the outside of the support tube portion 40T. Consists of. The support cylinder portion 40T is abutted against the motor support plate 34P from the rear surface, and receives a part of the motor 34 inside. The pulley 45 is made of a sliding resin such as polyacetal, and has a shape in which a flange 45B is projected laterally from the front end of the cylindrical portion 45A having the same axial length as the support cylinder portion 40T. The pulley 45 is supported by the motor support plate 34P. Is retained by the support tube portion 40T. When the intermediate portion in the axial direction of the tensile elastic member 37 is pressed against the cylindrical portion 45A of the pulley 45 and the arm member 36 is disposed at the first position, the tensile elastic member 37 is curved in a U shape. Is held in.

  The description regarding the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has been described above. Next, the function and effect of this pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, when the movable electric accessory 33 is disposed at the upper end position and the arm member 36 is disposed at the second position, the rotation center of the arm member 36 (hereinafter referred to as “rotation center” as appropriate). P1 ”), the force point P2 (specifically, the center of the spring mounting screw 36V) of the arm member 36 to which the tensile elastic member 37 is attached, and the bent holding portion 45K of the tensile elastic member 37 A three-point connecting line L2 connecting the force point side contact point P3 closest to the force point P2 in the contact portion is substantially linear. At this time, the elastic force of the tensile elastic member 37 is only slightly applied to the arm member 36 in a state where the tensile elastic member 37 is slightly pulled, and the weight of the movable electric accessory 33 is reduced by the arm member 36. However, in the state where the arm member 36 is disposed at the second position as described above, the relay member 50 is locked so as not to rotate due to the force from the arm member 36. Is not loaded. The position of the arm member 36 at this time corresponds to the “series position” of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the series position and the second position are the same position.

  When the relay member 50 is rotationally driven in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 6 by the power of the motor 34 from this state, the lock is released, and the arm member 36 receives the power from the motor 34 and the weight of the movable electric accessory 33. In response, the tensile elastic member 37 is rotated toward the first position while being pulled and deformed. At this time, the pulley 45 rotates with the deformation of the tensile elastic member 37, or the tensile elastic member 37 slides on the peripheral surface of the pulley 45, and the entire tensile elastic member 37 is extended. Then, when the arm member 36 reaches an intermediate position near the first position, the three-point connecting line L2 is bent at a right angle (see FIG. 11), and further rotates from there to turn the arm member 36 into the first position. When the position is reached, the three-point connecting line L2 is bent at an acute angle (see FIG. 5). Further, a portion of the tensile elastic member 37 corresponding to the terminal straight line portion L3 that connects the force point P2 and the force point side contact point P3 is adjacent to and substantially parallel to the adjacent outer edge portion 36F of the arm member 36. In this state, the tensile elastic member 37 reaches a maximum state, and the elastic force of the tensile elastic member 37 is applied from the arm member 36 to the relay member 50. As described above, the arm member 36 Since the relay member 50 is locked so as not to be rotated by the force from the arm member 36 in a state where is disposed at the first position, no load is applied to the motor 34.

  When the relay member 50 is rotated in the clockwise direction in FIG. 5 by the power of the motor 34 from this state, the lock is released, and the arm member 36 receives the power from the motor 34 and the elastic force from the tensile elastic member 37. The electric movable article 33 is pushed up from the lower end position toward the upper end position against the weight of the electric movable piece 33. Also in this case, the pulley 45 rotates with the deformation of the tensile elastic member 37, or the tensile elastic member 37 slides on the peripheral surface of the pulley 45 and the entire tensile elastic member 37 contracts. Further, when the arm member 36 leaves the first position and reaches an intermediate position near the first position, the three-point connecting line L2 is bent at a right angle (see FIG. 11), and further rotated from there. The bending angle of the three-point connecting line L2 increases. Thereby, the expansion / contraction direction of the tensile elastic member 37 is sufficiently overlapped with the arcuate locus of the force point P2, and the elastic force of the tensile elastic member 37 is efficiently transmitted to the arm member 36, thereby reducing the load on the motor 34.

  Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, even if the movable stroke of the arm member 36 is large, and the tensile elastic member 37 is correspondingly long, the tensile elastic member 37 is maintained while the tensile elastic member 37 is held in a bent state. Since the bending holding portion 45K that allows expansion and contraction of the arm member 36 is provided, the tensile elastic member 37 can be bent and accommodated in a shape that matches the empty space around the arm member 36. Thereby, the freedom degree of arrangement | positioning of the tension elastic member 37 becomes high compared with the conventional thing which required the long linear space extended in a straight line in order to arrange | position the tension elastic member 37. FIG. And since the tension | pulling elastic member 37 can be arrange | positioned in the vacant space in the pachinko game machine 10, size reduction of the pachinko game machine 10 is achieved. In the state where the arm member 36 is disposed at the first position, a portion corresponding to the terminal straight line portion L3 connecting the force point P2 and the force point side contact point P3 in the tensile elastic member 37 is an adjacent outer edge portion 36F of the arm member 36. Therefore, the arm member 36 and the tensile elastic member 37 are brought close to each other within a range that is substantially parallel to each other and does not interfere with each other.

  In the present embodiment, a part of the motor 34 is received inside the support cylinder portion 40T provided in the bending holding portion 45K, and the motor 34 is effectively used. Furthermore, the relay engagement portion 50A reciprocates in the long hole 36A while the arm member 36 moves between the first position and the second position, and the tip engagement portion in the long hole 33N as described above. Since 36T reciprocates, the long holes 36A and 33N can be effectively used, and also in this respect, downsizing can be achieved.
