Then, it is surprising to the change in the shape of the speaker 48 from the normal state 51 to the second state 53, and the position where the sound is emitted in the normal state 51 and the upper position in the vertical direction (vertical direction), that is, the overhead position of the player Since the sound is emitted from the player, the player is surprised at the output of the sound emitted from the intentional position, and the interest is improved.

  In the present embodiment, when the game state is shifted to a game state that is advantageous to the player, the second state is transmitted by transmitting the rotation operation in the left-right direction to the first member 55 via the first drive source 56. 53, the first member 55, the second member 72, and the third member 81 can be tilted in the left-right direction (tilting direction indicated by L4) while the first member 55, the second member 72, and the third member 81 are positioned side by side on substantially the same axis. (3rd state 54 shown to FIG. 9B (d) and FIG. 14), the interest of a game improves further by the production | presentation with the intention which changes a form. Further, by tilting in this way, the position where the sound is emitted also moves, and further improvement of interest is achieved.

Then, the left and right speakers 48 are tilted, and the rotational operation of the first drive source 56 is temporarily stopped in a state where the left and right speakers are tilted in the left-right direction. The decorative panel 82 of the light emitting effect means is displayed with light emission, and at the same time, only a predetermined position of the light guide plate provided on the back side of the game board (not shown) is displayed with light emission, thereby forming a substantially V shape together with the left and right speakers 48. Thus, it is also possible to configure the front side of the gaming machine to emit light (fourth state 54A shown in FIG. 9B (e)).
By giving such a light effect display that informs the player that the game state has been changed to an advantageous game state, it is as if “VICTORY” “V” is celebrated that the player has changed to an advantageous game state. Characters can be greatly displayed on a gaming machine to improve the interest of the player.

  In addition, although not limitedly interpreted, it is naturally possible to use the light guide plate 1031 or the like employed in the sixth embodiment described later as the light guide plate.

According to the present embodiment, the shaft support piece 241 includes a projecting piece portion 237, a substrate portion 242 that is supported by the shaft, and a support plate portion 244 that protrudes integrally from the substrate portion 242.
A meshing hole 243 with which the gear portion 250 of the first drive source 248 is engaged is formed at a substantially central position of the substrate portion 242, and each cylindrical component 221-231 is connected to the cylindrical shaft 216 in the support plate portion 244. Are provided with a second drive mechanism 253 that moves in a direction orthogonal to the second drive mechanism 253 and a third drive mechanism 260 that moves the speaker 48 in the second direction (cylinder axis direction L10).

  In the present embodiment, a predetermined gap is provided between the outer surface on the base end side of the support plate portion 244 (near the boundary with the substrate portion 242) and the left and right side surfaces 245 of the support plate portion 244 in the cylinder axis direction L10. The left and right inner wall members 251 and 252 are integrally connected (FIG. 21).

The left and right inner wall members 251 and 252 have a function of hiding the second drive mechanism 253 and the third drive mechanism 260 from the outside in a state that is difficult to visually recognize, and a second drive source (rotary motor) 254 and a third drive mechanism of the second drive mechanism 253. The third drive source (rotary motor) 261 of the drive mechanism 260 is held.
In the present embodiment, the lengths of the inner wall members 251 and 252 in the cylinder axis direction L10 are formed to be substantially the same as the lengths of the first cylindrical component 221 to the first part 223 of the fourth cylindrical component 231. When the first portions 223 of the first cylindrical component 221 to the fourth cylindrical component 231 are configured to face each other, they interfere with the inner surfaces of the first cylindrical component 221 to the fourth cylindrical component 231. The overall shape (cylinder shaft length, vertical width) is not particularly limited as long as the second drive mechanism 253 and the third drive mechanism 260 can be hidden from the outside without being visible. The design can be changed within the range of.

The second drive mechanism 253 includes a second drive source (rotary motor) 254 disposed on the inner wall members 251 and 252, and a gear portion 256 provided at the tip of a shaft portion 255 that is rotatably provided in the second drive source 254. And a pair of rail portions 257 and 258 disposed on the support plate portion 244 so as to be engaged with the gear portion 256 and movable in different directions (upward and downward in the vertical direction L9). .
In the figure, reference numeral 259 denotes a cylindrical member that covers the second drive source 254. Note that a hole through which the shaft portion 255 is inserted in the distal end surface of the cylindrical member 259 is provided with a bearing portion (not shown) that rotatably supports the shaft portion 255.

One rail portion 257 has one end portion 257 a connected and fixed to a predetermined position on the inner surface of the first cylindrical member 221, and the other rail portion 258 is connected to and fixed to one rail portion 257. An end portion 258 a opposite to the end portion 257 a is connected and fixed to a predetermined position on the inner surface of the second cylindrical member 227.
With this configuration, the pair of rail portions 257 and 258 move away from each other by the rotation operation of the gear portion 256 in a predetermined direction, so that the first cylindrical component 221 and the second cylindrical component 227 are moved. The first cylindrical component 221 and the second cylindrical component 227 are moved in a direction in which the pair of rail portions 257 and 258 approach by rotating in the opposite direction and the gear unit 256 rotating in the opposite direction. Can be displaced toward each other (third state 211).
When the first cylinder component 221 and the second cylinder component 227 move in the direction in which the first cylinder component 221 and the second cylinder component 227 move away from each other, the first cylinder component 221 and the second cylinder component 227 may be interposed between the first portions 223. Although a predetermined gap 234 is generated, the internal structure, that is, the second drive mechanism 253 and the third drive mechanism 260 are configured to be difficult to see from the outside by the inner wall surface 251.

In the present embodiment, another second drive mechanism 253 is also disposed on the side surface opposite to the side surface of the support plate portion 244 on which the second drive mechanism 253 is disposed.
In addition, a pair of rail portions 257 and 258 that are meshed with the gear portion 256 of the second drive source 254 and are respectively movable in different directions are provided. Then, one end portion 257a of one rail portion 257 is connected and fixed to a predetermined position on the inner surface of the third cylindrical member 229, and one end portion of the other rail portion 258 (the other end opposite to the end portion 257a of the one rail portion 257). An end portion 258a is connected and fixed to a predetermined position on the inner surface of the second cylindrical component 227.
Accordingly, similarly to the first cylindrical component 221 and the second cylindrical component 227, the third cylindrical component 229 and the fourth cylindrical component 231 are similarly displaced. The gear portions of the left and right second drive mechanisms 253 are rotationally adjusted so as to rotate in the same direction.
Similarly to the above, when the third cylinder component 229 and the fourth cylinder component 231 move in the direction away from each other, the first portions 223 of the third cylinder component 229 and the fourth cylinder component 231 respectively. A predetermined gap 234 is generated between them, but the inner wall surface 252 makes the internal structure, that is, the second drive mechanism 253 and the third drive mechanism 260 difficult to see from the outside.

  The third drive mechanism 260 includes a third drive source (rotary motor) 261 held by one of the inner wall members 251 and a gear provided at the tip of a shaft portion 262 that is rotatably provided in the third drive source 261. Part 263 and a rail part 264 that is meshed with the gear part 263 and arranged to be movable in the cylinder axis direction L10.

The rail portion 264 has a base end portion 265 inserted into the hollow interior 246 of the support plate portion 244 through an opening, and a distal end portion 266 connected and fixed to a predetermined position on the rear end of the elongated cylindrical portion 200 of the speaker 48. Yes.
The gear portion 263 is provided in the hollow interior 246 by being integrally provided on the shaft portion 262 that protrudes into the hollow interior 246 through the hole on the side surface of the support plate portion 244, and the rail portion 264 is provided in the hollow interior 246. Is engaged.
With this configuration, the rotation of the gear portion 263 in a predetermined direction causes the rail portion 264 to move back and forth in the cylinder axis direction L10 and cause the speaker 48 to move back and forth in the cylinder axis direction L10 (second state 209). ).

The length of the rail portion 264 is the second state in which the speaker 48 is moved in the distal direction of the cylinder 215 in the normal state 205 and the first state 207 in which the speaker 48 is accommodated inside the cylinder 215. It is sufficient that the rail portion 264 has a length that can be accommodated in the hollow interior 246 of the support plate portion 244 in both cases 209, the third state 211, and the fourth state 213.
The base end portion 265 of the rail portion 264 accommodated in the hollow interior 246 of the support plate portion 244 is such that the rail portion 264 falls out of the hollow interior 246 when the speaker 48 moves most toward the distal end of the cylindrical body 215. In order to prevent this, a predetermined locking structure may be provided between the hollow interior 246.

In the present embodiment, the speaker 48 is connected to the elongated cylindrical portion 200 to connect and fix the distal end side of the rail portion 264 at a predetermined position on the rear end, and is expanded in communication with the elongated cylindrical portion 200 at the distal end side of the elongated cylindrical portion 200. It is comprised by the output part 49 (The surface part of a front-end | tip functions as the output surface 49a which emits an audio | voice) integrally molded by the funnel shape. The wiring from the speaker 48 is not shown.
Note that the configuration of the speaker 48 is not limited to this embodiment, and a speaker having a well-known general form can be appropriately selected and used. In that case, the same rod-like member as the elongated cylindrical portion 200 as in this embodiment may be attached, and the rod-like member may be moved forward and backward to realize the same effect as in this embodiment.

In the present embodiment, a lens member 201 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the elongated cylindrical portion 200 so as to cover a predetermined LED substrate (not shown) and cover an upper region thereof.
By configuring in this way, it is possible to enhance the effect produced by the light around the speaker 48. Further, although not particularly limited to interpretation, a light diffusing portion in which the inner surfaces of each of the first cylindrical component 221 to the fourth cylindrical component 231 are formed in an uneven shape is provided, and the light from the lens member 201 is transmitted. The light may be diffused by diffuse reflection. In particular, in order to enhance the gun effect, the speaker 48 and the movable body 215 may be configured to emit light vigorously so as to produce an effect that sparks are scattered around the gun when a gun is shot.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of short cylindrical lens member structures 202 are connected to form a lens member 201 that can be expanded and contracted in the cylinder axis direction L10 outside the elongated cylindrical portion 200 of the speaker 48.

Each lens member constituting body 202 rises integrally with a small-diameter sliding cylinder 202a slidably fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the elongated cylinder 200 of the speaker 48 and outward from the sliding cylinder 202a. A large-diameter disk portion 202b, a large-diameter cylindrical portion 202c integrally formed in the horizontal direction from the disk portion 202b, and a connecting ring portion 202d integrally formed inward from the cylindrical portion 202c. It consists of A small-diameter connected ring portion 202e rising to a small diameter is provided at the end of the sliding cylinder 202a opposite to the end where the large-diameter disk portion 202b is rising.
Further, at least a part of the lens member structure 202 positioned at the most distal end is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the elongated cylindrical portion 200 of the speaker 48, and the lens member structure 202 positioned at the innermost position is at least partially. Is fixed to the tip of the support plate portion 244.
In each of the lens member structures 202 other than the most distal lens member structure 202 and the innermost lens member structure 202, the sliding tube portion 202a can slide on the outer peripheral surface of the elongated tube portion 200. And the connecting ring part 202d is engaged with the connected ring part 202e of the adjacent lens member constituting body 202 to be connected in the cylinder axis direction L10. Therefore, since it is configured as described above, when the speaker 48 moves back and forth in the cylinder axis direction L10, each lens member constituting body 202 of the lens member 201 also expands and contracts in the cylinder axis direction L10 in conjunction with the movement.

In the figure, reference numeral 267 denotes a position detection sensor that limits the rotation operation (tilting) of the shaft support piece 241 in the vertical direction L9 to prevent the shaft portion 249 from being damaged. As the position detection sensor 267, for example, various proximity sensors for detecting the detection target portion 267d can be adopted, and an optimum position detection sensor can be selected and used as appropriate within the scope of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 22, the first sensor portion 267 a, the second sensor portion 267 b, the third sensor portion 267 are provided on the side surface (surface portion facing the protruding piece portion 237) of the shaft support piece 241. The sensor part 267c is provided, and the sensor part 267a-267c is configured to detect the displacement position of the shaft support piece 241 by sensing the detection target part 267d provided at a predetermined position of the protruding piece part 237. Yes.
For example, the first sensor unit 267a senses that the first sensor unit 267a is displaced to the first state 207, and the second sensor unit 267b and the third sensor unit 267c are displaced by swinging vertically in the fourth state 213. Sensing that.

In the figure, reference numeral 270 denotes a position detection sensor, which limits the opening / closing operation of the first cylinder constituent body 221 to the fourth cylinder constituent body 231 constituting the movable member 203, and the movable member 203, the second drive mechanism 253, and the like. To prevent damage. As the position detection sensor 270, for example, various proximity sensors that detect the detection target portion 270b can be adopted, and an optimum position detection sensor can be selected and used as appropriate within the scope of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 22, a sensor unit 270a is provided on the side surface of the substrate portion 242 of the shaft support piece 241 (surface portion near the boundary with the support plate portion 244). The displacement positions of the first cylinder component 221 to the fourth cylinder component 231 are detected by sensing the base end side (detection target part 270b) of the one cylinder component 221 to the fourth cylinder component 231. It is configured to do.
Further, reference numeral 280 in the figure is a position detection sensor that limits the forward / backward movement of the speaker 48 to prevent the speaker 48 and the third drive mechanism 260 from being damaged. As the position detection sensor 280, for example, various proximity sensors that detect the detection target portion 280b can be adopted, and an optimal position detection sensor can be selected and used as appropriate within the scope of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 22, a sensor part 280a is provided on the side surface of the support plate part 244 of the shaft support piece 241, and the rail part 264 (detection target part 280b) is sensed by the sensor part 280a. Thus, the displacement position of the speaker 48 is detected.

<Direction by speaker>
16 to 22 show an outline of the effect form by the speaker 48 in the present embodiment.

  First, in the normal gaming state, the movable member 203 is positioned facing the back surface portion 50a of the arrangement region 50 in a state where the movable member 203 is folded around the shaft support portion 235 (normal state 205 (also referred to as initial state)). (FIGS. 15 and 18). In the normal state 205, as described above, the movable member 203 is positioned facing the back surface portion 50a of the arrangement region 50 in a state of being folded around the shaft support portion 235. Is easily recognized by the player as a part of the appearance form, and is hardly recognized as the speaker 48. Note that the sound emitted in the normal state 205 is emitted from the output unit 49 of the speaker 48 accommodated in the movable body 215 in this state, but the output surface 49a of the output unit 49 is difficult for the player to visually recognize. is there.

  For example, when a game state (such as jackpot game state) advantageous to the player is to be transferred, the movable member 203 rotates the first drive source 248 in order to notify the player in advance. The normal state 205 is displaced to the first state 207 by the operation. That is, by the operation signal sent to the first drive source 248, the rotation operation from the first drive source 248 is transmitted to the shaft support portion 235 via the gear portion 249, and the shaft support portion 235 rotates upward. Then, the movable member 203 is erected in the horizontal direction so that the output unit (speaker) 49 faces the direction L1 facing (opposing) the player (FIGS. 16 and 19). That is, at this time, it is possible to make the image of the player as if the movable member 203 had raised the barrel and the tip of the gun was directed toward the player. Further, the output surface 49a of the output unit 49 is also easily visible from the player.

Next, after the movable member 203 is displaced to the first state 207, the speaker 48 is displaced to the second state 209 in which the speaker 48 moves back and forth in the cylinder axis direction L10. That is, the rotation signal from the third drive source 261 is transmitted to the gear portion 263 by the operation signal sent to the third drive source 261 of the third drive mechanism 260 and is held in mesh with the gear portion 263. By moving the existing rail portion 264 back and forth in the cylinder axis direction L10, the speaker 48 moves back and forth in the cylinder axis direction L10.
As described above, when the speaker 48 outputs sound while moving back and forth in the cylinder axis direction L10, the sound is heard while moving in the front-rear direction L8, and a sound depth feeling (sound spreading feeling) is given. For this reason, the player is surprised by the output of such sound and the interest is improved.

In the present embodiment, simultaneously with the displacement operation of the second state 209, the first cylinder component 221, the second cylinder component 227, the third cylinder component 229, and the fourth cylinder configuration that constitute the movable body 215. Each of the bodies 231 is configured to expand outward and displace to the third state 211 (FIGS. 17 and 20).
That is, the speaker 48 moves forward and backward, and the rotation operation from each second drive source 254 is caused by the operation signal sent to the respective second drive source 254 of each of the pair of second drive mechanisms 253. By moving the pair of rail portions 257 and 258 that are transmitted to the portion 255 and held in mesh with the respective gear portions 255 in the direction of separating from each other, the first tubular structure 221 and the second tubular structure The body 227, the third cylinder component 229, and the fourth cylinder component 231 are each expanded outward, and the first cylinder component 221 and the second cylinder component 227 are A wide gap 234 is formed between each of the third cylindrical member 229 and the fourth cylindrical member 231.
Thus, by performing the displacement operation of the second state 209 and the third state 211 at the same time, the player is not only surprised by such a change in form, but the sound from the output unit 49 of the speaker 48 is spread. The gap 233 is also output to the side of the movable member 203, and the spread of the sound is further increased.
Since the displacement operation of the second state 209 and the third state 211 is executed simultaneously, it is possible to make the outer member appear to move due to the reaction of shooting the gun, so it is as if a real gun was used. It is possible to achieve a production like Taka. Further, the changing operation of the second state 209 and the third state 211 may be executed not at the same time but at a different timing.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first cylinder component 221, the second cylinder component 227, the third cylinder component 229, and the fourth cylinder component 231 are respectively displaced to the third state 211. The entire movable member 203 is configured to swing in the first direction (vertical direction L9) in a state of being expanded toward the direction.
That is, after the displacement to the third state 211, the rotation operation in the left-right direction from the first drive source 248 is performed via the gear unit 250 by the operation signal sent to the first drive source 248. The shaft support piece 241 is pivoted up and down (fourth state 213).

According to the present embodiment, the movable member 203 can provide an effect (the effect of the fourth state 213) that swings in the up and down direction L9 while producing a sound, and the effect can be performed as if the gun is being shot. Players will be more entertained with the intentional presentation.
In addition, when the movable member 203 is displaced, the sound emitted from the output unit (speaker) 49 can be heard from different directions, and the way the sound is heard is greatly different. Will be.
In addition, in this embodiment, although the form displaced to the 4th state 213 is employ | adopted after displacing to the 3rd state 211, the state which maintained the position which the output part 49 of the speaker 48 was easy to visually recognize, ie, 1st. It is also possible to adopt a form in which the state is displaced to the fourth state after being displaced to the state 207 and the second state 209, and is within the scope of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, a trigger portion 282 that interlocks with the movable member 203 is provided on the front side of the gaming machine main body A. The trigger unit 282 includes a push button at a predetermined position, and is configured to be swingable back and forth and left and right from the initial position in the upright state illustrated in FIG. 15. For example, the following operation is assumed.
For example, after the movable member 203 is displaced into the first state 207 or the second state 209, when the operation of tilting the trigger portion 282 in either the left or right direction is performed, each cylindrical component of the movable body 215 is interlocked with the operation. (The first cylindrical component 221, the second cylindrical component 227, the third cylindrical component 229, and the fourth cylindrical component 231) are expanded and displaced to the third state 211. .
Further, when the trigger portion 282 is swung in the vertical direction after being displaced in the third state, the movable member 203 is swung in the vertical direction in conjunction with the operation and is displaced in the fourth state 213. If the player pushes the push button provided on the trigger portion 282 in such a state, the movable body 215 can shoot the gun while expanding, and shoot while swinging the gun up and down. Therefore, the player will feel as if he is shooting a gun according to the game situation.
Further, assuming that the movable member 203 is configured to be swingable in the left-right direction (horizontal direction), the movable member 203 is swung in the left-right direction in conjunction with the swinging operation of the trigger portion 282 in the left-right direction. It is also possible to configure.
The displacement operation of the movable member 203 to the first state 207 is performed based on, for example, a signal from the sub control board or the like, but the trigger unit 282 is moved forward (player) even in the normal gaming state. When the movable member 203 stands up from the normal state 205 and is displaced to the first state 207 and pushes the push button, a gunshot or the like is output from the output unit 49 of the speaker 48. It is also possible to set to obtain.
The configuration and installation position of the trigger unit 282 are not particularly limited and can be appropriately changed within the scope of the present invention.
Therefore, the player operates the trigger unit 282 to move the movable member 203 imitating a barrel by his / her own intention from the first state 207 to the second state 209, the third state 211, or the fourth state 213. It is also possible to perform a displacement operation, and it is possible to give the player a feeling as if he / she participated in the game directly.

Further, it is possible to provide a vibration function so that the trigger part 282 vibrates in conjunction with the operation of the movable member 203 that is displaced according to the operation of the trigger part 282.
That is, the trigger portion 282 is moved by the vibration function that operates in conjunction with the operation of the movable member 203 when the second state 209, the third state 211, or the fourth state 213 is displaced or during the displacement. If it is configured to vibrate, it is possible to give the player a sense of presence as if shooting a gun or a sense of unity with the game as an effect, and is within the scope of the present invention.
Further, the trigger unit 282 includes a sensor that can detect an operation when the trigger unit 282 is operated in a predetermined direction from the initial position, so that the operation in the predetermined direction can be detected. Based on the detection of the operation, It is preferable to perform a displacement operation of various members.

In the present embodiment, the movable member 203 has been described with an example in which the movable member 203 is displaced from the normal state 205 to the first state 207, from the second state 209 to the third state 211, and from the third state 211 to the fourth state 213. The first state 207 is displaced to the third state 211, and the output unit (speaker) 49 may output audio without moving back and forth, and the design can be arbitrarily changed.
In addition, it is possible to adopt a form in which the output unit 49 (speaker 48) outputs sound while moving back and forth after the displacement from the first state 207 to the third state 211, and is within the scope of the present invention. .
Further, although an example of implementation in which the third state 211 is displaced to the fourth state 213 has been described, it is also possible to displace from the first state 207 to the fourth state 213, and in this state, the output unit 49 (the speaker 48). ) May move forward and backward.

In the present embodiment, the inner wall members 251 and 252 make the second drive mechanism 253 and the third drive mechanism 260 difficult to visually recognize from the outside, but the second drive mechanism 253 and the third drive mechanism 260 are externally provided. It may be configured so that it cannot be visually recognized at all. In addition, it may be comprised easily visually without providing the inner wall members 251 and 252, and is within the scope of the present invention.
Further, the number of movable members 203 may be one, or three or more, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. The position where the movable member 203 is installed is not limited and is arbitrary.
The movable member 203 may be configured and installed so as to protrude in the left-right direction. Furthermore, it is within the scope of the present invention even if it is configured to be movable in directions other than the upward and left / right directions. In the case of a configuration in which a plurality of movable members 203 are installed, it is possible to set so that only one or two or more of them can be moved and the others cannot be moved, and this is within the scope of the present invention.
In addition, the first state 207, the second state 209, the third state 211, and the fourth state 213 are set so as to return to the position in the normal state 205 (initial position) without moving to the respective movable limit positions. May be.

As the position detection sensor, for example, various proximity sensors for detecting the detection target portion can be adopted, and an optimum position detection sensor can be selected and used as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.
For example, the guide protrusion 307 that slides in the guide groove 315 and a predetermined position on the inner surface of the upper surface 310 a of the output unit housing member 310 are provided. It is preferable that the sensor unit and the detection target unit are arranged at predetermined positions so that the guide protrusion 307 positioned in the first state 301 and the guide protrusion 307 can be detected when displaced by a predetermined angle in the left-right direction.

<Direction by speaker>
An effect form by the speaker 48 in the present embodiment will be described.

First, in the normal state 300 shown in FIGS. 24, 25, 28 and 29 (in the normal gaming state), the speaker 48 is in the state where the cover member 302 is closed (first position 332), and the output unit The output surface 49a of 49 is facing forward (direction facing the player) (third position 336).
The sound from the output unit (speaker 48) 49 passes through the sound transmission part (slit part) 317 of the cover member 302 from the window part (transmission hole part) 311 provided on the front surface 310 a of the output part accommodating member 310. Are output in the player direction L1.

  Then, when transitioning from the normal gaming state to some gaming state, for example, prior to transitioning to a gaming state advantageous to the player (such as jackpot gaming state), the transition to the gaming state is notified in advance (notice) As one of the means to perform, an effect by the speaker 48 may be performed.

For example, when shifting to a game state advantageous to the player, the speaker 48 first transmits a rotation operation command from the normal state 300 to the first drive source 313 and the second drive source 318, The output unit (speaker 48) 49 is rotated 90 degrees upward by one drive source 313, and the output surface 49a is opposed to the window (transmission hole) 312 provided on the upper surface 310a of the output unit accommodating member 310. With the second drive source 318, the cover member 302 is opened upward (positioned in the second state 334) and the cover member 302 is moved upward in the vertical direction L11. It protrudes in a bowl shape in the upper region facing the output surface 49a facing (first state 301).
At this time, the sound from the output unit 49 is output from the window (transmission hole) 312 provided on the upper surface 310 b of the output unit housing member 310 toward the inner surface of the cover member 302. The sound hitting the inner surface is reflected and output by the inner surface toward the player's overhead direction (player direction L1).

  In this first state 301, a sound related to a predetermined game (for example, a sound different from the sound that is emitted in the normal state and the like, which is emitted when shifting to an advantageous game state, etc.) from the output surface 49a of the output unit (speaker 48) 49 ) Is issued, the shape of the speaker 48 changes from the normal state 300 to the first state 301 (the change of the cover member 302 from the first position 332 to the second position 334, the speaker 48 changes from the third state 336 to the fourth state). In addition to being surprised by the change to 338), since the sound is emitted from the position where the sound is emitted in the normal state 300 and the upper position in the vertical direction (vertical direction L11), that is, the player's overhead position, The excitement is enhanced by the surprise of the output of the sound emitted from the position where it is attached.

In this embodiment, when the game state is shifted to a game state that is advantageous to the player, the upward opening operation is transmitted to the cover member 302 via the second drive source 318, so that the first state is changed from the normal state 300 to the first state. Since it is configured to be displaceable to the one state 301, the entertainment of the game is further improved by the effect with the intention to change the form.
It is also possible to configure so that only the cover member 302 is alternately displaced between the first state 301 and the normal state 300 without being interlocked with the speaker 48. That is, it is possible to provide a movable effect with the intention that the cover member 302 repeatedly performs opening and closing operations, and this is within the scope of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, after the first state 301 is reached, the cover member 302 is configured to be rotatable in the left-right direction L12 about the axis in the vertical direction L11 by the rotation operation from the third drive source 321. Therefore, since the position where the sound is emitted is displaced in the left-right direction L12 together with the displacement operation that makes the intention of the cover member 302 further, the interest can be improved. The rotation operation of the cover member 302 in the left-right direction L12 can be moved and displaced only in either the left-right direction, or the displacement state can be changed in the left-right direction L12 every predetermined time, or continuously in the left-right direction L12. It is possible to select any pattern for repeatedly changing the displacement state within the scope of the present invention.
Further, the number of speakers 48 may be one, or three or more, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. The position where the speaker 48 is installed is not limited and is arbitrary.
The speaker 48 may be configured such that the cover member 302 can be opened in the left-right direction. When the cover member 302 is opened in such a form, the cover member 302 rotates from the third drive source 321 in the vertical direction.
Furthermore, even if the cover member 302 is configured to be openable and closable in directions other than the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, it is within the scope of the present invention. For example, the cover member 302 may be configured to be able to rotate 360 degrees on the upper surface 310b of the output unit accommodating member 310, and the sound may be reflected in a direction opposite to the direction facing (opposing) the player. It is within the scope of the present invention.
In the case of a configuration in which a plurality of speakers 48 are installed, it is possible to set so that only one or two or more of them can be moved, and the other can not be moved, and it is within the scope of the present invention.

The left and right receiving portions 413 that are inclined downward in the back direction L2 are integrally provided toward the rear end edge 3c, and the rail portions 414 having a predetermined length are integrally fixed to predetermined positions of the left and right receiving portions 413, respectively. (FIG. 40).

  A drive source (rotary motor) 415 is housed inside the casing 407 of the speaker unit 406, and a rotating shaft 416 that protrudes integrally from the driving source 415 protrudes from one side surface 407 a of the casing 407 and the rotating shaft 416. Is integrally provided with a gear portion 417 that meshes with a rail portion 414 located on the side from which the rotating shaft 416 protrudes, and the other side surface 407b meshes with the other rail portion 414 facing each other. A gear portion 417 is provided so as to be rotatable.

  In the present embodiment, the left and right gear portions 417 are provided in the lower regions of the left and right side surfaces 407 a and 407 b of the casing 407. The gear portion 417 disposed on the opposite side of the rotationally driven gear portion 417 is disposed in mesh with the other rail portion 414, thereby moving the casing 407 left and right together with the rotationally driven gear portion 417. Supports from both sides to have a smooth displacement movement.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the speaker unit 406 in the first position 404 housed in the housing area and hidden behind the upper decoration unit 400 rotates the gear portion 417 engaged with the rail portion 414. As a result, the upper decoration unit 400 moves from the rear of the gaming machine main body A toward the upper front of the gaming machine main body A (in the direction indicated by the arrow L14 in the drawing) and is displaced to the second position 405.
When the predetermined game time (effect time) ends, the gear portion 417 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the gear portion 417 is rotated downward while meshing with the rail portion 414. In the direction indicated by the arrow L15) and is disposed at the first position 404.
Accordingly, when the speaker unit 406 moves toward the upper front of the gaming machine main body A (in the direction indicated by the arrow L14 in the drawing) and is displaced to the second position 405, the output unit 49 of the speaker 48 is connected to the speaker unit 406. Compared with the position at the first position 404, the area facing the speaker cover 401 is smaller when the position is at the second position 405.
In the drawing, the wiring of the speaker 48, the wiring of the light emission effect mechanism 408, and the like are not shown, but the speaker unit 406 is directed obliquely upward (in the direction indicated by the arrow L14 in the drawing) of the gaming machine main body A. It has a sufficient length so that it does not break when it is lifted (displaced).

In FIG. 40, reference numeral 418 denotes a position detection sensor which limits the up / down operation (displacement operation) of the speaker unit 406 in the vertical direction to prevent the speaker unit 406 from being damaged.
As the position detection sensor 418, for example, various proximity sensors for detecting the detection target portion 418b can be adopted, and an optimal position detection sensor can be selected and used as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 40, a sensor portion 418a is provided at a predetermined position on the inner surface (upper and lower in this embodiment) of the housing region of the front frame 3, and the predetermined position on the side surface of the casing 407 (by the sensor portion 418a) In the present embodiment, the detection target unit 418b provided in the upper part and the lower part is configured to sense. In the present embodiment, the sensor unit 418a and the detection target unit 418b are arranged so as to be able to detect the speaker unit 406 at the first position 404 and the speaker unit 406 at the second position 405, respectively (FIG. 40). That is, if both detection target parts 418b are detected by both sensor parts 418a, it is determined that the speaker unit 406 is located at the first position 404. If only the lower detection target part 418b is detected by the upper sensor part 418a, it is determined that the speaker unit 406 is located at the second position.

  Therefore, when the drive source 415 that has received a rotation operation command from the sub-control board causes the gear unit 417 to rotate in a predetermined direction (rotates in a counterclockwise direction in FIG. 40), the speaker unit 406 has a speaker unit. When the gear portion 417 meshes with the rail portion 414 and rotates, 406 emerges from the upper end opening 3a toward the upper front of the gaming machine main body A (in the direction indicated by the arrow L14 in the drawing) ( By projecting, the first position 404 is displaced to the second position 405 (FIG. 40).

Further, since the speaker unit 406 can be detached from the gaming machine main body A and can be exchanged with other speaker units at any time, for example, a speaker unit 406 as shown in FIG. 41 can be adopted.
FIG. 41 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which is a speaker unit 406 dedicated to a specific gaming machine in which the light emission effect mechanism 408 is formed to display a specific light emission display, and the speaker unit 406 is the second speaker unit 406. The state at position 405 is shown.
In the present embodiment, only the light emission effect mechanism 408 provided between the left and right speakers 48 has a specific configuration as shown in the figure, and the other configurations are the embodiments shown in FIGS. 37 to 40. Since it is the same as a form, the description is used and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

The speaker unit 406 is within the scope of the present invention as long as it has one or a plurality of output units 49 (speakers 48) for producing a sound effect, and the number and shape of the arrangement are arbitrary. Further, the light emitting effect mechanism 408 provides a decorative effect by light emission when the speaker unit 406 is displaced to the second position 405.
In addition, the arrangement positions of the drive source 415 and the rail portion 414 described above can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. Furthermore, the speaker unit 406 is unitized only by the output unit 49 (speaker 48) and the light emission effect mechanism 408, and may not include the casing 407, as long as it can be configured to move up and down. The design can be arbitrarily changed within the scope of the present invention.

In addition, although not shown, the speaker unit 406 is provided with an arbitrary movable effect actor, and can be improved when it is moved to the second position 405 to improve the interest of the game. For example, the movable effect combination is a movable combination constituting a sixth embodiment described later (for example, a movable combination having a blade shape similar to that of the first movable representation combination 1143), or a movable combination constituting the seventh embodiment. Of course, it is also possible to employ an accessory (for example, a semi-cylindrical movable accessory similar to the sixth movable effect accessory 1741).
The movable effect accessory may be disposed in place of the light emission effect mechanism 408, but may be provided together with the light emission effect mechanism 408, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. When the speaker unit 406 protrudes above the gaming machine main body A and is displaced to the second position 405, the light emission effect mechanism 408 achieves a predetermined light emission effect, and the movable effect agent achieves a predetermined movable effect, and Since the output unit 49 (speaker 48) produces a sound effect relating to the game, the player's interest is greatly improved by dramatic changes and overwhelming effects.

<Direction by speaker unit>
An effect form by the speaker unit 406 in the present embodiment will be described.

First, in the normal gaming state, the speaker unit 406 is housed in the housing area and is not visible from the outside (from the player) (the state at the first position 404).
At this time, the output surface 49 a of the output unit 49 provided in the speaker unit 406 faces the speaker cover 401 of the upper decoration unit 400.
Therefore, when the speaker unit 406 is at the first position 404, sound is output from the output surface 49a of the output unit 49 facing the speaker unit 401 via the speaker cover 401 of the upper decoration unit 400.

  Then, the rotation of the gear portion 417 to which the rotation operation from the drive source 415 is transmitted meshes with the rail portion 414 to raise the speaker unit 406 to the second position 405, and the game is played from the accommodation area through the upper end opening 3a. When protruding above the machine body A, it protrudes above the upper decoration unit 400 and directly outputs the sound without passing through the speaker cover 401.

Therefore, since it is configured in this way and the sound output position can be changed according to the gaming state, it is possible to provide a novel effect related to the game and improve the interest of the game. In addition, since the way the sound is heard varies depending on the degree of protrusion of the speaker unit 406, a novel effect by sound can be expected.
In addition, the player's interest is improved by a change in form that makes the speaker unit 406 project from above the gaming machine.

Further, the speaker unit 406 is displaced from the first position 404 to the second position 405, so that the appearance form of the entire gaming machine is greatly different, so that a novel appearance can be provided.
According to the present embodiment, the speaker unit 406 hidden behind the upper decoration unit 400 at the first position 404 suddenly extends obliquely upward from the rear of the upper decoration unit 400 to the front of the gaming machine main body A (arrow L14 in the figure). Direction, i.e., in the direction above the player's head, and displaced to the second position 405, so that the speaker unit 406 approaches the player's overhead direction, and the displacement is accompanied by an intention. The fun of the game is further improved by the movement.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, an effect effect by sound is exhibited by the output unit 49 (speaker 48) of the speaker unit 406 that appears at the second position 405, and a decoration effect effect by light emission is also exhibited by the light emission effect mechanism 408. Therefore, for example, it is possible to provide a novel effect related to an unprecedented game by the sound that is displaced according to the game state and the light emitting decoration, and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

When the predetermined game time (effect time) ends, the gear portion 417 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the gear portion 417 is rotated downward while meshing with the rail portion 414, so that the speaker unit 406 is directed in the rear direction L15. Then, it is accommodated in the accommodation area and disposed at the first position 404.
In the present embodiment, the speaker unit 406 is positioned in the second position 405 protruding upward from the gaming machine main body A for a predetermined time, and then returned to the first position 404 and accommodated in the gaming machine main body A as an example. However, the displacement operation of the speaker unit 406 is not limited to this, and can be arbitrarily set within the scope of the present invention. For example, the speaker unit 406 can adopt a displacement operation in which the first position 404 and the second position 405 are alternately displaced repeatedly to repeatedly appear and disappear from the gaming machine main body A, thereby improving the interest of the game. It becomes possible. It is also possible to set the speaker unit 406 to stop moving midway and return to the first position 404 after starting to move from the first position 404 to the second position 405. The player's interest is improved due to unexpected moving effects.
Also, a plurality of speaker units 406 may be provided, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. The position where the speaker unit 406 is installed is not limited and is arbitrary.
The speaker unit 406 is installed so as to move obliquely upward in the front direction. However, the speaker unit 406 may be configured to be moved and protruded in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction, and may be installed within the scope of the present invention. It is. In the case of a configuration in which a plurality of speaker units 406 are installed, it is possible to set so that only one or two or more of them can be moved and the others cannot be moved, and it is within the scope of the present invention.

The left lower substrate 1037f is attached to the light guide plate 1031 by the first holder 1040. The first holder 1040 functions as a function of holding a light incident portion (light incident lens portion) 1047 described later and also as a light leakage prevention so that light from the LED 1038 does not leak.
52 and 53, the member indicated by reference numeral 1042 is the second holder, and the substrate concealment indicated by reference numeral 1046 in FIGS. 55, 57, 59, 61, and 64 is attached to the light guide plate 1031. It is a holder for connecting to the back box.

  Here, a specific example of the light emission effect display will be described.

  First, a description will be given of a point that a predetermined partial light emission display effect can be performed by causing any one of the LEDs 1038 of the upper left substrate 1037a, the upper middle substrate 1037b, and the upper right substrate 1037c to emit light.

FIG. 55 shows the light guide plate 1031 by emitting only some of the LEDs 1038 on the upper left substrate 1037a (the LED 1038 in the region indicated by reference numeral L1 in FIG. 53). It shows that a predetermined light emission effect is applied to the area indicated by hatching.
In the present embodiment, an image (specific image) 1143 a having the same shape as that of the first movable effect actor 1143 is displayed on the left region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031. A reflection part (in this embodiment, the reflection part in this region is referred to as a first reflection part) is formed so that it can be displayed at the same position as the arrangement position.

Then, for example, when a predetermined condition is set in the game and a first movable effect actor 1143 to be described later is moved, before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving, the upper left substrate A part of the LED 1038 of 1037a is caused to emit light (flash / light).
The upper left substrate 1037a of the present embodiment is provided with an LED 1038 in the L1 area and an LED 1038 in the L2 area, the arrangement positions of which are changed in the vertical direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 53, the region indicated by L2 at a position higher in the vertical direction than the LED 1038 provided in the region indicated by L1 (in this embodiment, the same height position as the LED 1038 of the upper middle substrate 1037b in the vertical direction). LED 1038 is provided. In the present embodiment, only the LED 1038 in the range indicated by L1 in FIG. 53 emits light.
Thereby, the first movable effect actor 1143 and the first movable effect actor 1143 are arranged by the reflecting portion provided in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 corresponding to the position (left region in the drawing) where the first movable effect agent 1143 is disposed. A blade image (specific image) 1143a having the same shape is displayed in a light emission (flashing / lighting) effect so as to overlap the first movable effect agent 1143 in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 (FIG. 56). reference).
As described above, after the image 1143a having the same shape as the first movable effect actor 1143 is displayed in the light emission effect at the same position, the first movable effect actor 1143 appears, so that the first movable effect actor 1143 appears. This suggests a possibility that the accessory 1143 can move to a predetermined position (a so-called tilt feeling such as whether or not to appear). In particular, the expectation can be further enhanced by setting to blink at high speed.

FIG. 57 shows that the light emission of the LED 1038 of the upper middle substrate 1037b and the LED 1038 of the L2 region of the upper left substrate 1037a described above gives a predetermined light emission effect to the region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031. . In the present embodiment, the LED 1038 on the upper middle substrate 1037b and the LED 1038 in the L2 region of the upper left substrate 1037a are referred to as second light emitting means.
In the present embodiment, in the central region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031, the reflection unit (the book) is displayed so that a face image of the character of the gaming machine (an image different from the specific image 1143 a) can be displayed large. In the embodiment, the reflective portion in this region is referred to as a second reflective portion).
For example, when a predetermined condition is established in the game and the game state is shifted to a game state advantageous to the player, before the shift, the LED 1038 of the upper middle board 1037b and the above-described upper left board 1037a The LED 1038 in the L2 area is caused to emit light (flash / light).
Thereby, the face image of the predetermined character is displayed in a light emitting (flashing / lighting) effect display in the central region of the light guide plate 1031 by the reflector provided in the central region of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIG. 58).
As described above, after the face image of the predetermined character is displayed in the center region of the light guide plate 1031 and the light emission effect is displayed, the game state transitions to the predetermined game state. Increases interest and improvement. Even in this case, expectation can be further enhanced by setting to blink at high speed. In this embodiment, the effect display is performed as described above by the light guide plate 1031. However, the face image of the character is displayed by the display device 4, and the headband image of the character is superimposed on the light guide plate 1031. It may be a light emitting display and is within the scope of the present invention.

In FIGS. 59 and 60, a predetermined light emission effect is given to the area indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031 by the light emission of each LED 1038 (in the present embodiment, this is referred to as third light emitting means) of the upper right substrate 1037c. Which indicates that.
In the present embodiment, a predetermined decorative image can be displayed on the first light emitting effect unit 1057 and the second light emitting effect unit 1105 described later in the right region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031. In addition, a reflection portion (in this embodiment, the reflection portion in this region is referred to as a third reflection portion) is formed. For example, in the present embodiment, the character “WARNING” is displayed by light emission, but the decoration image in this case may be a character or a predetermined character image. Moreover, you may comprise so that it may light-emit in a predetermined color so that the whole region of the 1st light emission production | presentation means 1057 and the 2nd light emission production | presentation means 1105 may be covered.

  In addition, for example, a predetermined light emission display effect can be performed by causing all or all of the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f or any one of the LEDs 1038 to emit light.

61 to 63 show a light guide plate by causing all the LEDs 1038 (referred to as fourth light emitting means in this embodiment) of the left upper substrate 1037d, left middle substrate 1037e, and left lower substrate 1037f to emit light. It shows that a predetermined light emission effect is applied to the entire area indicated by the hatched line 1031.
In the present embodiment, a reflection portion (in this embodiment, a lightning-like image can be displayed from the lower area of the game board toward the upper area in all areas indicated by diagonal lines of the light guide plate 1031. The reflective portion in this region is referred to as a fourth reflective portion).
Then, for example, a predetermined condition is set in the game, and a second movable effect combination 1213 to be described later moves to an appearance position (also referred to as a second position or another position), and a second movable effect combination storage unit 1313 is obtained. When a movable effect is made as if pierced, the LED 1038 below the left lower substrate 1037f emits light (flashes / lights) to the upper LED 1038 (FIG. 63A), and then the left middle substrate 1037e The lower LED 1038 emits light (flashes / lights) to the upper LED 1038 (FIG. 63 (b)), and then the lower LED 1038 on the left upper substrate 1037d emits light (flashes / lights) (FIG. 63). 63 (c)).
Thus, a lightning-like image is emitted (flashing / lighting) from the lower region to the upper region by the reflecting portion provided in the entire region of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIGS. 62 and 63). FIGS. 63A to 63C show a state in which light-emission images such as lightning gradually spread from the lower region to the upper region. This is expressed by lighting each LED 1038 in the order of the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the upper left substrate 1037a.
Further, after the LEDs 1038 on the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the upper left substrate 1037a are in a light emitting state (FIG. 63C), the LEDs 1038 below the left lower substrate 1037f are sequentially turned to the upper LEDs 1038. The LED 1038 under the left middle substrate 1037e is turned off sequentially from the lower LED 1038 to the upper LED 1038, and then the LED 1038 under the upper left substrate 1037a is turned off in turn to the upper LED 1038. You may make it perform the effect that an image becomes difficult to visually recognize in order.
Note that the LEDs 1038 on the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left upper substrate 1037d can simultaneously emit light (flash / light). In this way, the appearance of the second movable effect actor 1213 (movable effect) and the light emission effect display by the entire region of the light guide plate 1031 are provided together, thereby giving a surprise effect to the player. Can improve the interest. In other words, there is a development that is advantageous for the game by the production by the large appearance action in a certain direction of the second movable production actor 1213 and the light emission display production from the direction opposite to the appearance direction. It is possible to make the player feel a sense of heels.
Although a detailed description is omitted in this embodiment, when a game ball enters the start winning opening 1009 and a game ball is detected by a sensor (not shown), a random number value is extracted. . Based on the extracted random number value, the symbol display device (not shown) displays the symbol in a predetermined manner and then stops and displays it in a predetermined manner.
As a mode of the symbols that are stopped and displayed in the symbol display device, a jackpot mode that is stopped when the extracted random number value is a predetermined specific random value and a stoppage that is displayed when the extracted random number is not a specific random value. There is a losing aspect. When stopped and displayed in the big win mode, the big winning opening 1011 is in an open state, and the game ball shifts to a so-called jackpot game state in which a game ball can easily enter. Then, it is possible to perform the effects as described above during the symbol variation display in the symbol display device. For example, when the symbol is stopped and displayed in a lost manner, the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 63A is a selection rate of 8/10, and the effect of light emission display until the state of FIG. 63B is 2 / When the selection rate of 10 and the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 63 (c) is 0/10 selection rate, and the symbol is stopped and displayed in the big win mode, the light emission display is performed up to the state of FIG. 63 (a). The selection rate is 1/10 for the effect, the selection rate is 4/10 for the effect displayed until the state shown in FIG. 63 (b), and the selection rate is 5/10 for the effect displayed for the state shown in FIG. 63 (c). As such, the degree of expectation that is stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode may be different for each effect to be executed.

64 and 65, each LED 1038 on the left upper substrate 1037d (this is referred to as a fifth light emitting unit in the present embodiment) emits light, thereby causing predetermined light emission to the upper region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031 ( (Blinking / lighting) indicates that an effect will be given.
In the present embodiment, a reflective portion (in this embodiment, a reflective portion in this region) is displayed on the upper region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031 so that a predetermined decorative image (a predetermined character image or the like) can be displayed. Is referred to as a fifth reflecting portion). The decoration image in this case may be a character or another character image.
In addition, an image (for example, a headband) that overlaps with the image (first image 1051 of the character) on the cell sheet 1049 shown in FIG. 66 and forms one image (an image in which the character is winding a headband, see FIG. 66C). In order to display the first image 1051) in a light emitting manner, a predetermined reflecting portion may be provided at a predetermined position of the light guide plate 1031 so that this one character image is simultaneously displayed in a light emitting effect.
As described above, only the upper area is displayed with the light emission effect, so that it is possible to make the player think that the effect is a special effect, and the interest can be improved.

  The upper left substrate 1037a, the upper middle substrate 1037b, the upper right substrate 1037c, the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f are caused to emit light at the same time, so that the entire region of the light guide plate 1031 has a predetermined area. It is also possible to perform a light effect display. By making all these light-emitting means emit light, all the light-emitting display effects partially overlap, and a flashy light-emitting effect can be performed. Therefore, it is expected that the entertainment will be improved by an unprecedented light-emitting effect.

Furthermore, a predetermined light emission display effect is performed by arbitrarily combining the light emitting means of the upper left substrate 1037a, the upper middle substrate 1037b, the upper right substrate 1037c, the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f. Is possible and within the scope of the present invention.
In addition, by displaying all the LEDs to emit light and displaying two layers of light emission and the LED on the left upper substrate 1037a, the torch image is emitted and displayed, and the cell character in the headband has a torch. Various effects may be displayed.

In the present embodiment, a light incident portion (light incident lens portion) 1047 is provided in the vicinity of each LED 1038, and light from each LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 is guided through the light incident portion (light incident lens portion) 1047. The optical plate 1031 is configured to be able to enter from each end face 1031a with certainty (see FIGS. 53 and 54).
The shape and location of the light incident portion (light incident lens portion) 1047 have a configuration that allows the light from each LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 to be reliably incident from each end face 1031a of the light guide plate 1031 without spreading. The design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the light guides are disposed on the respective end surfaces 1031a of the light guide plate 1031 and on the upper side or side thereof. 1037 are juxtaposed.

The discharge area 1035 is provided at the lower end of the light guide plate 1031 in a smaller number than the plurality of passage areas (general winning opening 1013), and in this embodiment, it is a single discharge area (discharge opening) (FIG. 53).
As a result, only one region for disposing the discharge region (discharge port) formed on the light guide plate 1031 is sufficient. Further, since a space for securing the discharge area in the light guide plate 1031 may be small, a wide light emitting display area in the light guide plate 1031 can be secured, which is very effective.

<Cell sheet configuration>
The cell sheet 1049 is provided on the back side of the light guide plate 1031 and displays a predetermined image (see FIG. 66).
For example, in the present embodiment, the second image 1053 corresponds to the second image 1053 at a position at least partially overlapping the image (the second image 1053 provided on the light guide plate) that emits light when the light guide plate 1031 emits light. The image (first image 1051) is displayed on the cell sheet 1049.

That is, for example, in this embodiment, the face (first image 1051) of the character is displayed on the cell sheet 1049, and even when the LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 provided in the light guide plate 1031 is not emitting light. The face of the character (first image 1051) is displayed so as to be visible to the player. The light guide plate 1031 is formed with a reflective portion corresponding to a headband image (second image 1053) that is displayed in a light-emitting manner at a position overlapping the character's face (first image 1051) when the LED 1038 emits light. .
Thus, when the LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 provided in the light guide plate 1031 is not emitting light, only the character face (first image 1051) without the headband (second image 1053) is displayed, and each LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 is displayed. At the time of light emission, the face (first image 1051) of the character wearing the headband (second image 1053) is displayed in a light-emitting manner, and an effect display with different images is performed at the time of light emission and at the time of non-light emission.
As described above, since different images are emitted and displayed to the player depending on whether light is emitted or not, the player's interest is improved.

<Back box configuration>

In this embodiment, it is formed in the hollow cylinder shape provided with the cylindrical protrusion part 1075 which expanded (projected) toward the back from the peripheral part of the front surface (plane part) 1073 (FIG. 67, FIG. 69). And FIG. 70).

The inner lens member 1077 has a light guiding property and is formed in a shape that can be fitted to the inner surface of the lens member 1071. In this embodiment, the inner lens member 1077 is smaller than the lens member 1071 and has an inner surface of the lens member 1071. It has an outer surface form that can be fitted to. In the present embodiment, an annular skirt portion 1081 having a larger diameter than the front lens portion 1079 is provided, and the front lens portion 1079 and the annular skirt portion 1081 are integrally connected by an inclined peripheral surface 1083. It forms in the hollow cylinder shape which becomes (refer FIG. 67 thru | or FIG. 70).
In the present embodiment, a plurality of cutout portions (slits) 1085 formed in an elongated shape in a predetermined region of the peripheral surface 1083 are provided.
This notch (slit) 1085 reflects and diffuses the light emitted from the light emitting means to efficiently emit light outward from the notch (slit) 1085, so that the notch (slit) 1085 is emitted. A predetermined unevenness processing (zigzag processing) 1087 is applied to the inner surface.
In addition, the inner lens member 1077 is subjected to a predetermined unevenness processing (gray processing) 1089 on the inner surface side of the front lens portion 1079. The concavo-convex processing 1089 on the inner surface side of the front lens portion 1079 can efficiently emit the light irradiated from the light emitting means to the front lens portion 1079 by reflecting and diffusing the light.

  The sheet member 1091 is a thin-walled sheet member that diffuses the light from the light emitting means, and a predetermined character, design, or the like is emitted and displayed by a predetermined color of the light emitting means (see FIG. 67). In this embodiment, a predetermined character (first character) is emitted and displayed from the front lens unit 1079 by the light emission of the red LED, and a predetermined character (second character) different from the first character by the light emission of the blue LED. As a light-emitting display of characters, the production and decoration effects are improved. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by changing the display visible to the player as the game progresses.

  The reflector (reflecting member) 1093 is formed in a predetermined shape, and in this embodiment is an octagonal annular member having a predetermined thickness, and is semicircular toward the inner side (inner peripheral side) at the opposite location. A protruding portion 1095 (a concave portion recessed in a semicircular shape when viewed from the outer periphery side) 1095 is formed (see FIGS. 67, 69 and 70).

  In this embodiment, the light emitting means is assumed to be an LED 1099 provided on the front side of an LED substrate (light emitting means mounting substrate) 1097 and an LED 1101 provided on the back side. The LED substrate (light emitting means mounting substrate) 1097 is disposed on the back side of the reflector (reflecting member) 1093, the front side of the LED substrate 1097 is in contact with the reflector (reflecting member) 1093, and the LED 1099 on the front side is The annular reflector (reflecting member) 1093 enters the inside (see FIGS. 67 to 70).

The front LED 1099 emits side light and irradiates predetermined light toward the inner side opposite to the reflector (reflecting member) 1093 on the outer side of the LED 1099. The light is incident upon a predetermined unevenness processing (gear processing) 1089 provided on the inner surface side of the lens member 1077, and the front direction of the front lens portion 1079 is emitted and displayed (the arrow in the figure indicates the irradiation direction. See FIG. 70). ).
In addition, the light emitted from the front LED 1099 may be reflected and diffused at a predetermined position of a reflector (reflecting member) 1093 formed in an annular shape, so that the light is diffusely reflected toward the front lens unit 1079. In the diffused state, the light enters the front lens portion 1079 of the inner lens member 1077 and produces a light emission effect with a spread.

  Further, according to this embodiment, the front LED 1099 is disposed inside the reflector (reflecting member) 1093, and the reflector (reflecting member) 1093 surrounds all the LEDs 1099 on the front. Therefore, the light emitted from the front LED 1099 is difficult to leak to the back side of the LED substrate 1097.

The LED 1101 on the back side emits side light similarly to the LED 1099 on the front side, but the light emission direction is different from the LED 1099 on the front side and faces outward (see FIGS. 69 and 70).
Therefore, the light emitted from the side is irradiated toward the inner peripheral surface of the inner lens member 1077 and guided to the inner lens member 1077 having light guiding properties, but there is also light that is reflected, and the reflected light is The light is emitted from the notch (slit) 1085 toward the protrusion (circumferential surface) 1075 of the lens member 1071, guided to the protrusion 1075, and passed through the peripheral notch (slit) 1069 of the exterior member 1059. The light is guided outward (in the figure, the arrow indicates the irradiation direction, see FIG. 65). At this time, the light irradiated by the predetermined uneven | corrugated process (gray process) 1087 given to the inner surface of the notch part 1085 of the inner lens member 1077 is diffused.

It is configured to rotate clockwise from the position in the game area direction to the appearance position 1147. In the present embodiment, the first movable effect actor 1143 is located on the back side of the board surface of the game board 1 at the initial position 1145 and is difficult to see from the player side (see FIG. 42). .

  In this embodiment, for example, the exterior member 1153 has a front form of a blade, and is constituted by a front member 1155 and a back member 1157 formed of a non-permeable material (FIGS. 78 and 79).

  The driving means (motor) 1159 is fixedly disposed in a lower region on the back side of the back decoration member 1151, and causes the rotation shaft to protrude to the front side of the back decoration member 1151, and the motor gear 1161 on the front side. Is attached. The motor gear 1161 is configured to be able to rotate in the forward and reverse directions according to the forward and reverse rotation operations of the drive means (motor) 1159 (see FIGS. 78 and 79).

The transmission mechanism 1163 includes a first gear 1177, a second gear 1183, a third gear 1185, a conversion mechanism 1193, and a slide shaft member 1167 (see FIGS. 78 to 82). .
The slide shaft member 1167 attaches and fixes the bearing portion 1169 to the back side of the front decorative member 1149, and attaches and fixes the front and rear ends 1173 and 1175 of the slide shaft 1171 to the back side of the back member 1157 of the exterior member 1153, respectively. As a result, the slide shaft 1171 slidably held on the bearing portion 1169 moves up and down, so that the exterior member 1153 can be slidably moved (expanded / contracted) with respect to the front decoration member 1149 (FIGS. 78 to 78). 80).

The first gear (slide relay large gear) 1177 has a diameter larger than that of the motor gear 1161 and includes a region 1179 having no gear teeth in a circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface. The motor gear of the driving unit 1161 It is configured to engage with 1161 and to rotate in forward and reverse directions upon receiving a rotational motion from the driving means 1159. That is, the first gear 1177 employs a so-called toothless gear, and the motor gear 1161 is arranged to mesh with a region 1181 having gear teeth over the entire circumferential direction of the first gear 1177 (FIG. 78, 79, 81, and 82).
The first gear 1177 is pivotally supported by a shaft member 1152 projecting from the front side of the back decorative member 1151.

The second gear (slide large gear) 1183 has a smaller diameter than the first gear 1177 and meshes with a region 1181 having gear teeth over the entire circumferential direction of the first gear 1177 to rotate in the forward and reverse directions. It is arranged to be operable.
For example, according to the present embodiment, an annular fitting tube portion 1185b protruding to one side of the circumferential surface of a third gear (missing gear) 1185 described later is slidably fitted to the inner surface of the second gear 1183. A third gear 1185 is provided on the back side of the front decoration member 1149 (see FIGS. 78, 79, 81, and 82).

  The third gear (missed gear) 1185 has a smaller diameter than the first gear 1177 and is substantially the same diameter as the second gear 1183, and the gear teeth of the first gear 1177. A region 1187 having gear teeth meshing with the first gear 1177 and a region 1179 having no gear teeth corresponding to the region 1179 having no gear teeth of the first gear 1177 are provided in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface. Missing gears are used.

  The region 1189 having no gear teeth is provided with a protrusion, and the tip end surface 1191 of the protrusion is configured to contact the peripheral surface region 1179 having no gear teeth of the first gear 1177. (See FIGS. 78, 79, 81 and 82). That is, in this embodiment, the height of the tip end surface 1191 of the protrusion is set to the same height as the tip of the gear teeth in the region 1187 having the gear teeth. The gear teeth of the region 1187 having gear teeth may be different from the height of the front end surface 1191 as long as the gear teeth mesh with the gear teeth of the first gear 1177 and can transmit the rotation operation.

  The third gear 1185 has an annular fitting tube portion 1185b protruding to one side of the peripheral surface slidably attached to the inner surface of the second gear 1183, and the side on which the fitting tube portion 1185b is provided. A plurality of protrusions 1185a projecting on one surface are fitted into recesses (not shown) provided on the first member 1149a of the front decoration member 1149, and are rotated together with the first member 1149a (circulation) I am going to do it. A shaft hole 1185c is provided at the center of the plate of the third gear 1185, and the shaft member 1150 provided in the first member 1149a is inserted into the shaft hole 1185c (FIGS. 78 and 79). reference)

Since the second gear 1183 is only slidably attached to the fitting cylinder portion 1185b of the third gear 1185, it does not rotate with the first member 1149a.
Similar to the second gear 1183, it is rotatably supported on a shaft member 1150 that is provided on the back side of the front decorative member 1149.

  The conversion mechanism 1193 has a configuration capable of converting the forward / reverse rotation operation of the second gear 1183 into a rectilinear operation and moving the movable effect accessory 1143 forward / backward. A large number of gear groups (also referred to as slide relay gear groups, in this embodiment, seven gears 1195a, 1195b, and 1195c) sequentially meshed from the lowermost gear 1195a meshing with the gear 1183 to the uppermost gear 1195g. , 1195d, 1195e, 1195f, and 1195g), a pinion gear 1197 that is formed side by side and synchronized with the uppermost gear 1195g of the gear group, and a rack member (sliding rack) 1201 with which the pinion gear 1197 meshes. (See FIGS. 78 and 79).

In the drawings, the gear groups (1195a, 1195b, 1195c, 1195d, 1195e, 1195f, 1195g) are disclosed in a floating state so that they can be easily seen. Respective gears (1195a, 1195b, 1195c, 1195d, 1195e, 1195f, 1195g) are rotatably provided on the shaft member projecting on the back side.
The rack member 1201 is attached and fixed to the back surface of the back member 1157 of the exterior member 1153. Although the pinion gear 1197 is disclosed in parallel with the uppermost gear 1195g in the drawing for explanation, it is necessary to mesh with the rack member 1201 fixed to the back member 1157 of the exterior member 1153. Actually, the first member 1149a is located on the front side through the slide groove 1149c.

Here, the operation of the first movable effect combination 1143 will be briefly described.
In the first movable director 1143, a region 1181 having the gear teeth of the second gear 1183 and a region 1187 having the gear teeth of the third gear 1185 are regions 1181 having the gear teeth of the first gear 1177. 42, 44 to 46 so that the blade shape of the exterior member 1153 is positioned in the vertical direction on the left back side of the gaming board 1 when viewed from the front side of the gaming machine as shown in FIGS. It is arranged. This state is the initial position 1145 in the first movable effect combination 1143.

Then, the gear teeth of the third gear 1185 mesh with the gear teeth of the first gear 1177, and the rotational movement of the driving means 1159 in the forward rotation direction is transmitted to the third gear 1185. By this, the first movable effect item 1143 (the exterior member 1153 and the front decoration member 1149) rotates from the initial position 1145 toward the center of the game area of the game board 1 so that it can be easily seen by the player. It protrudes (see FIGS. 45, 76 and 77). Thus, the state of rotating and projecting toward the game area of the game board 1 is the appearance position 1147 in the first movable effect combination 1143.
In FIG. 77, while the movable state of the 1st movable production | presentation actor 1143 is shown as a continuous line, the extended state (state advanced ahead diagonally upward) is shown with a virtual line. In addition, it is easy to visually recognize the state in which the first movable effect actor 1143 rotates and projects in the game area direction (indicated by a solid line) and further extends (indicated by an imaginary line) from the player. In this state, the appearance position 1147 is used.

The second gear 1183 that meshes with the gear teeth of the first gear 1177 simultaneously with the third gear 1185 and rotates in the forward direction rotates the rotation mechanism of the drive unit 1159 in the forward direction. The pinion gear 1197 that is engaged with the rack member 1201 operates in the direction of extending the exterior member 1153 that is integrated with the rack member 1201. When the region 1189 having no gear teeth of the third gear 1185 is opposed to the region 1181 having no gear teeth of the first gear 1177, the third gear 1185 has gear teeth. Since the region 1189 (protrusion leading end surface 1191) that is not moved moves while contacting the region 1181 that does not have the gear teeth of the first gear 1177, the first movable effect accessory 1143 (exterior member 1153) Is maintained at the appearance position 1147, and the turning motion transmitted from the second gear 1183 is converted into a straight-ahead motion by the conversion mechanism 1193, so that the first movable effect accessory 1143 moves in the extending direction.
Then, after stopping at the appearance position for a certain time, the driving means 1159 is rotated in the reverse direction to rotate the motor gear 1161, the second gear 1183, the third gear 1185, and the gear group 1195a constituting the conversion mechanism 1193, the pinion gear 1197, and The counter-rotating operation is transmitted to the rack member 1201 to operate the first movable effect actor 1143 in a contracting direction and to rotate to return to the initial position 1145.

Further, in the present embodiment, the locking protrusion 1203 integrally protruding on the back side of the back cover member 1199 is provided on the back side of the back decoration member 1151 via the curved slide long groove 1205 provided on the back decoration member 1151. And the other end of a predetermined spring member 1207 provided with one end locked to the back side of the back decorative member is locked to the protruding locking protrusion 1203 so that the exterior member 1153 is always provided. The front decoration member 1149 is urged so as to return to the initial position (see FIG. 80).
In addition, the 1st movable production | presentation actor 1143 rotates between the initial position 1145 and the appearance position 1147 by the drive means 1159 and the transmission mechanism 1163, and the spring member 1207 is the appearance position 1147 to the last. The spring force is such that it functions to assist the turning operation to return to the initial position 1145.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a photo sensor 1209 is provided on the front side of the back decoration member 1151, and a projecting piece (not shown) protruding on the back side of the back cover member 1199 is detected to detect the first movable effect. The initial position 1145 and appearance position 1147 of the accessory 1143 can be recognized. For example, when a projecting piece (not shown) is detected by the photo sensor 1209, the photo sensor 1209 recognizes that the projecting piece 1145 is at the initial position 1145, and rotates to detect the projecting piece (not shown) from the photo sensor 1209. When it disappears, it recognizes that it is in the appearance position 1147, and after recognizing that it is in the appearance position 1147, a signal is sent to the sub-control board to reversely rotate the driving means 1159 after a predetermined time has passed.

Here, the light emission effect display form of the 1st movable effect part 1143 in this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the present embodiment, the first movable effect actor 1143 emits some of the LEDs 1038 disposed at predetermined positions of the light guide plate 1031 before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving. By performing the light emission display (light emission display of a specific image), it is notified that there is a possibility that the first movable effect actor 1143 may move to a predetermined position. This can give the player a sense of expectation that it may move (appear).
For example, as described in the above 0240, when a predetermined condition is established in the game and the first movable effect actor 1143 is moved, before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving, Then, a part of the LEDs 1038 of the upper left substrate 1037a is caused to emit light (flashing / lighting). Accordingly, the first movable effect is provided by the reflecting portion provided in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 corresponding to the position (the region indicated by the oblique line on the left side in FIG. 55) where the first movable effect actor 1143 is disposed. Since the blade image 1143a having the same shape as the accessory 1143 is displayed in a light emission (flashing / lighting) effect in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIG. 56), the first movable effect accessory 1143 reaches the predetermined position. It is supposed to notify that there is a possibility of moving. This can give the player a sense of expectation that it may move (appear).
It is also possible to adopt a mode in which the first movable effect accessory 1143 is moved in the left-right direction in small increments when a part of the LEDs 1038 of the upper left substrate 1037a emits light (flashes / lights).
In the present embodiment, after the light-emitting display of the light guide plate 1031, the first movable effect actor 1143 moves to a predetermined position or does not move to a predetermined position, but always moves to a predetermined position. It is also possible to make it not to move.

Further, in association with (in conjunction with) the movement of the first movable effect actor 1143 from the first position (initial position) 1145 to the second position (appearance position) 1147, a predetermined amount of the light guide plate 1031 is determined. It is also possible to cause the LED 1038 disposed at the position to emit light and to display a predetermined image (also referred to as a third image or one image) on the light guide plate 1031 through the first reflecting portion. For example, when the first movable director 1143 is moved to the second position (appearance position) 1147, the LED 1038 of the predetermined LED substrate 1037 (for example, the upper middle substrate 1037b) of the light guide plate 1031 is caused to emit light and guided. By a predetermined reflecting portion (first reflecting portion) provided in a predetermined region of the light plate 1031, a light emitting effect (third image or one image) as if light is emitted from the first movable effect member 1143 is applied. It is also possible (see FIG. 76). In order to emit light emitted from the first movable effect member 1143, it is also possible to produce a light emission effect by combining the first image provided on the cell sheet 1051 and the second image provided on the light guide plate 1031. .
The light-emitting display image that is notified before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving and the light-emitting display image that is displayed based on the movement are not particularly limited, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. .

  The projecting member 1547 includes a main body 1551 formed of a transparent member in a predetermined flat blade shape, a light introducing portion 1553 that projects integrally with the lower end of the main body 1551, a spring mounting portion 1555 that projects, and the spring A spring end locking portion 1558 is provided on the front side of the lower end of the main body 1551 adjacent to the attachment portion 1555, and is formed in a cylindrical shape on the back side of the main body 1551, and is formed on the annular guide surface 1563. A sliding guide surface sliding portion 1557 is provided (see FIGS. 105 to 107). The spring mounting portion 1555 is provided so as to protrude over the front surface and the rear surface of the main body 1551 of the protruding member 1547.

The projecting member 1547 performs a movable effect of moving around the rotation base 1535, and the projecting member 1547 itself receives light from the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543 through the light introducing portion 1553, thereby producing a light emitting effect. It also functions as a lens unit to perform.
The light introducing portion 1553 is formed in a substantially quarter-spherical shape, and is disposed so that the concave inner surface side faces the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543.
An annular reflector 1545 provided in close contact with the LED substrate 1543 is interposed between the LED substrate 1542 and the light introducing portion 1553, and the reflector 1545 includes a concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 and the light introducing portion 1553. A recessed portion 1545a is formed at a position facing the LED 1542 coaxially and with the concave inner surface and the LED 1542 in alignment with each other (see FIG. 110).
When the main body 1551 of the projecting member 1547 is positioned at the appearance position 1548, the light introducing portion 1553 is set so as to correspond to the LED 1542 of the light emitting means.

  Therefore, the light from the LED 1542 is emitted toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 to display the main body 1551 in a light emitting effect. Further, the light emitted from the LED 1542 is reflected and diffused by the concave inner surface, and is also applied to the surface portion of the main body 1551. At this time, since a predetermined lens cut 1551a is formed on the surface of the main body 1551, the irradiated light is reflected and diffused by the lens cut 1551a to produce a light emission effect on the entire main body 1551 (see FIG. 110). In addition, the reflector 1545 is provided with a recessed portion 1545a disposed coaxially with the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 and the LED 1542 so as to be aligned with the opening of the concave inner surface and the LED 1542, respectively. Light from the LED 1542 can be irradiated without being diffused toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 by the hollow portion 1545a. Further, when the protruding member 1547 is housed and positioned in the retracted position 1546 (a gap 1577 described later), the light introducing portion 1553 is not in the corresponding position. Although not limited in particular, it is also possible to provide more LEDs so that the protruding member 1547 can cope with any position.

The guide base 1561 is provided on the front surface of the base board 1561a in a concave shape with a first position 1565 provided in a circumferential direction of a predetermined length and the first position 1565 and having a smaller diameter than the first position 1565. An annular guide surface (guide portion) 1563 provided alternately with the second position 1567 in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface protrudes forward (see FIGS. 102, 106 to 108).
For example, in the present embodiment, the annular guide surface 1563 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the outer periphery of the base board 1561a, the second positions 1567 are provided in a concave shape at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the annular guide surface 1563, and the second position Guide surfaces other than 1567 are set as the first position 1565.
The second position 1567 is recessed in a circular shape from one end of the first position 1565 when viewed from the front, and is gently connected to the adjacent first position 1565 via a gentle curved surface 1569.

Further, in a substantially central region of the front surface of the base board 1561a of the guide base 1561, a first cylindrical portion 1571 protruding forward from the annular guide surface 1563 and a substantially central region of the first cylindrical portion 1571 are provided. The second cylindrical portion 1573 having a smaller diameter than the first cylindrical portion 1571 is provided. The second cylindrical portion 1573 is inserted through the through holes provided at the centers of the LED substrate 1543, the substrate cover 1539, and the substrate cover 1539, and then the shaft bush 1540 is attached to the tip thereof. A shaft member 1535a protruding from the back surface of the rotation base 1535 is inserted into the shaft bush 1540 and protrudes to the back surface side of the guide base 1561 (see FIG. 106). The protruding end of the shaft member 1535a is connected to a transmission gear 1575 so that the rotation operation of the drive gear 1579 is transmitted to the rotation base 1535.
An annular gap 1577 is formed between the front surface of the guide base 1561 and the back surface of the rotary base 1535 with the width of the tip of the first cylindrical portion 1571 (tip surface excluding the second cylindrical portion 1573). (See FIG. 106). This gap 1577 functions as a retracted position 1546 that is difficult to visually recognize when the protruding member 1547 is positioned at the second position 1567 (see FIGS. 102 and 106).

The rotating shaft base 1559 is integrally attached to the rotating base 1535 by screwing, and is formed in an annular shape so as to be slidably attached to the outer periphery of an annular guide surface 1563 provided on the guide base 1561, and the spring A winding portion of a spring 1549 is fitted around the mounting portion 1555, and the spring mounting portion 1555 is rotatably attached to the end surface 1559 a of the rotating shaft base 1559.
Then, the other end (free end) of the spring 1549 is locked to a spring end locking portion 1558 protruding from the front end surface of the protruding member 1547.
In this manner, the protruding member 1547 is rotatably attached to the rotating shaft base 1559, and the guide surface sliding portion 1557 slides on the peripheral surface of the annular guide surface 1563 when fitted on the annular guide surface 1563. Arrange for possible.
At this time, the spring force of the spring 1549 is biased in the direction in which the main body 1551 is accommodated in the gap 1577 between the rotating shaft base 1559 and the guide base 1561 (see FIGS. 102 to 104).

Therefore, when the driving unit (motor) 1523 is rotated, the rotation operation of the gear (motor gear) 1579 provided in the driving unit (motor) 1523 is transmitted to the transmission gear 1575.
The rotation operation transmitted from the transmission gear 1575 is transmitted to the rotation base 1535 via a shaft member 1535a formed by fixing the transmission gear 1575 to one end. As a result, the rotating shaft base 1559 attached integrally with the rotating base 1535 rotates, so that the guide surface sliding portion 1557 of the projecting member 1547 provided on the rotating shaft base 1559 is It will slide on the outer periphery in a predetermined direction.
The protruding member 1547 is easily visible against the urging of the elastic member (spring) 1549 when the guide surface sliding portion 1557 is positioned at the first position 1565 of the annular guide surface 1563 by the rotation operation. The main body 1551 protrudes from the appearance position 1548 (see FIG. 107).
When the guide surface sliding portion 1557 reaches the second position 1567 of the annular guide surface 1563 by moving in the rotational direction (the direction indicated by the symbol R1 in FIG. 107), the force of the elastic member (spring) 1549 The guide surface sliding portion 1557 falls to the second position 1567. Due to the dropping operation, the projecting member 1547 is rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction (the retraction direction indicated by reference numeral R2 in FIG. 107) by the force of the spring 1549, and is accommodated in the retraction position 1546 (the gap 1577) that is difficult to see. To do. Thereafter, the guide surface sliding portion 1557 slides on the gentle curved surface 1569 and is positioned at the adjacent first position 1565. Thus, when the protruding member 1547 reaches the first position 1565 via the guide surface sliding portion 1557, the protruding member 1547 protrudes and is positioned at an easily visible appearance position 1548. This operation is repeated by the rotation operation, and the protruding member 1547 moves alternately between the first position 1565 and the second position 1567.

  With this configuration, the movable member 1531 moved from the retracted position (initial position) 1546 to the appearance position 1548 is rotated in a predetermined direction by the driving means (motor) 1523 at the appearance position 1548 and the LED 1541 is operated. And 1542, the front side of the movable member 1531 and the protruding member 1547 emit light. More specifically, the protruding member 1547 is a transparent member formed in a predetermined flat blade shape, and has a light introducing portion 1553 at the lower end. The protruding inner surface side of the protruding member 1547 is the first position. Since the LED 1542 is disposed so as to face the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543 when it is located at 1565 and is in the protruding state (the states of FIGS. 107 and 110), the light from the LED 1542 is Irradiated toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553, the main body 1551 is displayed as a light emission effect.

In addition, the light emitted from the LED 1542 is reflected and diffused by the concave inner surface and is also irradiated to the surface portion of the main body 1551. Since the predetermined lens cut 1551a is formed on the surface of the main body 1551, the irradiated light is Reflected and diffused by the lens cut 1551a, the entire body 1551 produces a light emission effect (see FIG. 110).
Note that when the protruding member 1547 is accommodated in the retracted position 1546 (the gap 1577), the light introducing portion 1553 is not in a position corresponding to the LED 1542.
In addition, a large number of LEDs 1541 are provided on the front side of the LED substrate 1543, each of which performs a predetermined issuance effect according to the setting, and emits an annular ornament 1537 and a decorative member 1533 through the rotation base 1535. At this time, the LED 1541 is provided at a position corresponding to a decorative display portion 1538 that is integrally formed from the annular ornament 1537 and arranged in parallel below the decorative member 1533 together with a light emitting effect in the front direction by a large number of LEDs 1541. . Therefore, if a predetermined character design, character name, or the like is displayed on the decoration display unit 1538, a predetermined light emission effect is achieved when the light from the LED 1541 is irradiated.
Although not limited in particular, it is also possible to provide more LEDs so that the protruding member 1547 can cope with any position.
