A screen (for example, a front screen mechanism E1 and a reel screen mechanism F1) capable of displaying an image projected by the projector;
A driving mechanism for driving the screen (for example, a front screen driving mechanism E2 and a reel screen driving mechanism F2);
A main body having an opening on the front surface (for example, cabinet G);
An openable / closable door (for example, an upper door mechanism UD) provided with a display area (for example, an upper display window UD1) that is attached to the main body portion so as to be openable and closable,
As the drive mechanism, a right drive mechanism (for example, a right front screen drive mechanism E2B and a reel screen drive mechanism F2) disposed on the right side of the screen, and a left drive mechanism (for example, a left drive mechanism disposed on the left side of the screen). A front screen drive mechanism E2A) is provided,
A cover member (for example, an inner frame 7000) for making it difficult for a player to visually recognize the right drive mechanism and the left drive mechanism is attached to the back side of the open / close door.
The covering member includes a right side portion (for example, the right side portion 7001) and a left side portion (for example, the left side portion 7002) extending in the vertical direction, and a lower side that connects the lower portion of the right side portion and the lower portion of the left side portion. Part (for example, lower part 7003),
When the open / close door is closed with respect to the main body portion, the right side portion (for example, the right side portion 7001) causes the right side drive mechanism (for example, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the reel screen drive mechanism F2) to move. The left side part (for example, the left side part 7002) covers the left side driving mechanism (for example, the left front screen driving mechanism E2A) from the front side.
A gaming machine characterized by that.

  According to the invention of (1), as the drive mechanism for driving the screen, the right drive mechanism is disposed on the right side of the screen and the left drive mechanism is disposed on the left side of the screen. If such a drive mechanism is visually recognized by the player, there is a concern that the player will be distracted by the drive mechanism and it will be difficult to watch the effect.

  In this regard, according to the invention of (1), the covering member is attached to the back side of the door. The covering member includes a right side portion and a left side portion extending in the up-down direction, and a lower side portion connecting the lower portion of the right side portion and the lower portion of the left side portion. When the door is closed with respect to the main body, the right side covers the right drive mechanism from the front, and the left side covers the left drive mechanism from the front. As a result, it is possible to prevent the right side drive mechanism and the left side drive mechanism from being visually recognized by the player, and the player can watch the effect.

  Furthermore, according to the invention of (1), it is possible to prevent the goto action at the same time as achieving the above effects. In other words, if there is a space where a wire-shaped instrument can enter into the gaming machine, there is a possibility that various devices existing inside the gaming machine will be illegally accessed through the space. There is a concern that gaming media may be illegally acquired due to such a gothic act. In this respect, the covering member has a right side portion, a left side portion, and a lower side portion, and the right side portion and the left side portion can prevent unauthorized access to the rear of the gaming machine, and the lower side portion can play a gaming machine. Can prevent unauthorized access downward. Thus, the cover member has the function of preventing the goto action as well as the function of hiding the drive mechanism.

(2) The gaming machine of (1),
A partition plate (for example, an intermediate support plate G1) that partitions the interior of the main body into an upper space and a lower space;
The screen and the drive mechanism are disposed in the upper space,
In the lower space, a control board (for example, a main control board MS or a sub-control board 2070) for controlling the game is disposed.
It is characterized by that.

  According to the invention of (2), the inside of the main body is partitioned into the upper space and the lower space by the partition plate, and the screen and the drive mechanism are arranged in the upper space. On the other hand, a control board for controlling the game is arranged in the lower space. As described above, the cover member is provided with the lower side portion that connects the lower portion of the right side portion and the lower portion of the left side portion. Due to the presence of the lower side portion, it is possible to block the path for allowing the wire-shaped instrument to enter the control board arranged in the lower space, and an illegal operation regarding the game control is performed. This can be prevented. In addition, if Goto teacher knows the installation location of the control board, Goto acts are likely to be performed, but due to the presence of the lower side, the lower space is difficult to see from the outside of the gaming machine Yes. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the installation location of the control board from being grasped by the Goto teacher, and it is possible to prevent the Goto action from being performed from such points.

(3) The gaming machine of (1) or (2),
The right side portion (for example, the right side portion 7001) and the left side portion (for example, the left side portion 7002) are respectively disposed on the front side of the gaming machine in a state where the opening / closing door is closed with respect to the main body portion. A first surface (for example, a first decorative surface 7001a and a first decorative surface 7002a), and a second surface (for example, a second decorative surface) formed so as to continue to the rear continuously with the first surface. 7001b and a second decorative surface 7002b).
It is characterized by that.

  According to the invention of (3), each of the right side and the left side has a first surface disposed on the front side of the gaming machine in a state where the open / close door is closed with respect to the main body. Therefore, when the gaming machine is viewed from the front, the right drive mechanism is overlapped with the first surface on the right side, and the left drive mechanism is overlapped with the first surface on the left side. That is, the right drive mechanism is covered from the front by the first surface on the right side, and the left drive mechanism is covered from the front by the first surface on the left side. Thereby, it can prevent that a right side drive mechanism and a left side drive mechanism are visually recognized from a player.

  Further, according to the invention of (3), the right side portion and the left side portion are respectively formed so as to be directed rearward from the first surface in a state where the open / close door is closed with respect to the main body portion. A second surface. Therefore, when the gaming machine is viewed obliquely from the front, the right drive mechanism and the left drive mechanism are hidden behind the second surface in addition to the first surface and are difficult to enter the field of view. Thereby, it can prevent effectively that a right side drive mechanism and a left side drive mechanism are visually recognized from a player.

  According to the present invention, in a gaming machine equipped with an effect device having a movable body, it is possible for a player to watch the effect.

A lens mechanism B21 and a light source (not shown) are provided on the lower surface of the base member B22. The lens mechanism B21 is disposed so as to emit the irradiation light emitted from the light source toward the front mirror mechanism B3.

  Further, heat exhaust mechanisms B23 and B24 are provided on the lower surface of the base member B22. The heat removal mechanisms B23 and B24 are disposed on the right and left sides of the lens mechanism B21 and the light source, respectively. The exhaust heat mechanisms B23 and B24 have a duct through which air is circulated and a fan that sends out air. By blowing out the air to the rear, the heat generated when the irradiation light is generated is forced to the rear. It is designed to flow. As shown in FIG. 2, vent holes 21 a of the cabinet 21 are arranged in the air flow direction in the heat removal mechanisms B <b> 23 and B <b> 24. As a result, the exhaust heat mechanisms B23 and B24 can forcibly exhaust the heat of the projector mechanism B2 together with air to the outside through the vent hole 21a.

(Display unit A: Irradiation light device B: Mirror mechanism B3)
As shown in FIG. 6, a mirror mechanism B3 is arranged in front of the projector mechanism B2 (in the direction of emission of irradiation light). As shown in FIG. 7, the mirror mechanism B3 has a mirror holder B31, an optical mirror B32 accommodated in the mirror holder B31, and mirror stoppers B33 and B34 for fixing both ends of the optical mirror B32 to the mirror holder B31. doing. As shown in FIG. 8, the mirror holder B31 is formed in a plate shape having a rectangular front surface. At each corner portion of the mirror holder B31, an angle adjustment hole B311 is formed, and a recess B312 is formed on the front surface with the angle adjustment hole B311 as a center. Further, mounting holes B314 and B314 are formed vertically symmetrically between the angle adjustment holes B311 and B311 in the vertical direction.

  On the other hand, a mirror holding part B313 is formed on the rear surface of the mirror holder B31. The mirror holding part B313 is formed in the center part, and is formed in a size that does not overlap with the angle adjustment hole B311 and the attachment hole B314. Mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the mirror holding part B313. The mirror stoppers B33 and B34 have angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 and attachment holes B334 and B344, respectively. The angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 and the attachment holes B334 and B344 in the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are arranged so as to correspond to the angle adjustment holes B311 and B311 and the attachment holes B314 and B314 in the mirror holder B31.

  The mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are formed so as to partially overlap the mirror holding part B313. As a result, the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 come into contact with both sides of the optical mirror B32 fitted in the mirror holding part B313 and are screwed to the mirror holder B31 by the mounting holes B314, B334, and B344. The optical mirror B32 is held by the mirror holder B31.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the mirror mechanism B3 configured as described above is provided on the inner side surface of the reflector holding portion B11 in the projector cover B1. The reflector holding portion B11 is formed at the center of the front surface of the projector cover B1, and is disposed so as to be exposed to the front side when the upper door mechanism UD is opened. The reflector holding part B11 has an angle adjustment hole B111. The angle adjustment hole B111 is formed at a position corresponding to the angle adjustment hole B311 of the mirror mechanism B3.

  A screw (not shown) is inserted from the front side into the angle adjustment hole B111 of the reflector holding part B11, and this screw passes through the angle adjustment hole B311 of the mirror holder B31. The angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 of the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are formed as screw holes into which screws can be screwed, and the screws that pass through the angle adjustment holes B311 of the mirror holder B31 are provided on the mirror stoppers B33 and B34. Screwed into the angle adjustment holes B331 and B341.

  When the screw is rotated in the direction in which the screwing with the angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 is loosened, the distance between the reflector holding portion B11 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 is increased. On the other hand, when the screw is rotated in a direction in which the screw engagement with the angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 is tightened, the distance between the reflector holding portion B11 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 is reduced.

  As described above, the mirror holder B31 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are screwed through the mounting holes B314, B334, and B344, so that the optical mirror is interposed between the mirror holder B31 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34. B32 is sandwiched. As described above, the mirror holder B31, the optical mirror B32, and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are integrated as a mirror mechanism B3, and the distance between the reflector holding portion B11 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 is changed by rotating the screw. Thus, the distance between the reflector holding part B11 and the mirror mechanism B3 can be increased or decreased. Since the angle adjustment holes B311, 331, and B341 are arranged in four directions corresponding to the corner portions of the mirror mechanism B3, the reflector holding portion B11 and the mirror mechanism at the arrangement positions of the angle adjustment holes B311, 331, and B341 are arranged. By increasing or decreasing the distance to B3, the reflection angle of the optical mirror B32 with respect to the traveling direction of the irradiation light emitted from the projector mechanism B2 can be finely adjusted.

  Further, a spring (not shown) is provided between the reflector holding part B11 and the mirror holder B31. The rear end surface of the spring is in contact with the recess B312 of the mirror holder B31, and the front end surface is in contact with the inner wall surface (rear wall surface) of the reflector holding unit B11, so that the reflector holding unit B11 and the mirror holder B31 Is sandwiched between. And the screw penetrated from angle adjustment hole B111 of reflector holding part B11 has penetrated the spring concerned. Thereby, even if the distance between the reflector holding part B11 and the mirror mechanism B3 increases with the rotation of the screw, the screw head comes into contact with the angle adjustment hole B111 of the reflector holding part B11 by the biasing force of the spring. It can be prevented that the screw head protrudes from the angle adjustment hole B111 and the positional relationship between the reflector holding portion B11 and the screw is destroyed.

(Display unit A: Irradiation light device B: Projector cover B1)
As shown in FIG. 10, the projector mechanism B2 and the mirror mechanism B3 configured as described above are accommodated in the projector cover B1. The projector cover B1 includes a horizontally disposed upper wall portion B12, a reflector holding portion B11 disposed on the front side of the upper wall portion B12, and side wall portions B13 and B13 disposed symmetrically in the left-right direction of the upper wall portion B12.

At the center of the front side of the upper wall portion B12, a reflector holding portion B11 is formed so as to protrude forward, and the above-described mirror mechanism B3 is held in the space formed by the protrusion so that the angle can be adjusted. .

  Moreover, side wall part B13 * B13 has the protrusion part B131 protruded in the horizontal direction from the lower end part. The protrusion B131 has a first protrusion B131a on the front side and a second protrusion B131b on the rear side. The first protrusion B131a is formed at a position corresponding to the opening of the cabinet 21 when the projector cover B1 is attached to the cabinet 21, and is set to a width slightly smaller than the width of the opening of the cabinet 21. Has been. On the other hand, the second protrusion B131b is formed at a position corresponding to the rear space from the opening of the cabinet 21 when the projector cover B1 is attached to the cabinet 21, and is larger than the width of the rear space. It is set to a slightly smaller width. That is, the side walls B13 and B13 are formed such that the width of the second protrusion B131b is wider than the width of the first protrusion B131a. Thereby, the projector cover B1 can cover most of the internal space in the cabinet 21.

  A perforated plate B15 having a plurality of holes B151 is provided on the lower surface side of the projector cover B1. The perforated plate B15 is a punching metal having a plurality of holes formed by punching a plate made of metal (for example, stainless steel, iron, steel, aluminum, etc.). The plurality of holes B151 are formed to be substantially evenly distributed over the entire surface of the porous plate B15. The perforated plate B15 allows air to flow through the entire surface of the perforated plate B15, and allows air to flow from the lower side to the upper side by suction by the heat exhausting mechanisms B23 and B24 of the projector mechanism B2. The size and the number of the holes B151 are set such that the inside of the projector cover B1 cannot be seen from the outside. The hole B151 is formed in a shape such as a circle, a square, or a hexagon, and the hole diameter is about 3 to 5 mm.

  The perforated plate B15 is formed so as to cover the first protrusion B131a and the second protrusion B131b of the projector cover B1 from the lower position. As shown in FIG. 12, the perforated plate B15 has a front side upper part B15a, a middle side inclined part B15b, and a rear side lower part B15c. The upper part B15a is horizontally arranged. The inclined part B15b is formed by being bent obliquely downward and rearward from the rear side of the upper part B15a. The lower part B15c is formed by being bent in the horizontal direction from the rear side of the inclined part B15b.

  The upper part B15a of the perforated plate B15 is attached to the side wall parts B13 and B13 of the projector cover B1. Thereby, the perforated plate B15 is arranged so as to cover the front part of the projector cover B1 from the lower side with the upper part B15a and cover the lower part with the inclined part B15b and the lower part B15c from the middle part to the rear part of the projector cover B1. Yes. As shown in FIG. 10, a front screen mechanism E1 in the screen device C is disposed below the perforated plate B15.

  As will be described in detail later, the front screen mechanism E1 has a front standby position that is disposed on the upper side that is a standby posture that prohibits the appearance of an image by irradiation light, and a lower side that is an exposure posture that permits the appearance of an image by irradiation light. The front screen mechanism E1 in the standby posture is in an inclined posture that is close to and substantially parallel to the inclined portion B15b of the perforated plate B15. On the other hand, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the exposed posture, a large space portion appears below the porous plate B15, and air present in the space portion reaches the porous plate B15 without flow resistance, By passing through the hole B151, it is possible to facilitate the inflow of air into the screen device C and increase the cooling efficiency.

  Further, the perforated plate B15 is provided so as to cover the lower surface of the projector cover B1, so that, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, the player's line-of-sight position is the center of the screen device C in the vertical and horizontal directions. Even if the irradiation light device B is looked up from the position of the line of sight, the inside of the irradiation light device B is not visually observed by the perforated plate B15.

(Display unit A: Screen device C)
As shown in FIG. 14, the irradiation light device B configured as described above is connected to the upper surface of the screen device C by screw fastening. Thereby, the display unit A can unitarily handle the irradiation light device B and the screen device C as a unit.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen casing C10)
The screen device C has a box-shaped screen casing C10. As shown also in FIG. 15, the screen casing C10 includes a horizontally disposed bottom plate C1, a right side plate C2 erected at the right end of the bottom plate C1, and a left side plate C3 erected at the left end of the bottom plate C1. And a back plate C4 erected at the rear end of the bottom plate C1. Accordingly, the right side plate C2, the left side plate C3, and the back plate C4 are connected to the bottom plate C1 by screw fastening, so that the front side where the player is located and the upper side where the irradiation light device B is located are formed. An open box-shaped screen casing C10 is formed.

  The bottom plate C1, the right side plate C2, the left side plate C3, and the back plate C4 constituting the screen casing C10 are independently formed in a predetermined shape, and a predetermined functional component such as a fixed screen mechanism D can be attached. Has been. As a result, even if the unit of the screen device C cannot be shared as a whole, it is possible to share the unit for each plate member of the bottom plate C1, the right side plate C2, the left side plate C3, and the back plate C4. Moreover, since the partial change for every board | plate member is possible, it is possible to change a specification easily for every model of the game machine 1. FIG.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen casing C10: Bottom plate C1)
More specifically, the bottom plate C1 of the screen casing C10 is formed in a flat plate shape having a rectangular top view. On the upper surface of the bottom plate C1, there is a central placement portion C11 disposed at the center, and a right placement portion C12 and a left placement portion C13 disposed in the left-right direction around the center placement portion C11. Yes. These placement portions C11, C12, and C13 are formed in a concave shape. The center placement portion C11 places the fixed screen mechanism D so that it can be positioned by fitting the lower end portion of the fixed screen mechanism D. The right mounting portion C12 and the left mounting portion C13 position the right movable body base C5 and the left movable body base C6 by fitting the lower ends of the right movable body base C5 and the left movable body base C6, respectively. It is placed as possible.

  Further, the front side portion C14 of the bottom plate C1 is bent downward so that the tip end portion is positioned below the lower surface of the bottom plate C1. A plurality of through holes C141 are formed in the front side C14. As shown in FIG. 5, when the display unit A is assembled while being mounted on the intermediate support plate 211 of the cabinet 21, the front side portion C <b> 14 comes into contact with the front surface of the intermediate support plate 211, thereby It is possible to perform backward positioning. The display unit A can be assembled and installed from the front side of the cabinet 21 by being screwed to the front side of the cabinet 21 through the through hole C141 of the front side C14. It is possible.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen casing C10: Right side plate C2, Left side plate C3)
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the right side plate C2 and the left side plate C3 of the screen casing C10 have operation openings C21 and C31. The operation openings C21 and C31 are formed as handles, and the display unit A can be carried by hooking a hand on the operation openings C21 and C31. The operation openings C21 and C31 are arranged on the sides of the crank gears E21 and E21 of the front screen drive mechanism E2. The opening portions C21 and C31 for operation are formed in a rectangular shape whose longitudinal direction coincides with the horizontal direction. The opening areas of the operation openings C21 and C31 are set to such an extent that the crank gears E21 and E21 can be manually operated from the outside.

  Thus, when the front screen mechanism E1 at the standby position is manually moved after the display unit A is assembled in the cabinet 21, first, the display unit A is taken out from the front side of the cabinet 21 in which the upper door mechanism UD is opened. . Specifically, an operator located on the front side of the cabinet 21 releases the screw fastening of the display unit A to the cabinet 21 and removes the screw. Then, the hand is extended into the cabinet 21 to hold the operation openings C21 and C31 of the display unit A with both hands, and the display unit A is taken out of the cabinet 21. Thereafter, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, the hand is reached from one operation opening C21 of the removed display unit A into the screen device C, and the crank gear E21 that is visible in the horizontal direction is rotated from the operation opening C21. Thus, the locked front screen mechanism E1 can be easily moved from the standby position. The locked state of the front screen mechanism E1 will be described later. When the locked state is released by the movement from the standby position, the front screen mechanism E1 can be quickly rotated to a desired position.

  In the state where the upper door mechanism UD is opened, a hand is reached from the front of the opening of the cabinet 21 into the space between the side wall 212 of the cabinet 21 and the right side plate C2 of the screen device C, and the operation opening C21 is reached. The crank gear E21 can be rotated by operating the crank gear E21. In this case, the front screen mechanism E1 can be unlocked without removing the display unit A from the cabinet 21.

  Further, a motor housing portion C22 is formed on the right side plate C2. The motor housing portion C22 houses the drive motor F21 of the reel screen drive mechanism F2.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen casing C10: Back plate C4)
As shown in FIG. 18, the back plate C4 of the screen casing C10 is formed in a flat plate shape, and a relay substrate CK is provided on the back surface. The relay substrate CK collects a plurality of signal lines in the display unit A and enables wiring to the outside of the display unit A at one place. The relay board CK is provided in front of the back wall 213 of the cabinet 21 by being provided on the back face of the back plate C4. That is, the relay substrate CK is disposed in the gap between the back wall 213 of the cabinet 21 and the back plate C4 of the screen housing C10. As shown in FIG. 5, a through hole 2111 of the intermediate support plate 211 that supports the display unit A is disposed below the relay substrate CK, and a signal line of the relay substrate CK is inserted therethrough.

  Thus, the relay board is arranged outside the screen device C, thereby facilitating the wiring work and making it unnecessary to secure an installation space for the relay substrate CK in the screen device C. The degree of freedom of design in the device C is expanded.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 18, the opening C41 for operation is formed in the backplate C4. The operation opening C41 is disposed at the lower right side and faces the intermediate gear E23 of the front screen drive mechanism E2. The operation opening C41 is formed in a size that allows the intermediate gear E23 to be manually operated. Thus, when the front screen mechanism E1 at the standby position is manually moved after the display unit A is incorporated into the cabinet 21, the display unit A is first removed from the cabinet 21. After that, reaching out from the operation opening C41 into the screen device C and rotating the intermediate gear E23 visible in the horizontal direction from the operation opening C41, the locked front screen mechanism E1 can be easily moved from the standby position. Can be moved.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen mechanism)
Inside the screen casing C10, a plurality of screen mechanisms for causing an image to appear by irradiation of irradiation light from the irradiation light device B are provided so that the irradiation target can be switched. Specifically, a fixed screen mechanism D, a front screen mechanism E1, and a reel screen mechanism F1 are provided as a plurality of screen mechanisms. Detailed structures of the screen mechanisms D, E1, and F1 will be described later.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen position relationship)
As shown in FIG. 19, the fixed screen mechanism D is provided in a fixed state at a fixed exposure position existing in the irradiation direction of the irradiation light. As shown in FIG. 20, the front screen mechanism E1 is provided to be rotatable between a front exposure position and a front standby position. The positional relationship between the fixed exposure position and the front exposure position is set so that the front exposure position is in the irradiation direction of the irradiation light and exists in front of the fixed exposure position. As a result, when the front screen mechanism E1 moves to the front exposure position, the front screen mechanism E1 covers the fixed screen mechanism D from the front so that the image by the irradiation light appears only on the front screen mechanism E1. It is possible. When the front screen mechanism E1 moves to the front standby position, the fixed screen mechanism D is exposed so that an image of the irradiated light can appear on the fixed screen mechanism D.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the reel screen mechanism F1 is provided so as to be rotatable between a reel exposure position and a reel standby position. The positional relationship between the reel exposure position and the fixed exposure position is set so that the reel exposure position is in the irradiation direction of the irradiation light and exists ahead of the fixed exposure position. As a result, when the reel screen mechanism F1 moves to the reel exposure position, the reel screen mechanism F1 covers the fixed screen mechanism D from the front, so that the image by the irradiation light appears only on the reel screen mechanism F1. It is possible. When the reel screen mechanism F1 is moved to the reel standby position, the fixed screen mechanism D is exposed so that an image by irradiation light can appear on the fixed screen mechanism D.

  The positional relationship between the front standby position and the reel standby position is set so that the front screen mechanism E1 existing at the front standby position and the reel screen mechanism F1 existing at the reel standby position do not interfere with each other. That is, the front standby position is disposed above the fixed screen mechanism D, while the reel standby position is disposed behind the fixed screen mechanism D. Thereby, the rotation distance of the front screen mechanism E1 is made shorter than the rotation distance of the reel screen mechanism F1.

  The front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are different in the rotation center axis of the front screen mechanism E1 and the rotation center axis of the reel screen mechanism F1 so that the overlapping of the operation areas due to the rotation is minimized. ing. Specifically, the rotation center axis of the front screen mechanism E1 is set higher than the rotation center axis of the reel screen mechanism F1 in the front standby position direction. Thereby, the movement of the front screen mechanism E1 is set to the minimum.

  The front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are rotatable on condition that at least one of the screen mechanisms E1 and F1 is present at the standby position. Thereby, interference at the time of rotation of screen mechanism E1 * F1 is prevented.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Fixed screen mechanism D)
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the fixed screen mechanism D is fixed to the bottom plate C1 of the screen casing C10 by screw fastening. The fixed screen mechanism D has a front reflection part D1, a right reflection part D2, a left reflection part D3, and a lower reflection part D4. The reflecting surfaces of these reflecting portions D1 to D4 are set at different angles with respect to the optical axis of the irradiation light from the irradiation light device B.

  In addition, if the fixed screen mechanism D is a structure which has a reflective surface of several different angles with respect to the optical axis of irradiation light, it may have a reflective part of 2 surfaces, 3 surfaces, 5 surfaces, for example, Or you may provide the reflection part of the curved or circular-arc-shaped reflective surface in which the curvature center point located in the front side becomes an angle continuously different with respect to an optical axis.

  The front reflecting portion D1 has a reflecting surface opposed to the player on the front side, and reflects most of the reflected light from the irradiation light device B disposed in the upper front portion of the fixed screen mechanism D forward. It is set to be. The right side reflection part D2 and the left side reflection part D3 are joined to the right side part and the left side part of the front reflection part D1, and are arranged symmetrically about the front reflection part D1. The right side reflection part D2 and the left side reflection part D3 are arranged such that the width between the front end parts is larger than the width in the left-right direction of the front reflection part D1. As a result, the right-side reflection part D2 and the left-side reflection part D3 make the reflection direction of the irradiation light with respect to the reflection surface easier to face in the direction of the front reflection part D1, so that a part of the irradiation light appears in front while the image by the irradiation light appears. The light is reflected in the direction of the reflection part D1. In addition, with respect to the lower surface reflection portion D4, since the reflection direction of the irradiation light with respect to the reflection surface is easily directed toward the front reflection portion D1, a part of the irradiation light is caused to appear in the direction of the front reflection portion D1 while causing an image of the irradiation light to appear. It is designed to reflect.

  In the fixed screen mechanism D described above, the brightness of the reflecting surface is set lower than the brightness of each reflecting surface of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1, which will be described later. That is, in the fixed screen mechanism D, the amount of light reflected by the reflecting surface of the irradiation light is made smaller than the amount of light reflected by the reflecting surfaces of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1. As a result, the fixed screen mechanism D is prevented from being blurred due to light mixing due to irregular reflection of the reflecting portions D1 to D4. In the fixed screen mechanism D, the lightness of the other reflection parts D2, D3, and D4 may be lower than the lightness of the front reflection part D1. In this case, since the reflection to the front reflection part D1 of the irradiation light in the other reflection parts D2, D3, and D4 can be reduced, white blur can be reduced while causing an image to appear strongly in the front reflection part D1.

As the brightness, Brightness in the L ^* a ^* b ^* color system (L ^* a ^* b ^* color space) or the L ^* u ^* v ^* color system (L ^* u ^* v ^* color space) is adopted. However, any other color can be defined as long as other colors can be expressed by relative values with white as a reference.

  The lightness of the reflection surface of the fixed screen mechanism D and the lightness of the reflection surfaces of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are the same as the lightness of the reflection surface of the fixed screen mechanism D and the reflection of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1. If it is lower than the brightness of a surface, it will not specifically limit. For example, the brightness of the reflecting surface of the fixed screen mechanism D may be set to a value lower by about 5 to 25% (or 10 to 20%) than the brightness of the reflecting surfaces of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1.

  In order to make the lightness of the reflection surface of the fixed screen mechanism D lower than the lightness of the reflection surfaces of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1, the color of the paint applied to the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D is changed to the front screen. What is necessary is just to make it black rather than the color of the coating material apply | coated to the base material of the mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1. For example, a white paint is used as the coating material applied to the base material of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1, and the coating material applied to the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D is the front screen mechanism E1 or the reel screen mechanism F1. What added the black pigment to the coating material apply | coated to a base material should just be used.

  In such a paint, the brightness of the reflection surface of the screen mechanism can be changed by changing the ratio of the white pigment (for example, titanium oxide) and the black pigment (for example, carbon black). For example, the paint applied to the base material of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 includes only a white pigment among white pigment and black pigment, and the paint applied to the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D includes Both a white pigment and a black pigment may be included. In addition, the ratio of the black pigment to the white pigment (for example, 5 to 25% (or It may be increased by about 10 to 20%). In addition, as a coating material applied to the base material of these screen mechanisms, a conventionally known screen coating material can be appropriately employed and can be adjusted according to a screen type (for example, a diffusion type or a reflection type). .

  Note that the black pigment is not dispersed in the coating material applied to the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D, but before the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D is molded. By doing so, the base material itself may be colored to lower the brightness of the base material itself.

  Further, from the viewpoint of preventing irregular reflection of light, members constituting the screen casing C10 such as peripheral walls (the bottom plate C1, the right side plate C2, the left side plate C3, and the back plate C4), and the interior of the screen casing C10. It is desirable that the brightness of the other members (members other than the screen) disposed in the panel is also lowered. The brightness of these members is desirably lower than the brightness of the reflecting surface of the fixed screen mechanism D. For example, it is not necessary to consider that an image is projected as a screen for the surrounding wall. The lower the better. That is, it is desirable that the color of the surrounding wall is closer to black.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Front screen mechanism E1)
As shown in FIG. 22, the front screen mechanism E1 includes a rectangular front screen member E11 having a projection surface E11a on the entire surface, and a front screen support E12 having patterns such as a first pattern surface E12a on both surfaces. Have. The front screen member E11 is formed by applying screen paint to a thin flat panel. As a result, the front screen member E11 has a projection surface E11a formed in a flat shape so that an image without distortion appears when irradiated with irradiation light.

  On the other hand, the front screen support E12 has a holding recess E121 that holds the front screen member E11. The holding recess E121 has an opening shape similar to that of the projection surface E11a of the front screen member E11 in a slightly enlarged state, and accommodates the entire front screen member E11. In addition, the holding recess E121 is set in two stages of a deep part and a shallow part. The shallow portion is realized by a stepped portion E121a formed at the peripheral portion of the front screen support base E12 and a stepped portion E121b formed linearly at both ends in the short direction passing through the center portion.

  Accordingly, the front screen member E11 accommodated in the holding recess E121 is abutted and supported by the stepped portion E121a at the peripheral edge and the linear stepped portion E121b passing through the central portion, and is separated from the remaining deep portion. It is in a state. As a result, the deformation of the front screen support E12 in the deep portion is prevented from deforming the front screen member E11 and causing distortion on the projection surface E11a.

  Further, the front screen support E12 has a first pattern surface E12a in a partial region around the projection surface E11a. The first pattern surface E12a is visible to the player in front when the front screen mechanism E1 is positioned at the front exposure position. Further, the front screen support E12 has a second pattern surface E12b on the entire surface opposite to the first pattern surface E12a. The second pattern surface E12b is visible to the player in front when the front screen mechanism E1 is positioned at the front standby position. In these first pattern surface E12a and second pattern surface E12b, for example, a pattern related to a game effect is three-dimensionally formed by unevenness.

  The front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 configured as described above are formed separately and then integrated by bonding with an adhesive. Thus, the front screen mechanism E1 is mechanically separated from the front screen member E11 even if sink marks may occur due to molding shrinkage or the like when forming a pattern or the like on the front screen support base E12. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front screen member E11 from being distorted due to sink marks on the projection surface E11a.

  Note that the method for fixing the front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 is not limited to bonding with an adhesive, and any method such as screw fastening may be employed.

  The flat panel constituting the front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 are each produced by injection molding. As a material of the flat panel constituting the front screen member E11 and the front screen support base E12, a thermoplastic resin (for example, ABS resin or the like) that can cause sink marks when injection molding is performed is appropriately adopted. it can.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Front screen drive mechanism E2)
The front screen mechanism E1 is rotatable by the driving force of the front screen drive mechanism E2. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the front screen drive mechanism E2 includes a left front screen drive mechanism E2A connected to the lower surface of the left end of the front screen mechanism E1, and a right connected to the lower surface of the right end of the front screen mechanism E1. And a front screen drive mechanism E2B.

  As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B includes a crank member E22, a crank gear E21, an intermediate gear E23, a motor shaft gear E24, and a drive motor E25. The upper end (one end) of the crank member E22 in the right front screen drive mechanism E2B is coupled to the lower surface of the right end of the front screen mechanism E1. As shown in FIG. 25, the crank member E22 is rotatably supported on the right movable body base C5 of FIG. 15 at the intermediate position E22a. As a result, the crank member E22 is capable of rotating the upper end portion and the lower end portion (the other end portion) with the intermediate position E22a as the rotation center.

  The crank member E22 has an upper region on the upper end side from the intermediate position E22a and a lower region on the lower end side from the intermediate position E22a. When the crank member E22 is viewed from the side as shown in FIG. 25, the center line in the upper region (the straight line passing through the intermediate position E22a and the midpoint of the upper end side of the crank member E22) is in the vertical direction in the standby posture. Is set to On the other hand, the center line in the lower region (a straight line passing through the intermediate position E22a and the midpoint at the lower end side of the crank member E22) is set so that the lower side is inclined more forward than the upper side in the standby posture.

  A slide groove E22b is formed in the lower region of the crank member E22. The slide groove E22b is formed such that the groove wall surface E22b1 has a U-shape when viewed from the side. The U-shape is composed of two straight portions and a curved portion connecting the ends of the two straight portions. The two straight portions are formed in parallel, and in the slide groove E22b, a surface corresponding to the straight portion of the groove wall surface E22b1 is set parallel to the center line of the lower region. A slide member E26 is movably engaged with the slide groove E22b. The groove width of the slide groove E22b (distance between the two straight portions) is substantially equal to the member width of the slide member E26, and is set to slide during movement. That is, the slide member E26 is always in contact with the groove wall surface E22b1 of the slide groove E22b. Further, the upper end portion of the slide groove E22b is set so that the slide member E26 contacts the upper end surface (surface corresponding to the curved portion) when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture. On the other hand, the lower end portion of the slide groove E22b is open so that a part of the slide member E26 can be exposed.

  The slide member E26 is rotatably supported at an eccentric position E21b of the crank gear E21. The rotation center position E21a of the crank gear E21 is rotatably supported by the right movable body base C5 in FIG. The rotation center position E21a of the crank gear E21 is a line segment connecting the rotation center position E21a and the eccentric position E21b when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposure posture, and the intermediate position E22a and the slide member in the crank member E22. It is set to have a relationship orthogonal to the line segment connecting the center point of E26.

  As a result, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture, even if a force is applied in the direction in which the lower region of the crank member E22 is rotated, the rotation center position in the direction in which all components of this force are applied. Since E21a exists and acts as a fixed end, the slide member E26 does not move. As a result, a truss structure is formed by a three-joint link having zero degrees of freedom with the intermediate position E22a of the crank member E22 and the rotation center position E21a of the crank gear E21 as fixed ends and the slide member E26 as a free end. Even when the mechanism E1 is pushed by hand, the front screen mechanism E1 does not move because the crank member E22 and the crank gear E21 act as a strong brake.

  An intermediate gear E23 is meshed with the crank gear E21. A motor shaft gear E24 is meshed with the intermediate gear E23. The motor shaft gear E24 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor E25. Thereby, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B can transmit the rotational driving force of the drive motor E25 to the crank gear E21 via the motor shaft gear E24 and the intermediate gear E23.

  Here, all the components of the rotational driving force applied to the crank gear E21 coincide with the tangential direction of the turning locus of the slide member E26. As shown in FIGS. 26 and 28, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture, a line segment connecting the rotation center position E21a and the eccentric position E21b is an intermediate position E22a in the crank member E22. Since it is set to have a relationship orthogonal to the line segment connecting the center point of the slide member E26, the tangential direction of the turning locus is parallel to the groove wall surface of the slide groove E22b of the crank member E22. Accordingly, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture, there is a groove wall surface that becomes a reaction force in the moving direction (tangential direction) of the slide member E26 when a rotational driving force is applied to the crank gear E21. Therefore, the crank gear E21 easily starts rotating.

  When a rotational driving force is applied to the crank gear E21, the slide member E26 provided at the eccentric position E21b is movable along the slide groove E22b by sliding with the slide groove E22b. The intermediate position E22a and the rotation center position E21a of the crank gear E21 are fixed ends, and a one-degree-of-freedom two-joint link is formed in which the slide member E26 is a free end movable along the groove wall surface. When the slide member E26 rotates, the crank member E22 having the slide groove E22b with which the slide member E26 is engaged rotates about the intermediate position E22a, and the upper region of the crank member E22 rotates. Become. As a result, the front screen mechanism E1 moves between the front standby position and the front exposure position.

  Further, the moving speed of the front screen mechanism E1 is in the stop state 0 when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposure posture, and gradually increases to an intermediate posture between the standby posture and the exposure posture (FIG. 27). After the maximum speed is reached, the vehicle gradually decelerates and becomes the stop state 0 when the exposure posture and the standby posture are reached. Thus, the rotation can be started and stopped in a state where the angular acceleration of the crank gear E21 is small (moment of inertia), so that the torque required for the crank gear E21 can be reduced, and as a result, the drive mechanism ( It is possible to reduce failures and wear due to overloading of the intermediate gear E23, the motor shaft gear E24, and the drive motor E25).

  As shown in FIG. 15, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B configured as described above has the same configuration as the left front screen drive mechanism E2A except for the motor shaft gear E24 and the drive motor E25. The left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the right front screen drive mechanism E2B are arranged symmetrically. The crank gear E21 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the crank gear E21 of the right front screen drive mechanism E2B are connected via a shaft member E3 so that the rotational drive force of the drive motor E25 is evenly applied. Yes.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Reel screen mechanism F1)
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the reel screen mechanism F1 includes a reel screen portion F11 made of a curved plate, a left reel screen support portion F12 connected to the left end of the reel screen portion F11, and a reel screen portion F11. And a right reel screen support portion F13 connected to the right end.

  The reel screen portion F11 is curved in a shape that approximates the rotation direction, and a pattern is formed on the back surface that is the rotation center side. The pattern on the back surface is made visible to the player in front when the reel screen mechanism F1 is positioned at the reel standby position. Further, the surface of the reel screen portion F11 is formed with a pattern at the peripheral edge, and the inner peripheral area of the peripheral edge is a projection surface. On the projection surface, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is positioned at the reel exposure position, an image can appear by irradiation of irradiation light.

  One end portions of the left and right reel screen support portions F12 and F13 are connected to the reel screen portion F11. On the other hand, the other end portions of the reel screen support portions F12 and F13 each have a protruding portion (not shown). The protruding portion protrudes in the horizontal direction outside the reel screen support portions F12 and F13, and is connected to the reel screen drive mechanism F2 to serve as a rotation center axis of the reel screen mechanism F1.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD are formed so as to correspond to the shape and size of the opening of the cabinet G. The upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD are provided so that the upper part and the lower part of the opening in the cabinet G can be closed. The upper door mechanism UD has an upper display window UD1 at the center. The upper display window UD1 is provided with a transparent panel UD11 that transmits light.

  As shown in FIG. 32, the inside of the cabinet G is partitioned into an upper space and a lower space by an intermediate support plate G1. That is, the intermediate support plate G1 functions as a partition plate that partitions the cabinet G into an upper space and a lower space.

The lower space is a space on the rear side of the lower door mechanism DD in the cabinet G, and accommodates the reel unit RU, the main control board MS that controls the operation of the entire gaming machine 1, and the like.

(Display unit A)
As shown in FIG. 33, the display unit A is placed on the intermediate support plate G1 in the cabinet G so as to be exchangeable. The display unit A is a so-called projection mapping apparatus having an irradiation light device B that emits irradiation light including an image and a screen device C that causes an image to appear when the irradiation light from the irradiation light device B is irradiated. .

  Here, the projection mapping device is for projecting an image on the surface of a three-dimensional object such as a building or a natural object. For example, the position (projection distance or angle) of an object that is a screen described later is used. Etc.) and an image corresponding to the production information generated based on the shape is projected, thereby enabling an advanced and powerful production.

  The display unit A has a housing A1 with an opening formed in the front. The housing A1 includes a projector cover B1 of the irradiation light device B and a screen housing C10 of the screen device C. Although details will be described later, the screen casing C10 has a box shape having a bottom plate C1, a right side plate C2, a left side plate C3, and a back plate C4. The projector cover B1 is replaceably attached to the upper surface of the screen casing C10.

(Display unit A: Irradiation light device B)
As shown in FIG. 34, the irradiation light device B includes a projector mechanism B2 that emits the irradiation light forward, and a screen that is disposed in front of the projector mechanism B2 and that has the irradiation light from the projector mechanism B2 disposed obliquely downward and rearward. It has a mirror mechanism B3 that reflects in the direction of the device C, and a projector cover B1 that houses the projector mechanism B2 and the mirror mechanism B3.

(Display unit A: Irradiation light device B: Projector mechanism B2)
The projector mechanism B2 is disposed at the rear part in the cabinet G. The projector mechanism B2 has a flat base member B22 arranged horizontally. A lens mechanism B21 and a light source (not shown) are provided on the lower surface of the base member B22. The lens mechanism B21 is disposed so as to emit the irradiation light emitted from the light source toward the front mirror mechanism B3.

  Further, heat exhaust mechanisms B23 and B24 are provided on the lower surface of the base member B22. The heat removal mechanisms B23 and B24 are disposed on the right and left sides of the lens mechanism B21 and the light source, respectively. The exhaust heat mechanisms B23 and B24 have a duct through which air is circulated and a fan that sends out air. By blowing out the air to the rear, the heat generated when the irradiation light is generated is forced to the rear. It is designed to flow. As shown in FIG. 30, a vent hole G3a of the cabinet G is arranged in the air flow direction in the heat removal mechanisms B23 and B24. As a result, the exhaust heat mechanisms B23 and B24 can forcibly exhaust the heat of the projector mechanism B2 together with air to the outside through the vent hole G3a.

(Display unit A: Irradiation light device B: Mirror mechanism B3)
As shown in FIG. 34, a mirror mechanism B3 is disposed in front of the projector mechanism B2 (the emission direction of irradiation light). As shown in FIG. 35, the mirror mechanism B3 has a mirror holder B31, an optical mirror B32 accommodated in the mirror holder B31, and mirror stoppers B33 and B34 for fixing both ends of the optical mirror B32 to the mirror holder B31. doing. As shown in FIG. 36, the mirror holder B31 is formed in a plate shape with a rectangular front surface. At each corner portion of the mirror holder B31, an angle adjustment hole B311 is formed, and a recess B312 is formed on the front surface with the angle adjustment hole B311 as a center. Further, mounting holes B314 and B314 are formed vertically symmetrically between the angle adjustment holes B311 and B311 in the vertical direction.

  On the other hand, a mirror holding part B313 is formed on the rear surface of the mirror holder B31. The mirror holding part B313 is formed in the center part, and is formed in a size that does not overlap with the angle adjustment hole B311 and the attachment hole B314. Mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the mirror holding part B313. The mirror stoppers B33 and B34 have angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 and attachment holes B334 and B344, respectively. The angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 and the attachment holes B334 and B344 in the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are arranged so as to correspond to the angle adjustment holes B311 and B311 and the attachment holes B314 and B314 in the mirror holder B31.

  The mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are formed so as to partially overlap the mirror holding part B313. As a result, the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 come into contact with both sides of the optical mirror B32 fitted in the mirror holding part B313 and are screwed to the mirror holder B31 by the mounting holes B314, B334, and B344. The optical mirror B32 is held by the mirror holder B31.

  As shown in FIG. 37, the mirror mechanism B3 configured as described above is provided on the inner side surface of the reflector holding portion B11 in the projector cover B1. The reflector holding portion B11 is formed at the center of the front surface of the projector cover B1, and is disposed so as to be exposed to the front side when the upper door mechanism UD is opened. The reflector holding part B11 has an angle adjustment hole B111. The angle adjustment hole B111 is formed at a position corresponding to the angle adjustment hole B311 of the mirror mechanism B3.

  A screw (not shown) is inserted from the front side into the angle adjustment hole B111 of the reflector holding part B11, and this screw passes through the angle adjustment hole B311 of the mirror holder B31. The angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 of the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are formed as screw holes into which screws can be screwed, and the screws that pass through the angle adjustment holes B311 of the mirror holder B31 are provided on the mirror stoppers B33 and B34. Screwed into the angle adjustment holes B331 and B341.

  When the screw is rotated in the direction in which the screwing with the angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 is loosened, the distance between the reflector holding portion B11 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 is increased. On the other hand, when the screw is rotated in a direction in which the screw engagement with the angle adjustment holes B331 and B341 is tightened, the distance between the reflector holding portion B11 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 is reduced.

  As described above, the mirror holder B31 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are screwed through the mounting holes B314, B334, and B344, so that the optical mirror is interposed between the mirror holder B31 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34. B32 is sandwiched. As described above, the mirror holder B31, the optical mirror B32, and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 are integrated as a mirror mechanism B3, and the distance between the reflector holding portion B11 and the mirror stoppers B33 and B34 is changed by rotating the screw. Thus, the distance between the reflector holding part B11 and the mirror mechanism B3 can be increased or decreased. Since the angle adjustment holes B311, 331, and B341 are arranged in four directions corresponding to the corner portions of the mirror mechanism B3, the reflector holding portion B11 and the mirror mechanism at the arrangement positions of the angle adjustment holes B311, 331, and B341 are arranged. By increasing or decreasing the distance to B3, the reflection angle of the optical mirror B32 with respect to the traveling direction of the irradiation light emitted from the projector mechanism B2 can be finely adjusted.

  Further, a spring (not shown) is provided between the reflector holding part B11 and the mirror holder B31. The rear end surface of the spring is in contact with the recess B312 of the mirror holder B31, and the front end surface is in contact with the inner wall surface (rear wall surface) of the reflector holding unit B11, so that the reflector holding unit B11 and the mirror holder B31 Is sandwiched between. And the screw penetrated from angle adjustment hole B111 of reflector holding part B11 has penetrated the spring concerned. Thereby, even if the distance between the reflector holding part B11 and the mirror mechanism B3 increases with the rotation of the screw, the screw head comes into contact with the angle adjustment hole B111 of the reflector holding part B11 by the biasing force of the spring. It can be prevented that the screw head protrudes from the angle adjustment hole B111 and the positional relationship between the reflector holding portion B11 and the screw is destroyed.

(Display unit A: Irradiation light device B: Projector cover B1)
As shown in FIG. 38, the projector mechanism B2 and the mirror mechanism B3 configured as described above are accommodated in the projector cover B1. The lower surface B2a of the projector mechanism B2 has an inclined surface B2a1 that is inclined upward from the rear to the front at the front part thereof. As shown in FIG. 39, the projector cover B1 is arranged symmetrically in the left-right direction of the upper wall part B12 arranged horizontally, the reflector holding part B11 arranged on the front side of the upper wall part B12, and the upper wall part B12. Side wall portions B13 and B13. As for upper wall part B12, the front part protrudes ahead rather than cabinet G (refer to Drawing 33). At the center of the front part of the upper wall part B12, a reflector holding part B11 is formed so as to protrude forward, and the above mirror mechanism B3 is held in the space formed by the protrusion so that the angle can be adjusted. Yes.

  Moreover, side wall part B13 * B13 has protrusion part B131 protruded in the left-right horizontal direction from the lower end part. The protrusion B131 has a first protrusion B131a on the front side and a second protrusion B131b on the rear side. The first protrusion B131a is formed at a position corresponding to the opening of the cabinet G when the projector cover B1 is attached to the cabinet G. The distance in the left-right direction between the tips of the first protrusions B131a protruding from the side walls B13, B13 is set to be slightly shorter than the width in the left-right direction of the opening of the cabinet G. On the other hand, the second projecting portion B131b is formed at a position corresponding to the rear space from the opening of the cabinet G when the projector cover B1 is attached to the cabinet G. The distance in the left-right direction between the tips of the second protrusions B131b protruding from the side walls B13, B13 is set to be slightly shorter than the width in the left-right direction of the space part behind the cabinet G. That is, the side walls B13 and B13 are formed such that the distance in the left-right direction between the tips of the second protrusion B131b is larger than the distance in the left-right direction between the tips of the first protrusion B131a. Thus, the projector cover B1 can cover most of the internal space in the cabinet G.

  Further, a screw hole B131C penetrating in the vertical direction is formed at the tip of the second protrusion B131b. When the projector cover B1 is fixed to the right side plate C2 and the left side plate C3 (see FIG. 33), screws are screwed into the right side plate C2 and the left side plate C3 through the screw holes B131C. Further, since the projecting portions B131 project in the horizontal direction from the lower end portions of the side wall portions B13 and B13, the projecting portions B131 and the side wall portions B13 are provided with concave portions from the front ends thereof at both end portions of the projector cover B1. B132 is continuously formed rearward.

  As shown in FIG. 40, when the display unit A is attached to the cabinet G, a space BS is defined by the recess B132 and the cabinet G. Further, the shape of the upper wall portion B12 and the side wall portion B13 of the projector cover B1 is such that the distance between the lower end portion of each side wall portion B13 and the front end portion of the second protruding portion B131b protruding from the lower end portion is the first. 2 The front part is configured to be larger than the rear part of the protruding part B131b (see FIG. 39). As a result, the front space of the space BS becomes larger than the rear space. When the display unit A is mounted on the cabinet G, the opening G41 formed in the upper surface wall G4 of the cabinet G and the front space of the space BS are at least partially overlapped when viewed from above. This space BS is used as a work space for installing and fixing the gaming machine 1 on the island facility.

  As shown in FIG. 41, when installing and fixing a gaming machine on an island facility, a fixed plate member OC of the island facility is disposed above the upper surface wall G4 of the cabinet G. The space BS is a space in which nails extending from the plate member G42 attached to the upper surface wall G4 to the fixed plate member OC of the island facility can be driven from the cabinet G.

  As described above, even when the display unit A is accommodated in the cabinet G with almost no gap between the upper wall B12 of the projector cover B1 and the upper wall G4 of the cabinet G, the display unit A A space BS for installing and fixing work on the island facility is secured between the cabinet G and the cabinet G. As a result, it becomes possible for an operator to perform a nailing operation using the space BS from the front side of the cabinet G where the upper door mechanism UD is opened, and as a result, the display unit A can be damaged. In the state where the display unit A is accommodated in the cabinet G, the gaming machine 1 can be nailed to the fixed plate member OC of the island facility.

  Further, the nail for nailing the gaming machine 1 and the fixed plate member OC is driven not to the metal cabinet G but to the wooden plate member G42 which is softer than the cabinet. Can be installed on island facilities.

  As a modification, the material of the plate member G42 is not limited to wood, and various materials can be adopted as long as the material is a soft member softer than the cabinet G. Further, the fixing method of the gaming machine 1 to the island facility is not limited to nail fastening, and various fixing methods such as screwing can be employed.

(Display unit A: Irradiation light device B: Perforated plate B15)
As shown in FIG. 42, a perforated plate B15 having a plurality of holes B151 is provided on the lower surface side of the projector cover B1. The perforated plate B15 is a punching metal having a plurality of holes formed by punching a plate made of metal (for example, stainless steel, iron, steel, aluminum, etc.). The plurality of holes B151 are formed to be substantially evenly distributed over the entire surface of the porous plate B15. The perforated plate B15 allows air to flow through the entire surface of the perforated plate B15, and allows air to flow from the lower side to the upper side by suction by the heat exhausting mechanisms B23 and B24 of the projector mechanism B2. The size and the number of the holes B151 are set such that the inside of the projector cover B1 cannot be seen from the outside. The hole B151 is formed in a shape such as a circle, a square, or a hexagon, and the hole diameter is about 3 to 5 mm.

  The perforated plate B15 is formed so as to cover the first protrusion B131a and the second protrusion B131b of the projector cover B1 from the lower position. The perforated plate B15 has a front side upper part B15a, a middle side inclined part B15b, and a rear side lower part B15c. The upper part B15a is horizontally arranged. The inclined part B15b is formed by being bent obliquely downward and rearward from the rear side of the upper part B15a. The lower part B15c is formed by being bent in the horizontal direction from the rear side of the inclined part B15b.

  The upper part B15a of the perforated plate B15 is attached to the side wall parts B13 and B13 of the projector cover B1. Thereby, the perforated plate B15 is arranged so as to cover the front part of the projector cover B1 from the lower side with the upper part B15a and cover the lower part with the inclined part B15b and the lower part B15c from the middle part to the rear part of the projector cover B1. Yes. Further, the inclined portion B15b is disposed so as to surround the inclined surface B2a1 on the lower surface B2a of the projector mechanism B2 when viewed from above. As shown in FIG. 38, the inclination angle of the inclined portion B15b (inclination angle with respect to the horizontal plane) is substantially the same as the inclination angle of the inclined surface B2a1. A front screen mechanism E1 in the screen device C is arranged below the perforated plate B15.

  As will be described in detail later, the front screen mechanism E1 has a front standby position that is disposed on the upper side that is a standby posture that prohibits the appearance of an image by irradiation light, and a lower side that is an exposure posture that permits the appearance of an image by irradiation light. The front screen mechanism E1 in the standby posture is in an inclined posture that is close to and substantially parallel to the inclined portion B15b of the perforated plate B15. On the other hand, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the exposed posture, a large space portion appears below the porous plate B15, and air present in the space portion reaches the porous plate B15 without flow resistance, By passing through the hole B151, it is possible to facilitate the inflow of air into the screen device C and increase the cooling efficiency.

  Further, the perforated plate B15 is provided so as to cover the lower surface of the projector cover B1, so that, for example, as shown in FIG. 43, the player's line-of-sight position is the center in the vertical and horizontal directions of the screen device C. Even if the irradiation light device B is looked up from the position of the line of sight, the inside of the irradiation light device B is not visually observed by the perforated plate B15.

(Display unit A: Screen device C)
As shown in FIG. 44, the irradiation light device B configured as described above is connected to the upper surface of the screen device C by screw fastening. For example, as described above, screws are screwed into the upper surfaces of the right side plate C2 and the left side plate C3 of the screen device C through the screw holes B131C formed in the protrusion B131 of the projector cover B1. Thereby, the display unit A can unitarily handle the irradiation light device B and the screen device C as a unit.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen mechanism)
Inside the screen casing C10, a plurality of screen mechanisms for causing an image to appear by irradiation of irradiation light from the irradiation light device B are provided so that the irradiation target can be switched. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 45, a fixed screen mechanism D, a front screen mechanism E1, and a reel screen mechanism F1 are provided as a plurality of screen mechanisms. The projection planes of the fixed screen mechanism D, the front screen mechanism E1, and the reel screen mechanism F1 have different shapes from each other in order to diversify the image expression. The front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are movable screens, and are driven by the front screen drive mechanism E2 and the reel screen drive mechanism F2, respectively. Note that the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are larger and heavier in the front screen mechanism E1. For this reason, when the front screen mechanism E1 is driven, a larger driving force is required than when the reel screen mechanism F1 is driven. The detailed structures of the screen mechanisms D, E1, and F1 and the screen drive mechanisms E2 and F2 will be described later.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen casing C10)
As described above, the screen device C includes the box-shaped screen casing C10. As shown in FIG. 45, the screen casing C10 includes a horizontally disposed bottom plate C1, a right side plate C2 erected on the right end of the bottom plate C1, and a left side plate C3 erected on the left end of the bottom plate C1. And a back plate C4 erected at the rear end of the bottom plate C1. Accordingly, the right side plate C2, the left side plate C3, and the back plate C4 are connected to the bottom plate C1 by screw fastening, so that the front side where the player is located and the upper side where the irradiation light device B is located are formed. An open box-shaped screen casing C10 is formed.

  The bottom plate C1, the right side plate C2, the left side plate C3, and the back plate C4 constituting the screen casing C10 are separately molded into a predetermined shape, and predetermined functional parts such as the fixed screen mechanism D can be positioned and arranged. Has been. As a result, even if the unit of the screen device C cannot be shared as a whole, it is possible to share the unit for each plate member of the bottom plate C1, the right side plate C2, the left side plate C3, and the back plate C4. In addition, since the plate member can be partially exchanged, the specification can be easily changed for each model of the gaming machine 1. The functional components positioned and arranged with respect to each plate member will be described in detail later.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen casing C10: Bottom plate C1)
The bottom plate C1 of the screen casing C10 is formed in a flat plate shape that is rectangular when viewed from above. On the upper surface of the bottom plate C1, there is a central placement portion C11 disposed at the center, and a right placement portion C12 and a left placement portion C13 disposed in the left-right direction around the center placement portion C11. Yes. These placement portions C11, C12, and C13 are formed in a concave shape. The center placement portion C11 places the fixed screen mechanism D so that it can be positioned by fitting the lower end portion of the fixed screen mechanism D. The right mounting portion C12 mounts the right movable body base C5 so as to be positioned by fitting the lower end portion of the right movable body base C5. The left placement portion C13 places the left movable body base C6 so that the left movable body base C6 can be positioned by fitting the lower end portion of the left movable body base C6. In addition, a pattern is three-dimensionally formed by unevenness on the side surface in the left-right direction of each of the right movable body base C5 and the left movable body base C6. That is, the right movable body base C5 and the left movable body base C6 also function as a decorative member. As described above, the fixed screen mechanism D, the right movable body base C5, and the left movable body base C6 can be positioned and arranged on the bottom plate C1.

  Further, the front side portion C14 of the bottom plate C1 is bent downward so that the tip end portion is positioned below the lower surface of the bottom plate C1. A plurality of through holes C141 are formed in the front side C14. When the display unit A is assembled while being mounted on the intermediate support plate G1 (see FIG. 33) of the cabinet G, the front side C14 is brought into contact with the front surface of the intermediate support plate G1 to move backward in the cabinet G. It is possible to perform positioning. The display unit A can be assembled and installed from the front side of the cabinet G by being screwed to the front side of the cabinet G through the through hole C141 of the front side C14. It is possible.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen casing C10: Right side plate C2, Left side plate C3)
As shown in FIGS. 45 and 46, the right side plate C2 and the left side plate C3 of the screen casing C10 have operation openings C21 and C31. The operation openings C21 and C31 are formed as handles, and the display unit A can be carried by hooking a hand on the operation openings C21 and C31. The operation openings C21 and C31 are arranged on the sides of the crank gears E21 and E21 of the front screen drive mechanism E2. The opening portions C21 and C31 for operation are formed in a rectangular shape whose longitudinal direction coincides with the horizontal direction. The opening areas of the operation openings C21 and C31 are set to such an extent that the crank gears E21 and E21 can be manually operated from the outside.

  Thus, when the front screen mechanism E1 at the standby position is manually moved after the display unit A is assembled in the cabinet G, first, the display unit A is taken out from the front side of the cabinet G in which the upper door mechanism UD is opened. . Specifically, an operator located on the front side of the cabinet G releases the screw fastening of the display unit A to the cabinet G and removes the screw. Then, the hand is extended into the cabinet G, the operation openings C21 and C31 of the display unit A are held with both hands, and the display unit A is taken out of the cabinet G. Thereafter, for example, as shown in FIG. 47, a hand is reached from one operation opening C21 of the detached display unit A into the screen device C, and the crank gear E21 that is visible in the horizontal direction is rotated from the operation opening C21. Thus, the locked front screen mechanism E1 can be easily moved from the standby position. The locked state of the front screen mechanism E1 will be described later. When the locked state is released by the movement from the standby position, the front screen mechanism E1 can be quickly rotated to a desired position.

  In the state where the upper door mechanism UD is opened, the hand is reached from the front of the opening of the cabinet G into the space between the side wall G2 of the cabinet G and the right side plate C2 of the screen device C, and the operation opening C21 is reached. The crank gear E21 can be rotated by operating the crank gear E21. In this case, the front screen mechanism E1 can be unlocked without removing the display unit A from the cabinet G.

  Further, a motor housing portion C22 is formed on the right side plate C2. The drive motor F24 of the reel screen drive mechanism F2 is positioned and arranged by the motor housing portion C22. Further, the right side plate C2 and the left side plate C3 respectively include a first support portion C23 that rotatably supports the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 in the front screen drive mechanism E2, and an intermediate gear E23 in the front screen drive mechanism E2. A second support portion C24 that rotatably supports the shaft member E3 that is the gear shaft is formed. As described above, the front screen drive mechanism E2 and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 are positioned and arranged by the right side plate C2 and the left side plate C3. The right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 of the front screen drive mechanism E2 are disposed between the right movable body base C5 and the right side plate C2 in the left-right direction. Further, the left front screen drive mechanism E2A is disposed between the left movable body base C6 and the left side plate C3 in the left-right direction.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen casing C10: Back plate C4)
As shown in FIG. 48, the back plate C4 of the screen casing C10 is formed in a flat plate shape, and a recess CO for positioning and arranging the relay board CK is formed in the lower part of the back surface thereof. The relay substrate CK is a relay for relaying wiring (not shown) between various functional components (for example, the projector mechanism B2) in the display unit A and various functional components (such as the main control substrate MS) other than the display unit A. It is a substrate.

  An operation opening C41 is formed in the back plate C4. The operation opening C41 is disposed at the lower right side and faces the intermediate gear E23 of the front screen drive mechanism E2. The operation opening C41 is formed in a size that allows the intermediate gear E23 to be manually operated. Accordingly, when the front screen mechanism E1 at the standby position is manually moved after the display unit A is incorporated into the cabinet G, the display unit A is first removed from the cabinet G. After that, reaching out from the operation opening C41 into the screen device C and rotating the intermediate gear E23 visible in the horizontal direction from the operation opening C41, the locked front screen mechanism E1 can be easily moved from the standby position. Can be moved.

  Further, the back plate C4 is disposed in front of the rear ends of the right side plate C2 and the left side plate C3. Thus, as shown in FIG. 49, when the display unit A is placed on the intermediate support plate G1 of the cabinet G, the rear wall G3 of the cabinet G, the right side plate C2, the left side plate C3 of the screen device C, and The space GS is defined by the back plate C4. That is, a gap is secured between the back wall G3 and the back plate C4. As a result, even if the relay board CK is provided on the back surface of the back plate C4, the space GS can prevent the relay board CK from interfering with the back wall G3 of the cabinet G.

  A through hole G11 is formed at a position facing the space GS in the intermediate support plate G1. The through hole G11 is formed so that the opening surrounds the relay substrate CK in a top view. The relay board CK is arranged so that the connector CK1 to which wiring from a device (main control board MS or the like) housed in the lower space of the cabinet G is connected faces the through hole G11. Thereby, the electrical connection between the relay substrate CK of the display unit A and the device accommodated in the lower space of the cabinet G is made by inserting the wiring from the device accommodated in the lower space through the through hole G11. This can be done by connecting to CK1.

  Thus, the relay substrate CK is arranged outside the screen device C, thereby facilitating the wiring work and making it unnecessary to secure an installation space for the relay substrate CK in the screen device C. The degree of freedom of design in the screen device C is expanded. Moreover, it becomes easy to discharge | emit the heat | fever which generate | occur | produces from the relay board | substrate CK outside the apparatus through the vent hole G3a formed in the back wall G3 of the cabinet G. FIG.

  Moreover, the wiring which connects the relay board CK arrange | positioned in the upper space of the cabinet G, and the apparatus accommodated in the lower space of the cabinet G passes through the through-hole G11 formed in the rear part of the intermediate support plate G1. Therefore, it becomes easy to arrange wiring behind various devices in the cabinet G. As a result, the degree of freedom in wiring can be increased.

  Since the relay board CK is arranged at the rear part in the cabinet G, it is difficult for light to reach the relay board CK. As a result, it is difficult to connect the wiring to the connector CK1 of the relay board CK. It can be. Therefore, in order to facilitate the connection of the wiring from the equipment accommodated in the lower space of the cabinet G to the relay board CK, the connector CK1 of the relay board CK passes below the intermediate support plate G1 through the through hole G11. It may be configured to protrude. Further, the color of the connector CK1 may be a color with high light reflectance (for example, white).

  As described above, the fixed screen mechanism D, the right movable body base C5, and the left movable body base C6 are positioned on the bottom plate C1. The drive motor F24 of the reel screen drive mechanism F2 is positioned on the right side plate C2, and the gear shaft E21a and the shaft member E3 of the front screen drive mechanism E2 are positioned on the right side plate C2 and the left side plate C3. The relay substrate CK is positioned with respect to the back plate C4. As described above, the fixed screen mechanism D, the drive mechanisms F2 and E2, and the relay board CK are positioned and arranged on one of the bottom plate C1, the side plates C2 and C3, and the back plate C4, and are different from each other. It is positioned on the plate. Therefore, even if the display unit A as a whole cannot be shared between models, it can be shared between models on a board basis. As a result, the display unit can be manufactured at a lower cost than the case where the display unit is manufactured for each model.

  Moreover, since each board C1-C4 of the screen housing | casing C10 is connected by screw fastening, it can cancel | release connection of each board C1-C4 by loosening a screw. That is, the screen casing C10 is assembled so that the plates C1 to C4 can be replaced. As a result, the functional parts of the display unit can be exchanged on a plate-by-plate basis. Therefore, it is possible to change the specifications of the display unit A while reusing functional parts that are not subject to exchange of the display unit A. .

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 45 and 46, the right movable body base C5 is disposed on the left inner side of the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the reel screen drive mechanism F2. Further, the left movable body base C6 is disposed on the right inner side of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A. As a result, the right movable body base C5 and the left movable body base C6, which are decorative members, can make it difficult for the player to visually recognize the drive mechanisms E2 and F2. As a result, the beauty of the gaming machine 1 can be improved. Moreover, since the recessed part for arrange | positioning the right movable body base C5 and the left movable body base C6 is formed in the baseplate C1, it becomes possible to position these at the baseplate C1 easily.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Screen position relationship)
As shown in FIG. 50, the fixed screen mechanism D is provided in a fixed state at a fixed exposure position existing in the irradiation direction of the irradiation light. As shown in FIG. 51, the front screen mechanism E1 is provided to be rotatable between a front exposure position and a front standby position. The positional relationship between the fixed exposure position and the front exposure position is set so that the front exposure position is in the irradiation direction of the irradiation light and exists in front of the fixed exposure position. As a result, when the front screen mechanism E1 moves to the front exposure position, the front screen mechanism E1 covers the fixed screen mechanism D from the front so that the image by the irradiation light appears only on the front screen mechanism E1. It is possible. When the front screen mechanism E1 moves to the front standby position, the fixed screen mechanism D is exposed so that an image of the irradiated light can appear on the fixed screen mechanism D. That is, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position, the front screen mechanism E1 becomes a projection target of the projector mechanism B2. On the other hand, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position, the fixed screen mechanism D becomes the projection target of the projector mechanism B2.

  As shown in FIG. 52, the reel screen mechanism F1 is rotatably provided between the reel exposure position and the reel standby position. The positional relationship between the reel exposure position and the fixed exposure position is set so that the reel exposure position is in the irradiation direction of the irradiation light and exists ahead of the fixed exposure position. As a result, when the reel screen mechanism F1 moves to the reel exposure position, the reel screen mechanism F1 covers the fixed screen mechanism D from the front, so that the image by the irradiation light appears only on the reel screen mechanism F1. It is possible. When the reel screen mechanism F1 is moved to the reel standby position, the fixed screen mechanism D is exposed so that an image by irradiation light can appear on the fixed screen mechanism D. That is, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position, the reel screen mechanism F1 becomes a projection target of the projector mechanism B2. On the other hand, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the front standby position, the fixed screen mechanism D becomes a projection target of the projector mechanism B2.

  As shown in FIG. 53, the axial direction of the rotation center axis FG of the front screen mechanism E1 and the axis direction of the rotation center axis RG of the reel screen mechanism F1 coincide with the left-right direction. The operation ranges by rotation of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 partially overlap each other. Therefore, when one screen of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed in the overlapping range where the operation ranges overlap, the other screen is brought into contact with the screen.

  The positional relationship between the front standby position and the reel standby position is set so that the front screen mechanism E1 existing at the front standby position and the reel screen mechanism F1 existing at the reel standby position do not interfere with each other. That is, the front standby position is disposed above the fixed screen mechanism D, while the reel standby position is disposed behind the fixed screen mechanism D. Thereby, the rotation distance of the front screen mechanism E1 is made shorter than the rotation distance of the reel screen mechanism F1.

  The front standby position is disposed outside the operation range of the reel screen mechanism F1, and the reel standby position is disposed outside the operation range of the front screen mechanism E1. That is, each of the front standby position and the reel standby position is arranged in a range excluding the overlapping range in the operation range.

  On the other hand, the front exposure position is disposed within the operation range of the reel screen mechanism F1, and the reel exposure position is disposed within the operation range of the front screen mechanism E1. That is, each of the front exposure position and the reel exposure position is disposed in an overlapping range in the operation range. Accordingly, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposed position, the reel screen mechanism F1 cannot be disposed at the reel exposed position. Further, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position, the front screen mechanism E1 cannot be disposed at the front exposure position.

  The rotation center axis FG of the front screen mechanism E1 and the rotation center axis RG of the reel screen mechanism F1 are set so that the overlapping of the operation ranges due to the rotation of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 is minimized. It is different. Specifically, the rotation center axis FG of the front screen mechanism E1 is set higher than the rotation center axis RG of the reel screen mechanism F1 in the front standby position direction. Specifically, the rotation center axis FG is disposed above the center position of the front screen mechanism E1 disposed at the front exposure position. Thereby, since the distance between the front screen mechanism E1 and the rotation center axis FG can be shortened, the operation range between the front standby position and the front exposure position in the front screen mechanism E1 can be reduced. By reducing the operation range in this way, it is possible to increase the size of the front screen mechanism E1 even in a limited space in the display unit A. Note that both the rotation center axis FG and the rotation center axis RG are arranged in front of the rear end position of the fixed screen mechanism D.

  Further, the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are rotatable on condition that one of the screen mechanisms E1 and F1 is present at the standby position. Thereby, interference at the time of rotation of screen mechanism E1 * F1 is prevented. Details of operations of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 will be described later.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Fixed screen mechanism D)
As shown in FIGS. 45 and 46, the fixed screen mechanism D is fixed on the bottom plate C1 of the screen casing C10 by screw fastening. The fixed screen mechanism D has a front reflection part D1, a right reflection part D2, a left reflection part D3, and a lower reflection part D4. The reflecting surfaces of these reflecting portions D1 to D4 are projection surfaces onto which the irradiation light from the irradiation light device B is projected, and are set at different angles with respect to the optical axis of the irradiation light from the irradiation light device B. Yes.

  In addition, if the fixed screen mechanism D is a structure which has a reflective surface of several different angles with respect to the optical axis of irradiation light, it may have a reflective part of 2 surfaces, 3 surfaces, 5 surfaces, for example, Or you may provide the reflection part of the curved or circular-arc-shaped reflective surface in which the curvature center point located in the front side becomes an angle continuously different with respect to an optical axis.

  The front reflecting portion D1 has a reflecting surface opposed to the player on the front side, and reflects most of the reflected light from the irradiation light device B disposed in the upper front portion of the fixed screen mechanism D forward. It is set to be. The right side reflection part D2 and the left side reflection part D3 are joined to the right side part and the left side part of the front reflection part D1, and are arranged symmetrically about the front reflection part D1. The right side reflection part D2 and the left side reflection part D3 are arranged such that the width between the front end parts is larger than the width in the left-right direction of the front reflection part D1. As a result, the right-side reflection part D2 and the left-side reflection part D3 make the reflection direction of the irradiation light with respect to the reflection surface easier to face in the direction of the front reflection part D1, so that a part of the irradiation light appears in front while the image by the irradiation light appears. The light is reflected in the direction of the reflection part D1. In addition, with respect to the lower surface reflection portion D4, since the reflection direction of the irradiation light with respect to the reflection surface is easily directed toward the front reflection portion D1, a part of the irradiation light is caused to appear in the direction of the front reflection portion D1 while causing an image of the irradiation light to appear. It is designed to reflect.

  In the fixed screen mechanism D described above, the brightness of the reflecting surface is set lower than the brightness of each reflecting surface of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1, which will be described later. That is, in the fixed screen mechanism D, the amount of light reflected by the reflecting surface of the irradiation light is made smaller than the amount of light reflected by the reflecting surfaces of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1. As a result, the fixed screen mechanism D is prevented from being blurred due to light mixing due to irregular reflection of the reflecting portions D1 to D4. In the fixed screen mechanism D, the lightness of the other reflection parts D2, D3, and D4 may be lower than the lightness of the front reflection part D1. In this case, since the reflection to the front reflection part D1 of the irradiation light in the other reflection parts D2, D3, and D4 can be reduced, white blur can be reduced while causing an image to appear strongly in the front reflection part D1.

As the brightness, Brightness in the L ^* a ^* b ^* color system (L ^* a ^* b ^* color space) or the L ^* u ^* v ^* color system (L ^* u ^* v ^* color space) is adopted. However, any other color can be defined as long as other colors can be expressed by relative values with white as a reference.

  The lightness of the reflection surface of the fixed screen mechanism D and the lightness of the reflection surfaces of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are the same as the lightness of the reflection surface of the fixed screen mechanism D and the reflection of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1. If it is lower than the brightness of a surface, it will not specifically limit. For example, the brightness of the reflecting surface of the fixed screen mechanism D may be set to a value lower by about 5 to 25% (or 10 to 20%) than the brightness of the reflecting surfaces of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1.

  In order to make the lightness of the reflection surface of the fixed screen mechanism D lower than the lightness of the reflection surfaces of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1, the color of the paint applied to the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D is changed to the front screen. What is necessary is just to make it black rather than the color of the coating material apply | coated to the base material of the mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1. For example, a white paint is used as the coating material applied to the base material of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1, and the coating material applied to the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D is the front screen mechanism E1 or the reel screen mechanism F1. What added the black pigment to the coating material apply | coated to a base material should just be used.

  In such a paint, the brightness of the reflection surface of the screen mechanism can be changed by changing the ratio of the white pigment (for example, titanium oxide) and the black pigment (for example, carbon black). For example, the paint applied to the base material of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 includes only a white pigment among white pigment and black pigment, and the paint applied to the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D includes Both a white pigment and a black pigment may be included. In addition, the ratio of the black pigment to the white pigment (for example, 5 to 25% (or It may be increased by about 10 to 20%). In addition, as a coating material applied to the base material of these screen mechanisms, a conventionally known screen coating material can be appropriately employed and can be adjusted according to a screen type (for example, a diffusion type or a reflection type). .

  Note that the black pigment is not dispersed in the coating material applied to the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D, but before the base material of the fixed screen mechanism D is molded. By doing so, the base material itself may be colored to lower the brightness of the base material itself.

  Further, from the viewpoint of preventing irregular reflection of light, members constituting the screen casing C10 such as peripheral walls (the bottom plate C1, the right side plate C2, the left side plate C3, and the back plate C4), and the interior of the screen casing C10. It is desirable that the brightness of the other members (members other than the screen) disposed in the panel is also lowered. The brightness of these members is desirably lower than the brightness of the reflecting surface of the fixed screen mechanism D. For example, it is not necessary to consider that an image is projected as a screen for the surrounding wall. The lower the better. That is, it is desirable that the color of the surrounding wall is closer to black.

As shown in FIG. 54, the front screen mechanism E1 includes a rectangular front screen member E11 having a projection surface E11a on the entire surface, and a front screen support E12 having patterns such as a first pattern surface E12a on both surfaces. Have. The front screen member E11 is formed by applying screen paint to a thin flat panel. Thereby, as for the front screen member E11, the projection surface E11a is formed in flat shape.

  On the other hand, the front screen support E12 has a holding recess E121 that holds the front screen member E11. The holding recess E121 has an opening shape similar to that of the projection surface E11a of the front screen member E11 in a slightly enlarged state, and accommodates the entire front screen member E11. In addition, the holding recess E121 is set in two stages of a deep part and a shallow part. The shallow portion is realized by a stepped portion E121a formed at the peripheral portion of the front screen support base E12 and a stepped portion E121b formed linearly at both ends in the short direction passing through the center portion.

  Accordingly, the front screen member E11 accommodated in the holding recess E121 is abutted and supported by the stepped portion E121a at the peripheral edge and the linear stepped portion E121b passing through the central portion, and is separated from the remaining deep portion. It is in a state. As a result, the deformation of the front screen support E12 in the deep portion is prevented from deforming the front screen member E11 and causing distortion on the projection surface E11a.

  Further, the front screen support E12 has a first pattern surface E12a in a partial region around the projection surface E11a. The first pattern surface E12a is visible to the player in front when the front screen mechanism E1 is positioned at the front exposure position. Further, the front screen support E12 has a second pattern surface E12b on the entire surface opposite to the first pattern surface E12a. The second pattern surface E12b is visible to the player in front when the front screen mechanism E1 is positioned at the front standby position. In these first pattern surface E12a and second pattern surface E12b, for example, a pattern related to a game effect is three-dimensionally formed by unevenness.

  The front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 configured as described above are formed separately and then integrated by bonding with an adhesive. Thus, the front screen mechanism E1 is mechanically separated from the front screen member E11 even if sink marks may occur due to molding shrinkage or the like when forming a pattern or the like on the front screen support base E12. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front screen member E11 from being distorted due to sink marks on the projection surface E11a.

  Note that the method for fixing the front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 is not limited to bonding with an adhesive, and any method such as screw fastening may be employed.

  The flat panel constituting the front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 are each produced by injection molding. As a material of the flat panel constituting the front screen member E11 and the front screen support base E12, a thermoplastic resin (for example, ABS resin or the like) that can cause sink marks when injection molding is performed is appropriately adopted. it can.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Front screen drive mechanism E2)
The front screen mechanism E1 is rotatable by the driving force of the front screen drive mechanism E2. 45 and 46, the front screen drive mechanism E2 includes a left front screen drive mechanism E2A connected to the lower surface of the left end of the front screen mechanism E1, and a right connected to the lower surface of the right end of the front screen mechanism E1. And a front screen drive mechanism E2B.

  As shown in FIG. 53, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position (when in the standby posture), the front screen mechanism E1 is inclined upward from the rear end portion toward the front end portion. It is configured as such. The inclination of the front screen mechanism E1 is substantially parallel to the inclined portion B15b of the perforated plate B15 and the inclined surface B2a1 on the lower surface B2a of the projector mechanism B2.

  As described above, the posture of the front screen mechanism E1 when placed at the front standby position is set to an inclined posture in which the front screen mechanism E1 is inclined upward from the rear end portion toward the front end portion, thereby being parallel to the horizontal plane. Compared to the case of the posture, it is possible to suppress the irradiation light irradiated by the irradiation light device B from being obstructed by the front screen mechanism E1. Thereby, the vertical position of the front screen mechanism E1 when placed at the front standby position can be brought closer to the fixed screen mechanism D. As a result, the front screen mechanism E1 can be enlarged even in a limited space of the display unit A. In addition, since the lower surface B2a of the projector mechanism B2 has the inclined surface B2a1 as described above, the vertical position of the front screen mechanism E1 when placed at the front standby position is determined with respect to the projector mechanism B2. You can get closer. As a result, the front screen mechanism E1 can be further increased in size.

  As shown in FIGS. 55 and 56, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B includes a crank member E22, a crank gear E21, an intermediate gear E23, a motor shaft gear E24, and a drive motor E25. The crank member E22 in the right front screen drive mechanism E2B has an upper end (one end) located at the upper position when the front end is disposed at the front exposed position (in the exposed posture) on the back of the right end of the front screen mechanism E1. It is connected to.

  As shown in FIG. 57, the crank member E22 is pivotally supported by the right movable body base C5 (see FIG. 45) at the intermediate position E22a. As a result, the crank member E22 can rotate the upper end portion and the lower end portion (the other end portion) with the intermediate position E22a as the rotation center. The intermediate position E22a coincides with the rotation center axis FG of the front screen mechanism E1.

  As described above, the rotation center axis FG of the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed above the center position of the front screen mechanism E1 disposed at the front exposure position. The crank member E22 has an upper end portion (one end portion) connected to a position that is an upper portion when it is disposed at the front exposed position (in the exposed posture) on the rear surface of the right end portion of the front screen mechanism E1. . With the above configuration, the operation range between the front standby position and the front exposure position in the front screen mechanism E1 can be reduced, so that the front screen mechanism E1 can be increased in size.

  The crank member E22 has an upper region on the upper end side from the intermediate position E22a and a lower region on the lower end side from the intermediate position E22a. When the crank member E22 is viewed from the side as shown in FIG. 57, the center line in the upper region (a straight line passing through the intermediate position E22a and the midpoint of the upper end side of the crank member E22) is in the vertical direction in the standby posture. Is set to On the other hand, the center line in the lower region (a straight line passing through the intermediate position E22a and the midpoint at the lower end side of the crank member E22) is set so that the lower side is inclined more forward than the upper side in the standby posture.

  A slide groove E22b is formed in the lower region of the crank member E22. The slide groove E22b is formed such that the groove wall surface E22b1 has a U-shape when viewed from the side. The U-shape is composed of two straight portions and a curved portion connecting the ends of the two straight portions. The two straight portions are formed in parallel, and in the slide groove E22b, a surface corresponding to the straight portion of the groove wall surface E22b1 is set parallel to the center line of the lower region. A slide member E26 is movably engaged with the slide groove E22b. The groove width of the slide groove E22b (distance between the two straight portions) is substantially equal to the member width of the slide member E26, and is set to slide during movement. That is, the slide member E26 is always in contact with the groove wall surface E22b1 of the slide groove E22b. Further, the upper end portion of the slide groove E22b is set so that the slide member E26 contacts the upper end surface (surface corresponding to the curved portion) when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture. On the other hand, the lower end portion of the slide groove E22b is open so that a part of the slide member E26 can be exposed.

  The slide member E26 is rotatably supported at an eccentric position E21b of the crank gear E21. As shown in FIG. 55, the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 is rotatably supported by the right movable body base C5 and the first support portion C23 of the right side plate C2. The gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 has a line segment connecting the gear shaft E21a and the eccentric position E21b between the intermediate position E22a and the slide member E26 in the crank member E22 when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture. It is set so as to have a relationship orthogonal to the line segment connecting the center point.

  Thereby, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture, even if a force is applied in a direction in which the lower region of the crank member E22 is rotated, the gear shaft E21a is applied in the direction in which all components of the force are applied. Exists and acts as a fixed end, so that the slide member E26 does not move. As a result, a truss structure is formed by a three-joint link having zero degrees of freedom with the intermediate position E22a of the crank member E22 and the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 as fixed ends and the slide member E26 as a free end. Even when E1 is pushed by hand, the front screen mechanism E1 does not move because the crank member E22 and the crank gear E21 act as a strong brake.

  An intermediate gear E23 is meshed with the crank gear E21. The intermediate gear E23 is pivotally supported by the right movable body base C5 and the second support portion C24 of the right side plate C2. A motor shaft gear E24 is meshed with the intermediate gear E23. The motor shaft gear E24 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor E25. Thereby, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B can transmit the rotational driving force of the drive motor E25 to the crank gear E21 via the motor shaft gear E24 and the intermediate gear E23.

  Here, all the components of the rotational driving force applied to the crank gear E21 coincide with the tangential direction of the turning locus of the slide member E26. As shown in FIGS. 58 and 60, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture, a line segment connecting the gear shaft E21a and the eccentric position E21b is slid from the intermediate position E22a in the crank member E22. Since it is set to have a relationship orthogonal to the line connecting the center point of the member E26, the tangential direction of the turning trajectory is parallel to the groove wall surface of the slide groove E22b of the crank member E22. Accordingly, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture, there is a groove wall surface that becomes a reaction force in the moving direction (tangential direction) of the slide member E26 when a rotational driving force is applied to the crank gear E21. Therefore, the crank gear E21 easily starts rotating.

  When a rotational driving force is applied to the crank gear E21, the slide member E26 provided at the eccentric position E21b is movable along the slide groove E22b by sliding with the slide groove E22b. The intermediate position E22a and the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 are fixed ends, and a one-degree-of-freedom two-joint link is formed in which the slide member E26 is a free end movable along the groove wall surface. When the slide member E26 rotates, the crank member E22 having the slide groove E22b with which the slide member E26 is engaged rotates about the intermediate position E22a, and the upper region of the crank member E22 rotates. Become. As a result, the front screen mechanism E1 moves between the front standby position and the front exposure position.

  The drive motor F24 is a stepping motor, is electrically connected to the main control board MS (see FIG. 32) via the relay board CK, and is driven by the control of the main control board MS.

  Further, the moving speed of the front screen mechanism E1 is in the stop state 0 when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposure posture, and gradually increases to an intermediate posture between the standby posture and the exposure posture (see FIG. 59). ), The vehicle gradually decelerates and becomes a stop state 0 when the exposure posture and the standby posture are reached. Thus, the rotation can be started and stopped in a state where the angular acceleration of the crank gear E21 is small (moment of inertia), so that the torque required for the crank gear E21 can be reduced, and as a result, the drive mechanism ( It is possible to reduce failures and wear due to overloading of the intermediate gear E23, the motor shaft gear E24, and the drive motor E25).

  As shown in FIG. 61, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B configured as described above has the same configuration as the left front screen drive mechanism E2A except for the motor shaft gear E24 and the drive motor E25. The left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the right front screen drive mechanism E2B are arranged symmetrically.

  The intermediate gear E23 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the intermediate gear E23 of the right front screen drive mechanism E2B are coupled via a shaft member E3.

  Specifically, the shaft member E3 extends in the left-right direction, and intermediate gears E23 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the right front screen drive mechanism E2B are connected to both ends thereof. Further, the shaft member E3 is disposed in a space between the back plate C4 and the fixed screen mechanism D behind the fixed screen mechanism D (see FIG. 53).

  In the above configuration, when the drive motor E25 is driven, the motor shaft gear E24 is rotated. As the motor shaft gear E24 rotates, the intermediate gears E23 and E23 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the shaft member E3 rotate together. Then, the crank gears E21 and E21 are rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the intermediate gears E23 and E23, whereby the front screen mechanism E1 is rotated about the rotation center axis FG, and the front standby position is set. It moves between front exposure positions.

  As described above, by connecting the intermediate gears E23 and E23 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the right front screen drive mechanism E2B by the shaft member E3, the rotational driving force of the drive motor E25 is applied to the two crank members E22. It becomes possible to transmit evenly. Therefore, compared with the case where these intermediate gears E23 and E23 are not connected by the shaft member E3, it is possible to prevent the driving load from being concentrated on one of the two crank members E22. Further, since the drive motor E25 is provided in the right front screen drive mechanism E2B arranged on the right side of the fixed screen mechanism D, the arrangement of the fixed screen mechanism D is not hindered.

  In addition, the shaft member E3 is not used as the rotation shaft of the front screen mechanism E1. For this reason, the freedom degree of arrangement | positioning of the shaft member E3 increases, and it becomes possible to arrange | position the shaft member E3 so that arrangement | positioning of other supplements, such as the fixed screen mechanism D, may not be inhibited. As a result, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom of the arrangement of the extra items while maintaining the rotation range and size of the front screen mechanism E1 at a desired level.

  Further, since the shaft member E3 is disposed behind the fixed screen mechanism D, the light projected on the fixed screen mechanism D is not hindered by the shaft member E3. Further, since the rotation center axis FG of the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed in front of the rear end position of the fixed screen mechanism D, compared with the case where it is disposed rearward of the rear end position of the fixed screen mechanism D. Thus, the length between the front screen mechanism E1 and the rotation center axis FG (the length of the crank member E22) can be shortened. For this reason, even when the space in the cabinet G is limited and the display unit A cannot be enlarged, the size of the front screen mechanism E1 can be maintained to a desired level.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Reel screen mechanism F1)
As shown in FIG. 52, the reel screen mechanism F1 is formed of a curved flat plate. The reel screen mechanism F1 has a circular arc shape when viewed from the side, which is curved in a shape that approximates the rotation direction. On the surface of the reel screen mechanism F1, a pattern is formed on the peripheral edge, and an inner peripheral area of the peripheral edge is a projection surface F1a. This projection surface F1a is an arcuate surface that protrudes upstream in the irradiation direction of light from the projector mechanism B2 when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position. In addition, a pattern is formed on the rear surface on the rotation center side in the reel screen mechanism F1. The pattern on the back surface is made visible to the player in front when the reel screen mechanism F1 is positioned at the reel standby position.

  The reel screen mechanism F1 is rotatable between the reel standby position and the reel exposure position by the driving force of the reel screen drive mechanism F2. When the reel screen mechanism F1 is positioned at the reel exposure position, the projection surface F1a can appear an image by irradiation with irradiation light.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Reel screen drive mechanism F2)
As shown in FIGS. 62 and 63, the reel screen drive mechanism F2 has two arm members F21 and F21, an arcuate gear F22, a motor shaft gear F23, and a drive motor F24. One end of each of the two arm members F21 and F21 is connected to the back surface of the right end portion and the back surface of the left end portion of the reel screen mechanism F1. Further, support shafts F21a and F21a projecting outward in the left-right direction are formed on the outer surfaces of the other end portions of the two arm members F21 and F21. These support shafts F21a and F21a are rotatably supported by the right movable body base C5 and the left movable body base C6, respectively. Thereby, the two arm members F21 can be rotated about the support shafts F21a and F21a as the rotation center. The support shafts F21a and F21a coincide with the rotation center axis RG of the reel screen mechanism F1.

  The arcuate gear F22 is fixed to the distal end portion of the support shaft F21a arranged on the right side of the two support shafts F21a and F21a. A motor shaft gear F23 is meshed with the arcuate gear F22. The motor shaft gear F23 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor F24. The drive motor F24 is a stepping motor, is electrically connected to the main control board MS (see FIG. 32) via the relay board CK, and is driven by the control of the main control board MS.

  In the above configuration, when the drive motor E25 is driven under the control of the main control board MS, the motor shaft gear E24 rotates. As the motor shaft gear E24 rotates, the arcuate gear F22 rotates. Then, the arm member F21 is rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the arcuate gear F22, whereby the reel screen mechanism F1 is rotated about the rotation center axis RG, and the reel standby position and the reel exposure position. Will work between.

(Display unit A: Screen device C: Sensor mechanism CS)
As described above, the operation ranges of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 partially overlap each other (see FIG. 53). Further, the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are driven by different drive mechanisms. That is, the driving of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 is not linked (synchronized). Therefore, in order to prevent interference (contact) between the screen mechanisms E1 and F1, it is necessary to grasp the positions of the screen mechanisms E1 and F1. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the main control board MS (see FIG. 32) grasps the position of the front screen mechanism E1 based on the number of steps of the drive motor E25 from the origin position with the front standby position as the origin position. ing. Similarly, the reel standby position is set as the origin position, and the position of the reel screen mechanism F1 is grasped based on the number of steps of the drive motor F24 from the origin position.

  However, if the operation of the front screen mechanism E1 or the reel screen mechanism F1 is not normally performed, or if the front screen mechanism E1 or the reel screen mechanism F1 is manually moved while the power is shut off, the main control is performed. The substrate MS cannot grasp the exact positions of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1. If the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are operated in such a situation, they may interfere with each other.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 64 to 67, the screen device C includes a sensor mechanism CS for detecting the positions of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1. Then, the main control board MS performs a return operation for returning the screen mechanisms E1 and F1 to the origin position (standby position) based on the detection result from the sensor mechanism CS.

  The crank member E22 in the right front screen drive mechanism E2B has a light shielding portion E22d in the upper region and a light shielding portion E22e in the lower region. A light shielding portion F1b is formed on the rear surface of the right end portion of the reel screen mechanism F1.

  The sensor mechanism CS has three sensors CS1 to CS3. These sensors CS1 to CS3 are transmissive optical sensors, and are formed in a substantially U shape as shown in FIG. One end of the U-shaped open side is a light emitting unit that emits light, and the other end is a light receiving unit that receives light. These sensors CS1 to CS3 output a Low signal to the main control board MS when the light receiving unit receives the light emitted from the light emitting unit, and the light emitted from the light emitting unit is blocked and the light receiving unit When light cannot be received, a Hi signal is output to the main control board MS.

  The sensor CS1 is a sensor for detecting whether or not the front screen mechanism E1 exists at the front standby position. The sensor CS1 is fixedly disposed on the rotation locus of the light shielding portion E22d in the crank member E22. Specifically, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the front standby position (see FIG. 65), the sensor CS1 sandwiches the light shielding portion E22d between the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion, and the front screen mechanism E1 is in the front standby state. When it does not exist at the position (see FIG. 66), the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit are fixedly disposed at a position where the light shielding unit E22d is not sandwiched. Accordingly, the sensor CS1 outputs a Hi signal to the main control board MS when the front screen mechanism E1 exists at the front standby position, and a Low signal when it does not exist at the front standby position.

  The sensor CS2 is a sensor for detecting whether or not the front screen mechanism E1 is present at the front exposure position. This sensor CS2 is fixedly arranged on the rotation locus of the light shielding portion E22e in the crank member E22. Specifically, when the front screen mechanism E1 exists at the front exposure position (see FIG. 66), the sensor CS2 sandwiches the light shielding portion E22e between the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion, and the front screen mechanism E1 is at the front exposure position. When not present (see FIG. 65), the light-emitting portion and the light-receiving portion are fixedly arranged at positions where the light-shielding portion E22e is not sandwiched. Therefore, the sensor CS2 outputs a Hi signal to the main control board MS when the front screen mechanism E1 exists at the front exposure position, and outputs a Low signal when it does not exist at the front exposure position.

  The sensor CS3 is a sensor for detecting whether or not the reel screen mechanism F1 is present at the reel standby position. The sensor CS3 is fixedly arranged on the rotation locus of the light shielding portion F1b in the reel screen mechanism F1. Specifically, the sensor CS2 sandwiches the light shielding portion F1b between the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion when the reel screen mechanism F1 is in the reel standby position (see FIG. 65), and the reel screen mechanism F1 is in the reel standby position. When not present (see FIG. 67), the light-emitting part and the light-receiving part are fixedly arranged at positions where the light-shielding part F1b is not sandwiched. Accordingly, the sensor CS3 outputs a Hi signal to the main control board MS when the reel screen mechanism F1 exists at the reel standby position, and outputs a Low signal when it does not exist at the reel standby position.

  In the above configuration, the detection signals from the sensors CS1 and CS2 indicate whether the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position, the front exposure position, or an intermediate position between them. Yes. The detection signal from the sensor CS3 indicates whether the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at a position other than the reel standby position or the reel standby position.

  Further, as described above, since the front standby position and the reel standby position are arranged in the overlapping range in the operation range of the screen mechanisms E1 and F1, when the front screen mechanism E1 is arranged at the front exposure position, The reel screen mechanism F1 cannot be disposed at the reel exposure position. For this reason, when the sensor CS2 detects that the front screen is present at the front exposed position, it indicates that the reel screen mechanism F1 is not present at the reel exposed position.

(Operation control of front screen mechanism E1)
Next, prior to describing the return-to-origin operation, operation control during normal operation of each of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 will be described. The main control board MS controls the drive motor E25 to rotate the front screen mechanism E1 between the front standby position and the front exposure position. The turning operation of the front screen mechanism E1 is executed on condition that the reel screen mechanism F1 is present at the reel standby position.

  As mentioned earlier, the main control board MS grasps the position of the front screen mechanism E1 with the front standby position as the origin position and the number of steps of the drive motor E25 from this origin position. For example, as shown in FIG. 68, when the number of steps is 210, it can be recognized that the front screen mechanism E1 is at the front exposure position. In this embodiment, when the number of steps is 20-21, the detection signal of the sensor CS1 switches between the Hi signal and the Low signal, and when the number of steps is 190-191, the detection of the sensor CS2 The signal switches between a Hi signal and a Low signal.

  The main control board MS controls the rotation direction and rotation speed of the front screen mechanism E1 by controlling the motor rotation direction and pulse width of the drive motor E25. Hereinafter, in the drive motor E25, the motor rotation direction for moving the front screen mechanism E1 from the front standby position to the front exposure position is in the positive direction, and the motor rotation direction for moving the front screen mechanism E1 from the front exposure position to the front standby position is in the negative direction. And

  FIG. 69 shows an example of a control sequence of the drive motor E25 when the front screen mechanism E1 is rotated from the front standby position to the front exposure position. In this control sequence, first, the drive motor E25 is excited with a pulse width of 100 ms without updating the phase from the previous excitation phase (procedure 1), and then the drive motor E25 has a pulse width of 2.2 ms in the + direction. To drive 210 steps (step 2). As a result, the front screen mechanism E1 rotates from the front standby position to the front exposure position. Thereafter, the drive motor E25 is excited with a pulse width of 100 ms without updating the phase from the previous excitation phase (procedure 3). The above is the control sequence for rotating the front standby position to the front exposure position. The control sequence for rotating the front screen mechanism E1 from the front standby position to the front exposure position is a sequence in which the motor rotation direction of the drive motor E25 according to the procedure 2 in the control sequence of FIG. do it.

(Operation control of reel screen mechanism F1)
Next, normal operation control of the reel screen mechanism F1 will be described. The main control board MS controls the drive motor F24 to rotate the reel screen mechanism F1 between the reel standby position and the reel exposure position. This rotation operation of the reel screen mechanism F1 is executed on condition that the front screen mechanism E1 is present at the front standby position.

  As shown in FIG. 70, the main control board MS uses the reel standby position as the origin position, and grasps the position of the reel screen mechanism F1 by the number of steps of the drive motor F24 from this origin position. For example, when the number of steps is 140, it can be grasped that the reel screen mechanism F1 is at the reel exposure position. In the present embodiment, when the number of steps is 1-2, the detection signal of the sensor CS3 switches between the Hi signal and the Low signal.

  The main control board MS controls the rotation direction and rotation speed of the reel screen mechanism F1 by controlling the motor rotation direction and pulse width of the drive motor F24. Hereinafter, in the drive motor F24, the motor rotation direction for moving the reel screen mechanism F1 from the reel standby position to the reel exposure position is positive, and the motor rotation direction for moving the reel screen mechanism F1 from the reel exposure position to the reel standby position is negative. And

  FIG. 71 shows an example of a control sequence of the drive motor F24 when the reel screen mechanism F1 is rotated from the reel standby position to the reel exposure position. In this control sequence, first, the drive motor F24 is excited with a pulse width of 100 ms without updating the phase from the previous excitation phase (procedure 1), and then the drive motor F24 is set to 8 in the positive direction with a pulse width of 4 ms. The number of steps is driven (procedure 2). Thereby, the rotation of the reel screen mechanism F1 from the reel standby position to the reel exposure position is started, and the rotation speed of the reel screen mechanism F1 is accelerated. Thereafter, the drive motor F24 is driven 122 steps in the positive direction with a pulse width of 3 ms (procedure 3). Thereafter, the drive motor F24 is driven 122 steps in the positive direction with a pulse width of 5 ms (procedure 4). Thereby, the rotational speed of the reel screen mechanism F1 is decelerated. Then, the drive motor F24 is excited with a pulse width of 100 ms without updating the phase from the previous excitation phase (procedure 5). The above is the control sequence for rotating the reel from the reel standby position to the reel exposure position. In the control sequence for rotating the reel screen mechanism F1 from the reel standby position to the reel exposure position, the motor rotation direction of the drive motor E25 according to steps 2 to 4 in the control sequence of FIG. A sequence may be used.

  As described above, the main control board MS drives the front screen mechanism E1 on the condition that the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position, and the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position. Since the reel screen mechanism F1 is driven on the condition, interference when the screen mechanisms are rotated can be prevented.

(Origin return operation of front screen mechanism E1 and reel screen mechanism F1)
Next, the origin return operation of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 will be described. This origin return operation is executed at a predetermined timing such as when the power is shut off.

  Here, the detection signal of the sensor CS1 switches from the Hi signal to the Low signal when the front screen mechanism E1 is driven in the + direction by several steps from the origin position in the positive direction (see FIG. 68). Therefore, even if the detection signal of the sensor CS1 is a Hi signal, the position of the front screen mechanism E1 may not coincide with the origin position. Similarly, even if the detection signal of the sensor CS3 is a Hi signal, the position of the reel screen mechanism F1 may not coincide with the origin position. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the detection signal of the sensor CS1 is a Hi signal, the origin return operation related to the front screen mechanism E1 is performed, and even if the detection signal of the sensor CS3 is a Hi signal, the reel screen mechanism F1 The origin return operation is performed.

  Further, the main control board MS is capable of executing the four basic operations of operations 1 to 4 by driving the drive motor F24 and the drive motor E25 in the origin return operation. Operations 1 and 2 are operations related to the front screen mechanism E1, and operations 3 and 4 are operations related to the reel screen mechanism F1.

  The operation 1 is an operation executed when the detection signal output from the sensor CS1 is a Hi signal. Specifically, the operation 1 is an operation of driving the drive motor E25 in the + direction by about 30 to 40 steps. Thereby, the detection signal output from the sensor CS1 can be reliably switched from the Hi signal to the Low signal.

  The operation 2 is an operation executed when the detection signal output from the sensor CS1 is a Low signal. Specifically, the operation 2 is an operation in which the drive motor E25 is driven in the negative direction, and is stopped by driving 20 steps after the signal output from the sensor CS1 is switched from the Low signal to the Hi signal. As mentioned earlier, when the number of steps of the drive motor E25 is 20-21 when the front standby position is the origin position, the detection signal of the sensor CS1 switches between the Hi signal and the Low signal. Therefore, by performing this operation 2, the front screen mechanism E1 can be reliably returned to the origin position.

  The operation 3 is an operation executed when the detection signal output from the sensor CS3 is a Hi signal. Specifically, this is an operation of driving the drive motor F24 in the + direction by about 10 to 20 steps. Thereby, the detection signal output from the sensor CS3 can be reliably switched from the Hi signal to the Low signal.

  The operation 4 is an operation executed when the detection signal output from the sensor CS3 is a Low signal. Specifically, the operation 4 is an operation in which the drive motor F24 is driven in the negative direction, and the signal output from the sensor CS3 is driven and stopped by one step after the signal is switched from the Low signal to the Hi signal. As mentioned earlier, when the number of steps of the drive motor F24 is 1-2 when the reel standby position is set to the origin position, the detection signal of the sensor CS3 switches between the Hi signal and the Low signal. Therefore, by performing this operation 4, the reel screen mechanism F1 can be reliably returned to the origin position.

  As shown in FIG. 72, since the sensor mechanism CS has three sensors CS1 to CS3, there are eight combinations of detection states of these sensors CS1 to CS3 in total. Here, since the front screen mechanism E1 is not disposed at the front standby position and the front exposure position at the same time, of the eight types of sensor states, the two types of sensor CS1 and sensor CS2 both output Hi signals. In the sensor state (state 1 and state 2), an abnormality such as a failure of the sensor CS1 and the sensor CS2 has occurred. Accordingly, when both the sensor CS1 and the sensor CS2 output the Hi signal, the main control board MS determines that an abnormality has occurred, and notifies the abnormality by sound or video through a speaker, a monitor, or the like.

  In the memory of the main control board MS, the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen according to six sensor states (states 3 to 8) excluding the above two sensor states among the eight sensor states of the sensor mechanism CS. Six types of driving procedures for the mechanism F1 are stored. These six types of driving procedures are determined so that the screen mechanisms do not interfere as much as possible. Hereinafter, a driving procedure according to each of the six types of sensor states will be described.

  When the sensor CS1 and the sensor CS3 output a Hi signal and the sensor CS2 outputs a Low signal (state 3), both the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are out of the operating range of the other screen mechanism. Is arranged. Accordingly, in the driving procedure according to the state 3, the main control board MS first performs the operations 1 and 2 to return the front screen mechanism E1 to the origin position. Thereafter, the reel screen mechanism F1 is returned to the origin position by continuously performing the operations 3 and 4.

  When the sensor CS1 outputs a Hi signal and the sensor CS2 and the sensor CS3 output a Low signal (state 4), the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed outside the operation range of the reel screen mechanism F1, and the reel The screen mechanism is disposed at a reel exposure position or an intermediate position between the reel exposure position and the reel standby position. Here, when the operation range of the reel screen mechanism F1 is outside the operation range of the front screen mechanism E1, the range is on the reel standby position side (non-overlapping range), and when the operation range is within the operation range of the front screen mechanism E1, it is on the reel exposure position side. It is divided into two ranges: a range (overlap range). The boundary between the overlapping range and the non-overlapping range exists between the reel exposure position and the reel standby position. For this reason, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the intermediate position, the reel screen mechanism F1 may be disposed within an overlapping range that is within the operation range of the front screen mechanism E1. Therefore, in the driving procedure according to the state 4, the main control board MS first performs the operation 4 to return the reel screen mechanism F1 to the origin position. Then, the operation | movement 1 and the operation | movement 2 are performed continuously, and the front screen mechanism E1 is returned to an origin position.

  When the sensor CS2 and the sensor CS3 output a Hi signal and the sensor CS1 outputs a Low signal (state 5), the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed within the operation range of the reel screen mechanism F1, and The reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed outside the operating range of the front screen mechanism E1. Accordingly, in the driving procedure according to the state 5, the main control board MS first performs the operation 2 to return the front screen mechanism E1 to the origin position. Thereafter, the reel screen mechanism F1 is returned to the origin position by continuously performing the operations 3 and 4.

  In the sensor state (state 6) in which the sensor CS2 outputs a Hi signal and the sensors CS1 and CS3 output a Low signal, the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position, and the reel screen mechanism F1. Are arranged at intermediate positions. In this state 6, similarly to the above-described state 4, the reel screen mechanism F1 may be disposed within the operation range of the front screen mechanism E1. Therefore, in the driving procedure according to the state 6, the main control board MS first performs the operation 4 to return the reel screen mechanism F1 to the origin position. Thereafter, by performing the operation 2, the front screen mechanism E1 is returned to the origin position.

  When the sensor CS3 outputs the Hi signal and the sensor CS1 and the sensor CS2 output the Low signal (state 7), the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the intermediate position, and the reel screen mechanism F1 is It is disposed outside the operating range of the front screen mechanism E1. Therefore, in the driving procedure according to the state 7, the main control board MS first performs the operation 2 to return the front screen mechanism E1 to the origin position. Thereafter, the reel screen mechanism F1 is returned to the origin position by continuously performing the operations 3 and 4.

  When the sensors CS1 to CS3 are in a sensor state (state 8) that outputs a Low signal, the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the intermediate position, and the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the intermediate position or the reel exposure position. Here, the operation range of the front screen mechanism E1 also falls outside the operation range of the reel screen mechanism F1, and is on the front standby position side (non-overlapping range) and on the front exposure position side within the operation range of the reel screen mechanism F1. The range (overlapping range) is divided into two ranges. The boundary between the overlapping range and the non-overlapping range exists between the front exposure position and the front standby position. Therefore, in the state 8, the front screen mechanism E1 may be disposed within the operation range of the reel screen mechanism F1. For this reason, there is a possibility that each of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed within the operation range of each other. As a result, when one of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 is driven, the other screen mechanism may move due to interference. Therefore, when the return operation is performed by driving the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 based only on the detection results of the sensors CS1 to CS3 at the start of the return operation, one of the screen mechanisms is returned to the origin position. It may not be possible.

  Therefore, in the driving procedure according to the state 8, the main control board MS first performs the operation 2 to return the front screen mechanism E1 to the origin position. Thereafter, the main control board MS determines whether the detection signal of the sensor CS3 is a Hi signal or a Low signal. When the detection signal of the sensor CS3 is a Low signal, the reel screen mechanism F1 is returned to the origin position by performing the operation 4. On the other hand, when the detection signal of the sensor CS3 is a Hi signal, the operations 3 and 4 are continuously performed to return the reel screen mechanism F1 to the origin position.

  As described above, when the sensor state of the sensor mechanism CS is in the state 3 to 7, the screen mechanisms interfere with each other by driving the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 according to the driving procedure corresponding to each state. It is possible to return to the respective origin positions. Further, when the sensor state of the sensor mechanism CS is in the state 8, after the front screen mechanism E1 is returned to the origin position, the reel screen mechanism F1 is returned to the origin position by the driving procedure according to the detection signal of the sensor CS3. Each of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 can be reliably returned to the origin position. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the screen mechanisms from interfering with each other by appropriately driving the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 in the processing after the return operation.

  As a modified example, when the sensor state of the sensor mechanism CS is state 3, the main control board MS performs the operation 3 and the operation 4 continuously, thereby returning the reel screen mechanism F1 to the origin position, and then performing the operation 1 Further, the front screen mechanism E1 may be returned to the origin position by continuously performing the operation 2.

  When the sensor state of the sensor mechanism CS is state 8, the main control board MS first performs operation 4 to return the reel screen mechanism F1 to the origin position. Thereafter, the main control board MS determines whether the detection signal of the sensor CS1 is a Hi signal or a Low signal. When the detection signal of the sensor CS1 is a Low signal, the operation 2 is performed to return the front screen mechanism E1 to the origin position. On the other hand, when the detection signal of the sensor CS1 is a Hi signal, the front screen mechanism E1 may be returned to the origin position by continuously performing the operations 1 and 2.

  The sensors CS1 to CS3 are not limited to transmissive optical sensors, and various sensors such as contact sensors can be employed. In addition, the sensor mechanism CS does not necessarily need to include the three sensors CS1 to CS3. Detection of whether or not the front screen mechanism E1 exists at the front standby position, and the front screen mechanism E1 exists at the front exposed position. If it is possible to detect whether or not to perform the detection and whether or not the reel screen mechanism F1 exists at the reel standby position, the sensor may be configured by one sensor.

(Cabinet G)
(Cabinet G: Medals supply mechanism MH)
As shown in FIG. 73A, a replenishment opening G31 that opens the atmosphere between the inside and the outside of the housing 2 is opened in the back wall G3 of the cabinet G. The supply opening G31 is disposed at the center of the back wall G3. When an automatic circulation replenishing device (not shown) is laid on the installation island where the gaming machine 1 is installed, the screw in a state where the medal replenishment port P serving as a replenishment path of the automatic circulation replenishing device is inserted into the replenishment opening G31. It is fixed.

  As shown in FIG. 73B, the medal replenishment port P inserted through the replenishment opening G31 extends to above the hopper mechanism HP. Thereby, the medal from the automatic circulation supply device can be supplied to the hopper mechanism HP.

  As shown in FIG. 73B, a medal replenishment mechanism MH is provided on the inner side of the housing 2 in the replenishment opening G31 through which the medal replenishment port P is inserted. The medal supply mechanism MH opens and closes the supply opening G31. That is, when the medal replenishment port P of the automatic circulation replenishment device is inserted through the replenishment opening G31, the replenishment opening G31 is released by the medal replenishment mechanism MH. Further, when the medal replenishment port P of the automatic circulation replenishing device is not inserted through the replenishment opening G31, the replenishment opening G31 is blocked by the medal replenishment mechanism MH. The medal supply mechanism MH will be specifically described below.

  As shown in FIGS. 74 and 75, the medal supply mechanism MH includes a shielding member MH1 and a guide member MH2. The shielding member MH1 is slidable in the vertical direction by the guide member MH2, and can switch between a shielding state where the replenishment opening G31 is shielded and a released state where the replenishment opening G31 is exposed. .

  The shielding member MH1 has a flat plate portion MH11 and a protruding portion MH12. The flat plate portion MH11 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape that can shield the supply opening G31 from the inside of the cabinet G of the housing 2. The flat plate portion MH11 has a screw hole MH13 in the upper portion and a screw hole MH14 in the lower portion. Thereby, the shielding member MH1 can be screwed and fixed to the back wall G3 in a shielding state where the replenishment opening G31 is shielded. The protrusion MH12 is formed so as to protrude vertically from the center of the upper edge of the flat plate portion MH11 toward the inside of the cabinet G.

  The guide member MH2 is formed in a rectangular ring shape along the edge of the shielding member MH1 in a shielding state where the replenishment opening G31 is shielded. The guide member MH2 is screwed and fixed to the back wall G3 so as to sandwich the shielding member MH1. Specifically, the guide member MH2 has an upper edge portion MH21, two side edge portions MH22 and MH22, and a lower edge portion MH23.

  The upper edge portion MH21 is formed along the outer side of the upper edge of the shielding member MH1 in the shielding state. That is, the upper edge portion MH21 is adjacent to the upper side of the shielding member MH1 in the shielding state, and restricts the movement of the shielding member MH1 in the vertical upward direction. The two side edge portions MH22 and MH22 are formed along the side edge of the shielding member MH1 in a state of being shielded vertically downward from the one end, with both ends of the upper edge portion MH21 as one end. That is, the two side edge portions MH22 and MH22 are adjacent to the side of the shielding member MH1 in the shielding state, and restrict the movement of the shielding member MH1 to the side.

  The lower edge portion 23 is formed so as to connect the other ends of the two side edge portions MH22 and MH22. In the lower edge portion 23, a holding portion MH23a, a guide groove MH23b, and a screw hole MH23c are formed. The holding portion MH23a is a notch formed at the center of the upper surface of the lower edge portion 23, and is formed to have a width larger than the width of the protruding portion MH12 of the shielding member MH1. Thereby, when the shielding member MH1 in the shielding state is slid vertically downward, the protruding portion MH12 of the shielding member MH1 is supported by the holding portion MH23a. That is, the shielding member MH1 is held in an open state that exposes the supply opening G31. Further, the holding part MH23a is formed to be thinner than the protruding length of the protruding part MH12. Therefore, since the protruding portion MH12 of the shielding member MH1 protrudes from the holding portion MH23a, the protruding portion MH12 can be easily grasped and can be easily shifted from the open state to the shielded state.

  The guide groove MH23b is a groove that engages with the shielding member MH1 formed on the back wall G3 side, and the shielding member MH1 is slid in the vertical direction. The screw hole MH23c is formed at a position where it can be screwed and fixed to the screw hole MH14 when in the shielded state, and at a position where it can be screwed and fixed to the screw hole MH13 when it is in the open state.

  As shown in FIG. 76, the medal replenishment port P is obliquely inserted into the replenishment opening G31. Above the medal supply port P, a scaler device SK is disposed. The scaler device SK includes a scaler substrate SK1 that processes position information input to the touch sensor panel disposed on the liquid crystal display panel surface, and a scaler substrate case SK2 on which the scaler substrate SK1 is installed. The scaler substrate case SK2 is a support member having a concave plate formed so as to surround the medal supply port P inclined in an oblique direction as a bottom surface. The scaler substrate SK1 is inclined and provided on such a scaler substrate case SK2.

(Hopper mechanism HP)
As shown in FIG. 77, a hopper mechanism HP and an overflow bucket OF are disposed below the lower space of the cabinet G.

  The hopper mechanism HP is attached to the central portion of the bottom plate G91 in the cabinet G. This hopper mechanism HP has a structure that can accommodate a large amount of medals and discharge them one by one. The hopper mechanism HP pays out medals when the number of stored medals exceeds a predetermined number or when the settlement button is pressed to settle the medals. The medals paid out by the hopper mechanism HP are discharged from the medal payout exit DD14.

  The overflow bucket OF stores medals overflowing from the hopper mechanism HP. The overflow bucket OF is disposed on the right side of the hopper mechanism HP when the inside of the cabinet G is viewed from the front. The overflow bucket OF is engaged with the bottom plate G91 of the cabinet G, and is configured to be detachable from the bottom plate G91.

(Configuration of hopper mechanism HP)
As shown in FIG. 78, the hopper mechanism HP includes a bucket HP1 for storing a large number of medals, a base member HP2 to which the bucket HP1 is attached, and a payout unit (not shown) accommodated in the base member HP2. Yes.

  The payout unit has a function of paying out medals one by one with a fixed posture, and has a coin disk for paying out sequentially while rotating medals accumulated in the bucket HP1. The base member HP2 has a medal payout opening DD14. When the coin discs of the medal payout unit accumulated in the bucket HP1 are driven, they are discharged one by one from the medal payout outlet DD14.

  As shown in FIG. 78, the bucket HP1 has an upper end opening HP11 formed from a wall surface substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and an inclined side wall HP12 that is continuously inclined to the upper end opening HP11 at a predetermined angle. doing. The upper end opening HP11 is formed in a substantially rectangular planar shape. A discharge guide HP13 that guides medals overflowing from the bucket HP1 to the outside of the bucket HP1 is provided at a corner portion in front of the upper end opening HP11. The discharge guide HP13 has an inclined surface that is inclined so as to become lower from the inner side to the outer side of the bucket HP1. The medals guided by the discharge guide HP13 are stored in the overflow bucket OF.

  The medal that is guided to the selector DD15 and collides with the discharge guide HP13 bounces toward the inclined side wall portion HP12 of the bucket HP1. At this time, if the amount of medals stored in the bucket HP1 does not reach a certain amount, the medals move in the bucket HP1 along the inclined side wall portion HP12. Thereby, medals can be uniformly accommodated in the bucket HP1.

  On the other hand, when the amount of medals stored in the bucket HP1 reaches a certain amount, the medals collide with the inclined surface of the discharge guide HP13 and bounce, collide with the medals stored in the bucket HP1 and discharge guide HP13. Return to the inclined surface. Then, the medal moves on the inclined surface of the discharge guide HP13 by its own weight and heads toward the overflow bucket OF.

  Further, guide pieces HP21 and HP22 that are continuously extended from the bottom surface of the hopper mechanism HP are provided on both side surfaces of the hopper mechanism HP. Further, on the back surface of the hopper mechanism HP, a connector HP41 connected to a connector G81 of a cabinet G described later is provided.

(Configuration of overflow bucket OF)
As shown in FIG. 78, the overflow bucket OF includes a storage body OF1 and a medal guide OF2.

  The storage body OF1 is formed in a rectangular box shape with an upper surface opened. The medal guide OF2 is configured to be detachable from the storage body OF1. This medal guide OF2 guides the medal guided from the discharge guide HP13 to the overflow bucket OF to the storage case body OF1, and prevents the medal from being biased to one side of the storage case body OF1.

(Coinguard HP30)
In this gaming machine, as shown in FIG. 79, a medal replenishing mechanism MH (corresponding to a replenishing port) for discharging a medal received from the outside is provided above the bucket HP1 of the hopper mechanism HP.

  Here, there is a predetermined distance in the height direction between the medal supply mechanism MH and the bucket HP1 of the hopper mechanism HP (corresponding to a hopper device). When a medal is supplied from the medal supply mechanism MH to the hopper mechanism HP, since there is a predetermined distance in the height direction, the medal falls, collides with the medal stored in the bucket HP1, and is moved outward by the momentum. It may be thrown out. In this case, most of them collide with the upper end opening HP11 of the hopper mechanism HP and remain in the bucket HP1. However, rarely, the medal may jump over the upper end opening HP11 and jump out of the bucket HP1.

If the medal jumps out of the bucket HP1, or if the medal falls to the side with the power supply device DE of the bottom plate G91 or the side with the overflow bucket OF, the lower door mechanism DD is opened and collected. do it. However, when a medal falls between the hopper mechanism HP and the back wall G3 of the cabinet G, it is necessary to remove the hopper mechanism HP.
Further, since the hopper mechanism HP and the back wall G3 of the cabinet G are electrically connected by a connector, if a metal medal touches a metal part of the connector, it causes a failure. End up.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 79 and 80, between the medal supply mechanism MH and the bucket HP1 of the hopper mechanism HP, the back wall G3 of the cabinet G (corresponding to the rear surface of the housing) and the bucket HP1 of the hopper mechanism HP. A coin guard HP30 (corresponding to a medal spill prevention member) is provided from the back wall G3 of the cabinet G to the edge of the bucket HP1 so as to fill a gap HPG between the rear wall G3 (see FIG. 80).

  As shown in FIGS. 78 and 81, the coin guard HP30 is provided at the corner on the back side of the upper end opening HP11 and has an L-shape when viewed from above. The L-shaped coin guard HP30 is formed of a first guard part HP301 facing the back wall G3 of the cabinet G and a second guard part HP302 facing the overflow bucket OF. Thus, the first guard part HP301 prevents the medal from dropping into the gap HPG between the back wall G3 of the cabinet G and the bucket HP1 of the hopper mechanism HP, and the second guard part HP302 is an overflow bucket. The medal is prevented from falling to the OF (equivalent to auxiliary storage) side.

  As shown in FIGS. 80 and 81, the first guard part HP301 and the second guard part HP302 of the coin guard HP30 are inclined so as to fall from the back wall G3 side of the cabinet G toward the bucket HP1 side. It has a surface HP301a. As shown in FIG. 81, two screw holes HP301c and HP301d that are screwed into the back wall G3 of the cabinet G are formed on the front surface of the coin guard HP30.

  According to the above configuration, since the coin guard HP30 is provided so as to fill the gap HPG between the back wall G3 of the cabinet G and the bucket HP1 of the hopper mechanism HP, the medal received from the medal supply mechanism MH Even if it is likely to overflow from HP1, it is possible to prevent entry into the gap HPG between the back wall G3 of the cabinet G and the bucket HP1 of the hopper mechanism HP. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the overflowing medals from collecting in the gap HPG between the back wall G3 of the cabinet G and the bucket HP1 of the hopper mechanism HP and interfering with the connector, the electronic device, and the movable member.

  Further, by forming the coin guard HP30 in an L shape, the second guard part HP302 can be disposed between the overflow bucket OF and the bucket HP1. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the medals from overflowing between the overflow bucket OF and the hopper mechanism HP.

  The coin guard HP30 has inclined surfaces HP301a and HP301b. Thereby, even when a medal is placed on the coin guard HP30, the medal is inclined to the bucket HP1 side due to its own weight, so that the medal can be normally stored in the hopper mechanism HP. it can.

(Hopper guide mechanism HG)
As shown in FIGS. 82 and 83, the board HG1 constituting the hopper guide mechanism HG is positioned at the center of the bottom plate G91 of the cabinet G with a screw. As shown in FIG. 84, the substrate HG1 is a frame having an opening HG11 at the center, and guide rails HG12 and HG13 formed by bending both sides of the substrate HG1 in the vertical direction are formed. As shown in FIG. 83, on the front side of the substrate HG1, a lock member HG14 that is engaged with an engagement member (not shown) provided at the bottom of the hopper mechanism HP is fixed with a screw. In the back, a cabinet G-side connector G81 (corresponding to a housing-side connector) is arranged.

  The guide rails HG12 and HG13 are guided by the guide pieces HP21 and HP22 of the hopper mechanism HP, so that the connector HP41 (see FIG. 85) provided on the back surface of the hopper mechanism HP is connected to the connector G81 (hopper side connector). Equivalent).

  As shown in FIG. 84, the guide rails HG12 and HG13 are formed in a U shape by a lower portion HG123 and HG133, side surfaces HG122 and HG132, and an upper portion HG121 and HG131. Further, projecting portions HG124 and HG134 projecting in the vertical direction are formed above the upper portions HG121 and HG131 of the guide rails HG12 and HG13. The protrusions HG124 and HG134, the upper portions HG121 and HG131, the side surfaces HG122 and HG132, the lower portions HG123 and HG133, and the substrate HG1 are integrally formed by bending a single plate.

  As shown in FIG. 84, the upper portion HG121 / HG131 has a front portion formed in a tapered shape.

  The protrusions HG124 and HG134 are formed so as to be disposed in front of the connector G81 on the cabinet G side in the upper part HG121 and HG131. The protrusions HG124 and HG134 are shorter in the depth direction than the upper portions HG121 and HG131, and are disposed on the back side of the upper portions HG121 and HG131.

  As shown in FIG. 84, on the back surface of the substrate HG1, pedestal plates HG151, HG152, and HG153 are formed that contact the bottom plate G91 and serve as the pedestal of the connector G81. Note that the base plates HG151, HG152, and HG153 are also formed by being bent integrally with the substrate HG1.

  As shown in FIG. 84, a planar space HG17 is provided on the front side of the substrate HG1 (the front side of the guide rails HG12 and HG13).

  As shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, a pair of guide pieces HP21 and HP22 provided on the side surface of the hopper mechanism HP are provided between the lower portions HG123 and HG133 of the guide rails HG12 and HG13 and the upper portions HG121 and HG131, respectively. The connector HP41 provided on the back surface of the hopper mechanism HP is connected to the connector G81 by sliding to the back side of the cabinet G in a state of being sandwiched and engaged.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 88, for example, a pair of guide pieces HP21 and HP22 provided on the side surface of the hopper mechanism HP is provided between the lower portions HG123 and HG133 of the guide rails HG12 and HG13 and the upper portions HG121 and HG131. When the hopper mechanism HP is slid to the back side of the cabinet G without being sandwiched between the upper parts HG121 and HG131, the guide pieces HP21 and HP22 abut against the protrusions HG124 and HG134, The hopper mechanism HP is restricted from sliding farther than the protrusions HG124 and HG134. Further, the hopper mechanism HP in a state where the guide pieces HP21 and HP22 are in contact with the projecting portions HG124 and HG134, as shown in FIG. 88, is the back surface of the lower door mechanism DD when the lower door mechanism DD is closed (FIG. 88). When the lower door mechanism DD is closed, it comes into contact with the hopper mechanism HP.

According to the above configuration, in order to electrically connect the connector HP41 of the hopper mechanism HP to the connector G81 on the cabinet G side, when the hopper mechanism HP is slid and installed on the hopper guide mechanism HG, the both sides of the hopper mechanism HP are provided. When the pair of provided guide pieces HP21 and HP22 are not engaged with the guide rails HG12 and HG13 and are slid by mistake above the guide rails HG12 and HG13, the guide pieces HP21 and HP22 are By contacting the protrusions HG124 and HG134 provided above the rails HG12 and HG13 and on the front side of the connector G81, the hopper mechanism HP is slid at an incorrect position, and the hopper mechanism HP contacts the connector G81. Can be prevented. That is, the hopper mechanism HP can be normally slid and installed inside the cabinet G.
Accordingly, the hopper mechanism HP is slid and installed at an incorrect position, and the connector HP41 of the hopper mechanism HP is brought into contact with the connector G81 at an incorrect position, so that the connector G81 and the connector HP41 can be prevented from being damaged.

  Further, when the hopper mechanism HP is slid and installed on the bottom of the cabinet G, the pair of guide pieces HP21 and HP22 provided on both side surfaces of the hopper mechanism HP are connected to the upper portions HG121 and HG131 and the lower portions of the guide rails HG12 and HG13. If the guide pieces HP21 and HP22 are not squeezed between the HG123 and HG133 and are slid and shifted above the upper portions HG121 and HG131 of the guide rails HG12 and HG13 by mistake, the guide pieces HP21 and HP22 By contacting the protrusions HG124 and HG134 provided above the portions HG121 and HG131, the hopper mechanism HP can be prevented from being slid and installed at an incorrect position. That is, the hopper mechanism HP can be normally slid and installed inside the cabinet G.

  Further, since a part of the upper part HG121 / HG131 of the guide rails HG12 / HG13 is tapered, when the hopper mechanism HP is guided to the guide rails HG12 / HG13, the upper part HG121 / HG13 of the guide rails HG12 / HG13 The HG 131 can be prevented from contacting the hopper mechanism HP.

  Further, the manufacturing process can be simplified by creating the lower portions HG123 and HG133, the upper portions HG121 and HG131, and the projecting portions HG124 and HG134 of the pair of guide rails HG12 and HG13 with a single plate. .

  Further, since the protrusions HG124 and HG134 are located on the back side of the cabinet G, the hopper mechanism HP is not disturbed when temporarily placed around the guide rails HG12 and HG13 as a preparation stage for guiding the hopper mechanism HP to the guide rails HG12 and HG13. Can be.

  The locking plate G5221 has claw-shaped claw portions G5221a and G5221b (corresponding to locking portions) that are locked to the locked rods G521a and G521b. The claw portions G5221a and G5221b are locked rods inserted into the openings G5222a and G5222b provided in the tube G5222 by sliding up and down in the tube G5222 along with the sliding of the locking plate G5221. The locking is performed with respect to G521a and G521b, and the locking is released (see FIG. 97).

  The claw portions G5221a and G5221b are locked with respect to the locked rods G521a and G521b when the locking plate G5221 is at a height position for locking the upper door mechanism DU, while the locking plate G5221 is locked with the upper door mechanism DU. Is set so that the locking to the locked rods G521a and G521b is released when the lock is lowered from the height position where the lock is released to the height position where the lock is released. Further, as shown in FIG. 96, the claw portions G5221a and G5221b are inclined at the tip end surfaces thereof and are pushed down by contact with the locked rods G521a and G521b.

  As shown in FIG. 95, an opening G5222c is formed in the cylinder G5222 of the locking portion G522 below the upper door mechanism DU, and the protrusion G5221c provided on the locking plate G5221 is formed with the opening G5222c. Projecting to the inside of the cabinet G. By lowering the projection G5221c downward, the locking plate G5221 is lowered, and accordingly, the locking between the claw portions G5221a and G5221b and the locked rods G521a and G521b can be released.

  Here, when the protrusion G5221c is slid upward and the locking plate G5221 is at a height position that locks the upper door mechanism DU, the protrusion G5221c is the upper DDU of the lower door mechanism DD (see FIG. 93). ).

  According to the above configuration, when the lower door mechanism DD is closed, the upper DDU of the lower door mechanism DD physically interferes with the protruding portion G5221c, thereby preventing the locking plate G5221 from sliding, The locking between the portions G5221a and G5221b and the locked rods G521a and G521b cannot be released, and the upper door mechanism DU can be locked so as not to be opened.

  On the other hand, when the lower door mechanism DD is opened, the physical interference with the protrusion G5221c of the upper DDU of the lower door mechanism DD is released, so that the locking plate G5221 can slide in the cylinder G5222, and the claw The locking of the portions G5221a and G5221b to the locked bars G521a and G521b is released, and the locking of the upper door mechanism DU to the cabinet G can be released.

  Thereby, in order to release the locking of the upper door mechanism DU, a procedure for releasing the locking of the lower door mechanism DD by the lower door locking mechanism G51 can be required first. That is, in order to open the upper door mechanism DU, the lower door lock mechanism G51 is unlocked, the lower door mechanism DD is opened, and then the upper door lock mechanism G52 is unlocked. Can increase security. In addition, the upper space of the cabinet G can be more secure than the lower space of the cabinet G, and the lower space of the cabinet G can be accessed more smoothly than the upper space of the cabinet G. Can be a place.

  In order to unlock the lower door mechanism DD, it is necessary to unlock the cylinder lock G513 with a key. The manager of the gaming machine 1 has an advantage that the key is easy to manage because it is compact and suitable for carrying.

  Further, by the sliding of the locking plate G5221, the claw portions G5221a and G5221b are hooked on the locked bars G521a and G521b, and the hooks are released. Accordingly, the upper space of the cabinet G of the upper door mechanism DU can be locked in conjunction with the sliding of the locking plate G5221.

  Further, the upper door lock mechanism G52 is provided at the end opposite to the end portion that is pivotally supported, and is disposed on the side where the upper door mechanism DU is opened and closed, so that the upper door lock mechanism G52 is unlocked. Therefore, it is not necessary to open the lower door mechanism DD greatly. Thereby, in order to unlock the upper door mechanism DU, the lower space of the cabinet G is not unnecessarily exposed to the outside, and security can be improved.

  As shown in FIG. 98, a one-way hinge DD54 that applies a predetermined torque in the direction in which the lower door mechanism DD is closed is employed between the lower door mechanism DD and the cabinet G. Thereby, torque is applied when the lower door mechanism DD is closed, and the lower door mechanism DD can be quietly closed with respect to the cabinet G without applying a sudden load. As a result, it is possible to prevent a sudden load from being applied to the protrusion B131 that is physically interfered by the lower door mechanism DD.

(Relationship between power supply device DE and speaker DD25L)
As shown in FIG. 99, a speaker DD25L (corresponding to an acoustic device) is provided at the lower part of the lower door DD1 (corresponding to the door) of the lower door mechanism DD on the back side (lower space side of the cabinet G (corresponding to the casing)). Is provided. On the other hand, in the lower space of the cabinet G (corresponding to the inside of the casing), a power supply device DE (corresponding to the power supply device) is provided. The speaker DD25L and the power supply device DE are arranged to face each other when the lower door mechanism DD is closed with respect to the cabinet G (see FIG. 101).

  The power supply device DE is disposed on the left side of the hopper mechanism HP when the inside of the cabinet G is viewed from the front. The power supply device DE plays a role of converting AC voltage power supplied from the outside into DC voltage power required in each unit and supplying the converted power to each device constituting the gaming machine 1.

  On the front side of the power supply device DE, as shown in FIG. 100, a power switch DE1 for switching whether or not to supply power to devices constituting the gaming machine 1 (ON / OFF) is provided. In addition, two slide rails DE3 are provided in the vertical direction on both sides of the power switch DE1. The switch cover DE2 is slidable in the vertical direction on the slide rail DE3. Accordingly, when the switch cover DE2 is slid (slid) downward along the slide rail DE3, the switch cover DE2 covers the power switch DE1 (closed state of the switch cover DE2) as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the switch cover DE2 is slid (slid) upward along the slide rail DE3, the power switch DE1 is exposed (open state of the switch cover DE2) as shown in FIG. By providing the switch cover DE2 in this way, the security is improved by preventing direct access to the power switch DE1 from the outside.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 101, the switch cover DE2 has an inclined surface DE2a that is inclined so as to protrude downward from above.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 101, a convex portion DD25L1 (corresponding to an engaging portion) protruding toward the power supply device DE is formed on the back side of the speaker DD25L (the surface side facing the power supply device DE). The convex portion DD25L1 has an inclined surface DD25La that is inclined so as to protrude upward from below.

  In the speaker DD25L, when the lower door mechanism DD is in the closed state with respect to the cabinet G, the convex portion DD25L1 interrupts the switch cover DE2 when the switch cover DE2 is in the closed state (sliding path). The cover DE2 is formed at a position that restricts the sliding of the cover DE2 upward.

According to the above configuration, by closing the lower door mechanism DD, the projection DD25L1 of the speaker DD25L provided on the back surface of the lower door DD1 interrupts the sliding path (movement path) of the switch cover DE2, and the switch cover DE2 It is possible to regulate the opening state. On the other hand, since the restriction on the switch cover DE2 of the convex portion DD25L1 of the speaker DD25L provided on the back surface of the lower door DD1 is released by opening the lower door mechanism DD, the switch cover DE2 is slid upward, and the power switch It is possible to switch from a closed state in which operation of DE1 is impossible to an open state in which operation of power switch DE1 is possible.
As a result, it is possible to improve the security by preventing an unauthorized operation on the power supply device DE while ensuring the operability of the power switch DE1 with the lower door mechanism DD opened.

  Moreover, it can switch to an open state and a closed state by sliding switch cover DE2 up and down. Thereby, access to the power switch DE1 in a state where the lower door mechanism DD is opened can be facilitated.

  Further, since the convex portion DD25L1 provided on the speaker DD25L has a convex shape, the volume of the speaker DD25L itself can be increased by the amount protruding toward the power supply device DE, and the sound quality can be improved at the same time. .

Further, when the lower door mechanism DD is closed when the switch cover DE2 is in the closed state, the inclined surface DE2a of the switch cover DE2 and the inclined surface DD25La of the convex portion DD25L1 are arranged to face each other. Movement can be regulated.
On the other hand, when the lower door mechanism DD is closed when the switch cover DE2 is in the open state, the switch cover DE2 is in a position shifted upward from the closed state, and therefore the inclined surface DD25La of the convex portion DD25L1 is The switch cover DE2 slides downward and moves to the closed position because the switch DE2 is pressed against the inclined surface DE2a of the cover DE2.
Thus, even if the switch cover DE2 is forgotten to be closed and the lower door mechanism DD is closed in the open state, the inclined surface DD25La of the convex portion DD25L1 becomes the inclined surface DE2a of the switch cover DE2. Since the contact is pushed in, the switch cover DE2 can be slid and moved to the closed position in conjunction with the operation of closing the lower door mechanism DD.

(Maximum BET button DD8)
The maximum BET button DD8 (corresponding to the button unit) is arranged on the second pedestal portion DD2b (corresponding to the pedestal portion).

The spring holding portion DD8124c is formed to have substantially the same size as the inner diameter of the spring DD813.

  Between the button base DD813 and the button base DD811, a spring DD813 having an elastic force repelling against a force of pushing down the first member DD812 downward (A direction) is provided. The spring DD813 is formed by a coil spring formed in a cylindrical shape. One end of the spring DD813 is disposed and held on the outer periphery of the spring holding portion DD8124c. The other end of the spring DD813 is in contact with the lower part of the button base DD811. For this reason, the spring DD813 repels against the force by which the player pushes down the button cover portion DD8121 of the first member DD812 downward (A direction).

  The button base DD811 is formed in a rectangular box shape with an upper surface opened. Two through holes DD811a and DD811b are formed in the lower part of the button base DD811. The through holes DD811a and DD811b are opened in the vertical direction, and each of the two sliding portions DD8124a and DD8124b is slidable. Therefore, the outer dimensions of the through holes DD811a and DD811b are formed to be larger than the inner diameter dimensions of the sliding portions DD8124a and DD8124b. Further, a flange DD811 protruding outward is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the button base DD811. The flange DD8111 contacts the upper surface of the flange DD2bb of the opening DD2ba provided in the second pedestal portion DD2b (see FIG. 105). Therefore, the flange DD811 has a shape larger than the outer shape of the opening DD2ba, and when the operation portion DD81 is inserted from above the opening DD2ba, the portion including the bottom and the four side surfaces of the button base DD811 is Although passing through the opening DD2ba, the flange DD8111 portion is regulated by contacting the upper surface of the flange DD2bb of the opening DD2ba.

  Further, the button base DD811 is provided with a restraining plate DD8112 extending in the horizontal direction on a side surface portion DD813 extending from the side surface of the button base DD811. Further, two communication holes DD816a and DD816b are formed in the side surface portion DD813. The shape and area of the bottom surface portion of the button cover portion DD811 and the shape and area of the top surface portion of the button base DD811 including the flange DD8111 are the same. That is, the button cover part DD811 and the button base DD811 have a shape that exactly overlaps in the vertical direction.

  The second member DD815 is disposed below the button base DD811 (A direction). The second member DD815 is formed with cylindrical screw holes DD815a and DD815b. The sliding portions DD8124a and DD8124b of the button base DD8123 pass through the through holes DD811a and DD811b and the lower sides of the sliding portions DD8124a and DD8124b extend from the through holes DD811a and DD811b. The screw holes DD815a and DD815b formed in the second member DD815 and the screw holes DD8152a and DD8152b are screwed together. Accordingly, the second member DD815 is attached between the two sliding portions DD8124a and DD8124b extending from the two through holes DD811a and DD811b. The second member DD815 has a shape larger than the through holes DD811a and DD811b.

  When the player presses the first member DD812 downward (A direction), the second member DD815 also moves downward (A direction). As the second member DD815 moves, the light shielding piece DD8151 interrupts between the light emitting part DD814a and the light receiving part DD814b, and blocks light emitted from the light emitting part DD814a to the light receiving part DD814b. Thereby, it is detected that the player has operated the maximum BET button DD8.

  When the player stops pressing the first member DD812 downward (A direction), the button base DD8123 moves upward due to the repulsive force of the spring DD813 (the first member DD812 is moved to the initial position). Return). When the button base portion DD813 moves upward due to the repulsive force of the spring DD813, the upper surface portion of the second member DD815 contacts the lower surface of the stop plate DD8112, and the second member DD815 and the first member DD812 return too much upward. To regulate that.

  Accordingly, when the second member DD815 moves upward, the light shielding piece DD8151 that has been interrupted between the light emitting part DD814a and the light receiving part DD814b also moves upward, and light is emitted from the light emitting part DD814a to the light receiving part DD814b. The light block is canceled. Thereby, it is detected that the player is not operating the maximum BET button DD8.

  According to the above configuration, the second member DD815 has a shape larger than the through holes DD811a and DD811b provided in the button base DD811, and the sliding portion DD8124a of the first member DD812 extending from the through holes DD811a and DD811b. -It is attached to DD8124b. Accordingly, the second member DD815 can restrict the sliding portions DD8124a and DD8124b of the first member DD812 from coming out of the through holes DD811a and DD811b, and can prevent unauthorized removal of the maximum BET button DD8.

The flange DD823 contacts the lower surface of the flange DD2bb of the opening DD2ba (see FIG. 105). Therefore, the flange DD823 has a shape larger than the outer shape of the opening DD2ba, and when the locking portion DD82 is pressed from below the opening DD2ba, the flange DD823 portion contacts the lower surface of the flange DD2bb. It is regulated by touching.

  On the inner wall side of the locking part DD82, a locking piece DD825 for positioning the operation part DD81 when the operation part DD81 is stored is formed. Further, communication holes DD826a and DD826b provided on both sides of the opening DD822 formed on the back surface of the locking portion DD82 are formed.

  The operating portion DD81 is inserted into the opening DD2ba from above, and the locking portion DD82 is attached to the operating portion DD81 from below the opening DD2ba in a state where the flange DD8111 is in contact with the upper surface of the flange DD2bb. The flange DD823 is brought into contact with the lower surface of the flange DD2bb of the opening DD2ba. The two screws DD83a and DD83b are screwed into the screw holes DD8163a and DD8163b through the communication holes DD826a and DD826b and the communication holes DD816a and DD816b, respectively (see FIG. 104).

  According to the above-described configuration, the two screws DD83a and DD83b are engaged with the screw hole DD8163a and DD8163b through the communication holes DD826a and DD826b and the communication holes DD816a and DD816b, respectively, so that the operation unit DD81 is locked. The part DD82 can be fixed to the second pedestal part DD2b through the opening DD2ba. Moreover, since the operation part DD81 has the flange DD8111 larger than the opening part DD2ba, it is possible to prevent the maximum BET button DD8 from falling into the cabinet G from the outside of the opening part DD2ba. Further, since the locking portion DD82 also has a flange DD823 larger than the opening portion DD2ba, the maximum BET button DD8 can be prevented from coming out of the cabinet G from the inside of the opening portion DD2ba. Thereby, the maximum BET button DD8 can be fixed to the second pedestal portion DD2b.

Further, since the button cover portion DD811 and the button base DD811 have a shape that overlaps in the vertical direction, when the button cover portion DD811 is viewed from above, the button base DD811 is hidden by the button cover portion DD811, In addition, only the button cover portion DD811 pressed by the player can be shown. Thereby, the external appearance of the maximum BET button DD8 can be simplified, and the design of the external appearance of the gaming machine 1 can be enhanced.
Further, the button cover portion DD811 has a structure in which the bottom surface of the button base DD811 is smaller than the shape of the top surface of the button base DD811, and the intrusion from the gap between the through holes DD811a and DD811b of the button base DD811 is easier to prevent. be able to.

The sub display devices DD19L and DD19R may include a touch panel on the front surface.

(Relationship between lower door DD1, reel unit RU, and main control board MS)
As shown in FIG. 108, the lower door mechanism DD of the gaming machine 1 includes a lower door DD1, a reel unit RU, and a main control board MS.

  As shown in FIG. 109, the lower door DD1 (corresponding to the door) is provided so as to be openable and closable with respect to the cabinet G (corresponding to the casing). Further, as shown in FIG. 110, the reel unit RU (corresponding to the symbol display means) is detachably provided on the back side of the lower door DD1 (inside the cabinet G (lower space side)). Further, as shown in FIG. 110, the main control board MS is detachably provided on the rear side of the reel unit RU (inside the cabinet G (lower space side)).

  The main control board MS rotates the reels RL, RC, RR of the reel unit RU based on command signals output from the start lever DD6 and stop buttons DD7L, DD7C, DD7R (corresponding to command means). This is equivalent to control means for stopping and displaying the symbols arranged on the reels RL, RC, RR.

  By integrating the lower door DD1, the reel unit RU, and the main control board MS according to the positional relationship of the lower door DD1, the reel unit RU, and the main control board MS as described above, the gaming machine 1 Can be easily performed when assembling, exchanging and disassembling parts.

  Further, the main control board MS is an important configuration for controlling the game, and it is necessary to take measures to prevent unauthorized removal. However, since the main control board MS is integrated with the reel unit RU, it is difficult to remove. Can be configured.

  The main control board MS is provided on the back surface of the reel unit RU provided on the inner side of the lower door DD1. Accordingly, the main control board MS can be disposed on the back side of the cabinet G far from the lower door DD1 by the thickness of the lower door DD1 and the reel unit RU. For this reason, a physical distance can be ensured between the lower door DD1 and the main control board MS, and even if it is illegally intruded through the gap of the lower door DD1, it reaches the main control board MS. It becomes difficult to improve security.

  Since the lower door DD1, the reel unit RU, and the main control board MS are integrated, when changing the specifications of the gaming machine 1, the exterior of the lower door DD1 is changed, the reels RL, It is possible to collectively change the RC and RR symbols and the game content.

  Specifically, the attachment of the main control board MS to the reel unit RU will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 111, the reel unit RU has a substrate contact surface portion RU9a on the rear side. The board contact surface portion RU9a is a flat surface portion extending in the left-right direction at the center in the up-down direction on the back side of the reel unit RU. The normal direction of the plane portion substantially coincides with the front-rear direction. Further, the reel unit RU has an upper plane part RU9b above the center right side of the board contact surface part RU9a. The upper plane portion RU9b is a plane portion whose surface direction coincides with the substrate contact surface portion RU9a, and has a screw hole in the upper left portion. In addition, the reel unit RU has a mounting portion RU9c whose length in the left-right direction substantially coincides with the substrate contact surface portion RU9a below the substrate contact surface portion RU9a. The mounting portion RU9c includes a substrate contact surface portion RU9a and a wall surface portion whose surface direction coincides with the upper plane surface portion RU9b, a bottom surface portion that is bent and extended in a horizontal rear direction from a lower portion of the wall surface portion, and a rear surface of the bottom surface portion. And an inclined portion that is bent from the end and extended upward and backward with an inclination. The placement unit RU9c has screw holes at both ends in the left-right direction. Further, the reel unit RU has a plane portion whose surface direction coincides with the board contact surface portion RU9a and the upper plane portion RU9b.

  The main control board MS is placed on the bottom surface of the placement unit RU9c, and is in surface contact with the substrate contact surface part RU9a, the upper plane part RU9b, the wall surface part of the placement part RU9c, and other plane parts with the same plane direction. Is positioned. Then, in this state, the screw holes are screwed into the screw holes of the upper plane part RU9b and the mounting part RU9c through the through holes formed in the main control board MS, and the screws are fastened. Thereby, the main control board MS is stably attached to the board contact surface part RU9a, the upper plane part RU9b, and the mounting part RU9c arranged on the same surface.

  Next, the attachment of the reel unit RU to the lower door DD1 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 112, the reel unit RU has a reel hinge RU21 at the left end. The reel hinge RU21 is a U-shaped flat plate member in plan view, and the normal direction of the plane substantially coincides with the front-rear direction. The reel hinge RU21 has an upper hinge RU21a formed downward from the upper left end. Further, the reel hinge RU21 has a lower hinge RU21b formed downward from the lower left end. The upper hinge RU21a and the lower hinge RU21b are formed so that their central axes coincide.

  A reel hinge base DD18 extending from the upper end to the center is provided on the upper left side on the inner side of the lower door DD1. The reel hinge base DD18 has an upper hinge base DDR18a and an upper hinge base DDR18b at positions corresponding to the upper hinge RU21a and the lower hinge RU21b. The upper hinge base DDR18a and the lower hinge base DDR18b can be inserted into the upper hinge RU21a and the lower hinge RU21b, respectively. In the inserted state, the reel unit RU is centered on the upper hinge RU21a and the lower hinge RU21b. It is supported so that it can rotate.

  The reel unit RU has an upper right lock portion RU22 protruding rightward at the upper right end. In addition, the reel unit RU has a lower lock portion RU23 that protrudes downward from the approximate center of the lower end. The upper right lock part RU22 and the lower lock part RU23 can be locked while being in contact with the inner wall surface of the lower door DD1. That is, when the reel unit RU is rotated and brought into contact with the lower door DD1, the upper right lock unit RU22 and the lower lock unit RU23 are in contact with the lower door DD1. Since the upper right lock unit RU22 and the lower lock unit RU23 are locked to the lower door DD1, the reel unit RU can be maintained in a non-rotatable state. The upper right lock part RU22 and the lower lock part RU23 are rotatably provided with a knob member on the rear surface side. By turning the knob member with the upper right lock part RU22 and the lower lock part RU23 engaged with the lower door DD1, the reel unit RU can be switched between a rotatable state and a locked state. It has become. The reel unit RU may be locked to the lower door DD1 in a locked state. The main control board MS may be lockable to the reel unit RU.

(Lower door mechanism DD: reel unit RU)
As shown in FIG. 113, the reel unit RU includes three reel units RU1, a reel base RU2, and a reel cover RU3. The three reel units RU1 are arranged in a parallel state (one horizontal row) in the left-right direction. The left reel unit RU1 has a reel RL, the central reel unit RU1 has a reel RC, and the right reel unit RU1 has a reel RR. Each reel unit RU1 is independently supported by a reel base RU2. The reel base RU2 is formed in a box shape having an open surface, and accommodates each reel unit 1 in a partially exposed state. A reel cover RU3 is attached to the reel base RU2 by screw fastening so as to cover the open surface. In a state where the reel cover RU3 is attached to the reel base RU2, the outer peripheral surface from the central portion to the upper portion of the reels RL, RC, RR in each reel unit RU1 is exposed from the reel base RU2. As a result, the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels RL, RC, and RR become visible.

  In addition, the reel unit RU1 has a motor mounting plate RU11 that is a support plate that supports the shaft of the reel and to which a motor serving as a driving force of the reel is mounted. The motor mounting plate RU11 is disposed on the right side of the reel unit RU1, and rotatably supports the reel. That is, they are arranged so as to be sandwiched between adjacent reel units RU1. The motor mounting plate RU11 has a front portion RU11a that forms a front portion. The front portion RU11a is formed in a substantially arcuate shape when viewed from the side, and is formed in substantially the same shape as the reel when viewed from the side. Note that the bow is a figure surrounded by an arc and a string connecting ends of the arc.

  Specifically, the motor mounting plate RU11 includes a front portion RU11a having a substantially arcuate shape in a side view and a shape formed continuously from both ends of an arc that defines the arcuate shape in the side view (for example, in a side view). And a rear portion RU11b having a substantially rectangular shape. The motor mounting plate RU11 may directly support the reel, or may indirectly support the reel through another member.

  The front part of the motor mounting plate RU11 formed in substantially the same shape as the reel in a side view is substantially the same size as the front part of the opposing reel, and it is desirable that they overlap each other. That is, when viewed from one side, the front portion of the motor mounting plate RU11 is substantially completely covered by the reel, and when viewed from the other side, the portion of the reel that faces the portion by the front portion of the support plate. It is desirable that the cover is almost completely covered. Thereby, it is possible to realize in a balanced manner that the function as a partition plate is imparted to the motor mounting plate RU11 and the aesthetic appearance of the gaming machine is maintained.

(Lower door mechanism DD: reel unit RU: reel unit RU1)
The reel unit RU1 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the three reel units RU1 have the same configuration, only the right reel unit RU1 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 114, a reel index RU111, a sensor unit RU112, a motor drive unit RU113, and a drive control board RU114 are arranged on the motor mounting plate RU11 of the reel unit RU1. The reel index RU111 is arranged at the center of the motor mounting plate RU11. The sensor unit RU112 is disposed behind the reel index RU111. The motor drive unit RU113 is disposed above the reel index RU111.

  The reel RR has a reel drum RR1. The reel drum RR1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a reel band RR2 on which a plurality of symbols is arranged is wound and fixed. In the reel drum RR1, a frame for increasing rigidity is arranged on the left side (opposite side of the motor mounting plate RU11) of the cylindrical portion, in a concentric circle that is radial from the center and smaller than the outer circumferential circle. . This frame has a shape in which the central portion is recessed in the right direction (inner side of the tube). In the reel drum RR1, a rotation gear RR3 having the same central axis is arranged on the left side (frame side) inside the cylindrical shape. That is, inside the reel drum RR1, the reel index RU111, the sensor unit RU112, and the motor drive unit RU113 are arranged on the right side (motor mounting plate RU11) of the rotation gear RR3. In addition, the reel drum RR1 is provided with a backlight RR4 that illuminates the symbols arranged on the reel RR that is stopped and displayed from behind on the radially inner wall surface inside the cylinder.

  The motor drive unit RU113 has a stepping motor and a drive gear that meshes with the rotation gear RR3, and power from the stepping motor for rotating the reel RR is transmitted by the rotation gear RR3. The stepping motor is rotated by the number of drive pulses supplied from the drive control board RU114. That is, it is possible to specify how much the reel RR has been rotated from the reference position (the degree of displacement) by the number of drive pulses supplied from the drive control board RU114. The motor drive unit RU113 is controlled to start and stop rotation by the drive control board RU114 in accordance with a control signal from the main control board MS. Specifically, a start command signal is transmitted to the main control board MS in response to an operation of the start command means such as the start lever DD6 by the player. The main control board MS transmits a start control signal to the drive control board RU 114 when the start command signal is detected. The drive control board RU114 drives the motor drive unit RU113 when the start control signal is detected, and the reel RR is rotated. Thereby, the symbols arranged on the reel RR are variably displayed. Further, a stop command signal is transmitted to the main control board MS in response to an operation of the stop command means such as the stop button DD7R by the player. The main control board MS transmits a stop control signal to the drive control board RU 114 when the stop command signal is detected. The drive control board RU114 drives the motor drive unit RU113 when the stop control signal is detected, and the reel RR is stopped. Thereby, the symbols arranged on the reel RR are stopped and displayed.

(Lower door mechanism DD: reel device RU: reel unit RU1: reel index RU111)
The reel index RU111 has a reel shaft RU1111, a detection piece RU1112 and a connection plate RU1113. The reel shaft RU1111 is rotatable about the left-right direction as a central axis in the reel index RU111. The reel shaft RU1111 can be connected and fixed to the rotation shaft of the rotation gear RR3 at the left end, and is rotated with the rotation of the rotation gear RR3. That is, when the reel RR is rotated by the motor drive unit RU113, the reel shaft RU1111 is rotated. The detection piece RU1112 is formed in a shape of a figure surrounded by an arcuate outer periphery and an arcuate inner periphery in a side view. In the present embodiment, the angles of the outer periphery and the inner periphery of the detection piece RU1112 are each set to 180 degrees, and a circular plate having a concentric opening at the center is cut by a line passing through the center point. ing. A disc-shaped connection plate RU 1113 is connected to the inner periphery of the detection piece RU 1112 along the inner periphery. The connection plate RU 1113 is provided with a circular hole in the center, and the reel shaft RU 1111 is inserted and fixed. Thus, the reel index RU111 is connected to the rotation gear RR3 via the reel shaft RU1111. Therefore, the reel index RU111 and the rotation gear RR3 are formed as separate members. In addition, it is preferable to use a material with high slidability for the rotation gear RR3. Further, it is preferable to use a material having an excellent antistatic function for the detection piece RU1112 in the reel index RU111.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 115, the detection piece RU1112 rotates around the rotation axis of the reel shaft RU1111 (reel RR) with the rotation axis of the reel shaft RU1111 as shown by the arrow in the drawing. It is designed to be rotated along. The sensor unit RU112 is disposed on the motor mounting plate RU11 so that a detection point RUP indicated by an asterisk in the drawing on the circumference RUD is a detection position. That is, the sensor unit RU112 detects whether or not the detection piece RU1112 exists at the detection point RUP.

  The relationship between the detection piece RU1112 and the detection state will be described with reference to FIG. In the following, it is assumed that the rotation of the reel RR continues. First, in step SRU1, one end of the detection piece RU1112 reaches the detection point RUP (on edge), and the detection of the detection piece RU1112 is started by the sensor unit RU112. At this time, the main control board MS detects the reference position (first reference position) of the reel RR by changing from the state where the detection piece RU1112 is not detected to the detected state. Thereafter, while the detection piece RU1112 continues to exist at the detection point RUP, the state where the detection piece RU1112 is detected by the sensor unit RU112 is continued (SRU2). Then, the other end of the detection piece RU1112 reaches the detection point RUP (off edge), and the detection of the detection piece RU1112 by the sensor unit RU112 is ended (SRU3). At this time, the main control board MS detects the reference position (second reference position) of the reel RR by changing from the state where the detection piece RU1112 is detected to the state where it is not detected. That is, the detection piece RU1112 is continuously detected by the sensor unit RU112 until the position of the reel RR reaches the second reference position after reaching the first reference position. Thereafter, the state where the detection piece RU1112 is not detected by the sensor unit RU112 is continued until one end of the detection piece RU1112 reaches the detection point RUP again (SRU4).

  As described above, the first reference position and the second reference position are alternately detected every time the reel RR makes a half turn, and the position of the reel RR is specified based on the detected first reference position or second reference position. Is done. Specifically, the main control board MS is supplied from the drive control board RU114 based on the control of the main control board MS with respect to the reference position (first reference position or second reference position) detected immediately before. By adding a displacement corresponding to the number of drive pulses, the position of the reel RR is specified. As described above, the main control board MS determines whether or not the reel RR has reached the reference position (first reference position or second reference position) based on the detection of the detection piece RU1112 by the sensor unit RU112. It functions as a specifying means. Further, the main control board MS and the drive control board RU114 function as reel position specifying means for specifying the degree of displacement of the reel RR from the reference position (first reference position or second reference position) accompanying rotation. To do.

  As described above, the detection piece RU1112 is formed in a shape of a figure surrounded by an arc-shaped outer periphery and an arc-shaped inner periphery, and the arc angle is set to 180 degrees. Therefore, the first reference position and the second reference position on the reel RR are arranged opposite to each other across the center axis on a straight line passing through the center axis of the reel RR.

  Thus, by detecting that the detection piece RU1112 is detected by the sensor unit RU112 from the state where the detection piece RU1112 is not detected by the sensor unit RU112, the first reference position of the reel RR is determined. Can be identified. In addition, the second reference of the reel RR is detected by detecting that the detection piece RU1112 is detected by the sensor unit RU112 and the detection piece RU1112 is not detected by the sensor unit RU112. The position can be specified. As described above, it is possible to detect the reference position of the reel twice during one rotation of the reel RR, and the same effect as when two sensors are provided can be obtained.

  It includes a region from a position corresponding to the first reference position to a position corresponding to the second reference position along the circumferential path on the circumferential path on which the detection piece rotates, and corresponds to the second reference position. The shape of the detection piece is not limited as long as it has a shape that does not include a region from the position to the position corresponding to the first reference position along the circumferential path.

(Lower door mechanism DD: reel device RU: reel unit RU1: sensor unit RU112)
As shown in FIG. 117, the left side surface (reel mounting side surface) of the motor mounting plate RU11 is used as the bottom surface, and screw fastening is performed so that the sensor unit RU112 is placed. The sensor unit RU112 includes a sensor RU1121 and a base member RU1122. The sensor RU 1121 is a transmission type sensor that detects a detection piece RU 1112 that rotates along a predetermined circumference as the reel RR rotates. The sensor RU 1121 is formed in a concave cross section with a concave center, and is provided so that the direction of the depression and the central axis of the reel shaft RU 1111 of the reel index RU 111 are orthogonal. The sensor RU 1121 is attached to the motor attachment plate RU11 via a base member RU1122 so that the edge of the rotation surface of the detection piece RU1112 of the reel index RU111 passes through the hollow inner space of the sensor RU1121.

  118 and 119, the pedestal member RU1122 has a pedestal base portion RU1122g having a longitudinal direction in the vertical direction, and a pedestal column portion RU1122h protruding leftward from the center of the pedestal base portion RU1122g. Yes. The pedestal base portion RU1122g has a shape in which a semicircle is extended in the vertical direction of a rectangular flat plate. The pedestal base portion RU1122g has screw holes RU1122a and RU1122b penetrating in the left-right direction at the vertical position. Further, the base portion RU1122g is formed in a rectangular shape on the front side, and has a protrusion RU1122j protruding rightward at the center of the concave edge. Further, the base portion RU1122g is formed in a convex shape on the rear side of the rectangular portion, and has a protruding portion RU1122k that protrudes in a columnar shape in the right direction at the center of the convex side edge portion.

  The pedestal column part RU1122h has a plane having a longitudinal direction at the top and bottom at the left end, and has screw holes RU1122c and RU1122d at the top and bottom of the plane. Further, the pedestal column portion RU1122h has a plane at the left end that protrudes forward from the center in the vertical direction. The pedestal column part RU1122h has projecting parts RU1122e and RU1122f that are juxtaposed in the front-rear direction at this projecting location and project in a cylindrical shape to the left.

(Mounting of base member RU1122 to motor mounting plate RU11)
In the motor mounting plate RU11, fitting holes RU11e and RU11f are formed at positions corresponding to the protruding portions RU1122f and RU1122g in the base member RU1122. By positioning the protrusions RU1122j and RU1122k into the fitting holes RU11e and RU11f, the base member RU1122 is positioned with respect to the motor mounting plate RU11. Further, the motor mounting plate RU11 has screw holes RU11c and RU11d formed at positions corresponding to the screw holes RU1122a and RU1122b in the base member RU1122. The screw RU1124a is screwed into the screw hole RU1122a and the screw hole RU11c and the screw RU1124b is screwed into the screw hole RU1122b and the screw hole RU11d in the right direction from the pedestal member RU1122 side. The base member RU1122 is screwed.

According to the above configuration, the engaging convex portions UH15 and UH16 are engaged with the engaging concave portions UH23 and UH24 until the upper door mechanism DU is opened at a predetermined angle (60 ° in this embodiment) with respect to the cabinet G. The bearing portions UH121 and UH131 are restricted from sliding along the axis UH121A. Accordingly, it is possible to restrict the polymerization of the shaft portions UH21 and UH22 and the bearing portions UH121 and UH131 from being released, and to lock the upper door mechanism DU from being removed from the cabinet G.
On the other hand, when the upper door mechanism DU is opened at a predetermined angle or more with respect to the cabinet G, the engagement of the engagement convex portions UH15 and UH16 with respect to the engagement concave portions UH23 and UH24 is released, and the bearing portions UH121 and UH131 are moved to the axis UH121A.

As shown in FIG. 127, the top panel mechanism HA includes a decoration unit HA1 that decorates the upper door mechanism UD while emitting light on the upper portion thereof. The decorative unit HA1 forms a decorative convex portion protruding forward from the upper display window UD1. The decoration unit HA1 includes a top lens light guide plate HA14 having a seamless structure that diffuses light and uniformly emits the light from the surface of the decoration convex portion. Thus, when a plurality of components are joined to form the light guide plate of the decorative unit HA1, the load is concentrated on the joint portion of the light guide pieces between the components. However, the top lens light guide plate HA14 having a seamless structure is used. If it exists, the situation where load concentrates on a part can be avoided. As a result, the decorative convex portion formed by the decorative unit HA1 including the top lens light guide plate HA14 having a seamless structure has large rigidity and strength as a whole, so external force is applied from a player or the like located in front of the gaming machine. Even if it is done, it is difficult to cause deformation or breakage.

It is reduced and formed into a shape having an apex at the center of the front end. That is, the decoration unit HA1 has a substantially isosceles triangular shape with the panel base HH side as the base.

Strength is increased. As a result, the decorative unit HA1 has a large rigidity and strength in the front region, and therefore, the decoration unit HA1 is less likely to be deformed or damaged even when an external force is applied by contact with a player positioned in front.

  Furthermore, an opening HA15a is formed in the top lens light guide plate base HA15. The opening HA15a is disposed so as to face the LED substrate HA411 in the later-described top lens. The opening HA15a is provided with a LED lens concealing member HA16 in the top lens, and the LED substrate concealing member HA16 in the top lens functions as a reflector for the LED substrate HA411 in the top lens and opens and closes the opening HA15a. It functions as a window. The LED lens hidden member HA16 in the top lens may be formed so as to transmit a part of the light from the LED substrate HA411 in the top lens.

  As shown in FIG. 128, the decorative unit HA1 has a front region curved downward. As a result, the decoration unit HA1 transmits light to the front upper side and the front side of the upper door mechanism UD so that the design can be seen. The lower surface of the top lens light guide plate HA14 is a reflector that reflects light. As a result, the decoration unit HA1 reflects the light from the top lens left LED substrate HA17 and the top lens right LED substrate HA18 through the front region curved downward and reflects a part of the light with the reflector on the back surface. Can be changed in a diagonally downward direction on the front side.

  An irradiation light device B is arranged behind the decoration unit HA1. Here, since the decoration unit HA1 protrudes forward from the decoration unit HA1, a large space is secured by the amount of protrusion. Thereby, decoration unit HA1 can expand the freedom degree of arrangement | positioning of a mirror about the light reflection type irradiation light apparatus B by the above-mentioned mirror provided in a big space. Furthermore, since the decoration unit HA1 has high rigidity and strength, the irradiation light device B can be sufficiently protected.

  As shown in FIG. 129, the top lens cover HA11 in the decoration unit HA1 is supported by a decoration unit support mechanism HI in which a front region curved downward is arranged in the horizontal direction.

Further, in the left LED substrate case HJ22, through holes HJ222 for allowing light from LEDHJ12 to pass in the forward direction are formed at positions corresponding to the respective LEDHJ12. That is, the four through holes HJ221 are arranged on a straight line, and the six through holes HJ222 are arranged on a straight line. The plane area HJ22a in which the four through holes HJ221 are formed and the plane area HJ22b in which the six through holes HJ222 are formed are bent by a bent line from the center left end to the upper end of the surface of the left LED substrate case HJ22. It is divided. The planar area HJ22a is set higher in the forward direction than the planar area HJ22b, and a step HJ22c is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 138, the partition plate HJ21 has a mountain shape having a vertex at the front end in a side view. Specifically, the partition plate HJ21 is formed in a substantially pyramid shape with the planar region HJ22b as a bottom surface. The partition plate HJ21 has an open bottom surface on the plane region HJ22b side and a left side surface. Further, the upper wall surface of the partition plate HJ21 is formed so as to reach the apex with an inclination downward while the width in the left-right direction is reduced forward from the upper edge of the planar region HJ22b. Further, the right side wall surface of the partition plate HJ21 is formed so as to reach the apex with an inclination in the left direction while the width in the vertical direction is reduced forward. Thus, the right wall surface of the partition plate HJ21 is formed so as to extend from the step HJ22c. In other words, the partition plate HJ21 and the step HJ22c can divide the light emitted forward from the left LED substrate HJ1 into the LEDHJ11 and the LEDHJ12.

  The upper left side lens HJ3 is formed in a substantially triangular flat plate shape whose peripheral shape substantially coincides with the opened left side surface of the partition plate HJ21. That is, the partition plate HJ21, the upper left side lens HJ3, and the left LED substrate HJ1 form an internal space HJ23 that is irradiated with light from the LED HJ12. The upper left side lens HJ3 is formed of a material that can transmit light, and constitutes a part of the left side surface of the housing 2.

  As shown in FIG. 139, the right wall surface of the partition plate HJ21 exists in the front direction of the LED HJ12. Accordingly, part of the light emitted from the LED HJ12 is reflected by the partition plate HJ21. Since the right side wall surface of the partition plate HJ21 has an inclination, it is reflected by light having at least a component in the left direction. Thus, the light reflected by the partition plate HJ21 reaches the upper left side lens HJ3. The upper left side lens HJ3 is decorated such that the inner wall surface is arranged in a matrix of square pyramids having apexes on the inside. As a result, the light reaching the upper left side lens HJ3 is irregularly refracted and transmitted to the outside. Thus, the partition mechanism HJ2 having the partition plate HJ21 and the step HJ22c can divide the light in the forward direction into two, and can guide the light divided in one in the side direction. Further, the upper left side lens HJ3 can transmit the light divided into one guided by the partition structure HJ2. The partition plate HJ21 is preferably white for increasing the reflectivity, but is not limited thereto.

  The lower left lens HJ4 is disposed in front of the left LED substrate case HJ22 so as to form an internal space HJ41 with the planar region HJ22a of the left LED substrate case HJ22. The lower left lens HJ4 is formed of a translucent material and constitutes a part of the left side surface of the housing 2.

  As shown in FIG. 139, the front side wall surface of the lower left lens HJ4 exists in the front direction of the LED HJ11. Accordingly, the light emitted from the LED HJ11 reaches the lower left lens HJ4. The lower left lens HJ4 is decorated such that the inner wall surface has a zigzag cross section in side view. As a result, the light reaching the lower left lens HJ4 is irregularly refracted and transmitted to the outside. Thus, the lower left lens HJ4 can transmit the light divided into the other by the partition structure HJ2. The decorative structure of the inner wall surfaces of the upper left side lens HJ3 and the lower left lens HJ4 is not limited to this, and any structure that diffuses incident light and emits it to the outside may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 140, the left light guide plate HJ51 has a light incident part HJ511, an optical path part HJ512, and a light emitting part HJ513. The left light guide plate HJ51 is formed of a translucent material. The light incident part HJ511 is formed in a flat plate shape having a longitudinal direction in the vertical direction. The light incident part HJ511 has depressions at two upper and lower portions, and has a protruding section HJ511a having a convex section extending in the vertical direction at the center of each depression in the left-right direction. Further, the light incident part HJ511 has a through hole HJ511b extending adjacent to the left side of the protruding part HJ511a. The left LED substrate cover HJ52 has a shape that engages with the rear side surface of the light incident portion HJ511 of the left light guide plate HJ51. The left LED board cover HJ52 has a protrusion HJ52a having a convex cross section extending in the vertical direction at the center in the left-right direction, and is fitted in the through hole HJ511b. The left LED board cover HJ52 is formed of a non-light-transmitting material.

  The protrusion HJ511a is provided to face the LEDHJ13 arranged on the left LED substrate HJ1. Light from the LED HJ 13 is incident from the front side of the protrusion HJ 511a. The left light guide plate HJ51 has an inclined surface HJ511c whose incident surface is inclined approximately 45 degrees in the right direction in the traveling direction of the incident light to the protrusion HJ511a. Since the inclined surface HJ511c is disposed so as to contact the left LED substrate cover HJ52, the light incident on the protruding portion HJ511a travels to the right after being reflected by the inclined surface HJ511c. The light traveling in the right direction passes through the optical path portion HJ512 and reaches the light emitting portion HJ513. The optical path portion HJ512 is formed to be bent backward from the right end portion of the light incident portion HJ511. The optical path portion HJ512 is set so that the normal direction is the front right direction. The light emitting portion HJ513 is formed to be bent from the right end portion of the optical path portion HJ512. The light emitting unit HJ513 is set so that the normal direction is the front right direction. Further, the light emitting unit HJ513 is decorated in a zigzag shape in front view at the right end. As a result, the light that has reached the right end of the light emitting unit HJ513 is diffused and radiated to the front surface of the screen mechanism D or the like.

(Upper door mechanism UD: Upper left panel mechanism HB, Upper right panel mechanism HC)
Hereinafter, the upper left panel mechanism HB and the upper right panel mechanism HC are similarly configured symmetrically with respect to each other, so that only the upper left panel mechanism HB will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 141, the upper left panel mechanism HB is fitted into a substantially triangular gap formed at the upper left end of the panel base HH and the left rear end of the top lens cover HA11 of the top panel mechanism HA. Placed in. The upper left panel mechanism HB has a substantially right triangular shape having a right angle to the left front corner portion when viewed from above, and has an upper surface portion HB1 whose width in the left-right direction is enlarged from the rear end to the front end. A tight screw HH4 can be screwed into the upper left end of the panel base HH from the rear. The tight screw HH4 protrudes to the front of the panel base HH and can be fitted to the upper left panel mechanism HB.

  As shown in FIG. 142, the upper left panel mechanism HB has a fitting portion HB11 at the rear end portion, and a tight screw HH4 is fitted therein. The upper left panel mechanism HB has a frame portion HB2 formed so as to be lowered downward from the left front end portion. The frame portion HB2 has a restricting portion HB21 that protrudes rearward and is bent downward at the lower end portion. When the upper left panel mechanism HB is attached to the panel base HH, the restricting portion HB21 extends to the rear position of the fitting portion HH3 of the panel base HH that engages with the frame portion HB2. That is, since the restricting portion HB21 exists at the rear position of the fitting portion HH3, the movement in the forward direction is restricted. The frame portion HB2 is decorated such that the inner wall surface is arranged in a triangular pyramid shape protruding inward so that light from the light source from the rear can be irregularly refracted.

  As shown in FIGS. 143 and 144, the upper left panel mechanism HB has locking pieces HB12, HB13, and HB14. The locking pieces HB12, HB13, and HB14 are arranged at a location adjacent to the top lens cover HA11 on the front side of the fitting portion HH3, and are in a direction different from the fitting direction of the fitting portion HB11 and from the arrangement location to the top lens cover HA11. It is formed so as to protrude in the direction toward it. Specifically, the locking piece HB12 is located in the rear end region of the right edge portion of the fitting portion HB11 and protrudes in the right direction substantially perpendicular to the fitting direction of the fitting portion HB11. The locking piece HB13 is positioned substantially at the center of the right edge of the fitting portion HB11, and protrudes to the right rear direction at an angle of about 45 degrees with the fitting direction of the fitting portion HB11. The locking piece HB14 is located at the front end portion of the right edge portion of the fitting portion HB11 and protrudes in the right direction substantially perpendicular to the fitting direction of the fitting portion HB11. The locking pieces HB12, HB13, and HB14 protrude from a lower position than the outer surface of the upper surface portion HB1.

  On the other hand, the top lens cover HA11 is formed with notches HA111, HA112, and HA113 that are engaged with the locking pieces HB12, HB13, and HB14. The notches HA111 / HA112 / HA113 are notches formed on the inner wall surface of the top lens cover HA11. The notch portions HA111, HA112, and HA113 are adjacent to the top lens cover HA11 with the engaging pieces HB12, HB13, and HB14 being engaged, and the tight screw HH4 is fitted to the fitting portion HB11 via the panel base HH. As a result, the movement of the upper left panel mechanism HB in the horizontal direction is restricted by the panel base HH and the top lens cover HA11. In addition, the forward movement of the upper left panel mechanism HB is restricted by the restriction portion HB21.

The gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. The gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment described above has the following features.
(1-1) A drive mechanism (front screen drive mechanism E2) for driving display means (front screen mechanism E1) having a display surface capable of displaying an image projected by the projection means (projector mechanism B2) is provided.
The drive mechanism (front screen drive mechanism E2)
An arm (crank member E22) connected to the display means (front screen mechanism E1);
A power source is provided via a pin (slide member E26) that can move inside the pin receiver (slide groove E22b) with respect to a pin receiver (slide groove E22b) formed on the arm (crank member E22). A driving force transmission mechanism (crank gear E21) for transmitting the driving force generated from (driving motor E25),
The arm (crank member E22) is configured such that the pin (slide member E26) moves through the pin (slide member E26) and the pin receiver (slide groove E26) when the pin (slide member E26) moves inside the pin receiver (slide groove E22b). The display means (front screen mechanism E1) operates in conjunction with the transmission of the driving force to E22b), while the display means (front screen mechanism E1) operates in the first position (front standby) in conjunction with the operation of the arm (crank member E22). Position) and the second position (front exposure position)
The pin receiving portion (slide groove E22b) is operated when the display means (front screen mechanism E1) starts to move from the first position (front standby position) to the second position (front exposure position). No driving force is transmitted to the pin receiving portion (slide groove E22b) via the pin (slide member E26), and the display means (front screen mechanism E1) is moved from the second position (front exposure position) to the position. It is formed along a direction in which driving force is not transmitted to the pin receiving portion (slide groove E22b) via the pin (slide member E26) when the operation is started toward the first position (front standby position). Yes.

(1-2) A drive mechanism (front screen drive mechanism E2) for driving display means (front screen mechanism E1) having a display surface capable of displaying an image projected by the projection means (projector mechanism B2) is provided.
The drive mechanism (front screen drive mechanism E2)
An arm (crank member E22) connected to the display means (front screen mechanism E1);
With respect to a slide groove (slide groove E22b) formed in the arm (crank member E22), a motor (slide member (slide member E26)) is slidable inside the slide groove (slide groove E22b) via a motor ( A gear (crank gear E21) for transmitting the driving force generated from the driving motor E25),
The arm (crank member E22) is configured such that the slide member (slide member E26) slides through the slide member (slide member E26) through the slide groove (slide member E26). The display means (front screen mechanism E1) operates in conjunction with the transmission of the driving force to the groove E22b), while the display means (front screen mechanism E1) operates in the first position (front frame) in conjunction with the operation of the arm (crank member E22). Between the standby position) and the second position (front exposure position)
The slide groove (slide groove E22b) is at a point in time when the display means (front screen mechanism E1) starts operation from the first position (front standby position) to the second position (front exposure position). The movement direction of the slide member (slide member E26) and the display means (front screen mechanism E1) operate from the second position (front exposure position) to the first position (front standby position). A groove wall surface (groove wall surface E22b1) is formed so as to be substantially parallel to the moving direction of the slide member (slide member E26) at the time of starting.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the slide groove E22b has the movement direction of the slide member E26 at the time when the front screen mechanism E1 starts operation from the front standby position toward the front exposure position, and the front screen. The groove wall surface E22b1 is formed so as to be substantially parallel to the moving direction of the slide member E26 when the mechanism E1 starts to move from the front exposure position toward the front standby position. Therefore, when the front screen mechanism E1 starts to move from the front standby position toward the front exposure position, the driving force is not transmitted to the slide groove E22b via the slide member E26, and the front screen mechanism E1 moves from the front exposure position to the front exposure position. When the operation is started toward the standby position, the driving force is not transmitted to the slide groove E22b via the slide member.

  Accordingly, when the front screen mechanism E1 starts operation from the front standby position toward the front exposure position, and when the front screen mechanism E1 starts operation from the front exposure position toward the front standby position, the front screen mechanism E1. The operation can be made gradual. As a result, the front screen mechanism E1 can be driven smoothly, and the load on the front screen mechanism E1 and the drive motor E25 can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the front screen mechanism E1 and the drive motor E25 from being damaged. Further, since the front screen mechanism E1 can be smoothly driven without devising the pulse output, it is not necessary to perform complicated excitation control, and the control load related to the driving of the front screen mechanism E1 is kept low. be able to.

  In addition, when it is necessary to perform excitation control in order to smoothly drive the front screen mechanism E1, it is necessary to change the design of the excitation control when the size of the front screen mechanism E1 is changed. It takes time and effort. In this regard, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the front screen mechanism E1 can be smoothly driven without performing excitation control. It is possible to easily cope with changes in specifications such as the size of the screen mechanism E1.

  In the embodiment described above, when the front screen mechanism E1 starts its operation from the front standby position toward the front exposure position, the driving force is not transmitted to the slide groove E22b via the slide member E26, and the front screen mechanism E1 is It has been described that the driving force is not transmitted to the slide groove E22b via the slide member when the operation is started from the exposure position toward the front standby position. That is, the slide is performed both when the front screen mechanism E1 starts its operation from the front standby position toward the front exposure position and when the front screen mechanism E1 starts its operation from the front exposure position toward the front standby position. It has been described that the driving force is not transmitted to the groove E22b. However, in the present invention, when the front screen mechanism starts operation from the front standby position toward the front exposure position and when the front screen mechanism starts operation from the front exposure position toward the front standby position, Only in this case, the driving force may not be transmitted to the slide groove.

  Here, the position of the pin when the display means is at the first position (relative position with respect to the pin receiving portion) is referred to as a first predetermined position, and the position when the display means is at the second position. The pin position (relative position with respect to the pin receiving portion) is referred to as a second predetermined position. In this case, the first predetermined position in the pin receiving portion is the pin moving direction at the time when the display means starts the operation from the first position toward the second position (independent of the pin receiving portion, The second predetermined position in the pin receiving portion is the movement direction of the pin at the time when the display means starts operation from the second position toward the first position. It may be formed along the direction in which the pin actually moves regardless of the pin receiving portion. The first predetermined position and the second predetermined position may be the same position or different positions.

  Furthermore, the driving force transmission mechanism includes a driving force transmission body (for example, a gear) that rotates about the first straight line according to the driving force generated from the power source, and the pin is fixed to the driving force transmission body. It may be. The first predetermined position in the pin receiving portion is formed in a direction perpendicular to the pin at the first predetermined position and the straight line connecting the intersection of the first straight line and the driving force transmission body (for example, the center of the gear). The second predetermined position in the pin receiving portion is a direction perpendicular to the pin at the second predetermined position and the straight line connecting the intersection (for example, the center of the gear) between the first straight line and the driving force transmitting body. It may be formed.

  Thereby, the direction of the first predetermined position in the pin receiving portion is the direction in which the pin moves when the display means starts to move from the first position toward the second position (concentric with the driving force transmission body). And the second predetermined position in the pin receiving portion is the second predetermined position in the pin receiving portion. Direction in which the pin is to move when starting the operation from the position to the first position (a circle concentric with the driving force transmission body, the center of the driving force transmission body and the pin at the second predetermined position) Tangent direction of a circle with a radius of Therefore, when the display means starts operation from the first position toward the second position, the driving force is not transmitted to the pin receiving portion via the pin, and the display means is moved from the second position to the first position. No driving force is transmitted to the pin receiving portion via the pin when the operation is started toward. Thereby, when the display means is in the vicinity of the first position and the second position, the operation of the display means can be made gentle.

  The target driven by the drive mechanism is not particularly limited, and the drive mechanism may be the following drive mechanism.

When the display means (front screen mechanism E1) is at the first position (front standby position) and when the display means (front screen mechanism E1) is at the second position (front exposure position) A straight line connecting the rotation center of the gear (crank gear E21) and the slide member (slide member E26) (straight line connecting the rotation center position E21a and the eccentric position E21b of the crank gear E21) and the arm (crank member E22). ) And the straight line connecting the slide member (slide member E26) (the straight line connecting the intermediate position E22a of the crank member E22 and the eccentric position E21b of the crank gear E21) are substantially perpendicular to each other,
The drive mechanism casing (screen casing C10) has openings (operation openings C21 and C31) at positions where the gear (crank gear E21) can be manually rotated.

(3-3) The openings (operation openings C21 and C31) are a first opening (operation panel) provided on one side surface (right side plate C2) of the drive mechanism housing (screen housing C10). An opening C21) and a second opening (operation) provided on a side surface (left side plate C3) opposite to the one side surface (right side plate C2) of the side surfaces of the drive mechanism casing (screen casing C10). Opening C31),
The first opening (operation opening C21) and the second opening (operation opening C31) are formed to have substantially the same size and the same shape.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, when the front screen mechanism E1 is at the front standby position and when the front screen mechanism E1 is at the front exposed position, the rotation center position E21a of the crank gear E21 is eccentric. A straight line connecting the position E21b and a straight line connecting the intermediate position E22a of the crank member E22 and the eccentric position E21b of the crank gear E21 are substantially orthogonal to each other.

  As a result, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the front standby position or the front exposure position, the force for rotating the front screen mechanism E1 (manually) does not depend on the driving force generated from the drive motor E25. When applied to the mechanism E1 or the crank member E22, the direction of the force applied to the slide member E26 coincides with the direction of the straight line connecting the rotation center position E21a and the eccentric position E21b of the crank gear E21. Accordingly, the force applied to the slide member E26 is not converted into a force for rotating the crank gear E21 (the direction in which the force acts is from the direction of the straight line connecting the rotation center position E21a and the eccentric position E21b of the crank gear E21). If it is slightly deviated, it is converted into a force for rotating the crank gear E21). Therefore, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the front standby position or the front exposure position, even if the front screen mechanism E1 is rotated by manually moving the front screen mechanism E1 or the crank member E22, the front screen mechanism E1 Does not rotate. As a result, it is possible to prevent a person handling the front screen mechanism E1 from directly touching the front screen mechanism E1 and forcibly moving the front screen mechanism E1.

  Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the front standby position or the front exposure position, the front screen mechanism E1 is prevented from being manually rotated. It is not necessary to separately add a member or the like for locking the rotation of the front screen mechanism E1, and it is possible to prevent the cost from increasing.

  Furthermore, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the front screen drive mechanism E2 is housed in the screen casing C10, and the crank gear E21 is manually rotated in the screen casing C10. The operation openings C21 and C31 are provided at positions where the operation can be performed. Therefore, a person handling the front screen mechanism E1 can turn the front screen mechanism E1 by manually turning the crank gear E21 from the operation openings C21 and C31. Accordingly, although the front screen mechanism E1 cannot be rotated by directly touching the front screen mechanism E1, the convenience for use is reduced because the means for rotating the front screen mechanism E1 is separately secured. Can be prevented. Further, when the front screen mechanism E1 is rotated through manually rotating the crank gear E21, the front screen mechanism E1 is not directly touched. The possibility that the screen mechanism E1 is damaged can be reduced.

  Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the screen casing C10 is provided with openings (operation openings C21 and C31) having substantially the same size and the same shape on each of the pair of side surfaces. The screen casing C10 can be carried by hooking a hand to the two openings. Thus, the operation openings C21 and C31 are formed as handles, and according to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, by manually rotating the crank gear E21 from the opening as the handle, The front screen mechanism E1 can be rotated.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the front standby position or the front exposure position, the force for manually rotating the front screen mechanism E1 regardless of the driving force generated from the drive motor E25. Is applied to the front screen mechanism E1 or the crank member E22, the direction of the force applied to the slide member E26 coincides with the direction of the straight line connecting the rotation center position E21a and the eccentric position E21b of the crank gear E21. As explained. That is, it has been described that the front screen mechanism E1 is not manually rotated (locked) both when the front screen mechanism E1 is at the front standby position and when it is at the front exposure position. However, in the present invention, the front screen mechanism may not be manually rotated (locked) only when the front screen mechanism is at the front standby position or at the front exposure position. .

The first screen (front screen mechanism E1) is driven by a drive mechanism (front screen drive mechanism E2), so that it is between a first position (front standby position) and a second position (front exposure position). In the operation,
The second screen (fixed screen mechanism D) is disposed behind the second position (front exposure position), and the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) is positioned at the second position (front exposure position). ), The image projected by the projector (projector mechanism B2) is displayed on the first screen (front screen mechanism E1), while the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) is in the first position. When in the (front standby position), the image projected by the projector (projector mechanism B2) is displayed on the second screen (fixed screen mechanism D),

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment described above, the two screens of the front screen mechanism E1 and the fixed screen mechanism D are accommodated in the screen casing C10. The front screen mechanism E1 is driven by the front screen drive mechanism E2 to operate between the front standby position and the front exposure position. The fixed screen mechanism D is disposed behind the front exposure position. When the front screen mechanism E1 is at the front exposure position, the image projected by the projector mechanism B2 is displayed on the front screen mechanism E1, while when the front screen mechanism E1 is at the front standby position, the image is projected by the projector mechanism B2.

Comparing the position of the mechanism D, the fixed screen mechanism D is present behind the screen casing C10 rather than the front screen mechanism E1.

  Here, since the back side of the screen casing C10 is more affected by irregular reflection caused by light reflected from the wall of the screen casing C10, the fixed screen mechanism D is more so-called white than the front screen mechanism E1. Blur is likely to occur. In view of this point, in the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the brightness of the fixed screen mechanism D is set lower than the brightness of the front screen mechanism E1.

The first screen (front screen mechanism E1) is driven by a drive mechanism (front screen drive mechanism E2), so that it is between a first position (front standby position) and a second position (front exposure position). In the operation,
When the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) is in the second position (front exposure position), the image projected by the projector (projector mechanism B2) is displayed on the first screen (front screen mechanism E1).

D),
In the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) and the second screen (fixed screen mechanism D), the second screen (fixed screen mechanism D) has lower brightness.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the front screen mechanism E1 has one display surface, and the fixed screen mechanism D has a plurality of display surfaces. Since the fixed screen mechanism D has a plurality of display surfaces, the influence of irregular reflection due to the reflection of light between the display surfaces is large, and so-called white blur is likely to occur. The gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment. Then, the brightness of the fixed screen mechanism D is made lower than the brightness of the front screen mechanism E1.

The screen (front screen mechanism E1) has a first member (front screen member E11) having the display surface (projection surface E11a) and a second surface having a convex portion (second pattern surface E12b). Of the first member (front screen member E11) opposite to the display surface (projection surface E11a) and the second member (front screen support E12). ) Are fixed so as to contact a surface opposite to the surface (second pattern surface E12b) provided with the convex portion.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment described above, the front screen mechanism E1 includes the front screen member E11 having the projection surface E11a and the front screen support E12 having the second pattern surface E12b in the front screen member E11. It is formed by fixing so that the surface opposite to the projection surface E11a and the surface opposite to the second pattern surface E12b on the front screen support E12 are brought into contact with each other. As described above, since the member having the projection surface E11a and the member having the second pattern surface E12b are configured as separate members, in the process of forming the front screen mechanism E1, it is caused by the convex portion of the second pattern surface E12b. Thus, sink marks are formed on the projection surface E11a, and the accuracy of the screen is prevented from being lowered. Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to display an image on a highly accurate screen.

The decoration is arranged so as to be visible through the display area (upper display window UD1).

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the front standby position, the front screen mechanism E1 has the second pattern surface E12b (the surface opposite to the projection surface E11a, that is, the screen surface). The decoration on the back surface is arranged so as to be visible through the upper display window UD1. Therefore, if the decoration is not provided, the player can visually recognize the back surface of the front screen mechanism E1 when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the front standby position. This undesirably deteriorates the aesthetics of the gaming machine. From such a viewpoint, in the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the back surface of the front screen mechanism E1 is decorated.

  However, if an attempt is made to integrally mold the front screen mechanism E1 with such decoration, sink marks are formed on the projection surface E11a of the front screen mechanism E1 due to the convex portions constituting the decoration, and the accuracy of the screen is improved. It will decline. In view of this point, in the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the member having the projection surface E11 and the member having the decorated surface are configured as separate members, and both the members are fixed. The front screen mechanism E1 is formed. Thereby, sink marks are formed on the projection surface E11 due to decoration, and the accuracy as a screen is prevented from being lowered. Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to display an image on a highly accurate screen.

The display unit is

First and second screens (front screen mechanism E1 and reel screen mechanism F1) that can be projected by the projector, each being out of the projection range of the projector and different from each other for each screen. A first operable between a position (front standby position / reel standby position) and a second position (front exposure position / reel exposure position) within the projection range of the projector and to be projected by the projector. And a second screen;
Driving means for driving the first and second screens independently between the first position and the second position (front screen mechanism E1, reel screen driving mechanism F2 and main control). Substrate MS),
Detection of whether or not the first screen is present at the first position (front standby position); detection of whether or not the first screen is present at the second position (front exposure position); And detecting means (sensor mechanism CS) for detecting whether or not the second screen is present at the first position (reel standby position),
The operation range between the first position and the second position of each of the first and second screens partially includes an overlapping range that overlaps each other, and the first and second screens The second position of each of the screens is in the overlapping range in the operating range;
The driving means includes
In performing a return operation of returning each of the first and second screens to an origin position existing in a range excluding the overlapping range in the operation range,
The first and second screens are driven according to the first and second screen driving procedures corresponding to the positions of the first and second screens based on the detection results of the detection means.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a gaming machine equipped with an effect device capable of producing an effect by operating a movable body (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-013585). According to such a gaming machine, through the movement of the movable body, it is possible to perform a powerful effect that is difficult to obtain by only the video displayed on the liquid crystal display device. In recent years, a gaming machine equipped with a rendering device having a plurality of movable bodies has been proposed in order to further enhance the rendering effect. Although the space inside the gaming machine is finite, it is possible to provide a plurality of movable bodies by limiting the size of each movable body or overlapping the operation range of each movable body. Here, when overlapping the operation range of each movable body, if a plurality of movable bodies are operated simultaneously, the movable bodies may come into contact (interference) with each other. Normally, appropriate control is performed so that such interference does not occur. However, if the movable body is not operating normally, or if the movable body is moved manually while the power is turned off, the movable body is not considered in such an abnormal situation. When the is operated, there is a possibility that the movable bodies interfere with each other. And when movable bodies contacted, there existed a possibility that an effect device might be damaged.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, the detection result of the detection unit differs depending on the positions of the first and second screens. The first positions of the first and second screens are different from each other. For this reason, when the detecting means detects that one screen is present at the first position, it does not interfere even if the other screen is driven. Therefore, after the other screen is first returned to the origin position, the other screen is returned to the origin position, whereby the return operation can be performed without interference between the screens. In addition, since only one of the first and second screens can be arranged at the second position, the detection means detects that the first screen exists at the second position. The second screen will not be in the second position. In this case, after the second screen is first returned to the origin position, the first screen is returned to the origin position, so that the return operation can be performed without interference between the screens. As described above, in the return operation, the screens interfere with each other by driving the first and second screens according to the driving procedure corresponding to the positions of the first and second screens based on the detection results of the detection means. It is possible to return to the respective origin positions without any problem. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the screens from interfering with each other by appropriately driving the first and second screens in the processing after the return operation.

(8-2) The detection means (sensor mechanism CS)
Two first sensors (sensor CS1 and sensor CS3) respectively corresponding to the first and second screens (front screen mechanism E1 and reel screen mechanism F1), and the corresponding screens are in the first position (front Two first sensors for detecting whether or not they are present at the standby position / reel standby position);
A second sensor corresponding to the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) for detecting whether or not the corresponding first screen is present at the second position (front exposure position); A second sensor,
The drive means (main control board MS)
The first sensor detects that the first screen is in the first position, and the second sensor is that the first screen is in the second position. Is detected, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred.

  According to the above configuration, since the first screen is not present at the first position and the second position at the same time, the first sensor detects that the first screen is present at the first position. If the second sensor detects that the first screen is in the second position, it can be determined that an abnormality has occurred.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a gaming machine equipped with an effect device capable of producing an effect by operating a movable body (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-013585). According to such a gaming machine, through the movement of the movable body, it is possible to perform a powerful effect that is difficult to obtain by only the video displayed on the liquid crystal display device. In recent years, a gaming machine equipped with a rendering device having a plurality of movable bodies has been proposed in order to further enhance the rendering effect. Although the space inside the gaming machine is finite, it is possible to provide a plurality of movable bodies by limiting the size of each movable body or overlapping the operation range of each movable body. Here, when overlapping the operation range of each movable body, if a plurality of movable bodies are operated simultaneously, the movable bodies may come into contact (interference) with each other. Normally, appropriate control is performed so that such interference does not occur. However, if the movable body is not operating normally, or if the movable body is moved manually while the power is turned off, the movable body is not considered in such an abnormal situation. When the is operated, there is a possibility that the movable bodies interfere with each other. And when movable bodies contacted, there existed a possibility that an effect device might be damaged.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, the detection result of the detection unit differs depending on the positions of the first and second screens. The first positions of the first and second screens are different from each other. For this reason, when the detecting means detects that one screen is present at the first position, it does not interfere even if the other screen is driven. Therefore, after the other screen is first returned to the origin position, the other screen is returned to the origin position, whereby the return operation can be performed without interference between the screens. In addition, since only one of the first and second screens can be arranged at the second position, the detection means detects that the first screen exists at the second position. The second screen will not be in the second position. In this case, after the second screen is first returned to the origin position, the first screen is returned to the origin position, so that the return operation can be performed without interference between the screens. As described above, the detection means detects that the first screen is present at either the first position or the second position, and the detection means has the second screen as the first screen. When at least one of the second conditions for detecting the presence of the first position is satisfied, the driving procedure corresponding to the positions of the first and second screens based on the detection result of the detection means is followed. By driving the first and second screens, the screens can be returned to their original positions without interfering with each other.

  On the other hand, if neither the first condition nor the second condition is satisfied, the first screen is located between the first position and the second position, and The second screen is located at a position other than the second position. Further, in this case, the other screen may operate along with the operation of one screen. Therefore, according to the invention of (1), first, after returning one screen to the origin position, the detection means responds to the detection result of whether or not the other screen exists at the first position. This another screen is returned to the origin position according to the driving procedure. As a result, even when neither the first condition nor the second condition is satisfied, the first and second screens can be reliably returned to the origin position.

(9-2) The detection means (sensor mechanism CS)
Two first sensors (sensor CS1 and sensor CS3) respectively corresponding to the first and second screens (front screen mechanism E1 and reel screen mechanism F1), and the corresponding screens are in the first position (front Two first sensors for detecting whether or not they are present at the standby position / reel standby position);
A second sensor corresponding to the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) for detecting whether or not the corresponding first screen is present at the second position (front exposure position); A second sensor,
The drive means (main control board MS)
The first sensor detects that the first screen is in the first position, and the second sensor is that the first screen is in the second position. Is detected, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred.

  According to the above configuration, since the first screen is not present at the first position and the second position at the same time, the first sensor detects that the first screen is present at the first position. If the second sensor detects that the first screen is in the second position, it can be determined that an abnormality has occurred.

In the first position (reel standby position), the third screen is disposed behind the first screen and outside the operating range of the second screen.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a gaming machine equipped with an effect device capable of producing an effect by operating a movable body (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-013585). According to such a gaming machine, through the movement of the movable body, it is possible to perform a powerful effect that is difficult to obtain by only the video displayed on the liquid crystal display device. In recent years, a gaming machine equipped with a rendering device having a plurality of movable bodies has been proposed in order to further enhance the rendering effect. Since the space inside the gaming machine is finite, space saving is required when providing multiple movable bodies, but by limiting the size of each movable body or overlapping the operation range of each movable body, A plurality of movable bodies can be provided. Here, when overlapping the operation range of each movable body, if a plurality of movable bodies are operated simultaneously, the movable bodies may come into contact (interference) with each other. And when movable bodies contacted, there existed a possibility that an effect device might be damaged.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, the second screen and the third screen are rotated around different rotation axes. Thereby, the overlapping range in the operation range of the second screen and the operation range of the third screen can be reduced. Further, the rotation axis of the second screen is arranged above the rotation axis of the third screen, and the second screen is arranged above the first screen at the first position. With this configuration, the operation range between the first position and the second position of the second screen can be reduced. In addition, the third screen is arranged behind the first screen in the first position, so that when the third screen is arranged in the first position, the second screen The possibility of contact can be eliminated. As described above, it is possible to efficiently arrange the three screens in the gaming machine while reducing the possibility of the three screens contacting each other.

(10-2) The drive mechanism (front screen drive mechanism E2 / reel screen drive mechanism F2)
The second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is driven on condition that the third screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is in the first position (reel standby position).
The third screen is driven on condition that the second screen is in the first position (front standby position).

  According to the gaming machine according to the embodiment described above, it is possible to reliably prevent the second screen and the third screen from coming into contact with each other.

  (10-3) Each of the first to third screens (fixed screen mechanism D, front screen mechanism E1, reel screen mechanism F1) is a projection on which an image irradiated from the projector (irradiation light device B) is projected. The surface shapes are different from each other.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, since the shapes of the projection surfaces of the first to third screens are different from each other, even if the same image is emitted from the projector, the image is expressed in a different manner for each screen. This makes it possible to diversify the production.

(10-4) The projection surface of any one of the first to third screens (fixed screen mechanism D, front screen mechanism E1, reel screen mechanism F1) (reel screen mechanism F1) is When the projector is a projection target, in a side view, an arc surface having a convex arc shape on the upstream side in the irradiation direction of light irradiated from the projector (irradiation light device B),
The projection surface of any one of the first to third screens (front screen mechanism E1) is a flat surface.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to express video in different modes between the screen mechanism whose projection surface is an arc surface and the screen mechanism whose projection surface is a flat surface.

(11-1) A gaming machine including a display unit (display unit A) for displaying video,
The display unit is
A projector (irradiation light device B) for projecting an image;
A movable screen (front screen mechanism E1) that can be a projection target of the projector, a first position that is outside the projection range of the projector (front standby position), and a second position that is a projection target of the projector ( A movable screen operable between the front exposure position) and
A drive mechanism (front screen drive mechanism E2) for driving the movable screen between the first position and the second position;
The drive mechanism is
A motor (drive motor E25);
A shaft (shaft member E3) that rotates when the motor is driven;
Two gears (intermediate gears E23 and E23) provided at both ends of the shaft and rotating together with the shaft;
Two arms (crank members E22 and E22) that are connected to the two gears and are rotated about the rotation axis along a predetermined direction by the rotation of the two gears. Two arms connected to both end portions of the screen in the predetermined direction,
The movable screen rotates between the first position and the second position in conjunction with the rotation of the two arms about the rotation axis (rotation center axis FG). .

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine equipped with an effect device capable of providing an effect by rotating a movable body around an axis is known (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-013685). According to such a gaming machine, through the movement of the movable body, it is possible to perform a powerful effect that is difficult to obtain by only the video displayed on the liquid crystal display device. In recent years, in order to further enhance the production effect, it has been proposed that a display unit such as a liquid crystal display device is switched between a state shielded by a movable body and an opened (exposed) state before and after the movable body rotates. Yes. As a result, it is possible to create a sense of unity between the movement of the movable body and the state of visual recognition of the other accessory such as the display means, and a variety of effects can be performed. However, when a display unit or the like (another part) is provided together with the movable body, there is a problem in that the rotation shaft (shaft) of the movable body hinders the arrangement of the display unit and the like. In this regard, it is conceivable that the rotation axis of the movable body is provided above, below, on the side, etc. of the separate object so as not to disturb the disposition of the separate object. Since the shaft is arranged toward the end, there is a problem that the range of rotation of the movable body is limited and the size of the movable body is also restricted.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, the shaft is not used as the rotation axis of the screen (two arms). Thereby, since the freedom degree of arrangement | positioning of a shaft increases, it becomes possible to arrange | position a shaft so that arrangement | positioning of a separate role thing may not be inhibited. As a result, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom of the arrangement of the extra items while maintaining the rotation range and size of the screen at a desired level. Each of the two arms is rotated as the two gears connected to both ends of the shaft rotate. Therefore, the driving force of the motor can be evenly transmitted to each of the two arms by this shaft. As a result, it is possible to prevent the driving load from being concentrated on one arm.

  (11-2) The motor (drive motor E25) is connected to one of the two gears (intermediate gears E23 and E23), and rotates by transmitting a driving force to the one gear. By doing so, the shaft (shaft member E3) is rotated.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, the motor is connected to the gear provided at one end of the shaft, and the motor is arranged so as not to hinder the arrangement of the additional role (fixed screen mechanism or the like). Can be arranged near the end of the shaft. As a result, it is possible to further increase the degree of freedom of the arrangement of the extra items.

(11-3) It further includes a fixed screen (fixed screen mechanism D) that is fixed at a predetermined position of the display unit (display unit A) and can be a projection target of the projector (irradiation light device B).
When the movable screen (front screen mechanism E1) is disposed at the first position (front standby position), the fixed screen becomes a projection target of the projector,
When the movable screen is arranged at the second position (front exposure position), the movable screen is arranged in front of the fixed screen and becomes a projection target of the projector instead of the fixed screen,
The shaft (shaft member E3) is disposed behind the fixed screen,
The rotation shaft (rotation center axis FG) of the two arms (crank members E22 and E22) is disposed in front of the rear end position of the fixed screen.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, since the shaft is arranged behind the fixed screen as a separate item, the light projected on the fixed screen is not hindered by the shaft. In addition, since the pivot shafts of the two arms can be disposed in front of the rear end position of the fixed screen, the movable screen and the rotation shaft can be rotated compared to the case in which the pivot shaft is disposed rearward of the rear end position of the fixed screen. The length between the moving shaft (arm length) can be shortened. For this reason, even when the space in the gaming machine is limited and the display unit cannot be enlarged, the size of the movable screen can be maintained at a desired level.

A gaming machine stored in a removable manner with respect to the body is disclosed. By the way, generally, a gaming machine such as a pachislot machine or a pachinko machine is installed and operated in an island facility at a gaming facility. When installing this gaming machine on the island facility, the game machine is fixed to the island facility by driving nails or the like from the inside of the casing to the island facility through the top plate. Here, when installing a gaming machine with replaceable units as described above on an island facility, the gaming machine is installed with the unit removed so as not to damage the unit. That is required of the worker. However, in reality, the worker is reluctant to increase the amount of work, and the game machine is installed in a state where the unit is accommodated, resulting in a problem that the unit is damaged. If the unit is damaged, it may not be possible to reuse the unit, and it will be different from the normal gaming machine. There is a fear.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, the recesses are formed at both side ends of the top plate member in the display unit casing. Thereby, even in a state where the display unit is accommodated in the main body casing, a work space for installing and fixing to the island facility is secured between the display unit and the main body casing.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine is known in which a plurality of parts are unitized so that the various parts can be easily replaced. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-183427 discloses a variable display device that can display a plurality of identification information, a control device that controls the variable display device, and a variable display unit that unitizes a unit case that accommodates these. A gaming machine stored in a removable manner with respect to the body is disclosed. In the gaming machine disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-183427, the unitized variable display unit is basically a unit that is mounted in common regardless of the type of gaming machine. Depending on the model, the production device that cannot be shared among the models is not unitized. Here, if the rendering device depending on the model is manufactured separately for each model, the burden of the manufacturing cost increases.

  According to the gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment, different functional components are positioned and arranged with respect to the respective plates of the casing (screen casing C10). Therefore, even if the display unit (display unit A) as a whole cannot be shared among models, there is a possibility that it can be shared between models on a board unit basis of the casing. As a result, the display unit can be manufactured at a lower cost than the case of manufacturing the display unit for each model.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine that displays an image projected from a projector on a screen is known (see, for example, JP 2012-147828 A). According to this type of gaming machine, it is possible to express images similar to a liquid crystal display, and it is possible to reduce the cost when the size is increased as compared with a liquid crystal display. In addition, by appropriately setting the shape of the screen, it is possible to perform video expression that is impossible with a liquid crystal display. By the way, in order to widen the range of video expression, it is conceivable to provide a plurality of screens including a movable screen in a gaming machine. In such a gaming machine, when a movable screen is a projection target of the projector, it is necessary to dispose the movable screen in front of other screens. On the other hand, when a screen other than the movable screen is used as the projection target of the projector, it is necessary to dispose the movable screen outside the projection range of the projector so that the projection onto the other screen is not hindered. is there. However, since the space for housing the display unit is limited in the housing of the gaming machine, the display unit cannot be increased in size. For this reason, since the space in which the movable screen can operate is limited, it is difficult to increase the size of the movable screen.

  According to the gaming machine according to the embodiment described above, the pivot axis of the arm is disposed above the center of the second screen when the second screen is in the second position, and the arm is When the second screen is in the second position, the second screen is connected to a position that is an upper part of the second screen. Thereby, the operation range when operating between the first position and the second position of the second screen can be reduced. Thus, the second screen can be enlarged by reducing the operating range of the second screen. In addition, when the second screen is in the first position, the second screen is configured to be inclined upward from the rear end far from the reflection mirror toward the front end close to the reflection mirror. Has been. Thereby, the space | interval of the up-down direction of a 1st screen and a 2nd screen can be shortened in the range which does not inhibit the projection of a projector on a 1st screen.

According to the above configuration, by closing the lower door mechanism DD, the convex portion DD25L1 of the speaker DD25L provided in the lower door mechanism DD interrupts the movement path of the switch cover DE2, and the switch cover DE2 is opened. Can be regulated. On the other hand, since the restriction on the switch cover DE2 of the projection DD25L1 of the speaker DD25L provided in the lower door mechanism DD is released by opening the lower door mechanism DD, the switch cover DE2 cannot be operated with the power switch DE1. It is possible to switch from the closed state to the open state in which the power switch DE1 can be operated.
As a result, it is possible to improve the security by preventing an unauthorized operation on the power supply device DE while ensuring the operability of the power switch DE1 with the lower door mechanism DD opened.

(18-2) In the gaming machine 1 according to the present invention, the switch cover DE2 is switched by sliding between a closed state and an open state,
The convex portion DD25L1 has a convex shape,
When the lower door mechanism DD is closed, the moving path along which the switch cover DE2 slides is interrupted, and the switch cover DE2 is prevented from sliding and being opened.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to switch between the closed state and the open state by sliding the switch cover DE2. Thereby, access to the power switch DE1 in a state where the lower door mechanism DD is opened can be facilitated.
Further, since the convex portion DD25L1 provided on the convex portion DD25L1 has a convex shape, the volume of the speaker DD25L itself can be increased, and the sound quality can be improved at the same time.

(13-1) In the gaming machine 1 according to the present invention, the switch cover DE2 has an inclined surface DE2a.
The convex portion DD25L1 also has an inclined surface DD25La,

Is provided.

  Conventionally, the gaming machine is installed on the island where the game hall is installed. It is known that an automatic circulation supply device for supplying game media such as medals to a game machine is laid on such an installation island.

  In order to supply game media from the automatic circulation supply device, an opening is generally formed on the back surface of the gaming machine housing. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-212282, an automatic circulation replenishing device connection opening formed of four arc-shaped openings whose connection is interrupted by a cutting portion is formed on the back surface of the gaming machine. When installing a gaming machine on an installation island where an automatic circulation replenishment device is laid, an opening is formed in the back of the housing by cutting the cutting part and removing the inner closing plate, and replenishing the automatic circulation replenishment device The road can be inserted through this opening. In the supply path, for example, an outlet is disposed above the hopper tank of the pachislot machine so that medals can be appropriately supplied to the hopper tank.

  By the way, with respect to already installed gaming machines, a change in arrangement location or movement to a different game arcade is generally performed. However, when the automatic circulation replenishment device is not laid on the installation island where the gaming machine is newly installed, in the conventional gaming machine, the opening on the back of the housing once formed is maintained as it is. Could be used illegally. Therefore, when the game machine applied to the installation island where the automatic circulation supply device is laid is applied to the installation island where the automatic circulation supply device is not laid, there is a problem that the security is lowered.

  According to the said structure, the opening which can penetrate the supply path of an automatic circulation replenishment apparatus is formed in the back surface of a housing | casing, This opening can be shielded by the shielding member. The sliding of the shielding member is guided between the shielding state and the open state by the guide member. Further, the shielding member can be screwed and fixed to the rear surface of the housing in the shielding state, and is held by the guide member in the opened state. Thereby, when installing a game machine in the installation island in which the automatic circulation replenishment apparatus was laid, the shielding member is made into an open state by sliding, and the replenishment path of the automatic circulation replenishment apparatus is inserted into the opening on the back. At this time, since the shielding member is held by the holding portion, it is possible to prevent the shielding member from being lost. Further, when the game machine is moved, the opening can be shielded by sliding the shielding member and screwing and fixing in the shielding state. As a result, even if a game machine is applied to an installed island where an automatic circulation replenishment device is not installed after applying it to an installation island where an automatic circulation replenishment device is installed, the opening can be shielded by the shielding member that has been retained. It is possible to maintain security.

(19-2) A housing (cabinet G) in which an opening (replenishment opening G31) through which the replenishment path (medal replenishment port P) of the automatic circulation replenishment device can be inserted is formed on the back surface (rear wall G3);
It is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape that can shield the opening from the inside of the housing, and can be screwed to the back surface in a shielded state in which the opening is shielded, and the upper edge is perpendicular to the back surface.

Two side edges (side edges MH22 and MH22) formed along the side edge of the shielding member in the shielding state in the vertically downward direction from the one end, and the other ends of the two side edges A guide groove (guide groove MH23b) is formed on the back surface side that connects the members and slides the shielding member in the vertical direction, and supports the protruding portion of the shielding member on the upper surface to hold the shielding member A guide member (guide member MH2) having a portion (lower edge portion 23, holding portion MH23a),
Is provided.

  According to the said structure, the opening which can penetrate the supply path of an automatic circulation replenishment apparatus is formed in the back surface of a housing | casing, This opening can be shielded by the shielding member. The shield member is guided to slide between the shield state and the open state by a guide groove formed in the lower edge portion of the guide member. Further, the sliding of the shielding member is restricted in the movement in the vertical upward direction by the upper edge portion of the guide member, and the movement in the horizontal direction is restricted by the two side edge portions and the lower edge portion. It is possible to prevent the shield member from being detached from the guide member during sliding. Further, the shielding member can be screwed and fixed to the rear surface of the housing in the shielding state, and is held by the guide member in the opened state. Thereby, when installing a game machine in the installation island in which the automatic circulation replenishment apparatus was laid, the shielding member is made into an open state by sliding, and the replenishment path of the automatic circulation replenishment apparatus is inserted into the opening on the back. At this time, since the shielding member is held by the holding portion, it is possible to prevent the shielding member from being lost. Further, when the game machine is moved, the opening can be shielded by sliding the shielding member and screwing and fixing in the shielding state. As a result, even if a game machine is applied to an installed island where an automatic circulation replenishment device is not installed after applying it to an installation island where an automatic circulation replenishment device is installed, the opening can be shielded by the shielding member that has been retained. It is possible to maintain security.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a gaming machine in which a control board that performs control related to lottery and effects associated with a game is arranged at the top of the housing, and a hopper device that handles medals is arranged at the bottom of the housing (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2013-188395). Issue gazette). According to such a gaming machine, since there is a distance between the control board and the hopper device, the medal is prevented from physically contacting the control board, and the influence of radiation (electromagnetic field) due to the contact between the medals is also affected. Can be small.

  However, in recent years, in order to simplify component replacement, recycling, and the like, operation devices, rendering devices, and the like are often unitized and arranged on the top of the housing. If it does so, the case where a control board is arrange | positioned in the lower part of a housing | casing on account of a design and the distance between a control board and a hopper apparatus will become near may arise.

  As a result, since the distance between the control board and the hopper device becomes close, the medal may physically come into contact with the control board, or the influence of radiation (electromagnetic field) due to the contact between the medals may be increased.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and even when the distance between the control board and the hopper device is short, the medal physically contacts the control board. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can prevent the influence of radiation (electromagnetic field) due to contact between medals.

(22-1) One of the present invention is a cabinet G having an upper space and a lower space;

According to the above configuration, since the sheet metal BK is provided between the sub-control device SS and the hopper mechanism HP, even if a medal flows into the hopper mechanism HP and jumps out to the sub-control device SS side, the sheet metal BK. This prevents the medal from physically contacting the sub-control device SS. Further, since the sheet metal BK is provided between the sub-control device SS and the hopper mechanism HP, the influence of radiation (electromagnetic field) due to contact between metal medals in the hopper mechanism HP can be prevented by the sheet metal BK.
Further, since the sub-control device SS is provided on the back side of the lower space and is sandwiched between the back wall G3 of the lower space and the sheet metal BK, the sub-control device SS must be removed from the cabinet G without removing the sheet metal BK. It cannot be removed. Thereby, the security for the sub-control device SS is enhanced.

  (22-2) Since the metal plate BK is connected to the metal frame of the gaming machine 1, the radiation due to the medal coming into contact with the metal plate BK and the radiation due to the contact between the metal medals due to the dropping of the medal, It can be grounded through a metal frame.

  Conventionally, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-12239, a button unit provided with a locking portion that is elastically deformed on a side surface so as to be attachable to the front door opening from the front surface is provided. A gaming machine is known in which a button unit is provided with a flange portion larger than the opening in order to fill a gap between the button unit and the opening. In such a gaming machine, the button unit can be easily fitted into the opening from the front using the elastic deformation of the locking portion. Further, since the flange portion fills the gap between the button unit and the opening, it is possible to prevent an illegal act of inserting a wire or the like from the gap to elastically deform the locking portion and removing the button unit.

  However, there are cases where the button unit cannot be sufficiently fixed to the front door only by elastically deforming and fixing the locking portion to the back of the front door. Further, the external appearance may be impaired when the flange portion is exposed to the outside (front door).

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of firmly fixing a button to a housing.

(23-1) One of the present invention is a cabinet G,
A second pedestal portion DD2b provided in the cabinet G and a maximum BET button DD8 attached through an opening portion DD2ba formed in the second pedestal portion DD2b;
With
Maximum BET button DD8
An operation portion DD81 which is disposed outside the cabinet G with respect to the opening portion DD2ba, has a communication hole DD816a / DD816b and screw holes DD8163a / DD8163b, and has a flange DD8111 which is larger than the opening portion DD2ba;
A locking portion DD82 that is disposed on the inner side of the cabinet G with respect to the opening portion DD2ba, has communication holes DD826a and DD826b, and has a flange DD823 that is larger than the opening portion DD2ba.
The gaming machine 1 includes a communication hole DD 826a / DD 826b, a communication hole DD 816a / DD 816b, and a screw DD 83a / DD 83b that is screwed in communication with the screw hole DD8163a / DD8163b.

  According to the above configuration, the operating portion DD81 and the locking portion DD82 are opened by the communication holes DD826a and DD826b, the communication holes DD816a and DD816b, and the screws DD83a and DD833b that are screwed in communication with the screw holes DD8163a and DD8163b. It can be fixed to the second pedestal part DD2b via the part DD2ba. Moreover, since the operation part DD81 has a shape part larger than opening part DD2ba, it can prevent that the maximum BET button DD8 falls into the inner side of the cabinet G from the outer side of opening part DD2ba. Further, since the locking portion DD82 also has a flange DD823 larger than the opening portion DD2ba, the maximum BET button DD8 can be prevented from coming out of the cabinet G from the inside of the opening portion DD2ba. Thereby, the maximum BET button DD8 can be fixed to the second pedestal portion DD2b.

(23-2) In the gaming machine 1 according to the present invention, the operation unit DD81 is
A button base DD811 having through holes DD811a and DD811b;
A first member DD812 that can slide through the through holes DD811a and DD811b by pressing;
A spring DD813 for returning DD812 pushed in by pressing to an initial position;
Have
The shape of the bottom surface of the first member DD812 and the shape of the top surface of the button base DD811 are the same.

According to the above configuration, since the shape of the bottom surface of the first member DD812 and the shape of the top surface of the button base DD811 are the same, when the first member DD812 is viewed from above, the button base DD811 is moved by the first member DD812. Only the first member DD812 that is hidden and hidden by the player can be shown to the outside. Thereby, the external appearance of the maximum BET button DD8 can be simplified, and the design of the external appearance of the gaming machine 1 can be enhanced.
In addition, since the shape of the bottom surface of the first member DD812 is the same as the shape of the top surface of the button base DD811, the shape of the bottom surface of the first member DD812 is smaller than that of the top surface of the button base DD811. The base DD811 can have a structure that can easily prevent unauthorized intrusion through the gap between the through holes DD811a and DD811b.

(24-1) A symbol display means (reel device) provided with a reel (reels RL, RC, RR) on which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged, and capable of performing variable display and stop display of the symbols arranged on the reels RU)
Start command means (start lever DD6, etc.) for outputting a start command signal in response to an operation by the player;

Stop command means (stop buttons DD7L, DD7C, DD7R, etc.) for outputting a stop command signal in response to an operation by the player;
Based on the stop command signal output from the stop command means, stop control means (main control board MS, drive control board RU114) that stops and displays the symbols arranged on the reel by stopping the rotation of the reel. Motor drive unit RU113, etc.)
Reel position specifying means (main control board MS, drive control board RU114, etc.) for specifying the degree of displacement from the reference position of the reel accompanying rotation;
A detection piece (detection piece RU1112) that rotates along a predetermined circumference (circumference RUD) as the reel rotates;
A sensor (sensor unit RU112) having one detection point (detection point RUP) on the circumference as a detection position;
Reference position specifying means (main control board MS or the like) for specifying whether or not the reel has reached a reference position based on detection of the detection piece by the sensor;
With
The reference position specifying means uses the position of the reel when detecting that the detection piece is changed from a non-detection state to a detection state as a first reference position, and the detection piece is detected. The position of the reel when it is detected that the state has changed to an undetected state is set as a second reference position;
The detection piece is continuously detected by the sensor until the reel position becomes the second reference position after the reel position becomes the first reference position.

  Conventionally, a plurality of reels each having a plurality of symbols arranged on the surface, a game medal, a coin, etc. (“medal etc.”) are inserted, and a start lever is operated by a player, and a plurality of reels are detected. A start switch that requests the start of rotation of the reel and a stop button provided corresponding to each of the plurality of reels is detected by the player, and a signal that requests the stop of rotation of the corresponding reel is output. A stop switch that is provided for each of the plurality of reels, and a motor that transmits each driving force to each reel, and a motor that controls the operation of the motor based on signals output from the start switch and the stop switch. A reel control unit for rotating and stopping each reel, and detecting that the start lever has been operated is based on a random number value. A game machine called so-called pachislot is known, which performs lottery and stops the rotation of the reel based on the result of this lottery ("internal winning combination") and the timing at which the stop button is detected. It has been.

  As such a conventional gaming machine, a gaming machine using a stepping motor as a motor for driving the rotation of a reel is known (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-263284). In such a gaming machine, a detection piece (reel index) is provided at a specific location of the reel, and the position of the reel can be calculated based on the number of times a pulse is output with reference to the detection of the reel index. . By calculating the position of the reel using such a method, it is not necessary to provide a number of detection pieces corresponding to the design, and the cost can be reduced.

  However, the position of the reel calculated while the detection piece is not detected is a theoretical position obtained based on the number of times the pulse is output, and an irregularity such as stopping the reel with bare hands occurs. There is a possibility that it does not necessarily coincide with the actual reel position.

  According to the above configuration, the detection piece that rotates along a predetermined circumference along with the rotation of the reel is continuously detected by the sensor having one point on the circumference as a detection position. Then, the first reference position is specified by detecting that the detection piece has changed from the non-detection state to the detection state (so-called on-edge), and the detection piece is detected from the detection state. The second reference position is specified by detecting the change to a non-existing state (so-called off-edge). Accordingly, it is possible to perform detection twice, when the position of the reel reaches the first reference position and when the position of the reel reaches the second reference position, during one rotation of the reel. As described above, since the detection is performed twice during one rotation of the reel, the time until the stop operation becomes effective after the rotation speed of the reel reaches the theoretically specified speed (after the acceleration process is completed). Can be shortened. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility that it is not possible to perform one-round pressing due to the relationship between the position of the pattern to be pressed and the position of the detection piece, and as a result, uneven timing at which the stop operation becomes effective. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling inconvenience during the stop operation.

(24-2) The first reference position and the second reference position are arranged opposite to each other across the central axis on a straight line passing through the central axis of the reel,
The detection piece includes a region on the circumferential path from a position corresponding to the first reference position to a position corresponding to the second reference position along the circumferential path, and the second reference position. And a shape that does not include a region extending from the position corresponding to the position along the circumferential path to the position corresponding to the first reference position.

  According to the above configuration, even if only one sensor is provided, it is possible to perform detection twice during one rotation of the reel, and the same effect as when two sensors are provided can be obtained. It is done. That is, without increasing the number of sensors, it is possible to reduce the possibility that it is not possible to perform one-round pressing depending on the relationship between the position of the pattern to be pressed and the position of the detection piece.

  Conventionally, a plurality of reels each having a plurality of symbols arranged on the surface, a game medal, a coin, etc. (“medal etc.”) are inserted, and a start lever is operated by a player, and a plurality of reels are detected. A start switch that requests the start of rotation of the reel and a stop button provided corresponding to each of the plurality of reels is detected by the player, and a signal that requests the stop of rotation of the corresponding reel is output. A stop switch provided for each of the reels, a stepping motor for transmitting each driving force to each reel, and the operation of the stepping motor based on signals output from the start switch and the stop switch. A reel control unit that controls and rotates and stops each reel, and confirms that the start lever has been operated. And a so-called pachislot that stops the reel rotation based on the lottery result ("internal winning combination") and the timing at which the stop button is detected. Known gaming machines are known.

  As such a conventional gaming machine, there is known a gaming machine including a back lamp that irradiates a symbol from the inside of a reel (see JP 2009-178268 A). According to such a gaming machine, when a combination of symbols is stopped and displayed, a design effect can be given to the symbols themselves, such as highlighting symbols constituting the symbol combination.

  However, in general, in a gaming machine, a plurality of reels are provided adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction. There was a problem that we could not expect.

  According to the said structure, the support plate which supports a reel is arrange | positioned between two adjacent reels, and the front part of the support plate is formed in the side view substantially arcuate shape. Therefore, the support plate has a shape protruding forward as compared to a support plate having a rectangular shape when viewed from the side, and thus has a function as a partition plate. It is possible to prevent light from reaching adjacent reels. In addition, the function as a partition plate is not provided by simply increasing the size of the support plate, and such a function is provided by forming the front portion of the support plate in a substantially arcuate shape when viewed from the side. Therefore, the support plate does not stand out from the viewpoint of the player, and it can be prevented that the aesthetic appearance of the gaming machine is impaired.

  The support plate has a front part having a substantially arcuate shape in a side view and a rear part in a shape (for example, a substantially rectangular shape in a side view) continuously formed rearward from both ends of an arc that defines the bow shape in the side view. Part. Note that the bow is a figure surrounded by an arc and a string connecting ends of the arc.

  Further, the support plate may directly support the reel, or may indirectly support the reel via another member. For example, the support plate may be a motor mounting plate for mounting a motor (stepping motor) that rotates the reel.

Between the two adjacent reels among the plurality of reels, a support plate (motor mounting plate RU11) for supporting the reels is disposed,
The front portion of the support plate is formed in substantially the same shape as the reel in a side view.

  According to the above configuration, the support plate that supports the reel is disposed between two adjacent reels, and the front portion of the support plate is formed in substantially the same shape as the reel in a side view. Therefore, the support plate has a shape protruding forward as compared to a support plate having a rectangular shape when viewed from the side, and thus has a function as a partition plate. It is possible to prevent light from reaching adjacent reels. Moreover, the function as a partition plate is not given by simply increasing the size of the support plate, but such a function is given by forming the front portion of the support plate in substantially the same shape as the reel in a side view. Therefore, the support plate does not stand out from the viewpoint of the player, and it is possible to prevent the aesthetics of the gaming machine from being impaired.

  The front portion of the support plate formed in substantially the same shape as the reel in a side view is substantially the same size as the opposing reel portion, and it is desirable that they overlap. That is, when viewed from one side, the front portion of the support plate is substantially completely covered by the reel, and when viewed from the other side, the portion of the reel that faces the portion is substantially covered by the front portion of the support plate. It is desirable to be completely covered. Thereby, it is possible to achieve a balance between providing the support plate with a function as a partition plate and maintaining the aesthetics of the gaming machine.

  For example, the support plate is formed in a substantially semicircular front part that overlaps the front half of the reel in a side view and continuously from the both ends of an arc that defines the semicircle in a side view toward the rear. You may be comprised by the rear part of shape (for example, side view substantially rectangular shape).

  In such a gaming machine, a reel index that rotates coaxially with the reel is provided in order to accurately control the rotation of the reel (see JP-A-2006-263284). The reel index rotates along a predetermined circumference, and the passage of the reel index is detected by a sensor having one point on the rotation path as a detection position. Then, the position where the reel index is detected is set as the reference position of the reel, and the position of the reel is calculated based on this reference position and the number of excitation steps of the stepping motor.

  Incidentally, the conventional reel index detection sensor is generally disposed on a motor mounting plate to which a reel motor is attached via a base member. Thereby, the sensor is arranged in the vicinity of the rotation path of the reel index. However, if the positioning of the pedestal member to the motor mounting plate is not performed correctly, the gaming machine may be erroneously determined based on the reel stop position, or the gaming machine may be damaged due to contact between the sensor and the reel index.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine equipped with an effect device that can produce an effect by operating a movable body is known (see Patent Document 1). According to such a gaming machine, through the movement of the movable body, it is possible to perform a powerful effect that is difficult to obtain by only the video displayed on the liquid crystal display device. In recent years, it has been required to provide a plurality of such effect devices to further enhance the effect.

  In general, since gaming machines are installed side by side on an installation island in a game hall, the size of the gaming machine is limited. However, when providing a plurality of effect devices and an effect device that occupies a large space, there is a possibility that there is not enough space for a configuration including a reflection plate and a light transmission plate for the effect of light by conventional LEDs. there were.

  According to the above configuration, the light emitted from the light source device toward the front side of the housing is divided into two parts, one is guided to one side surface of the housing by the partition member and transmitted from the side light-transmitting member, The other is transmitted from the front translucent member. Further, light emitted from the light source device toward the rear surface side of the housing is guided to the rendering device side by the light guide member. Thereby, only by providing the light emitting unit on the side surface side, it is possible not only to realize the effect light from the front and side surfaces of the gaming machine housing, but also to irradiate the effect device side. As a result, the space related to the effect light in the gaming machine can be saved, and the expansion of the effect device can be allowed.

  According to the said structure, the advancing direction will be changed to the production | presentation apparatus side by the reflection part, after the light to the rear surface direction side of a light source device injects into a protrusion part. Since the reflecting portion is disposed with the reflecting member engaged, the light is reflected into the inner light guide member. The reflected light passes through the optical path portion having a bent shape, and then reaches the light emitting portion having a zigzag shape. As a result, the light emitting portion is irregularly refracted. Thereby, since the light which advances from the light source of a light-emitting device is radiate | emitted variously outside, presentation property can be improved.

First, with reference to FIG. 145, a functional flow of the gaming machine (hereinafter also referred to as a pachislot) in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 145 is a diagram illustrating a functional flow of the pachislot.

  In the pachislot machine according to the present embodiment, a medal is used as a game medium for playing a game. In addition to the medals, coins, game balls, game point data, tokens, or the like can be applied as game media.

  When a player inserts a medal and operates the start lever, one value (hereinafter, random number value) is extracted from random numbers in a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 65535).

  The internal lottery means performs lottery based on the extracted random number value and determines an internal winning combination. By determining the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols that permits display along a winning determination line described later is determined. The types of symbol combinations include those related to “winning” in which medals are paid out, replays, etc. are given to the player, and those other than so-called “losing”. Yes.

  Subsequently, after a plurality of reels (left reel, middle reel, and right reel) have been rotated, when the player presses the stop button, the reel stop control means has the internal winning combination and the stop button Control to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel is performed based on the pressed timing.

  Here, in the pachislot, basically, the control of stopping the rotation of the corresponding reel is performed within a specified time (190 msec) from when the stop button is pressed. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols that move with the rotation of the reel within the specified time is referred to as “the number of sliding symbols”, and the maximum number is determined as four symbols.

  The reel stop control means displays the symbol combination as much as possible along the winning determination line using the specified time when an internal winning combination permitting display of the symbol combination related to winning is determined. Stop the reel rotation so that On the other hand, for the combination of symbols that are not permitted to be displayed by the internal winning combination, the reel rotation is stopped so that the combination is not displayed along the winning determination line using the specified time.

  Thus, when the rotation of the plurality of reels is all stopped, the winning determination means determines whether or not the combination of symbols displayed along the winning determination line is related to winning. When it is determined that the prize is related to a prize, a bonus such as a medal payout is given to the player. A series of flows as described above is performed as one game (unit game) in the pachislot.

  In this specification, the reel stop operation (stop button operation) that is performed first when all the reels (left reel, middle reel, and right reel) are rotating is referred to as a first stop operation. The stop operation performed after the first stop operation is referred to as a second stop operation, and the stop operation performed after the second stop operation is referred to as a third stop operation.

  In addition, in the pachislot, various effects are performed by using the display of video performed by the display unit, the output of light by various LEDs, the output of sound by a speaker, or a combination thereof in the above-described series of flows. Is called.

  When the player operates the start lever, an effect random number value (hereinafter referred to as effect random number value) is extracted separately from the random value used for determining the internal winning combination. When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determining means determines, by lottery, what is to be executed this time from among a plurality of types of effect contents associated with the internal winning combination.

  When the content of the production is determined, the production execution means is linked to each opportunity such as when the rotation of the reel is started, when the rotation of each reel is stopped, or when the presence / absence of a prize is determined. To proceed with the production. In this way, in the pachislot, the player is given the opportunity to know or predict the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of symbols to be aimed at) by executing the production contents associated with the internal winning combination. As a result, the player's interest is improved.

<Adhesion between base member and cover member>
With reference to FIGS. 163 to 165, the adhesion (step (iii) above) between the base member 2010 and the cover member 2020 will be described. FIG. 163 is a diagram illustrating a state when the base member and the cover member are aligned. FIG. 164 is a bottom view of the base-side adhesive portion and the cover-side adhesive portion in a state where the base member and the cover member are screwed together. FIG. 165 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the sub-control device shown in FIG. 152A.

  As described above, the base member 2010 and the cover member 2020 are screwed together before the base member 2010 and the cover member 2020 are bonded (step (ii) above). When the base member 2010 and the cover member 2020 are screwed together, the position of the screw hole 2014 formed in the bottom plate 2011 of the base member 2010 and the position of the boss portion 2023 formed in the cover member 2020 are matched. The base-side adhesive portion 2030 and the cover-side adhesive portion 2050 are also in corresponding positions (see FIG. 163).

  When the base member 2010 and the cover member 2020 are screwed together, the upper end surface 2028 (see FIG. 153) of the side edge portion 2012 of the base member 2010 and the lower end surface 2019 (see FIG. 153) of the side edge portion 2022 of the cover member 2020. 159) are in contact with each other. At that time, a portion of the base side adhesive portion 2030 that is formed above the upper end surface 2028 of the side edge portion 2012 is an opening of the cover side adhesive portion 2050 (front inner wall portion 2054, upper inner wall portion 2055, and side inner wall portion. 2056 and a space surrounded by the rear inner wall portion 2057) (see FIG. 164). A space surrounded by the front inner wall portion 2054, the upper inner wall portion 2055, the side inner wall portion 2056, and the rear inner wall portion 2057 is also referred to as an inner space of the cover side adhesive portion 2050.

  In a state where the base-side adhesive portion 2030 is accommodated in the internal space of the cover-side adhesive portion 2050, the front inner wall portion 2054 of the cover-side adhesive portion 2050 is positioned in front of the front wall portion 2031 of the base-side adhesive portion 2030. Thus, a gap is generated between the front inner wall portion 2054 and the front wall portion 2031. In particular, the curved surface 2054b of the front inner wall portion 2054 and the curved surface 2031b of the front wall portion 2031 face each other, and a large gap is generated between the curved surface 2054b and the curved surface 2031b as compared with the surroundings.

  In this embodiment, a nozzle is inserted from a gap formed between the curved surface 2054b and the curved surface 2031b, and an adhesive is injected using the nozzle. As described above, the curved surface 2054b of the cover-side adhesive portion 2050 has a tapered shape, but the shape corresponds to the shape of the nozzle, and when the adhesive is injected, the nozzle is formed on the curved surface 2054b. Engaged. A relatively large gap exists between the curved surface 2054b and the curved surface 2031b, and a structure in which a nozzle can be easily inserted is formed. The nozzle is inserted from the bottom side of the cover-side adhesive portion 2050 and the base-side adhesive portion 2030, and when the adhesive is injected, the cover is arranged so that the upper inner wall portion 2055 of the cover-side adhesive portion 2050 is positioned below. The positions of the side adhesive portion 2050 and the base side adhesive portion 2030 are maintained.

  An ultraviolet curable adhesive is used as the adhesive. The ultraviolet curable adhesive injected from the nozzle is filled in a portion of the internal space of the cover side adhesive portion 2050 that is not occupied by the base side adhesive portion 2030.

  Specifically, in the internal space of the cover-side adhesive portion 2050, a gap is formed between the front inner wall portion 2054 of the cover-side adhesive portion 2050 and the front wall portion 2031 of the base-side adhesive portion 2030, and the rear side. Thus, a gap also occurs between the rear inner wall portion 2057 of the cover side adhesive portion 2050 and the rear wall portion 2035 of the base side adhesive portion 2030 (see FIG. 165), and these gaps are filled with an ultraviolet curable adhesive. The

  The ultraviolet curable adhesive injected from the nozzle moves rearward along the groove 2031c formed in the front wall 2031. Since the groove portion 2031c is formed symmetrically with respect to the curved surface 2031b (see FIG. 154), the amount of the ultraviolet curable adhesive that moves backward is hardly generated on the right side and the left side of the curved surface 2031b. A curable adhesive can be uniformly filled.

Accordingly, a gap is generated between the upper inner wall portion 2055 where the protrusion 2055a is not formed and the upper wall portion 2032, and the ultraviolet curable adhesive injected from the nozzle also moves backward from the gap. .

  In this embodiment, since the protrusion 2055a is formed on the upper inner wall portion 2055 of the cover side adhesive portion 2050, the base side adhesive portion 2030 is accommodated in the process of accommodating the base side adhesive portion 2030 in the internal space of the cover side adhesive portion 2050. If the base-side adhesive portion 2030 is pushed into the cover-side adhesive portion 2050 until the upper wall portion 2032 contacts the protrusion 2055a, a gap (adhesive of adhesive) is automatically formed between the upper inner wall portion 2055 and the upper wall portion 2032. Travel route) will occur. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently secure the movement path of the adhesive without requiring laborious work such as alignment.

  Further, if an error occurs in the size of the base-side adhesive portion 2030 and the cover-side adhesive portion 2050 during the molding process (when the position of the upper wall portion 2032 of the base-side adhesive portion 2030 is formed higher, Even when the position of the upper inner wall portion 2055 of the side adhesive portion 2050 is low), at least a gap corresponding to the height of the protrusion 2055a is secured between the upper inner wall portion 2055 and the upper wall portion 2032. be able to. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the adhesive movement path from being blocked.

  In this manner, after the ultraviolet curable adhesive is filled in the portion of the internal space of the cover side adhesive portion 2050 that is not occupied by the base side adhesive portion 2030, the ultraviolet curable adhesive is cured by being irradiated with ultraviolet rays. Is done. Thus, through the cured adhesive, the wall portions (front inner wall portion 2054, upper inner wall portion 2055, side inner wall portion 2056, and rear inner wall portion 2057) constituting the internal space of the cover-side adhesive portion 2050, and the concerned The base side adhesion part 2030 accommodated in the space is adhered.

As shown in FIG. 154, when the second adhesive portion (base-side adhesive portion 2030) is viewed from the front, the second concave portion (curved surface 2031b) is left and right in the second adhesive portion (base-side adhesive portion 2030). It is desirable to be formed in the approximate center of the direction. Furthermore, it is desirable that the groove (groove portion 2031c) along the outer periphery of the second adhesive portion (base-side adhesive portion 2030) is formed to be symmetric with respect to the second concave portion (curved surface 2031b). This facilitates uniform filling of the adhesive.

  The number of protrusions (projections 2055a) formed on the closed wall portion (upper wall portion 2052) of the first adhesive portion (cover-side adhesive portion 2050) is not particularly limited, and may be one or plural. Good. In addition, the shape and size of the protrusion (projection 2055a) are not particularly limited, but when a plurality of protrusions (projections 2055a) are provided, the shape and size of the plurality of protrusions (projections 2055a) are substantially the same. Is desirable. Further, the position at which the projection (projection 2055a) is formed in the closed wall portion (upper wall portion 2052) is not particularly limited, but when a plurality of projections (projections 2055a) are provided, the plurality of projections (projections 2055a) are provided.

  A motor accommodating portion C22 is formed on the right side plate C2. The drive motor F24 is positioned and arranged by the motor housing portion C22. The drive motor F24 is a component of the reel screen drive mechanism F2 for driving the reel screen mechanism F1. The reel screen drive mechanism F2 will be described in detail later.

  Moreover, the 1st support part C23 and the 2nd support part C24 are each formed in the right side board C2 and the left side board C3. The first support portion C23 rotatably supports the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21. The second support portion C24 rotatably supports the shaft member E3 that becomes the gear shaft of the intermediate gear E23. The crank gear E21 and the intermediate gear E23 are components of the front screen drive mechanism E2 for driving the front screen mechanism E1.

FIG. 178 is a cross-sectional view along the arrow EE of the front screen support shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 170, the front screen mechanism E1 includes a rectangular front screen member E11 having a projection surface E11a on the entire surface, and a front screen support base E12 having patterns such as a first pattern surface E12a on both surfaces. Have.

  The front screen member E11 is formed by applying screen paint to a thin flat panel. Thereby, as for the front screen member E11, the projection surface E11a is formed in flat shape.

  On the other hand, the front screen support E12 has a holding recess E121 that holds the front screen member E11. The holding recess E121 has an opening shape similar to that of the projection surface E11a of the front screen member E11 in a slightly enlarged state, and accommodates the entire front screen member E11. In addition, the holding recess E121 is set in two stages of a deep part and a shallow part.

  The shallow portion is formed in a lattice shape by a portion formed along the longitudinal direction of the front screen support base E12 and a portion formed along the short direction of the front screen support base E12. Specifically, the shallow portion includes an outer shallow portion E122 (E122a, E122b, E122c, E122d) formed along each side constituting the outer periphery of the holding recess E121, and a longitudinal direction inside the holding recess E121. The formed long shallow part E123 (E123a, E123b, E123c) and the short shallow part E124 (E124a, E124b, E124c) formed along the short direction inside the holding recess E121.

  Outer shallow part E122, outer shallower part E122b and outer shallower part E122d are formed along the longitudinal direction, and outer shallower part E122a and outer shallower part E122c are formed along the shorter direction. The outer shallow portion E122a and the outer shallow portion E122b are continuously formed, and the outer shallow portion E122b and the outer shallow portion E122c are continuously formed. On the other hand, the outer shallow portion E122c and the outer shallow portion E122d are not formed continuously, and a gap is provided between the outer shallow portion E122c and the outer shallow portion E122d. Similarly, the outer shallow portion E122d and the outer shallow portion E122a are not continuously formed, and a gap is provided between the outer shallow portion E122d and the outer shallow portion E122a.

  The long shallow portion E123b is formed over the longitudinal direction in the central portion in the short direction, and the short shallow portion E124b is formed in the short direction in the central portion in the longitudinal direction. Grooves are formed in the outer shallow portion E122 (E122a, E122b, E122c, E122d), the long shallow portion E123b, and the short shallow portion E124b.

  The front screen member E11 accommodated in the holding recess E121 is in contact with and supported by the shallow portion formed in a lattice shape as described above, and is separated from the remaining deep portion (FIGS. 172 to 172). 175).

  Further, the front screen support E12 has a first pattern surface E12a in a partial region around the projection surface E11a. The first pattern surface E12a is visible to the player in front when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position. Further, the front screen support E12 has a second pattern surface E12b on the entire surface opposite to the first pattern surface E12a (see FIG. 176). The second pattern surface E12b is visible to the player in front when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position. In the first pattern surface E12a and the second pattern surface E12b, for example, a pattern related to a game effect is three-dimensionally formed by unevenness.

  The flat panel constituting the front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 are each produced by injection molding. As a material for the flat panel and the front screen support E12 constituting the front screen member E11, a thermoplastic resin (for example, ABS resin) can be appropriately employed.

  The front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 configured as described above are integrated by being separately formed and then adhered. An adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the front screen member E11 opposite to the projection surface E11a by applying a paint containing an adhesive resin. The front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 are adhered by the adhesive layer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be formed not on the front screen member E11 but on the shallow portion of the front screen support E12.

  Examples of the adhesive resin include acrylic, rubber-based, silicone-based, and other adhesive resins. For example, an acrylic copolymer can be used. Examples of the acrylic copolymer include a (meth) acrylic ester copolymer, and in this embodiment, a (meth) acrylic ester copolymer that has been conventionally used as a resin component of the pressure-sensitive adhesive is used. Any combination can be appropriately selected and used.

  The front screen support E12 is formed with through holes E130 (E130a, E130b, E130c, E130d) penetrating from the holding recess E121 to the second pattern surface E12b. The through hole E130a is formed in a gap between the outer shallow portion E122c and the outer shallow portion E122d. The through hole E130b is formed in a gap between the outer shallow portion E122d and the outer shallow portion E122a. The through hole E130c is formed in the vicinity of the contact point between the outer shallow portion E122a and the long shallow portion E123c. The through hole E130d is formed in the vicinity of the contact point between the outer shallow portion E122c and the long shallow portion E123c.

  These four through holes E130 are a line segment connecting the through hole E130a and the through hole E130b, a line segment connecting the through hole E130b and the through hole E130c, a line segment connecting the through hole E130c and the through hole E130d, and a through hole They are provided in such a positional relationship that a substantially rectangular shape is formed by a line segment connecting the hole E130d and the through hole E130a.

  The through hole E130 is formed so that the shape in front view becomes a circle, an ellipse, a quadrangle, a hexagon, and the like, and the hole diameter is large enough to accommodate the axis of a screw used for assembling the display unit A. (For example, about 1 to 10 mm). Thereby, even after the front screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 are adhered, the front screen member E11 is lifted by inserting a screw or a rod-like object into the through-hole E130, and thereby the front screen member E11 is lifted. The member E11 can be removed.

  Further, in the front screen support base E12, the portion to be adhered to the front screen member E11 is only a shallow portion formed in a lattice shape, and most of the front screen member E11 is adhered to the front screen support base E12. Not. Thereby, the front screen member E11 can be removed relatively easily.

  Further, gaps are formed between the outer shallow portion E122c and the outer shallow portion E122d, and between the outer shallow portion E122d and the outer shallow portion E122a. The screen member E11 and the front screen support E12 are not adhered. The location corresponds to the vicinity of the corner portion of the front screen member E11, and the front screen member E11 and the front screen support base E12 are not sufficiently adhered in the vicinity of such a corner portion. Due to this, when an attempt is made to lift the front screen member E11 by inserting screws or rod-like objects into the through holes E130a and E130b formed in these gaps, the front screen member E11 is moved to the front. The force to peel off from the screen support base E12 acts efficiently, making it easier to remove the front screen member E11.

  As described above, the through hole E130 is formed to penetrate from the holding recess E121 to the second pattern surface E12b. FIG. 177 is a cross-sectional view of the front screen support E12 cut along a plane passing through the through hole E130. FIG. 177 also shows the state.

  Thus, since the through hole E130 provided in the holding recess E121 penetrates to the second pattern surface E12b, as shown in FIG. 176, when the front screen mechanism E1 is viewed from the second pattern surface E12b side. Through hole E130 becomes visible.

  As described in the second embodiment, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position, the front screen mechanism E1 is inclined so as to incline downward from the front toward the rear on the upper side of the screen casing C10 (see FIG. 50). For this reason, the 2nd pattern surface E12b side of front screen mechanism E1 will be in the state which can be visually recognized from a player via upper display window UD1. However, since the three-dimensional pattern which has an unevenness | corrugation is formed in the 2nd pattern surface E12b, the through-hole E130 is confused with the said pattern and is not conspicuous in appearance.

  In particular, the through hole E <b> 130 is provided in a recessed portion (a position recessed relative to the surroundings) of the unevenness constituting the pattern. That is, the through hole E130 is present in a recessed portion on the second pattern surface E12b. In combination with this, the front screen mechanism E1 is inclined at the front standby position, and the through hole E130 is hidden behind the convex portion of the pattern formed on the second pattern surface E12b. The player's view is difficult.

  Furthermore, a plurality of round recesses E140 are formed on the second pattern surface E12b. The round recess E140 is a constituent element of the pattern formed on the second pattern surface E12b, and has a concave shape on the second pattern surface E12b. However, unlike the through hole E130, the recess does not penetrate to the holding recess E121. FIG. 178 is a cross-sectional view of the front screen support E12 cut along a plane passing through the circular recess E140. FIG. 178 also shows the state.

  Such a round recess E140 is similar in shape to the through hole E130 in front view, and due to the presence of the round recess E140, when the front screen mechanism E1 is viewed from the second pattern surface E12b side, the through hole E130. Is less noticeable.

<Front screen drive mechanism E2>
The front screen mechanism E1 is rotatable by the driving force of the front screen drive mechanism E2. As described with reference to FIGS. 168 and 169, the front screen drive mechanism E2 is connected to the left front screen drive mechanism E2A connected to the lower surface of the left end of the front screen mechanism E1, and to the lower surface of the right end of the front screen mechanism E1. And a right front screen drive mechanism E2B.

  FIG. 179 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state where the right side plate and the left side plate of the screen casing are removed. FIG. 180 is a perspective view of the right front screen drive mechanism. FIG. 181 is an explanatory diagram showing a state where the crank gear of the right front screen drive mechanism is removed. FIG. 182 is a plan view of the crank gear of the right front screen drive mechanism. FIG. 183 is a perspective view of the right front screen mechanism and the left front screen drive mechanism.

  As shown in FIGS. 179 and 180, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B includes a crank member E22, a crank gear E21, an intermediate gear E23, a motor shaft gear E24, and a drive motor E25. One end of the crank member E22 in the right front screen drive mechanism E2B is connected to the front screen mechanism E1.

  Similar to the second embodiment, the crank member E22 is pivotally supported by the right movable body base C5 at the intermediate position E22a (see FIG. 181). Thereby, the crank member E22 can be rotated about the intermediate position E22a as a rotation center. The intermediate position E22a coincides with the rotation center axis FG (see FIG. 53) of the front screen mechanism E1.

  As described with reference to FIG. 57, the crank member E22 has an upper region from the intermediate position E22a on the upper end side (side connected to the front screen mechanism E1) and a lower end portion from the intermediate position E22a (front screen mechanism). And a lower region on the side opposite to the side connected to E1. A slide groove E22b is formed in the lower region of the crank member E22 (see FIG. 181).

  The slide groove E22b is formed such that the groove wall surface E22b1 has a U-shape when viewed from the side. The U-shape is composed of two straight portions and a curved portion connecting the ends of the two straight portions. The two straight portions are formed in parallel, and the slide groove E22b has a surface corresponding to the straight portion of the groove wall surface E22b1 at the center line of the lower region (intermediate position E22a and the middle of the lower end side of the crank member E22). Straight line passing through the point). A slide member E26 is movably engaged with the slide groove E22b. The groove width of the slide groove E22b (distance between the two straight portions) is substantially equal to the member width of the slide member E26, and is set to slide during movement. That is, the slide member E26 is always in contact with the groove wall surface E22b1 of the slide groove E22b. Further, the upper end portion of the slide groove E22b is set so that the slide member E26 contacts the upper end surface (surface corresponding to the curved portion) when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture. On the other hand, the lower end portion of the slide groove E22b is open so that a part of the slide member E26 can be exposed.

  The slide member E26 is rotatably supported at an eccentric position E21b (see FIG. 182) of the crank gear E21. The gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 is supported by the first support portion C23 (see FIG. 169) of the right side plate C2. Furthermore, the crank member E22 is pivotally supported by the right movable body base C5 at an intermediate position E22a (see FIG. 181). Similarly to the second embodiment, the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 has a line segment connecting the gear shaft E21a and the eccentric position E21b when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture. It is set to have a relationship orthogonal to a line segment connecting the intermediate position E22a at E22 and the center point of the slide member E26 (see FIGS. 58 and 60).

  Thereby, when the front screen mechanism E1 is in the standby posture or the exposed posture, even if a force is applied in a direction in which the lower region of the crank member E22 is rotated, the gear shaft E21a is applied in the direction in which all components of the force are applied. Exists and acts as a fixed end, so that the slide member E26 does not move. As a result, a truss structure is formed by a three-joint link having zero degrees of freedom with the intermediate position E22a of the crank member E22 and the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 as fixed ends and the slide member E26 as a free end. Even when E1 is pushed by hand, the front screen mechanism E1 does not move because the crank member E22 and the crank gear E21 act as a strong brake.

  An intermediate gear E23 is meshed with the crank gear E21. A motor shaft gear E24 is meshed with the intermediate gear E23. The drive shaft of the drive motor E25 is connected to the motor shaft gear E24. Thereby, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B can transmit the rotational driving force of the drive motor E25 to the crank gear E21 via the motor shaft gear E24 and the intermediate gear E23.

  When a rotational driving force is applied to the crank gear E21, the slide member E26 provided at the eccentric position E21b is movable along the slide groove E22b by sliding with the slide groove E22b. The intermediate position E22a and the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 are fixed ends, and a one-degree-of-freedom two-joint link is formed in which the slide member E26 is a free end movable along the groove wall surface. When the slide member E26 rotates, the crank member E22 having the slide groove E22b with which the slide member E26 is engaged rotates about the intermediate position E22a, and the upper region of the crank member E22 rotates. Become. As a result, the front screen mechanism E1 moves between the front standby position and the front exposure position.

  As shown in FIG. 183, the left front screen drive mechanism E2A has the same configuration as the right front screen drive mechanism E2B except for the motor shaft gear E24 and the drive motor E25. The left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the right front screen drive mechanism E2B are arranged symmetrically.

  The intermediate gear E23 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the intermediate gear E23 of the right front screen drive mechanism E2B are connected via a shaft member E3.

  Specifically, the shaft member E3 extends in the left-right direction, and intermediate gears E23 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the right front screen drive mechanism E2B are connected to both ends thereof.

  In the above configuration, when the drive motor E25 is driven, the motor shaft gear E24 is rotated. As the motor shaft gear E24 rotates, the intermediate gears E23 and E23 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the shaft member E3 rotate together. Then, in conjunction with the rotation of the intermediate gears E23 and E23, the crank gears E21 and E21 are rotated, whereby the front screen mechanism E1 is rotated about the rotation center axis FG (see FIG. 53). Then, it moves between the front standby position and the front exposure position.

It becomes. The surface of the crank gear E21, the surface of the intermediate gear E23, and the surface of the right side plate C2 are each arranged substantially in parallel.

  As shown in FIG. 184, a mark E21c and a through hole E21d are formed in the crank gear E21. The mark portion E21c and the through hole E21d are formed as holes that penetrate from the front side to the back side of the crank gear E21 shown in FIG. The mark portion E21c and the through hole E21d are formed so that the shape in a front view is a circle (or an ellipse, a rectangle, a hexagon, etc.). The mark portion E21c and the through hole E21d are formed to be considerably smaller than the crank gear E21, and the hole diameter is, for example, about 1 to 10 mm. The mark portion E21c and the through hole E21d are formed in the vicinity of the circumference of the crank gear E21, the distance from the center O21 of the crank gear E21 to the mark portion E21c, and the center gear O21 of the crank gear E21 to the through hole E21d. Is set to be about 75% to 90% of the radius of the crank gear E21. The mark portion E21c and the through hole E21d are formed in a positional relationship such that an angle formed between a straight line connecting the center O21 and the mark portion E21c and a straight line connecting the center O21 and the through hole E21d is about 160 °. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 185, two mark portions E23a are formed in the intermediate gear E23. The mark portion E23a is formed as a hole penetrating from the front side to the back side of the intermediate gear E23 shown in FIG. The mark portion E23a is formed so that the shape in front view is a circle (or an ellipse, a rectangle, a hexagon, etc.). The mark portion E23a is formed with a considerably smaller size than the intermediate gear E23, and the hole diameter is, for example, about 1 to 10 mm. The mark portion E23a is formed near the circumference of the intermediate gear E23, and the distance from the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23 to the mark portion E23a is about 75% to 90% of the radius of the intermediate gear E23. Is set to The two mark portions E23a are formed at symmetrical positions with respect to the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23.

  The mark part E21c and the mark part E23a may have any characteristics as long as they function as marks. That is, the mark part E21c and the mark part E23a are not limited to through holes, and may be holes (concave parts) that do not penetrate, protrusions (convex parts), or combinations of concave parts and convex parts ( It may be a pattern with unevenness, may be a part where a character or symbol is drawn with a pen or the like, or may be a part painted with a color different from the surroundings.

  As shown in FIG. 187, the right side plate C2 is provided with a mark window C100 in the vicinity of the center between the first support portion C23 and the second support portion C24. The mark window C100 is formed as an opening through which the inside of the right side plate C2 can be visually recognized.

  The mark window C100 is formed in a slightly vertically long rectangular shape, and the intersection (rectangular center of gravity) of two diagonal lines of the rectangle is the center (intermediate position) between the first support portion C23 and the second support portion C24. ). Further, the length of the diagonal line is approximately equal to or slightly shorter than the average value of the radius of the crank gear E21 and the radius of the intermediate gear E23 (80% of the average value of the radius of the crank gear E21 and the radius of the intermediate gear E23). About 110%). Thus, the vicinity of the meshing portion between the crank gear E21 and the intermediate gear E23 can be visually recognized through the mark window C100.

  Further, a through hole C101 is formed in the right side plate C2. The through hole C101 is formed as a hole penetrating the right side plate C2, and the size of the hole is substantially the same as the through hole E21d formed in the crank gear E21, and is considerably smaller than the mark window C100. ing. For example, the area of the mark window C100 in the front view is about 30 to 300 times (or about 50 to 200 times) the area of the through hole C101 in the front view. The shape of the through hole C101 is substantially the same as the through hole E21d, and is, for example, a substantially circular shape in front view. The through hole C101 is formed in the vicinity of the operation opening C21.

  When the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposed position, a mark portion E21c formed on the crank gear E21 and a mark portion E23a (see FIG. 186) formed on the intermediate gear E23 are formed on the right side plate C2. It is visible through the mark window C100 (see FIG. 188). In FIG. 188, the center O21 of the crank gear E21 and the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23 cannot be directly visually recognized. However, since the screw C23a and the screw C24a are arranged at positions corresponding to the center O21 of the crank gear E21 and the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23, respectively, the center O21 and the intermediate gear of the crank gear E21 are set by the screw C23a and the screw C24a. The position of the center O23 of E23 can be confirmed. Thereby, the center O21 of the crank gear E21, the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23, the mark portion E21c formed on the crank gear E21, and the mark portion E23a formed on the intermediate gear E23 are arranged in a substantially straight line. I can understand that.

  Although not shown, the right side plate C2 and the crank gear E21 are arranged substantially in parallel with the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 being supported by the first support portion C23 of the right side plate C2. When the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposed position, in the right side view (or left side view), the through hole C101 formed in the right plate C2 and the through hole formed in the crank gear E21. The hole E21d overlaps. That is, when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the right side plate C2, the position of the through hole C101 substantially coincides with the position of the through hole E21d, and these positions overlap each other. Thereby, a part of member arrange | positioned inside the crank gear E21 inside the screen housing | casing C10 can be seen through the said superimposition location. As will be described later, a rod-like object can be inserted through both of the through hole C101 and the through hole E21d at the overlapping portion.

<Positional relationship between front screen mechanism E1 and slide member E26>
FIG. 189 is a left side view of the crank gear of the right front screen drive mechanism when the front screen mechanism is disposed at the front exposed position. FIG. 189 coincides with the view seen from the direction of the rotation axis of the crank gear E21.

  As described above, the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 is supported by the first support portion C23. Therefore, even if the crank gear E21 rotates, the position of the center O21 of the crank gear E21 does not change.

  On the other hand, the crank gear E21 is provided with a slide member E26. As described above, the slide member E26 is pivotally supported at the eccentric position E21b (see FIG. 182) of the crank gear E21. When the crank gear E21 rotates, the slide member E26 also rotates accordingly. Specifically, the slide member E26 is a circle whose center is the center O21 of the crank gear E21 and whose radius is the distance r (see FIG. 189) between the center O21 and the eccentric position E21b as the crank gear E21 rotates. Rotate on the circumference. That is, the locus drawn by the slide member E26 when the crank gear E21 rotates is a part (arc) of the circumference.

  Then, as the slide member E26 rotates on the arc, as described above, the slide member E26 slides inside the slide groove E22b, and the driving force is transmitted to the crank member E22 via the slide member E26. The In conjunction with this, the front screen mechanism E1 connected to the crank member E22 rotates between the front exposure position and the front standby position (see FIGS. 57 to 60).

  Thus, while the front screen mechanism E1 rotates between the front exposure position and the front standby position, the slide member E26 moves while changing its position on the arc with time. At that time, the position of the slide member E26 on the arc (the position of the eccentric position E21b on the arc) is determined by the straight line connecting the eccentric position E21b and the center O21 of the crank gear E21 and the horizontal direction. It is represented by an angle formed by a straight line (a straight line connecting a fixed point X21 whose position does not change regardless of rotation of the crank gear E21 and the center O21) (hereinafter, this angle is expressed as ∠EOX) (see FIG. 189).

  Then, using such an angle ∠EOX, the value of ∠EOX when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position is expressed as α, and the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position. The value of ∠EOX in the case is expressed as β. Then, when the front screen mechanism E1 rotates from the front exposure position to the front standby position, the heel EOX changes over time from α to β.

  As described above, the front screen mechanism E1 and the front screen drive mechanism E2 according to this embodiment change the crank gear E21 so that the angle ∠EOX indicating the position of the slide member E26 changes over time from α to β. Thus, the driving force is transmitted to the front screen mechanism E1 by sliding the slide member E26 in the slide groove E22b so that the front screen mechanism E1 is rotated from the front exposed position to the front standby position. Designed to.

<Assembly of front screen mechanism E1 and front screen drive mechanism E2>
FIG. 190 is a diagram illustrating the crank gear in a state before the crank gear and the crank member are assembled. FIG. 191 is a diagram illustrating the crank member in a state before the crank gear and the crank member are assembled. 190 and 191, only the crank gear and the crank member, and some members existing around them are shown, and the other members are not shown for convenience.

  In order to rotate the front screen mechanism E1 as designed as described above, when the front screen mechanism E1 and the front screen drive mechanism E2 are assembled, the crank gear is subjected to the following steps (i) to (v). What is necessary is just to assemble | attach E21 and the crank member E22.

(I) The crank gear E21 is attached to the right side plate C2 so that the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21 is supported by the first support portion C23 of the right side plate C2 (see FIG. 190).
(Ii) By manually rotating the crank gear E21 of (i) above, the angle ∠EOX indicating the position of the slide member E26 is adjusted, and the crank gear E21 is arranged so that ∠EOX = α (FIG. 190). reference)
(Iii) In a state where ∠EOX = α, the crank gear E21 is fixed so as not to rotate further.
(Iv) The posture of the crank member E22 is set to the posture (exposed posture) when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposed position (see FIG. 191).
(V) The slide member E26 provided on the crank gear E21 of (iii) is engaged with the slide groove E22b formed on the crank member E22 of (iv).

  Among the above (i) to (v), the steps (i), (iv), and (v) can be performed by appropriately adopting conventionally known means. Below, it demonstrates centering on the process of said (ii) and (iii).

  FIG. 192 is a right side view showing a state where the crank gear is attached to the right side plate. FIG. 193 is a diagram illustrating a state in which an intermediate gear is attached to the right side plate and the crank gear illustrated in FIG. 192.

  In the step (ii), first, the crank gear E21 of (i) is moved while visually checking the mark portion E21c formed on the crank gear E21 through the mark window C100 formed on the right side plate C2. Rotate manually. Then, as shown in FIG. 192, a mark portion E21c formed on the crank gear E21 includes a center O21 of the crank gear E21 (a screw C23a for fastening the right side plate C2 and the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21), and a second portion. The position of the crank gear E21 is adjusted so as to be arranged on a straight line connecting the center of the hole formed as the support portion C24.

  On the other hand, the shaft member E3 and the intermediate gear E23 fixed in advance are temporarily fixed according to the position of the second support portion C24. At that time, the intermediate gear E23 is manually rotated while visually recognizing the mark portion E23a formed in the intermediate gear E23 through the mark window C100. As shown in FIG. 193, a mark E23a formed in the intermediate gear E23 includes a center O21 of the crank gear E21 (a screw C23a for fastening the right side plate C2 and the gear shaft E21a of the crank gear E21), and an intermediate gear. The position of the intermediate gear E23 is adjusted so as to be arranged on a straight line connecting the center O23 of E23 (screw C24a visible from the hole formed as the second support portion C24).

  Thus, by using the mark portion E23a formed on the intermediate gear E23 as a mark together with the mark portion E21c formed on the crank gear E21, the position adjustment of the crank gear E21 can be performed strictly.

  Here, the position (eccentric position E21b) of the slide member E26 on the crank gear E21 is formed in the center O21 of the crank gear E21, the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23, the mark E21c formed in the crank gear E21, and the intermediate gear E23. When the marked portion E23a is aligned on a straight line, the angle ∠EOX described with reference to FIG. 189 is designed to be α.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 192 and 193, the center O21 of the crank gear E21, the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23, the mark portion E21c formed on the crank gear E21, and the mark portion E23a formed on the intermediate gear E23. , EOX = α can be obtained by arranging the crank gear E21 and the intermediate gear E23 so that they are aligned on a straight line.

  However, even if the flange EOX (the position of the slide member E26) is adjusted in this way, the crank gear E21 is easily rotated, and the adjusted position is likely to be displaced. Therefore, the crank gear E21 is in a state where the center O21 of the crank gear E21, the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23, the mark portion E21c formed on the crank gear E21, and the mark portion E23a formed on the intermediate gear E23 are aligned. Is fixed so that it does not move (step (iii) above). The crank gear E21 can be fixed as follows.

  As described with reference to FIG. 187, the right side plate C2 has a through hole C101. The through hole C101 is formed when the center O21 of the crank gear E21, the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23, the mark E21c formed in the crank gear E21, and the mark E23a formed in the intermediate gear E23 are aligned. It is designed so that the through hole C101 and the through hole E21d formed in the crank gear E21 just overlap with each other (when the crank gear E21 is arranged so that ∠EOX = α).

  In the step (iii), a rod-shaped object (for example, a rod whose thickness substantially matches the size of the through hole C101 and the through hole E21d) is provided in both the through hole C101 and the through hole E21d. Insert. Thereby, the relative position of the crank gear E21 and the right side plate C2 is fixed. Therefore, even if a force for rotating the crank gear E21 is applied, the crank gear E21 cannot move with respect to the right side plate C2 due to the presence of the rod-like object, thereby preventing a positional shift. .

  Note that the method of fixing the crank gear E21 is not limited to the above-described method. For example, the crank gear E21 is not moved by the rotation of the crank gear E21 but the other member such as the right movable body base C5 instead of the right side plate C2. A through hole C101 may be formed in a member whose position does not change regardless of the operation of the gear E21, and the crank gear E21 may be fixed by the same method as described above. Further, by inserting an outlet-shaped (U-shaped or U-shaped) object through both the mark portion E21c formed on the crank gear E21 and the mark portion E23a formed on the intermediate gear E23, the crank gear E21 is inserted. It is good also as fixing. In this case, the through hole C101 may not be formed in the member such as the right side plate C2.

  Further, the center O21 of the crank gear E21, the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23, the mark E21c formed on the crank gear E21, and the mark E23a formed on the intermediate gear E23 are arranged on the right side plate C2 without being aligned. The position of the crank gear E21 may be adjusted so that the formed through hole C101 and the through hole E21d formed in the crank gear E21 overlap. However, as described above, the through hole C101 formed in the right side plate C2 and the through hole E21d formed in the crank gear E21 are quite small, and even if the crank gear E21 is rotated in the dark clouds, both the holes are quite heavy. It may not be possible. Further, it may be difficult to visually confirm whether or not these holes overlap. In this regard, in this embodiment, the center O21 of the crank gear E21, the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23, the mark portion E21c formed on the crank gear E21, and the mark portion E23a formed on the intermediate gear E23 are aligned. Therefore, since the through hole C101 and the through hole E21d automatically overlap each other, the alignment can be easily performed.

  In the above, the positioning of the crank gear E21 of the right front screen drive mechanism E2B has been described. However, the crank gear E21 and the intermediate gear E23 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A and the left side plate C3 are also respectively right front screen drive mechanism E2B. The crank gear E21 and the intermediate gear E23 and the right side plate C2 (see FIGS. 184 to 188) have the same configuration, and the alignment of the crank gear E21 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A is also the above (ii). And it can carry out by going through the process similar to (iii).

  Thus, in both the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the left front screen drive mechanism E2A, the slide member E26 provided on the crank gear E21 ((ii) and (iii) above) fixed in the state of ∠EOX = α. Can be engaged with the slide groove E22b formed in the crank member E22 in the exposed posture (above (iv)) (above (v)). As a result, the slide member E26 comes into contact with the upper end surface of the slide groove E22b (see FIG. 60).

  With this state as an initial state, the slide member E26 slides in the slide groove E22b as designed by operating the front screen drive mechanism E2 so that the EOX changes from α to β. Thus, the front screen mechanism E1 connected to the crank member E22 can be appropriately rotated from the front exposure position to the front standby position.

  By passing through the process demonstrated above, the front screen mechanism E1 and the front screen drive mechanism E2 can be assembled in the state (exposure posture) in the case where the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position.

  And the completed product of the display unit A can be obtained by connecting the front screen mechanism E1 and the front screen drive mechanism E2 with other mechanisms. In the display unit A thus obtained, the front screen mechanism E1 and the front screen drive mechanism E2 are in the exposed posture, and the display unit A is transported in that state.

  Here, as described above, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposed position, a straight line connecting the rotation center position (gear shaft E21a, center O21) of the crank gear E21 and the eccentric position E21b, and the crank member The straight line connecting the rotation center position (intermediate position E22a) of E22 and the eccentric position E21b of the crank gear E21 is orthogonal (FIG. 60, and the characteristic (2-1) of the gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, and (See (2-2)).

  As a result, even if a force is applied to the slide member E26 due to shaking or the like during transportation, the force is not converted into a force for rotating the crank gear E21, and the crank member E22 and the crank gear E21 are strong brakes. Therefore, the front screen mechanism E1 does not move. As a result, it is possible to prevent the display unit A from being damaged due to the movement of the front screen mechanism E1 during transportation.

  However, when assembling the front screen mechanism E1 and the front screen drive mechanism E2, the front screen mechanism E1 is not in the state when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position (exposure posture), but at the front standby position. It is good also as assembling | attaching the crank gear E21 and the crank member E22 in the state (standby attitude | position) in the case of arrange | positioning.

  In this case, when the crank gear E21 is arranged so that the angle ∠EOX described with reference to FIG. 189 becomes β, the center O21 of the crank gear E21, the center O23 of the intermediate gear E23, and the crank gear E21 The position where the mark portion E21c is formed in the crank gear E21 may be changed so that the formed mark portion E21c and the mark portion E23a formed on the intermediate gear E23 are aligned. Further, when the crank gear E21 is arranged so that the rod EOX becomes β, the crank gear is formed so that the through hole C101 formed in the right side plate C2 and the through hole E21d formed in the crank gear E21 overlap. What is necessary is just to change the position which forms the through-hole E21d in E21.

  Thus, the front screen mechanism E1 and the front screen drive mechanism E2 can be assembled in any posture including the exposure posture and the standby posture by appropriately changing the formation positions of the mark portion E21c and the through hole E21d.

<Reel screen mechanism F1>
FIG. 194 is a perspective view of the reel screen mechanism when it is disposed at the reel standby position. FIG. 195 is a perspective view of the reel screen mechanism when it is disposed at the reel exposure position.

  As shown in FIGS. 194 and 195, the reel screen mechanism F <b> 1 has an arcuate shape in a side view curved in a shape approximating the rotation direction (see FIG. 52). On the surface of the reel screen mechanism F1, a pattern is formed on the peripheral edge, and an inner peripheral area of the peripheral edge is a projection surface F1a. The projection surface F1a is an arcuate surface that protrudes upstream in the irradiation direction of light from the projector mechanism B2 when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position (see FIG. 53). Further, a pattern is formed on the back surface that is the rotation center side in the reel screen mechanism F1. This back surface pattern is made visible to the player in front when the reel screen mechanism F1 is positioned at the reel standby position (see FIG. 53).

<Reel screen drive mechanism F2>
The reel screen mechanism F1 is rotatable between the reel standby position and the reel exposure position by the driving force of the reel screen drive mechanism F2. When the reel screen mechanism F1 is positioned at the reel exposure position, the projection surface F1a can appear an image by irradiation of irradiation light.

  FIG. 196 is a perspective view of the reel screen mechanism, the reel screen drive mechanism, and the movable body base. FIG. 197 is a perspective view of the reel screen mechanism and the reel screen drive mechanism.

  As shown in FIGS. 196 and 197, the reel screen drive mechanism F2 includes two arm members F21 and F21, an arcuate gear F22, a motor shaft gear F23, and a drive motor F24. One end of each of the two arm members F21 and F21 is connected to the back surface of the right end portion and the back surface of the left end portion of the reel screen mechanism F1. Further, support shafts F21a and F21a projecting outward in the left-right direction are formed on the outer surfaces of the other end portions of the two arm members F21 and F21. The support shafts F21a and F21a are rotatably supported by the right movable body base C5 and the left movable body base C6, respectively. Thereby, the two arm members F21 can be rotated about the support shafts F21a and F21a as the rotation center. These support shafts F21a and F21a coincide with the rotation center axis RG (see FIG. 53) of the reel screen mechanism F1.

  The arcuate gear F22 is fixed to the tip of the support shaft F21a. A motor shaft gear F23 is meshed with the arcuate gear F22. The motor shaft gear F23 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor F24.

  When the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position, the arm member F21 connected to the reel screen mechanism F1 and the movable body bases C5 and C6 are substantially in contact with each other. FIG. 198 shows this state.

  Hereinafter, the positional relationship between the arm member F21 and the movable body bases C5 and C6 will be described in detail with reference to the structure of the arm member F21 and the structures of the movable body bases C5 and C6. Since the left movable body base C6 has the same structure as the right movable body base C5, the description of the left movable body base C6 is omitted.

  FIG. 199 is a right side view of the reel screen mechanism and the arm member. FIG. 200 is a bottom view of the reel screen mechanism and the arm member. FIG. 201 is a perspective view of the reel screen mechanism and the arm member as viewed from below.

Part F200 is formed. The lower end F200 has a rectangular shape in bottom view. Out of the four sides constituting the rectangle, the outer (right) long side coincides with the lower side of the sector in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 201, the lower end portion F200 has a planar lower end surface F200a and a protrusion F200b formed to protrude downward at a part of the outer edge of the lower end portion F200.

  The protrusion F200b has a triangular shape in a side view (see FIG. 199), and the apex portion of the triangle is formed in a slightly rounded curved shape (see FIG. 201).

  FIG. 202 is a perspective view of the right movable body base. 203 is a diagram showing a state where the positions of the arm member and the movable body base shown in FIG. 198 are slightly shifted in the vertical direction. FIG. 204 is a top view of the vicinity of the reference surface in the movable body base. 205 is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow FF of the movable body base shown in FIG. 204. FIG. 206 is a view of the shock-absorbing member installation portion as viewed from the right side. 207 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the buffer member is installed in the buffer member installation unit illustrated in FIG. 206. FIG. 208 is a diagram showing a state in which the arm member and the buffer member are in contact with each other in the cross section along the arrow GG of the movable body base shown in FIG. 204.

  As shown in FIG. 202, the right movable body base C5 includes an upper side wall portion C81 and a lower side wall portion C91. A third support portion C51 and a fourth support portion C61 are formed on the upper side wall portion C81. A fifth support C71 is formed on the lower side wall C91. The third support part C51 rotatably supports the crank member E22 connected to the front screen mechanism E1. The fourth support portion C61 rotatably supports the support shaft F21a of the arm member F21 connected to the reel screen mechanism F1. The fifth support C71 rotatably supports a shaft member E3 that is a gear shaft of the intermediate gear E23 of the front screen drive mechanism E2.

  The upper wall portion C81 and the lower wall portion C91 have a plane formed in a planar shape. The surface formed on the upper side wall portion C81 and the surface formed on the lower side wall portion C91 are formed so as to be displaced in the left-right direction when viewed from the front.

  The right movable body base C5 has a reference plane C200 formed substantially horizontally. The right end of the reference surface C200 is continuous with the lower end of the surface formed on the upper side wall portion C81, and the left end of the reference surface C200 is continuous with the upper end of the surface formed on the lower side wall portion C91.

  Moreover, the right movable body base C5 has a buffer member installation part C201. The buffer member installation portion C201 is formed continuously with the reference surface C200, and has a recessed shape with respect to the reference surface C200.

  When the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position (see FIG. 198), the lower end surface F200a of the arm member F21 and the reference surface C200 are substantially in contact with each other, and the protrusion F200b of the arm member F21 is formed as the buffer member installation portion C201. It will be stored in the recessed part (refer FIG. 203).

  As shown in FIG. 204, the reference surface C200 and the buffer member installation portion C201 of the right movable body base C5 form a rectangular shape when viewed from above. The reference surface C200 has a horizontal surface C200a formed from the vicinity of the rear end of the buffer member installation portion C201 to the rear, and a rough surface C200b formed in front of the horizontal surface 200a. The rough surface C200b is a rough surface having some unevenness as compared with the horizontal surface 200a.

  In addition, the short side (the length in the left-right direction) of the rectangle (the reference plane C200 of the right movable body base C5) in FIG. 204 is the short side (the length in the left-right direction) of the rectangle (the lower end portion F200 of the arm member F21) in FIG. Is longer than As a result, when the arm member F21 and the right movable body base C5 are substantially in contact with each other (see FIG. 198), the left side portion of the reference plane C200 is not covered with the lower end face F200a and is exposed.

  In FIG. 206, the back surface of the upper side wall part C81 shown in FIG. 205 is shown. That is, FIG. 206 is a diagram showing the state when the upper side wall portion C81 is viewed from the side (right side) opposite to the side where the reference plane C200 is formed, with the buffer member installation portion C201 as the center.

  As shown in FIG. 206, an opening is formed on the back surface of the upper side wall portion C81. The buffer member installation portion C201 is formed by communication between a recess with respect to the reference plane C200 and the opening, and has a box shape with an upper surface and a right surface opened. In addition, although the opening C92 (refer FIG. 202) is formed also in the lower wall part C91, the said opening is not connected with the buffer member installation part C201.

  The buffer member installation portion C201 includes a bottom surface portion C201a constituting the bottom surface of the box, a front end portion C201b formed continuously from the front end of the bottom surface portion C201a toward the upper side in the vertical direction, and from the left end of the front end portion 201b toward the rear. The side wall C201c formed continuously and the rear end C201d which is continuous with the side wall C201c and forms the rear end of the box. The rear end portion C201d includes a front portion formed continuously from the rear end of the bottom surface portion C201a toward the upper side in the vertical direction, a rear portion formed with an inclination at the rear, a front portion and a rear portion. And a connecting portion for connecting in a curved shape.

  As shown in FIG. 207, a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped buffer member C202 is placed on the bottom surface portion C201a of the buffer member installation portion C201. The buffer member C202 is made of a gel material (silicone gel) made mainly of silicone having shock absorbing ability and vibration proof performance. As the silicone gel, for example, α gel (registered trademark) manufactured by Taika Corporation can be used. The material of the buffer member C202 is not particularly limited, and in addition to silicone gel, flexible organic silicon compounds such as silicone grease, silicone rubber, and silicone resin, and flexible organic fluorine compounds such as fluorine resin. Can be adopted as appropriate.

  FIG. 208 shows a state of the buffer member installation portion C201 when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position (state of FIG. 198). As shown in FIG. 208, the projection F200b of the arm member F21 is housed in a recess formed as the buffer member installation portion C201. And the front-end | tip of protrusion F200b is contact | abutting on the surface of the buffer member C202. Although not shown in the figure, the surface of the buffer member C202 is pressed by the tip of the protrusion F200b and has a depressed shape.

  The lower end surface F200a of the arm member F21 is substantially in contact with the reference surface C200 (horizontal surface C200a and rough surface C200b) of the right movable body base C5. However, there are slight gaps between the lower end surface F200a and the horizontal plane C200a, and between the lower end surface F200a and the rough surface C200b, and the lower end surface F200a and the reference plane C200 are strictly Are not in contact. The arm member F21 is in a state of being supported by the right movable body base C5 via the buffer member C202.

  As described above, when the reel screen mechanism F1 starts to rotate from the reel exposure position and reaches the reel standby position, the protrusion F200b of the arm member F21 contacts the surface of the buffer member C202. Thereby, the rotation of the arm member F21 can be smoothly stopped while the shock accompanying the contact is absorbed by the buffer member C202. As a result, the arm member F21 and the movable body base C5 are not in direct contact with a large impact, and the arm member F21, the movable body base C5, the reel screen mechanism F1, and the like are prevented from being damaged by the impact. be able to.

FIG. 221 is a diagram illustrating a state where the buffer member and the buffer member cover are installed in a cross section taken along the arrow II of the bottom plate illustrated in FIG. 215.

  As shown in FIG. 212, two buffer member installation portions C300 are formed on the bottom plate C1 slightly ahead of the two apex portions on the front side of the trapezoidal central mounting portion C11. The buffer member installation part C300 has a concave shape with respect to the surrounding reference plane C301.

  When the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposed position (see FIG. 209), the lower end surface E300a of the front screen support base E12 and the reference surface C301 are substantially in contact with each other, and the protrusion E300b of the front screen support base E12 is provided with a buffer member. It is housed in a recess formed as part C300 (see FIG. 213).

  The distance in the left-right direction of the two protrusions E300b is set to be substantially the same as the distance in the left-right direction of the two buffer member installation portions C300, and the right protrusion E300b is the right buffer member installation portion C300. The left protrusion E300b is stored in the left buffer member installation portion C300.

  As shown in FIG. 214, the recess formed as the buffer member installation portion C300 is formed by an opening formed on the surface of the bottom plate C1 penetrating to the back surface of the bottom plate C1. For easy understanding, in FIG. 214, the opening formed on the surface of the bottom plate C1 is indicated by hatching.

  As shown in FIG. 216, the cushioning member installation portion C300 includes a front wall portion C300a and a rear wall portion C300b formed downward from the front end and the rear end of the opening formed on the surface of the bottom plate C1, respectively. The buffer member cover mounting portion C300c formed continuously from the lower end of the front wall portion C300a toward the rear side in the horizontal direction, and formed continuously from the lower end of the rear wall portion C300b toward the front side in the horizontal direction. A buffer member cover mounting portion C300d. The buffer member cover mounting portion C300c and the buffer member cover mounting portion C300d are not continuous and have a divided shape.

  A part of the lower surface of the buffer member cover C310 shown in FIG. 218 is in contact with the buffer member cover mounting portion C300c and the buffer member cover mounting portion C300d. The buffer member cover C310 is provided with a screw hole C312. By screwing a screw through the screw insertion hole C302 (see FIG. 212) of the bottom plate C1 into the screw hole C312, the buffer member cover C310 is attached to the bottom plate C1. (See FIG. 217).

  As shown in FIG. 219, a rectangular parallelepiped buffer member C320 is mounted on the buffer member mounting surface C311 (see FIG. 218) of the buffer member cover C310. The buffer member C320 is made of a gel material (silicone gel) made mainly of silicone having shock absorbing ability and vibration proof performance. As the material of the buffer member C320, the same material as the buffer member C202 (see FIG. 207) described above can be used.

  220 shows a state of the buffer member installation portion C300 when the front screen mechanism E1 is arranged at the front exposure position (state of FIG. 209). As shown in FIG. 220, the projection E300b of the front screen support base E12 is housed in a recess formed as a buffer member installation portion C300. And the front-end | tip of protrusion E300b is contact | abutting on the surface of the buffer member C320. Although not shown in the drawing, the surface of the buffer member C320 is pressed by the tip of the protrusion E300b and has a depressed shape.

  Although not shown, the lower end surface E300a of the front screen support base E12 is substantially in contact with the reference surface C301 of the bottom plate C1. However, there is a slight gap between the lower end surface E300a and the reference surface C301, and the lower end surface E300a and the reference surface C301 are not strictly in contact with each other. The front screen mechanism E1 is supported by the bottom plate C1 via the buffer member C320.

  As described above, when the front screen mechanism E1 starts rotating from the front standby position and reaches the front exposure position, the protrusion E300b of the front screen support E12 comes into contact with the surface of the buffer member C320. Thereby, the rotation of the front screen mechanism E1 can be smoothly stopped while absorbing the shock accompanying the contact by the buffer member C320. As a result, the front screen support E12 and the bottom plate C1 are not in direct contact with a large impact, and the front screen mechanism E1, the bottom plate C1, and the like can be prevented from being damaged by the impact.

  As shown in FIG. 221, the length in the left-right direction of the opening formed on the surface of the bottom plate C1 is shorter than the length in the left-right direction of the buffer member C320. That is, the opening formed on the surface of the bottom plate C1 is smaller than the size of the buffer member C320. If a large opening is formed on the surface of the bottom plate C1, the buffer member provided in the opening (buffer member installation portion) and the protrusions stored therein may be visually recognized by the player. is there. In the present embodiment, by providing a buffer member in a cavity portion larger than the opening formed on the surface of the bottom plate C1, it is possible to prevent such a situation from occurring and maintain the beauty of the gaming machine. .

  As described above, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposed position, the lower end surface E300a of the front screen support E12 substantially contacts the reference surface C301 of the bottom plate C1, and the front screen mechanism E1 It is supported on the bottom plate C1 via the member C320.

  On the other hand, although not shown, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is arranged at the reel exposure position, the reel screen mechanism F1 is separated from the reference plane C301 of the bottom plate C1. Therefore, when the reel screen mechanism F1 rotates from the reel standby position to the reel exposure position, the reel screen mechanism F1 does not come into contact with the bottom plate C1, so that it is not necessary to absorb the impact associated with the contact. Accordingly, no protrusion is formed on the lower end portion of the reel screen mechanism F1, and no buffer member is provided to contact the protrusion.

<Rotation restriction of front screen mechanism E1 and reel screen mechanism F1>
As described above, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position, the front screen mechanism E1 covers the fixed screen mechanism D from the front, and an image is displayed on the front screen mechanism E1. (See FIG. 51). In this case, the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position. On the other hand, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position, the reel screen mechanism F1 covers the fixed screen mechanism D from the front, and an image is displayed on the reel screen mechanism F1 (FIG. 52). reference). In this case, the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position.

  As described with reference to FIG. 53, the front exposure position is within the operation range of the reel screen mechanism F1. Accordingly, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position, if the reel screen mechanism F1 is moved from the reel standby position to the reel exposure position, the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 come into contact with each other. become. Further, the reel exposure position is within the operation range of the front screen mechanism E1. Therefore, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position, if the front screen mechanism E1 is moved from the front standby position to the front exposure position, the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 come into contact with each other. become.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as in the third embodiment, the sensor mechanism CS (sensors CS1 to CS3) is connected to the sub control circuit 1070 (see FIG. 147), and the sub CPU 1071 outputs from the sensors CS1 to CS3. Based on the received signals, the positions of the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 are appropriately managed.

  Then, the sub CPU 1071 executes the rotation operation of the front screen mechanism E1 on the condition that the reel screen mechanism F1 exists at the reel standby position, and on the condition that the front screen mechanism E1 exists on the front standby position. The rotation operation of the reel screen mechanism F1 is executed. Thus, the screen mechanisms are prevented from interfering with each other.

  However, due to external vibration or impact, the force that moves the reel screen mechanism F1 from the reel standby position toward the reel exposure position, or the force that moves the front screen mechanism E1 from the front standby position toward the front exposure position. May be added.

  As shown in FIG. 53, when the front screen mechanism E1 is arranged at the front standby position, the center of gravity of the front screen mechanism E1 is above the rotation center axis FG of the front screen mechanism E1. Further, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position, the connecting portion between the front screen mechanism E1 and the crank member E22 is disposed behind the front screen mechanism E1, and the center of gravity of the front screen mechanism E1 is The front screen mechanism E1 exists in front of the rotation center axis FG. Accordingly, the gravity acting on the center of gravity of the front screen mechanism E1 acts in a direction to move the front screen mechanism E1 from the front standby position toward the front exposure position.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described below, a crank member E22 (see FIG. 183) that is a component of the front screen drive mechanism E2 and an arcuate gear F22 (FIG. 197) that is a component of the reel screen drive mechanism F2. (See)). Thus, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposed position, the reel screen mechanism F1 is restricted from moving from the reel standby position to the reel exposed position, and the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposed position. The front screen mechanism E1 is restricted from moving from the front standby position to the front exposure position.

  222 is a right side view of the arcuate gear shown in FIG. 197. FIG. FIG. 223 is a perspective view of the arcuate gear shown in FIG. 222. Note that FIG. 222 coincides with a view seen from the direction of the rotation axis of the arcuate gear F22, and this direction coincides with a direction perpendicular to the surface of the arcuate gear F22.

As shown in FIGS. 222 and 223, the arc-shaped gear F22 is formed with a reel-side restricted portion F400. The reel-side regulated portion F400 is formed at a reel-side regulated position (a position indicated by a point F400a in FIG. 222) that is shifted from the center O22 of the arcuate gear F22. In the figure, it represents the center O22 of the arcuate gear F22 the distance to the reel side the restricted position F400a in _{R 1.}

  As shown in FIG. 223, the reel-side regulated portion F400 is provided so as to protrude from the reel-side regulated position F400a in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the arcuate gear F22. The reel-side restricted portion F400 is formed so that the shape in a side view is circular (or elliptical, square, hexagonal, etc.). The size (diameter) in the side view is shorter than the length of the portion protruding from the surface of the arcuate gear F22 (the distance from the surface of the arcuate gear F22 to the tip of the reel-side restricted portion F400). ing.

Further, the arc-shaped gear F22 is formed with a reel side restricting portion F401. For the sake of clarity, in FIG. 222, the reel-side regulating portion F401 is indicated by diagonal lines. The reel side restricting portion F401 has a shape that forms an arc corresponding to a circle centered on the center O22 of the arcuate gear F22. In the figure, it represents the radius of the circle r _1. The circumferential angle with respect to the arc is about 150 ° to 160 °.

  As shown in FIG. 223, the reel side regulating portion F401 is provided so as to protrude in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the arcuate gear F22. In addition to the reel-side regulating portion F401, the arcuate gear F22 has a structure projecting from the surface (a projecting structure formed on a concentric circle centered on the center O22, and a projecting structure formed radially from the center O22). However, the length of the portion where the reel side regulating portion F401 protrudes from the surface of the arcuate gear F22 is longer than that of other protruding structures.

  FIG. 224 is a left side view of the crank member of the right front screen drive mechanism. FIG. 225 is a perspective view of the crank member shown in FIG. 224. In these drawings, the surface of the crank member E22 on the side opposite to the side where the slide groove E22b (see FIG. 181) is formed is shown. In addition, FIG. 224 corresponds with the figure seen from the direction of the rotating shaft of the crank member E22, and the said direction corresponds with the direction perpendicular | vertical with respect to the surface of the crank member E22.

As shown in FIGS. 224 and 225, the crank member E22 is formed with a front side regulating portion E400. In order to make it easy to understand, in FIG. 224, the front side regulating portion E400 is indicated by hatching. The front side restricting portion E400 has a shape that forms an arc corresponding to a circle centered on the rotation center E22a of the crank member E22 (intermediate position E22a shown in FIG. 181). In the figure, it represents the radius of the circle r _2. The circumferential angle with respect to the arc is about 90 ° to 100 °.

  As shown in FIG. 225, the front side regulating portion E400 is provided so as to protrude in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the crank member E22.

The crank member E22 is formed with a front side restricted portion E401. The front-side regulated portion E401 is formed at a front-side regulated position (a position indicated by a point E401a in FIG. 224) that is shifted from the rotation center E22a of the crank member E22. In the figure, it represents the distance from the rotation center E22a of the crank member E22 up front the restricted position E401a at _{R 2.} The front-side regulated position E401a corresponds to the position where the slide groove E22b is formed on the opposite surface of the crank member E22.

  The front side restricted portion E401 is formed so that the shape in the side view is a circle (or an ellipse, a rectangle, a hexagon, etc.). The size (diameter) of the front side restricted portion E401 in a side view is set to be smaller (for example, about 1/6 to 1/4) than the width of the slide groove E22b.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 225, the front side restricted portion E401 is provided so as to protrude from the front side restricted position E401a in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the crank member E22.

  As described above, the reel-side restricted portion F400 and the reel-side restricted portion F401 are provided so as to protrude in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the arcuate gear F22 (see FIG. 223). Further, the front side regulating portion E400 and the front side regulated portion E401 are provided so as to protrude in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the crank member E22 (see FIG. 225).

  The arcuate gear F22 and the crank member E22 are arranged so that the surface of the arcuate gear F22 and the surface of the crank member E22 are substantially parallel (the direction of the rotation axis of the arcuate gear F22 and the crank member). The direction of the rotation axis of E22 coincides).

  The length of the portion where the reel-side restricted portion F400 protrudes from the surface of the arcuate gear F22 (the protruding length of the reel-side restricted portion F400), and the reel-side restricted portion F401 on the surface of the arcuate gear F22. The length of the protruding portion (the protruding length of the reel-side regulating portion F401), the length of the portion of the front-side regulating portion E400 protruding from the surface of the crank member E22 (the protruding length of the front-side regulating portion E400) ), And the length of the portion where the front-side restricted portion E401 protrudes from the surface of the crank member E22 (the protruding length of the front-side restricted portion E401) is the surface of the arcuate gear F22 and the crank member, respectively. It is shorter than the distance from the surface of E22.

  On the other hand, the total of the protruding length of the reel-side restricted portion F400 and the protruding length of the front-side restricted portion E400, and the total of the protruding length of the reel-side restricted portion F401 and the protruding length of the front-side restricted portion E401 are: Each of them is longer than the distance between the surface of the arcuate gear F22 and the surface of the crank member E22.

  Therefore, when the reel-side restricted portion F400 is rotated along with the rotation of the arcuate gear F22, if the front-side restricting portion E400 exists in the middle of the rotation, the presence of the front-side restricting portion E400 is obstructive. Thus, the reel-side restricted portion F400 cannot rotate any further. As a result, the arcuate gear F22 cannot be rotated, and as a result, the rotation of the reel screen mechanism F1 is restricted.

  Similarly, when the front side restricted portion E401 is rotated along with the rotation of the crank member E22, if the reel side restricting portion F401 exists in the course of rotation, the presence of the reel side restricting portion F401 is an obstacle. (Locked to the reel-side regulating portion F401), the front-side regulated portion E401 cannot rotate any further. As a result, the crank member E22 cannot also rotate, and as a result, the rotation of the front screen mechanism E1 is restricted.

  Hereinafter, it will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 226 to 229. FIG. 226 is a cross-sectional perspective view of the screen device when the front screen mechanism is disposed at the front exposure position and the reel screen mechanism is disposed at the reel standby position. FIG. 227 is a right side view of the cross section of the arc-shaped gear and the crank member when the front screen mechanism is disposed at the front exposed position and the reel screen mechanism is disposed at the reel standby position. FIG. 228 is a perspective view of a cross section of the screen device when the reel screen mechanism is disposed at the reel exposure position and the front screen mechanism is disposed at the front standby position. FIG. 229 is a right side view of the cross section of the arc-shaped gear and the crank member when the reel screen mechanism is disposed at the reel exposure position and the front screen mechanism is disposed at the front standby position.

  226 and 227 are surfaces parallel to the surface of the arcuate gear F22 and the surface of the crank member E22, and the distance from the surface of the arcuate gear F22 is the protrusion length of the reel-side restricted portion F400. It is sectional drawing when it cut | disconnects in a surface shorter than the surface of the crank member E22 from which it is shorter than the protrusion length of the front side control part E400. 228 and 229 are surfaces parallel to the surface of the arcuate gear F22 and the surface of the crank member E22, and the distance from the surface of the arcuate gear F22 is shorter than the protruding length of the reel-side regulating portion F401. It is sectional drawing when cut | disconnecting in the surface where the distance from the surface of the member E22 becomes shorter than the protrusion length of the front side controlled part E401.

  For easy understanding, in FIG. 226 and FIG. 227, the front side restricting portion E400 is indicated by hatching, and in FIG. 228 and FIG. 226 to 229 show the crank member E22, which is the crank member E22 of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A, and the crank member E22 of the right front screen drive mechanism E2B is (front It is not shown in the drawing (except for the side regulating portion E400 and the front side regulated portion E401).

  When the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position and the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position, the reel-side regulated portion F400 and the front-side regulating portion E400 are as shown in FIGS. 226 and 227. Placed in.

In this state, it is assumed that a force is applied to move the reel screen mechanism F1 from the reel standby position toward the reel exposure position. At that time, the reel-side restricted portion F400 attempts to start rotating counterclockwise from the position shown in FIGS. 226 and 227. The movement direction of the reel-side restricted portion F400 at the start of rotation is centered on the center O22 of the arcuate gear F22, and the distance between the center O22 and the position where the reel-side restricted portion F400 exists (reel-side restricted position F400a). A circle having a radius of (R _{1 in} FIG. 222) is a counterclockwise direction (a direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 227) along a tangent to the reel-side restricted position F400a. However, as shown in FIGS. 226 and 227, the front side regulating portion E400 is disposed so as to be close to (substantially abut) the reel side regulated portion F400 on the moving direction side of the reel side regulated portion F400. . The front side restricting portion E400 is disposed so as to intersect the moving direction (the tangent line) of the reel side restricted portion F400 (so as to obstruct the course of the reel side restricted portion F400). Even if F400 continues to rotate, it is locked by the front-side restricting portion E400, and the reel-side restricted portion F400 cannot pass the position where the front-side restricting portion E400 exists, and does not rotate at that position. Will stop. As a result, the arcuate gear F22 cannot rotate any more, and as a result, the reel screen mechanism F1 also does not rotate, and the positional relationship between the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 is maintained. become.

The above contents can be paraphrased as follows. That is, when the arcuate gear F22 is rotated to drive the reel screen mechanism F1, the reel-side restricted portion F400 is centered on the center O22 of the arcuate gear F22, and the center O22 and the reel-side restricted position F400a. It rotates on the circumference of a circle whose radius is the distance (R _{1 in} FIG. 222). The locus drawn by the reel-side restricted portion F400 when the reel screen mechanism F1 rotates from the reel standby position to the reel exposure position is a part (arc) of the circumference. In the present embodiment, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position, the front-side restricting portion E400 is disposed so as to intersect the arc, so that the reel-side restricted portion F400 is located on the arc. The front side restricting portion E400 exists in the middle of turning. Therefore, the front side restricting portion E400 becomes a barrier that blocks the path of the reel side restricted portion F400, and the reel side restricted portion F400 is prevented from further turning (the front side restricting portion E400 prevents a hand from going). . Thereby, even if a force for moving the reel screen mechanism F1 from the reel standby position toward the reel exposure position is applied, the reel screen mechanism F1 can be prevented from moving to the reel exposure position.

  When the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position and the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position (in the case of FIGS. 226 and 227), the reel screen mechanism F1 is kept near the reel standby position. From this point of view, it is preferable that the reel-side regulated portion F400 and the front-side regulated portion E400 be as close as possible. For example, the gap between the reel-side restricted portion F400 and the front-side restricted portion E400 is not more than twice the diameter (circle diameter) of the reel-side restricted portion F400, not more than the diameter of the reel-side restricted portion F400, or the reel It may be designed to be 2/3 or less (or 1/2 or less, 1/3 or less, 1/4 or less, etc.) of the diameter of the side restricted portion F400.

As described in detail in the second embodiment, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position, the front screen mechanism E1 can be rotated from the front exposure position to the front standby position. In this regard, as described with reference to FIG. 224, the front-side regulating unit E400 corresponds to the circle centered on the rotation center E22a of the crank member E22 (circle the _{r 2} shown in FIG. 224 and radius) It has a shape that forms an arc. Therefore, when the front screen mechanism E1 is rotated from the front exposure position to the front standby position, the front side restricting portion E400 rotates clockwise on the circumference from the position shown in FIG. At that time, the reel-side the restricted portion F400 is remains in the position shown in FIG. 227 (distance that is shorter than the radius r ₂ of the circular position of the rotation center E22a of the crank member E22), the front side There is no obstacle to the path of the restriction unit E400. Therefore, the front side regulating portion E400 is not locked by the reel side regulated portion F400, and the front screen mechanism E1 can be rotated from the front exposed position to the front standby position without any problem.

  In this way, when the front screen mechanism E1 is rotated from the front exposed position to the front standby position, the reel-side restricted portion F400 does not obstruct the path of the front-side restricted portion E400. When the mechanism E1 is disposed at the front exposure position and the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position (in the case of FIGS. 226 and 227), the reel-side regulated portion F400 and the front-side regulating portion E400 are brought into contact with each other. It is better not to make contact but to be separated to some extent (if the reel-side restricted portion F400 and the front-side restricting portion E400 are in contact, when the front-side restricting portion E400 moves, the front-side restricting portion E400 and the reel side Friction occurs due to contact with the regulated part F400, and smooth rotation may not be possible. There is a gender). For example, the gap between the reel-side restricted portion F400 and the front-side restricted portion E400 is 1/20 or more (or 1/10 or more, 1/5 or more) of the diameter (circle diameter) of the reel-side restricted portion F400. (1/3 or more, 1/2 or more, 2/3 or more, or the like), or the diameter of the reel-side restricted portion F400 may be designed.

  When the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position and the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position, the front side restricted portion E401 and the reel side restriction portion F401 are as shown in FIGS. 228 and 229. Placed in.

In this state, it is assumed that a force for moving the front screen mechanism E1 from the front standby position toward the front exposure position is applied. At this time, the front-side regulated portion E401 tries to start rotating counterclockwise from the position shown in FIGS. 228 and 229. The movement direction of the front-side restricted portion E401 at the start of rotation is centered on the rotation center E22a of the crank member E22, and the position of the rotation center E22a and the front-side restricted portion E401 (front-side restricted position E401a). Is a counterclockwise direction (a direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 229) along a tangent line at a front-side regulated position E401a of a circle having a radius of R _{2 in} FIG. 224 (R _{2 in} FIG. 224). However, as shown in FIGS. 228 and 229, the reel-side regulating portion F401 is arranged so as to be close to (substantially abut) the front-side regulated portion E401 on the moving direction side of the front-side regulated portion E401. . The reel side restricting portion F401 is arranged so as to intersect the moving direction (the tangent line) of the front side restricted portion E401 (so as to obstruct the course of the front side restricted portion E401). Even if E401 continues to rotate, it is locked by the reel-side restricting portion F401, and the front-side restricted portion E401 cannot pass through the position where the reel-side restricting portion F401 exists, and does not rotate at that position. Will stop. As a result, the crank member E22 cannot rotate any more, and as a result, the front screen mechanism E1 also does not rotate, and the positional relationship between the front screen mechanism E1 and the reel screen mechanism F1 is maintained. Become.

The above contents can be paraphrased as follows. That is, when the crank member E22 rotates to drive the front screen mechanism E1, the front side restricted portion E401 is centered on the rotation center E22a of the crank member E22, and the rotation center E22a and the front side restricted position E401a. Is rotated on the circumference of a circle whose radius is the distance (R _{2 in} FIG. 224). When the front screen mechanism E1 rotates from the front standby position to the front exposure position, the trajectory drawn by the front side restricted portion E401 becomes a part (arc) of the circumference. In the present embodiment, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position, the reel-side restricting portion F401 is disposed so as to intersect the arc, so that the front-side regulated portion E401 is located on the arc. The reel side restricting portion F401 exists in the middle of turning. For this reason, the reel-side regulating portion F401 becomes a barrier that blocks the path of the front-side regulated portion E401, and the front-side regulated portion E401 is prevented from further turning (the reel-side regulating portion F401 is prevented from going by). . Thereby, even if a force for moving the front screen mechanism E1 from the front standby position toward the front exposure position is applied, the front screen mechanism E1 can be prevented from moving to the front exposure position.

  When the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position and the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position (in the case of FIGS. 228 and 229), the front screen mechanism E1 is kept near the front standby position. From this point of view, it is preferable that the front-side regulated portion E401 and the reel-side regulated portion F401 are as close as possible. For example, the gap between the front-side restricted portion E401 and the reel-side restricted portion F401 is not more than twice the diameter (circle diameter) of the front-side restricted portion E401, not more than the diameter of the front-side restricted portion E401, or the front It may be designed to be 2/3 or less (or 1/2 or less, 1/3 or less, 1/4 or less, etc.) of the diameter of the side restricted portion E401.

As described in detail in the second embodiment, when the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position, the reel screen mechanism F1 can be rotated from the reel exposure position to the reel standby position. Arc In this regard, as described with reference to FIG. 222, the reel-side restricting portion F401 is corresponding to circle around the center O22 of the arcuate gear F22 (circle the r ₁ shown in FIG. 222 and radius) It has a shape to form. Therefore, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is rotated from the reel exposure position to the reel standby position, the reel-side restricting portion F401 rotates clockwise on the circumference from the position shown in FIG. At that time, the front side the restricted portion E401 is remains in the position shown in FIG. 229 (distance that is shorter than the radius r ₁ of the circle position from the center O22 of the arcuate gear F22), the reel-side regulating The course of the part F401 is not obstructed. Therefore, the reel-side regulating portion F401 is not locked by the front-side regulated portion E401, and the reel screen mechanism F1 can be rotated without any problem from the reel exposure position to the reel standby position.

  As described above, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is rotated from the reel exposure position to the reel standby position, the reel screen mechanism F401 is prevented from obstructing the path of the reel side restriction portion F401. When the mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel exposure position and the front screen mechanism E1 is disposed at the front standby position (in the case of FIGS. 228 and 229), the front-side regulated portion E401 and the reel-side regulating portion F401 are brought into contact with each other. It is better not to make contact but to be separated to some extent (if the front side restricted portion E401 and the reel side restricting portion F401 are in contact, when the reel side restricting portion F401 moves, the reel side restricting portion F401 and the front side Friction may occur due to contact with the regulated portion E401, and smooth rotation may not be possible. ). For example, the gap between the front-side regulated portion E401 and the reel-side regulated portion F401 is 1/20 or more (or 1/10 or more, 1/5 or more) of the diameter (circle diameter) of the front-side regulated portion E401. (1/3 or more, 1/2 or more, 2/3 or more, etc.) or the diameter of the front-side restricted portion E401 may be designed.

Further, the distance from the center O22 of the arcuate gear F22 to the reel side restricting portion F401 (r _{1 in} FIG. 222) and the distance from the rotation center E22a of the crank member E22 to the front side restricting portion E400 (r _{2 in} FIG. 224). ) Is shorter than the distance from the center O22 of the arcuate gear F22 to the rotation center E22a of the crank member E22 (the linear distance between the center O22 and the rotation center E22a in FIGS. 227 and 229). . Thereby, even if the crank member E22 rotates, the reel side restricting portion F401 and the front side restricting portion E400 do not come into contact (the front side restricting portion E400 is locked by the reel side restricting portion F401). Even if the arcuate gear F22 rotates, the reel side restricting portion F401 and the front side restricting portion E400 do not come into contact (the reel side restricting portion F401 is locked by the front side restricting portion E400). Not) Accordingly, when the reel screen mechanism F1 is disposed at the reel standby position (in the case of FIG. 227), the front screen mechanism E1 can be rotated from the front exposure position to the front standby position without any problem, and the front screen mechanism. When E1 is disposed at the front standby position (in the case of FIG. 229), the reel screen mechanism F1 can be rotated without any problem from the reel exposure position to the reel standby position.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a gaming machine equipped with an effect device capable of producing an effect by operating a movable body (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-013585). According to such a gaming machine, through the movement of the movable body, it is possible to perform a powerful effect that is difficult to obtain by only the video displayed on the liquid crystal display device.

An image that is arranged at the second non-projecting position (reel standby position) and projected by the projector is displayed on the first screen (front screen mechanism E1). On the other hand, when the second screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is disposed at the second projection position (reel exposure position), the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) is the first non-projection position (front standby position). The image projected by the projector is displayed on the second screen (reel screen mechanism F1). Thus, by defining the positional relationship between the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) and the second screen (reel screen mechanism F1), the screen on which the image projected by the projector is displayed is changed to the first screen (front Switching is made between the screen mechanism E1) and the second screen (reel screen mechanism F1). Thereby, it is possible to perform an effect using a desired screen according to the game situation.

  Here, if the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) is disposed at the first projection position (front exposure position), the second screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is moved to the second non-projection position (reel standby).

In this regard, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the arm (crank member E22) connected to the first screen (front screen mechanism E1) has a driving force applied to the second screen (reel screen mechanism F1). The first restricting portion (front restricting portion E400) for preventing the rotation of the gear (circular gear F22) for transmitting the torque is formed in a curved shape. Further, the gear (arc-shaped gear F22) for transmitting driving force to the second screen (reel screen mechanism F1) rotates together with the gear (arc-shaped gear F22), and the first restricting portion (front-side restricting). The second regulated part (reel side regulated part F400) whose rotation can be prevented by the part E400) is shifted from the pivot center (center O22 of the arcuate gear F22) on the gear (reel side regulated).

The one direction (second screen (reel screen mechanism F1) of the second restricted portion (reel side restricted portion F400) is changed from the second non-projection position (reel standby position) to the second projection position (reel exposure position). Is disposed on the second regulated portion (reel-side regulated portion F400 moving direction) side at the time of starting the operation toward the second regulated portion (reel-side regulated portion F400). ing. Accordingly, it is assumed that a force for moving the second screen (reel screen mechanism F1) from the second non-projection position (reel standby position) to the second projection position (reel exposure position) is applied to the gear (arc-shaped gear F22). Also, the second restricted portion (reel-side restricted portion F400) formed on the gear (arc-shaped gear F22) is engaged by the first restricting portion (front-side restricted portion E400) formed on the arm (crank member E22). Will be stopped. Due to this, the rotation of the gear (arc-shaped gear F22) is prevented, so that force is transmitted from the gear (arc-shaped gear F22) to the second screen (reel screen mechanism F1).

The first drive mechanism (reel screen drive mechanism F2) includes a first drive force transmission member (arc-shaped gear F22) for transmitting a drive force to the first screen, and the first screen includes the first screen. Along with the operation of the driving force transmission member, it rotates between the first projection position (reel exposure position) and the first non-projection position (reel standby position),
The second drive mechanism (front screen drive mechanism E2) includes a second drive force transmission member (crank member E22) for transmitting drive force to the second screen, and the second screen is configured to transmit the second drive. Along with the operation of the force transmission member, it rotates between the second projection position (front exposure position) and the second non-projection position (front standby position),

Is displayed on the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1), and when the second screen is disposed at the second projection position (front exposure position), the first screen is not projected on the first side. The image projected at the position (reel standby position) and projected by the projector is displayed on the second screen (front screen mechanism E1),
When the second screen rotates from the second non-projection position (front standby position) to the second projection position (front exposure position), a portion on the second screen that is farthest from the center of rotation is drawn.

A gaming machine characterized by that.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, when the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is disposed at the first projection position (reel exposure position), the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is provided. An image projected at the second non-projecting position (front standby position) and projected by the projector is displayed on the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1). On the other hand, when the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is disposed at the second projection position (front exposure position), the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is at the first non-projection position (reel standby position). The image projected by the projector is displayed on the second screen (front screen mechanism E1). In this way, by defining the positional relationship between the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) and the second screen (front screen mechanism E1), the screen on which the image projected by the projector is displayed is changed to the first screen (reel). Switching between the screen mechanism F1) and the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is performed. Thereby, it is possible to perform an effect using a desired screen according to the game situation.

  Here, if the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is disposed at the first projection position (reel exposure position), the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is moved to the second non-projection position (front standby). Position) to the second projection position (front exposure position), the positional relationship between the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) and the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is destroyed, and an appropriate There is a possibility that the production cannot be performed. In particular, when the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) rotates from the second non-projection position (front standby position) to the second projection position (front exposure position), the second screen (farthest from the center of rotation) The trajectory drawn by the part on the front screen mechanism E1) (the trajectory drawn by the front end of the front screen mechanism E1 shown in FIG. 53) is the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) arranged at the first projection position (reel exposure position). ) Is ahead of the existing position. Therefore, when the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is arranged at the first projection position (reel exposure position), the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is moved from the second non-projection position (front standby position). When moved toward the second projection position (front exposure position), the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) appears so as to cover the front of the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1). For example, a player who is excited while playing a game may hit or shake the gaming machine, and the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is moved to the second non-projection position due to vibration caused by the player. When it moves from the (front standby position) toward the second projection position (front exposure position), it is displayed on the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) by the appearance of the second screen (front screen mechanism E1). The image is hidden from the front (a part or all of the image displayed on the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is displayed on the second screen (front screen mechanism E1)), and the production is performed. It can be very strange.

  In this regard, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the second driving force transmission member (the arcuate gear F22) for transmitting the driving force to the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) includes the second A first restricting portion (reel side restricting portion F401) for blocking the operation of the second driving force transmitting member (crank member E22) for transmitting the driving force to the screen (front screen mechanism E1) is formed. Further, the second driving force transmission member (crank member E22) operates together with the second driving force transmission member (crank member E22), and the first restriction portion (reel side restriction portion F401) can be prevented from operating. Two regulated parts (front-side regulated part E401) are formed. When the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is disposed at the first projection position (reel exposure position), the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is moved from the second non-projection position (front standby position) to the first position. 2 Even when a force to move toward the projection position (front exposure position) is applied, the second regulated portion (front regulated portion E401) formed on the second driving force transmission member (crank member E22) Is locked by the first restricting portion (reel side restricting portion F401) formed on the first driving force transmitting member (arc-shaped gear F22), and thus the second driving force transmitting member (crank member E22). Is blocked. This prevents the force from being transmitted from the second driving force transmission member (crank member E22) to the second screen (front screen mechanism E1), and the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is not second. It is possible to prevent movement from the projection position (front standby position) to the second projection position (front exposure position). As a result, when an effect using the first screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is performed, a situation occurs in which the effect is disturbed by the movement of the second screen (front screen mechanism E1). It can also be suppressed.

(36-2) The gaming machine of (36-1),
When the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is disposed at the second non-projection position (front standby position), the center of gravity of the second screen is above and ahead of the center of rotation.
It is characterized by that.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, when the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is arranged at the second non-projection position (front standby position), the center of gravity of the second screen (front screen mechanism E1). Is located above and in front of the center of rotation of the second screen (front screen mechanism E1), so that the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) is projected from the second non-projection position (front standby position) to the second by gravity. A force acts to move toward the position (front exposure position). In addition to such gravity, as described above, there is a possibility that an impact is given by the player during the game. Alternatively, there is a possibility that a force for moving the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) may be exerted due to vibration or the like (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-042692) generated when the gaming machine is transported. As a result, if the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) moves from the second non-projection position (front standby position) to the second projection position (front exposure position) (the second screen disposed above (the front screen) If the mechanism E1) falls, there is also a concern that the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) and other members come into contact with each other and these members are damaged. However, as described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the second regulated portion (front regulated portion E401) formed on the second driving force transmission member (crank member E22) is the first. It is possible to stop the movement of the second screen (front screen mechanism E1) by being locked by the first restricting portion (reel side restricting portion F401) formed on the one driving force transmission member (arc gear F22). Therefore, it is possible to prevent such a situation from occurring.

  Conventionally, a gaming machine equipped with an effect device capable of providing an effect by operating a movable body is known (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-013585). According to such a gaming machine, through the movement of the movable body, it is possible to perform a powerful effect that is difficult to obtain by only the video displayed on the liquid crystal display device.

  In a gaming machine equipped with such a movable body, it is assumed that the movable body moves and other members come into contact with each other when the movable body moves. The member may be damaged.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to prevent the movable body and other members from being damaged in a gaming machine including the movable body.

  In this regard, the gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment has the following features.

(37-1) a projector (projector mechanism B2) capable of projecting an image;
A screen (reel screen mechanism F1) capable of displaying an image projected by the projector;
A drive mechanism (reel screen drive mechanism F2) for driving the screen;
A main body (cabinet G) having an opening on the front surface;
An open / close door (upper door mechanism UD) provided with a display area (upper display window UD1) that is attached to the main body portion so as to be openable and closable, and that allows an image displayed on the screen to be visually recognized.
The drive mechanism (reel screen drive mechanism F2) includes a drive force transmission member (arm member F21) for transmitting a drive force to the screen.
The driving force transmission member is rotatably supported by a support member (movable body bases C5 and C6),
The screen is rotated from the first position (reel exposure position) to the second position (reel standby position) by being driven by the drive mechanism,
When the screen is in the second position (reel standby position), a protrusion (protrusion F200b) formed on the driving force transmission member is housed in a recess (buffer member installation portion C201) formed on the support member. And the protrusion abuts against a buffer member (buffer member C202) provided in the recess.
A gaming machine characterized by that.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the projection (projection F200b) is formed on the driving force transmission member (arm member F21) for transmitting the driving force to the screen (reel screen mechanism F1). The support member (movable body bases C5 and C6) that rotatably supports the driving force transmission member (arm member F21) is formed with a recess (buffer member installation portion C201), and the recess (buffer member installation portion C201). Is provided with a buffer member (buffer member C202). When the screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is in the second position (reel standby position), the protrusion (protrusion F200b) formed on the driving force transmission member (arm member F21) is the support member (movable body base C5. C6) is housed in the recess (buffer member installation portion C201), and the protrusion (projection F200b) contacts the buffer member (buffer member C202) provided in the recess (buffer member installation portion C201). . Accordingly, when the screen (reel screen mechanism F1) that has started rotating from the first position (reel exposure position) reaches the second position (reel standby position), the driving force transmission member (arm member F21) When the protrusion (protrusion F200b) and the buffer member (buffer member C202) are in contact with each other, an impact caused by the contact can be absorbed by the buffer member (buffer member C202). Thereby, it is possible to relieve the force applied to the driving force transmission member (arm member F21), the support member (movable body bases C5 and C6), the screen (reel screen mechanism F1), etc. with the contact. It is possible to prevent damage. Further, the projection (projection F200b) formed on the driving force transmission member (arm member F21) is accommodated in the recess (buffer member installation portion C201) formed on the support member (movable body bases C5 and C6). Therefore, it is sufficient that the buffer member (buffer member C202) is provided in the concave portion (buffer member installation portion C201), and the entire contact point between the driving force transmission member (arm member F21) and the support member (movable body bases C5 and C6). It is not necessary to provide a buffer member over the entire area. Therefore, the amount of the buffer member can be reduced, and the cost due to using the buffer member can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the projection F200b formed on the arm member F21 (driving force transmission member) has been described as being housed in the buffer member installation portion C201 (concave portion) formed on the movable body bases C5 and C6. In the present invention, the driving force transmission member on which the protrusion to be housed in the recess is formed is not limited to the arm member F21. For example, the protrusion is formed on a gear (arc gear), and the protrusion is formed on the recess. It may be stored. As such a gear, a front-view fan-shaped gear (a figure surrounded by an arc and two radii) can be employed, and in this case, the protrusion protrudes from one of the two radii. What is necessary is just to form so that it may be provided.

  As an example, a fan-shaped gear having a central angle of 270 ° is given. Two points on the circumference centered at the point O are denoted as A and B, and an arc and two radii constituting the sector are denoted as an arc AB, a radius OA, and a radius OB, respectively. The arc AB constituting the sector is a longer arc (super arc). In other words, the sector (a sector having a central angle of 270 °) includes the shorter arc (sub arc), the radius OA, and the radius OB. Is cut out from the circle centered at the point O (a sector having a central angle of 90 °). The points A and B on the circumference are in such a positional relationship that the point B exists at a position obtained by rotating the point A 90 degrees clockwise along the circumference. In the gear having such a shape, the portion corresponding to the radius OA is thicker than the portion corresponding to the radius OB, and the protrusion that protrudes in the clockwise direction at the portion where the thickness is increased. Is formed.

  Here, when the screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is in the first position (reel exposure position), the radius OA is arranged along the vertical direction, while the radius OB is arranged along the horizontal direction, and the gear is By rotating 90 ° clockwise, the screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is moved to the second position (reel standby position). When the screen (reel screen mechanism F1) is in the second position (reel standby position), the radius OA is arranged along the horizontal direction. At this time, the protrusion formed at the radius OA is disposed so as to protrude downward. On the other hand, as described in the fourth embodiment, the movable body bases C5 and C6 are formed with the buffer member installation portion C201 (recessed portion) that is recessed with respect to the horizontal surface (reference surface C200), and the screen (reel) When the screen mechanism F1) is in the second position (reel standby position), the protrusion formed at the radius OA is housed in the buffer member installation portion C201 (recess) and provided in the buffer member installation portion C201 (recess). It contacts the buffer member (buffer member C202). According to such an aspect, the same effect as that of the fourth embodiment can be obtained.

When the screen is in the second position (front exposure position), the image projected by the projector is displayed on the screen, while the screen is in the first position (front standby position), The screen is arranged so that the other side surface (second pattern surface E12b) of the second member is visible through the display area,
On the other side surface (second pattern surface E12b) of the second member, a pattern having irregularities is formed,
The hole is formed in a recessed portion of the unevenness constituting the pattern,
It is characterized by that.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, when the screen (front screen mechanism E1) is in the first position (front standby position), the screen (front screen mechanism E1) is the second member (front screen). The surface on the other side (the side opposite to the side adhered to the first member (front screen member E11)) (the back surface of the screen (second pattern surface E12b)) of the support base E12) is the display region (upper side). It is arranged so as to be visible through the display window UD1). Here, as described above, the hole (through hole E130) formed in the second member (front screen support E12) is the other member from the side adhered to the first member (front screen member E11). When the screen (front screen mechanism E1) is in the first position (front standby position), the back surface (second pattern surface E12b) of the screen (front screen mechanism E1) is displayed in the display area (upper side). As it becomes visible through the display window UD1), the hole (through hole E130) formed in the second member (front screen support E12) also enters the player's field of view. If such a hole (through hole E130) is visually recognized by the player, the aesthetics of the gaming machine may be impaired, and the interest of the game may be reduced. In this regard, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the other side of the second member (front screen support E12) (the side adhered to the first member (front screen member E11)) Is formed on the opposite surface (second pattern surface E12b). Thereby, it is possible to make the hole (through hole E130) formed in the second member (front screen support base E12) indistinguishable from the pattern, and to keep the appearance of the gaming machine beautiful, It can prevent that the interest of a game falls. In particular, the pattern has unevenness, and the hole (through hole E130) is formed in a recessed portion of the unevenness constituting the pattern. Thereby, the hole (through hole E130) is the other side of the second member (front screen support E12) (the side opposite to the side adhered to the first member (front screen member E11)). Therefore, the hole (through hole E130) can be hardly seen by the player.

Display video. In the assembly process of the display unit A and the like, an adjustment PC (personal computer) 1000 is connected to the relay board CK of the projector mechanism B2. This adjustment PC (personal computer) 1000 is used for adjusting the position of the irradiation light projected by the projector mechanism B2 and initial focus setting (details will be described later). In this embodiment, the adjustment PC 1000 is used as the adjustment device for the projector mechanism B2. However, as the adjustment device for the projector mechanism B2, a tablet PC or a so-called smartphone installed with an adjustment program (application software) is used. Alternatively, a dedicated terminal device may be used.

Is guided to the projection target. Thereby, irradiation light is projected with respect to the screen used as a projection target, and an accessory, and the image | video according to production is formed.

  In the present embodiment, the projector mechanism B2 is configured as a so-called DLP projector. Further, the projector mechanism B2 increases the projection distance to the projection target by folding the irradiation light by the mirror mechanism B3, and makes the projection distance of the irradiation light as short as possible, for example, by setting the contrast ratio to 1000: 1. ing. Thereby, the display unit A provided with the projector mechanism B2 is configured to be cheaper and smaller, and is easily mounted in a limited space in the cabinet G of the gaming machine 1.

The exhaust fan 245 is disposed so as to be close to the back surface of the rear portion of the case B22, and is close to the heat sink 243G.

  An intake port B22A is provided at the right front portion of the case B22 close to the intake fan 244A, and an exhaust port B22E is provided at the right rear portion of the case B22 close to the heat sink 243R facing the intake port B22A. It has been. An intake port B22B is provided in a part of the left side of the case B22 close to the intake fan 244B, and the other part of the left side of the case B22 is arranged in the case B22 so as to be aligned with the intake port B22B. The air inlet B22C is provided so that the air reaches the three heat sinks 243G, 243B, and 243D through the empty space. An exhaust port B22D is provided at the rear of the case B22 where the exhaust fan 245 is close.

  That is, in the case B22 of the projector mechanism B2, there is formed a flow of air exhausted from the exhaust port B22E while forcibly sucking air from the air intake port B22A by the intake fan 244A and then taking heat away from the heat sink 243R. . Further, in the case B22, after the air is forcibly sucked from the air inlet B22B by the air intake fan 244B, the heat is exhausted from the air outlet B22D by the air exhaust fan 245 while taking heat from the heat sink 243D, the heat sink 243B, and the heat sink 243G. A flow of air exhausted is formed. Further, in the case B22, a flow of air forcedly exhausted by the exhaust fan 45 from the exhaust port B22D is formed while taking heat from the heat sink 243G or the heat sink 243B after being sucked from the intake port B22C. .

FIG. 234 is a plan view of a state in which the upper pedestal and the lower pedestal are coupled. FIG. 235 is a diagram for explaining a positioning method of the upper pedestal. 236 is a cross-sectional view of the upper pedestal and the lower pedestal shown in FIG. 234 along the arrow JJ. FIG. 237 is a diagram for explaining a method of adjusting the posture of the lower pedestal. FIG. 238 is a diagram illustrating a connection form between the projector mechanism and the adjustment PC.

  As shown in FIGS. 233 and 234, the upper pedestal B220 is a sheet metal member fixed to the relay plate B300 (see FIG. 242), and the rectangular main body 2200 and the left and right sides of the main body 2200 are positioned downward and outward. Left end part 2201a and right end part 2201b which are formed by bending the main body part 2200 and have a step difference from the main body part 2200, and a rear end part which extends partly rearward from the rear side of the main body part 2200. 2202.

  Each of the left end portion 2201a and the right end portion 2201b is provided with a plurality of square holes 2201c for fixing to the relay plate B300 by screw fastening. In the present embodiment, three square holes 2201c are arranged at each of the left end portion 2201a and the right end portion 2201b, and are provided at equal intervals in the front-rear direction. The vertical and horizontal inner diameter dimensions of the square hole 2201c are larger than the screw shaft diameter of the mounting screw T (see FIG. 235) that is inserted and fastened therein.

  FIG. 235 shows how the upper base B220 is attached to the relay plate B300. The upper diagram in FIG. 235 (a) is a diagram showing a state in which the mounting screw T is inserted and fastened into the square hole 2201c of the upper base B220, and the lower diagram in FIG. 235 (a) is the diagram in FIG. 235 (a). It is sectional drawing which follows the BB 'line | wire shown to the upper figure. Note that FIG. 235 shows the periphery of the square hole 2201c formed in the left end portion 2201a of the upper pedestal B220, but the periphery of the remaining square hole 2201c in the left end portion 2201a and the right end portion 2201b is the same.

  As shown in FIG. 235 (a), the mounting screw T is inserted into the square hole 2201c from above, and the mounting screw T is disposed at substantially the center of the square hole 2201c. The attachment screw T is screwed to a nut N located on the lower surface side of the relay plate B300 via a washer W arranged so as to follow the upper surface of the upper base B220 and the lower surface of the relay plate B300. Thereby, the left end part 2201a of the upper base B220 is attached to the relay plate B300 by screws. The right end portion 2201b of the upper base B220 is also attached to the relay plate B300 by the same screwing.

  Here, the hatched portion indicated by the symbol A in FIG. 235 (a) is a gap formed between the screw shaft of the mounting screw T and the square hole 2201c. In FIG. 235 (a), the screw shaft of the mounting screw T is disposed and fixed substantially at the center of the square hole 2201c. At this time, the screw shaft of the mounting screw T can be moved within the range (adjustment range) of the hatched portion indicated by the symbol A. That is, the position of the left end 2201a of the upper base B220 can be adjusted with respect to the relay plate B300 by finely adjusting the relative position of the mounting screw T to the square hole 2201c within the opening range of the square hole 2201c. Similarly, the right end portion 2201b of the upper base B220 can be positioned and adjusted with respect to the relay plate B300.

  FIG. 235 (b) shows a state in which the left end 2201a of the upper base B220 is shifted in the direction of arrow E with respect to FIG. 235 (a). The lower view of FIG. 235 (b) is a cross-sectional view along the line D-D 'shown in the upper view of FIG. 235 (b). In the state shown in FIG. 235 (b), the screw shaft of the mounting screw T is displaced relatively to the right within the opening range of the square hole 2201c, and is within the range (adjustment range) of the hatched portion indicated by the symbol C. It is possible to move with.

  In this way, the upper base B220 is attached to the relay plate B300 while being positioned and adjusted within a predetermined adjustment range that is an opening range of the square hole 2201c. That is, in the projector mechanism B2, the attachment position with respect to the relay plate B300 is adjusted in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction by the plurality of square holes 2201c provided in the left end portion 2201a and the right end portion 2201b of the upper base B220. As will be described later, the relay plate B300 is fixed to the projector cover B1, so that the direction of the light emitted from the projector mechanism B2 is perpendicular to the left-right direction and coincides with the front-rear direction as a reference direction. Easy to adjust.

  As shown in FIGS. 233 and 234, the main body 2200 and the rear end 2202 of the upper base B220 are provided with three connection holes 2200A for connecting the lower base B221. These three connecting holes 2200 </ b> A are arranged so as not to be positioned on the same straight line in a plane (horizontal plane) along the main body 2200.

  The lower pedestal B221 is a sheet metal member that substantially corresponds to the main body 2200 and the rear end 2202 of the upper pedestal B220. Three connecting screw portions 2210 are integrally formed on the lower base B221 so as to protrude upward corresponding to the three connecting holes 2200A. These three connecting screw portions 2210 are also arranged so as not to be located on the same straight line in a plane (horizontal plane) along the lower pedestal B221.

  The lower pedestal B221 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 2214 for screwing the case B22 and a plurality of screw holes 2215 for screwing the stay B 223a. The lower pedestal B221 is connected to the lower surface of the upper pedestal B220 while supporting the under cover B223 via the case B22 and the stay B223a.

  The upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 are connected to each other at three connecting portions R1, R2, and R3 so that the distance between them can be adjusted. Each of the connecting portions R1, R2, and R3 includes a connecting hole 2200A of the upper base B220, a connecting screw portion 2210 of the lower base B221, a coil spring 2211, a washer 2212, and a nut 2213 (see FIG. 237).

  FIG. 237 shows a connection structure of the lower pedestal B221 to the upper pedestal B220. FIG. 237 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the lower pedestal B221 is connected to the upper pedestal B220 by the connection hole 2200A, the connection screw part 2210, the coil spring 2211, the washer 2212, and the nut 2213 in the connection part R2. In addition, although FIG. 237 shows one connection part R2, the other connection parts R1 and R3 are the same.

  The connection screw portion 2210 of the lower pedestal B221 is inserted into the connection hole 2200A from the lower surface side of the main body portion 2200 of the upper pedestal B220, and is screwed to the nut 2213 via a washer 2212 disposed on the upper surface side of the main body portion 2200. The A coil spring 2211 is externally fitted to the connecting screw portion 2210, and this coil spring 2211 is sandwiched between the lower surface of the main body 2200 and the upper surface of the lower pedestal B221 at the peripheral edge of the connecting hole 2200A. By such a coil spring 2211, the portion in the vicinity of the connecting portion R2 between the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 is urged in the direction away from each other (vertical direction), so that the screwing between the connecting screw portion 2210 and the nut 2213 is performed. It is possible to prevent loosening at the joint.

  In such a connecting portion R2, the distance between the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 is changed while being biased by the coil spring 2211 by appropriately turning the nut 2213 in the tightening direction or the loosening direction. Specifically, when the nut 2213 is turned in the tightening direction, the interval between the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 at the connecting portion R2 is reduced. At this time, as described above, the upper pedestal B220 is fixed to the relay plate B300 (see FIG. 242), and as described later, the relay plate B300 is fixed to the projector cover B1. Therefore, the portion near the connecting portion R2 of the lower pedestal B221 is displaced in a direction approaching the upper pedestal B220 by appropriately tightening the nut 2213, and the height position is adjusted to a higher position. On the other hand, when the nut 2213 is turned in the loosening direction, the distance between the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 at the connecting portion R2 is increased. That is, the portion near the connecting portion R2 of the lower pedestal B221 is displaced in a direction away from the upper pedestal B220 by appropriately loosening the nut 2213, and the height position is adjusted to a lower level.

  Also in the other connecting portions R1, R3, the height position of the lower pedestal B221 near the connecting portions R1, R3 can be easily adjusted by appropriately adjusting the tightening amount of the nut 2213 in the same manner as described above. Specifically, such connecting portions R1, R2, and R3 are not connected to the same straight line in the plane (horizontal plane) along the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221. Specifically, the lines connected to each other form a triangle. Are arranged as follows. That is, since the lower pedestal B221 can finely adjust the height position by the tightening amount of the nut 2213 in each of the three connecting portions R1, R2, R3, the posture of the lower pedestal B221 can be The degree of inclination in the three-dimensional space can be adjusted with respect to any of the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

  By using the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 as described above, the projector mechanism B2 is attached to the projector cover B1 so that the positioning and the optical axis can be adjusted.

  The posture adjustment of the lower pedestal B221 is performed while irradiating the screen or the like with light from the projector mechanism B2 supported by the lower pedestal B221. At that time, an image is projected onto the screen or the like by the irradiation light, and the posture of the lower pedestal B221 is adjusted while confirming the image. Thereby, the optical axis direction of the light irradiated from the projector mechanism B2 is adjusted so that an image is projected in an appropriate display mode on the surface of a screen or the like. That is, the optical axis direction can be adjusted in advance so that a so-called trapezoidal distortion or the like does not occur as an image display mode by adjusting the posture of the lower pedestal B221.

  As shown in FIG. 238, adjustment in the optical axis direction and the like are performed using an adjustment PC 1000 connected to the projector mechanism B2. The projector mechanism B2 attached to the projector cover B1 via the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 is not only adjusted in the direction of the optical axis but also displayed on the screen and the like during inspection at the factory. Various adjustments necessary for projecting and displaying an image are performed. The adjustment PC 1000 is temporarily connected to the relay board CK of the projector mechanism B2 during the adjustment work (see FIG. 231). When the adjustment PC 1000 is operated, optical parameters related to the projection position of the irradiation light, focus adjustment, and the like in the projector mechanism B2 are changed by a predetermined command transmitted from the adjustment PC 1000. The projection position and the optical parameters appropriately adjusted in this way are stored in the EEPROM 231 of the projector mechanism B2 as horizontal and vertical adjustment value data (see FIG. 231). The adjustment value data in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction stored in the EEPROM 231 remains as they are even when the power is not supplied to the projector mechanism B2 for transportation after factory shipment, and the gaming machine 1 is installed in the game hall. Can be used.

  As is apparent from the above description, the projector mechanism B2 is positioned in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction according to the attachment position with respect to the relay plate B300, and according to the posture of the lower pedestal B221 in the three-dimensional space. The optical axis direction is adjusted.

  In the present embodiment, the connecting portions for connecting the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 to each other are provided at three locations. However, if the condition that at least three locations are not on the same straight line is satisfied, four locations are provided. You may make it provide a connection part above. Further, in this embodiment, the connection hole 2200A is provided in the upper pedestal B220 and the connection screw part 2210 is provided in the lower pedestal B221. However, these connection holes and connection screw parts may be provided upside down. The connecting screw portion is not limited to the one integrally formed with the pedestal as in the present embodiment, but may be any one that can be fixed to one pedestal. For example, the connecting screw portion may be a bolt that penetrates and is fixed through the lower pedestal.

<Attaching the projector mechanism B2 to the projector cover B1>
When the projector mechanism B2 is attached to the projector cover B1, the projector mechanism B2 may be directly fixed to the projector cover B1 by screwing the upper base B220 to the upper wall B12 (FIG. 39) or the like.

  A mounting hole B301b and a position adjusting hole B301c are formed as through holes in the relay plate mounting surface B301a. The mounting hole B301b is a screw hole for mounting the relay plate B300 to the relay plate mounting portion B301 by screw fastening. The position adjusting hole B301c is formed at a position facing the square hole 2201c (see FIG. 233) of the upper base B220 when the relay plate B300 is attached to the relay plate attachment portion B301.

  As shown in FIGS. 240 to 242, the relay plate B300 is attached to the projector cover B1 by screwing the screw B310 into the attachment hole B301b of the relay plate attachment surface B301a via the washer B311 and the buffer member B312. Yes.

  Further, the relay plate B300 and the upper base B220 are fastened using the cap bolt 320 and the fixing plate B321. In FIG. 235, the fixing plate B321 is not shown. However, when fastening the relay plate B300 and the upper pedestal B220, a conventionally known member can be appropriately selected and used.

  In FIG. 243, only one of the two relay plates B300 provided on the left and right is shown, and only one of the buffer members B312 provided at the four corners is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 243, the relay plate B300 is formed in a rectangular plate, and includes three first through holes B300a and a second through hole having a larger diameter than the first through hole B300a. Two B300b are formed.

  The first through hole B300a is a hole through which the cap bolt 320 is inserted when the relay plate B300 is attached to the upper base B220. The second through hole B300b is a hole for penetrating the buffer member B312.

  The buffer member B312 includes an upper part B312a, an intermediate part B312b, and a lower part B312c. Each of the upper part B312a, the intermediate part B312b, and the lower part B312c has a donut shape in which a central part is cut out from a cylinder. A through hole B312d is formed by communicating the cut-out central portion. A screw B310 (see FIGS. 240 to 242) is inserted through the through hole B312d. The upper part B312a and the lower part B312c have slightly rounded side surfaces.

  The upper part B312a and the lower part B312c have substantially the same diameter when viewed from above, and the intermediate part B312b has a smaller diameter than the upper part B312a and the lower part B312c. The diameter of the intermediate part B312b is substantially the same as the diameter of the second through hole B300b of the relay plate B300, or slightly smaller than the diameter of the second through hole B300b. Further, the length in the vertical direction of the intermediate portion B 312b is substantially the same as the thickness in the vertical direction of the relay plate B300. Accordingly, the buffer member B312 can be inserted into the second through hole B300b such that the side surface of the intermediate part B312b is brought into contact with the side surface of the second through hole B300b.

  As a result, the lower end of the upper portion B312a contacts the upper surface of the relay plate B300, the upper end of the lower portion B312c contacts the lower surface of the relay plate B300, and the lower end of the lower portion B312c contacts the relay plate mounting surface B301a. It will contact | abut (refer FIGS. 240-242).

  As shown in FIG. 242, the right end portion 2201b of the upper base B220 has a shape in which the front portion and the rear portion are cut out in a curved shape. Thereby, the space which arrange | positions buffer member B312 is ensured. Although not shown in the figure, the left end 2201a has a similar shape.

  The buffer member B312 is made of a gel material (silicone gel) made mainly of silicone having shock absorbing ability and vibration proof performance. As the silicone gel, for example, α gel (registered trademark) manufactured by Taika Corporation can be used. The material of the buffer member B312 is not particularly limited, and in addition to silicone gel, flexible organosilicon compounds such as silicone grease, silicone rubber, and silicone resin, and flexible organofluorine compounds such as fluororesin Can be adopted as appropriate.

  Such a property of the buffer member B312 makes it possible to mitigate vibrations transmitted to the projector cover B1 and the projector mechanism B2, and each member and device constituting the display unit A can be prevented from an impact generated when the display unit A is transported. Can be protected.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the fifth embodiment has been described as an embodiment of the present invention.

  A method for connecting the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221, and a method for adjusting the distance between the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 at each connecting portion (a method for adjusting the posture of the lower pedestal B221 with respect to the upper pedestal B220) ) Is the same as described with reference to FIG. 237, and the description thereof is omitted here.

  As shown in FIG. 244, the lower pedestal B221 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 2214 for screwing the case B22. As the case B22, it is possible to adopt the same configuration as that of the fifth embodiment, but in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 248, the case B22 having a rectangular parallelepiped box shape is adopted. Yes.

  Similarly to the fifth embodiment, the case B22 houses a lens unit B21 (see FIG. 232), an LED board, a DMD board, a heat sink, an intake fan, and the like, which are internal components of the projector mechanism B2. A projector control board B23 (see FIG. 232) is fixed to the lower surface of the case B22.

  A lens unit cover B222 (see FIG. 232) is attached to the front opening B22k provided on the front surface of the case B22. The lens unit B21 is accommodated in the case B22 in a state where the projection lens 210 (see FIG. 232) is covered with the lens unit cover B222.

  Although not shown in the figure, the case B22 includes two intake fans 244A at a position closer to the left than the center in the left-right direction (near the right end of the left side B221c when attached to the lower pedestal B221 (see FIG. 249)). -244B is arrange | positioned so that it may rank with front and back. A heat sink is provided on the left side of the two intake fans 244A and 244B.

  An intake port B22A is provided on the right side surface of the case B22 (see FIG. 248), and an exhaust port B22E is provided on the left side surface of the case B22 (see FIG. 249). As a result, in the case B22, a flow of air exhausted from the exhaust port B22E while forcibly taking in air from the intake port B22A by the intake fans 244A and 244B and taking heat away from the heat sink is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 249, the case B22 is attached to the lower pedestal B221 by screw fastening, and the upper end surface (upper wall portion B22F shown in FIG. 248) is the inner surface of the main body B221a of the lower pedestal B221. Abut. Further, in a state where the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 are connected, the main body B221a of the lower pedestal B221 is located above the upper pedestal B220. Accordingly, the upper wall portion B22F of the case B22 is also positioned above the upper pedestal B220.

  In this regard, in the fifth embodiment, the upper end of the case B22 is attached to the lower pedestal B221, and the upper pedestal B220 is disposed higher than that. Therefore, the case B22 cannot be disposed in the space formed between the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 (the gap portion indicated by the arrow S in FIG. 236).

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, an opening is formed in the upper base B220, and the upper end of the case B22 is arranged by arranging the case B22 so that the upper end (upper wall portion B22F) of the case B22 passes through the opening. The (upper wall portion B22F) can be positioned above the upper base B220. Thereby, the gap portion indicated by the arrow S in FIG. 236 can be used as a space for arranging the case B22.

  In this way, as compared with the fifth embodiment, the front portion provided on the front surface of the case B22 by moving the relative position of the case B22 (projector mechanism B2) with respect to the upper base B220 upward. A part of the upper base B220 is arranged in front of the opening B22k (see FIG. 248) (see FIG. 249). That is, a part of the upper pedestal B220 is placed in front of the projection lens 210 (see FIG. 232) installed so as to correspond to the front opening B22k. Thereby, it seems that the light emitted from the projection lens 210 is blocked by the upper pedestal B220.

  However, the irradiation light is not blocked in this way. That is, in the present embodiment, the irradiation light is emitted from a portion below the optical axis of the projection lens 210. In other words, when the irradiation light is emitted, only the lower half of the projection lens 210 (the portion below the horizontal plane passing through the central portion in the vertical direction of the projection lens 210) is used. The light emission position of the projection lens 210 is different from that of a conventionally known projector (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-058875).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when the irradiation light is emitted, the upper half of the projection lens 210 is not used, and the irradiation light is emitted from a portion below the optical axis of the projection lens 210, as shown in FIG. Thus, the upper pedestal B <b> 220 arranged in front of the projection lens 210 exists above the optical axis of the projection lens 210. Therefore, the path of the light emitted from the projection lens 210 is lower than the upper pedestal B220, and the irradiation light is not blocked by the upper pedestal B220.

  Further, the lower pedestal B221 is bent downward to form the right side B221b, the left side B221c, and the rear end B221d, so that the right side B221b, the left side B221c, and the rear end B221d are respectively above. The upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 can be connected so that the upper pedestal B220 is arranged. Thereby, the structure similar to 5th Embodiment is employable about the structure of 3 connection parts, changing the structure of upper base B220 and lower base B221 from 5th Embodiment.

  Therefore, the adjustment of the optical axis direction and the like of the light emitted from the projector mechanism B2 can be performed by the same method as in the fifth embodiment (see FIG. 238). For such adjustment of the optical axis direction and the like, an advanced computer program is required, and development of the program requires a large amount of cost. In the present embodiment, the optical axis direction and the like can be adjusted using the same program as that in the fifth embodiment, so that it is possible to suppress the generation of new costs.

  In the present embodiment, the case B22 is described as having the upper wall portion B22F. However, as in the fifth embodiment, the case B22 (see FIG. 232) whose upper side is opened may be used. Good. Further, the method of attaching the case B22 to the lower pedestal B221 is not particularly limited, and the case B22 is attached to the lower pedestal B221 by using the stay B223a (see FIG. 232) as in the fifth embodiment. It is good as well.

  As described above, in this embodiment, by disposing a part of the case B22 above the upper pedestal B220, it is possible to move the case B22 upward compared to the fifth embodiment. A new space can be created in the lower region of the case B22. Such an effect is obtained by changing the configuration of the upper base B220 from the fifth embodiment, and the projector cover B1 can employ the same configuration as that of the fifth embodiment.

  However, in the present embodiment, the projector cover B1 having a configuration different from that of the fifth embodiment is adopted in consideration of other effects. Hereinafter, the projector cover B1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

A rear wall portion B503 standing upward from the inclined portion B502 so that the width in the left-right direction is the same as that of the inclined portion B502, and the outer wall of the blind B500 continuously with the inclined portion B502 and the rear wall portion B503. And an inner wall portion B505 that is continuous with the inclined portion B502 and the rear wall portion B503 and faces the outer wall portion B504.

  The horizontal part B501 includes a first wall part B501a that stands slightly upward at the front end thereof, a second wall part B501b that continues from the inner part of the first wall part B501a toward the rear, and a second part. A third wall portion B501c that continues diagonally rearward from the wall portion B501b, a fourth wall portion B501d that continues rearward from the third wall portion B501c, and a second wall that continues inward from the fourth wall portion B501d. 5 wall portions B501e are formed. The fifth wall portion B501e is continuous with the inner wall portion B505.

  In order to attach the blind B500 to the projector cover B1 with screws in the area surrounded by the first wall B501a, the second wall B501b, the third wall B501c, the fourth wall B501d, and the fifth wall B501e. The screw hole 506 is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 258, when the blind B500 is attached to the lower side of the projector cover B1, the surface of the first wall B501a of the blind B500 is continuous with the wall surface B401f of the projector cover B1, and the second of the blind B500 The surface of the wall portion B501b is continuous with the wall surface B401g of the projector cover B1, the surface of the third wall portion B501c of the blind B500 is continuous with the wall surface B401h of the projector cover B1, and the surface of the fourth wall portion B501d of the blind B500 is The projector cover B1 is continuous with the wall surface B401i. The surface of the fifth wall portion B501e of the blind B500 is continuous with the surface B402a (see FIG. 255) existing in front of the cavity B402 (see FIG. 252) of the projector cover B1.

  The front surface of the rear wall B503 of the blind B500 is continuous with a surface B402b (see FIG. 255) that exists behind the cavity B402 of the projector cover B1. Further, the inner side surface of the outer wall portion B504 of the blind B500 is continuous with the inner side surface 403 (see FIG. 255) of the projector cover B1.

  Thus, the space P (see FIG. 258) is formed by the projector cover B1 and the blind B500. The space P is covered with the projector cover B1 at the top and the blind B500 at the bottom. Further, the side of the space P has the first wall portion B501a to the fifth wall portion B501e, the rear wall portion B503, and the outer wall portion B504 of the blind B500, and the wall surface B401f of the projector cover B1 that is continuous therewith. B401i, surfaces B402a and B402b existing in front and rear of the cavity B402, and the inner side surface 403 are surrounded.

  A part of the space P is connected to the external space of the projector cover B1 through the opening B400 (see FIG. 251), and the internal space Q (see FIG. 255) of the projector cover B1 through the cavity B402. See).

  Here, although not shown, in the present embodiment, when the display unit A is mounted on the cabinet G, the opening G41 (see FIG. 40) formed on the upper surface wall G4 of the cabinet G is the true of the opening B400 of the projector cover B1. Positioned on top.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 258, the air inlet B22A (see FIG. 248) of the case B22 is disposed so as to be close to the cavity B402 (the right-side cavity B402 of the two cavities B402). Although not shown, the exhaust port B22E (see FIG. 249) of the case B22 is also disposed so as to be close to the cavity B402 (the left cavity B402 of the two cavities B402). Further, as described above, the two intake fans 244A and 244B are disposed inside the case B22.

  Thereby, in this embodiment, air is opened from the outside of the gaming machine 1 to the inside of the cabinet G through the opening G41 (the right opening G41 of the two openings G41) formed in the upper wall G4 of the cabinet G. Is adopted. The air moves downward in the cabinet G and is taken into the projector cover B1 through the opening B400 of the projector cover B1 (the right opening B400 of the two openings B400).

  The air that has entered the projector cover B1 moves backward in the space P (the right space P of the two spaces P, see FIG. 258) formed by the projector cover B1 and the blind B500. The direction is changed to the inside of the cover B1, passes through the cavity B402 (the right cavity B402 of the two cavities B402), and enters the inside of the case B22 through the air inlet B22A.

  The air that has entered the inside of the case B22 proceeds to the left while taking heat generated in the case B22, and exits the case B22 through the exhaust port B22E.

  The air that has left the case B22 passes through the cavity B402 (the left cavity B402 of the two cavities B402), and then changes its path forward to the space P (the left space of the two spaces P). Move P) forward. Then, the air comes out of the projector cover B1 through the opening B400 of the projector cover B1 (the left opening B400 of the two openings B400).

  The air that has flowed out of the projector cover B1 moves upward inside the cabinet G, and then passes through an opening G41 (the left opening G41 of the two openings G41) formed in the top wall G4 of the cabinet G. And released to the outside of the gaming machine 1.

  Of the air flow described above, the air flow path inside the projector cover B1 is indicated by a thick arrow in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, by forming such an air flow path, heat generated in the projector mechanism B2 can be discharged to the outside of the gaming machine 1.

  The projector cover B1 and the blind B500 have a symmetrical structure (see FIGS. 250 and 256). The projector cover B1 and the projector cover B1 have an opening B400 that forms such an air flow path. The space P formed by the blind B500 is also symmetrical. Therefore, in designing the air flow path, if one of the left and right flow paths is designed, the design of the other flow path can be omitted. In this way, in the present embodiment, it is possible to make the display unit A that can appropriately discharge the heat generated in the projector mechanism B2 while reducing the cost for designing in the development stage.

  Here, as described above, the opening G41 (see FIG. 40) formed in the upper surface wall G4 of the cabinet G exists right above the opening B400 of the projector cover B1. That is, when the opening G41 of the cabinet G and the opening B400 of the projector cover B1 are viewed from above, at least a part of them overlaps.

  Therefore, when foreign matter such as liquid enters the gaming machine 1 from the opening G41 of the cabinet G, the foreign matter enters the projector cover B1. However, according to the present embodiment, even in such a case, it is possible to prevent the foreign matter from entering the case B22. Hereinafter, a case where the liquid R is introduced from the opening G41 of the cabinet G will be described as an example.

  The liquid R introduced from the opening G41 of the cabinet G passes through the opening B400 of the projector cover B1, and falls to the horizontal part B501 (see FIG. 258) of the blind B500. Then, the liquid R flows from the horizontal part B501 toward the inclined part B502. Thus, the liquid R flows on the surfaces of the horizontal part B501 and the inclined part B502.

  On the other hand, the space P shown in FIG. 258 and the internal space Q (see FIG. 255) of the projector cover B1 are connected via an opening B510 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 259, the opening B510 has a shape that approximates a rectangle that is formed by the sides K to N in a side view.

  Here, the side K constituting the lower end of the opening B510 corresponds to the upper end edge B505a (see FIG. 256) of the inner wall portion B505 of the blind B500. And the upper end edge B505a (the lower end of the opening 510) of the inner wall part B505 is located above the horizontal part B501 and the inclined part B502 (the path of the liquid R) as shown in FIG. This makes it difficult for the liquid R to enter the internal space Q (inside the case B22) of the projector cover B1 through the opening B510.

  Furthermore, since the inclined portion B502 has an inclination that descends toward the rear, the liquid R flows backward through the inclined portion B502 and collides with the rear wall portion B503. Then, the liquid R is stored in a region surrounded by the rear wall portion B503, the outer wall portion B504, and the inner wall portion B505 (see FIG. 259).

  The rear portion of the inclined portion B502 has a longer vertical distance from the upper end edge B505a (the lower end of the opening 510) of the inner wall portion B505 than the front portion, and the liquid R is behind the inclined portion B502. Since the liquid R is stored in a portion (a region away from the lower end of the opening 510), a situation occurs in which the liquid R enters the internal space Q (inside the case B22) of the projector cover B1 through the opening B510. It can be effectively prevented.

  Moreover, since the capacity | capacitance of the liquid R which can be stored can be enlarged compared with the case where such an inclination is not provided, when the quantity of the liquid R supplied from the opening G41 of the cabinet G is not so much Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the liquid R from entering the inside of the case B22.

  Note that the gaming machine 1 is provided with a discharging mechanism including a tube or the like that communicates from the blind B500 to the outside of the gaming machine 1 so that the stored foreign matter such as liquid can be discharged to the outside of the gaming machine 1. It is desirable that

  Further, in order to minimize the amount of foreign matter entering the gaming machine 1 from the opening G41 of the cabinet G, the opening G41 of the cabinet G is preferably smaller than the opening B400 of the projector cover B1, and the opening of the cabinet G It is desirable for G41 to have some measure (such as a mesh) for preventing entry of foreign matter.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment has been described above as an embodiment of the present invention.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a gaming machine that can produce an effect by displaying an image projected by a projector on a screen (see JP 2012-147828 A). According to such a gaming machine, it is possible to express images similar to those of a liquid crystal display device, and it is possible to reduce the cost when the display surface is enlarged as compared with a liquid crystal display device or the like. In addition, by appropriately changing the shape of the screen, it is possible to express images that cannot be performed by a liquid crystal display device.

  In a gaming machine that produces an effect using such a projector and a screen, it is conceivable that various types of screens and other objects are installed in the lower space of the projector according to the model of the gaming machine.

  However, for example, when a large screen is to be installed, or when many objects are to be installed, there has been a problem that a sufficient installation space cannot be secured.

  A countermeasure for securing such an installation space is to change the design of a cover (projector cover) covering the projector. For example, it is conceivable that the projector cover is remade so that the position of the portion constituting the ceiling of the projector cover is high, or the projector cover is remade so that the position of the projector attached to the projector cover is high. If such a ceiling position or mounting position becomes higher, it is possible to move the projector placement position upward accordingly, thereby creating a new space in the lower area of the projector.

  However, when the design of the projector cover is changed, it is necessary to re-create the mold of the projector cover, and there is a problem that it takes a huge amount of money to create the mold.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of expanding a space existing below a projector while suppressing an increase in cost.

  In this regard, the gaming machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment has the following features.

(44-1) a projector capable of projecting an image (an internal component (lens unit B21, etc.) of the projector mechanism B2 shown in FIG. 232 and a case B22 for housing them),
A projector cover (projector cover B1) disposed so as to surround the projector;
A screen (fixed screen mechanism D, front screen mechanism E1, reel screen mechanism F1) capable of displaying an image projected by the projector;
A main body (cabinet G) having an opening on the front surface;
An openable / closable door (upper door mechanism UD) provided with a display area (upper display window UD1) that is attached to the main body so as to be opened and closed and that allows the screen to be visually recognized.
The projector cover and the projector are connected via a first member (upper pedestal B220) having an opening,
The projector is arranged such that a part of the projector is inserted from the lower side to the upper side of the opening of the first member, and the projector (the internal components of the projector mechanism B2 shown in FIG. 232 (lens unit B21, etc.)). And a part of the case B22) for accommodating them is present above the first member (upper pedestal B220).
A gaming machine characterized by that.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment, the projector cover (projector cover B1) and the projector (the internal components (lens unit B21, etc.) of the projector mechanism B2 and the case B22 for housing them) are the first member. The first member (upper pedestal B220) is formed with an opening. Due to the presence of the opening, a part (part belonging to a predetermined range from the upper end) of the projector (the internal components (lens unit B21, etc.) of the projector mechanism B2 and the case B22 for housing them) can be moved to the first member (upper base B220) can be arranged above. On the other hand, when no opening is formed in the first member (upper pedestal B220), the upper ends of the projectors (inner components (lens unit B21, etc.) of the projector mechanism B2 and the case B22 for housing them) are inevitably required. In addition, the first member (upper base B220) is disposed below. Therefore, by forming an opening in the first member (upper pedestal B220), the projector (internal components (lens unit B21, etc.) of the projector mechanism B2) and them are accommodated as compared with the case where no opening is formed. Case B22) can be moved upwards as a whole. As a result, a new space can be created in the lower area of the projector (the internal components of the projector mechanism B2 (such as the lens unit B21) and the case B22 that accommodates them). In order to obtain such an effect, it is sufficient to change the design of the first member (upper base B220), and it is not necessary to change the design of the projector cover (projector cover B1). For this reason, it is possible to reduce the cost caused by expanding the space existing below the projector (the internal components of the projector mechanism B2 (such as the lens unit B21) and the case B22 that accommodates them).

(44-2) The gaming machine according to (44-1),
The first member (upper pedestal B220) is attached so that an in-plane position with respect to the projector cover can be adjusted,
The first member (upper pedestal B220) and the projector (inner components (lens unit B21, etc.) of projector mechanism B2 shown in FIG. 232 and case B22 for housing them) are the second member (lower pedestal B221). Are connected via
The second member (lower pedestal B221) includes an upper part (main body part B221a) and a lower part formed by bending downward with respect to the upper part (right part B221b, left part B221c, and A rear end B221d),
The second member is attached to the projector at the upper side portion (main body portion B221a) and supports the projector, and is disposed below the first member (right side portion B221b, left side portion). B221c and rear end B221d) are attached to the first member (upper pedestal B220) so that the distance can be adjusted at three or more locations.
It is characterized by that.

  Prior to the present invention, the present inventor attaches the second member (lower pedestal B221) to the upper part of the projector (the internal components (lens unit B21, etc.) of the projector mechanism B2 and the case B22 that accommodates them). (A first member (upper pedestal B220) disposed above the second member (lower pedestal B221) while supporting the internal components of the projector mechanism B2 (lens unit B21 and the like and the case B22 for housing them). ) Has been developed so that the spacing can be adjusted at three or more locations. According to such an attachment structure, the second member with respect to the first member (upper pedestal B220) is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first member (upper pedestal B220) and the second member (lower pedestal B221) at each location. The inclination of the member (the lower pedestal B221) can be changed, whereby the projector (the internal components of the projector mechanism B2 (such as the lens unit B21)) supported by the second member (the lower pedestal B221) and the The attitude of the case B22) to be accommodated can be adjusted.

  Here, as described above, based on the formation of the opening in the first member (upper pedestal B220), the projector (the internal components (lens unit B21, etc.) of the projector mechanism B2 and the case B22 for housing them) A part was to be arranged above the first member (upper base B220). Therefore, as in the conventional case, when the second member (lower pedestal B221) is to be attached to the upper part of the projector (the internal components (lens unit B21, etc.) of the projector mechanism B2 and the case B22 that accommodates them), The necessity to arrange | position a 2nd member (lower base B221) upward generate | occur | produced. However, when the second member (lower pedestal B221) is moved upward, the second member (lower pedestal B221) is disposed above the first member (upper pedestal B220), and the first member The vertical relationship between the (upper pedestal B220) and the second member (lower pedestal B221) is reversed from the conventional one. A sophisticated computer program is necessary for adjusting the attitude of the projector (the internal components (lens unit B21, etc.) of the projector mechanism B2 and the case B22 for housing them) as described above, but the first member (upper pedestal B220). ) And the second member (lower pedestal B221) change, the conventional program cannot be used, and a large cost is required to develop a new program. I faced the problem of end.

  In earnest examination about such a problem, this inventor changes the design of the 2nd member (lower pedestal B221), the upper part (main part B221a) and the lower part (right side B221b, left side) A bent structure including a part B221c and a rear end part B221d), and a projector (an internal component of the projector mechanism B2 (lens unit B21, etc.) and a case for housing them in the upper part (main body part B221a). B22) is supported, while the lower part (the right part B221b, the left part B221c, and the rear end part B221d) is disposed below the first member (upper pedestal B220), thereby the first member (upper pedestal). B220) and the second member (lower pedestal B221) without changing the relative positional relationship in the attachment portion, the first member (upper pedestal) as in the conventional case It led to idea that can be attached to adjustable distance from the 220). According to the gaming machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment, a projector (an internal component of the projector mechanism B2 (lens unit B21, etc.) and a case B22 for housing them by a method similar to the conventional one without changing the design of the program. ) Can be adjusted, and the generation of new costs can be suppressed.

  Conventionally, there is known a gaming machine capable of producing an effect by displaying an image projected by a projection device such as a projector on a screen (see JP 2012-147828 A). According to such a gaming machine, it is possible to express images similar to those of a liquid crystal display device, and it is possible to reduce the cost when the display surface is enlarged as compared with a liquid crystal display device or the like. In addition, by appropriately changing the shape of the screen, it is possible to express images that cannot be performed by a liquid crystal display device.

  However, the projection device is more likely to generate heat than the liquid crystal display device and the like, and is likely to become high temperature. Therefore, there is a problem that the projection device cannot function normally unless the generated heat is released.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of efficiently releasing heat generated by a projection apparatus capable of projecting an image. And

When the air passes through the projector (projector mechanism B2) and is warmed by absorbing the heat generated by the projector (projector mechanism B2), the high-temperature air has a property of moving upward. For this reason, the air that has passed through the projector (projector mechanism B2) rises in the second space (left space P), and the second opening (above the second space (left space P)) ( It will be discharged smoothly from the opening B400 on the left side. As a result, it is possible to efficiently release the heat generated in the projector (projector mechanism B2) through such an air flow, and the cooling efficiency of the projector (projector mechanism B2) can be increased.

  Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment, the cover member (blind B500) has the lower ends (the horizontal portion B501 and the inclined portion B502) that define the lower end of the first space (right space P). In addition, the lower end portion (horizontal portion B501 and inclined portion B502) includes an inclined portion (inclined portion B502) having an inclination such that the lower end portion is lowered as it is away from the portion immediately below the first opening (right opening B400). . Accordingly, when liquid (such as a drink poured by the player) enters the cover member (projector cover B1 and blind B500) from the outside of the gaming machine through the first opening (right side opening B400). The liquid flows through the inclined portion (inclined portion B502) so as to descend as it moves away from the portion immediately below the first opening (right opening B400). Here, since at least a part of the inclined portion (inclined portion B502) is located below the lower end (upper edge B505a of the inner wall portion B505) of the third opening (right opening B510), the liquid is inclined. The lower part of the third opening (right opening B510) and lower than the lower end (upper edge B505a of the inner wall part B505) of the third opening (right side opening B510). Since the lower end (the upper end edge B505a of the inner wall portion B505) of the opening B510) is present at the upper side, the liquid does not easily pass through the third opening (the right-side opening B510), and the liquid does not pass through the projector. It is difficult for the projector mechanism B2 to enter the place where the projector mechanism B2 is disposed. In this way, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment, the projector (projector mechanism B2) can be protected from foreign matters such as liquid entering from the outside of the gaming machine.

(45-2) The gaming machine of (45-1),
On the upper surface of the main body (the upper wall G4 of the cabinet G), there is a fifth opening (the right opening G41 of the two openings G41) above each of the first opening and the second opening. ) And the sixth opening (the left opening G41 of the two openings G41),
It is characterized by that.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment, the upper surface (upper surface wall G4) of the main body (cabinet G) has the first opening (right opening B400) and the second of the cover member (projector cover B1). A fifth opening (right opening G41) and a sixth opening (left opening G41) are formed above the respective openings (left opening B400). As a result, air is introduced into the gaming machine from above the gaming machine via the fifth opening (right opening G41) of the main body (cabinet G), and the first opening of the cover member (projector cover B1).

The heat travels through the projector cover B1 while taking the heat, and goes out of the projector cover B1 through the opening B400L (the left opening B400 of the two openings B400).

  Although not shown in the drawing, an opening (opening 6300L) is formed on the left side surface of the decoration unit 6258 as well as the right side surface. Thereby, the air that has flowed out of the projector cover B1 from the opening B400L is discharged from the opening 6300L to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 6100.

  Such air flow is indicated by arrows in FIG. In this modification, it is considered that the warmed air may be taken into the adjacent gaming machine because the air discharge direction is set to the side of the gaming machine. In order to prevent the occurrence of such a situation, when the air discharge direction is set to the side of the gaming machine, for example, the width of the decoration unit 6258 in the left-right direction is further shortened, for example, It is desirable that the exhaust port (opening 6300L) in the gaming machine and the intake port (opening 6300R) in the pachinko gaming machine installed next to the pachinko gaming machine be separated to some extent.

  Hereinafter, another modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 266 is an exploded perspective view of the pachinko gaming machine.

  In the above-described modification, the irradiation light device B has been described as being attached to the frame member 6211. In contrast, in the example illustrated in FIG. 266, the irradiation light device B is attached to the base door 6113. A speaker 6152 is also attached to the base door 6113. Also in such a modification, the air flow path similar to the example mentioned above can be formed.

  In FIG. 266, the irradiation light device B is shown attached to the front side of the base door 6113, but the irradiation light device B may be attached to the rear side of the base door 6113. In the present invention, the irradiation light device B may be installed in front of the game board, or may be installed in the rear of the game board. When the irradiation light device B is installed behind the game board, the irradiation light device B can be disposed by using the space while forming a space on the back side of the game board.

  For example, an irradiating light device is arranged on the base door, the game board, or other rear members of the pachinko gaming machine so that the opening portion is provided in the center of the gaming board and the front portion of the irradiating light device passes through the opening portion. It may be. In that case, a conventional pachinko gaming machine (a pachinko gaming machine having a configuration in which an opening is provided in the center of the gaming board and a liquid crystal display device or the like behind the gaming board is visible through the opening). Can be diverted as it is. For example, by removing the liquid crystal display device, disposing the screen mechanism, and further disposing the irradiation light device on the rear member of the game board or the like, while maintaining the shape of the game board as before, the irradiation light device and the screen mechanism It becomes possible to make it a new gaming machine equipped with. When such a configuration is adopted, a part of the front of the irradiation light device protrudes forward of the game board, so that a larger space behind the pachinko gaming machine can be secured. By doing so, when a pachinko gaming machine with an irradiation light device is installed in the entire island facility in a game arcade where the island facility is narrow, it is possible to reduce the temperature rise in the island facility. Furthermore, a small-sized liquid crystal display for arranging a decorative member such as a logo according to the model or for auxiliary decoration in front of the irradiation light device that can be visually recognized by the player (for example, around the reflector holding portion B11). By arranging a device, an electric decoration board, and the like, the irradiation light device can be blinded so as not to be seen by the player, and the effect can be further enhanced.

  The screen device C may be installed in a state of being attached to the irradiation light device B, or may be installed in a state of being separated from the irradiation light device B.

  In the modification described above, the air discharge direction is the rear or side of the gaming machine, but air may be discharged from above the gaming machine as in the sixth embodiment. When the air discharge direction is upward, for example, an exhaust opening may be formed on the upper surface of the decoration unit 6258 (glass door 6111). In this case, when the irradiation light device B is installed behind the game board, an appropriate opening may be formed in the game board in order to secure an air passage.

  In the present invention, it is possible to appropriately form openings in the members existing on the air flow path according to the direction in which air is introduced and discharged, and the path through which air flows. A tubular duct may be provided according to the air flow path.

  Further, in order to make the air flow smooth, an intake fan and / or an exhaust fan can be provided as appropriate. For example, an intake fan (for example, the intake fan 6244 in FIG. 264) is disposed between the opening for taking in air (for example, the opening 6300R in FIG. 265) and the opening B400R in the projector cover B1, or air is supplied. It is possible to dispose an exhaust fan between the discharge opening (for example, the opening 6300L in FIG. 265) and the opening B400L of the projector cover B1. However, as long as intake and exhaust are sufficiently performed by the fan provided inside the irradiation light device B, it is not necessary to provide a fan outside the irradiation light device B.

  In the modification described above, the projector cover B1 described in the sixth embodiment is used. However, the configuration of the projector cover is not particularly limited, and is used for taking in the cooling air for the projector. A projector cover in which an opening and an opening for discharging the air are formed can be appropriately employed. These openings can be formed at any location such as the front, rear, upper, lower, side, etc. of the projector cover, and the positions where the openings are formed are appropriately determined in consideration of the cooling efficiency of the projector. be able to. Further, the projector may be disposed inside the gaming machine in an exposed state without being covered by the projector cover, and the cooling air taken from the outside of the gaming machine is directly input to the projector (via the projector cover). It is also possible to configure it to hit (without).

  FIG. 275 shows the positional relationship between the inner frame 7000 and the bottom plate C1 (see FIGS. 45 and 168) of the screen casing C10 when the upper door mechanism UD is closed.

  As described in the second embodiment and the fourth embodiment, the right movable body base C5 is placed on the right placement portion C12 of the bottom plate C1. A right front screen drive mechanism E2B and a reel screen drive mechanism F2 are disposed on the right side of the right movable body base C5. The left movable body base C6 is placed on the left placement portion C13 of the bottom plate C1. A left front screen drive mechanism E2A is disposed on the left side of the left movable body base C6.

  The arrangement position of at least a part of the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 is on the left side of the right end of the upper display window UD1. Further, the arrangement position of at least a part of the left front screen drive mechanism E2A is on the right side of the left end of the upper display window UD1.

  Therefore, if the inner frame 7000 is not provided, the front screen drive mechanism E2 (the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the left front screen drive mechanism E2A) and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 It can be easily viewed by the player via UD1 (see FIG. 276A).

  In contrast, in the present embodiment, the inner frame 7000 is provided, and the presence of the inner frame 7000 creates a situation in which the front screen drive mechanism E2 and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 are difficult to enter the player's field of view.

  As shown in FIG. 275, the side 7001B of the inner frame 7000, that is, the side that defines the second decorative surface 7001b of the right side 7001 (see FIG. 272), and the right end side C12a of the right mounting portion C12 of the bottom plate C1 , Almost parallel. The positions in the left-right direction of the side 7001B and the right end side C12a are substantially the same (or the right end side C12a is slightly to the right of the side 7001B) (when the gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front, the right movable body (The positional relationship is such that the right end of the base C5 substantially overlaps the second decorative surface 7001b, or the right end of the right movable body base C5 is slightly to the right of the second decorative surface 7001b). Also, the side 7002B of the inner frame 7000, that is, the side that defines the second decorative surface 7002b of the left side portion 7002 (see FIG. 272) and the left end side C13a of the left placement portion C13 of the bottom plate C1 are substantially parallel. ing. The positions of the side 7002B and the left end side C13a in the left-right direction are substantially the same (or the left end side C13a is slightly leftward from the side 7002B) (when the gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front, the second decoration The surface 7002b and the left end side C13a substantially overlap each other, or the left end of the left movable body base C6 is positioned slightly to the left of the second decorative surface 7002b).

  Therefore, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 are disposed on the right side of the second decorative surface 7001b of the inner frame 7000 (right side portion 7001). The second decorative surface 7001b is a surface that defines the left end of the right side portion 7001, and the first decorative surface 7001a is formed on the right side of the second decorative surface 7001b in front view. Further, the left front screen drive mechanism E2A is disposed on the left side of the second decorative surface 7002b of the inner frame 7000 (left side portion 7002). The second decorative surface 7002b is a surface that defines the right end of the left side portion 7002, and the first decorative surface 7002a is formed on the left side of the second decorative surface 7002b in front view.

  Accordingly, when the gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 overlap with the first decorative surface 7001a of the inner frame 7000 (right side portion 7001), and the left front screen drive The mechanism E2A overlaps with the first decorative surface 7002a of the inner frame 7000 (left side portion 7002). That is, the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 are covered from the front by the right side portion 7001 (first decorative surface 7001a) of the inner frame 7000, and the left front screen drive mechanism E2A is the left side portion of the inner frame 7000. 7002 (first decorative surface 7002a) is covered from the front. As a result, the front screen drive mechanism E2 (the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the left front screen drive mechanism E2A) and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 are not easily seen by the player (see FIG. 274).

  Further, even when the gaming machine 1 is viewed obliquely forward, the second decorative surface 7001b of the inner frame 7000 (right side portion 7001) is at a predetermined angle with the first decorative surface 7001a (surface disposed on the front side). Since the right front screen drive mechanism E2B and the reel screen drive mechanism F2 are hidden behind the second decorative surface 7001b, it is difficult to enter the field of view. . Similarly, the second decorative surface 7002b of the inner frame 7000 (left side portion 7002) is arranged to form a predetermined angle (90 ° in the present embodiment) with the first decorative surface 7002a (surface arranged on the front side). Therefore, the left front screen drive mechanism E2A is hidden behind the second decorative surface 7002b and is difficult to enter the field of view.

  As shown in FIG. 276B, a right hidden wall C7001 is disposed between the right side 7001 of the inner frame 7000 and the right movable body base C5 (see FIG. 202). FIG. 276B shows the positional relationship between the right side portion 7001 of the inner frame 7000 and the right hidden wall C7001 when the upper door mechanism UD is closed.

  As shown in this figure, the right side portion 7001 and the right hidden wall C7001 are substantially in contact with each other. Further, the second decorative surface 7001b of the right side portion 7001 and the surface of the right hidden wall C7001 (the left surface in the front view) are arranged substantially in parallel, and these surfaces exist on substantially the same plane. (The positions in the left-right direction are substantially the same). Accordingly, the second decorative surface 7001b of the right side portion 7001 is a surface that is substantially continuous from the surface of the right hidden wall C7001.

  Further, the rear portion of the second decorative surface 7001b and the front portion of the right hidden wall C7001 (in the vicinity of the portion where the right side portion 7001 and the right hidden wall C7001 substantially contact) are formed in substantially the same color. Yes. Furthermore, the right hidden wall C7001 has a pattern C7001a having a convex shape with respect to the surface and a rock-like appearance. A pattern C7001b that is the same as or similar to the pattern C7001a is also formed on the rear portion of the second decorative surface 7001b. A pattern identical or similar to these patterns is also formed in the front portion of the right movable body base C5.

  As described above, the right side portion 7001, the right hidden wall C7001 and the right movable body base C5 of the inner frame 7000 are arranged with natural appearance because the boundaries of the respective members are not conspicuous. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable in appearance.

  In order to prevent the display unit A from being damaged by an impact when the upper door mechanism UD is closed, a slight separation is provided between the right side portion 7001 of the inner frame 7000 and the right hidden wall C7001. It is good. However, it is desirable that the gap between the right side 7001 and the right hidden wall C7001 is negligible with respect to the size of the right side 7001. For example, the distance between the right side 7001 and the right hidden wall C7001 is 1/20 or less, 1/30 or less, 1/50 or less, 1/100 or less of the length of the side 7001B (see FIG. 272) of the right side 7001. It can be.

  In the above, the right side portion 7001, the right movable body base C5, and the right hidden wall C7001 of the inner frame 7000 have been described, but the same applies to the left side portion 7002 of the inner frame 7000 and the left movable body base C6. In addition, the left hidden wall is arranged, and the same applies to the configuration and arrangement relationship among the left side 7002, the left movable body base C6, and the left hidden wall.

<Lower part 7003 and lower cover 7004>
Next, the lower side portion 7003 and the lower cover 7004 will be described.

The right step portion 7003b is formed with a step on the right side of the main body portion 7003a so that the thickness in the vertical direction is smaller than that of the main body portion 7003a. The left step portion 7003c is formed with a step on the left side of the main body portion 7003a so that the thickness in the vertical direction is smaller than that of the main body portion 7003a. A wall portion (front end wall portion 7003e) having a thickness similar to that of the main body portion 7003a is formed at the front ends of the right step portion 7003b and the left step portion 7003c.

  The right side portion 7001 described above is placed on the right step portion 7003b and is fixed by screw fastening. The back side of the front end wall portion 7003e of the right stepped portion 7003b is continuous with the right edge portion 7003f of the main body portion 7003a, and the shape of these wall portions and side edge portions corresponds to the shape of the lower portion of the right side portion 7001. ing. Accordingly, when the lower end of the right side portion 7001 comes into contact with the upper surface of the right side step portion 7003b, the right side portion 7001 can be fitted into the right step portion 7003b.

  Similarly, the left side portion 7002 described above is placed on the left stepped portion 7003c and fixed by screw fastening. The back side of the front end wall portion 7003e of the left stepped portion 7003c is continuous with the left edge portion 7003g of the main body portion 7003a, and the shape of these wall portions and side edge portions corresponds to the shape of the lower portion of the left side portion 7002. ing. Thus, when the lower end of the left side portion 7002 comes into contact with the upper surface of the left step portion 7003c, the left side portion 7002 can be fitted into the left step portion 7003c.

  The lower portion 7003 of the inner frame 7000 is fixed by screw fastening of the front surface 7003d of the main body 7003a to the vertical surface HLa (see FIG. 277) of the center frame HL (see FIG. 268). It is attached to the upper door mechanism UD. A lower cover 7004 having a rectangular shape in plan view is attached to the back surface of the lower side portion 7003.

  FIG. 278 shows the positional relationship among the lower portion 7003 of the inner frame 7000, the center frame HL, and the bottom plate C1 of the screen casing C10 when the upper door mechanism UD is closed.

  As shown in FIG. 278, the lower end portion 7003 (main body portion 7003a) of the inner frame 7000 has its front end fixed to the center frame HL, while its rear end is located behind the front end of the bottom plate C1. Thereby, the main body 7003a of the lower part 7003 is in a posture to bridge the center frame HL and the bottom plate C1.

  On the other hand, FIG. 279 shows a state where the lower side portion 7003 is removed from the state shown in FIG. In this state, a gap S is formed between the center frame HL and the bottom plate C1, and due to the presence of the gap S, the space above the intermediate support plate G1 (the above-described upper space) and the intermediate support plate G1. A lower space (the above-described lower space) communicates with the lower space.

  In the present embodiment, by providing the lower side portion 7003 of the inner frame 7000, such a gap S (a gap formed between the upper door mechanism UD and the screen device C or the intermediate support plate G1) is blocked. . As a result, unauthorized access is made to the main control board MS (see FIG. 32), the sub control device SS (see FIGS. 90 and 148) and other various devices arranged in the lower space through the gap S. Is prevented. For easy understanding, the gap S is indicated by hatching in FIG. 279, and the main body 7003a of the lower side 7003 is indicated by hatching in FIG. 278.

  In addition, since the main body 7003a of the lower side portion 7003 is disposed above the bottom plate C1, it is desirable that the lower side portion 7003 has a structure that exists on the bottom plate C1 and is visually recognized by the player. It is also possible to prevent those that are not present (for example, the buffer member installation portion C300 (see FIG. 212) described in the fourth embodiment) from entering the player's field of view.

<Upper right fixed part 7005 and upper left fixed part 7006>
Next, the upper right fixing portion 7005 and the upper left fixing portion 7006 will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 269 and 270, the upper right fixing portion 7005 is fixed to the upper end surface of the right side portion 7001 by screw fastening. The upper right fixed part 7005 has a shape similar to the upper end surface of the right side part 7001 at the rear part, and is formed to bend or curve leftward from the rear part to the front.

The upper left fixing part 7006 has a shape similar to the upper end surface of the left side part 7002 at the rear part, and is formed to bend or curve in the right direction from the rear part to the front.

  Due to the provision of the upper right fixed portion 7005 and the upper left fixed portion 7006, components (for example, LED boards) disposed above the upper right fixed portion 7005 or the upper left fixed portion 7006 are difficult to be visually recognized by the player. ing.

  In particular, the upper right fixing portion 7005 and the upper left fixing portion 7006 have a shape such that the front portion faces inward. Normally, the player is seated so as to face the center in the left-right direction of the upper display window UD1, and when the player looks up at the upper right portion of the upper display window UD1, When the front portion enters the player's view and the player looks up at the upper left portion of the upper display window UD1, the front portion of the upper left fixing portion 7006 enters the player's view. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively create a situation in which the parts arranged above the upper right fixed portion 7005 or the upper left fixed portion 7006 are difficult to be visually recognized by the player.

  As described above, when the medals stored in the medal auxiliary storage are manually ejected by the store clerk of the game store, it takes time to return the medal auxiliary storage to the original position in the cabinet. There is a possibility that labor efficiency will be reduced and it will not be possible to fully meet the needs of customers (players). In addition, since the player cannot play a game while such a manual discharge operation is being performed, the operation rate of the gaming machine may decrease if the operation takes time. .

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can easily perform the operation of arranging the medal auxiliary storage at a regular position. .

  In this regard, the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment has the following features.

(48-1) A medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) for storing medals overflowing from a hopper device (hopper mechanism HP) for storing medals;
A main body (cabinet G) that houses the medal auxiliary storage and has an opening on the front surface;
An opening / closing door (lower door mechanism DD) attached to the main body so as to be opened and closed;
A speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) attached to the door so as to cover the speaker (speaker DD25R) provided on the door from the back side;
The medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) is disposed at a predetermined distance from the side wall (side wall G2) of the main body,
A medal spill prevention member (overflow guide 8020) is provided so as to fill a gap between the medal auxiliary storage and the side wall,
The speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) is provided at a position facing the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) in a state where the open / close door is closed with respect to the main body.
In the state where the opening and closing door is closed with respect to the main body, the medal auxiliary storage and the speaker cover are in contact with or in proximity to each other.
A gaming machine characterized by that.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) is disposed at a predetermined distance from the side wall (side wall G2) of the main body (cabinet G). A medal spill prevention member (overflow guide 8020) is provided so as to fill a gap between the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) and the side wall (side wall G2). That is, in the state where the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) is disposed at the regular position, the medal spill prevention member (overflow guide 8020) is disposed so as to contact the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF). Has been.

  Therefore, after the medals stored in the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) are manually discharged by the store clerk of the amusement store, the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) is replaced with a regular one in the main body (cabinet G). When returning to the position, place the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) near the entrance of the main body (cabinet G) so that it comes into contact with the medal spill prevention member (overflow guide 8020). That's fine. If the open / close door (lower door mechanism DD) is closed in this state, the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) hits the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF), so that the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) becomes the main body (cabinet). G) is pushed backward. Thereby, since the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) is accommodated at the regular position, the operation of arranging the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) at the regular position can be easily performed.

  Here, in a state where the open / close door (lower door mechanism DD) is closed with respect to the main body (cabinet G), the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) and the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) contact or If the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) and the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) are separated from each other in the vicinity, the medal assistance is performed before the door (lower door mechanism DD) is completely closed. The state where the storage (overflow bucket OF) and the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) are in contact with each other is released. As a result, the pushing of the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) by the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) becomes insufficient, and the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) may stop ahead of the normal position. There is. According to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) is pushed by the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) until the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) reaches the proper position. Therefore, the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) can be disposed at a regular position while avoiding such a situation.

  In the present invention, “contact or close” refers to a state of substantially contacting. “Substantially abutting” is not only the state where the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) and the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) are completely in contact, but also the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF). This is a concept including a state in which the distance from the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) is sufficiently smaller than the size of the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF). Specifically, in the present invention, the distance between the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) and the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) is 1/10 or less of the length in the front-rear direction of the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF). (Or 1/20 or less, 1/30 or less, 1/50 or less, etc.). For example, the distance between the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) and the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) may be 2 cm or less (or 1 cm or less, 5 mm or less, 2 mm or less, etc.).

(48-2) The gaming machine according to (48-1),
The medal spill prevention member (overflow guide 8020) is in contact with the first surface (contact surface 8020a) in contact with or close to the medal auxiliary storage, and the first surface above the medal auxiliary storage. And a second surface (upper side surface 8020b) formed so as to protrude to the side opposite to the side wall.
It is characterized by that.

  As described above, the speaker can be closed by closing the open / close door (lower door mechanism DD) with the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) placed near the entrance of the main body (cabinet G) (in front of the normal position). When the cover (speaker cover DD25R1) hits the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF), the medal auxiliary storage (overflow) is caused by the impact when the speaker cover (speaker cover DD25R1) hits the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF). If the bucket OF) jumps upward, there is a possibility that the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) is not disposed at the proper position. In this regard, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the medal spill prevention member (overflow guide 8020) is in contact with or close to the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF). 8020a) and a second surface (upper side surface 8020b) formed above the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF). Therefore, when the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) attempts to jump upward, the upward movement of the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) causes the second surface of the medal spill prevention member (overflow guide 8020) ( It is regulated by the upper side surface 8020b), and the medal auxiliary storage (overflow bucket OF) can be prevented from popping out.

  In particular, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the upper surface 8017c of the overflow cover 8017 is formed at a position higher than the main surface 8017b (surface on which the overflow bucket OF is placed) (see FIG. 285), for example, as shown in FIG. 296, the bottom portion of the overflow bucket OF is placed on the boundary portion between the upper side surface 8017c of the overflow cover 8017 and the front inclined surface 8017e (the rear side is higher than the front side). Thus, it is considered that the overflow bucket OF may be placed in a state where the overflow bucket OF is inclined. When the lower door mechanism DD is closed in such a state, there is a high possibility that the overflow bucket OF jumps upward due to an impact when the speaker cover DD25R1 hits the overflow bucket OF. According to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, even in such a case, the presence of the upper side surface 8020b of the overflow guide 8020 can prevent the overflow bucket OF from popping out.

  Furthermore, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the rear protruding portion 8034 protruding rearward from the right side and the left side is formed on the upper rear side of the overflow bucket OF (see FIG. 292). . Therefore, when the overflow bucket OF moves upward and hits the upper side surface 8020b of the overflow guide 8020, the rear protrusion 8034 comes into contact with the upper side surface 8020b. As a result, the front portion of the overflow bucket OF is lifted with the contact point of the rear protrusion 8034 and the upper side surface 8020b as a fulcrum, and the tilted state of the overflow bucket OF is corrected. As a result, the overflow bucket OF can be efficiently disposed at the regular position.

  Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the detection plate 8011 and the noise filter bracket 8012 are attached to the back wall G3 of the cabinet G, and the medal detection piece 8011a and the grounding portion 8012a are the cabinet. Projecting toward the front in G (see FIG. 281). If the upper surface 8020b of the overflow guide 8020 is not provided, and the overflow bucket OF jumps out in an unintended direction when the lower door mechanism DD is closed, the detection piece 8011a and the grounding portion 8012a are connected to the overflow bucket OF. The detection piece insertion hole 8010a and the earth insertion hole 8010b are not successfully inserted (the detection piece insertion hole 8010a and the earth insertion hole 8010b of the back surface 8010 of the overflow bucket OF are not formed, and the detection piece 8011a and There is a risk that the overflow bucket OF, the detection piece 8011a, and the ground portion 8012a may be damaged. According to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the overflow bucket OF can be disposed at a regular position while avoiding such a situation.

  Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the contact surfaces (the first front surface 8033a and the second front surface 8033b) of the overflow bucket OF with the speaker cover DD25R1, and the overflow bucket OF of the speaker cover DD25R1. The contact surfaces (the first bottom surface DD25R1a and the second bottom surface DD25R1b) have two surfaces each having a step, and the overflow bucket OF and the speaker cover DD25R1 are respectively in contact with the two surfaces having the step. It is configured to touch. Thereby, the impact when the speaker cover DD25R1 hits the overflow bucket OF can be mitigated, and the force for pushing the overflow bucket OF backward can be transmitted in a well-balanced manner.

  Further, for example, when the lower door mechanism DD is closed in a state where the bottom of the overflow bucket OF is placed on the upper side surface 8017c of the overflow cover 8017 (a state substantially parallel to the main surface 8017b), the speaker cover DD25R1 is placed on the overflow bucket OF. Is hit, the first front surface 8033a of the overflow bucket OF is positioned above the speaker cover DD25R1. For this reason, the first bottom surface DD25R1a of the speaker cover DD25R1 does not contact the first front surface 8033a of the overflow bucket OF, but the second bottom surface DD25R1b of the speaker cover DD25R1 contacts the second front surface 8033b of the overflow bucket OF. Therefore, even when the overflow bucket OF is placed in such a state, the overflow bucket OF can be appropriately pushed backward by the second bottom surface DD25R1b of the speaker cover DD25R1.

  Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the length of the overflow bucket installation portion 8015 in the left-right direction is longer than the length of the main surface 8017b of the overflow cover 8017 in the left-right direction. Therefore, in a state where the overflow cover 8017 is placed on the overflow bucket installation portion 8015, the left side portion and the right side portion of the overflow bucket installation portion 8015 protrude from the main surface 8017b of the overflow cover 8017 to the left and right, respectively. It is in an (exposed) state (see FIG. 283). The length of the overflow bucket OF in the left-right direction is also slightly longer than the length of the main surface 8017b of the overflow cover 8017 in the left-right direction. Therefore, in a state where the overflow bucket OF is installed in the overflow bucket installation portion 8015, most of the bottom of the overflow bucket OF is in contact with the main surface 8017b of the overflow cover 8017, while the left and right portions of the overflow bucket OF are These are slightly protruded leftward and rightward from the main surface 8017b of the overflow cover 8017 (see FIGS. 286 and 287). The main surface 8017b of the overflow cover 8017 is higher than the overflow bucket installation portion 8015 by the thickness thereof, so that the portion that protrudes to the left and right of the overflow bucket OF and the overflow bucket installation portion 8015 A gap is formed between the exposed portion. Even in the process of pushing the overflow bucket OF backward from the vicinity of the entrance of the cabinet G, the state in which such a gap is formed (the state where the overflow bucket OF and the overflow bucket installation portion 8015 are separated) is maintained, and the overflow bucket OF. Moves backward without coming into contact with the overflow bucket installation portion 8015. Further, the right side surface (upper peripheral edge portion 8032) of the overflow bucket OF abuts the overflow guide 8020, but the left side surface of the overflow bucket OF does not abut against other members. The upper surface of the overflow bucket OF is also separated from the upper side surface 8020b of the overflow guide 8020 and does not come into contact with other members. That is, in the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, a rail-shaped member (guide rail) that can adjust the moving direction of the overflow bucket OF is not used when the overflow bucket OF is disposed at a regular position. I am going to do that.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the eighth embodiment, the overflow bucket OF can be disposed at a regular position by pushing the overflow bucket OF with the speaker cover DD25R1. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a guide rail member or the like for guiding the overflow bucket OF to a regular position, and the cost can be reduced.
