Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、遊技機の補助演出装置に関し、更に詳細には、図柄を変動表示させて主たる遊技演出を行なう図柄表示装置が臨む装飾部材に配設されて、該図柄表示装置での遊技演出に合わせて複数の可動部材を動作させる遊技機の補助演出装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
代表的な遊技機であるパチンコ機は、機内にセットされる遊技盤の盤面に画成した遊技領域の略中央位置に装飾部材が配設されて、該装飾部材に形成した開口部から液晶式やドラム式等の図柄表示装置を臨ませ、この図柄表示装置で図柄組合わせゲームやリーチ演出等の主たる遊技演出を行なうようになっている。また、前記装飾部材に所要の動作を行なう可動部材を備えた補助演出装置を配設し、該可動部材を前記図柄表示装置で行なわれる遊技演出に合わせて動作させることにより、視覚的な演出効果を向上させ、遊技の興趣を一層増大するようにしたパチンコ機も知られている。例えば、前記補助演出装置としては、複合装置(装飾部材)に往復運動可能にハンマー(可動部材)を配設し、該ハンマーと連繋させたソレノイド(駆動手段)を特別図柄表示器(図柄表示装置)での遊技演出に合わせて駆動させるようにしたものがある(特許文献１参照)。また、表示装置(装飾部材)に手袋やシルクハットを模した複数の可動体(可動部材)を揺動可能に配設すると共に、各可動体に対応してソレノイド(駆動手段)を夫々配設し、複数の可動体を可変表示部(図柄表示装置)での遊技演出に合わせて揺動させることで、より遊技の興趣を高めるようにしたものもある(特許文献２参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このように、図柄表示装置での遊技演出に合わせて可動部材を動作させれば、視覚的な演出効果を向上させて遊技の興趣を増大することが可能となり、更に可動部材を複数設けることで、その効果がより一層高められる。しかし、前述のように補助演出装置に複数の可動部材を設ける場合には、各可動部材を駆動させる駆動手段を対応的に配設するため、複数の駆動手段が必要となり、装置全体が大型化する欠点がある。しかも、パチンコ機の裏側には、前記図柄表示装置や補助演出装置等を制御する制御基板や効果音出力装置、その他多数の構成部品が配設されるため、スペース的に余裕があるとは言い難く、前記複数の可動部材を備えた大型の補助演出装置をパチンコ機に配設するスペースの確保が困難となる問題も招く。また、前記各可動部材を動作させるに際して駆動手段毎に制御する必要があるので、各可動部材の動作制御が複雑となる難点も指摘される。
【０００５】

【作用】
本発明に係る遊技機の補助演出装置は、単一の駆動手段により作動手段を駆動し、該作動手段の作動に際し、複数の可動部材に対応して設けた複数の伝達手段を該作動手段に設けた対応の各連繋部と連繋することで、各可動部材は所要の動作を行なう。このように、複数の可動部材を駆動することで、視覚的な演出効果を向上して遊技の興趣が一層増大され、かつ複数の可動部材が単一の駆動手段で動作されるので、補助演出装置の組付けに必要な部品点数を少なくでき、装置自体の小型化を図り得る。また、前記複数の可動部材を夫々異なる方向に動作させることにより、各可動部材による動的な遊技演出による興趣を一層増大させ得る。
【００１２】
更に、本発明に係る遊技機の補助演出装置では、図柄表示装置における遊技演出と、補助演出装置による動的な遊技演出によって、より興趣に富んだ遊技が可能となる。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明に係る遊技機の補助演出装置につき、好適な実施例を挙げて、添付図面を参照しながら、以下詳細に説明する。なお、実施例では、補助演出装置を一般的なパチンコ機(遊技機)に配設した場合で説明する。
【００１４】
(遊技盤について)
図２に示すように、実施例に係るパチンコ機の遊技盤Ｊは、略円形状に湾曲形成したレール１０により画成された遊技領域Ｉの前側において、縦央やや下部に配設されて遊技球をスイッチで検出し得る始動入賞具１１と、この始動入賞具１１の直上方に配設されて該遊技盤Ｊを装飾する装飾部材１５と、大型電動式の入賞装置Ｍ等が配設されている。そして、前記装飾部材１５に開設した可視表示部１４に、前記始動入賞具１１への遊技球の通入に応じて図柄を変動表示させ、所要の図柄組合わせゲーム(主たる遊技演出)を行なう図柄表示装置Ｋが後方から臨んでいる。なお、前記遊技盤Ｊにおける遊技領域Ｉの側部には、該遊技盤Ｊを装飾する装飾ランプＮが配設されている。
【００１５】
また前記入賞装置Ｍは、図柄表示装置Ｋの大当り成立時に対する特別遊技状態として、開成作動条件が付与される大型の入賞装置であって、図２に示すように、特別入賞具１７に対設された扉状の開閉板１８が、後側の電磁ソレノイドに係る設定駆動条件に基づいて、通常の閉鎖状態から開放状態に変化されるようになっている。そして、特別入賞具１７の後側内部にセーフ球用のカウントスイッチと、開放作動継続用の特別スイッチ(Ｖスイッチ)が組込まれている(何れも図示せず)。なお、入賞装置Ｍの左右両側に普通入賞具１９,１９が設けられている。
【００１６】
(補助演出装置について)
図２に示すように、前記図柄表示装置Ｋが臨む前記装飾部材１５の右上方位置には、ワニ型の装飾を施した装飾部２０ａで被覆された補助演出装置２０が配設されて、該図柄表示装置Ｋでの図柄組合わせゲームに合わせて、「眼」を模した第１の可動部材４１および「下顎」を模した第２の可動部材６０を揺動運動するよう構成されている。前記補助演出装置２０は、図１または図６に示すように、前記装飾部材１５に取付けられる本体部２１と、該本体部２１に配設される駆動手段としての単一のモータ２８と、該本体部２１に配設されてモータ２８の回転運動に伴い直線的に往復移動するスライド部材(作動手段)３１と、前記第１および第２の可動部材４１,６０に対応的に設けられて、スライド部材３１の往復移動に際し第１の可動部材４１を揺動運動させる第１の伝達手段としてのアーム部材(第１の伝達部)５１および作用板(第2の伝達部)５６と、第2の可動部材６０を揺動運動させる第２の伝達手段としての欠歯歯車６２とから基本的に構成されている。なお、前記補助演出装置２０は、前記装飾部材１５に対して右下がりに傾斜した状態で配設してあるので(図２参照)、以下において補助演出装置２０の説明に関しては、上下方向は後述する基部２２の長手方向を指称し、左右方向は基部２２の短手方向を指称するものとする。
【００１７】
(本体部について)
図３に示すように、前記本体部２１は、上下方向に長尺な略矩形状に形成されて上下および前側に開放する基部２２と、該基部２２に対して所要の空間部をあけて前側に配設される支持板部２６とから構成されており、該基部２２と支持板部２６との間に、前記スライド部材３１が往復移動可能に配設されている。そして、前記基部２２における左右の両側壁部２２ａ,２２ａの下部位置には、前記支持板部２６を固定する係止フック２２ｂ,２２ｂが夫々形成されると共に、該基部２２における係止フック２２ｂ,２２ｂの近傍には、支持板部２６を位置決めする突出部２２ｃ,２２ｃが設けてある。
【００１８】
前記基部２２の上部位置には、図３に示すように、上下方向に所要距離だけ延在する案内孔２３が形成されており、該案内孔２３に前記スライド部材３１の案内片３２ｂ(後述)が挿通されている。このように、前記案内孔２３に案内片３２ｂを挿通することで、前記スライド部材３１の上下方向移動を案内孔２３の長さ範囲で規制すると共に、該スライド部材３１の左右方向の移動を規制するようになっている。また、前記基部２２の下部位置に、前記モータ２８の図示しない回転軸に取付けられた後述するカム部材(変換手段)２９の軸部２９ｂを挿入する下孔部２５が形成されると共に、前記案内孔２３と下孔部２５との間に、前記欠歯歯車６２を位置決めする上孔部２４を形成してある。
【００１９】
前記支持板部２６における左右の両側部には、前記係止フック２２ｂ,２２ｂと係脱可能に係合する係合部２６ａ,２６ａが夫々形成されており、該支持板部２６と基部２２とで前記スライド部材３１を挟んだ状態で、各係合部２６ａに係止フック２２ｂを係合させることにより、基部２２に対して支持板部２６が着脱可能に組付けられる。このように、前記基部２２と支持板部２６とを組付けることで、両部材２２,２６間に配設された前記スライド部材３１の前後方向の移動を規制している。また、前記支持板部２６における前記基部２２の各突出部２２ｃと前後に整列する位置には、位置決め孔２６ｂ(図３において１つのみ図示)が夫々形成されており、係合部２６ａと係止フック２２ｂとを係合させた際に各位置決め孔２６ｂに突出部２２ｃが対応的に通入され、該支持板部２６が前記基部２２に対して位置決めされるようになっている。
【００２０】
前記支持板部２６の略中央位置には、前記モータ２８の回転軸を挿通し得る挿通孔２６ｃが形成されており、該挿通孔２６ｃにモータ２８の回転軸を挿通させた状態で、該支持板部２６にモータ２８がネジ止めされる。また、前記支持板部２６の挿通孔２６ｃから通出した前記モータ２８の回転軸に、前記スライド部材３１を往復移動させるカム部材２９が取付けられている。なお、前記支持板部２６の上端部に前記基部２２の通孔２２ｄと前後に整列する上通孔２７ａが形成されると共に、該支持板部２６の下端部に下通孔２７ｂが形成されており、該支持板部２６の前側から該上通孔２７ａおよび下通孔２７ｂの夫々に挿通させたネジを、前記装飾部材１５に螺挿することで、前記本体部２１およびモータ２８が固定される。
【００２１】
このように、前記基部２２と支持部材２６とにより、前記スライド部材３１を往復移動可能に挟み込むと共に、該支持部材２６にモータ２８を固定することで、前記本体部２１と前記スライド部材３１および前記モータ２８がユニット化されて、一体的に取り扱い得るよう構成されている。
【００２２】
前記カム部材２９は略円板状に形成されており、図３または図５に示すように、その前面側の中心から所要量だけ変位した位置に軸孔２９ａが形成され、該軸孔２９ａに前記モータ２８の回転軸が挿通されている。また、前記カム部材２９の後面側には、前記軸孔２９ａの形成箇所と対応する位置に、後方に向かって突出する前記軸部２９ｂが設けられ、該軸部２９ｂが前記基部２２の下孔部２５に挿通するようになっている。すなわち、前記カム部材２９には、前記軸孔２９ａおよび軸部２９ｂが偏心して形成されている。
【００２３】
(スライド部材について)
前記スライド部材３１は、図３または図５に示すように、上下方向に長尺の略矩形状に形成されて、このスライド部材３１の上端面に、上方に向かって突片３２を突設してある。そして、前記突片３２の端部近傍に、前側および左右に開口する第１鉤部(第１の連繋部)３２ａが形成されており、該第１鉤部３２ａに前記アーム部材５１の第１支軸５３ａ(後述)が係止される。また、前記突片３２の後側には、前記基部２２の案内孔２３に挿通される前記案内片３２ｂが後方に向かって突設されており、該スライド部材３１の案内片３２ｂは案内孔２３に沿ってスライドするよう構成されている。
【００２４】
更に、前記スライド部材３１における下部部位には、前記カム部材２９を収容する第１収容部３３が形成されており、該第１収容部３３には前記案内片３２ｂと上下方向に整列し、該カム部材２９の軸部２９ｂを挿通可能な第１の溝部３３ａが形成されている。なお、前記第１収容部３３の上下方向の寸法は、前記カム部材２９の直径寸法と略同等に設定されており、該第１収容部３３の左右方向の寸法は、前記軸部２９ｂを前記第１の溝部３３ａに挿通したもとでカム部材２９を回転させた際に、当該カム部材２９の軸部２９ｂから最も離間するカム部材２９の外周位置が、第１収容部３３の内周面に略当接する寸法に設定されている(図３および図５参照)。すなわち、前記カム部材２９の軸部２９ｂを前記第１の溝部３３ａに挿通した状態で前記モータ２８を駆動すると、該カム部材２９が前記第１収容部３３に略内接状態で偏心回転すると共に、前記スライド部材３１が前記案内片３２ｂと軸部２９ｂとを結ぶ直線上を往復移動する。なお、前記カム部材２９は、常には前記スライド部材３１を最も上方に位置する第１位置(図５(a))に保持されるようになっており、該カム部材２９が１８０度回転すると、該スライド部材３１が最も下方に位置する第２位置(図５(c))に変位される。
【００２５】
また、図３または図５に示すように、前記スライド部材３１における前記基部２２の上孔部２４と前後に整列する位置には、前記第２の可動部材６０に対応して設けた前記欠歯歯車６２を収容する第２収容部３５が形成されており、該第２収容部３５の左内側面に、該欠歯歯車６２と噛合する歯車部(第２の連繋部)３４が上下方向に形成されている。そして、前記歯車部３４と対応する部位には、前後に貫通する第２の溝部３４ａが形成されており、前記欠歯歯車６２の後方に突出した台部６２ａを該第２の溝部３４ａを通出させたもとで該台部６２ａが前記基部２２の上孔部２４に挿通され、該欠歯歯車６２を位置決めしている。なお、前記スライド部材３１の前面側および後面側における各四隅には突部３１ａが夫々設けられており、各突部３１ａが対向する前記基部２２および支持板部２６に当接した状態でスライド部材３１が往復移動されるようになっている。
【００２６】
(第１の可動部材について)
次に、前記第１の可動部材４１を揺動運動させる構成について説明する。前記第１の可動部材４１は、図４に示すように、中空の略半球状に形成された球形部材４２と、該球形部材４２の内部に上下方向に内接する略円板状の連結部材４３とから構成され、略矩形箱状に形成されたケース体４７に球形部材４２が前側に膨出する向きで配設される。ここで、前記球形部材４２の外周面は上側と下側を区切る段状に形成されており、該球形部材４２の下側に「黒目」の装飾を施してある(図１参照)。また、前記球形部材４２における左右方向の膨出部位には、左右方向に整列する位置に、前記第１の可動部材４１の揺動中心としての第１枢軸４６を挿通する軸孔４２ａ(図４において右側の軸孔のみ図示)が形成されている。更に、前記球形部材４２の内周面における前側の膨出部位に凹部４２ｂが形成されると共に、下方の膨出部位に切欠部(図示せず)が形成されている。
【００２７】
なお、前記ケース体４７は、左右に分離可能な右半体４８と左半体４９とから形成されており、該右半体４８の上端部および下端部にボス部４８ｄ,４８ｄを夫々形成すると共に、左半体４９に各ボス部４８ｄと対応して通孔４９ｅ,４９ｅを夫々設け、各通孔４９ｅを介してネジを螺挿することにより、両半体４８,４９がネジ止めされている。そして、両半体４８,４９の前端部に、左右方向に整列する第１支持孔４８ｂ,４９ｂを備えた支持片４８ａ,４９ａが形成され、該第１支持孔４９ｂに前記球形部材４２の軸孔４２ａから突出する前記第１枢軸４６の軸端部が挿通される。また、前記両半体４８,４９の後方位置には、左右方向に整列するよう第２支持孔４８ｃ,４９ｃを形成してある。なお、前記右半体４８の上端部に形成したボス部４８ｄには、後述するバネ部材３６の後方端が係止されるようになっている。
【００２８】
また、図４に示すように、前記連結部材４３における前記球形部材４２の各軸孔４２ａと整列する位置には、前記第１枢軸４６を挿通する軸孔４３ｂを形成したボス部４３ａ(図４において一方のボス部のみ図示)が突設されており、該球形部材４２の軸孔４２ａと連結部材４３の軸孔４３ｂを整列させたもとで、第１枢軸４６を挿通するようになっている。なお、前記連結部材４３の右側面における前記ボス部４３ａの上側近傍には突起部４３ｃが設けてある。
【００２９】
また、前記連結部材４３の上端部には、前記バネ部材３６の前方端を係止するフック状の係止鉤部４４ａが形成され、下端部には前記球形部材４２の切欠部と係合する第１位置決め突部４４ｂが形成されると共に、該連結部材４３における前側の膨出部位には、前記球形部材４２の凹部４２ｂに挿入される第２位置決め突部４４ｃが形成されている。すなわち、前記第１および第２位置決め突部４４ｂ,４４ｃが、前記切欠部および凹部４２ｂに対応的に係合することにより、前記球形部材４２に対して連結部材４３が所定の位置に位置決めされ、両部材４２,４３が一体的に揺動するようになっている。なお、前記係止鉤部４４ａの端縁は、前記球形部材４２の端部に当接するよう構成されており、該係止鉤部４４ａに係止した前記バネ部材３６の脱落を防止している。

前記第１の伝達手段としての前記アーム部材５１は略３角形状に形成され、その一角部にボス部５２が左右方向に突設されると共に、該ボス部５２を貫通するた軸孔５２ａに挿通した第２枢軸５４を中心に揺動し得るよう構成されている。なお、前記アーム部材５１の軸孔５２ａを挿通した前記第２枢軸５４は、前記ケース体４７に設けた前記各第２支持孔４８ｃ,４９ｃに枢着される(図４参照)。また、前記アーム部材５１の左側面には、前記スライド部材３１の第１鉤部３２ａと係脱可能に係合する前記第１支軸５３ａが左方に向けて突設されており(図３参照)、該スライド部材３１の往復移動に際し第１鉤部３２ａと第１支軸５３ａとが連繋して、前記アーム部材５１を揺動するようになっている。更に、前記アーム部材５１の右側面には、前記作用板５６の第２鉤部５７(後述)と係脱可能に係合する第２支軸５３ｂを突設してあり、該第２支軸５３ｂと第２鉤部５７とが連繋するよう構成してある。
【００３１】
前記作用板５６は、前後方向に長尺な略平板状に形成されて、前記ケース体４７に前記スライド部材３１の移動方向と交差する前後方向に平行移動し得るよう配設される。そして、前記作用板５６の後端部近傍に、前記アーム部材５１の第２支軸５３ｂと係脱可能に係合する第２鉤部５７が形成され、該作用板５６の前端部に、前記第１の可動部材４１における連結部材４３の前記突起部４３ｃに当接する突出片５８が形成されている。また、前記作用板５６の左側面には、前後方向に延在する所要幅寸法のスライド溝５６ａを形成してある(図７参照)。このスライド溝５６ａには、前記ケース体４７の左半体４９に突設した案内板４９ｄが挿通され、該作用板５６が案内板４９ｄに沿って平行移動可能に構成されている。これにより、前記アーム部材５１の揺動運動に伴い前記第２支軸５３ｂと第２鉤部５７とが連繋して、前記作用板５６が案内板４９ｄに沿って前後方向(前記スライド部材３１の移動方向と交差する方向)に往復移動する。
【００３２】
すなわち、前記カム部材２９が回転して前記スライド部材３１を上方移動させると、前記アーム部材５１が第２枢軸５４を中心として揺動するのに伴って、前記作用板５６が前方移動して該作用板５６の突出片５８で前記連結部材４３の突起部４３ｃを押圧し、前記球形部材４２を前記バネ部材３６の弾性力に抗して前記第１枢軸４６を中心に下方向(図７における反時計回り)に揺動する。そして、前記スライド部材３１が前記第１位置に位置すると、前記球形部材４２は「眼」を閉じた第１状態となるまで揺動される(図６(a)または図７(a)参照)。一方、前記スライド部材３１を下方移動させると、前記作用板５６が後方移動して該作用板５６の突出片５８による前記突起部４３ｃの押圧が解除されて、前記球形部材４２は前記バネ部材３６の弾性力により前記第１枢軸４６を中心に上方向(図７における時計回り)に揺動する。そして、前記スライド部材３１が前記第２位置に位置すると、前記球形部材４２は「眼」を開けた第２状態となるまで揺動される(図６(b)または図７(b)参照)。
【００３３】
(第２の可動部材について)
次に、前記第２の可動部材６０を揺動運動させる構成について説明する。図１または図６に示すように、前記第２の可動部材６０は、前後方向に延在する連結支軸(枢支点)６１を介して前記スライド部材３１の歯車部３４と連繋する前記欠歯歯車６２の軸孔６２ｂに連結固定されており(図３参照)、該スライド部材３１の往復移動に際し歯車部３４と欠歯歯車６２とが噛合して該欠歯歯車６２が揺動すると共に、第２の可動部材６０も揺動される。ここで、前記連結支軸６１の延在方向と、前記アーム部材５１の第２枢軸５４における延在方向とは交差するようになっているので、前記欠歯歯車６２は、前記スライド部材３１の往復運動に際して該アーム部材５１と異なる方向に揺動することとなる。
【００３４】
すなわち、前記カム部材２９が回転して前記スライド部材３１を上方移動させると、前記第２の可動部材６０は前記連結支軸６１を中心に上方向(図６における時計回り)に揺動され、該スライド部材３１が前記第１位置に位置すると、第２の可動部材６０は該連結支軸６１を基準として左上がりに傾斜して「口」を閉じた第１状態となる(図６(a)参照)。一方、前記スライド部材３１を下方移動させると、前記第２の可動部材６０は前記連結支軸６１を中心に下方向(図６における反時計回り)に揺動され、該スライド部材３１が前記第２位置に位置すると、第２の可動部材６０は左下がりに傾斜して「口」を開けた第２状態となるよう設定されている(図６(b)参照)。
【００３５】
【実施例の作用】
次に、本実施例に係る遊技機の補助演出装置の作用につき説明する。
【００３６】
前記装飾部材１５に配設した前記補助演出装置２０は、常には前記スライド部材３１が第１位置に保持されており、眼を模した第１の可動部材４１および下顎を模した第２の可動部材６０により、「眼」および「口」が閉じた第１状態に保持されている(図６(a)参照)。この状態で、前記補助演出装置２０のモータ２８を駆動して該モータ２８に取付けた前記カム部材２９を回転させると、前記スライド部材３１は前記第１位置から第２位置に移動する(図５(a)→(c)参照)。
【００３７】
このとき、前記スライド部材３１の第１鉤部３２ａが前記アーム部材５１の第１支軸５３ａを下方に引張るので、該アーム部材５１が第２枢軸５４を中心に下方(図７における時計回り)に揺動すると共に、該アーム部材５１の第２支軸５３ｂが前記作用板５６の第２鉤部５７を後側に引張り、該作用板５６が後方移動する。このため、前記作用板５６による前記第１の可動部材４１の連結部材４３における突起部４３ｃへの押圧が解除され、該第１の可動部材４１は係止鉤部４４ａに係止したバネ部材３６の弾性力により引張られて前記第１枢軸４６を中心に上方向に揺動し、「眼」が開いた第２状態となる。また、前記スライド部材３１の第１位置から第２位置への移動に際し、該スライド部材３１に形成した前記歯車部３４と噛合する欠歯歯車６２が揺動され、該欠歯歯車６２と連結された前記第２の可動部材６０が連結支軸６１を中心に反時計回りに揺動されて、「口」が開いた第２状態となる(図６(b)参照)。
【００３８】
前記モータ２８を更に駆動してカム部材２９を回転させると、前記スライド部材３１は第２位置から第１位置に移動する(図５(c)→(a)参照)。このとき、前記スライド部材３１の第１鉤部３２ａが前記アーム部材５１の第１支軸５３ａを上方に押圧するので、該アーム部材５１は第２枢軸５４を中心に上方(図７における反時計回り)に揺動され、該アーム部材５１の第２支軸５３ｂにより前記作用板５６の第２鉤部５７が前側に押圧されて前方移動する。このため、前記第１の可動部材４１の連結部材４３における突起部４３ｃが前記作用板５６の突出片５８により前方へ押圧されて、該第１の可動部材４１は前記バネ部材３６の弾性力に抗して前記第１枢軸４６を中心に下方に揺動し、「眼」が閉じた第１状態となる。このとき、前記スライド部材３１に形成した歯車部３４により前記第２の可動部材６０に連結する欠歯歯車６２が揺動されるので、該第２の可動部材６０も連結支軸６１を中心に上方に揺動されて、「口」が閉じた第１状態に復帰する(図６(a)参照)。
【００３９】
このように、第１および第２の可動部材４１,６０を揺動させることで、視覚的な演出効果が向上されて遊技の興趣を増大することが可能となる。このとき、前記第１および第２の可動部材４１,６０を単一のモータ２８を駆動して同時に揺動し得るようになっているので、補助演出装置２０の組付けに必要な部品点数を少なくでき、装置自体の小型化を図り得ると共に、モータ２８を複数配設することに伴うコストの増大を防止することができる。また、単一のモータ２８を制御するだけで第１および第２の可動部材４１,６０を動作させ得るので、各可動部材４１,６０の動作制御を簡単に行なうことが可能である。更に、前記第１の可動部材４１の第１枢軸４６と第２の可動部材６０の連結支軸６１とを異なる方向(左右方向と前後方向)に延在させたから、第１および第２の可動部材４１,６０は夫々異なる方向に揺動されるため、より一層視覚的な演出効果が向上されて遊技の興趣を増大し得る。
【００４０】
また、前記本体部２１(基部２２)の下孔部２５および案内孔２３に、前記カム部材２９の軸部２９ｂおよびスライド部材３１の案内片３２ｂを挿通しているので、該スライド部材３１を確実に下孔部２５と案内孔２３とを結ぶ直線上を往復移動させることができる。更に、前記欠歯歯車６２の台部６２ａを前記本体部２１(基部２２)の上孔部２４に挿通してあるので、前記スライド部材３１の歯車部３４により該欠歯歯車６２を揺動するに際し、当該欠歯歯車６２を一定位置で揺動させることが可能である。更にまた、前記スライド部材３１に形成した各突部３１ａを介して、該スライド部材３１と前記本体部２１(基部２２および支持板部２６)とが当接するようにしたので、両部材２１,３１の接触面積が小さくなり、当該スライド部材３１を円滑に往復移動させることができる。なお、前記補助演出装置２０の第１の可動部材４１を揺動する手段としてバネ部材３６の弾性力を利用するようにしたので、リンク機構やクランク機構等の複雑な構成にすることなく第１の可動部材４１を揺動させることができ、部品点数を少なくして該装置２０の構成の簡略化を図り得る。また、前記ケース体４７の右半体４８に形成したボス部４８ｄに、前記バネ部材３６の後方端を係止したことで、新たに該バネ部材３６を係止する部材を設ける必要がない。
【００４１】
【変更例】
なお、補助演出装置の構成としては、実施例のものに限られるものではなく種々の変更が可能である。例えば、カム部材を介してスライド部材を往復移動させるようにしたが、クランク機構等の回転運動を直線運動に変換する各種の変換手段を採用することができる。また、駆動手段としては、モータに限らずロータリー式のソレノイド等の各種ロータリーアクチュエータや、直線的に駆動するソレノイドやシリンダ等のリニアアクチュエータを用いることが可能である。
【００４２】
そして、第１および第２の可動部材を夫々揺動させるようにしたが、前記スライド部材の連繋部と該第１および第２の可動部材の伝達手段とを所要に応じて組合わせることで、直線運動等を行なわせることもでき、更に動作方向も所要に応じて変更することができる。また、補助演出装置に配設する可動部材としては２つに限らず、３つ以上の可動部材を配設し各可動部材に夫々所要の動作をさせてもよい。なお、実施例では、装飾部材に液晶式の図柄表示装置を配設して主たる遊技演出を行なうようにしたが、ドラム式やベルト式等のように図柄を変動表示するものであればよい。また、前記補助演出装置を配設する遊技機としては、パチンコ機に限らずアレンジボール機等であってもよく、主たる遊技演出を行なう図柄表示装置が臨む装飾部材を備えたものであれば何れのものであってもよい。
【００４３】
【発明の効果】
以上に説明したように、本発明に係る遊技機の補助演出装置は、単一の駆動手段により駆動される作動手段の作動に際し、伝達手段および連繋部を介して複数の可動部材に所要の動作を行なわせるよう構成したから、視覚的な演出効果を向上させて遊技の興趣が一層増大され、かつ複数の可動部材が単一の駆動手段で動作されるので、装置自体の小型化を図り得る。また、前記複数の可動部材を夫々異なる方向に動作させることにより、各可動部材による動的な遊技演出による興趣を一層増大させ得る。
【００４４】
そして、更に本発明に係る遊技機の補助演出装置では、図柄表示装置における遊技演出と、補助演出装置による動的な遊技演出によって、より興趣に富んだ遊技が可能となる。また、第１の可動部材を揺動する手段としてバネ部材の弾性力を利用するようにしたので、リンク機構やクランク機構等の複雑な構成にすることなく第１の可動部材を揺動させることができ、部品点数を少なくして補助演出装置の構成の簡略化を図り得る。

[0033]
(About the second movable member)
Next, a configuration for swinging the second movable member 60 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 6, the second movable member 60 is connected to the gear portion 34 of the slide member 31 via a connecting support shaft (pivot support point) 61 extending in the front-rear direction. It is connected and fixed to the shaft hole 62b of the gear 62 (see FIG. 3), and when the slide member 31 reciprocates, the gear portion 34 and the toothless gear 62 mesh with each other, and the toothless gear 62 swings. The second movable member 60 is also swung. Here, since the extending direction of the connecting support shaft 61 and the extending direction of the arm member 51 on the second pivot shaft 54 intersect each other, the toothless gear 62 is connected to the slide member 31. When reciprocating, the arm member 51 swings in a different direction.
[0034]
That is, when the cam member 29 rotates and moves the slide member 31 upward, the second movable member 60 is swung upward (clockwise in FIG. 6) about the connection support shaft 61, When the slide member 31 is positioned at the first position, the second movable member 60 is inclined upward to the left with respect to the connecting support shaft 61 and is in a first state in which the “mouth” is closed (FIG. 6A). )reference). On the other hand, when the slide member 31 is moved downward, the second movable member 60 is swung downward (counterclockwise in FIG. 6) about the connection support shaft 61, and the slide member 31 is moved to the first position. When the second movable member 60 is located at the second position, the second movable member 60 is set to be in the second state in which the “mouth” is opened by inclining leftward (see FIG. 6B).
[0035]
[Effect of the embodiment]
  Next, according to this embodimentGaming machineAuxiliary production equipmentSetThe operation will be described.
[0036]
In the auxiliary effect device 20 disposed on the decorative member 15, the slide member 31 is always held at the first position, and the first movable member 41 simulating the eyes and the second movable simulating the lower jaw. The member 60 holds the “eye” and “mouth” in the first closed state (see FIG. 6A). In this state, when the motor 28 of the auxiliary effect device 20 is driven to rotate the cam member 29 attached to the motor 28, the slide member 31 moves from the first position to the second position (FIG. 5). (See (a) → (c)).
[0037]
At this time, since the first flange portion 32a of the slide member 31 pulls the first support shaft 53a of the arm member 51 downward, the arm member 51 moves downward about the second pivot shaft 54 (clockwise in FIG. 7). The second support shaft 53b of the arm member 51 pulls the second flange portion 57 of the action plate 56 rearward, and the action plate 56 moves rearward. For this reason, the pressing of the projection plate 43c on the connecting member 43 of the first movable member 41 by the action plate 56 is released, and the first movable member 41 is locked to the locking collar portion 44a. It is pulled by the elastic force of the first pivot 46 and swings upward about the first pivot axis 46 to enter the second state in which the “eye” is opened. Further, when the slide member 31 moves from the first position to the second position, the toothless gear 62 that meshes with the gear portion 34 formed on the slide member 31 is swung and connected to the toothless gear 62. In addition, the second movable member 60 is swung counterclockwise about the connection support shaft 61, so that the "mouth" is opened (see FIG. 6B).
[0038]
When the motor 28 is further driven to rotate the cam member 29, the slide member 31 moves from the second position to the first position (see FIG. 5 (c) → (a)). At this time, since the first flange portion 32a of the slide member 31 presses the first support shaft 53a of the arm member 51 upward, the arm member 51 moves upward about the second pivot 54 (counterclockwise in FIG. 7). The second flange 57 of the working plate 56 is pushed forward by the second support shaft 53b of the arm member 51 and moves forward. For this reason, the protrusion 43c of the connecting member 43 of the first movable member 41 is pressed forward by the protruding piece 58 of the action plate 56, and the first movable member 41 is subjected to the elastic force of the spring member 36. As a result, the first pivot 46 is pivoted downward about the first pivot 46 to enter the first state in which the “eye” is closed. At this time, the toothless gear 62 connected to the second movable member 60 is swung by the gear portion 34 formed on the slide member 31, so that the second movable member 60 is also centered on the connection support shaft 61. It swings upward and returns to the first state in which the “mouth” is closed (see FIG. 6A).
[0039]
In this way, by swinging the first and second movable members 41, 60, it is possible to improve the visual effect and increase the interest of the game. At this time, since the first and second movable members 41, 60 can be driven simultaneously by driving a single motor 28, the number of parts required for assembling the auxiliary effect device 20 can be reduced. Thus, the apparatus itself can be reduced in size, and an increase in cost due to the arrangement of a plurality of motors 28 can be prevented. Further, since the first and second movable members 41 and 60 can be operated only by controlling the single motor 28, it is possible to easily control the operation of each movable member 41 and 60. Further, since the first pivot 46 of the first movable member 41 and the connecting support shaft 61 of the second movable member 60 are extended in different directions (left-right direction and front-rear direction), the first and second movable Since the members 41 and 60 are swung in different directions, the visual presentation effect can be further improved and the interest of the game can be increased.
[0040]
Further, since the shaft portion 29b of the cam member 29 and the guide piece 32b of the slide member 31 are inserted into the prepared hole portion 25 and the guide hole 23 of the main body portion 21 (base portion 22), the slide member 31 is securely attached. Can be reciprocated on a straight line connecting the lower hole portion 25 and the guide hole 23. Further, since the base portion 62a of the toothless gear 62 is inserted into the upper hole portion 24 of the main body portion 21 (base portion 22), the toothless gear 62 is swung by the gear portion 34 of the slide member 31. At this time, the toothless gear 62 can be swung at a fixed position. Furthermore, since the slide member 31 and the main body portion 21 (the base portion 22 and the support plate portion 26) are brought into contact with each other through the protrusions 31a formed on the slide member 31, both members 21, 31 are provided. The contact area becomes smaller, and the slide member 31 can be smoothly reciprocated. Since the elastic force of the spring member 36 is used as the means for swinging the first movable member 41 of the auxiliary effect device 20, the first structure can be used without using a complicated structure such as a link mechanism or a crank mechanism. The movable member 41 can be swung, and the configuration of the apparatus 20 can be simplified by reducing the number of parts. Further, since the rear end of the spring member 36 is locked to the boss portion 48d formed on the right half 48 of the case body 47, there is no need to newly provide a member for locking the spring member 36.
[0041]
[Example of change]
In addition, as a structure of an auxiliary | assistant effect apparatus, it is not restricted to the thing of an Example, A various change is possible. For example, although the slide member is reciprocated via the cam member, various conversion means for converting the rotational motion of the crank mechanism or the like into linear motion can be employed. The driving means is not limited to a motor, and various rotary actuators such as a rotary solenoid, and linear actuators such as a linearly driven solenoid and cylinder can be used.
[0042]
Then, the first and second movable members are respectively swung, but by combining the connecting portion of the slide member and the transmission means of the first and second movable members as required, A linear motion or the like can be performed, and the operation direction can be changed as required. Further, the number of movable members provided in the auxiliary effect device is not limited to two, and three or more movable members may be provided to cause each movable member to perform a required operation. In the embodiment, a liquid crystal-type symbol display device is arranged on the decorative member to perform the main game effect. However, any display may be used as long as the symbol is variably displayed such as a drum type or a belt type. Further, the gaming machine in which the auxiliary effecting device is arranged is not limited to a pachinko machine, and may be an arrange ball machine or the like, as long as it has a decorative member facing the symbol display device that performs the main gaming effect.
