In addition, although the front side part of the 1st expansion part 55b is adjoining to the light emission cover 52, and the part except this front side part are the expansion | deployment shape, it is made to expand similarly in substantially the whole periphery. Also good.

  The second widened portion 55c is provided on both the left and right sides of the first widened portion 55b, and has a substantially triangular shape so as to be bundled at the boundary portion between the upper surface portion 35 and the front surface portion 36 of the upper plate cover 12. Yes. Note that metal plating or the like is also applied to the upper surface of the second expanded portion 55c in the same manner as the reflective surface 55e of the first expanded portion 55b. Therefore, the light from the light emitting cover 52 is not reflected when viewed from above the axial direction of the rotary shaft 50, but when viewed from the left and right oblique directions, the light emitting cover 52 is formed by the second widened portion 55c in that direction. The light is reflected.

  The main body frame 57 of the rotating lamp unit 49 is close to the front wall portion 92 of the ball supply tray 8, and the holding frame 56 is arranged in a slight gap between the main body frame 57 and the front wall portion 92. . The holding frame 56 is substantially U-shaped or substantially U-shaped across the left and right sides of the surrounding case 68 from the rear side of the surrounding case 68 through the left and right shoulders 69. A rear abutting portion 56a that abuts against the shoulder portion 69 from the rear side, and a holding portion 56b that projects from the left and right ends of the rear abutting portion 56a to the front side and holds the surrounding case 68 from both the left and right sides. And the attaching part 56c of the outer side of each holding part 56b is being fixed to the attachment boss | hub 37a which protrudes back from the unit mounting part 37 of the top plate cover 12 with a screw | thread.

  As shown in FIGS. 7, 11, and 12, the main body frame 57 and the holding frame 56 are detachably engaged in the front-rear direction, and the relative movement in the axial direction of the rotary shafts 50 of both of them. In particular, a first engagement means 94 and a second engagement means 95 are provided for restricting relative movement when the light emitting cover 52 is pressed. The first engaging means 94 is formed on the left and right engaging protrusions 94a protruding rearward from the surrounding case 68 and the rear abutting portion 56a of the holding frame 56, and the engaging protrusions 94a can be freely engaged and disengaged from the front side. And an engaging recess 94b to be engaged.

  The second engaging means 95 includes an engaging protrusion 95a that protrudes outward from the shoulder 69 and inclines forward and downward, and is formed in the holding portion 56b so as to expand forward, and the engaging protrusion 95a is detachably engaged from the front side. Engaging recess 95b. The engaging protrusions 94a and 95a constitute an engaging portion, and the engaging concave portions 94b and 95b constitute an engaged portion. However, the concave-convex relationship between the engaging portion and the engaged portion may be reversed. .

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 13, the rotating lamp unit 49 and the ball supply tray 8 are engaged with each other in a detachable manner in the front-rear direction so that the rotating lamp unit 49 moves downward relative to each other. A third engagement means 96 for regulating is provided. The third engagement means 96 is formed on the front surface of the front wall portion 92 of the ball supply tray 8 and the engagement protrusion 96a engages from the upper side. And a recess 96b.

  Between the ball supply tray 8 and the holding frame 56, as shown in FIGS. 4, 6, and 13, a pair of left and right fourth engagement means 97 that restricts the relative movement of the holding frame 56 downward. Is provided. Each of the fourth engagement means 97 is formed on the front surface of the front wall portion 92 of the ball supply tray 8 and the engagement protrusion 97a that protrudes rearward from the rear contact portion 56a of the holding frame 56. Is provided with an engaging recess 97b that engages from above.

  The engaging protrusions 96a and 97a constitute an engaging portion, and the engaging concave portions 96b and 97b constitute an engaged portion. However, the concavo-convex relationship between the engaging portion and the engaged portion may be reversed. .

  In this pachinko machine 1, when the normal symbol starting means 21 detects a game ball, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display means 25 fluctuates for a predetermined time and stops in either the hit mode or the off mode. If the normal symbol is a winning mode, the open / close type winning opening 22b of the special symbol starting means 22 is opened for a predetermined time.

  When a game ball wins one of the two upper and lower winning holes 22a, 22b of the special symbol starting means 22, the special symbol of the special symbol display means 26 fluctuates for a predetermined time, and the image is synchronized with the fluctuation of the special symbol. The effect symbols 32a to 32c of the display means 20 vary in a predetermined effect symbol variation pattern.

  When the special symbol starting means 22 detects a game ball, for example, if the special symbol after the change is a big hit mode and a special jackpot where a special gaming state occurs is drawn, the image is changed during the change of the special symbol. When two effect symbols 32a and 32c among the effect symbols 32a to 32c displayed on the display means 20 are reached to display the same symbol, in addition to the effect symbols 32a to 32c, as shown in FIG. An operation instruction image 33 for instructing operation of the rotating lamp 14 is displayed on the image display means 20.

  When the operation instruction image 33 is displayed, if the player presses the light emitting cover 52 at an appropriate timing, the rotating light 14 rotates and emits red light, and then the special symbol stops in a big hit mode and the special game. A notice effect is given to notice that the condition will occur. In addition, the rotation light emission by the revolving light 14 may be continued until the special game state ends when the special game state occurs thereafter. When the special symbol after the change is in a detachment mode, it may be stopped at the same time as the end of the change of the special symbol or before or after the end of the change.

  The revolving lamp 14 is not normally emitting light and is in a stopped state. The light emitting cover 52 is urged upward by a return spring 74, the lower end of the reflection cover 55 is fitted in the circumferential groove 75 and is in contact with the bottom wall 75a, and the detection switch 53 is in a non-detection state. .

  Thus, when the player presses the spherical surface portion 52b of the light emitting cover 52 downward in the direction of the arrow a in FIG. 7 with his / her palm, the player moves against the return spring 74 while being guided by the sliding member 77 and the through hole 78. The ring 76 and the light emitting cover 52 are integrally lowered in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 50. When the light emitting cover 52 is lowered by a predetermined amount, the position detection piece 83 on the lower side of the movable ring 76 enters the detection switch 53 as shown in FIG. 15, and the detection switch 53 detects the position detection piece 83. A rotation emission command is issued.

  When the movable ring 76 is lowered by the pressing of the light emitting cover 52, the lower end of the movable ring 76 comes into contact with the step portion 80 of the surrounding case 68 substantially uniformly as shown in FIG. Therefore, the detection switch 53 or the position detection piece 83 can be prevented from being damaged. As described above, by incorporating the detection switch 53 in the rotating lamp 14 and using the light emitting cover 52 as a pressing operation unit for operating the detecting switch 53, the use of the rotating lamp 14 can be diversified as compared with the conventional case. Can be planned.

  In addition, the light emitting cover 52 has a spherical portion 52b at the upper end, and the reflection cover 55 has a first widened portion 55b and a second widened portion 55c. The spherical surface protrudes upward at the center portion thereof. Since there is the portion 52b, the light emitting cover 52 can be easily operated from the upper side. Further, since the reflection cover 55 and the light emission cover 52 are disposed to be inclined forward and upward on the unit mounting portion 37 of the upper plate cover 12, the light emission cover 52 can be easily operated by pressing in terms of angle.

  When there is a rotation light emission signal from the detection switch 53, each light emitter 71 of the light source 59 emits light, and the drive motor 88 of the drive means 62 is activated to rotate through the drive gear 89, the driven gear 90, and the rotation shaft 50. The reflecting plate 61 rotates integrally with the disc 60 around the rotation axis 50 in the direction indicated by the arrow b in FIG. That is, the rotating light emitting unit 51 enters a rotating light emitting state in which light is emitted while rotating.

  When each light emitter 71 of the light source 59 emits light, most of the light from each light emitter 71 is irradiated upward along the rotation axis 50 while being condensed through the ring-shaped light condensing portion 72 of the rotating disk 60, Further, the light that has deviated from the light condensing unit 72 is transmitted upward through the rotating disk 60 and is irradiated upward. In this case, most of the light that has passed through the rotating disk 60 is collected in a substantially cylindrical shape around the rotation shaft 50 by the light collecting action of the ring-shaped light collecting portion 72.

  Of the light transmitted through the condensing part 72 of the rotating disk 60 or the vicinity thereof, the light corresponding to the reflecting plate 61 is reflected outwardly in the radial direction by the reflecting surface 73 and the peripheral wall of the light emitting cover 52. The light from the inner peripheral surface of the portion 52 a and the portion of the light that is off the reflector 61 is irradiated to the inner peripheral surface of the spherical portion 52 b of the light emitting cover 52, and the irradiation position thereof is the rotation axis 50 as the reflector 61 rotates. Rotate around. For this reason, in the peripheral wall portion 52a and the spherical surface portion 52b of the light emitting cover 52, the portion irradiated with light emits red light and the light-shielded portion becomes dark. Rotate in the direction of arrow b.

  Accordingly, the light emitting cover 52 is rotated and emitted by reflecting the light from the light source 59 outward in the radial direction while rotating the reflecting plate 61 having the concave reflecting surface 73 around the rotation axis 50. Accordingly, the spherical portion 52b of the light emitting cover 52 can emit light, and there is an advantage that the staging effect when viewed from the outside in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 50 is further improved. For this reason, also when arrange | positioning the rotating light 14, the direction can be selected freely.

  In particular, each light emitter 71 of the light source 59 is located at a position distant from the rotation shaft 50 to the outer peripheral side, and the cover 61 a that covers a part of the light emitters 71 is provided on the distal end side of the reflection plate 61. Compared with the case where the light is concentrated on the central portion 50, the light from the light emitting body 71 is directly irradiated onto the spherical portion 52 b of the light emitting cover 52 and the cover 61 a of the reflecting plate 61 is blocked and irradiated onto the spherical portion 52 b. The difference from the part that does not become clear becomes clear, and the rotational light emission on the spherical surface part 52b side can be made clear.

  And since the light from each light-emitting body 71 is condensed through the ring-shaped condensing part 72 of the rotating disc 60, although there is a distance from the light source 59 to the spherical surface part 52b of the light emitting cover 52, Light diffusion can be prevented, and rotational light emission on the spherical portion 52b side can be made clear.

  Further, the rotating lamp 14 is arranged at a position that is much lower than the height of the player's eyes because the light emitting cover 52 also serves as a pressing operation unit, and the player views the rotating lamp 14 downward from above. However, by rotating the light emission on the spherical surface 52b side of the light-emitting cover 52 in this way, the operability when the light-emitting cover 52 is pressed is easily ensured without impairing the rotational light emission performance of the rotating lamp 14. can do.

  Furthermore, a funnel-shaped reflective cover 55 is provided on the outer periphery of the peripheral wall portion 52a of the light emitting cover 52, and a first expanding portion 55b receives the light from the peripheral wall portion 52a of the light emitting cover 52 and reflects it upward. Therefore, when viewed from above in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 50, as shown in FIG. 16, the region indicated by the oblique line X on the spherical surface portion 52b side and the reflection of the first expanded portion 55b on the outer periphery thereof. The area indicated by the oblique line Y on the surface 55e side rotates and emits light. Accordingly, the rotational light emission region can be enlarged as compared with the structure in which the side surface of the peripheral wall portion 52a of the light emission cover 52 is rotated.

  The reflective cover 55 on the outer periphery of the light emitting cover 52 has a funnel shape having a first widened portion 55b and a second widened portion 55c on the upper side of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 55a, and the reflective cover 55 allows a liquid such as water to flow therethrough. Although it has an easy structure, even if there is such a mischief, it can be received by the circumferential groove 75 and discharged downward from the front discharge port 79, so that the liquid enters the surrounding case 68 of the main body frame 57, etc. There is no such thing.

  Further, the small diameter cylindrical portion 55a of the reflection cover 55 is fitted in the circumferential groove 75 on the outer periphery of the light emitting cover 52, and the labyrinth is formed by the reflection cover 55 and the circumferential groove 75. Even if an unauthorized member is inserted through the gap between the circumferential member 52 and the circumferential groove 75, the insertion of the unauthorized member can be prevented. For this reason, fraud can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the fitting amount between the outer peripheral wall 75b of the circumferential groove 75 and the cylindrical portion 55a of the reflecting cover 55 is larger than the moving amount of the light emitting cover 52 at the time of the pressing operation, FIG. As shown, the lower end of the cylindrical portion 55 a of the reflective cover 55 does not come off from the circumferential groove 75. Therefore, even if a liquid is poured through the reflective cover 55 or an illegal member is inserted between the light emitting cover 52 and the reflective cover 55, the liquid can be discharged from the discharge port 79, and the illegal member is inserted. Can be prevented.

  The revolving lamp 14 is on the front side of the ball supply tray 8 and is disposed in the unit mounting portion 37 on the front end side of the upper plate cover 12 that covers the ball supply tray 8 from the front side. There is a possibility that a strong external force may be applied to the light emitting cover 52 in the pressing direction, such as illegally pushing down the lamp, but even in such a case, the rotating lamp 14 can be reliably supported to prevent damage or the like. Can do.

  This is because the rotating lamp unit 49 fixes the upper body frame 57 to the upper plate cover 12 via the holding frame 56, and fixes the lower end contact member 65 to the lower plate cover 13 from the back side. Since the contact body 65 is in contact with the bottom walls 42a to 42c of the lower plate cover 13 from the upper side, it can sufficiently resist the downward external force applied to the rotary lamp unit 49 from the light emitting cover 52 side.

  In addition, the upper body frame 57 of the rotating lamp unit 49 is held by the holding frame 56 from the back side, and the left and right sides of the holding frame 56 are fixed to the upper plate cover 12 from the back side by screws or the like. There is no need to directly fix the rotating lamp unit 49 to the upper plate cover 12, and no external force is applied to the upper plate cover 12 when the light emitting cover 52 is pressed.

  Although the holding frame 56 holds the surrounding case 68 of the main body frame 57, the holding frame 56 and the main body frame 57 are brought into an engaged state via the first engaging means 94 and the second engaging means 95. Therefore, relative movement in the pressing direction between the holding frame 56 and the main body frame 57 can also be prevented.

  Further, a third engagement means 96 is provided between the upper end portion of the rotating lamp unit 49, particularly the reflective cover 55 and the ball supply tray 8, and a pair of left and right fourth engagements between the holding frame 65 and the ball supply tray 8. Since the means 97 is provided, and the downward movement of the rotating lamp unit 49 is regulated by the ball supply tray 8 through these means 97, the stability of the rotating lamp unit 49 can be improved.

  17 and 18 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the light source 59 has a plurality of light emitters 71 arranged on the upper surface of the light emitting substrate 70 in a circumferential direction substantially concentrically with respect to the rotation shaft 50 at a predetermined interval. The rotating disk 60 is light transmissive, and a convex lens-shaped condensing part 72 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the rotating disk 60 on the substantially same circumference as the light emitter 71 at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction. The number of light collecting portions 72 is the same as the number of the light emitters 71 and may be smaller or larger than that of the light emitters 71. Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment.

  In this case, each time the light collecting portion 72 of the rotating disk 60 corresponds to the light emitter 71, the light collecting portion 72 condenses the light from the light emitting body 71, and the space between the light collecting portions 72 of the rotating disk 60 is between. When it corresponds to the light emitter 71, the light from the light emitter 71 diffuses. For this reason, while repeating condensing (bright state) and diffusion (dark state) with the rotation of the rotating disk 60, the light irradiates the peripheral wall 52a of the light emitting cover 52 from the reflecting surface 73 of the reflecting plate 61, Irradiation is also performed on the spherical portion 52 b of the light emitting cover 52 without being shielded by the reflecting plate 61. However, since the rotating disk 60 itself has a light transmitting property and there is a sufficient distance until the light transmitted through the rotating disk 60 irradiates the light emitting cover 52, the rotational light emission is extremely caused by light collection and diffusion. There will be no disturbance.

  19 and 20 illustrate a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the rotating disk 60 is light transmissive, and a plurality of arc-shaped condensing portions 72 that are long in the circumferential direction are arranged on the upper surface of the rotating disk 60 on the substantially same circumference as the light-emitting body 71 at a predetermined interval. In addition to being provided, a light shielding portion 60 a in the form of a film or a sheet is formed in a portion other than the light collecting portion 72. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the condensing part 72 in the radial direction is a convex lens shape. Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Thus, the light condensing part 72 may be configured in an arc shape. Further, by providing the light shielding part 60a in a portion other than the light condensing part 72 of the rotating disk 60, when the light shielding part 62a corresponds to the light emitting body 71, the light from the light emitting body 71 can be shielded by the light shielding part 60a. As the disk 60 rotates, the difference between the bright state and the dark state can be clarified.

  FIG. 21 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the reflection cover 55 includes a first expanding portion 55b and a second expanding portion 55c on the upper side of the cylindrical portion 55a, and the angle of the first expanding portion 55b is greater than the angle of the second expanding portion 55c. The concave reflecting surface 55e is formed on the inner peripheral side of both the spread portions 55b and 55c. Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment.

  In this way, since the substantially concave reflecting surface 55e can be formed by the widened portions 55b and 55c of the reflecting cover 55, the rotational light emission of the light emitting cover 52 can be enlarged and displayed over the entire reflecting surface 55e. In this case, the concave reflecting surface 55e formed by the widened portions 55b and 55c is bent halfway, but the concave reflecting surface 55e is configured by a continuously changing curved surface. Also good.

  FIG. 22 illustrates a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the reflection cover 55 includes a trumpet-shaped first expanding portion 55b that expands upward in a convex shape on the upper side of the cylindrical portion 55a, and is concave on the inner peripheral side of the first expanding portion 55b. A reflective surface 55e is formed. Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment.

  In this way, since the substantially convex reflecting surface 55e can be constituted by the first expanding portion 55b of the reflecting cover 55, the reflecting surface 55e reflects the light of the light emitting cover 52 in a ring shape. Therefore, a ring-shaped rotating light emitting region is formed on the outer periphery of the light emitting cover 52 that emits light. In this case, the convex reflecting surface 55e constituted by the first expanding portion 55b may be constituted by a large number of bent surfaces.

  FIG. 23 illustrates a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a unit mounting portion 37 that is recessed slightly lower than the left and right sides is provided in the front upper portion of the upper plate cover 12, and the rotating lamp unit 49 is disposed on the unit mounting portion 37 so as to face upward. The mouth member 99 has a cylindrical portion 55a that is fitted to the outer periphery of the light emitting cover 52 with a slight gap, and a fitting edge 55f that is formed at the upper end of the cylindrical portion 55a. The dish cover 12 is fitted into the opening 54. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  In this case, the mouth member 99 does not include an enlarged portion having the reflecting surface 73, and the light emitting cover 52 protrudes upward from the upper end of the cylindrical portion 55a. In response to the light, the peripheral wall portion 52a and the spherical surface portion 52b of the light emitting cover 52 rotate and emit light. Therefore, a mouth member 99 having no reflecting surface 55e may be provided on the outer periphery of the light emitting cover 52.

  24 and 25 illustrate a seventh embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the rotating lamp 14 is mounted on the front decoration frame 30 of the image display means 20 of the game board 17 so as to face upward. The image display means 20 includes an image display unit 28 and a front decoration frame 30, and the front decoration frame 30 is provided with a recessed unit mounting portion 37 on one side on the one side of the image display unit 28. A rotating lamp unit 49 is disposed on the mounting portion 37 so as to face upward.

  The rotating lamp unit 49 includes a first case 100 and a second case 101 coupled in the direction of the rotation axis 50. A rotating disk 60 that supports the reflecting plate 61 is disposed in the first case 100. A light emitting cover 52 and a reflective cover 55 are fixed on one case 100. The second case 101 has an upper bottom portion 63a, a light source 59 is disposed on the upper bottom portion 63a, and a cylindrical portion 63b that supports the rotating shaft 50 is provided at the center of the upper bottom portion 63a. The rotating shaft 50 is rotationally driven by driving means 62 including a driving motor 88 on the lower end side.

  The reflective cover 55 includes a cylindrical portion 55a fitted to the base of the light emitting cover 52, a first expanded portion 55b that expands upward from the cylindrical portion 55a, and a fitting edge 55f on the outer periphery of the upper end of the first expanded portion 55b. The reflecting surface 73 reflects the rotational light emission of the light emission cover 52 of the first widened portion 55b forward and upward. The fitting edge 55 f of the reflection cover 55 is fitted and fixed to the opening 54 formed in the front decorative plate 30 a of the unit mounting portion 37 of the front decorative frame 30.

  The configurations of the rotating light emitting means 51 including the rotating disk 60 and the reflecting plate 61, the light source 59, and the like are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment. The light emitting cover 52 is fixed, and the operation of the detection switch 53 is not shared. The revolving light 14 may be arranged at other locations of the front decoration frame 30.

  As described above, even when the rotating lamp 14 is mounted on the front decoration frame 30 of the image display means 20 of the game board 17, if the rotating light emitting means 51 flashes while rotating, the peripheral wall portion 52 a of the light emitting cover 52, the spherical surface Each of the portions 52b rotates and the reflection light 55e of the light emission cover 52 reflects the rotation light of the peripheral wall portion 52a forward and upward.

  Accordingly, as in the first embodiment, when the rotating lamp 14 side is viewed from above in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 50, the spherical surface portion 52b of the light emitting cover 52 emits light and the peripheral wall portion 52a emits light. Since the reflection surface 55e of the reflection cover 55 reflects forward and upward, it can be rotated and emitted in an enlarged state.

  FIG. 26 illustrates an eighth embodiment of the present invention. The rotating lamp unit 49 is mounted on the front decorative plate 30a of the front decorative frame 30 of the image display means 20 so as to face upward. The light emitting cover 52 is integrally provided with a peripheral wall portion 52a and an upper spherical surface portion 52b, and is fixed to the upper side of the case 103 constituting the support member via a reflective cover 55. The reflection cover 55 has a fitting edge 55f at the upper end fitted into the opening 54 of the front decorative board 30a.

  The reflection cover 55 has a tapered shape that expands substantially concentrically toward the fitting edge 55 f, and the lower end side is fixed on the case 103 at the outer periphery of the rotating disk 60. The inner periphery of the reflection cover 55 is a reflection surface 55 e that reflects the rotational light emission of the rotary light emitting means 51 toward the spherical surface portion 52 b of the light emission cover 52. The reflection plate 61 receives light from the light emitting body 71 of the light source 59 by the reflection surface 73 and reflects it to the peripheral wall portion 52 a side of the light emission cover 52 through the reflection surface 55 e of the reflection cover 55.

  In this embodiment as well, the light emitting cover 52 is fixed on the case 103 and does not serve as a pressing operation unit, so there is no detection switch 53 or the like. Other configurations of the rotating light emitting means 51, the light source 59 and the like are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment. The reflection plate 61 may be configured to reflect light directly to the peripheral wall portion 52a side of the light emitting cover 52 at the reflection surface 73 on the front end side.

  Also in this case, if the rotating light emitting means 51 rotates and blinks, the peripheral wall portion 52a and the spherical surface portion 52b of the light emitting cover 52 rotate and emit light respectively. That is, the reflecting plate 61 receives the light from the light emitting body 71 of the light source 59 by the reflecting surface 73 and reflects it to the peripheral wall portion 52a side of the light emitting cover 52 through the reflecting surface 55e of the reflecting cover 55, so that the peripheral wall portion 52a is reflected. The light from the surface 73 is rotated and emitted. A part of the spherical surface portion 52b is rotated and emitted by the light reflected through the reflecting surface 73 and the reflecting surface 55e and the light directly irradiated without being shielded by the reflecting plate 61. Accordingly, even in such a configuration, when viewed from above in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 50, a wide region of the spherical portion 52b can be rotated and emitted.

  As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to this each embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, the light source 59 provided with a plurality of light emitters 71 in the circumferential direction on the light emitting substrate 70 is used. However, the light source 59 may be configured in a ring shape. The reflection plate 61 may have a flat reflection surface 73 that is inclined with respect to the axis of the rotation shaft 50 in addition to the taper reflection surface 73.

  When the outwardly spreading reflection surface 55 e is provided on the outer periphery of the light emission cover 52, the reflection surface 55 e may be provided substantially concentrically with respect to the light emission cover 52. When the condensing part 72 of the rotating disk 60 is provided continuously in the circumferential direction, it may be configured in a shape other than a simple ring shape, such as being bent in a wave shape inward and outward in the radial direction. Moreover, when providing the several condensing part 72 in the circumferential direction, you may arrange | position each condensing part 72 radially. The reflection surface 55e may be provided not only on the entire circumference of the light emitting cover 52 but also on a part of the circumferential direction.

  The light emitting cover 52 is generally provided with a peripheral wall portion 52a and a spherical surface portion 52b integrally. However, the light emitting cover 52 is provided at the outer peripheral light emitting surface around the axis of the rotating shaft 50 and at the end of the rotating shaft 50 in the axial direction. The outer peripheral light emitting surface and the end light emitting surface may have any shape as long as they are provided with the formed end light emitting surface. However, when the light emitting cover 52 constitutes a pressing operation portion for the detection switch 53, the end light emitting surface side is pressed with a palm or the like.
