A gaming machine according to a third aspect is the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, wherein the display means has a liquid crystal display as a display area.

  Mean 1: In the gaming machine,
  "A game board having a game area into which game media are driven by a player's operation,
  A first movable body disposed within the game area of the game board so as to be visible from a player;
  A first drive unit for moving the first movable body in the vertical direction;
  A second movable body disposed below the first movable body that is moved by the first drive unit and disposed in the game area so as to be visible from a player;
  A second drive unit for moving the second movable body in the vertical direction;
It is characterized by comprising "."

Here, as the “first movable body” and the “second movable body”, “the movable article that is arranged so as to be in contact with the game medium and can change the movement of the game medium”, “the game medium” Are arranged so as not to contact each other, and a decorative movable body capable of producing an effect by movement ". It should be noted that “the first movable body and the second movable body may be a three-dimensional representation of a predetermined character such as a doll or animal shape, or a part or the whole of a building or a vehicle. The movable body and the second movable body are separated as "upper upper and lower jaw from the predetermined character's face", "predetermined character's head and torso", "predetermined character's torso and limbs", "rocket and space. -It is good also as what moves up and down, such as what is docked "," a plurality of elevators and escalators, or people on elevators and escalators "," buildings, plants, and volcanoes ".
The “first drive unit” and the “second drive unit” may be any unit that can move the first movable body and the second movable body in the vertical direction. A member, a guided member guided by the guiding member and holding the first movable body or the second movable body, and a moving means for moving the guided member.

  Further, “being on the game area of the game board” means that it is projected into the game area in the front view, and may be arranged in the game area or in front of the game area. . Further, when a through-hole penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the game area, it may be arranged on the rear side of the game area (the rear side of the game board).

  By the way, in a conventional gaming machine, except for a variable winning device such as an electric tulip or an attack device, there is only one movable movable body (particularly a decorative movable body), and an effect by the movement of the movable body. The operation tends to be monotonous, and some players may get bored and reduce interest.

  According to the structure of the means 1, the 1st movable body and 2nd movable body which move to an up-down direction by a 1st drive unit and a 2nd drive unit are provided so that it can be visually recognized so that it may cover the game area | region of a game board.

  As a result, the first movable body and the second movable body that move in the vertical direction can be brought close to or separated from each other, only one of them can be moved up and down, or both can be moved up and down in the same direction. Since the two movable bodies perform various performance operations, the movable bodies become conspicuous in the gaming machine, and the player can draw attention to those movable bodies, and the rendering operations by the first movable body and the second movable body Can be enjoyed to prevent the interest from deteriorating. In addition, since it has two movable bodies, the first movable body and the second movable body, it is possible to increase the types (variations) of directing operations by combining their respective movements, and to get bored with more entertaining operations. It is difficult to prevent the player's interest from being reduced by the production operation.

  In addition, the first movable body and the second movable body may be part of the predetermined character, so that the predetermined character can be moved by moving the first movable body or the second movable body. If the character is recognized by the player, it can be strongly impressed by the movement of the character, and the player can be entertained and more interesting.

  Further, since the first movable body and the second movable body are moved in the vertical direction, this moves in the vertical direction that is substantially the same as the flow direction of the game medium flowing down the game area. It is easy to move the player's line of sight between the movable body and the second movable body, and it is possible to prevent the player from getting tired early and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

Means 2: In the constitution of means 1,
“The game board further includes a through hole penetrating in the front-rear direction in the game area,
The first movable body and the second movable body are visible to the player through the through hole, and the first drive unit and the second drive unit are attached and fixed to the rear side of the game board. It is characterized by being "

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine, the movable body is arranged in the game area (the front side of the game board) where the game medium is driven and flows down, and in particular, the movable body is brought into contact with the decorative movable body (the game medium). In the case where the game medium does not affect the movement of the game medium), the size and the movable range are small, and the movable body can be made to perform a staging operation because it must be arranged so as not to contact the game medium. The movement is small and difficult to understand, and depending on the player, there is a problem that the movement itself cannot be enjoyed and the interest is lowered.

  In addition, as a part for attaching and fixing the first drive unit and the second drive unit to the game board, the front side and the rear side of the game board can be considered. For example, the first drive unit and the second drive unit Is fixed on the front side of the game board, a mounting space for mounting and fixing the first drive unit and the second drive unit must be secured on the front side of the game board. Since a game area is formed in which game media are driven and flowed down, there is a problem that the game area becomes narrower if the mounting space for the first drive unit and the second drive unit is secured. As a result, the flow range of the game medium is narrowed, so that the movement of the game medium tends to be monotonous, and some players may get bored with the movement of the game medium and reduce the interest.

  Furthermore, the first drive unit and the second drive unit are only for moving the first movable body and the second movable body, and when the player visually recognizes the first drive unit and the second drive unit, There is a risk of giving a complicated impression and reducing interest in the game. Therefore, it is conceivable to cover the first drive unit and the second drive unit with a decorative body, etc., but in this case, since the decorative body that covers them is an essential member, the design of the entire gaming machine will be restricted, Differentiating from other gaming machines may be difficult.

  According to the structure of the means 2, the first drive unit and the second drive unit are attached and fixed to the rear surface side of the game board, and the game board is provided with a through hole, and the first movable body and the second movable body are passed through the through hole. Is made visible to the player.

  As a result, the first movable body and the second movable body are arranged on the side opposite to the side (front side) where the game area of the game board is provided, so compared with the case where the movable body is arranged in the game area. Therefore, there are fewer restrictions on the size and the movable range, and the size of the first movable body and the second movable body should be made as large as possible, or the movable range should be made as large as possible. It is possible to make the first movable body and the second movable body conspicuous so as to make it easy to recognize the effect operation of the movable body, and to prevent the player's interest from being lowered by the effect operation.

  In addition, since the first drive unit and the second drive unit are mounted and fixed on the rear surface side of the game board, the game area is not narrowed for mounting and fixing the first drive unit and the second drive unit. It is possible to secure a sufficient game area, prevent the movement of the game medium from being monotonous, and suppress the decrease in interest.

  The first drive unit and the second drive unit are preferably attached and fixed to the game board so as not to reach the through-hole, thereby making it difficult for the player to see the first drive unit and the second drive unit. Since the first drive unit and the second drive unit can be seen, it is possible to prevent a complicated impression from being seen, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest.

Means 3: In the constitution of means 1 or means 2,
“The first movable body and the second movable body are arranged so as to be able to appear and retract on the front side, and further include an effect display means capable of displaying a predetermined effect mode”.

  Here, the “predetermined presentation mode” is a display mode in which a character, background, design, and the like are used as a still image or a moving image to make a certain movement or display with a story. “Character” means an image other than a graphic sequence and background, and is created for characters such as novels, comics, movies, and plays, animals, plants, or props, or this game machine. Virtual persons, animals, plants, or props. Further, the “symbol” is a design for presentation made up of numbers, symbols, or a combination of them with a picture.

  In addition, as “effect display means”, “liquid crystal display (LCD)”, “CRT”, “dot matrix”, “light emitting diode (LED)”, “7 segment LED”, “electroluminescence (EL)”, “Fluorescent display tube”, “incandescent lamp”, “plasma display (PDP)”, “laser display”, and the like.

  By the way, when the first movable body and the second movable body are arranged on the front side of the effect display means, the effect mode displayed on the effect display means is blocked by the first movable body and the second movable body, It becomes difficult to recognize the whole, and it may be difficult to see, and the interest of the player may be reduced.

  According to the structure of the means 3, it further has an effect display means, and the first movable body and the second movable body are allowed to move freely on the front side of the effect display means. Thereby, since the 1st movable body and the 2nd movable body move in the up-and-down direction in the front side of an effect display means, it can be set as an unprecedented gaming machine which intercepts an effect mode with a movable body, Differentiating from gaming machines, it is possible to expect an effect that attracts the player's interest.

  In addition, the rendering operations of the first movable body and the second movable body can be associated with the rendering mode displayed on the rendering display means, whereby the first movable body, the second movable body, and the rendering mode are integrated. It becomes possible to provide the player with an unprecedented production, and it can be expected to have an effect of dramatically increasing the impact of appearance, which can be more interesting.

  Further, when the player wants to show the effect mode of the effect display means, the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved from the front side of the effect display means to the position where the first movable body and It is possible to prevent the production mode from being obstructed by the second movable body, and to ensure that the player can visually recognize the entire production mode and to prevent the player's interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, with respect to the effect display means, the position where the first movable body and the second movable body are sunk may be such that both the movable bodies are sunk on the upper side or the lower side. The second movable body may be sunk downward on the upper side.

Means 4: In the configuration of means 3,
“The first drive unit that cantilever-supports the first movable body is disposed outside either the left or right side of the effect display means,
The second drive unit that cantilever-supports the second movable body is disposed outside either the left or right side of the effect display means ”.

  By the way, as a method of supporting the movable bodies in order to move them, a method of supporting and moving them at the center of the movable body (for example, the center in the left-right direction) or a method of supporting and moving them at the left and right ends of the movable body. Can be considered. However, when it is supported at the center of the movable body, the drive unit for moving the movable body is arranged at the center, and the drive unit can be seen and give a complicated impression. There is a problem that gets in the way of installation.

  On the other hand, when it is supported at both ends of the movable body, the drive unit is distributed on both sides with respect to one movable body, and the drive unit is enlarged and the parts on both sides supporting the movable body are synchronized with each other. Therefore, there is a problem in that the configuration becomes complicated and the degree of freedom of installation in the gaming machine is reduced or the cost is increased.

  In general, the length of the drive unit that moves the movable body tends to increase as the amount of movement of the movable body increases. Therefore, when the drive unit is arranged above or below the effect display means so that the movable body moves on the front side of the effect display means, the installation space above or below the effect display means is relatively small. Since only a short drive unit can be installed, the amount of movement of the movable body is reduced, and it is difficult to make a movement that impresses the player.

  According to the configuration of the means 4, the first drive unit and the second drive unit cantilever-support the first movable body and the second movable body, respectively, and the first drive unit is placed outside either the left or right of the effect display means. The second drive unit is disposed outside either the left or right side.

  Thereby, since the first movable body and the second movable body are cantilevered respectively, the first drive is compared with the case where both ends of the first movable body and the second movable body are supported. The configuration of the unit and the second drive unit can be simplified, the first drive unit and the second drive unit can be prevented from increasing in size, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be relative to each other. It is possible to increase the size of the first movable body and the second movable body so that the player is conspicuous, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be easily recognized. The production can be enjoyed.

  Furthermore, since the first drive unit and the second drive unit are arranged on the left and right outside of the effect display means, the effect mode displayed on the effect display means by the first drive unit and the second drive unit is prevented from being blocked. It is possible to make the player surely see the entire production mode, and to prevent the first drive unit and the second drive unit and the production display means from interfering with each other. It can be a gaming machine that is enhanced.

  In addition, since the first drive unit and the second drive unit are arranged on the left and right outer sides of the effect display means, the length of the first drive unit and the second drive unit is at least the length of the effect display means in the vertical direction. Can be secured, and can be made longer than the case where the first drive unit and the second drive unit are arranged on the upper side or the lower side of the effect display means. The amount of movement of the movable body can be increased so that the player can stand out, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be enjoyed to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating.

Means 5: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 4,
“The first movable body has an external shape that is three-dimensionally shaped from the upper jaw of the face of the predetermined character,
The second movable body is characterized in that the lower jaw part of the face of the predetermined character has a three-dimensional shape.

  Here, the “predetermined character” is an anthropomorphic of characters, animals, plants, tools (including vehicles), etc. for novels, comics, movies, theaters, etc., or created for this game machine Anthropomorphized virtual person, animal, plant, or tool (including vehicle).

  According to the configuration of the means 5, the first movable body is a part above the upper jaw of the predetermined character, and the second movable body is the lower jaw part of the predetermined character. Accordingly, the face of the predetermined character is expressed by the first movable body and the second movable body, and the first movable body and the second movable body are moved in the same direction by the first drive unit and the second drive unit. When moved, the face of the predetermined character moves up and down, the face of the predetermined character can freely appear and disappear, and the appearance of the face of the predetermined character can impact the player, It can be more interesting.

  In addition, by moving the first movable body and the second movable body toward and away from each other by the first drive unit and the second drive unit, the mouth of the predetermined character is closed or opened. It is possible to entertain the player by the movement of his mouth and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

Means 6: In the configuration of means 5,
“The first movable body and the second movable body move relative to each other in a direction approaching or separating from each other by the first drive unit and the second drive unit”.

  According to the structure of the means 6, the first movable unit and the second movable unit are made to approach or separate from each other by the first drive unit and the second drive unit. Thereby, it is possible to make the mouth of the predetermined character close and open, and it is possible to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by making the player entertained by the movement.

  Also, by moving the first movable body and the second movable body, the movement of the predetermined character's mouth is packed, so if it is configured to output predetermined voice and music according to the movement, It is possible to produce a high-impact performance as if a predetermined character is speaking or singing, entertaining the player, and enhancing the interest.

  Furthermore, on the effect display means arranged behind the first movable body and the second movable body, display an effect mode such as a design sandwiched between the first movable body and the second movable body as seen from the player, In accordance with the movement of the first movable body and the second movable body, the size and shape of the displayed symbols and the like may be changed. In other words, it is possible to produce an effect in which the symbol displayed on the effect display means is bitten or eaten by the mouth of the predetermined character expressed by the first movable body and the second movable body. Can entertain and enhance the interest.

Means 7: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 6,
“The first drive unit and the second drive unit are
A guide member extending in the vertical direction;
A guided member that is guided and guided by the guide member and cantilever-holds the first movable body or the second movable body;
Moving means for reciprocating the guided member in a state guided and guided by the guiding member;
The moving means and at least the guide member are supported, and a base having an upper mounting contact surface for mounting and fixing to the game board is provided.

  Here, the “guide member” may be any member that can guide the guided member in a predetermined direction, such as “a cross-sectional shape that is circular or polygonal and continuously extending in a predetermined direction”, “a cross-sectional shape that is circular. A shape or a polygonal shape that extends discontinuously in a predetermined direction (arranged at a predetermined interval). Examples of the “guidance guidance” include guidance guided when the guiding member and the guided member slide relative to each other, guidance guided when one of them rolls, and the like. Examples of the material of the “induction member” include “resin”, “metal”, “ceramics”, “composite material such as glass fiber reinforced resin and carbon fiber reinforced resin”, and the like.

  Further, as the “moving means”, “having a pulley including a sprocket arranged away from the extending direction of the guide member and a belt including a chain wound around the pulley, and moves together with the belt by the rotation of the pulley. "A thing to be moved", "A screw member extending in the extending direction of the guide member and a nut member screwed to the screw member and moved by rotating the screw member and the nut member relative to each other", "Guide Examples thereof include a solenoid having a plunger that moves forward and backward in the extending direction of the member, or a cylinder that has a piston, and a “moving by a linear motor that extends in the extending direction of the guiding member”. When a belt or chain is used as the moving means, the moving speed can be increased and the impact can be increased. Further, when a screw member or the like is used as the moving means, the positioning accuracy is high and a delicate movement can be performed.

  Furthermore, examples of the “base” material include “resin”, “metal”, “ceramics”, “composite material such as glass fiber reinforced resin and carbon fiber reinforced resin”, and the like. Note that the rigidity of the material used for the base is desirably higher than the rigidity of the material used for the first support member and the second support member. In addition, when the material is a metal, “a material using a plate material having a predetermined thickness”, “a material obtained by bending a plate material having a predetermined thickness into a predetermined shape”, “a mold material having a predetermined cross-sectional shape is used. Thing ", etc. are mentioned. In addition, when a sheet material (for example, sheet metal) is bent as the base, the base can be made to have a higher rigidity by a bent portion than a single plate base, and can be manufactured at a low cost.

  By the way, when a base for supporting a moving means for moving a movable body, a guide member, or the like is attached to the game board, in general, in order to increase the mounting strength, the game board and the base are provided over the entire length of the base. And the base are attached using screws or the like at more positions. However, for example, the surface of the game board and the base may not match due to differences in dimensional tolerances or processing errors of the game board or base, and if the base is attached and fixed to the game board in that state, the base or game board will be There is a risk that it will be distorted, or rattling will occur and the mounting strength will decrease, causing problems.

  In addition, there are various possible positions for the mounting contact surface on the base, but when the mounting contact surface is disposed on either the left or right side of the base, the mounting contact surface that is mounted on the game board. The center of gravity of the base is placed at a position that is greatly decentered in the left and right directions, and the mounting contact surface and screws for mounting are not only subject to the weight applied to the base but also to the rotational moment due to the eccentricity of the center of gravity. There is a problem in that a screw or the like cannot endure due to the force and the base cannot be fixed, or the base (mounting contact surface) is deformed to cause a problem.

  Further, when the mounting contact surface is arranged below the base, for example, a lateral force acts on the surface of the game board due to the transfer of the gaming machine and the center of gravity of the base from the vertical line of the mounting contact surface. If it is shifted to either the left or right side, a rotational moment acting to rotate the base around the mounting contact surface due to the weight applied to the base acts, and the base cannot be fixed satisfactorily as described above. There is a problem that a problem occurs due to deformation.

  According to the configuration of the means 7, the first drive unit and the second drive unit are guided by the guide member extending in the vertical direction and guided by the guide member and cantilevered to hold the first movable body or the second movable body. The apparatus includes a member, a moving means for moving the guided member, and a base provided with an attachment contact surface on the upper side for supporting the moving means, the guided member, and the like to be fixed to the game board.

  Accordingly, the moving means and the guide member are supported by the base, and the mounting contact surface for mounting and fixing the base to the game board is provided, and the entire base is not in contact with the game board but the mounting contact surface. The base is attached and fixed to the game board by touching only the base, preventing the base from being distorted, rattling, or the strength of the attachment from being reduced, so that the base is more firmly attached to the game board. Can be fixed.

  Then, the moving means, the guide member, and the like are attached and fixed to the game board via this base, and they can be firmly fixed, so that the first movable body and the second movable body can be surely secured by the guide member. It can be guided and guided in the vertical direction, and the movement of the first movable body and the second movable body can be enjoyed to enhance the interest.

  In addition, since the guide member is firmly fixed to the game board via the base, even if the first movable body or the second movable body is enlarged or moved at a high speed, it may be wobbled or distorted. The first movable body and the second movable body can be made to have a stronger impact, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be made more highly effective and more interesting. Can be.

  In addition, the mounting contact surface disposed on the upper side of the base is fixed to the game board, that is, the mounting is fixed only on one side of the base. Only one side (upper side) is required, and the labor required for mounting can be simplified.

  Furthermore, since the position of the mounting contact surface of the base is set to the upper side of the base, a force in the left and right direction acts on the surface of the game board, and the center of gravity of the base from the vertical line of the mounting contact surface Even if it is displaced, the rotational moment applied to the center of gravity acts to return the center of gravity of the base to the vertical line of the mounting contact surface, and the base returns to its original position. The force other than the weight applied to the base can be prevented from acting, the base can be mounted and fixed satisfactorily, and the base can be prevented from being deformed to cause a malfunction.

  In addition, since the base supporting the guide member, the moving means, etc. can be firmly attached and fixed to the game board, the base does not shake, and even if the effect display means is arranged adjacent to the base, the base or base The first supported body and the second movable body move well without fear that the member supported by the contact with the effect display means may be damaged or the first movable body or the second movable body cannot be moved. In addition, it is possible to satisfactorily provide an effect display means.

  Furthermore, since only the mounting contact surface that is a part of the entire length of the base is in contact with the game board and fixed, even if there is a dimensional error of the game board or base, etc. It is possible to reduce the effects of errors as much as possible, and even if the base is attached and fixed to the game board, it is possible to prevent problems such as distortion from occurring, and the base is attached to the game board well. be able to. Therefore, even if the length of the guide member for guiding and guiding the first movable body and the second movable body is increased, the base can be satisfactorily attached and fixed to the game board even if the base supporting the guide member becomes longer. Therefore, it is possible to increase the length of the guide member so that the first movable body and the second movable body move greatly, and to easily recognize the rendering operation of the first movable body and the second movable body. Thus, it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being reduced by the effect operation.

  In addition, it is desirable that “a mounting hole for inserting a screw is formed in the upper part of the mounting contact surface of the base”, so that the base can be attached to the game board with the screw through the mounting hole, By mounting and fixing with screws at the upper part of the contact surface, it is possible to make the rotational moment applied to the screw and the mounting contact surface as difficult as possible for the same reason as described above, and the base is attached to the game board well. Can be fixed. Note that the smaller the number of mounting holes, that is, the number of screws for mounting, can simplify the mounting effort, and if the mounting holes are arranged close to the vertical line of the center of gravity of the base, the mounting holes Can be as small as possible (for example, one or two).

Means 8: In the constitution of means 7,
"The moving means is
A driving pulley disposed on the upper side, and a driven pulley disposed on the lower side;
A drive belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley and to which the guided member is fixed;
And a rotation driving means for rotating the driving pulley in order to drive the driving belt ”.

  Here, “the driving pulley, the driven pulley, and the driving belt” are “the driving belt is a flat belt and the driving pulley and the driven pulley are flat pulleys”, “the driving belt is a toothed belt, "The driven pulley is a toothed pulley that engages with the teeth of the driving belt", "The driving belt is a toothed belt, the driving pulley is a toothed pulley that engages with the teeth of the driving belt, and the driven pulley is a flat pulley. And the like ".

  Further, examples of the “rotation drive means” include “electric motor”, “pneumatic actuator”, etc., and the drive pulley may be directly driven to rotate by the rotation drive means, or indirectly through the transmission gear. Alternatively, the drive pulley may be rotationally driven. In addition, when the drive pulley is driven to rotate indirectly, the position of the rotation drive means and the position of the drive pulley can be different from each other. It is possible to arrange and drive the drive pulley indirectly from there, and the degree of freedom of arrangement can be further increased.

  By the way, as a moving means for moving the guided member guided and guided by the guiding member, various methods are conceivable. For example, a long screw member extending in a predetermined direction and a screw member are screwed together. In the case where the nut member (movable member) and the rotation driving means for rotating the screw member are configured, the nut member can be moved in the extending direction of the screw member by rotating the screw member. However, when the nut member, that is, the movable body is moved by the rotation of the screw member, the moving speed of the movable body is slower than the rotational speed of the screw member, and the effecting operation of the movable body becomes slow. It was difficult to make a strong impression on the player, and it was not possible to expect an effect that could enhance interest.

  Moreover, it is also conceivable to use a solenoid or cylinder that can move the movable body faster than the case of using a screw member as the moving means. However, when a solenoid or cylinder is used, the movable body is moved by moving the plunger or piston rod accommodated in the solenoid or cylinder, so a large space is required for installing the solenoid or cylinder. In a gaming machine with a limited installation space, there is a problem that it is difficult to install a solenoid or a cylinder depending on the amount of movement in which the movable body is desired to be moved.

  Further, when the guided member (the first movable body and the second movable body) is moved in the vertical direction, either one of the drive pulley and the driven pulley is disposed on the upper side, and the other is disposed on the lower side. However, when the driven pulley is placed on the upper side and the driving pulley is placed on the lower side, the driving belt moves downward, that is, toward the driving pulley due to the weight of the guided member fixed to the driving belt. As a result, the driving force of the driving belt on the driving pulley is weakened, the driving belt and the driving pulley become slippery, and the driving belt cannot be driven sufficiently or is fixed to the driving belt. There is a risk of the guided member descending. Therefore, it is conceivable that the driving pulley and the driven pulley are separated from each other by the urging means, and the winding force of the driving belt on the driving pulley is strengthened to make it difficult to slip. In this case, the urging force of the urging means is strong. In order to cope with the urging force, it is necessary to increase the strength of the drive pulley, the driven pulley, the drive belt, and the support member that supports them, and the size becomes large or expensive. Problems occur.

  According to the structure of the means 8, the moving means is separated from the extending direction of the guide member in the same direction as the driving pulley disposed on the upper side, the driven pulley disposed on the lower side, and the driven member fixed to the guided member. And a driven belt wound around the driven pulley, and a rotational driving means for rotationally driving the driving pulley.

  Thereby, when the drive pulley is rotated by the rotation drive means, the drive belt rotates, and the movable body moves through the guided member together with the drive belt, so compared with the case of using a moving means such as a screw member, The moving speed of the guided member holding the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved faster, and the first movable body and the second movable body that move faster can impress the player strongly. Thus, it is possible to entertain the directing action by paying attention to the first movable body and the second movable body, and it is possible to prevent the interest in the game from deteriorating.

  In particular, in the case where the mouth of the predetermined character is opened and closed by the first movable body and the second movable body, the movement of the mouth of the predetermined character that is packed can be made faster, so that it feels tighter It is possible to increase the player's sense of tension, and to expect an effect that can be attracted to the game more strongly and nailed to the game.

  In addition, since the movable body is moved through the guided member by driving the drive belt, it is possible to further reduce the size compared to the case where the same amount of movement is moved using a solenoid or cylinder. Therefore, it can be easily installed in the gaming machine, and even if the moving amount of the movable body is increased, it can be installed in the gaming machine, so that the movable body can be moved more greatly. It is possible to make it easy to recognize the production operation, and to prevent the entertainment from being lowered by the production operation.

  Furthermore, since the guided member is guided and guided by the guiding member, the guided member can be guided and guided straight by the guiding member even if the guided member is moved using a belt that is easily bent. In this case, the guided member, that is, the movable body can be favorably moved in a desired posture.

  In addition, the drive pulley is disposed on the upper side and the driven pulley is disposed on the lower side, so that the drive belt is pulled downward, that is, in a direction away from the drive pulley due to the weight of the fixed guided member or the like. The force applied to the drive pulley increases the force applied to the drive pulley, and the friction force between the drive pulley and the drive belt increases, making it difficult to slip each other. The drive belt can be driven, and the driven pulley and the drive belt can be prevented from slipping and the guided member can be prevented from falling, and the movable body can be moved through the guided member. Thus, it is possible to enhance the interest by causing the movable body to perform a predetermined production operation.

  Furthermore, since the wrapping force of the drive belt around the drive pulley becomes stronger due to the weight of the guided member, etc., it is not necessary to make the urging means stronger than necessary, so that the drive pulley, the driven pulley, It is not necessary to unnecessarily increase the strength of the drive belt, the support member that supports them, and the like, and it is possible to suppress the increase in size and cost.

  It is desirable that a predetermined tension (tension) is applied to the drive belt, whereby the winding force of the drive belt around the drive pulley can be in a good state, and the drive pulley and the drive belt It is possible to prevent the occurrence of slippage between the two and to drive the drive belt to rotate favorably. As a method for applying tension to the drive belt, for example, “the drive pulley and the driven pulley are moved relative to each other, and one of the pulleys is moved away from the other pulley by the urging means. Energizing the drive belt by urging ”,“ After making the drive pulley and the driven pulley move relative to each other, move the drive pulley and the driven pulley relative to each other, Applying tension to the drive belts wound around these pulleys, and fixing the positions of these pulleys in that state "," After winding the drive belt on the drive pulley and driven pulley with fixed positions " , And the like, in which tension is applied to the drive belt by pressing the drive belt with a predetermined urging force from the inner peripheral side or the outer peripheral side of the drive belt.

  Further, in addition to the configuration of this means, in the case of a biasing means for biasing the driven pulley downward, or a drive belt or drive pulley further provided with engagement teeth or engaged teeth, Since the biasing force of the biasing means acts in addition to the weight from the guided member or the like, it can be pulled further downward to further increase the winding force of the driving belt around the driving pulley, and the engagement teeth The engaging force of the engaged teeth can be further increased, and slipping between the driving pulley and the driving belt can be further prevented.

  In addition, a drive pulley of the moving means is disposed on the same upper side as the side on which the mounting contact surface of the base for mounting and fixing to the game board is disposed. In other words, the rotational drive means for rotationally driving the drive pulley is supported on the upper side of the base close to the attachment contact surface, so that the attachment application is performed at a position as close as possible to the rotational drive means that is a source of vibration and reaction force. Each member such as a guide member supported by the base by vibration of the base is able to prevent the vibration from the rotation driving means from being transmitted to the entire base and is fixed to the game board via the contact surface. It is possible to prevent the guided means from being able to be guided and guided satisfactorily due to vibration, contact with other members and being damaged, or loose assembly of the members.

  Furthermore, since the rotation drive means is supported at a position close to the mounting contact surface, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of vibration even if the rotation drive means is driven, so that the game board vibrates via the base. To prevent the game media, various winning devices, and game media payout devices, etc., that are driven into the game area from being affected by the vibration of the rotation drive means. Can be.

Means 9: In the constitution of means 8,
"The moving means is
A plurality of engaging teeth formed on the inner periphery of the drive belt;
It further includes a plurality of engaged teeth that are engaged with the engaging teeth and formed on the outer periphery of the driving pulley.

  In the configuration of the means 9, the drive belt is a toothed belt with engagement teeth formed, and the drive pulley is a toothed pulley with engagement teeth formed to engage with the engagement teeth. As a result, the drive belt is wound around the drive pulley, the engaging teeth and the engaged teeth are engaged with each other, and the drive belt can be made difficult to slide on the outer peripheral surface of the drive pulley. The rotational drive can be reliably transmitted to the drive belt.

  In addition, the engagement between the engagement teeth and the engaged teeth ensures that the rotation of the drive pulley is transmitted to the drive belt. Even if the rotation speed of the drive pulley is increased, the drive pulley and the drive belt Since no slip occurs between the two, the drive belt can be driven at a higher speed, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved at a higher speed via the guided member. It is possible to enhance the interest by making a strong impact.

Means 10: In the constitution of means 8 or means 9,
"The moving means is
The driving belt further includes urging means for urging the driven pulley in a direction away from the driving pulley while being wound around the driving pulley and the driven pulley. And

  Here, examples of the “biasing means” include “coil spring”, “plate spring”, “rubber”, and the like. In addition, as a position which arrange | positions a biasing means, the position between a drive pulley and a driven pulley may be sufficient, and the position on the opposite side to a drive pulley with respect to a driven pulley may be sufficient.

  By the way, conventionally, a tension mechanism for applying a predetermined tension (tension) to the drive belt is provided so that the drive belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley can be driven to rotate favorably. There are various forms of the tension mechanism. For example, “a tension is applied to the drive belt by pressing the drive belt with a predetermined urging force from the inside or the outside at a position between the drive pulley and the driven pulley. When the `` thing '' is used, a tension mechanism must be provided between the driving pulley and the driven pulley, the tension mechanism obstructs the movement of the guided member, and it cannot be moved, or the direction in which the driving belt extends On the other hand, a mechanism for applying an urging force in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction is required, so that the size in the direction perpendicular to the surface becomes large, and there is a problem in that it cannot be installed due to its overall size.

  According to the structure of the means 10, the urging means for urging the driven pulley away from the drive pulley is provided. That is, an urging means for applying a predetermined tension to the drive belt is provided. Thereby, the tension of the driving belt wound around the driving pulley and the driven pulley can be made appropriate, and the driving belt can be driven to rotate favorably.

  Also, as the tension mechanism, the drive pulley and the driven pulley are urged away from each other, so the drive belt is urged from the inside or outside of the drive belt to the opposite side between the drive pulley and the driven pulley. Compared to what to do, it is possible to suppress an increase in the size in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the drive belt extends, and since no tension mechanism is provided at a position between the drive pulley and the driven pulley, The guided member can be favorably moved without disturbing the movement of the guided member.

  In addition, as a position which arrange | positions a biasing means, the position between a drive pulley and a driven pulley may be sufficient, and the position on the opposite side to a drive pulley with respect to a driven pulley may be sufficient.

Means 11: In the constitution of means 10,
"The moving means is
A hook-shaped locking portion that locks a shaft portion that is opened in a direction away from the drive pulley with respect to the driven pulley and protrudes from both sides of the driven pulley;
A guide hole into which the guide member is inserted and fitted;
A moving body that is guided and guided by the guide member and that rotatably holds the driven pulley;
The urging means has one end supported between the guide hole and the locking portion in the movable body and the other end supported by the base.

  Here, as the tension mechanism, “a mechanism that applies a predetermined tension to the drive belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley by moving the drive pulley and the driven pulley relative to each other in a direction away from each other” is used. In this case, it is possible to suppress an increase in the size in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the drive belt extends. However, the drive pulley and the driven pulley can be moved relative to the direction in which the drive pulley and the driven pulley are arranged, and the drive pulley and the driven pulley are relatively moved by a support member that rotatably supports the drive pulley and the driven pulley, thereby applying tension to the drive belt. In addition to the tension mechanism to be actuated, a guiding member for guiding and guiding the guided member is disposed, so that the number of components increases, the overall size is increased, and the movable body held by the guided member is relatively small. Or the amount of movement of the guided member, that is, the movable body is reduced.

  Various positions are conceivable as the position where the urging force is applied by the urging means, and the conventional tension mechanism is arranged so as to act along the axis passing through the rotation centers of the driving pulley and the driven pulley. It was. However, the driven pulley is guided and slid by a guide member arranged substantially parallel to the axis passing through the rotation center of the drive pulley and the driven pulley, and then on the axis passing through the rotation center of the drive pulley and the driven pulley. When the urging force is applied along the axis, the driven pulley is guided and guided by the guiding member via the moving body at a position eccentric from the axis, so that the urging force of the urging means is applied to the guiding member. The moving body will tilt. On the other hand, when an urging force is applied along the axis of the guide member, the reaction force from the drive belt caused by the urging force of the urging means is deviated from the axis of the guide member. It will be on an axis passing through the center of rotation, and the moving body will be inclined with respect to the guide member by the reaction force. As described above, when the moving body is inclined with respect to the guide member, the moving body may not be guided and guided well.

  According to the structure of the means 11, it is provided with the hook-shaped locking part which is open on the opposite side to the driving pulley and locks the shaft part of the driven pulley, and the guide hole which is inserted and fitted with the guide member. A moving body to which one end of the urging means is connected, and the other end of the urging means is connected to the base so that the urging force of the urging means is applied to the drive belt via the moving body. It is a thing.

  As a result, the moving body for applying tension to the drive belt is guided and guided by the guide member to which the guided member is guided and guided, so the moving body is separated in the direction in which the drive pulley and the driven pulley are separated. It is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for moving, and the entire apparatus can be simplified, and the overall increase in size can be suppressed. In other words, since it is possible to prevent an overall increase in size, it is possible to relatively increase the size of the movable body or increase the amount of movement, thereby making it easier to recognize the effect of the movable body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the entertainment from being lowered by the production operation.

  In addition, since the urging force of the urging means acts between the guide portion guided and guided by the guide member in the moving body and the locking portion that holds the driven pulley, this causes the moving body to be applied. The urging force of the urging means is applied substantially evenly on the guiding member side and the driven pulley side, so that the moving body can be prevented from being tilted with respect to the guiding member, and the guiding member can guide the moving body satisfactorily. Can be made.

  In addition, since the moving body can be guided and guided well by the guiding means, a predetermined tension can be favorably applied to the driving belt by the urging force of the urging means, whereby the driving pulley and the driven pulley can be applied. By appropriately adjusting the tension of the drive belt to be wound, the drive belt can be driven to rotate favorably.

  Furthermore, the driven pulley and the drive belt can be easily assembled and the urging force is applied to the drive belt simply by locking the shaft portion to the locking portion while the drive belt is wound around the driven pulley. be able to. More specifically, once the moving body is moved to the driving pulley side against the urging force of the urging means, the shaft portion of the driven pulley around which the driving belt is wound is inserted from the opened side of the moving body. Then, by applying the urging force of the urging means to the moving body, the moving body is urged by the urging means in a direction in which the drive pulley and the driven pulley are separated from each other, and the driven pulley is wound around. Since the drive belt restricts the movement of the drive pulley and the driven pulley in a direction away from each other, the shaft portion of the driven pulley is not detached from the locking portion of the moving body, and the shaft portion of the driven pulley can be satisfactorily locked. can do.

  Further, since the other end of the urging means is directly supported by the base made of sheet metal, even if the urging force of the urging means is strong, the urging means can be surely supported and is applied to the drive belt by the urging means. Tension can be made favorable.

Means 12: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 11,
“At least one of the first drive unit and the second drive unit is
The first movable body and the second movable body are supported on an axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide member and substantially along the surface of the game board, and cantilevered rotatably on the guided member. A support shaft,
And a rotation means for rotating the support shaft around the axis thereof ”.

  Here, as "rotating means", "the one that rotates by the rotation of the motor", "the one that rotates by moving the solenoid plunger back and forth", "the one that rotates by moving the piston of the cylinder back and forth" And the like. In addition, it is good also as what rotates directly by drive parts, such as a motor, a cylinder, and a piston, and even if the drive of a drive part rotates indirectly via transmission means, such as a gear and a link mechanism. good.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine, the movement of the movable body is only one direction, such as the movement of the movable body only in the vertical direction or the movement rotating in the front-rear direction. It becomes a simple movement, and by getting used to the production by the movement of the movable body, some players may get bored with the movement of the movable body and reduce the interest in the game.

  According to the configuration of the means 12, at least one of the first drive unit and the second drive unit cantilever-support the first movable body or the second movable body and can be rotatably supported by the guided member; Rotation means for rotating the shaft.

  Accordingly, the first movable body or the second movable body can be rotated around the axis of the support shaft, so that the first movable body or the second movable body is not only in the vertical direction but also around the axis of the support shaft. The movement of the first movable body or the second movable body can be made more complex, and the excitement can be enhanced by making the movement more highly effective. Can do.

  Also, since the first movable body and the second movable body are cantilevered by the support shaft, for example, the first drive unit and the second drive unit are placed at the end of the game board (on the left and right outside of the effect display means). The movable body supported by the support shaft can be moved up and down in the approximate center of the game board (the front side of the effect display means), making the first movable body and the second movable body more conspicuous. It becomes possible to arrange at a position, and the production effect can be further enhanced.

  Note that both the first drive unit and the second drive unit may be provided with rotating means. For example, in the case where the mouth of a predetermined character is expressed by the first movable body and the second movable body, Since the shaft extends in a substantially horizontal direction along the game board, the axis of the support shaft is regarded as the axis of the temporomandibular joint of a predetermined character, and the first movable body and the second movable body are respectively the axes of the support shaft. When it is turned around, the opening / closing operation of the mouth of the predetermined character becomes a more realistic operation, and the appealing power to the player is strengthened, which can be more enjoyed.

Means 13: In the constitution of means 12,
"The turning means is
A plunger that is disposed at a position opposite to the side on which the first movable body or the second movable body is held by the guided member via the support shaft, and that moves forward and backward in a predetermined direction. A solenoid having
And a transmission means for converting the linear motion of the solenoid caused by the advancement and retraction of the plunger into a rotational motion and transmitting the support shaft so as to rotate about the axis thereof.

  Here, as the “transmission means”, “the base end is fixed to the support member and the distal end is connected to the plunger, so that the linear motion of the plunger is converted and the support member is rotated and transmitted”, “Using a crank mechanism, the linear motion of the plunger is converted and transmitted to rotate the support member”, and the like.

  By the way, when a motor is used as a drive source for rotating the support shaft, a small motor such as that provided in the guided member generally has a small rotational torque, and the support shaft is rotated together with the movable body directly by the rotation shaft of the motor. It is difficult to do so, and the support shaft is rotated by increasing the torque by reducing the rotation speed through a plurality of gears. However, since the rotation speed is slow, the movement of the movable body is slow. At the same time, the response of the movement slowed down, and it was difficult to make a fast movement that had an impact and increased interest.

  In addition, when the first movable body or the second movable body is cantilevered via the support shaft, a large load is applied to the guided member on the side holding the first movable body or the second movable body via the support shaft. As a result, uneven wear occurs due to uneven friction between the sliding member held by the guided member and the guiding member, and the guided member guided and guided by the guiding member is not smoothly guided and awkwardly moves. Or you may not be able to guide.

  According to the configuration of the means 13, the rotating means is provided with a solenoid having a plunger that advances and retreats, and a transmission means that transmits the support shaft by the advance and retreat of the plunger, and the rotating means is the first movable member of the guided member. The side on which the body or the second movable body is held is arranged on the opposite side across the guide member.

  Thereby, the rotating means for rotating the support shaft is arranged on the opposite side of the guided member from the side where the movable body is held, and the guided member is sandwiched between the guiding members. The first movable body or the second movable body is held on one side and the rotating means is held on the other side, and a predetermined load is applied to both sides across the guide member. The uneven load applied to the member is alleviated and the occurrence of uneven wear between the guided member and the guiding member is suppressed, and the guided member guided to the guiding member by the uneven load is not smoothly guided and awkward It is possible to prevent the user from being unable to guide or guide.

  In addition, the rotation means includes a solenoid having a plunger that moves forward and backward, and a transmission means that converts the linear motion of the plunger in the solenoid into a rotational motion and rotates the support shaft around the axis, Since the solenoid is used as the source, it is possible to make quick movement with good response compared to the case where a motor is used, and the first movable body or the second movable body can produce a strong impact operation. And can be interesting.

  Also, when the movable body is directly rotated by the solenoid plunger, the solenoid itself must be changed in order to change the amount of rotation, and it cannot be easily changed, and the design freedom is low. There is. However, in this means, since the support shaft is rotated by the rotation means, the rotation amount of the support shaft can be easily changed with respect to the advance / retreat amount of the plunger by the rotation means. The degree of movement can be increased, and the movement that can be more interesting can be made movable.

  By the way, in general, in a solenoid having a plunger that advances and retreats, the plunger is urged in a predetermined direction by the elastic force of the spring. It moves forward and backward in the direction opposite to the direction of force. For this reason, when the forward / backward direction of the plunger in the solenoid is set to the vertical direction, gravity applied to the plunger acts on the plunger in addition to the biasing force of the spring. If the force becomes weaker or stronger, for example, if the urging force becomes weaker, when the solenoid is not energized, the plunger may not move sufficiently and may not be in a predetermined position. Further, when the urging force becomes strong, there are problems that the plunger does not move sufficiently even when the solenoid is energized, or that a large amount of power is required. In addition, due to these, the advancement / retraction of the plunger becomes insufficient, and the movement of the movable body becomes insufficient, making it difficult to perform the desired movement, and there is a possibility that the effect of the movement cannot be obtained.

  Therefore, the rotating means is “a solenoid arranged so that the plunger advances and retreats in a substantially horizontal direction, and a transmission member connected to the plunger with the base end fixed to the support shaft and the tip extending in either the vertical direction. It is also possible to make the plunger forward and backward directions substantially horizontal, thereby reducing the influence of gravity on the plunger forward and backward as much as possible. By making the advance and retreat reliably, it becomes possible to move the first movable body and the second movable body with certainty so that the desired production operation can be performed. It is possible to prevent the decrease. Further, since the transmission means is a transmission member whose base end is fixed to the support shaft and whose distal end extends in any of the vertical directions and is connected to the plunger, the linear movement of the plunger is supported by the simple configuration of the transmission shaft. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in cost for realizing the transmission means. The direction in which the transmission member is extended is preferably extended so that the transmission member connected to the plunger is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal direction when the plunger moves forward and backward at a substantially intermediate position. . Thereby, even if the amount of forward / backward movement of the plunger is the same, the support shaft can be rotated more greatly.

  On the other hand, in the case of a solenoid having a plunger that moves forward and backward, the size of the plunger is generally larger than the dimension in the forward / backward direction of the plunger and the dimension perpendicular to the forward / backward direction of the plunger. The dimensions are large. For this reason, when the solenoid is arranged so that the advance / retreat direction of the plunger is substantially horizontal and the extension direction of the support shaft is substantially horizontal, the extension of the support shaft is assumed to be the same direction as the support shaft. When the exit direction becomes longer as a whole, or the overlap between the support shaft and the solenoid becomes larger, the size of the first movable body and the second movable body supported by the support shaft when preparing for a gaming machine is relative. Therefore, the first movable body and the second movable body may become inconspicuous, the impact may be reduced, and the effect of enhancing the interest may not be expected. Further, if the plunger is advanced and retracted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the support shaft, the dimension of the support shaft in the direction perpendicular to the axis becomes large, and there is a problem that it is easy to buffer with other members.

  Therefore, the rotating means is defined as “a solenoid arranged so that the plunger advances and retreats substantially vertically and a predetermined length extending in a substantially horizontal direction and in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the support shaft, and between the one end and the other end of the solenoid. Connected to the plunger, one end is rotatably supported at a position opposite to the support shaft across the connection with the plunger, and the other end is located at a position opposite to the connection with the plunger across the support shaft A distal end is rotatably supported on the other end of the first flange member and the first flange member, and a base end is fixed to the support shaft so as to be integrally rotatable, and is shorter than the first flange member. It is also possible to provide a transmission means composed of a second flange member, which can increase the overall length of the support shaft in the extending direction, or increase the overlap between the support shaft and the solenoid. do it, To prevent the first movable body and the second movable body from becoming relatively inconspicuous by reducing the size of the first movable body and the second movable body supported by the support shaft when preparing for the technical machine. It becomes possible, the first movable body and the second movable body can be enlarged as much as possible, the impact by the first movable body and the second movable body can be increased, and the effect of enhancing the interest can be expected. . In addition, since it is possible to suppress an increase in the dimension of the support shaft in the direction perpendicular to the axis, it is possible to make it difficult to buffer with other members, and it is possible to easily provide a gaming machine. The advance / retreat of the plunger may be advanced / retracted from the upper part of the solenoid or may be advanced / retreated from the lower part of the solenoid, and can be selected as appropriate. In addition, the amount of movement of the other end of the first rod member increases with respect to the amount of advancement and retreat of the plunger, and the length of the second rod member is greater than the length from the other end of the first rod member to the connection portion with the plunger. Since the length is short, the rotation around the axis of the support shaft can be further rotated through the second flange member, and the movement of the first movable body and the second movable body can be increased, which makes it more interesting. Can make the movement enhanced. Furthermore, since the plunger and the support shaft are disposed between one end and the other end of the first rod member, the second rod member connecting the other end of the first rod member and the support shaft is outside the first rod member. Therefore, the entire transmission means can be reduced in size, and the transmission means can be easily provided.

  The relationship between the first movable body and the second movable body and the support shaft is as follows: “The first movable body and the second movable body are supported at a position eccentric by the support shaft, and the first movable body and the second movable body are The plunger of the solenoid may be urged in the direction opposite to the direction of movement by energizing the solenoid via the support shaft and the transmission means due to the gravity applied to the movable body. In this case, the plunger is urged in the direction opposite to the direction in which the plunger moves by energization due to gravity applied to the first movable body or the second movable body, and automatically moves forward or backward to the moving end. The plunger can be automatically returned. Even when an elastic member such as a spring for returning is provided as in the case of a conventional solenoid, it can be returned sufficiently even if its elastic force is weak, so it is necessary to use an expensive elastic member having a strong elastic force. It is possible to suppress an increase in cost.

Means 14: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 13,
“The first drive unit and the second drive unit are
The first movable body and the second movable body further include a rotation preventing means for preventing the first movable body and the second movable body from rotating about an axis extending in the vertical direction.

  Here, as the “rotation preventing means”, “the guide member arranged substantially parallel to the extending direction of the guide member and the movement of the guide member guided by the guide member in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the guide member are restricted. Of the first movable unit and the second movable unit, which are cantilevered by the first drive unit and the second drive unit, opposite to the first drive unit and the second drive unit. To prevent rotation by supporting the "." As the “guide member”, “a cross-sectional shape is circular or polygonal and extends continuously in a predetermined direction”, “a cross-sectional shape is circular or polygonal and extends discontinuously in a predetermined direction (predetermined That are arranged at intervals). The “guided member” includes “a member guided by abutting against the outer surface of the guide member”, “a member guided by abutting against the inner surface or the recessed portion of the guide member”, and “a fitting with the guide member”. What is guided by combining ", etc. are mentioned. Further, the rotation preventing means may support the weight of the guided member.

  By the way, the movable body in the conventional gaming machine has, for example, a linear rack gear, and the movable body moves in the direction in which the rack gear extends by rotating a pinion gear meshing with the rack gear by a motor. . The rack gear is guided with a predetermined play so as to move in the extending direction, and the movable body can swing by the amount of play. For this reason, when the size of the movable body is relatively small, even if the movable body shakes, it is difficult to understand the vibration, but when the movable body is enlarged, the movable body becomes more noticeable as a whole and can be moved by unintentional vibration. There is a risk that the production performance of the body may be impaired, and the desired production effect may not be achieved, and even if the guided proximal end is small, the vibration at the distal end away from the proximal end And the movable body may come into contact with the effect display device and other members to cause problems such as breakage.

  Therefore, by reducing the play of the guide part that guides the movable body so as to move in a predetermined direction, the vibration at the base end portion is reduced as much as possible, and the vibration at the distal end portion of the movable body is suppressed. It is possible to do so. However, in this case, it is necessary to increase the dimensional accuracy of the guide portion, which causes a problem that the processing cost of the guide portion increases and becomes expensive.

  In addition, when the guided member that holds the movable body is fixed to the drive belt and moved, the drive belt is generally flexible and easy to bend. Therefore, the drive belt has an action of suppressing the swing of the movable body. On the contrary, since the drive belt is easily bent, it is easy to vibrate when it is driven to rotate, and the movable body may be shaken via the guided member due to the vibration of the drive belt.

  According to the configuration of the means 14, the first drive unit and the second drive unit are provided with rotation preventing means for preventing the first movable body and the second movable body from rotating about the axis extending in the vertical direction. is there.

  As a result, the rotation preventing means can prevent the first movable body and the second movable body from rotating around the axis extending in the vertical direction, so that the first movable body and the second movable body can be enlarged. The anti-rotation means prevents the vibration from being favorably prevented, so that the first movable body and the second movable body can be prevented from coming into contact with other members such as an effect display device, and can be moved by contact. It is possible to prevent the body and other members from being damaged or worn out and causing problems.

  Further, since the rotation preventing means can prevent the first movable body and the second movable body from rotating around the axis extending in the vertical direction, the first movable body or Even if the second movable body is moved, the first movable body and the second movable body can be well prevented from rotating around the axis in the vertical direction, that is, swinging around the axis. It is possible to reliably perform a desired production operation by suppressing the interest and prevent the interest from deteriorating, and it is possible to make the first movable body and the second movable body larger, By making the first movable body and the second movable body more conspicuous, it is possible to further enhance the effect of the movable body.

  Moreover, since the rotation preventing means is provided, the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved without increasing the movement accuracy of the first drive unit and the second drive unit that move the first movable body and the second movable body. It is possible to prevent the body from swinging, it is not necessary to increase the processing accuracy of the first drive unit and the second drive unit, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be swung without increasing the cost. It can prevent well.

Means 15: In the configuration of means 14,
"The rotation preventing means is
A guide member that extends in the vertical direction and is arranged substantially parallel to a position away from the guide member by a predetermined distance;
The guide member has a guided member that is controlled to move in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction by the guide member and is held by the guided member.

  Here, as the “guide member”, “a cross-sectional shape is circular or polygonal and extends continuously in a predetermined direction”, “a cross-sectional shape is circular or polygonal and extends discontinuously in a predetermined direction (predetermined Are arranged at intervals of “)” and the like. Examples of the material of the “guide member” include “resin”, “metal”, “ceramics”, “composite material such as glass fiber reinforced resin and carbon fiber reinforced resin”, and the like. On the other hand, “guided members” include “things that are guided by contacting the outer surface of the guide member”, “things that are guided by contacting the inner surface or the recessed portion of the guide member”, “fit with the guide member” What is guided by combining ", etc. are mentioned. Further, the rotation preventing means may support the weight of the guided member.

  According to the configuration of the means 15, the rotation preventing means includes a guide member disposed so as to be substantially parallel to the guide member, and a guided member that is held by the guided member while the movement of the guide member in the direction perpendicular to the axis is restricted. It is made up of.

  Thus, the rotation preventing means can prevent the guided member from rotating around the axis of the guiding member, so even if the guided member is moved by a drive belt having a lot of vibration, the guided member It is possible to satisfactorily prevent the held first movable body and second movable body from rotating around the axis of the guide member, that is, to swing around the axis, and to suppress the unintentional shake and achieve a desired effect. It is possible to reliably perform the operation and prevent the interest from deteriorating, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be made larger. The movable body can be made more conspicuous, and the effect of the first movable body and the second movable body can be further enhanced.

  In addition, since the rotation preventing means is provided, the guided member can be prevented from rotating and swinging around the axis of the guiding member without increasing the dimensional accuracy between the guiding member and the guided member. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the processing accuracy of the guide member or the guided member, and it is possible to favorably prevent the first movable body and the second movable body from shaking without increasing the cost.

  And a guide member disposed at a position that is substantially parallel to the guide member and spaced apart from the guide member by a guide member, and a guided member that is held by the guide member by restricting movement of the guide member in the direction perpendicular to the axis by the guide member. Since the position of the guide member is fixed with respect to the guided member to be moved, a space for moving the guide member becomes unnecessary as compared with the case where the guide member is held by the guided member. . As a result, the installation space can be reduced as much as possible, so that it becomes possible to install the first movable body and the second movable body having a moving amount that can be expected to have a desired performance effect in the gaming machine. It is possible to enhance the interest of the player.

  The guide member and the guided member as rotation preventing means may be a long member having the same cross section in the guide member, and the U member having a U-shaped cross section sandwiching the guide member. The guide member and the guided member can each have a simple configuration, and the rotation preventing means can be easily realized. Moreover, a general extrusion material, a drawing material, etc. can be used as a guide member, and the cost concerning a guide member etc. can be reduced.

  In addition, the guide member may be a rod-shaped member having a circular cross-sectional outer shape, that is, a column-shaped rod-like member. By this, the guide member is formed into a guide member such as a general round bar or pipe material. Since it is possible to suppress an increase in the cost and the rotation prevention means is provided, the guided member can be a columnar rod-shaped member that is easily rotated around the axis of the guiding member. It is possible to prevent the guided member from rotating (shaking) well. The guide member only needs to have a circular outer shape, and may be a solid member or a hollow member.

  Furthermore, “the first movable body and the second movable body are held by the guided member between the guide member and the guide member” may be configured so that the guided member is connected to the guide member and the guide member. Compared to the case where the first movable body and the second movable body are held outside, it is possible to suppress an increase in the width in the direction in which the guide member and the guide member are arranged, and the overall size can be reduced. Therefore, it can be easily provided in a gaming machine, and a gaming machine that can be more interesting can be obtained. Further, when the guided member is guided and guided not only by the guiding member but also by the guide member, the guided member is held by holding the first movable body and the second movable body between the guiding member and the guide member. The load applied to the guide member and the guide member can be applied substantially evenly, and the uneven load applied to the guided member and the guide member is alleviated, and the uneven friction between the guided member and the guide member and the guide member is reduced. The occurrence of uneven wear due to the load is suppressed, and the guided member, that is, the first movable body or the second movable body is not smoothly guided and becomes awkward movement or cannot be guided and guided. Can be prevented.

Means 16: In any one configuration from means 7 to means 15,
“The first drive unit and the second drive unit are
A first support member made of a resin that supports one end of the guide member and has a plurality of positioning protrusions;
A second support member that supports the other end of the guide member and is made of a resin having a plurality of positioning protrusions;
The base made of sheet metal has a plurality of positioning holes corresponding to the positioning protrusions of the first support member and the second support member, and by fitting the positioning holes and the positioning protrusions to each other, The first support member and the second support member are positioned and supported at predetermined positions by a base ”.

  By the way, in order to enlarge the moving distance of movable bodies, such as a 1st movable body and a 2nd movable body, it is possible to lengthen the length of a guide member. When the both ends of the guide member are supported, the support member that supports both ends of the guide member increases as the length of the guide member increases. For example, when the support members that support both ends of the guide member are integrally molded with resin, the larger the support member, the greater the molding distortion, and the guide member cannot be supported at a desired position, and the movable body is improved. There is a problem that guidance cannot be provided.

  Further, when the support member is enlarged, the mold for forming the support member is also enlarged, and there is a problem that the cost for manufacturing the support member is increased.

  According to the configuration of the means 16, in the first drive unit and the second drive unit, both ends of the guide member are supported by the first support member and the second support member made of resin, and the first support member and the second support member The first and second support members are positioned and supported at predetermined positions by fitting the provided positioning protrusions into positioning holes provided at corresponding positions of the base made of sheet metal. is there.

  Thereby, the magnitude | size of the 1st support member and 2nd support member which consist of resin can be made as small as possible, the distortion by resin molding can be made relatively small, and processing precision (molding precision) Since the first support member and the second support member are positioned and supported at predetermined positions by the base made of a relatively high sheet metal, the support accuracy of the guide member is maintained well even if the member supporting the guide member is enlarged. be able to. That is, even if the guide member is large (long), the guide member can be supported at a desired position, and the guide member can guide and guide the first movable body and the second movable body through the guided member. Therefore, the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved more greatly, making it easy to recognize the production operation of the first movable body and the second movable body, and the entertainment operation is reduced by the production operation. Can be prevented.

  In addition, since the first support member and the second support member member made of resin that support both ends of the guide member can be made as small as possible, the first support member and the second support member member are formed. The mold can be made small, and an increase in manufacturing costs can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, the first support member and the second support member can be easily positioned and supported at a predetermined position separated by a predetermined distance simply by fitting the positioning protrusion into the positioning hole, and the guide member can be easily positioned at a desired position. Placement can be supported.

  In addition, since the base and the guide member are arranged and supported by the first support member and the second support member so as to be substantially parallel to each other, when the base and the guide member are formed using a highly rigid material, they are mutually connected. As a result of the assembly, the overall strength rigidity is further increased, and even if vibration or reaction force is applied due to the movement of the guided member, the guided member or the base does not bend or shake, and the guided member, i.e. The one movable body and the second movable body can be guided and guided satisfactorily.

  As the “resin”, an appropriate material such as a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin can be used, and examples thereof include “polycarbonate”, “polypropylene”, “polyethylene”, and “polyurethane”. In addition, it is desirable that injection molding be possible.

  The first support member and the second support member preferably each include at least two positioning protrusions, and the positioning protrusions are preferably arranged at positions as far as possible. As a result, the positioning accuracy of the first support member and the second support member in the base can be further increased, and thus the support accuracy of the guide member can be increased.

Means 17: In the configuration of means 16,
“The mounting contact surface of the base is
The moving means and the guide member supporting the guide member are bent at a substantially right angle ".

  According to the structure of the means 17, the base is made of a sheet metal having a mounting contact surface bent in a substantially right angle direction with respect to the support surface supporting the moving means and the guide member. Thereby, since the moving means and the guide member are supported in a direction substantially perpendicular to the mounting contact surface, the game board on which the mounting contact surface is fixed and the moving means and the guide member are less likely to interfere with each other. Thus, it is possible to satisfactorily attach and fix to the game board while supporting the moving means and the guide member.

  In addition, since the base can be press-molded, it can be manufactured in a large amount and at a low cost compared to a machined one, and a support surface for supporting the moving means and the guide member, and an attachment contact surface are provided. Since it is bent at a substantially right angle, it becomes possible to make it stronger and rigid than the flat plate material by the bent portion, and the base is deformed by the movement of the first movable body and the second movable body. And the moving means and the guide member can be prevented from wobbling, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be reliably guided and guided.

Means 18: In the constitution of means 16 or means 17,
“One end side and the other end side of the guide member in the rotation preventing means are respectively supported by the first support member and the second support member”.

  According to the structure of the means 18, both ends of the guide member in the rotation preventing means are supported by the first support member and the second support member. Thereby, it is not necessary to separately provide a support member for supporting the guide member, the configuration for supporting the guide member can be simplified, and an increase in cost can be suppressed. Further, since the support accuracy of the guide member can be improved similarly to the guide member, the relationship between the guide member and the guide member (for example, parallelism) even if the guide member is lengthened with the increase in the length of the guide member. Can be maintained in a good state, the shake of the guided member can be satisfactorily prevented, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be made larger by making the first movable body and the second movable body more prominent. The entertainment can be enhanced by the directing action of the movable body.

  When the guide member is used together with the base and the guide member and has high rigidity, the guide member is supported by the base via the first support member and the second support member, so the synergistic effect of the base, the guide member, and the guide member. It is possible to further increase the overall strength rigidity, and even if the guide member is made longer or the first movable body and the second movable body held by the guide member are made larger, the guided member can be guided by the guide member. The first movable body and the second movable body can be made larger and the movement amount and size of the first movable body and the second movable body can be made larger to make the first movable body and the second movable body stand out and enhance the production effect. be able to.

Means 19: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 18,
“The first movable body and the second movable body are decorative movable bodies capable of emitting light”.

  According to the structure of the means 19, the 1st movable body and the 2nd movable body are made into the decoration movable body which can light-emit. Accordingly, the first movable body and the second movable body can not only move in the vertical direction but also emit light, so that the player can notice the first movable body and the second movable body by light emission. Thus, the movement of the first movable body and the second movable body can be enjoyed to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

Means 20: In the configuration of means 19,
"The first movable body is
A portion corresponding to the eyes of the predetermined character is provided with a light emitting decoration display means that changes a display mode of light emission.

  Here, “the part corresponding to the eyes” means “the part corresponding to the eyeball”, “the part corresponding to the pupil”, “the part corresponding to the upper and lower eyelids”, “the part corresponding to the glasses and goggles”. , Etc. Further, examples of the “light emitting decoration display means” include “a light emitting display pattern or design that changes”, “a light emitting display pattern or design that changes color”, and the like.

  According to the configuration of the means 20, the light emitting decoration means is provided in a portion corresponding to the eyes of the predetermined character in the first movable body. As a result, the portion corresponding to the eyes of the predetermined character shines or the display mode changes, so that it is possible to make a strong impression on the player, and as a movable body with high impact, the interest is enhanced. it can.

Means 21: In any one configuration from means 15 to means 20,
"The guide member in the rotation preventing means is relative to the axis of the guide member.
A direction opposite to the direction of the first movable body or the second movable body held by the guided member,
Alternatively, the first movable body or the second movable body held by the guided member is disposed at a position substantially perpendicular to the direction of the first movable body or the second movable body.

  By the way, although various directions can be considered as a direction which arrange | positions a rotation prevention means with respect to the direction of the 1st movable body and the 2nd movable body hold | maintained at the to-be-guided member, a 1st movable body or a 2nd movable body can be considered. When the rotation preventing means is arranged in the same direction as the first movable body or the second movable body and the rotation preventing means are formed, the first movable body and the second movable body are equivalent to the rotation preventing means. The problem of becoming smaller occurs.

  According to the configuration of the means 21, the guide member of the rotation preventing means is arranged on the side opposite to the side on which the first movable body or the second movable body is disposed with respect to the axial center of the guide member, or the first movable body or And the side on which the second movable body is disposed is disposed on a side substantially perpendicular to the side.

  Accordingly, the guide member is not arranged on the same side as the side on which the first movable body and the second movable body are arranged with respect to the axis of the guide member, so that the guide member, that is, the rotation preventing means and the first movable body. And the second movable body can be prevented from wrapping (overlapping) with each other, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be prevented from being reduced by the wrapping. Since it can be enlarged as much as possible, it can be made a large first movable body or second movable body with a large amount of movement, and the first movable body or the second movable body is made conspicuous by its production operation. It can be of interest.

  When the guide member is disposed on the opposite side of the first movable body and the second movable body with respect to the axis of the guide member, the first movable body and the second movable body are viewed from the axial direction of the guide member. Since the guide member and the rotation preventing means are arranged in a substantially straight line, the amount of protrusion in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the first movable body and the second movable body can be suppressed with respect to the axis of the guide member. it can. That is, since the first movable body, the second movable body, and the guide member are arranged so as to be substantially along the surface of the game board, it is possible to suppress the increase in the thickness in the front-rear direction. It is possible to suppress an increase in the length (distance in the front-rear direction), and it is possible to satisfactorily correspond to an island facility in which a gaming machine conventionally used in a game hall or the like is installed. Further, since the rotation preventing means is arranged in a direction away from the first movable body and the second movable body with the guide member interposed therebetween, the rotation prevention function becomes higher as the guide member is moved away from the guide member, and the first movable body. In addition, it is easy to balance the weight of the second movable body and the rotation preventing means and the rotating means, and it is possible to correspond to larger first movable bodies and second movable bodies.

  Further, when the guide member is arranged on the side perpendicular to the movable member with respect to the axis of the guide member, the length in the direction in which the first movable body or the second movable body and the guide member are arranged becomes long. Therefore, it is possible to relatively increase the size (length) of the first movable body and the second movable body as much as possible, and the larger first movable body and second movable body. By realizing this, it is possible to enhance the interest rather than having an impact.

Means 22: In the configuration of means 21,
“In the first drive unit, the guide member is disposed at a position opposite to the direction of the first movable body cantilevered by the guided member with respect to the axis of the guide member,
In the second drive unit, the guide member is disposed at a position substantially perpendicular to the direction of the second movable body that is cantilevered by the guided member with respect to the axis of the guide member. It is characterized by being "

  According to the configuration of the means 22, in the rotation preventing means of the first drive unit, the guide member is placed on the opposite side of the first movable body with the guide member interposed therebetween, that is, the guide member and the guide member are in the left-right direction with respect to the game board. In the rotation preventing means of the second drive unit, the guide member is positioned substantially perpendicular to the first movable body from the guide member, that is, the guide member and the guide member are positioned relative to the game board. They are arranged in the front-rear direction.

  By the way, if the first movable body is provided with the light emitting decoration display means, the weight of the first movable body increases, and the guided member can be moved by rotating or moving the heavy first movable body up and down. The problem arises that the vibration of the head increases or tilts. However, according to this means, in the first drive unit that moves the first movable body, the guide member of the rotation preventing means is arranged on the opposite side of the first movable body with the guide member interposed therebetween, and the guide member, the guide member, The anti-rotation function by the anti-rotation means is enhanced by increasing the length in the left-right direction by separating the distance between the first distance and the weight balance between the first movable body and the weight of the rotation means and the anti-rotation means. The guided member, that is, the first movable body can be guided and guided satisfactorily. On the other hand, in the second drive unit that moves the second movable body, the guide member of the rotation preventing means is arranged in either of the front and rear directions of the guide member, so the length in the left and right direction can be shortened, The length of the direction in the first drive unit can be absorbed by the second drive unit, and the entire length in the left-right direction including the first drive unit and the second drive unit can be increased. The first movable body and the second movable body can be provided in the gaming machine in a good state while being suppressed.

Means 23: In any one configuration from means 7 to means 22,
“The first drive unit and the second drive unit are
It further comprises two sliding members that are slidably guided by the guiding member and held at predetermined intervals by the guided member.

  Here, as the “sliding member”, a member that can restrict the movement of the guide member in the direction perpendicular to the axis is desirable, and “the circular or polygonal bush shape”, “the dovetail shape”, “T In particular, when the bush shape is used, the guide member and the sliding member can be made of a variety of mold materials and standard materials which are inexpensive and abundant in types.

  The “guided member” includes “a body portion that holds the sliding members so as not to approach each other and a fixing member that fixes the sliding members so as not to be separated from each other”, “ A main body that holds the guide member so as not to approach and separate from each other and restricts the movement of the guide member in one direction with respect to the direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide member, and holds the slide member so as not to approach and separate from each other. In contrast, “consisting of a fixing member that restricts movement in the other direction”, “a combination of the main body and the fixing member as appropriate”, and the like.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine, since the size of the movable body is relatively small, the movable body is not conspicuous in the gaming machine, and there is a possibility that the effect by the movement of the movable body cannot be sufficiently obtained. Therefore, it is conceivable to make the movable body stand out by relatively increasing the size of the movable body so that the effect of the movement of the movable body can be enhanced, holding the enlarged movable body on the guided member, It can be considered that the guided member can be moved in the extending direction of the guiding member for guiding and guiding the guided member. However, in this case, the guided member is also enlarged with the increase in the size of the movable body, and when the guided member is slidably guided by the guiding member, the contact area of the sliding portion increases. Increased sliding resistance makes it impossible to guide and guide the guided member satisfactorily, or a moving means for moving the guided member requires a large driving force, which increases the overall size of the game. There is a risk that the machine will not be equipped.

  According to the configuration of the means 23, the guided members of the first drive unit and the second drive unit are configured to hold the two sliding members slidably guided by the guiding member at a predetermined interval. As a result, the guided member holding the first movable body and the second movable body is slidably guided to the guiding member via the two sliding members, so that the contact area of the sliding portion is reduced as much as possible. The sliding resistance can be reduced, the guided member can be guided and guided well in a predetermined direction together with the first movable body and the second movable body, and the movable body can be enlarged. It becomes possible to make the first movable body and the second movable body more conspicuous and to have a higher production effect, and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, since it is possible to suppress an increase in sliding resistance even if the first movable body and the second movable body are increased in size, the first movable body and the second movable body can be controlled without using a large moving means having a large driving force. The guided member holding the second movable body can be guided and guided satisfactorily, and the first movable body and the second movable body of a desired size can be provided in the gaming machine, which can be more interesting. It can be.

  Furthermore, since the sliding resistance can be reduced, the driving force required to move the guided member in a stationary state can be reduced, and the guided member can be easily started to move. That is, since the movement response of the guided member can be increased, the guided member, that is, the first movable body or the second movable body can be moved quickly, and the impact due to the movement of the movable body can be further increased. It is possible to suppress the interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, as a predetermined space | interval of two sliding members, it is desirable to arrange | position in the position away as much as possible. More specifically, when the clearance between the guiding member and the sliding member is the same, the smaller the distance between the two sliding members, the larger the backlash of the guided member and the worse the stability of the guided member. On the other hand, the larger the distance between the two sliding members, the smaller the backlash of the guided member, and the stability of the guided member is relatively improved. Therefore, the guided member can be guided and guided in a more stable state by the guiding member by disposing the two sliding members as far as possible.

  In addition, since the two sliding members are held at a predetermined interval, even if the first movable body and the second movable body are cantilevered, the guided member is tilted or rattled with respect to the guiding member. The guided member, that is, the first movable body and the second movable body can be guided and guided in a stable and good state, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be enlarged. Thus, the first movable body and the second movable body can be made more conspicuous and the production effect can be made higher, and it is possible to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

Means 24: In the structure of means 23,
“The guide member is
A friction-reducing layer is formed at least at a site where the sliding member slides ”.

  Here, as the “friction reducing layer”, for example, “a mirror polishing layer capable of reducing friction by polishing the surface”, “metal plating layer of chromium or the like”, “resin coating coated with a resin capable of reducing friction” Layer (Engineering plastic is preferable as the resin, and among them, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon (registered trademark), Turkite (registered trademark), BEAREE (registered trademark)), which is a fluorine-based resin, is preferable). Etc.

  By the way, it is conceivable to reduce the frictional resistance by applying a lubricant such as machine oil or grease to the sliding portions that slide in contact with each other. As a result, the applied lubricant may scatter and cause dirt, or if an electrical component or the like is disposed in the vicinity, there is a risk of short circuit or leakage due to the lubricant.

  According to the structure of the means 24, a friction reduction layer is formed in the site | part to which the sliding member of a guide member slides. As a result, the sliding resistance between the guiding member and the sliding member can be reduced, so that the guided member can be guided and guided satisfactorily through the sliding member, and the friction at the sliding portion is reduced. Thus, it is possible to prevent the guide member and the sliding member from being worn out at an early stage and causing the malfunction of the guided member, that is, the first movable body and the second movable body.

  In addition, since the friction reducing layer is formed on the induction member, the lubricant is not scattered compared to the case where the lubricant is used, and the occurrence of contamination due to the sliding of the sliding member is prevented. In addition, electrical components and the like can be arranged in the vicinity of the guide member, and the degree of design freedom of the gaming machine can be increased to further enhance the interest.

Means 25: In the structure of means 23 or 24,
“The guide member is
The cross-sectional outer shape is a circular shape, and the sliding member is a bush shape that is inserted and fitted into the guide member.

  Here, “the cross-sectional outer shape is a circular shape” may be any solid or hollow member as long as the outer shape is a circle. In addition, the “bush shape” may be a cylindrical shape having a circular hole that fits with the guide member, and may include a flange or the like for holding the guide member.

  According to the configuration of the means 25, the guide member has a bar shape with a circular cross-sectional outer shape, and the sliding member has a bush shape that fits the guide member. As a result, the guide member can be a mold such as a general round bar or pipe material, and the slide member can be a general cylindrical bush, which increases the cost of the guide member and the slide member. It is possible to suppress the sliding, and it is possible to slide the sliding member satisfactorily.

Means 26: In any one configuration from means 13 to means 25,
"It further comprises two support bushes that are inserted and fitted into the support shaft,
The two support bushes are held by the guided member at a predetermined interval, so that the support shaft is rotatably held by the guided member via the support bush. To do.

  According to the configuration of the means 26, the support shaft is rotatably held on the guided member via the two support bushes. As a result, compared with the case where the support shaft is rotatably held by the guided member as a whole, the contact portion with the support shaft is reduced as much as possible, and the frictional resistance applied to the support shaft is reduced. Therefore, the support shaft can be rotated well, and the first movable body and the second movable body supported by the support shaft can be smoothly operated to enhance the excitement.

Means 27: In the configuration of means 26,
"The guided member is
It has a main body part that holds the two sliding members and the two support bushes by sandwiching them at predetermined intervals, and a fixing member ”.

  Here, “holding between the main body portion and the fixing member” is sufficient if it can be held by sandwiching the sliding member and the supporting bush between the main body portion and the fixing member. “Attached from both sides in the axial direction”, “Attached from both sides in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the sliding member and the supporting bush”, “One of the sliding member and the supporting bush from the axial direction, and the other What is sandwiched from the direction perpendicular to the axis ”and the like.

  According to the configuration of the means 27, the two sliding members and the support bush are sandwiched between the main body portion and the fixing member of the guided member. Accordingly, the two sliding members and the support bush can be easily held at a predetermined interval by the main body portion and the fixing member, and can be easily assembled.

  As the guided member, for example, the body portion is provided with an insertion hole through which the guiding member can be inserted, and a stepped recess for accommodating the sliding member is formed at both ends of the insertion hole. The sliding member is prevented from coming close to each other by contacting the sliding member, and the fixing member comes into contact with the axially outer end surface of the sliding member housed in the stepped recess of the main body portion. A retaining piece may be provided to restrict the sliding members from being separated from each other by the retaining piece of the fixing member. Accordingly, the sliding member can be held at a predetermined position by simply fixing the fixing member to the main body, and can be easily assembled. Further, since the movement of the sliding member in the direction perpendicular to the axis is restricted only by the main body, the sliding member is compared with the case where the main body and the fixing member cooperate and restrict the movement. It is possible to use a single member in which the portion that restricts the movement is continuous, and the movement can be more firmly restricted.

  Further, the guided member may be provided with a housing portion space and a housing portion in which a predetermined amount of gap is formed between the guide member and the support shaft between the two sliding members and the support bush. Thus, it becomes possible to store a lubricant such as machine oil or grease in the storage space or the storage, and the lubricant between the sliding member and the guide member, or between the support bush and the support shaft. Sliding resistance, frictional resistance, and the like can be further reduced, and can be moved and rotated more smoothly.

An urging means for urging in the direction to be guided, a guide member disposed substantially parallel to the guide member, and a guided member that is held by the guided member and is restricted from moving in the direction perpendicular to the axis by the guide member, In the first drive unit, the guide member is the guided part. An anti-rotation means that is disposed on the opposite side of the first movable body with the material interposed therebetween, and in the second drive unit, the guide member is disposed in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the second movable body is disposed from the guided member; A solenoid having a plunger that advances and retreats and a transmission means that transmits and supports the support shaft by advancing and retreating the plunger, and a pivot that is disposed on the opposite side of the guided member from the side on which the movable body is held A first support member made of a resin that supports one end side of the guide member and the guide member and has a positioning projection; and a second support member that supports the other end side of the guide member and the guide member and has a positioning projection. A support member, a support surface having a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning protrusions of the first support member and the second support member, and a mounting contact surface that is bent in a substantially perpendicular direction to the support surface and disposed on the upper side. Support Those comprising a base made of wood and the second driving pulley with a support member for positioning the support in a predetermined position, the sheet metal that is fixedly attached to rotation drive means and the guide member or the like on the back side of the support to the game board.

  As a result, the first movable body and the second movable body representing the face of the predetermined character can be brought close to each other, separated from each other, only one of them can be moved up and down, or both can be moved up and down in the same direction. It becomes possible. In other words, it is possible to move the face of the predetermined character up and down, open and close the mouth of the face of the predetermined character, and the movable bodies become conspicuous in the gaming machine, so that the player pays attention to those movable bodies It is possible to entertain the production operation by the first movable body and the second movable body and prevent the interest from deteriorating. In addition, since it has two movable bodies, the first movable body and the second movable body, it is possible to increase the types (variations) of directing operations by combining their respective movements, and to get bored with more entertaining operations. It is difficult to prevent the player's interest from being reduced by the production operation.

  In addition, by moving the first movable body and the second movable body toward and away from each other by the first drive unit and the second drive unit, the mouth of the predetermined character is closed or opened. The movement of the mouth of the player can have a strong impact on the player and entertain, thereby preventing the interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, since the mounting contact surface of the base is mounted and fixed on the rear side of the game board so that the first movable body and the second movable body can be visually recognized through the through hole, the base is mounted on the rear side of the game board. Even if attached, the movable body guided and guided to the guiding member supported by the base through the through hole can be visually recognized by the player, and the fun of the first movable body and the second movable body is reduced and the interest is lowered. In addition, even if the above-mentioned movable body is provided in the gaming machine, the gaming area is not narrowed for mounting and fixing the base, and a sufficient gaming area is secured. It is possible to prevent the movement of the game medium from becoming a monotonous movement and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Furthermore, since the first movable body and the second movable body are moved on the front side of the effect display means, it is possible to bring the effect mode displayed on the effect display means and the movable body as close as possible. It becomes possible, and it can be made easier to associate the production mode with the production operation of the first movable body and the second movable body, and by the collaboration by the production operation of the production mode and the first movable body and the second movable body, It is possible to provide an unprecedented high impact production and enhance the interest of the player.

  In addition, since the first drive unit and the second drive unit are arranged on the left and right outer sides of the effect display means, the length of the first drive unit and the second drive unit is at least the length of the effect display means in the vertical direction. Can be secured, and can be made longer than the case where the first drive unit and the second drive unit are arranged on the upper side or the lower side of the effect display means. The amount of movement of the movable body can be increased so that the player can stand out, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be enjoyed to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating.

  In addition, since the moving body for applying tension to the drive belt is guided and guided by the guiding member that guides and guides the guided member, the moving body is moved in a direction in which the driving pulley and the driven pulley are separated from each other. It is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for making it possible to simplify the entire apparatus and to suppress an overall increase in size. That is, since it is possible to prevent the overall size from being increased, it is possible to relatively increase the size of the first movable body and the second movable body and to increase the amount of movement. It is possible to easily recognize the production operation of the second movable body and prevent the entertainment from being lowered by the production operation.

  In addition, since the urging force of the urging means acts between the guide hole that is guided and guided by the guide member in the moving body and the locking portion that locks and holds the shaft portion of the driven pulley, The urging force of the urging means applied to the moving body is applied substantially equally to the guiding member side and the driven pulley side, and the moving body can be prevented from being inclined with respect to the guiding member. Can be satisfactorily guided and guided, and a predetermined tension can be satisfactorily applied to the drive belt by the urging force of the urging means, whereby the tension of the drive belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley can be increased. Thus, the drive belt can be driven to rotate favorably.

  Furthermore, since the moving body is provided with a hook-shaped locking portion that is open on the opposite side of the driving pulley and locks the shaft portion of the driven pulley, the shaft portion can be rotated while the driving belt is wound around the driven pulley. The driven pulley and the drive belt can be easily assembled and the urging force can be applied to the drive belt simply by locking the to the locking portion.

  In addition, since only the mounting contact surface, which is a part of the entire length of the base, is attached and fixed to the game board, even if there is a dimensional error of the game board or base, etc. It is possible to reduce the effects of errors as much as possible, and even if the base is attached and fixed to the game board, it is possible to prevent problems such as distortion from occurring, and the base is attached to the game board well. be able to. Therefore, even if the length of the guide member for guiding and guiding the first movable body and the second movable body is increased, the base can be satisfactorily attached and fixed to the game board even if the base supporting the guide member becomes longer. Therefore, it is possible to increase the length of the guide member so that the first movable body and the second movable body move greatly, and to easily recognize the rendering operation of the first movable body and the second movable body. Thus, it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being reduced by the effect operation.

  Furthermore, the mounting contact surface disposed on the upper side of the base is fixed to the game board, that is, the mounting is fixed only on one side of the base, so that the mounting to the game board is the base. For example, the left and right forces are applied to the surface of the game board so that the center of gravity of the base moves from the vertical line of the mounting contact surface to the left and right. Even if it shifts to either, the rotation moment applied to the center of gravity acts to return the center of gravity of the base to the vertical line of the mounting contact surface, and the base returns to its original position. It is possible to suppress the force other than the weight acting on the base from acting on the base, and it is possible to satisfactorily mount and fix the base, and it is possible to prevent the base from being deformed and causing problems.

  In addition, a mounting hole for inserting a screw is formed in the upper part of the mounting contact surface of the base, so that the number of screws can be reduced as much as possible because it is mounted only at the upper part of the base. In addition to simplifying the time and effort required for mounting, it is possible to make it difficult to apply the rotational moment applied to the screw and the mounting contact surface as much as possible for the same reason as described above. Can be fixed.

  In addition, a drive pulley of the moving means is disposed on the same upper side as the side on which the mounting contact surface of the base for mounting and fixing to the game board is disposed. In other words, the rotational drive means for rotationally driving the drive pulley is supported on the upper side of the base close to the attachment contact surface, so that the attachment application is performed at a position as close as possible to the rotational drive means that is a source of vibration and reaction force. Each member such as a guide member supported by the base by vibration of the base is able to prevent the vibration from the rotation driving means from being transmitted to the entire base and is fixed to the game board via the contact surface. It is possible to prevent the guided member from being able to be guided and guided satisfactorily due to vibration and contact with other members and being damaged, or the assembly of the members being loosened.

  Furthermore, since the guided member holding the first movable body and the second movable body is slidably guided to the guiding member via the two sliding members, the contact area of the sliding portion is reduced as much as possible. The sliding resistance can be reduced, the guided member can be guided and guided well in the vertical direction together with the first movable body and the second movable body, and the first movable body and the second movable body. The size of the body can be increased, the first movable body and the second movable body can be made more conspicuous, and the production effect can be made higher, and it is possible to prevent the interest from deteriorating. Further, since it is possible to suppress an increase in sliding resistance even if the first movable body and the second movable body are increased in size, the first movable body and the second movable body can be controlled without using a large moving means having a large driving force. The guided member holding the second movable body can be guided and guided satisfactorily, and the first movable body and the second movable body of a desired size can be provided in the gaming machine, which can be more interesting. It can be.

  Furthermore, since the sliding resistance can be reduced, the driving force required to move the guided member in a stationary state can be reduced, and the guided member can be easily started to move. In other words, since the movement response of the guided member can be increased, the guided member, that is, the first movable body or the second movable body can be moved quickly, and the impact due to those movements can be further increased. It is possible to suppress the interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, since the friction reducing layer is formed on the surface of the guide member and the sliding resistance between the guide member and the slide member can be reduced, the guided member can be guided and guided well through the slide member. In addition, the friction at the sliding portion is reduced and it is possible to make it difficult to wear, and the guiding member and the sliding member are quickly worn and the guided member, that is, the operation of the first movable body and the second movable body. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects.

  Furthermore, since the support shaft is rotatably held by the guided member via the two support bushes, this makes it possible to compare the support shaft with the guided member so that the entire portion can be rotated. Thus, the contact portion with the support shaft is reduced as much as possible, the frictional resistance applied to the support shaft can be reduced, the support shaft can be rotated well, and the movable supported by the support shaft. It is possible to enhance the interest by making the body move smoothly.

  In addition, since the two sliding members and the two support bushes are held at predetermined positions by the main body portion and the fixing member of the guided member, the two sliding members and the two support members are thereby supported. The bush can be easily held by the main body and the fixing member, and can be easily assembled.

  Furthermore, the first movable body and the second movable body are moved by the rotational drive of the drive belt, and the first movable body and the second movable body are compared with the case where a moving means such as a screw member is used. The moving speed can be moved faster, and the first moving body and the second moving body that move faster can impress the player strongly. It is possible to entertain the operation, and it is possible to prevent the interest in the game from decreasing. In addition, it is possible to further reduce the size compared to the case where the same movement amount is moved using a solenoid or a cylinder, and it can be easily installed in the gaming machine, and the first movable body or the second movable body. Even if the movement amount of the body is increased, it can be installed in the gaming machine, so that the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved more greatly, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be operated. Can be easily recognized, and it is possible to prevent the interest from deteriorating due to the production operation.

  Further, since the guided member is guided and guided by the guiding member, even if the guided member is moved using a flexible belt, the guided member can be guided and guided straight by the guiding member. In this case, the guided member, that is, the movable body can be favorably moved in a desired posture.

  Furthermore, by engaging the engagement teeth and the engaged teeth of the drive belt and the drive pulley with each other, the drive belt can be made difficult to slide on the outer peripheral surface of the drive pulley, and the drive pulley can reliably rotate. It can be transmitted to the drive belt, and even if the rotation speed of the drive pulley is increased, no slip occurs between the drive pulley and the drive belt, so that the drive belt can be driven at a higher speed. The movable body can be moved at a higher speed via the guided member, and the movement with stronger impact can be made to the first movable body or the second movable body, so that the excitement can be enhanced.

  Further, since the driving pulley is arranged on the upper side and the driven pulley is arranged on the lower side, the driving belt is pulled downward, that is, in a direction away from the driving pulley, due to the weight of the fixed guided member or the like. This force increases the wrapping force of the drive belt around the drive pulley and increases the frictional force between the drive pulley and the drive belt, making it difficult for the drive belt to slip. The driven member can be driven and the driven pulley and the driving belt can be prevented from slipping and the guided member can be prevented from descending, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved through the guided member. It is possible to make the first movable body and the second movable body perform a predetermined production operation, and the excitement can be enhanced.

  In addition, since the biasing means for biasing the driven pulley in the direction away from the drive pulley is provided, a predetermined tension can be applied to the drive belt, and the drive belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley can be provided. The driving belt can be driven to rotate favorably with appropriate tension.

  Further, the driving pulley and the driven pulley are arranged in the vertical direction, and the guide member is arranged in the vertical direction so as to substantially follow the surface of the game board, that is, the first movable body and the second movable body are used in the game machine. Because it moves in the vertical direction (direction along the surface of the game board), which is relatively large with respect to the dimension in the direction perpendicular to the board surface (front-rear direction), the first movable body And the amount of movement of the second movable body can be increased as much as possible, making it easier to recognize the movement of the first movable body and the second movable body, entertaining the production operation and reducing interest Can be prevented. In addition, since the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved in the vertical direction, the first movable body and the second movable body move in the vertical direction substantially the same as the flow direction of the game medium flowing down the game area. The player can easily move the line of sight between the game medium and the first movable body or the second movable body, and the player can be prevented from getting tired early and prevent the interest from being lowered. it can.

  In addition, the first support member and the second support member member made of resin are supported by the base made of sheet metal, and the guide member is supported by the first support member and the second support member member. Then, it becomes possible to make the resin member that increases the strain as small as possible, and even if the guide member is made large (long), the guide member can be accurately supported at a desired position. The first movable body and the second movable body can be guided and guided satisfactorily through the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved more greatly. It is possible to easily recognize the production operation of the second movable body, and to prevent the interest from being lowered by the production operation.

  In addition, since the base, the guide member, and the guide member are integrally assembled by the first support member and the second support member, and the overall strength rigidity is enhanced by the synergistic effect of the respective rigidity, the base and guide Even if the length of the member is increased and the amount of movement of the guided member is increased, the base and the guiding member are prevented from being deformed by the reaction force or vibration generated by the movement of the guided member. The first movable body and the second movable body can be moved well, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be moved more greatly to recognize the directing action of the first movable body and the second movable body. It is easy to prevent the interest from being lowered by the production operation.

  Further, when assembling the first support member and the second support member and the base, the first support member and the second support member are moved to a predetermined position separated by a predetermined distance only by fitting the positioning protrusion into the positioning hole. The positioning member can be easily positioned and supported, and the guide member can be easily arranged and supported at a desired position.

  Furthermore, since the rotation means for rotating the support shaft that supports the first movable body and the second movable body is provided, the first movable body and the second movable body are rotated around the axis of the support shaft. It is possible to move the movable body not only in the vertical direction in which the guide member extends but also in the direction around the axis of the support shaft, and the movement of the first movable body and the second movable body is more complicated. In addition, the opening / closing operation of the mouth of the predetermined character becomes a more realistic operation, and the appealing power to the player is strengthened, and the excitement is enhanced by making the movement with a higher production effect. be able to.

  Further, the rotating means for rotating the support shaft is disposed on the opposite side of the guided member from the side where the movable member is held. As a result, the guided member holds the movable body on one side with the guiding member interposed therebetween, and the rotating means on the other side, and a predetermined load is applied to both sides of the guiding member. As a result, the biased load applied to the guided member is mitigated, the occurrence of uneven friction and wear between the guided member and the guiding member is suppressed, and the guided member is guided and guided to the guiding member by the biased load. Can be prevented from being awkwardly moved without being guided smoothly or being unable to guide and guide.

  In addition, since a solenoid is used as a drive source for the rotation means, it is possible to make a quick response with a higher response than when using a motor, and a movable body can perform a strong impact operation. Can be more interesting.

  In addition, since the guided member can be prevented from rotating around the axis of the guiding member by the rotation preventing means, the guided member can be held by the guided member even when the guided member is moved by a drive belt having a lot of vibration. It is possible to satisfactorily prevent the first movable body and the second movable body from rotating around the axis of the guiding member, that is, swinging around the axis, and to achieve a desired effect by suppressing unintentional shake. Can be reliably performed, and the interest can be prevented from decreasing, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be made larger. The body can be made more conspicuous and the production effect can be further enhanced.

  Furthermore, since both ends of the guide member in the rotation preventing means are supported by the first support member and the second support member, there is no need to separately provide a support member for supporting the guide member, and the guide member is supported. The structure for doing so can be simplified and the increase in cost can be suppressed. Further, since the support accuracy of the guide member can be improved similarly to the guide member, the relationship between the guide member and the guide member (for example, parallelism) even if the guide member is lengthened with the increase in the length of the guide member. Can be maintained in a good state, the shake of the guided member can be satisfactorily prevented, and the first movable body and the second movable body can be made larger by making the first movable body and the second movable body more prominent. The entertainment can be enhanced by the directing action of the movable body.

  Further, in the first drive unit that moves the first movable body, the guide member of the rotation preventing means is disposed on the opposite side of the first movable body with the guide member interposed therebetween, and the distance between the guide member and the guide member is a predetermined distance. Increase the anti-rotation function by the anti-rotation means by increasing the length in the left-right direction, and improve the weight balance with the first movable body by the weight of the rotation means and anti-rotation means, The first movable body can be guided and guided satisfactorily. On the other hand, in the second drive unit that moves the second movable body, the guide member of the rotation preventing means is arranged in either of the front and rear directions of the guide member, so the length in the left and right direction can be shortened, The length of the direction in the first drive unit can be absorbed by the second drive unit, and the entire length in the left-right direction including the first drive unit and the second drive unit can be increased. The first movable body and the second movable body can be provided in the gaming machine in a good state while being suppressed.

The right movable decorative body driving unit 236 and the left movable decorative body driving unit 237 are provided for rotating the right movable decorative body 234 and the left movable decorative body 235 about predetermined axes, respectively.

  The main character 213 further includes a chucker 238 capable of detecting a game ball passing through a predetermined area in the game area 37. The chucker 238 is attached to the left edge of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 and detects a passage of the game ball, and has an opening that covers the passage detection sensor 239 from the front and allows the game ball to pass in the vertical direction. The chucker cover 240 is provided. When a game ball that flows down in the game area 37 enters from the upper side of the chucker cover 240, the chucker 238 detects the game ball by the passage detection sensor 239, and then detects the detected game ball on the lower side of the chucker cover 240. The game area 37 is returned to the game area 37 again.

  The main decorative body 213 has a frame-shaped decorative body 230 provided with a warp inlet 250 below a portion to which the passage detection sensor 238 is attached, and below the warp inlet 250 the inner side of the frame-shaped decorative body 230. A warp outlet 251 is formed in the frame-shaped decorative body 230, and a warp passage 252 that connects the warp inlet 250 and the warp outlet 251 is formed inside the frame-shaped decorative body 230. The warp passage 252 is formed by closing an opening portion of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 formed in a U-shape in cross section by a part of the partition plate 233, and a game ball that flows down along the game board surface Can be taken in from the outer side (outer periphery) of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 to the inner side through the warp passage 252.

  The frame-like decorative body 230 of the main character 213 has a rolling surface 253 that is continuous from the warp outlet 251 of the warp passage 252 and can roll the game ball in the left-right direction on the upper surface of the lower edge portion thereof. A stage 256 is provided which is provided on the front side of the surface 253 and includes a weir portion 255 having a predetermined height and having open portions 254 on the left and right. In this stage 256, the game ball taken in through the warp passage 252 is rolled in the left-right direction so that various changes can be made in its movement, and the game ball rolling on the stage 256 is It flows out from the opening part 254 to the front of the stage 256. The game balls on the stage 256 are prevented from flowing out behind the stage 256 by the partition plate 233 attached to the rear side of the frame-shaped decorative body 230.

  In addition, the frame-shaped decorative body 230 of the main character 213 further includes a ball guiding path 257 for guiding the game ball on the stage 256 so as to flow down almost right above the center of the main winning prize opening unit 214. The ball guide path 257 is disposed substantially at the center so as to sandwich the left and right opening portions 254 of the stage 256, guides the game ball to the rear side of the stage 256, and below the ball guide portion 258 and on the stage 256. A ball receiving portion 259 that extends to the rear side and is capable of receiving a game ball from above, and a ball outlet that opens the game ball received by the ball receiving portion 259 below the ball guide portion 258 and on the front side of the stage 256 And a sphere guiding portion 261 that guides the fluid so as to flow out from 260. Note that a ball guiding recess 262 that protrudes rearward is formed in a substantially central lower portion of the partition plate 233, and the game ball guided to the rear side of the stage 256 by the ball guiding portion 258 is guided to the ball guiding recess 262. Thus, the ball receiving portion 259 can be satisfactorily received without flowing out to the rear side of the partition plate 233.

  Further, the frame-shaped decorative body 230 of the main character 213 has a surface on the opposite side of the warp passage 252 across the stage 256 so that the central side in the left-right direction of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 is slightly lowered. Further provided is an extended rolling surface 263 that is continuous with the rolling surface 253. The extended rolling surface 263 is taken in from the warp inlet 250 and supplied to the stage 256 at a predetermined initial speed via the warp passage 252, gets over the weir portion 255 of the stage 256 and flows out of the stage 256. This is intended to prevent this. As shown in the drawing, a part of the character body 231 is arranged on the front side of the extended rolling surface 263, and a groove having a predetermined depth is formed in cooperation with the partition plate 233. Thus, even if the game ball bounces on the extended rolling surface 263, it is difficult for the game ball to drop off from the extended rolling surface 263 (see FIG. 19).

  The operation of the extended rolling surface 263 will be described in detail. A game ball supplied at a predetermined initial speed through the warp passage 252 rolls from the left end of the stage 256 to the right end and is placed on the extended rolling surface 263. At that time, the stage 256 is shaped so that the center thereof is low and the left and right ends are high, so that the speed of the game ball decreases as it rolls to the right end of the stage 256, but the warp path Since the speed of the game ball circulating in the 252 is different, the initial speed when supplied to the stage 256 is also different. For example, instead of the extended rolling surface 263, a ball contact portion is provided at the right end of the stage 256. If it is provided, depending on the speed of the game ball, it will be bounced by contact with the ball contact portion, get over the weir portion 255 of the stage 256 and drop off from the stage 256, so that the game ball is satisfactorily placed on the stage 256. Can not be moving, it may not be entertained movement of game balls.

  On the other hand, in this example, the extended rolling surface 263 is provided at the right end of the stage 256, and even when a game ball that rolls at a predetermined speed reaches the right end of the stage 256, the extended rolling surface 263 is moved to. So that it can be prevented from falling off the stage 256 by being bounced at the right end of the stage 256. In addition, a groove having a predetermined depth is formed on the extended rolling surface 263 in cooperation with the character body 231 and the partition plate 233, so that even if a game ball bounces on the extended rolling surface 263, the extended rolling surface 263. The game ball can be prevented from falling off. Furthermore, since the extended rolling surface 263 is a flat surface with the central side (left end) of the frame-shaped decorative body 230 slightly lowered, the speed of the game ball rolling from the extended rolling surface 263 to the stage 256 is increased. The game ball can be returned to the stage 256 at a suitable speed, and the game ball can be favorably rolled on the stage 256.

The ball guide path 270 has a plurality of protrusions 274 so that the game balls flowing down the ball guide path 270 come into contact with the protrusions 274, thereby reducing the flow speed of the game balls and increasing the flow speed of the game balls. Can be suppressed. The ball guide path 270 is formed so as to guide the game ball to the vicinity of the lower side of the main winning opening unit 214.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the ball guide path 270 guides the game ball driven into the upper part of the game area 37 to the vicinity of the lower side of the main winning opening unit 214. When the game ball is guided by the game ball, the possibility of winning the main prize opening unit 214 is reduced. Therefore, the game ball can be driven so that the game ball is not guided to the ball guide path 270. Becomes monotonous and can prevent the interest from deteriorating. Further, when the game ball is guided by the ball guide path 270, the flow rate of the game ball is suppressed by the projection 274, so that the game ball is prevented from being released from the ball guide path 270 and released. Prevent the game ball from coming into contact with the main prize opening unit 214, the game area decoration body 215, etc., or even if it comes into contact, the speed is reduced to reduce the impact as much as possible.

  After this, the decorative body 216 is attached and fixed on the rear side of the game board base 212 on the right side of the center in front view, and moves mainly in the vertical direction, and the upper part of the face including the upper jaw of a predetermined character is shaped. First decorative movable body unit 431 having 430, and mounted and fixed on the rear surface side of game board base 212 on the opposite side in the left-right direction with respect to first decorative movable body unit 431, and vertically below first decorative movable body 430 A second decorative movable body unit 433 having a second decorative movable body 432 in which the lower jaw corresponding to the first decorative movable body 430 is formed, and the first decorative movable body unit 431 and the second decorative movable body unit. A decorative movable body unit cover 435 that covers the outer peripheral side and the rear side of 433, has a rectangular opening 434 in the center, and can be mounted with an effect display device 217 on the rear side, and a first decorative movable body unit. A first decorative body 436 disposed between 431 and the decorative movable body unit cover 435, and a second decorative body 437 disposed between the second decorative movable body unit 433 and the decorative movable body unit cover 435. I have.

  Thereafter, the decorative body 216 causes the first decorative movable body 430 of the first decorative movable body unit 431 and the second decorative movable body 432 of the second decorative movable body unit 433 to approach or separate from each other. By moving each of them up and down, it is possible to perform an effect operation such that the mouth of a predetermined character opens or closes.

  Thereafter, the first decorative movable body unit 431 of the decorative body 216 moves the first decorative movable body 430 in which the upper part of the face between the upper jaw and the eyebrows of the predetermined character is shaped, and the first decorative movable body 430 in the vertical direction. And is rotated around an axis extending in the left-right direction of the game board 5 and attached to the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 which is attached and fixed to the rear surface side of the game board base 212, and the first decorative movable body drive unit 450. And a unit decoration body 451 for decoration.

  The first decorative movable body 430 of the first decorative movable body unit 431 has sunglasses 453 having a substantially black lens portion 452 and a first decorative movable body having an opening hole 454 that penetrates at a position corresponding to the eyes of the character. Light emission in which a body main body 455 and a plurality of LEDs 456 that are arranged on the rear side of the first decorative movable body main body 455 and can emit light of a predetermined color are provided on the front side through the opening holes 454 of the first decorative movable body main body 455. The base plate 457 is disposed on the rear side of the light emitting substrate 457, and includes a sunglasses 453, a first decorative movable body main body 455, and a base member 458 assembled integrally with the light emitting substrate 457.

  As shown in the drawing, the lens portion 452 of the sunglasses 453 in the first decorative movable body 430 has a pattern appearing on the surface according to the color of light emitted from the LED 456 of the light emitting substrate 457. Specifically, When a red light is emitted from the LED 456, a “crescent-like pattern” appears, and when a blue light is emitted from the LED 456, a “predetermined Chinese character” (here, “place”) related to the character appears. It has become. The lens portion 452 has a structure in which the “crescent-shaped pattern” and the “predetermined Chinese character” are arranged so as to overlap with each other, and the overlapped portion is colorless or white and has a translucent white portion 459. The portion where the “crescent-shaped pattern” does not overlap is the red portion 460 having red translucency, and the portion where the “predetermined Chinese character” does not overlap is the blue portion 461 having blue translucency. The other part is a black part 462 that is substantially black.

  In this example, since the lens portion 452 has the above-described configuration, for example, when red light is emitted from the LED 456, the red light is transmitted through the white portion 459 and the red portion 460, and the blue portion 461 and the black portion 462 are transmitted. Then, since red light is not transmitted, a “crescent-shaped pattern” by the white portion 459 and the red portion 460 appears. On the other hand, when the blue light is irradiated from the LED 456, the blue light is transmitted through the white portion 459 and the blue portion 461, and the blue light is not transmitted through the red portion 460 and the black portion 462. The “predetermined kanji” will appear. As described above, by appropriately combining the colored light and the colored member having translucency, a desired pattern can be easily displayed without using an expensive display device such as an LCD. .

  In this example, the light emitting substrate 457 to which the LED 456 is attached is formed on a highly light-shielding member. Specifically, a light shielding member made of a black paint or black film having a high light shielding property is provided on the back side of the light emitting substrate 457. As a result, light other than the LED 456 is prevented from entering from the rear side of the lens unit 452, and when the LED 456 is turned off, the white part 459, the red part 460, and the blue part 461 other than the black part 462 can be seen. It comes to suppress. In addition, the LED 456 is used as the light source, and the wavelength band of the emitted color is narrow compared with other light sources, and the content of other color components is small, so that a desired color pattern can be more reliably displayed. It has become.

  Further, the light emitting substrate 457 and the sunglasses 453 of this example correspond to the light emitting decoration display means of the present invention.

  Further, the first decorative movable body 430 is provided with a fixing portion 463 for fixing and supporting the first decorative movable body driving unit 450 on the base member 458, and the first decorative movable body is provided by the fixed portion 463. 430 is supported by the first decorative movable body drive unit 450.

  Next, the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 supports the first decorative movable body 430 and moves the first decorative movable body 430 in the vertical direction together with the first decorative movable body 430, and the first vertical movable member 470 in the vertical direction. A guide rail 471 for guiding, a first upper support member 472 for supporting the upper end portion of the guide rail 471, a first lower support member 473 for supporting the lower end portion of the guide rail 471, the first upper support member 472, and the first A first base 475 which has a mounting contact surface 474 which supports the lower support member 473 at a predetermined distance in the vertical direction and abuts against the rear surface side of the game board base 212 and is formed by bending a sheet metal; A first drive motor 477 that is disposed on the opposite side of the first upper support member 472 of the 475 and that projects through the first base 475 and the first upper support member 472 and whose rotating drive shaft 476 protrudes; A drive pulley 478 that rotates as the drive shaft 476 of the first drive motor 477 rotates, a driven pulley 479 disposed near the first lower support member 473 so as to be paired with the drive pulley 478, and a drive pulley 478 and a driven pulley 479, and a belt fixing portion 481 for connecting and fixing a part of the driving belt 480 to the first elevating member 470.

  In this example, the rotation of the drive pulley 478 by the first drive motor 477 is performed when the rotation of the drive gear 482 fixed to the drive shaft 476 of the first drive motor 477 is arranged above the drive gear 482. The drive pulley 478 is rotationally driven by being transmitted to a transmission gear 483 that meshes with 482 and rotates integrally with the drive pulley 478. By using the drive gear 482 and the transmission gear 483, the position of the drive pulley 478 is made higher than the drive shaft 476 of the first drive motor 477 so that the vertical movable range of the first elevating member 470 is increased. It has become. Further, the inner peripheral surface of the drive belt 480 is provided with engagement teeth 484 at predetermined intervals over the entire circumference, and the drive pulley 478 has engaged teeth 485 that engage with the engagement teeth 484. The rotational drive of the drive pulley 478 is reliably transmitted to the drive belt 480 by the engagement between the engaged teeth 485 and the engagement teeth 484. The driven pulley 479 is a flat pulley without engaged teeth.

  The first decorative movable body drive unit 450 is further provided with first rotation preventing means 490 for preventing the first elevating member 470 from rotating about the axial direction in which the guide rail 471 extends. The first rotation preventing means 490 includes a guide rod 491 supported at the upper and lower ends thereof by the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473, and disposed substantially parallel to the guide rail 471, and the front-rear direction. And a guide member 492 attached to the first elevating member 470. As shown in the figure, the first rotation preventing means 490 has a guide rod 491 disposed on the right side of the guide rail 471 at a predetermined distance and a guide member 492 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. The first elevating member 470 can be satisfactorily prevented from rotating around the axis of the guide rail 471 by abutting on any one of the front and rear sides.

  In this example, the guide rail 471 and the guide rod 491 are both metal round bars, and a friction reducing layer for reducing sliding resistance is formed on the surface of the guide rail 471. The friction reducing layer is coated with, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, (for example, Teflon (registered trademark))) as a fluororesin with a predetermined thickness, and is thereby guided by the guide rail 471. The value of the dynamic frictional resistance and the value of the static frictional resistance of the first elevating member 470 can be made as close as possible, and when the stationary first elevating member 470 starts moving, the movement can be started smoothly, The durability of the guide rail 471 and the like can be reduced by reducing wear. Further, the surface of the guide rod 491 is chrome-plated to prevent corrosion such as rust and improve durability, and it is less expensive than the guide rail 471 and prevents an increase in cost. It can be done.

  The first decorative movable body drive unit 450 further includes a tension mechanism 493 that applies a predetermined tension to the drive belt 480. The tension mechanism 493 is guided by the guide rail 471 and rotatably supports the driven pulley 479, and one end is attached to the movable body 494 and the other end is attached to the first base 475, and the movable body 494 is moved downward. And a tension spring 495 for biasing.

  The moving body 494 of the tension mechanism 493 includes a guide hole 496 through which the guide rail 471 is inserted, a hook-shaped locking portion 498 that locks the shaft portion 497 that is opened downward and protrudes from both ends of the driven pulley 479, and a guide. A spring mounting portion 499 that is disposed between the hole 496 and the locking portion 498 and attaches one end of the tension spring 495 is provided. As a result, the driven pulley 479 can be supported by the movable body 494 in a state where the drive belt 480 is wound around the driven pulley 479, and assembly is facilitated. Further, since the drive belt 480 is pulled by the tension spring 495 between the guide hole 496 and the locking portion 498 that locks the shaft portion 497 of the driven pulley 479, the guide hole is guided with respect to the shaft of the guide rail 471. The shaft of 496 can be prevented from being greatly inclined, the sliding resistance of the moving body 494 on the guide rail 471 is prevented from increasing, the moving body 494 can move smoothly, and the moving body The posture of 494 is prevented from changing greatly, and the drive belt 480 is tensioned well.

  In the first decorative movable body drive unit 450, as shown in the figure, the drive pulley 478 is disposed on the upper side and the driven pulley 479 is disposed on the lower side. The belt 480 is urged downward by the tension mechanism 493 via the driven pulley 479. Further, since the first elevating member 470 is fixed to the driving belt 480, the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 is applied to the driving belt 480 and pulled downward only to one side of the driving belt 480. A force is applied, and the driving belt 480 is strongly wound around the driving pulley 478 by the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430.

  On the other hand, the upper drive pulley 478 is provided with engaged teeth 485 that engage with the engagement teeth 484 of the drive belt 480, and the drive belt depends on the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430. When 480 is tightly wound around the drive pulley 478, the engagement between the engagement tooth 484 of the drive belt 480 and the engaged tooth 485 of the drive pulley 478 becomes stronger, and the drive pulley 478 is driven by the first drive motor 477. By blocking the rotation, the rotation of the drive belt 480 is blocked, and the weights of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 are supported by the drive pulley 478 via the drive belt 480. The weight of the elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 is not applied to the lower driven pulley 479 or the tension mechanism 493. As a result, the first elevating member 470 and the like can be moved up and down satisfactorily without applying an extra load to the tension mechanism 493, and the cost of the tension mechanism 493 and the like with the urging force by the tension mechanism 493 being minimized. Can be reduced.

  By the way, when the vertical arrangement of the driving pulley 478, the driven pulley 479, and the tension mechanism 493 is reversed, the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 is applied to the driven pulley 479 via the driving belt 480. The driven pulley 479 is not provided with an engaged tooth that engages with the engaging tooth 484 of the drive belt 480, and the driven pulley 479 is configured to freely rotate. The weights of the one lifting member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 cannot be supported, and the first lifting member 470 is lowered and the drive belt 480 is rotated in a predetermined direction. Further, in the lower drive pulley 478, the drive belt 480 is pulled downward by the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430, so that the winding force of the drive belt 480 on the drive pulley 478 is weakened. That is, the engagement between the engaging teeth 484 of the driving belt 480 and the engaged teeth 485 of the driving pulley 478 is weakened, and it becomes easy to slip on each other.

  When slippage occurs between the drive pulley 478 and the drive belt 480, the drive belt 480 is rotated by the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 regardless of the rotation of the first drive motor 477. As a result, the first elevating member 470 is lowered, and the first elevating member 470 cannot be moved up and down satisfactorily. Therefore, it is conceivable to prevent slippage between the drive pulley 478 and the drive belt 480 by increasing the urging force by the tension mechanism 493. However, when the urging force is increased, not only the tension mechanism 493 but also the drive pulley 478, It is necessary to increase the strength of the driven pulley 479, the drive belt 480, the first base 475, etc., which causes a problem that the cost of the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 is increased. It is desirable to arrange the pulley 478 on the upper side and the driven pulley 479 on the lower side.

  In the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 of this example, the positioning hole 510 is formed on the support surface 509 for positioning the mounting positions of the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473 on the first base 475. Are formed, and positioning protrusions 511 that fit into the positioning holes 510 are formed at the contact portions of the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473 with the first base 475, respectively. Yes. As a result, the positioning protrusions 511 of the corresponding first upper support member 473 and first lower support member 473 are fitted into the positioning holes 510 of the first base 475 and then fixed to the first base 475. Thus, the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473 can be accurately positioned at predetermined positions, and the assembly accuracy of the guide rail 471, the drive pulley 478, the driven pulley 479, and the like can be highly accurately and easily performed. Can be assembled. A mounting hole 512 for mounting and fixing to the game board base 212 is formed in the mounting contact surface 474 of the first base 475.

  In the first decorative movable body drive unit 450, as shown in the drawing, a mounting contact surface 474 of the first base 475 is provided on the upper portion of the first base 475, and the first base 475 has a first contact with the game board base 212. Only the upper part of one base 475 is fixedly attached. Thereby, the attachment location to the game board base 212 can be decreased, and an assembly cost can be reduced. In addition, the first base 475 is fixed to the game board base 212 at the upper part, that is, fixed above the center of gravity of the weight applied to the first base 475. Even if the first base 475 is fixed only at its upper part even if it swings to the left and right around the contact surface 474, the first base 475 is in a good condition even if the first base 475 is fixed only at its upper part. It can be fixed with. That is, the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 can be satisfactorily attached and fixed to the game board base 212.

  In this example, the rotation of the drive pulley 638 by the second drive motor 637 is arranged so that the rotation of the drive gear 642 fixed to the drive shaft 636 of the second drive motor 637 is substantially below the drive gear 642. The drive pulley 638 is driven to rotate by being transmitted to a transmission gear 643 that meshes with the drive gear 642 and rotates integrally with the drive pulley 638. In addition, engagement teeth 644 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the drive belt 640 at predetermined intervals over the entire circumference, and the engaged teeth 645 that engage with the engagement teeth 644 are provided on the drive pulley 638 as gears. The rotational drive of the drive pulley 638 is reliably transmitted to the drive belt 640 by the engagement of the engaged teeth 645 and the engagement teeth 644. The driven pulley 639 is a flat pulley without engaged teeth.

  The second decorative movable body drive unit 610 is further provided with second rotation preventing means 650 for preventing the second elevating member 630 from rotating around the axial direction in which the guide rail 631 extends. The second rotation preventing means 650 includes a guide rod 651 that is supported at the upper and lower ends thereof by the second upper support member 632 and the second lower support member 633 and arranged substantially parallel to the guide rail 631, and from the left and right directions.

As shown in the figure, the second rotation preventing means 650 includes a guide rod 651 disposed on the rear side of the guide rail 631 at a predetermined distance and a guide member 652 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. By abutting on either of the left and right sides of 651, the second elevating member 630 can be well prevented from rotating around the axis of the guide rail 631.

  In this example, the guide rail 631 and the guide rod 651 are both metal round bars, and a friction reducing layer for reducing sliding resistance is formed on the surface of the guide rail 631. The friction reducing layer is coated with, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, (for example, Teflon (registered trademark))) as a fluororesin with a predetermined thickness, and is thereby guided by the guide rail 631. The value of the dynamic frictional resistance and the value of the static frictional resistance of the second elevating member 630 can be brought as close as possible, and when the stationary second elevating member 630 starts moving, the movement can be started smoothly, The durability of the guide rail 631 and the like can be reduced by reducing wear. Further, the surface of the guide rod 651 is chrome-plated to prevent corrosion such as rust and improve durability, and it is less expensive than the guide rail 631 and prevents an increase in cost. It can be done.

  The second decorative movable body drive unit 610 further includes a tension mechanism 653 that applies a predetermined tension to the drive belt 640. This tension mechanism 653 is the same mechanism as the tension mechanism 493 provided in the first decorative movable body drive unit 450, and is guided by the guide rail 631 and rotatably supports the driven pulley 639, and one end. The movable body 654 includes a tension spring 655 that is attached to the second base 635 at the other end and biases the movable body 654 downward.

  The moving body 654 of the tension mechanism 653 includes a guide hole 656 that passes through the guide rail 631, a hook-shaped locking portion 658 that locks the shaft portion 657 that opens downward and protrudes from both ends of the driven pulley 639, and a guide. A spring mounting portion 659 is provided between the hole 656 and the locking portion 658 and to which one end of the tension spring 655 is attached. Accordingly, the driven pulley 639 can be supported by the moving body 654 in a state where the drive belt 640 is wound around the driven pulley 639, so that the assembly can be easily performed. Further, since the drive belt 640 is pulled by the tension spring 655 between the guide hole 656 and the locking portion 658 for locking the shaft portion 657 of the driven pulley 639, the guide hole is guided with respect to the shaft of the guide rail 631. The shaft of 656 can be prevented from being greatly inclined, the sliding resistance of the moving body 654 in the guide rail 631 is prevented from increasing, and the moving body 654 can move smoothly, and the moving body The posture of 654 is prevented from changing greatly, and the drive belt 480 is tensioned satisfactorily.

  In the second decorative movable body drive unit 610, as shown in the figure, the drive pulley 638 is disposed on the upper side and the driven pulley 639 is disposed on the lower side, and the drive driven around the drive pulley 638 and the driven pulley 639 The belt 640 is biased downward by a tension mechanism 653 via a driven pulley 639. Further, since the second elevating member 630 is fixed to the driving belt 640, the weights of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 are applied to the driving belt 640 and pulled downward only to one side of the driving belt 640. A force is applied, and the driving belt 640 is strongly wound around the driving pulley 638 by the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432.

  On the other hand, the upper drive pulley 638 is provided with engaged teeth 645 that engage with the engagement teeth 644 of the drive belt 640, and the drive belt depends on the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432. By strongly winding the drive pulley 638 around the drive pulley 638, the engagement between the engagement tooth 644 of the drive belt 640 and the engaged tooth 645 of the drive pulley 638 becomes stronger, and the drive pulley 638 of the drive pulley 638 is driven by the second drive motor 637. By blocking the rotation, the rotation of the drive belt 640 is blocked, and the weights of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 are supported by the drive pulley 638 via the drive belt 640, and the second The weight of the elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 is not applied to the lower driven pulley 639 or the tension mechanism 653. As a result, the second elevating member 630 and the like can be moved up and down satisfactorily without applying an extra load to the tension mechanism 653, and the cost required for the tension mechanism 653 and the like with a minimum biasing force by the tension mechanism 653 can be achieved. Can be reduced.

  By the way, when the vertical arrangement of the driving pulley 638, the driven pulley 639, and the tension mechanism 653 is reversed, the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 is applied to the driven pulley 639 via the driving belt 640. The driven pulley 639 is not provided with an engaged tooth 645 that engages with the engaging tooth 644 of the drive belt 640, and the driven pulley 639 is configured to freely rotate. The weights of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 cannot be supported, and the second elevating member 630 descends and the drive belt 640 rotates in a predetermined direction. Further, since the drive belt 640 is pulled downward by the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 in the lower drive pulley 638, the winding force of the drive belt 640 on the drive pulley 638 is weakened. In other words, the engagement between the engagement teeth 644 of the drive belt 640 and the engaged teeth 645 of the drive pulley 638 is weakened, making it easier to slip on each other.

  When slippage occurs between the drive pulley 638 and the drive belt 640, the drive belt 64 is rotated by the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 regardless of the rotation of the second drive motor 637. As a result, the second elevating member 630 is lowered, and the second elevating member 630 cannot be moved up and down satisfactorily. Thus, it is conceivable to prevent slippage between the drive pulley 638 and the drive belt 640 by increasing the urging force of the tension mechanism 653. However, when the urging force is increased, not only the tension mechanism 653 but also the drive pulley 638, It is necessary to increase the strength of the driven pulley 639, the driving belt 640, the second base 635, and the like, which causes a problem of increasing the cost of the second decorative movable body driving unit 433. It is desirable to arrange the pulley 638 on the upper side and the driven pulley 639 on the lower side.

  In the second decorative movable body drive unit 610 of this example, a support surface 669 positioning hole 670 for positioning the mounting positions of the second upper support member 632 and the second lower support member 633 is formed in the second base 635. In addition, positioning protrusions 671 that fit into the positioning holes 670 are respectively formed at the contact portions of the second upper support member 632 and the second lower support member 633 with the second base 635. As a result, the positioning projections 671 of the corresponding second upper support member 632 and second lower support member 633 are fitted into the positioning holes 670 of the second base 635 and then fixed to the second base 635. Thus, the second upper support member 632 and the second lower support member 633 can be accurately positioned at predetermined positions, and the assembly accuracy of the guide rail 631, the drive pulley 638, the driven pulley 639, etc. can be assembled with high accuracy and ease. It is supposed to be. A mounting hole 672 for mounting and fixing to the game board base 212 is formed in the mounting contact surface 634 of the second base 635.

  In the second decorative movable body drive unit 610, as shown in the drawing, the mounting contact surface 634 of the second base 635 is provided on the upper portion of the second base 635, Only the upper part of the two bases 635 is attached and fixed. Thereby, the attachment location to the game board base 212 can be decreased, and an assembly cost can be reduced. Further, the second base 635 is fixed to the game board base 212 at the upper part, that is, fixed above the center of gravity of the weight applied to the second base 635. Even if it swings left and right around the contact surface 634, it tends to return to its original position due to the gravity applied to its center of gravity. Therefore, even if the second base 635 is fixed only at its upper part, It can be fixed in the state. That is, the second decorative movable body drive unit 610 can be satisfactorily attached and fixed to the game board base 212.
