That is, the flat cable 71 has elasticity, both ends are connected to the relay substrate 62 and the light emitting substrate 63, respectively, and the middle is fixed to the upper end portion of the movable support portion 42. The flat cable 71 is disposed on the upper wall portion 49 in the left-right direction with a margin that allows the moving base 47 to move left and right between the relay substrate 62 and the upper end portion of the movable support portion 42. Between the light emitting substrates 63, the effect body 41 is arranged in the vertical direction in the movable support portion 42 with a margin enough to rotate.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, electronic components including a non-locking flat board-side connector 72 for the flat cable 71 are mounted on the relay board 62. The board-side connector 72 is mounted along the plate surface of the relay board 62, and the insertion port 72 a faces the side opposite to the movable support portion 42. The flat cable 71 is folded back to the board-side connector 72 side by a folded-back part 71 a in the vicinity of the board-side connector 72, and an overlapping part 71 b overlapping the board-side connector 72 is detachably attached to the relay board 62. The tool 73 is pressed onto the board-side connector 72.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the flat cable 71 is attached on the insulating sheet 74, a plurality of conductors 75 in the width direction formed on the insulating sheet 74 in the longitudinal direction, and the conductors 75. And an insulating film 76. The leading end 78 of the flat cable 71 has the insulating film 76 removed and the conductor 75 is exposed. When the flat cable 71 is connected to the board-side connector 72, the leading end 78 is used as the plate surface of the relay board 62. Are inserted into the insertion port 72a of the board-side connector 72 in a detachable manner. A reinforcing sheet 77 that reinforces the insulating sheet 74 is attached to the tip 78 of the flat cable 71.

  The presser 73 is used to hold and hold the flat cable 71 folded and overlapped on the board-side connector 72 with the board-side connector 72. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the presser 73 includes a rectangular main body 79 having a size covering the board-side connector 72, and a pair of attachment means integrally provided on both upper and lower sides of the main body 79. 80, and is detachably attached to the relay substrate 62 via a pair of attachment means 80 in a state in which the flat cable 71 and the board-side connector 72 are covered by the main body 79.

  The main body 79 includes a holding part 81 that holds the flat cable 71 between the board-side connector 72, a pair of upper and lower restriction parts 82 that are provided on both upper and lower sides of the holding part 81 and restrict the flat cable 71 from both sides in the width direction, Four leg portions 83 on the upper and lower and left and right sides of the flat cable 71 are arranged on both the left and right sides of the board-side connector 72 (both sides in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable 71 with respect to the board-side connector 72). And a contact portion 84 that is disposed between the leg portions 83 on both the upper and lower sides and contacts the board-side connector 72.

  The end surfaces on the flat cable 71 side of the leg portions 83 on both the upper and lower sides and the contact portion 84 are substantially flush with each other, and a regulating portion 82 is formed by the opposing surfaces facing the width direction of the flat cable 71. Yes. In addition, the corners on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable 71 of the presser 81 are chamfered in a curved shape so as not to damage the flat cable 71.

  The attachment means 80 has an engaging claw 87 that protrudes on both the upper and lower sides of the main body 79 and bends in a substantially L shape on the relay substrate 62 side. The engaging portion 87 a of the engaging claw 87 is engaged with the relay substrate 62. The engaged portion 86a of the hole 86 is detachably engaged. The engaging claw 87 can be elastically deformed in the engaging / disengaging direction. The engagement holes 86 are provided on both sides in the width direction of the flat cable 71 of the board-side connector 72, and the edge part on the opposite side to the board-side connector 72 is an engaged part 86a.

  In such a pachinko machine, the production body 41 is normally retracted to the original position, and when it enters a predetermined gaming state, it performs a movable production that moves to the production position according to a predetermined operation pattern and returns to the home position again. The effector 41 is caused to emit light by the light emitter 64 during the movable effect.

  For example, when the horizontal driving unit 44 operates in the forward rotation direction, the moving table 47 moves along the guide shaft 46, and the effect body 41 supported by the movable support portion 42 of the moving table 47 is an effect position on the image display means 22 side. Move to. On the other hand, in conjunction with the movement of the moving base 47, the effector 41 is rotated around the axis in the front-rear direction by the rotation drive mechanism 45, and changes from the vertically long state at the origin position to the horizontally long state at the effect position. When the horizontal drive means 44 is operated in the reverse direction, the effect body 41 is operated in the reverse direction and the effect body 41 returns to the origin position.

  The light emission control of the light emitter 64 in the effect body 41 is performed via the relay board 62 and the flat cable 71 by the effect control means. At this time, one end of the flat cable 71 is held by the presser 73 and the board-side connector 72, and the intermediate side is held by the upper end of the moving base 47, and the left and right directions along the upper wall 49 of the support frame 48 between them. Therefore, a signal is transmitted while being elastically deformed as the moving table 47 moves.

  When connecting the flat cable 71 to the board-side connector 72 of the relay board 62, the non-locking board-side connector 72 is attached to the relay board 62, and the tip 78 of the flat cable 71 is inserted into the board-side connector 72. However, since the flat cable 71 is folded back onto the board-side connector 72 and the overlapping portion 71b is pressed against the board-side connector 72 by the presser 73, an external force in the pulling direction is applied to the flat cable 71. Even if there is nothing, the tip 78 of the flat cable 71 does not come out of the board-side connector 72.

  At the time of assembly, the front end portion 78 of the flat cable 71 is inserted into the insertion port 72a of the board-side connector 72, and the flat cable 71 is folded back to the board-side connector 72 side with a predetermined margin required for folding. If the holding tool 73 is attached to the relay board 62 so as to cover the board-side connector 72 from above the flat cable 71, the overlapping part 71 b of the flat cable 71 is pressed onto the board-side connector 72 by the holding part 81. Can do.

  At this time, the presser 73 inserts the pair of engaging claws 87 into the pair of engaging holes 86 of the relay substrate 62 against elasticity, and the engaging portions 87a of the engaging claws 87 are inserted into the engaging holes 86. What is necessary is just to engage with the to-be-engaged part 86a. Note that when the presser 73 is removed, the engaging claw 87 may be detached from the relay board 62.

  Accordingly, the overall structure including the relay board 62, the board-side connector 72, and the pressing tool 73 can be simplified, and the work at the time of assembly is easy and the workability is improved. There is. In addition, the presser 73 is attached to the relay board 62, and the presser 73 can be used in common for a plurality of types of board-side connectors 72 as long as the size of the board-side connector 72 is equal to or smaller than the distance between the engaging claws 87. In combination with the simplification of the structure, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  The board-side connector 72 has a flat shape in which the tip 78 of the flat cable 71 can be inserted and removed in the direction along the relay board 62. The flat cable 71 is overlapped on the board-side connector 72 and the overlapping part 71b is pressed. Since it is pressed by the tool 73, the entire structure can be compactly integrated even though the folded flat cable 71 is pressed and stopped by the presser 73.

  The relay board 62 has engaging holes 86 having engaged portions 86a on both sides in the width direction of the flat cable 71 with respect to the board-side connector 72, and the presser 73 has both sides of the flat cable 71 in the width direction. Since there is an engaging portion 87a that is detachably engaged with the engaged portion 86a, it is easy to attach the presser 73 to the relay substrate 62, and the presser 73 is relayed on one side in the width direction of the flat cable 71. Compared to the case of fixing to the substrate 62, the presser 73 can be stably fixed to the relay substrate 62, and the flat cable 71 can be securely held by the presser 73.

  The presser 73 has leg portions 83 that contact the relay board 62 on both sides in the width direction of the flat cable 71 and on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable 71 of the board side connector 72. Even when the size of the tool 73 is somewhat large, the attachment state of the presser tool 73 can be stabilized. Further, between the leg portions 83 on both sides of the flat cable 71 in the width direction, there is a contact portion 84 that contacts the substrate-side connector 72, so that the substrate is located at the end of the insertion hole 72a or at a position away from the insertion hole 72a. The side connector 72 can be pressed by the contact portion 84, and a load when the flat cable 71 is pressed by the press portion 81 can be prevented from being applied to the portion corresponding to the insertion port 72 a of the board side connector 72.

  In addition to the holding portion 81 that holds the flat cable 71 between the board-side connector 72 and the holding device 73, a holding portion 81 that restricts the flat cable 71 from both sides in the width direction is provided on both sides of the holding portion 81. Therefore, the shift | offset | difference of the width direction of the flat cable 71 can be prevented easily.

  FIG. 10 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention. When the width of the relay board 62 is narrow, it may be as shown in FIG. 10 (A) or (B). In FIG. 10A, engagement recesses 88 corresponding to the pair of engagement claws 87 of the presser 73 are provided on both side edges of the relay board 62, and the engagement recesses 88 inside the engagement recesses 88 are engaged. An engagement portion 87a inside the joint claw 87 is detachably engaged.

  In FIG. 10B, both side edges of the relay substrate 62 are engaged portions 86a corresponding to the pair of engaging claws 87 of the presser 73, and the engaged claws 87 are engaged with the engaged portions 86a. The part 87a is detachably engaged. A positioning projection 89 is provided on each leg portion 83 or a part of the leg portion 83 of the presser 73, and a positioning hole 90 in which the positioning projection 89 is fitted is formed in the relay board 62.

  When the width of the relay board 62 is narrow as described above, the pair of engaging claws 87 of the presser 73 are engaged with the relay board 62 from both sides in the width direction so as to be folded on the board-side connector 72. The pressed flat cable 71 can be stopped by being pressed by the presser 73. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  FIG. 11 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention. The attachment means 80 is preferably an engagement type, but in that case, a pair of attachment means 80 having a different structure may be adopted as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, one of the pair of attachment means 80 is an engagement leg 91 and the other is an engagement claw 87. The engaging legs 91 are removably inserted into the engaging holes 86 of the relay board 62, and the engaging portions 91 a are engaged with the engaged portions 86 a of the engaging holes 86. The engagement leg 91 may be elastically deformable or may not be elastically deformable. Other configurations including the engaging claws 87 and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In this case, after the engagement leg 91 on one end side of the presser 73 is inserted into the engagement hole 86 and engaged with the relay board 62, the other end side of the presser 73 is set with the engagement leg 91 side as a fulcrum. The retainer 73 is attached to the relay board 62 by inserting the engagement claws 87 into the engagement holes 86 and engaging with the relay board 62. Therefore, even when the retainer 73 is detachably engaged with the relay board 62, a part of the attachment means 80 is made rigid without using the elastically deformable engaging claws 87. Is also possible.

  12 and 13 illustrate a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, press-fit type attachment means 80 is employed. Each attachment means 80 has a press-fit projection 92, and the press-fit projection 92 is press-fitted into the press-fit hole 93 of the relay substrate 62. The press-fit protrusion 92 has a plurality of divided portions 94 in the circumferential direction, and press-fits into the press-fit holes 93 while constricting the divided portions 94 toward the center. The press-fitting protrusion 92 has an engaging portion 94 a, and when the press-fitting projection 92 is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 93, the engaging portion 94 a is engaged with the engaged portion 93 a on the inner periphery of the press-fitting hole 93 of the relay substrate 62. Yes. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Thus, the presser 73 may be provided with the press-fit attachment means 80, and the press-fit projection 92 may be press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 93 of the relay board 62 to attach the presser 73 to the relay board 62. In addition, since each engaging part 94a is disengaged from the engaged part 93a by constricting each divided part 94 of the press-fitting protrusion 92 against the elasticity, the presser 73 can be removed from the relay substrate 62. .

  14 and 15 illustrate a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the pressing tool 73 includes a bar-shaped pressing portion 81, and hook-shaped contact portions 84 that contact the board-side connector 72 are provided on both sides of the pressing portion 81. The attachment means 80 is a press-fit type, and a press-fit projection 92 that is bent in a substantially L shape is provided on the outside of the presser portion 81 via a contact portion 84. The press-fitting protrusion 92 is divided into two or three in the circumferential direction. When the press-fitting projection 92 is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 93 of the relay substrate 62 as in the case of the fourth embodiment, the engaging portion 94 a It engages with the engaged portion 93a.

  Even if the holding portion 81 is configured in a bar shape in this way, the holding portion 81 can hold and hold the flat cable 71 on the board-side connector 72. Therefore, as long as the holding portion 81 of the holding device 73 can hold the flat cable 71 between the holding plate 73 and the board-side connector 72, its shape, structure, etc. are not particularly problematic.

  16 to 18 illustrate a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the relay board 62 and the board side connector 72 are arranged substantially horizontally. The presser 73 is provided with attachment means 80 on one end side of the main body 79, and is attached to the relay substrate 62 in a cantilever manner by the attachment means 80. That is, the main body 79 has a support portion 95 at one end, and the support portion 95 is provided with a contact leg 96 and an engagement claw 87 disposed on the main body 79 side of the contact leg 96. ing.

There are a pair of engaging claws 87 on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable 71 across the contact leg 96, and the engaging part 87 a is engaged with the engaged part 86 a of the engaging hole 86 on the opposite side of the contact leg 96. Removably engaged. The main body 79 has contact portions 84 that contact the board-side connector 72 on both sides of the pressing portion 81.

  In this case, if the engaging portion 87a of the engaging claw 87 is inserted into the engaging hole 86 of the relay board 62 and engaged with the relay board 62, and the contact leg 96 is brought into contact with the relay board 62, The presser 73 can be fixed to the relay substrate 62 in a state where the contact portion 84 is in contact with the board-side connector 72. Further, if the engaging claw 87 is operated in the disengagement direction from the opposite side of the relay substrate 62, the presser 73 can be detached from the relay substrate 62. Therefore, the retainer 73 may be detachably attached to the relay substrate 62 by providing an engagement claw 87 or the like on one end side of the main body 79.

  19 and 20 illustrate a seventh embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the relay board 62 and the board-side connector 72 are arranged substantially horizontally, and the flat cable 71 is arranged in the vertical direction. Thus, when the directions of the relay board 62 and the flat cable 71 are different, the overlapping part 71b of the flat cable 71 folded back by the folding part 71a is pressed onto the board-side connector 72 by the pressing tool 73, while the pressing tool 73 is pressed. On the other hand, the flat cable 71 is bent at the curved portion 71c opposite to the folded portion 71a, and the flat cable 71 is extended in the vertical direction. Note that the holding portion 81 of the presser 73 may be provided with a bending portion 81 a that bends in accordance with the bending portion 71 c of the flat cable 71.

  In this way, the flat cable 71 can be arranged in an arbitrary direction by pressing the flat cable 71 onto the board-side connector 72 by the presser 73.

  21 and 22 illustrate an eighth embodiment of the present invention. In the presser 73, an end edge 81b on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable 71 of the presser part 81 is substantially parallel to the board-side connector 72, whereas an end edge 81c on the other end side is an end edge on one end side. Inclined in an oblique direction with respect to 81b. Other configurations are the same as those of each embodiment.

  If such a presser 73 is used, the flat cable 71 can be twisted by giving the flat cable 71 itself a slight margin in the twisting direction at the edge 81c on the other end side of the presser 73. This is convenient when it is necessary to incline the width direction of the flat cable 71 with respect to the insertion direction of the flat cable 71 with respect to the board-side connector 72 in the direction of the plate surface of the relay board 62. Accordingly, the holding member 73 does not need to have the end edge 81b on one end side and the end edge 81c on the other end side parallel to each other, and the relative relationship between the both end edges 81b and 81c is the direction of the flat cable 71 with respect to the board side connector 72. It is possible to change appropriately according to etc.

  As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, the case where the cable is the flat cable 71 is illustrated, but the flat cable 71 may be used as long as it is a cable that is inserted into the board-side connector 72 such as a non-locking type and is detachably connected. It can be similarly implemented with other cables. Moreover, although the relay board | substrate 62 is illustrated as a board | substrate, the board | substrate etc. which were mounted | worn with the electrical means may be sufficient. The board such as the relay board 62 may be arranged in any of the left-right direction, the up-down direction, and the front-rear direction.

  The presser 73 only needs to be provided with a presser part 81 that holds the cable between the board-side connector 72 and the presser part 81 may have any shape and structure that does not damage the cable. The attachment means 80 of the presser 73 can be attached and detached with an engagement structure such as an engaging claw 87, which is convenient in consideration of workability during assembly. However, the presser 73 can be attached to and detached from a board such as the relay board 62. If it is enough.

  One of the contact portion 84 and the contact leg 96 of the presser 73 (the contact portion 84 or the contact leg 96) may be omitted, or both may be omitted. Further, in the embodiment, a pachinko machine has been illustrated, but the present invention can be similarly applied to various game machines other than a ball machine such as a slot machine as well as other ball machines such as an arrange ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine. Needless to say.
