  On the other hand, when the second effect motor 81 is driven from the second effect stop state and the second drive gear 86 is turned counterclockwise when viewed from the front of the surrounding frame body 5, Power) is transmitted to the second main arm member 83 via the second drive gear 86 and the second main arm gear 89, and the second main arm member 83 is rotated around the second main arm side rotation shaft 88 by this drive force. Rotate clockwise as viewed from the front of the surrounding frame 5. Further, the driving force of the second effect motor 81 is transmitted to the second sub arm member 84 via the second driving gear 86 and the second sub arm gear 91, and the second sub arm member 84 is transmitted to the second sub arm member 84 by this driving force. It rotates in the same clockwise direction as the second main arm member 83 around the arm side rotation shaft 90. As a result, the second effect member 80 rises while being supported by the second main arm member 83 and the second sub arm member 84. When the second main arm member 83 and the second sub arm member 84 are extended from the second unit base 85 to the front of the display unit 7a and set in the horizontal posture by the driving force of the second effect motor 81, FIG. ), The second effect member 80 is located in front of the display unit 7a, and the second effect execution state is reached, and the second effect member 80 is in the space between the display unit 7a and the cover panel unit 32. It is located in front of the central portion of the display unit 7a.

Next, the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 will be described.
The first effect member 60 is a substantially semicircular member as viewed from the front of the surrounding frame body 5, and is set in a posture in which an arc surface is disposed on the first effect unit 56 side (right side in FIG. 4B).

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a first effect base 100 that is a base portion of the first effect member 60 is formed of a transparent resin, and a first main arm member is provided on an upper portion of the first effect base 100. 63 is formed from the front of the first effect base 100, and a first sub-arm member 64 is provided at the lower part of the first effect base 100 from the rear of the first effect base 100. A first auxiliary arm shaft attaching portion 102 to be axially attached is formed. Further, a first light diffusion sheet 103 that can transmit light while diffusing light is polymerized on the front surface of the first production base 100, and a transparent first protective panel 104 is polymerized on the front surface of the first light diffusion sheet 103. Thus, the first light diffusion sheet 103 is prevented from falling off the first effect member 60. Further, the rear portion of the first production base 100 is recessed forward to form a first substrate storage space portion 105, and the first light emitting substrate 106 on which a light emitter such as an LED is mounted in the first substrate storage space portion 105. In this state, the first substrate storage space 105 is closed with the first base cover 107 to prevent the first light emitting substrate 106 from dropping from the first effect member 60. Then, when light is generated from the light emitter of the first light emitting substrate 106, this light passes through the first effect base 100, the first light diffusion sheet 103, and the first protective panel 104 and is irradiated to the front of the surrounding frame body 5. It is comprised so that.

  The second effect member 80 has a substantially parallelogram shape with a notch in the upper part when viewed from the front of the surrounding frame body 5. The second effect unit 57 is inclined downward from the first effect unit 56 side (see FIG. 4A), and in the second effect execution state, the left and right side surfaces of the second effect member 80 are set to the second effect unit 57. The posture is set to be inclined downward from the side toward the first effect unit 56 side (see FIG. 4B). Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a second effect base 110 that is a base portion of the second effect member 80 is formed of a transparent resin, and a second main arm member is provided above the second effect base 110. 83 is formed from the front of the second effect base 110, and a second sub-arm member 84 is provided at the bottom of the second effect base 110 from the rear of the second effect base 110. A second sub-arm shaft mounting portion 112 for shaft mounting is formed. Further, a second light diffusion sheet 113 that can transmit light while diffusing light is polymerized on the front surface of the second effect base 110, and a transparent second protective panel 114 is polymerized on the front surface of the second light diffusion sheet 113. Thus, the second light diffusion sheet 113 is prevented from falling off the second effect member 80. Further, the rear portion of the second effect base 110 is recessed forward to form a second substrate storage space 115, and a second light emitting substrate 116 on which a light emitter such as an LED is mounted is provided in the second substrate storage space 115. In this state, the second substrate storage space 115 is closed by the second base lid portion 117 to prevent the second light emitting substrate 116 from dropping from the second effect member 80. Then, when light is generated from the light emitter of the second light emitting substrate 116, this light is transmitted through the second effect base 110, the second light diffusion sheet 113, and the second protective panel 114 and is irradiated to the front of the surrounding frame body 5. It is comprised so that.

  Furthermore, the movable effect device 48 includes the first effect member 60 including the first contact portion 121 and the second effect member 80 includes the second contact portion 122, and the first effect unit 56 is in the first effect execution state. When the second effect unit 57 is converted to the second effect execution state, the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 are brought into contact with each other by bringing the first contact part 121 and the second contact part 122 into contact with each other. A single decorative body is formed, and this decorative body is configured to be positioned in front of the central portion of the display portion 7a.

  Specifically, a planar side surface portion (the right side surface portion in FIG. 4A) facing the second effect unit 57 side of the first effect member 60 is used as the first abutting portion 121, and the second effect member. The second side surface portion (the left side surface in FIG. 4A) of the second effect member 80 facing the first effect unit 56 side is made the second effect. The contact portion 122 can be brought into contact with the first contact portion 121 of the first effect member 60. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a first effect magnet holder 124 having an open rear part is formed on the first substrate housing space 105 side of the first contact portion 121 so as to be recessed, and the first effect magnet is formed. The first magnet 125 made of a button-shaped permanent magnet is stored in the holder 124 with the magnetic pole facing the second effect member 80 side, and the first effect locking piece 126 protruding from the first base cover 107 is provided. The first magnet 125 is locked from the rear to prevent the first magnet 125 from falling off the first contact portion 121 (first effect magnet holder 124). Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a second effect magnet holder 128 having an open rear portion is formed in the second contact portion 122 on the second substrate storage space 115 side, and the second effect magnet is formed. A second magnet 129 made of a button-shaped permanent magnet is stored in the holder 128 at a position symmetrical to the first magnet 125 with the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 in contact with each other. At the same time, the posture is such that the magnetic pole of the second magnet 129 is directed toward the first effect member 60 and generates an attractive force when approaching the first magnet 125 (see FIG. 9). Further, the second effect locking piece 130 protruding from the second base lid portion 117 is locked to the second magnet 129 from the rear side to prevent the second magnet 129 from dropping from the second contact portion 122. doing.

  And the surrounding frame 5 is provided with the function which adsorb | sucks to the base case 43 the 2nd effect member 80 set to the position raised from the bottom dead center in the 2nd effect stop state. Specifically, in the second effect base 110, on the side opposite to the second contact portion 122 (left side in FIG. 8) across the second substrate storage space 115, the second stop is opened at the front. A magnet holder 133 is provided so as to be able to come into contact with the inner wall surface of the side wall portion 43a of the base case 43, and the second stop holding magnet 134 made of a button-shaped permanent magnet is attached to the second stop magnet holder 133 as a magnetic pole. The base case 43 is stored in a posture toward the side wall 43a side (right side in FIG. 10B). Furthermore, the locking pin 135 protruding from the side portion (left side portion in FIG. 8) of the second protective panel 114 is locked to the second stop holding magnet 134 from the front, and the second stop holding magnet 134. Is prevented from falling off from the second effect member 80.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10A, a shallow groove-like case side holder 137 is formed on the outer side of the side wall portion (right side wall portion) 43a of the base case 43, and the case side holder 137 has a button-like shape. The case side magnet 138 made of a permanent magnet is housed in a position symmetrical to the second stop holding magnet 134 with the side wall portion 43a and the second stop magnet holder 133 in contact with each other. The posture is such that the magnetic pole of the magnet 138 is directed toward the second effect member 80 and generates an attractive force when approaching the second stop-holding magnet 134 (see FIG. 10B). Further, the case side holder 137 in a state where the case side magnet 138 is accommodated is covered with the case side cover 139 to prevent the case side magnet 138 from falling off the base case 43. Then, the second effect member 80 is brought close to the side wall portion 43a of the base case 43 to generate an attractive force (magnetic force) between the second stop-holding magnet 134 and the case-side magnet 138, and this attractive force causes the second effect. It is possible to prevent the second effect member 80 in the stopped state from inadvertently moving.

Next, the operation of the movable effect device 48 will be described. It is assumed that the movable effect device 48 has previously set the first effect unit 56 in the first effect stop state and the second effect unit 57 in the second effect stop state (FIGS. 1 and 4). a)).
When the surrounding frame 5 having the above-described structure is provided in the game board 1 and a game ball flowing down the game area 4 wins the start winning opening 8, a variable display game is played on the display unit 7a of the display device 7. When the display content on the display unit 7a is in a predetermined state (for example, the big hit state or the reach state displayed before the big hit state is determined) during the variable display game, The first effect motor 61 is driven to lower the first effect member 60, and the first effect unit 56 is converted from the first effect stop state to the first effect execution state. Further, the second effect motor 81 is driven to raise the second effect member 80, and the second effect unit 57 is converted from the second effect stop state to the second effect execution state.

  At this time, the first effect unit 56 sets the first main arm side rotation shaft 68 and the first sub arm side rotation shaft 70 in a parallel state, and the first effect member 60 of the first main arm member 63 is set. The end portion on the side and the end portion on the first effect member 60 side of the first sub arm member 64 are pivotally attached to the first effect member 60 at different positions, while the second effect unit 57 is the second main unit 57. The arm side rotation shaft 88 and the second sub arm side rotation shaft 90 are set in a parallel state, and the end portion of the second main arm member 83 on the second effect member 80 side and the second sub arm member 84 Since the end portion on the second effect member 80 side is pivotally attached to the second effect member 80 at a position different from each other, the direction of each effect member 60, 80 during the effect operation is different from the moving direction, specifically Can suppress the inconvenience of wobbling in the axial direction of the first main arm side rotating shaft 68 and the axial direction of the second main arm side rotating shaft 88, and the movable effect device 48. It is possible to perform the stable effect operation.

  When the first effect unit 56 converts to the first effect execution state and the second effect unit 57 converts to the second effect execution state, the first main arm member 63 places the upper part of the first effect member 60 on the second effect unit. The first sub arm member 64 pulls the lower part of the first effect member 60 toward the first effect unit 56 side, while the second main arm member 83 pushes the upper part of the second effect member 80 to the second effect unit. The second sub-arm member 84 pushes the lower portion of the second effect member 80 toward the first effect unit 56 while pulling it toward the 57 side. As a result, the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 are inclined downward toward the first effect unit 56 side (left side in FIG. 4B), and the first contact portion 121 is in the first position. 2 is in a posture to overlap with the contact portion 122 from above, and in this state, the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 abut and the first magnet 125 and the second magnet 129 attract each other, The first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 are attached and positioned in a state where they are arranged side by side (see FIG. 4B). Therefore, even if it is difficult to stabilize the support of the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80, the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 are brought into contact with each other without shifting, and the decorative body as set. Can be formed. Thereby, powerful presentation operation can be performed without hindrance, and the disadvantage that the visual presentation effect by the movable presentation device 48 is impaired can be suppressed.

  Further, in the first effect execution state, the first sub arm member 64 is supported by the stopper portion 75 from below, and the first effect member 60 is restricted from moving downward from the position in the first effect execution state. Further, the attractive force (magnetic force) between the first magnet 125 in the first effect member 60 and the second magnet 129 in the second effect member 80, whose movement is restricted, resists the gravity applied to the second effect member 80. Act. As a result, even if each effect motor 61, 81 is stopped in a state where the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 are in contact with each other, the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 are lowered by their own weight. Can be avoided. Therefore, the first effect unit 56 can be maintained in the first effect execution state without applying a load to the effect motors 61 and 81, and the second effect unit 57 can be maintained in the second effect execution state. it can.

  Further, even if the first effect motor 61 and the second effect motor 81 are stopped immediately before the conversion to the first effect execution state and the second effect execution state, the attraction between the first magnet 125 and the second magnet 129 is caused. The first abutting part 121 and the second abutting part 122 are sucked and brought into contact with each other by force, and the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 can form one decorative body. Further, as the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 get closer, the attractive force between the first magnet 125 and the second magnet 129 increases, and the first effect member 60 and the second effect are generated by this attractive force. The member 80 can be brought into contact after being gradually accelerated. Therefore, it is possible to realize a novel presentation operation different from the conventional one with a simple configuration.

  When the preset effect time has elapsed since the conversion to the first effect execution state and the second effect execution state, the movable effect device 48 drives the first effect motor 61 to raise the first effect member 60. The first effect unit 56 is converted from the first effect execution state to the first effect stop state. Further, the second effect motor 81 is driven to lower the second effect member 80, and the second effect unit 57 is converted from the second effect execution state to the second effect stop state. At this time, the first main arm member 63 draws the upper part of the first effect member 60 toward the first effect unit 56, and the first sub arm member 64 moves the lower part of the first effect member 60 toward the second effect unit 57. On the other hand, the second main arm member 83 pushes the upper part of the second effect member 80 toward the first effect unit 56, and the second sub arm member 84 moves the lower part of the second effect member 80 toward the second effect unit 57. Draw. Then, the first contact portion 121 rises while standing from the inclined state, and the second contact portion 122 descends while standing from the inclined state, and the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 are moved to the first state. It moves along a direction different from the direction of the attractive force generated between the first magnet 125 and the second magnet 129. 4B, the first effect member 60 and the second effect member 80 move up and down along the inclination direction of the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122. Separate while shifting. From this, the 1st production member 60 and the 2nd production member 80 which have maintained the contact state with magnetic force can be separated easily, the conversion of the 1st production unit 56 to the 1st production stop state, and Conversion to the 2nd production stop state of the 2nd production unit 57 can be performed smoothly.

  And the 1st production unit 56 converted into the 1st production stop state has arranged the 1st main arm member 63 and the 1st sub arm member 64 directly under the 1st production member 60, and stabilized the 1st production member 60. Support in the state. Further, the second effect unit 57 converted to the second effect stop state abuts the second effect member 80 on the side wall 43a of the base case 43. As a result, an attractive force is generated between the second stop-holding magnet 134 and the case-side magnet 138, and the second effect member 80 is inadvertently moved to the bottom dead center of the second effect member 80 by this attraction force. The inconvenience of hanging down can be prevented in advance.

  Incidentally, in the above embodiment, the first effect unit 56 and the second effect unit 57 are provided apart from each other with the concave chamber 44 interposed therebetween, but the present invention is not limited to this. In short, it is only necessary that the first effect unit and the second effect unit are arranged at positions separated from each other. For example, the first effect unit and the second effect unit may be arranged in a state where they are separated from each other vertically, or may be arranged in a state where they are separated from each other in the front-rear direction. Moreover, although the permanent magnet was employ | adopted as the 1st magnet 125, the 2nd magnet 129, the 2nd stop holding magnet 134, and the case side magnet 138, this invention is not limited to this, It can excite or demagnetize at arbitrary timings An electromagnet may be employed.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the stopper part 75 supported the 1st subarm member 64 in a 1st production execution state, this invention is not limited to this. In short, any configuration may be used as long as the position of the first effect member 60 in the first effect execution state can be maintained by the stopper portion. For example, only the first effect member 60 is directly supported, only the first main arm member 63 is supported, or the first effect member 60, the first main arm member 63, and the first sub arm member 64 are all supported. You may comprise the stopper part which can do. In other words, the surrounding frame 5 is at least one of the first effect member 60 in the first effect execution state or the first effect transmission mechanism (the first main arm member 63 and the first sub arm member 64) in the first effect execution state. What is necessary is just to provide the stopper part which supports this.
