FIG. 12 shows a state in which the light emitting decorative substrates 35a and 35b and the transparent plate 36 holding these light emitting decorative substrates are removed.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the motor 31 is driven to move the movable members 34a, 34b and 33a, 33b completely, the display on the liquid crystal display device 40 is displayed by the decorative members 341a, 341b, 331a, 331b on the front surface of the movable member. An effect that a heart shape is formed in front of the screen is performed. Further, when the movable member is operated, the LEDs inside the decorative members 341a, 341b and 331a, 331b are turned on or blinked, so that the effect can be further enhanced.

  By the way, since the rotation centers of the movable members 33a and 33b are the rotation axes of the gears 334a and 334b, respectively, the lower ends of the heart-shaped movable parts are considerably separated from the rotation center. Therefore, when no countermeasure is taken, when the movable members 33a and 33b are rotated to the final position due to slight assembly errors of the components constituting the movable members 33a and 33b, the decorative members 331a and 331b There is a risk of stopping with the tips open.

  Therefore, in the rendering device 30 of the present embodiment, as described above, the adsorption member 351 such as a magnet is attached to the base of the support arm 342b, while the iron piece (magnetic) attracted to the magnet is attached to the base of the support arm 342a. A member to be adsorbed 352 such as a body piece is attached. For the same reason, an attracting member 351 such as a magnet is attached to the base of the guide arm 343a, while an attracted member 352 such as an iron piece (magnetic piece) attracted to the magnet is attached to the base of the guide arm 343. I tried to install it. The adsorption device 350 is configured by the adsorption member 351 and the adsorbed member 352. By providing the suction device 350, the tips of the decorative members 331a and 331b and the tips of the decorative members 341a and 341b are prevented from stopping in an open state, and the heart shape formed by the joined decorative members Can be prevented from appearing distorted. Further, by using the magnet as the attracting means and the magnetic piece as the attracted means, the attracting means and the attracted means can be configured with a single component at low cost.

  Furthermore, even if a magnet is mounted, since a large magnet cannot be mounted on the tip of the movable member due to the size limitation of the rendering device 30, a sufficiently large attractive force cannot be obtained. When the size of the decorative member is increased, it is difficult to completely close the ends of the decorative members. Therefore, the adsorbing member 351 and the adsorbed member 352 are each attached with a margin, that is, in a slightly movable state. Hereinafter, the structure will be described with reference to FIGS. Among these, FIG. 14 shows a state in which the attracting member 351 and the attracted member 352 are taken out together with the holder for holding the attracted member 352 and viewed from the rear. 15 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 10, and FIG. 16 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the adsorbing member 351 and the adsorbed member 352 are movable downward while being accommodated in holders 353A and 353B made of synthetic resin having receiving recesses 353a and 353b for receiving these members, respectively. It is attached to engaging recesses 333A and 333B at the base of the member guide arms 333a and 333b. The same applies to the support arms 342a and 342b of the upper movable member. The difference between the lower movable member and the upper movable member is that the relationship between the attracting member 351 and the attracted member 352 is reversed left or right, that is, the lower movable member has the attracting member 351 on the right side when viewed from the front, While the attracting member 352 is disposed on the left side, the upper movable member has the attracting member 351 disposed on the left side as viewed from the front and the attracting member 352 disposed on the right side. As described above, there is an advantage that the suction force is balanced by reversing the relationship between the suction member 351 and the member to be attracted 352 up and down. In FIG. 14, 354 is a positioning hole for attaching the holders 353A and 353B to the engaging recesses 333A and 333B at the base of the guide arms 333a and 333b. Although not shown, the guide arms 333a and 333b are formed with protrusions that engage with the positioning holes 354.

  By the way, as an adsorption | suction apparatus, the method of attaching so that a north pole and a south pole may mutually face using a magnet can also be considered. However, since the shape is the same in such a design, there is a risk that the N poles will be mistakenly attached so as to face each other in the assembly process. In that case, the tip of the decorative member is rejected by the repulsive force of the magnet. The trouble of leaving will occur. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the shape of the storage recesses 353a and 353b and the shape of the holders 353A and 353B are different from each other, there is no possibility that the adsorption member 351 and the adsorbed member 352 are attached in reverse of the design.

  The reason why the adsorbing member 351 is arranged on the right side of the lower movable member as viewed from the front is that, as shown in FIG. The star-shaped movable ornament 219 is provided, and the light-emitting decorative boards 35a and 35b disposed in the vicinity thereof are made smaller than the light-emitting decorative board 35a so that the magnet is positioned on the small board side. This is for setting. That is, the magnetic force of the magnet as the attracting member 351 may adversely affect the circuit of the substrate on which the electronic component is mounted, but the magnet as the attracting member 351 is disposed on the side closer to the small light emitting decorative substrate 35b. As a result, there is an advantage that the total influence of the magnetic force on the substrate can be reduced as compared with the case where the arrangement is reversed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the storage recesses 353a and 353b of the holders 353A and 353B are formed slightly larger than the outer shape of the adsorption member 351 and the adsorbed member 352, respectively, so that the adsorbing member 351 and the adsorbed member are inside. The member 352 is movably accommodated. As a result, when the movable member approaches, the attracting member 351 and the attracted member 352 attract each other and move in the approaching direction, the attracting force causes the guide arms 333a and 333b to approach, and the holders 353A and 353B move. Positioning is performed by bonding, and a gap is not formed between the decorative members 331a and 331b.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the storage recesses 353a and 353b are not provided in the guide arm, but the holders 353A and 353B having the storage recesses 353a and 353b are provided, and the holder is not fixed to the guide arm, but the guide arm is engaged. By loosely fitting the mating recesses 333A and 333B and the engagement recesses 343A and 343B of the support arm, the holders 353A and 353B themselves can also move slightly to have play. As a result, it is possible to prevent the movable member from being worn, deteriorated or damaged by the impact caused by contact with the magnet's attractive force, and to cope with the size of the gap caused by the assembly error. There are advantages.

Although the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described based on the embodiments, the embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative and non-restrictive in every respect. For example, in the above embodiment, the lower movable members 33a and 33b and the upper movable members 34a and 34b are provided with guide arms, but the guide arms, particularly the guide arms of the upper movable members 34a and 34b are omitted. It may be configured. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the 2nd movable member 219 is provided in the lower right part of the front decoration frame of a center case, this movable member may be abbreviate | omitted. Furthermore, the configuration of the game board provided with the center case provided with the rendering device of the embodiment is not limited to that shown in FIG.
