JP 2010-234021 (pages 12-13, FIG. 10-13)

  However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, for example, when the first opening and closing member and the second opening and closing member are combined with each other in contact with each other in front of the display screen, each light emission is produced as an effect. Although it is conceivable to cause the diode to emit light, for example, when the wall portion constituting the contact surface is formed of a non-translucent member, the contact surfaces of the first opening and closing member and the second opening and closing member are in contact with each other. Despite being in contact, light is divided by the wall portions constituting these contact surfaces, and the shadow corresponding to the plate thickness of the wall portions appears in a streak shape, so that the first opening / closing member and the second opening / closing member are in contact with each other. There was a problem that it did not look like it, and it was difficult to produce a sense of unity.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and when the first unit and the second unit constituting the rendering device come into contact with each other, the light from the light emitters provided in each unit is used. An object is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the sense of unity of both.

The variable display control unit including the device 9 and the effect control board 80 and the like are mainly configured and detachably attached to the game board 6.

  Returning to FIG. 1, in the vicinity of the center of the game area 7, there is provided an effect display device (decorative symbol display device) 9 including a plurality of variable display units each variably displaying an effect decorative symbol (effect symbol). ing. The effect display device 9 includes, for example, three variable display portions (symbol display areas) of “left”, “middle”, and “right”. The effect display device 9 variably displays the effect symbol as a decoration (effect) symbol during the variable display period of the special symbol by the first special symbol indicator 8a or the second special symbol indicator 8b. The effect display device 9 that performs variable display of effect symbols is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board 80.

  A first special symbol display (first variable display means) 8a for variably displaying a first special symbol as first identification information is provided at a lower right position on the game board 6. In this embodiment, the first special symbol display 8a is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 9. In other words, the first special symbol display 8a is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9. A second special symbol display (second variable display means) 8b for variably displaying the second special symbol as the second identification information is provided above the first special symbol display 8a. The second special symbol display 8b is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 9. That is, the second special symbol display 8b is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9.

  In this embodiment, the type of the first special symbol and the type of the second special symbol are the same (for example, both 0 to 9), but the types may be different. The first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b each variably display a number (or a two-digit symbol) from 0 to 99 using, for example, two 7-segment LEDs. It may be configured.

  Hereinafter, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol, and the first special symbol indicator 8a and the second special symbol indicator 8b may be collectively referred to as a special symbol indicator.

  The variable display of the first special symbol is a variable display start condition (for example, after the game ball has won the first start winning opening 13a) after the first start condition, which is the variable display execution condition, is established (for example, When the number of reserved memories is not 0, the variable display of the first special symbol is not executed, and the variable display is started based on the fact that the big hit game is not executed) When time (fluctuation time) elapses, a display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. In addition, the variable display of the second special symbol is a variable display start condition (for example, that the game ball has won the second start winning opening 13b) after the second start condition, which is a variable display execution condition, is satisfied (for example, For example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0, the variable display of the second special symbol is not executed, and the big hit game is not executed) is started, When the variable display time (variation time) elapses, the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. Note that winning means that a game ball has entered a predetermined area such as a winning opening. Deriving and displaying the display result is to finally stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information).

  The effect display device 9 is for decoration (effect) during the variable display time of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and during the variable display time of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b. Display design (also referred to as a decorative design) as a design. The variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the variable display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Further, the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b and the variable display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Synchronous means that the start time and end time of variable display are substantially the same (may be exactly the same) and the variable display period is substantially the same (may be exactly the same). Further, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a and when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 8b, the effect display device 9 reminds the jackpot The combination of is stopped and displayed.

  Below the effect display device 9, a winning device having a first start winning port 13a is provided. The game ball won in the first start winning opening 13a is guided to the back of the game board 6, and is detected by the first start opening switch 14a (for example, proximity switch) and the first winning confirmation switch 14b (for example, photo sensor). The

  A variable winning ball device 15 having a second starting winning port 13b through which a game ball can be won is provided below the winning device having the first starting winning port (first starting port) 13a. The game ball that has won the second start winning opening (second start opening) 13b is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the second start opening switch 15a and the winning confirmation switch 15b. The variable winning ball device 15 is opened by a solenoid 16. When the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the open state, the game ball can be won in the second start winning opening 13b (it is easy to start winning), which is advantageous for the player. In a state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, it is easier for the game ball to win the second starting winning port 13b than the first starting winning port 13a. In addition, in a state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, the game ball does not win the second start winning opening 13b. In the state where the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the closed state, it may be configured that the winning is possible (that is, it is difficult for the gaming ball to win) although it is difficult to win a prize.

  In addition, it is determined whether or not an abnormal winning has occurred based on the detection results of the first starting port switch 14a and the first winning confirmation switch 14b and the detection results of the second starting port switch 15a and the second winning confirmation switch 15b. A security signal is externally output based on the detection of the occurrence of.

  Hereinafter, the first start winning opening 13a and the second start winning opening 13b may be collectively referred to as a start winning opening or a starting opening.

  When the variable winning ball device 15 is controlled to be in the open state, the game ball heading for the variable winning ball device 15 is very likely to win the second start winning port 13b. The first start winning opening 13a is provided directly below the effect display device 9, but the interval between the lower end of the effect display device 9 and the first start winning port 13a is further reduced, or the first start winning port is set. The winning rate of the second starting winning port 13b is such that the nails are densely arranged around 13a, or the nail arrangement around the first starting winning port 13a is difficult to guide the game ball to the first starting winning port 13a. You may make it make higher than the winning rate of the 1st start winning opening 13a.

  In the upper part of the second special symbol display 8b, the number of effective winning balls that have entered the first start winning opening 13a, that is, the first reserved memory number (the reserved memory is also referred to as the start memory or the start prize memory) is displayed. A first special symbol reserved memory display section and the first special symbol reserved memory display section are provided separately, and a second special special display for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the second start winning slot 13b, that is, the second reserved memory number. For example, a special symbol storage memory display unit 18 including a 7-segment LED provided with a symbol storage memory display unit is provided. The first special symbol reserved memory display unit displays up to four first reserved memory numbers in the order of winning, and increases the number of indicators that are turned on by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the first special symbol display 8a is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one. The second special symbol reserved memory display unit displays up to four second reserved memory numbers in the order of winning, and increases the number of indicators that are turned on by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the second special symbol display 8b is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one. In this example, the upper limit number (up to 4) is provided for the starting memory number by winning at the first starting winning port 13a and the starting memory number by winning at the second starting winning port 13b. May be four or more.

  Further, the display screen of the effect display device 9 is provided with a first reserved memory display unit 9a for displaying the first reserved memory number and a second reserved memory display unit 9b for displaying the second reserved memory number. . In addition, you may make it provide the area | region (sum total pending | holding memory display part) which displays the total number (sum total pending memory count) which is the sum total of the 1st pending memory count and the 2nd pending memory count. As described above, if the summation pending storage display section for displaying the total number is provided, it is possible to easily grasp the total number of execution conditions that are not satisfied with the variable display start condition.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a variable winning ball device 15 that opens and closes only with respect to the second start winning opening 13b is provided, but the first start winning opening 13a and the second start winning opening 13b are provided.

The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 includes a big prize opening door, and when a specific display result (big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a, and on the second special symbol display 8b, a specific display result (big hit) In the specific game state (big win game state) that occurs when the symbol is derived and displayed, the solenoid 21 controls the open door of the big winning opening, so that the big winning opening that becomes the winning area is opened.

  Two switches (a count switch 23 and a third winning confirmation switch 23a) capable of detecting a game ball won in the grand prize opening are provided in the big prize opening. In this embodiment, the count switch 23 and the third winning confirmation switch 23a are arranged in the big winning opening (in this example, the counting switch 23 is arranged on the upper side and the third winning confirmation switch 23a is on the lower side. Is placed). Therefore, in this embodiment, the game ball won in the special winning opening is guided to the back of the game board 6 and is first detected by the count switch 23 and then detected by the third winning confirmation switch 23a.

  Based on the detection of game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) through the large winning opening which has been opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, other game winning holes such as the first starting winning opening 13a and the second starting winning opening 13b are played. More prize balls are paid out than when the ball passes (enters). Therefore, if the special prize winning ball device 20 is in the open state in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, the first state advantageous to the player is obtained. On the other hand, if the special prize winning device 20 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 20, the game ball cannot be passed through (entered) into the special prize opening to obtain a prize ball, which is disadvantageous for the player. It becomes a state.

When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started. In this embodiment, variable display is performed by alternately lighting the upper and lower lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized when turned on). For example, if the lower lamp is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a hit. When the lamp on the lower side of the normal symbol display 10 is turned on and it is a win, the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. That is, the state of the variable winning ball device 15 is a state that is advantageous from a disadvantageous state for the player when the lower lamp is lit (a state in which a game ball can win the second start winning opening 13b). ). An upper part of the special symbol storage memory display 18 is provided with a normal symbol storage memory display 41 having four display portions (for example, four segments among seven segment LEDs) for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32. It has been. Each time there is a game ball passing through the gate 32, that is, every time a game ball is detected by the gate switch 32a, the normal symbol storage memory display 41 increases the number of display units to be turned on by one. Then, each time the variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of display units that are lit is reduced by one.

  In addition, the normal symbol holding memory display 41 composed of 7-segment LEDs has four display units (segments) for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 and, for example, the number of times the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened at the time of a big hit. There are two display units (segments) that indicate (the number of big hits) and two display units (segments) that indicate the gaming state, but these display units are separate from the normal symbol hold storage display unit. You may comprise. Further, the normal symbol display 10 may be configured by a segment LED or the like that can variably display a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  In the vicinity of the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, winning holes 29a to 29d of the normal winning apparatus are provided, and the game balls that have won the winning holes 29a and 29c are detected by the winning hole switch 30a and won in the winning holes 29b and 29d.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the circuit configuration of the main board (game control board) 31. FIG. 3 also shows a payout control board 37, an effect control board 80, and the like. A game control microcomputer (corresponding to game control means) 156 for controlling the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to a program is mounted on the main board 31. The game control microcomputer 156 includes a ROM 54 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 55 as storage means used as a work memory, a CPU 56 for performing control operations in accordance with the program, and an I / O port unit 57. including. In this embodiment, the ROM 54 and the RAM 55 are built in the game control microcomputer 156. That is, the game control microcomputer 156 is a one-chip microcomputer. The one-chip microcomputer only needs to include at least the RAM 55, and the ROM 54 may be external or internal. The I / O port unit 57 may be externally attached. The game control microcomputer 156 further includes a random number circuit 60 that generates hardware random numbers (random numbers generated by the hardware circuit).

  In the game control microcomputer 156, the CPU 56 executes control in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 54. Therefore, the game control microcomputer 156 (or CPU 56) executes (or performs processing) hereinafter. Specifically, the CPU 56 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 31.

  The game control microcomputer 156 includes a random number circuit 60. The random number circuit 60 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on a display result of variable symbol special display. The random number circuit 60 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and starts at a random timing Based on the fact that the winning time is the reading (extraction) of the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 60 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on a display result of variable symbol special display. The random number circuit 60 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and starts at a random timing Based on the fact that the winning time is the reading (extraction) of the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 60 is configured to select a numeric data update range selection setting function (initial value selection setting function and upper limit selection selection function), numeric data update rule selection setting function, and numeric data update rule selection. It has various functions such as a switching function. With such a function, the randomness of the generated random numbers can be improved.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 156 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 60. For example, a predetermined calculation is performed using an ID number of the game control microcomputer 156 stored in a predetermined storage area such as the ROM 54 (an ID number assigned with a different value for each product of the game control microcomputer 156). The numerical data obtained by the setting is set as the initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 60. By performing such processing, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 60 can be further improved.

  The game control microcomputer 156 reads the numerical data as random R from the random number circuit 60 when the start winning to the first start port switch 14a or the second start port switch 15a occurs, and starts to change the special symbol and the effect symbol Sometimes it is determined whether or not to make a big hit display result as a specific display result based on the random R, that is, whether or not to make a big hit. Then, when it is determined to be a big hit, the gaming state is shifted to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 156 is used for inputting / outputting (transmitting / receiving) signals to / from the payout control board 37 (the payout control microcomputer) and the effect control board 80 (the effect control microcomputer) by serial communication. A serial communication circuit 61 is incorporated. The payout control microcomputer and the effect control microcomputer also have a serial communication circuit (not shown) for inputting / outputting signals with the game control microcomputer 156 through serial communication.

  The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, part or all of which is backed up by a backup power supply created on the power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 55 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). In particular, at least data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (such as the value of the special symbol process flag and the pending storage number counter) and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls (specifically, prize balls described later) The value of the command output counter) is stored in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like occurs. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the entire RAM 55 is backed up.

  A reset signal from the power supply board is input to the reset terminal of the game control microcomputer 156. A reset circuit for generating a reset signal supplied to the game control microcomputer 156 and the like is mounted on the power supply board. When the reset signal becomes high level, the game control microcomputer 156 and the like are in an operable state, and when the reset signal becomes low level, the game control microcomputer 156 and the like become inactive. Therefore, an allowable signal that allows the operation of the game control microcomputer 156 or the like is output during a period in which the reset signal is at a high level, and a game control microcomputer in which the reset signal is at a low level. An operation stop signal for stopping the operation of 156 or the like is output. Note that the reset circuit may be mounted on each electric component control board (a board on which a microcomputer for controlling the electric parts is mounted).

  Further, a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage from the power supply board has dropped below a predetermined value is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 156. That is, the power supply board monitors the voltage value of a predetermined voltage (for example, DC30V or DC5V) used in the gaming machine, and when the voltage value decreases to a predetermined value (the power supply voltage is reduced). A power supply monitoring circuit that outputs a power-off signal indicating that). Instead of mounting the power monitoring circuit on the power supply board, it may be mounted on a board that is backed up by a backup power supply (for example, the main board 31). Further, a clear signal indicating that the clear switch for instructing to clear the contents of the RAM is operated is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 156.

  In this embodiment, the effect control means (configured by the effect control microcomputer) mounted on the effect control board 80 instructs the effect contents from the game control microcomputer 156 via the relay board 77. The control command is received, and display control with the effect display device 9 that variably displays the effect symbol is performed.

  The effect control board 80 is equipped with an effect control microcomputer (not shown) including an effect control CPU and a RAM. The RAM may be externally attached. In the effect control board 80, an effect control CPU (not shown) operates according to a program stored in a built-in or external ROM (not shown), and receives from the main board 31 inputted via the relay board 77. An effect control command is received via the input driver and the input port in response to the embedded signal (effect control INT signal). Further, the effect control CPU (not shown) causes the VDP (video display processor) to perform display control of the effect display device 9 based on the effect control command.

  An effect control CPU (not shown) reads necessary data from a character ROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing character image data displayed on the effect display device 9, specifically, a person, characters, figures, symbols, etc. (including effect symbols) in advance. An effect control CPU (not shown) outputs the data read from the character ROM to the VDP. The VDP performs display control based on data input from the CPU for effect control.

  The effect control command and the effect control INT signal are first input to the input driver on the effect control board 80. The input driver allows the signal input from the relay board 77 to pass only in the direction toward the inside of the effect control board 80 (does not pass the signal in the direction from the inside of the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). It is also a unidirectional circuit as a means.

  As a signal direction regulating means, the signal inputted from the main board 31 is allowed to pass through the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the effect control board 80 (the signal is not passed in the direction from the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). A unidirectional circuit (not shown) is mounted. For example, a diode or a transistor is used as the unidirectional circuit. Furthermore, since the production control command and the production control INT signal are output from the main board 31 via the I / O port unit which is a unidirectional circuit, the signal going from the relay board 77 to the inside of the main board 31 is restricted. . That is, the signal from the relay board 77 does not enter the inside of the main board 31 (the game control microcomputer 156 side).

  Further, the effect control CPU (not shown) outputs a signal for driving the LED to the lamp driver board 35 via an output port (not shown). The effect control CPU outputs sound number data to the sound control board 70 via the output port. Further, the effect control CPU outputs drive data to the first rotation motors 503L and 503R and the second rotation motor 603 via an output port (not shown). The effect control CPU receives detection signals from the first position detection switches 545L and 545R and the second position detection switches 546L and 546R via an input port (not shown).

  In the lamp driver board 35, a signal for driving the LED is input to the LED driver via an input driver (not shown). The LED driver supplies a drive signal to each LED provided on the frame side such as the top frame LED 28a, the left frame LED 28b, the right frame LED 28c, the movable LEDs 510L and 510R, and the rotating body 660. Further, a drive signal is supplied to the decoration LED 25a provided on the game board side. When a light emitter other than the LED is provided, a drive circuit (driver) for driving the light emitter is mounted on the lamp driver substrate 35.

  In the voice control board 70, the sound number data is input to a voice synthesis IC (not shown) via an input driver (not shown). The voice synthesizing IC generates voice and sound effects corresponding to the sound number data and outputs them to an amplifier circuit (not shown). The amplifier circuit outputs to the speaker 27 an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the voice synthesis IC to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume. Control data corresponding to sound number data is stored in a sound data ROM (not shown). The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data showing the output form of the sound effect or sound in a time series in a predetermined period (for example, the changing period of the effect design).

In other words, the cover member 512L constitutes the front surface of the front plate 518L constituting the first light transmissive surface portion provided toward the player side and the first contact light transmissive surface portion connected to the first light transmissive surface portion. And an inner side surface of the lower inner side wall 519La. That is, the inner side surface of the lower inner side wall 519La constituting the first abutting translucent surface portion is provided so as to be orthogonal to the front surface of the front plate 518L constituting the first translucent surface portion.

  The front plate 518L includes a semitransparent lower light transmitting portion 518a and an upper light transmitting portion 518b extending upward from the upper portion of the lower light transmitting portion 518a. Further, the right side (movable part 501R side) edge, that is, the right side is formed in a straight line from the top to the bottom. Specifically, the lower inner wall 519La corresponding to the lower light transmitting portion 518a in the peripheral wall 519L and the upper inner wall 519Lb corresponding to the upper light transmitting portion 518b in the peripheral wall 519L are formed of a flat plate extending in the vertical direction. Note that the upper inner wall 519Lb is disposed at a position slightly shifted outward from the lower inner wall 519La. In addition, attachment holes 520a to 520c for screws N6 for attaching the decorative member 513L are formed in the upper, middle, and lower portions of the outer edge of the front plate 518L.

  As shown in FIG. 11, on the front surface of the lower translucent portion 518a, a convex portion 521 that projects the predetermined character and the left half of a ring provided so as to surround the outer periphery of the character is projected. The front surface of the convex portion 521 is coated with a predetermined color paint or plating (note that the character shape of the convex portion 521 is not shown in the figure).

  In addition, a light diffusion portion 522 formed in an uneven shape by knurling or the like is formed in a region corresponding to the convex portion 521 on the back surface of the lower light transmitting portion 518a, and diffuses light from the movable LED 510L to the front. It is made to emit to.

  In the present embodiment, the convex portion 521 has a shape representing a predetermined character, but is not limited to a character, and may have a shape representing a design, a pattern, a symbol, or the like.

  Moreover, although the light-diffusion part 522 was formed by forming an uneven | corrugated | grooved part by giving a knurling process to the back surface of the lower light transmission part 518a, by sticking the sheet | seat member etc. which have a light-diffusion effect, etc. It may be configured. Further, such a light diffusion portion may be provided on the front surface instead of the back surface of the lower light transmission portion 518a.

  Therefore, the light emitted forward through the lower light transmitting portion 518a is diffused by the light diffusion portion 522, whereas the lower inner wall 519La is configured with a flat surface having no uneven portions on the surface, Since the light transmittance is higher than that of the lower light transmitting portion 518a, the light can be efficiently guided to the other movable portion.

  The decorative member 513L is attached to the front surface side of the cover member 512L with a screw N6 inserted through the mounting holes 520a and 520b through the washers 530a and 530b and a screw N6 'inserted through the washer. A semicircular cutout portion 531 is formed in the lower portion so that the lower light transmitting portion 518a faces forward, and a vertically long opening that allows a portion of the upper light transmitting portion 518b to face forward in the upper portion. 532 is formed. In addition, a shaft cylinder 533 through which the rotation shaft 502 serving as the rotation axis of the movable portion 501L is inserted is formed on the upper end portion in the front-rear direction.

  The gear member 514L is formed in a substantially fan shape when viewed from the front with an angle of about 120 degrees around the shaft hole 541 through which the rotation shaft 502 is inserted, and a driven gear 540L to which the driven gear 505 meshes with the arcuate periphery. Is formed. Mounting holes 543a and 543b of screws N7 for mounting on the upper back of the decorative member 513L are provided between the shaft hole 541 and the driven gear 540L and at the tip of the mounting piece 542 extending outward from the lower end of the driven gear 540L. Is formed. The screw N7 is attached to the upper part of the decorative member 513L with the driven gear 540L facing left.

  A mounting boss 544 projects from the rear surface of the gear member 514L in the vicinity of the shaft hole 541, and a first position detection disposed on the rear surface of the rear base 401B is provided at the rear end of the mounting boss 544. An arc-shaped detection piece 547L detected by the switch 545L and the second position detection switch 546L (see FIG. 6) is attached by a screw N8 and is rotated together with the decorative member 513L. The detection piece 547L is disposed on the back side of the rear base 401B through the long hole 403.

  The first position detection switch 545L and the second position detection switch 546L are switches that detect the position of the movable portion 501L. For example, when the first position detection switch 545L is in the detection state (on) and the second position detection switch 546L is in the non-detection state (off), it is detected that the movable unit 501L is in the retracted position that is the driving initial position. (See FIG. 12A). Further, when both the first position detection switch 545L and the second position detection switch 546L are in the detection state (on), it is detected that they are in the rotation state (see FIG. 12B). When the first position detection switch 545L is in the non-detection state (off) and the second position detection switch 546L is in the detection state (on), it is detected that the movable portion 501L is in the combined position (FIG. 12 ( c)).

  On the other hand, the first position detection switch 545R and the second position detection switch 546R of the right movable portion 501R are provided on the back surface of the front base 401F, and the detection piece 547R is provided on the front surface side of the gear member 514L ( As shown in FIG. 5, the front base 401 </ b> F is not inserted through the back surface thereof. The detection piece 547R is formed of a tongue piece protruding from an arc-shaped member.

  Therefore, for example, when the first position detection switch 545R is in the detection state (on) and the second position detection switch 546R is in the non-detection state (off), the movable unit 501R may be in the retracted position that is the initial driving position. It is detected (see FIG. 12A). Further, when both the first position detection switch 545R and the second position detection switch 546R are in the non-detection state (off), it is detected that they are in the rotation state (see FIG. 12B). When the first position detection switch 545R is in the non-detection state (off) and the second position detection switch 546R is in the detection state (on), it is detected that the movable portion 501R is in the combined position (FIG. 12 ( c)).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the left and right movable parts 501L and 501R are located within the rotation range between the retracted position and the combined position, the first position detection switch 545L and the second position switch 545L corresponding to the movable part 501L are used. Both the position detection switch 546L are in the detection state (on), while both the first position detection switch 545R and the second position detection switch 546R corresponding to the movable portion 501R are in the non-detection state (off). .

  The movable piece 515L is formed in a substantially arc shape in a front view so as to follow the outer surface of the cover member 512L. A mounting hole 550 that faces in the front-rear direction is formed at the lower position, and a shaft screw N9 that is mounted from the back surface via a washer 530c is mounted to the mounting hole 550, and further the back surface of the decorative member 513L is connected via a ring washer 551. By screwing into the lower part, the decorative member 513L is attached so as to be rotatable around an axial screw N9 facing in the front-rear direction. Further, at a position near the lower portion of the attachment hole 550, a curved restriction concave portion 552 is formed that abuts against a protruding portion that forms the attachment hole 520c of the cover member 512L and restricts rotation.

  The washers 530a to 530c are formed in a disc shape with a synthetic resin material and are formed so as to be able to accommodate the heads of the screws N6 and N9, so that these protrude beyond the back surface of the LED substrate 511L. Therefore, the LED substrate 511L is prevented from coming into contact with the front surface of the rear base 401B at the retracted position.

  Further, a cylindrical guide tube 553 is located at the upper position on the outer side of the movable piece 515L, and the axial center faces in the front-rear direction, and a part of the outer peripheral surface protrudes slightly outside the outer wall of the movable piece 515L. And it is attached so that it may protrude to the back side rather than the rear end of an outer wall (refer especially Fig.8 (a)). In addition, a guide piece 554 formed in a substantially U shape in front view is positioned near the upper side of the guide cylinder 553, with the upper end tilted inward with respect to the outer side and on the back side from the rear end of the outer wall. It is attached to protrude. The ring washer 551, the guide tube 553, and the guide piece 554 are made of, for example, a resin material having a small frictional force such as a fluororesin having excellent lubricity, or a member having a contact surface subjected to a low friction process. It is preferable.

  The movable piece 515L configured as described above is provided such that the upper end of the movable piece 515L is swingable (rotatable) with respect to the decorative member 513L around the lower shaft screw N9. Specifically, the stowed position (position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 8) along the decorative member 513L and the open position (in FIG. 8) where the upper end is inclined away from the decorative member 513L. And a position indicated by a solid line).

  In particular, the movable piece 515L has its own weight higher in the upper part than in the lower part, and the shaft screw N9 is arranged slightly inward of the upper end in the storage position, so that the main body of the movable part 501L is indicated by a solid line in FIG. In the midst of moving to the combined position and changing to the standing posture, it rotates by its own weight from the storage position to the open position.

  Further, the gear member 514L of the left movable portion 501L is disposed at a position shifted to the back side with respect to the decorative member 513L, and the gear member 514R of the right movable portion 501R is shifted to the front side with respect to the decorative member 513R. Is arranged.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the first effect device 500 configured as described above is arranged in a state where the movable portions 501L and 501R are sandwiched between the rear base 401B and the front base 401F. In this state, the left and right movable portions 501L and 501R are respectively provided with shaft holes 541 at the upper ends of the rotation shafts 502 facing the front and rear directions in which the front and rear ends are fitted to the rotation shaft fitting portions 402 and 406 so as not to rotate relative to each other. By being inserted, the shaft is suspended so as to be pivotable in the left-right direction around the pivot shaft 502.

  In this state, the movable portions 501L and 501R are in contact with each other at the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra at the combined position, and the front surfaces of the front plates 518L and 518R are flush with each other. As described above, the left gear member 514L and the right gear member 514R are disposed at positions shifted forward and backward. Specifically, the right gear member 514R is disposed in front of the left gear member 514L.

  Then, in a state where the left movable portion 501L is suspended from the rotation shaft 502, the driven gear 540L meshed with the drive gear 504 is meshed, and the driving force of the first rotation motor 503L is driven. The vibration is transmitted to the movable portion 501L via the gear 504, the driven gear 505, and the driven gear 540L. Further, in the state where the right movable portion 501R is suspended from the same rotation shaft 502, the driven gear 540R is directly meshed, and the driving force of the first rotation motor 503R is applied to the drive gear 506 and the driven gear. It is transmitted to the movable portion 501R via 540R and swings.

  Here, the operation modes of the movable portions 501L and 501R will be described with reference to FIG.

  The movable portions 501L and 501R are moved upward from the lower center side walls 519La and 519Ra and the upper inner side walls 519Lb and 519Rb at the retracted position accommodated between the rear base 401B and the front base 401F. It becomes a tilting posture that opens at an angle of about 140 degrees so that the inner sides form a square shape with each other.

  In addition, the movable pieces 515L and 515R are positioned above the tilting decorative members 513L and 513R, thereby being positioned at the storage position. Further, the guide tube 553 is in contact with the upper portions of the outer walls 405L and 405R, and the upper portions of the outer walls 405L and 405R are inclined in the left-right direction, so that the movement to the open position is restricted (FIG. 12 ( a)).

  Here, when the production control CPU rotates the movable portions 501L and 501R downward about the rotation shaft 502 by the first rotation motors 503L and 503R, the gradual tilting posture is displaced to the standing posture. Go. The outer walls 405L and 405R are not circular arcs centered on the rotation shaft 502, but form curved surfaces that gradually move away from the rotation shaft 502 downward, so that the upper ends of the movable pieces 515L and 515R are movable. The parts 501L and 501R move away from the decorative members 513L and 513R in accordance with the downward movement (see FIG. 12B). The guide tube 553 is always in sliding contact with the outer walls 405L and 405R while moving from the retracted position shown in FIG. 12 (a) to the intermediate position shown in FIG. 12 (b).

  Further, when the effect control CPU rotates the movable parts 501L and 501R to reach the combined position where the movable parts 501L and 501R are in the standing posture, the left and right lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra are in contact with each other or in close proximity to each other. The left and right semicircular lower light-transmitting portions 518a and 518a are arranged side by side to form one circular light-transmitting portion, and the movable pieces 515L and 515R are moved to the open position ( (Refer FIG.12 (c)).

  In the present embodiment, the movable pieces 515L and 515R have a greater weight in the upper part than in the lower part, and the shaft screw N9 is disposed slightly inward of the upper end in the storage position, so that the movable part 501L While the main body was moved to the combined position shown by the solid line in FIG. 8 and changed to the standing posture, it rotated by its own weight from the storage position to the open position. For example, a coil spring or the like around the shaft screw N9 The urging means may be provided so that the movable pieces 515L and 515R are always urged toward the open position, and this ensures that the guide tube 553 is detached from the outer walls 405L and 405R. The movable pieces 515L and 515R can be moved to the open position.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the cover members 512L and 512R are arranged such that the outer surfaces of the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra, that is, the contact translucent surface portions are in contact with or close to each other at the combined position. Are arranged side by side. Since the cover members 512L and 512R are made of a synthetic resin material having translucency, the cover members 512L and 512R are disposed not only on the lower translucent portion 518a disposed on the front surface side of the movable LEDs 510L and 510R but also on the inner side. The lower inner walls 519La and 519Ra are also made of a synthetic resin material having translucency.

  In this way, the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra constituting the inner side surfaces which are the contact surfaces that contact (oppose) each other are transparent, and as shown in FIG. When the CPU causes the left and right movable LEDs 510L and 510R to emit light, part of the light from the left movable LED 510L enters the right cover member 512R through the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra, and the light from the right movable LED 510R A part of the light enters the left cover member 512L through the lower inner walls 519La and 519Ra. That is, the light from the left and right movable LEDs 510L and 510R is guided through the lower inner walls 519La and 519Ra without being blocked by the lower inner walls 519La and 519Ra of the cover members 512L and 512R. Thus, as shown in FIG. 13A, streak-like shadows are less likely to appear at the boundaries between the left and right lower transparent portions 518a and 518a.

  In addition, in the combined position shown in FIG. 13A, the left and right movable LEDs 510L and 510R arranged along the inner side facing the vertical direction of each of the LED boards 511L and 511R are arranged at the same height position. However, by arranging the left and right movable LEDs 510L and 510R alternately left and right in the up-down direction, only the place where the left and right movable LEDs 510L and 510R are adjacent to the left and right at the same height position is locally brightened. Can be prevented.

  Although not described in detail, the movable portions 501L and 501R are formed with translucent regions (lens portions) on the upper light transmitting portion 518b and the movable pieces 515L and 515R. As shown in FIG. 13 (a), the light from the display screen of the effect display device 9 is transmitted forward to emit light when arranged at the combined position superimposed on the front side of the effect display device 9. Even without providing an LED or the like in the section itself, it is possible to improve the effect by using the light on the display screen of the effect display device 9.

  As described above, in the first effect device 500 as the embodiment of the present invention, the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra are in contact with each other so that the lower light transmitting portions 518a and 518a are adjacent to each other. Thus, one large light-transmitting surface portion is formed, and light from each of the movable LEDs 510L and 510R is guided through the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra to the other movable portions 501L and 501R. Therefore, when the movable LEDs 510L and 510R are caused to emit light at the combined position, the light is not divided by the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra, thereby the lower light-transmitting portions 518a and 518a arranged in parallel on the left and right sides. Since a streak-like shadow hardly appears near the boundary (inner side), the sense of unity with the movable parts 501L and 501R is improved.

  In addition, the left and right lower light transmitting portions 518a and 518a are provided with light diffusion portions 522 that can diffuse light toward the player side, and have a lower inner wall 519La, an upper inner wall 519Lb, a lower inner wall 519Ra, and an upper inner side. The wall 519Rb is provided with a light-transmitting portion (a flat plate portion without unevenness) having a light transmittance higher than that of the light diffusion portion 522, so that the upper inner wall 519Lb, the lower inner wall 519Ra, and the upper inner wall 519Rb are in contact with each other. If the contact surfaces shine, the boundary between the left and right lower light transmitting portions 518a and 518a may be noticeable, but the boundary can be made inconspicuous by increasing the light transmittance to make it difficult to shine.

  Further, in this embodiment, the opposing surfaces of the left and right lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra are in contact with each other at the combined position so that the entire areas are aligned with each other. Or may only be in close proximity.

  In this embodiment, only the left and right lower inner walls 519La and 519Ra are in contact with each other at the combined position, but the upper inner walls 519Lb and 519Rb may also be in contact with or close to each other.

  In the present embodiment, the lower inner walls 519La and 519Ra are each made of a flat plate, and the opposing surfaces that contact each other are formed as flat surfaces. Or you may be comprised by the curved surface and uneven surface which curve in the front-back direction.

  In the present embodiment, the inner side surfaces of the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra constituting the first and second abutting light-transmitting surface portions are substantially opposite to the front surfaces of the front plates 518L and 518R constituting the first and second light-transmitting surface portions. Although it was connected toward the back side so as to be orthogonal, that is, the first and second light-transmitting surface portions and the first and second contact light-transmitting surface portions were connected so as to form a substantially L shape in plan view. As long as they are provided so as to contact each other at the combined position, the first and second light-transmitting surface portions may not necessarily be connected so as to be substantially orthogonal to the first and second light-transmitting surface portions. The first and second contact light-transmitting surface portions may be connected to the first and second light-transmitting surface portions so as to incline in either the left or right direction toward the back side.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, the left movable portion 501L is configured such that the inner side surface 519Lf (right side surface) of the lower inner side wall 519La is on the back side with respect to the front surface 518Lf of the front plate 518L. The right movable portion 501R is inclined rightward toward the back side of the inner side surface 519Rf of the lower inner wall 519Ra with respect to the front surface 518Rf of the front plate 518R. It is provided to do. In this way, the inner side surfaces 519Lf and 519Rf (contact surfaces) of the lower inner walls 519La and 519Ra constituting the first and second contact light-transmitting surface portions are formed obliquely in the depth direction, so that FIG. When viewed from the lower side of FIG. 21A, that is, from the player side (front side), the inner side surfaces (contact surfaces) of the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra are arranged so as to overlap in the front-rear direction at the combined position shown. Therefore, even if the abutting surfaces (inner side surfaces 519Lf, 519Rf) of the lower inner side walls 519La, 519Ra are not completely brought into contact with each other at the combined position, from the front, that is, from the player side, Since the display screen of the effect display device 9 on the back side is not seen through the gap, the gap can be made inconspicuous.

  Further, even when a gap is generated between the contact surfaces, the right side surface of the lower inner wall 519La on the left side is arranged so as to face obliquely forward, so that light from the movable LED 510L can be easily emitted forward. As a result, light is emitted from the gap and the boundary becomes less noticeable, and the lower inner wall 519Ra on the right side is disposed obliquely forward, so that the light from the movable LED 510R is bent by the inner surface of the lower inner wall 519Ra. It becomes easy to be emitted forward.

  Further, the right side surface of the left inner wall 519La on the left side is disposed obliquely forward, so that when the movable portions 501L and 501R are separated from each other as shown in FIG. Not only the front surface 518Lf of the front plate 518L of 501L, but also the inner side surface 519Lf of the lower inner wall 519La connected to the front surface 518Lf of the front plate 518L is arranged facing forward, that is, a light-transmitting surface portion facing the player side, that is, light emission Since the area of the surface portion is increased, the production effect is improved.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, the surface of the connecting portion (bending portion) between the front surface 518Lf of the front plate 518L and the inner side surface 519Lf (right side surface) of the lower inner wall 519La is chamfered. By being formed into a curved surface, there is no corner (bending line) between the front surface 518Lf of the front plate 518L and the inner surface 519Lf of the lower inner wall 519La, so that the boundary is less noticeable. be able to.

  Note that, like the front surface 518Lf and the inner side surface 519Lf, the first and second light-transmitting surface portions and the first and second contact light-transmitting surface portions are flush with each other, and there is no corner (bending line) or the like between them. In such a configuration, the portions that come into contact with each other at the combined position are the first and second light-transmitting surface portions, and the portions that do not contact correspond to the first and second light-transmitting surface portions.

  Further, in this case, the left and right front surfaces 518Lf and 518Rf (first and second light-transmitting surface portions) form a flat surface, and the front surfaces 518Lf and 518Rf are arranged substantially flush with each other at the combined position. The sense of unity of the light surface is improved.

  Further, the inner side surfaces (contact surfaces) of the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra do not have to be flat with each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), non-concave portions 560a and 560b are formed. It may be configured by a flat surface, and the positional deviation in the front-rear direction of the left and right movable parts 501L and 501R at the combined position is caused by the contact between the concave and convex parts 560a and 560b. In addition to being prevented, the light diffusion effect is also improved.

  In the present embodiment, the opposing surfaces that face each other at the combined position are configured on the inner side surfaces of the lower inner walls 519La and 519Ra. However, for example, the lower inner side walls 519La that configure the opposing surfaces that face each other at the combined position 519Ra may be removed, an opening may be formed on the opposite surface, and light may be communicated through the opening.

  In this embodiment, since the front sides of the movable LEDs 510L and 510R are covered with the cover members 512L and 512R, dust such as static electricity and dust does not enter the movable LEDs 510L and 510R and the LED substrates 511L and 511R. In addition, disconnection due to static electricity can be prevented. In addition, the cover members 512L and 512R are made of a translucent member, and light is guided through the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra facing each other at the combined position, so that there is no adverse effect due to static electricity. Even if there is a wall on the abutting side of each other, the boundary between the movable parts arranged side by side can be made inconspicuous.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the movable portions 501L and 501R are provided so as to be rotatable about a single rotation shaft 502, so that the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra are in contact with each other, Even if the movable portions 501L and 501R are rotated (swinged) together around the rotation shaft 502, the relative position of the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra does not shift in the vertical direction. Experience is not impaired.

  Further, in this embodiment, the left and right movable parts 501L and 501R are rotated by separate first rotation motors 503L and 503R, respectively, so that the posture at the combined position is maintained as described above. In the case of swinging, the effect control CPU can swing the lower inner side walls 519La and 519Ra so as not to be shifted by performing drive control for interlocking the first rotation motors 503L and 503R.

  In this embodiment, the left and right movable parts 501L and 501R are provided so as to be rotatable about the same rotation shaft 502. However, the contact walls are provided so that they can contact each other at the contact position. If supported, it may be supported around a separate rotation axis.

  In this embodiment, the left and right movable parts 501L and 501R are rotated by separate first rotation motors 503L and 503R, respectively, but either one is driven by one drive motor (drive source). Only the movable portions 501L and 501R may be driven, and the other may be interlocked via a mechanical interlocking mechanism such as a gear mechanism or a link mechanism.

  In the present embodiment, both the left and right movable parts 501L and 501R are provided so as to be rotatable (movable). However, one of them may be a non-movable unit, that is, a fixed unit. By rotating only the movable part, it is only necessary that the movable part is provided so as to be rotatable between the union position and the union position where the other moveable parts are combined.

  In the present embodiment, the movable portions 501L and 501R are provided such that the lower ends are swingable around the upper ends, but the upper ends may be provided so as to be swingable around the lower ends. Moreover, it is not limited to what is provided so that rotation is possible, For example, it may be provided so that linear movement like a slide door is possible.

  Furthermore, the movement mode (movement direction, movement trajectory) of the two movable parts is not limited to that in the same direction (in this embodiment, it moves on a concentric circle). The other movable part may move in the second direction (for example, the left-right direction) while moving in one direction (for example, the up-down direction). Alternatively, one may move by linear movement and the other move by meandering movement.

  In this embodiment, the movable portions 501L and 501R are arranged such that the lower light transmitting portion 518a constituting the first and second light transmitting surface portions is directed toward the front side, that is, the player side in both the combined position and the retracted position. However, if it is arranged toward the player side at least in the combined position (contact position) and is arranged side by side with each other, for example, it is arranged toward the player side in the retracted position. It does not have to be.

  Further, in this embodiment, the contact surfaces constituting part of the cover members 512L and 512R of the two movable parts 501L and 501R are in contact with each other at the combined position. The contact surfaces may be in contact with each other.

  The upper gear case cover 606 includes a motor cover portion 606a that is formed in a box shape whose left side surface is open, and a plate-like bearing portion 606b that hangs downward from the motor cover portion 606a. The motor cover portion 606a is attached to the motor mounting portion 605a to form a housing space portion for the drive gear 611 and the intermediate gear 612. A circular bearing hole 615 is formed in the bearing portion 606b, and is arranged in parallel to the bearing portion 605b with a predetermined gap therebetween.

  A first gear member 620 is disposed between the left side wall and the bearing portion 605b in the lower gear case 604, and a second gear member 630 is disposed between the bearing portion 605b and the bearing portion 606b. Is done.

  The first gear member 620 is configured by a cylindrical member in which a driven gear 621 that meshes with the drive gear 611 is formed on the outer periphery. On the right side of the driven gear 621, a right shaft cylinder portion 622 that is rotatably fitted in the bearing hole 614 is formed. Further, on the left side of the driven gear 621, a left shaft cylinder portion 624 (see FIG. 18) having an annular detection piece 623 formed at the tip is formed, and a washer ring 625 (see FIG. 18) is formed on the outer periphery of the bearing cylinder 608. ) To be able to turn through.

  The second gear member 630 is configured by a cylindrical member in which a driven gear 631 that meshes with the intermediate gear 612 is formed on the outer periphery. On the right side of the driven gear 631, a right shaft cylinder portion 632 that is rotatably fitted in the bearing hole 615 is formed.

  As described above, the first gear member 620 is directly meshed with the drive gear 611 and thus rotates in the opposite direction to the drive gear 611. On the other hand, the second gear member 630 is engaged with the drive gear 611 via the intermediate gear 612 so that the second gear member 630 rotates in the same direction as the drive gear 611, that is, in the opposite direction to the first gear member 620. It has become.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the rotation display unit 602 is composed of a cube whose inside is formed in a hollow shape, and is composed of rotating bodies 602 </ b> L and 602 </ b> R arranged side by side on the left and right. The front surface, back surface, plane, and bottom surface of the rotators 602L and 602R are configured by translucent plates 640a to 640d assembled to each other and display plates 641a to 641d provided on the outer surfaces thereof. The translucent plates 640a to 640d are made of a translucent synthetic resin plate provided with a predetermined decoration, and characters and decorations appear by light from a rotating body LED 660 described later. The display plates 641a to 641d are made of a synthetic resin plate having translucency. Each of the display plates 641a to 641d is provided with a symbol and decoration such as “x” and emits light in different colors. As shown in FIG.

  The right side surface of the rotator 602L and the left side surface of the rotator 602R are configured by side plates 643 having a shaft support hole 642 formed in the center.

  The left side surface of the rotating body 602L is configured by a left side plate 644. The left side plate 644 is connected to translucent plates 640a to 640d on each side. In addition, a through hole 645 having a diameter larger than that of the shaft support hole 642 is formed in the center, and an opening peripheral edge of the through hole 645 on the left side surface is provided in the right shaft cylinder portion 632 of the second gear member 630. A fitting tube 646 that is press-fitted around the center so as not to rotate relatively is provided. That is, since the rotating body 602L is integrated with the second gear member 630, the rotating body 602L rotates together with the second gear member 630.

  The right side surface of the rotating body 602R is configured by a right side plate 650. The right side plate 650 is connected to the light transmitting plates 640a to 640d on each side. A shaft support hole 651 having a diameter smaller than that of the shaft support hole 642 is formed at the center, and attachment holes 652a and 652b of the screw N10 are formed on the front and rear sides of the shaft support hole 651.

  The right side plate 650 is press-fitted into the right shaft cylinder portion 622 of the first gear member 620 so that the left end thereof is not relatively rotatable about the axis, and penetrates the through hole 645 and the shaft support hole 642 in the left-right direction. The right end of the provided connecting cylinder 655 is fixed via a screw N10. That is, since the rotating body 602R is integrated with the first gear member 620 via the connecting cylinder 655, it rotates together with the first gear member 620. Further, the connecting cylinder 655 is formed in a cylindrical shape by integrating the translucent member 655a constituting the front half part and the non-translucent member 655b constituting the rear half part.

  As shown in FIG. 18, inside the connecting tube 655, the LED board 661 having a rectangular shape in front view in which a plurality of rotating body LEDs 660 are arranged on the front surface and the LED board 661 are provided with light from the rotating body LED 660. Is inserted through a board mounting member 662 that can be emitted toward the front.

  The board mounting member 662 has a left end that protrudes to the left side of the first gear member 620 fitted into the bearing cylinder 608 and is fixed by a screw N11, and is protruded to the right side from the shaft support hole 651 of the right side plate 650. By fixing the right end to the hanging side portion of the support member 607 with a screw N12, the right end is supported so as not to rotate around the axis centering in the left-right direction. A circular bearing board 663 is fitted to the right end of the board mounting member 662, and the shaft support hole 651 of the right side plate 650 is rotatably supported on the outer periphery of the bearing board 663.

  As described above, the left and right ends of the board mounting member 662 are supported by the base unit 601 in a non-rotatable manner, and only the connecting cylinder 655 inserted so as to cover the outer periphery thereof can rotate around the board mounting member 662. Is provided.

  In the second effect device 600 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 19A, the driving force of the drive shaft 603 a rotated by the second rotation motor 603 is transmitted from the drive gear 611 through the driven gear 621. While being transmitted to the first gear member 620, the rotating body 602R integrated with the first gear member 620 via the connecting cylinder 655 rotates.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19B, the driving force of the drive shaft 603a rotated by the second rotation motor 603 is transmitted from the drive gear 611 to the second gear member 630 via the intermediate gear 612 and the driven gear 631. At the same time, the rotating body 602L integrated with the second gear member 630 via the left side plate 644 rotates.

  In the first gear member 620, the driven gear 621 is directly meshed with the drive gear 611, whereas in the second gear member 630, the driven gear 631 is connected to the drive gear 611 via an intermediate gear 612 (reverse gear). Is indirectly meshed with the first gear member 620 so that the rotation direction is reversed. That is, both the left and right rotating bodies 602L and 602R are rotated by the driving of the second drive motor 603, but the rotation directions are opposite to each other.

  Here, an example of the display mode by the rotation display unit 602 will be described with reference to FIG. 20, for example, in a state where the display plates 641a and 641a are arranged in front of the left and right rotating bodies 602L and 602R (FIG. 20 ( a)), the second rotating motor 603 drives the rotating bodies 602L and 602R, and when one rotating body 602L rotates upward, the other rotating body 602R rotates downward (FIG. 20B). reference).

  Therefore, when the rotating body 602L is rotated 90 degrees upward and the bottom display body 641d is disposed in front, the rotating body 602R is rotated 90 degrees downward and the flat display body 641c is disposed in front. It will be.

  As described above, the left and right rotating bodies 602L and 602R having a plurality of display surfaces on the peripheral surface are rotated in opposite directions by the drive of the second drive motor 603, thereby complicating the operation mode of the display surface. Therefore, it becomes difficult to predict in what combination the left and right display surfaces are arranged side by side.

  Next, a modified example of the first effect device 500 will be described.

  Conventionally, for example, in order to protect a plurality of movable LEDs 510L and 510R, there is one in which LED substrates 511L and 511R can be accommodated in a case made of a main body member and a lid member made of a transparent synthetic resin material. However, if the outer dimensions of the LED boards 511L and 511R are matched with the inner dimensions of the case, the board may not be accommodated due to a molding error or the like. Although it is designed to be smaller than the inner dimensions, this makes the LED substrates 511L and 511R smaller and restricts the degree of freedom of LED placement, and makes it difficult to place the LEDs close to the edge of the case. There was a problem.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 22, LED boards 511L ′ and 511R ′ on which movable LEDs 510L and 510R, which are examples of electronic components, are mounted on at least one surface, and a substrate case that covers the LED boards 511L ′ and 511R ′. The substrate case covers the one surface (front surface) and is formed in a box shape with a part opened, and the other surface (back surface) opposite to the one surface. Fastening means for fastening the second cover members 512L ′ and 512R ′ formed in a box shape partially covered with the first cover members 512L and 512R and the second cover members 512L ′ and 512R ′. For example, a screw, an adhesive, etc. (not shown) are provided, and the fastening means is provided at the opening peripheral end surfaces of the first cover members 512L and 512R (for example, behind the lower inner walls 519La and Ra). The first cover members 512L, 512R and the second cover members 512L ′, 512R ′ and the opening peripheral end surfaces of the second cover members 512L ′, 512R ′ (for example, the front end surfaces of the outer plates) sandwich the periphery of the LED substrates 511L ′, 511R ′. It is preferable to fasten the two cover members 512L ′ and 512R ′.

  By doing so, in a state where the cover members 512L and 512R and the cover members 512L ′ and 512R ′ are fastened, the opening peripheral surface of the cover members 512L and 512R and the opening peripheral end surface of the cover members 512L ′ and 512R ′. Since the peripheral portions of the LED substrates 511L ′ and 511R ′ are sandwiched between them, molding errors of the substrate can be absorbed, thereby making the LED substrates 511L ′ and 511R ′ as large as possible, and moving the movable LEDs 510L and 510R to the cover members 512L and 512R. Therefore, the degree of freedom of arrangement of the movable LEDs 510L and 510R is improved.

  As described above, when the LED boards 511L ′ and 511R ′ are accommodated by the cover members 512L and 512R and the cover members 512L ′ and 512R ′, dust and static electricity enter the back of the LED boards 511L ′ and 511R ′. LED board 511L ', 511R', the peripheral part along lower inner side wall 519La, Ra is between the opening peripheral surface of cover member 512L, 512R and the opening peripheral end surface of cover member 512L ', 512R'. By arranging so as to be sandwiched, the movable LEDs 510L and 510R can be arranged as close as possible to the lower inner side walls 519La and Ra, and thereby the vicinity of the lower inner side walls 519La and Ra becomes brighter. A shadow or the like can be made difficult to appear at the boundary of 501R.

  Next, a cover member as another modification of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  Conventionally, a light emitting portion having an uneven surface is provided on the back surface of the game board 6 in which a game area 7 in which a pachinko ball flows down, and the light incident on the game board 6 is irregularly reflected by the uneven surface and from the front surface of the game board 6. There is something that emits light by being emitted, but the light guide member that is guided by the incident light can have a thickness larger than the size of the LED element that is a light emitting element that emits incident light The board 6 has a large degree of freedom in which the incident position and angle of incident light incident on the game board 6 can be adjusted. Although it can be avoided that the light intensity radiated from the uneven surface of the light emitting unit is significantly higher than other light emitting units far from the incident unit, for example, it is arranged inside the gaming machine 6 of the game board 6 If you want to light the equipment device In this case, since various boards, game ball flow-down passages, and the like are arranged on the inside of the game machine 6 of these game boards 6, it is necessary to reduce the thickness thereof. In order to reduce the thickness of the light guide member that is guided by light being incident, the thickness of the light guide member approaches the size of the LED element that is a light emitting element. There has been a problem in that the light intensity emitted from the concavo-convex part forming the light emitting part in the vicinity is significantly higher than other light emitting parts.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 23, in the first effect device 500 described above, a light emitting body (horizontal emission type LED 421) that emits visible light (white light) and a transparent material (acrylic resin) that transmits light are used. And an incident part (incident part 432) into which visible light emitted from the light emitter is incident, a light emitting part (continuous recess 436) that emits light by visible light incident from the incident part, and the incident part from the incident part. A light guide member (cover member 430) having a light guide portion (light guide path 431) extending toward the light emitting portion, and the light emitting portion is formed on the surface of the light guide member. The light guide member is further formed on the linear path between the incident portion and the nearest concave portion (nearest concave portion 435F) closest to the incident portion among the plurality of concave portions. Possible to enter from the part Preferably it has a linear progression blocking unit which light is prevented from linearly travels in the nearest recess (inclined surface 433).

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 23, the incident portion 432 of the cover member 430 is disposed on the emission side of the white light of the horizontal emission type LED 421 that is an example of a light-emitting body that is surface-mounted on the LED substrate 420. A substantially triangular protrusion that hangs down substantially in contact with the LED substrate 420 and has a hypotenuse that forms an inclined surface 433 between the horizontal emission LED 421 and the nearest recess 435F that is the recess closest to the horizontal emission LED 421. It is considered to be a part.

  The incident surface 432 ′ facing the horizontal emission LED 421 at the apex portion of the triangle forming the incident portion 432 has a concave curved surface surrounding the horizontal emission LED 421 in accordance with the radiation directivity characteristic of the horizontal emission LED 421. Yes. Although not specifically shown, the horizontal emission type LED 421 has a radiation angle of 45 degrees, a light intensity of 50%, and a radiation angle of 60 when the light intensity when the radiation angle is 0 degree in the horizontal direction is 100%. Since it has a radiation directivity characteristic in which the light intensity is 20% at a degree, light having a light intensity of 20% or more and a light having an emission angle of up to 60 degrees is satisfactorily prevented from being weakened by reflection. The incident surface 432 ′ is formed in a concave curved surface so that the incident angle of each light up to 60 degrees is incident on the incident surface 432 ′ so that the incident angle is approximately 0 degrees. Thus, the white light emitted from the horizontal emission type LED 421 can be efficiently entered into the light guide 431.

  Further, a nickel plating layer 434 is formed on the surface of the inclined surface 433, and the inclined surface 433 is mirror-finished by the nickel plating layer 434, and the light incident on the inclined surface 433 is related to the incident angle. Instead, it is almost totally reflected.

  Note that the incident angle of the light emitted directly from the horizontal emission type LED 421 and incident directly on the inclined surface 433 is larger than the incident angle of the light emitted horizontally from the horizontal emission type LED 421 and is the most horizontal emission type of the inclined surface 433. The incident angle is the light having the smallest incident angle so that the incident angle of the light emitted at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal incident on the position close to the LED 421 becomes small.

  Therefore, the inclination angle formed horizontally with the inclined surface 433 is the light with the smallest incident angle among the light emitted directly from the horizontal emission type LED 421 and incident on the inclined surface 433, that is, the most horizontal emission type of the inclined surface 433. The incident angle (minimum incident angle) of light incident at a position close to the LED 421 and emitted at a predetermined angle with the horizontal direction is the inclination of the refractive index of the acrylic resin, which is a transparent resin constituting the light guide path 431, and the inclination. The angle may be larger than a critical angle (for example, R = 42 °) based on the inverse trigonometric function of the ratio of the refractive index of the air that is the surrounding material that abuts the surface 433. By doing so, horizontal radiation Light emitted from the LED 421 and directly incident on the inclined surface 433 is totally reflected on the inclined surface 433 and guided in the light guide 431.

  Therefore, the use of the horizontal emission type LED 421 having a very thin thickness as in the present embodiment makes it possible to shorten the length of the inclined surface 433 and increase the degree of freedom in designing the light guide 431. Will be able to. That is, in this embodiment, by providing an inclined surface 433 that connects the apex of the incident portion 432 that is the proximity portion of the horizontal emission LED 421 and the concave top portion of the nearest depression 435F closest to the horizontal emission LED 421, the nearest depression The light of all the optical paths that are directly incident on the 435F from the horizontal emission type LED 421 is incident on the inclined surface 433, and as described above, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 433 is the horizontal emission type on the inclined surface 433. The length of the inclined surface 433 is set so that the light directly incident from the LED 421 has an angle at which all the light is totally reflected.

  By doing so, as shown in FIG. 23B, all of the light D1 and the light D2, which are light directly incident on the inclined surface 433 from the horizontal emission type LED 421, are totally reflected by the inclined surface 433 and guided. At the surface side interface of the optical path 431, total reflection is performed toward a region Z from a point P1 closest to the horizontal emission type LED 421 to a point P2 farthest from the horizontal emission type LED 421 (D1 ′, D2 ′).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23 (c), when the inclined surface 433 of the present invention is not provided, the high-intensity radiated light emitted from the horizontal emission type LED 421 is directly incident on the nearest concave portion 435F. Since the light is emitted to the surface side of the light guide 431, the light emission intensity of the portion corresponding to the nearest concave portion 435F is remarkably increased, and good light emission of the cover member 430 ′ cannot be obtained.

  Further, in addition to the light directly incident from the horizontal emission type LED 421, when the incident portion 432 is provided in the middle of the light guide path 431, the inclined surface 433 is guided through the light guide path 431. The light (guide light) that reaches the portion 432 is also incident, but the inclined surface 433 is at an angle that allows total reflection of light that is directly incident from the horizontal emission type LED 421, so that the guide light is transmitted from the inclined surface 433. Even if the angle is such that the light is radiated to the back side of the light guide 431, the nickel plating layer 434 is provided on the inclined surface 433, so that the guided light is transferred from the inclined surface 433 to the back side of the light guide 431. Since it can be prevented from being emitted, these guided lights can be used efficiently without wasting them.

  In this embodiment, the surface side interface of the light guide 431 in these regions Z is set to an angle that increases the incident angle of light incident on the surface side interface of the region Z, as shown in FIG. Thus, more of the light incident on the surface side interface is totally reflected and guided to the continuous recess 436. That is, the surface-side interface angle of the region Z is an angle that guides the strong reflected light that is totally reflected by the inclined surface 433 incident on the region Z to the continuous recess 436.

  Note that these angles are not limited to the present embodiment, and the surface side interface angle of the region Z is the light totally reflected by the inclined surface 433 incident on the region Z into the continuous recess 436. Any angle that can be guided is acceptable.

  Of the light incident from the horizontal emission type LED 421 in the light guide 431, the light having a predetermined angle and entering the nearest recess 435F or the continuous recess 436, for example, the light D3, is reflected by the nearest recess 435F. By being guided toward the front surface side of the light guide path 431, the light emitted directly from the horizontal emission type LED 421 is emitted from the front-side interface of the light guide path 431 so that the nearest concave portion 435F and the continuous concave portion 436 are emitted. Instead, light is emitted by the guided light in the light guide 431.

  As described above, since the inclined surface 433 serving as the straight line travel preventing portion is provided on the straight path between the incident portion 432 and the nearest concave portion 435F, visible light incident from the incident portion 432 is directly incident on the nearest concave portion 435F. Therefore, even if the thickness of the cover member 430, which is a light guide member, is reduced, the light emission intensity by the nearest concave portion 435F close to the incident portion 432 is different from that of the light emitting portion farther than the nearest concave portion 435F. It can be avoided that the light emission intensity is significantly higher than the light emission intensity due to the concave portion.

  In addition, according to the above embodiment, the structure of the straight line travel preventing part can be simplified by setting the straight line travel preventing part as the inclined surface 433, and all the light in any optical path that travels straight to the nearest concave part 435F is slanted. Since the light is totally reflected by the surface and guided in the light guide path 431, the light that travels straight to the nearest concave portion 435F can be effectively used for light emission of the continuous concave portion 436 serving as the light emitting portion.

  In the above embodiment, the LED substrates 511L and 511R are formed in a flat plate shape. However, the LED substrates 511L and 511R may be flexible substrates, and the substrates may be provided along a predetermined curved portion.

  For example, a curved wall portion extending in a curved shape toward a predetermined direction and movable LEDs 510L and 510R are disposed, and arranged along the curved wall portion with one surface facing the curved wall portion. And a holding means (for example, a rib or the like) for holding at least the vicinity of the arrangement position of the electrical component on the flexible board, and the holding means is provided on the curved recess side of the flexible board, The first holding part disposed on one side of the extending direction of the flexible substrate in the electrical component, and the curved recess side of the flexible substrate, and disposed on the other side of the extending direction of the flexible substrate of the electrical component.
