Facing the means 92 (see FIG. 12), the movable detecting piece 91 is detached from the movable position detecting means 92 by being displaced from the first movable position. The movable position detecting means 92 of the embodiment employs an optical sensor having a light irradiating unit and a light receiving unit that receives light emitted from the light irradiating unit. The movable effect device 50 determines the position of the movable body 60 when the movable detection piece 91 faces the movable position detection means 92, and the stop timing of the movable body 60 is determined by the detection of the movable detection piece 91 by the movable position detection means 92.

The tip of the extended portion protruding leftward from the portion is pivotally supported by the first base member 52 (see FIG. 13A). That is, the center of rotation of the movable body 60 is rotated in the clockwise direction (the direction opposite to the direction from the first movable position to the second movable position) with the shaft fulcrum to the first base member 52 as a fulcrum at the first movable position. The power to try is working. The movable body 60 is displaced to the second movable position by rotating about 45 ° counterclockwise from the first movable position, and the sword-like portion extends obliquely at the second movable position. The extended portion protruding from the shape portion also extends obliquely (see FIG. 13C). Here, since the movable member 60 is provided with a heavy member such as the operation motor 85 at the extending portion, the center of gravity of the movable member 60 is provided with a shaft fulcrum to the first base member 52 at the second movable position.

(Energizing means)
The urging means 94 for assisting the operation of the movable body 60 is provided so as to be able to contact and separate from the movable body 60 and abuts on the movable body 60 from the first movable position to the middle position toward the second movable position. On the other hand, it is configured to be separated from the movable body 60 from the intermediate position to the second movable position (see FIG. 6, FIG. 7 or FIG. 12). Further, the urging means 94 urges the movable body 60 by an elastic force toward the second movable position in a range where it comes into contact with the movable body 60. More specifically, the biasing means 94 has one end rotatably supported on the rear surface (game board side) of the first base member 52 and the other end opened in the first base member 52. The abutment portion 95 that faces the front side of the first base member 52 via the first and second arms 96a is held on the rear surface (game board side) of the first base member 52, and the other arm 96b is comprised from the torsion spring 96 which urges | biases the contact part 95 (refer FIG.6, FIG.7 or FIG.8). Here, the restriction groove 55 is provided at the center lower portion of the first base member 52 so as to overlap a part of the rotation range of the lower edge of the support portion of the movable body 60 (between the first movable position and the midway position). (See FIG. 12). In the embodiment, the abutting portion 95 of the urging means 94 abuts against the abutting surface 60 a provided on the side edge on the shaft support portion 61 side in the lower portion of the movable body 60. The contact surface 60a of the movable body 60 is constituted by a lower side surface of the connecting plate portion 81 attached to the rear side of the substrate mounting member 80. In the embodiment, the contact surface 60a is flat along the displacement direction of the effect body. It is formed to extend.

  The contact portion 95 is a rod-shaped member, and one end supported by the first base member 52 is located below the shaft support portion of the movable body 60, and the shaft support portion and the regulation groove of the movable body 60 are located. 55 (see FIG. 6, 7 or 12). The torsion spring 96 is provided with a coil portion 96c that surrounds one end of the contact portion 95 supported by the first base member 52, and fixes one arm 96a to the first base member 52 and the other arm 96b. Is inserted into a groove (not shown) formed in the longitudinal direction of the contact portion 95 (the separation direction of the support side and the contact piece 95a) and attached to the corresponding contact portion 95. Further, the torsion spring 96 is set so that the pair of arms 96a and 96b is narrower than the free time angle when the contact portion 95 contacts the movable body 60 at the first movable position. The contact portion 95 is elastically biased counterclockwise corresponding to a midway position from one movable position (see FIG. 12). That is, the urging means 94 is always urged counterclockwise by the abutment portion 95 by the torsion spring 96 and rotates counterclockwise when operating from the first movable position to the second movable position. The moving direction of the movable body to be moved substantially coincides with the biasing direction by the biasing means 94.

  The restriction groove 55 is formed so as to penetrate the first base member 52 in the front-rear direction in accordance with the rotation trajectory of the other end with one end of the contact portion 95 as a fulcrum. A cylindrical contact piece 95a formed so as to protrude is inserted. The biasing means 94 is allowed to displace the contact portion 95 from the first movable position to the midway position of the movable body 60, while the regulating portion 55 a provided corresponding to the midway position of the movable body 60 performs the midway of the biasing means 94. Movement to the second movable position side beyond the position is prevented. Here, the restriction groove 55 extending in an arc shape is set to be shorter than the displacement amount between the first movable position and the second movable position on the contact surface 60a of the movable body 60, and the upper edge of the restriction groove 55 is It functions as a restricting portion 55 a that separates the urging means 94 from the movable body 60 at an intermediate position. In the movable effect device 50 of the embodiment, the midway position is set to a substantially intermediate portion between the first movable position and the second movable position. Reference numeral 97 denotes a protective cover that presses the rear side of one end of the support side of the contact portion 95 and covers a part of the corresponding contact portion 95 (see FIG. 6 or FIG. 7).

  In the movable effect device 50, as the movable body 60 moves from the first movable position to the middle position, the contact surface 60a of the movable body 60 and the direction of the urging force that the urging means 94 acts on the corresponding contact surface 60a. The urging angle (angle) α is changed so that the urging force of the urging means 94 applied to the movable body 60 is increased or decreased by the rotation of the movable body 60 (see FIG. 12). The contact portion 95 is substantially in the vertical direction in which the contact piece 95a is positioned below the one end of the support side under the contact with the contact surface 60a extending in the vertical direction at the first movable position of the movable body 60. (See FIG. 12A). In the movable effect device 50, as the movable body 60 rotates from the first movable position toward the second movable position, the contact surface 60a becomes oblique, and the distance between the shaft support portion of the movable body 60 and the contact surface 60a. Since the distance between the one end on the support side of the abutting portion 95 and the abutting piece 95a is close to that of the abutting portion 95, the angular displacement amount of the abutting piece 95a of the urging means 94 is larger than the angular displacement amount of the abutting surface 60a. The direction of the urging force applied to the contact surface 60a is deviated from the relationship at the first movable position (see FIG. 12B). Here, the movable effect device 50 is set to a relationship in which the urging force of the urging means is efficiently applied to the contact surface 60a at the first movable position of the movable body 60, and as it moves from the first movable position to the second movable position. The biasing force of the biasing means 94 with respect to the contact surface 60a is configured to be weak. In other words, when the movable effect device 50 rotates from the second movable position toward the first movable position, the contact surface 60a contacts the contact piece 95a of the urging means 94 at the intermediate position of the movable body 60, The urging force of the urging means 94 with respect to the contact surface 60a gradually increases from the position toward the first movable position. The urging force of the urging means 94 is set to be smaller than the combined force of the dead weight applied to the movable body 60 in the clockwise direction at the first movable position and the mechanical resistance force when the movable motor 90 is stopped. The movable body 60 is configured not to move from the first movable position toward the second movable position only by the urging force of the urging means 94.

(Operating body)
As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, FIG. 9, and FIG. 15, the operating body 100 includes a long design portion 102 having one side along the game board surface longer than the other side and a rear side of the design portion 102. The operation light emitting substrate 104 is provided. The design portion 102 is provided with a plurality (eight in the embodiment) of design light-emitting portions 102a that are capable of transmitting light, and are provided on the front surface of the working light-emitting substrate 104 in each of the design light-emitting portions 102a. An actuating light emitter 105 that irradiates light faces the front. In the embodiment, an LED is used as the working light emitter 105. The actuating body 100 has a lower end portion of the design portion 102 rotatably supported on the upper central front surface of the second base member 56, and is actuated by an actuating motor 106 as actuating means in a first actuating position (FIGS. 3 and 5). It is configured to swing between (a) and FIG. 6 (a)) and the second operating position (see FIG. 4, FIG. 5 (b) and FIG. 6 (b)).

  The actuating motor 106 is installed below the shaft support part of the actuating body 100 in a posture with the output shaft directed to the rear side on the front side of the second base member 56, and an actuating pinion 106a fixed to the tip of the output shaft is provided. The actuating body 100 meshes with a working tooth portion 103 provided in a fan shape at the lower end of the design portion 102 (see FIG. 15). That is, the drive of the operating motor 106 is converted into a rotating operation of the operating body 100 by the rack and pinion mechanism including the operating pinion 106 a and the operating tooth portion 103. In the operating body 100, an operation detecting piece 103a provided so as to protrude rearward from the operating tooth portion 103 of the design portion 102 is provided on the operating position detecting means 108 installed on the front side of the second base member 56 at the first operating position. At first, the operation detection piece 103a is disengaged from the operation position detection means 108 by being displaced from the first operation position (see FIG. 15). The working position detection means 108 of the embodiment employs an optical sensor having a light irradiation part and a light receiving part that receives light emitted from the light irradiation part. In the movable effect device 50, the position of the operating body 100 is determined by the operation detecting piece 103a facing the operating position detecting means 108, and the stop timing of the operating body 100 is determined by the detection of the operation detecting piece 103a by the operating position detecting means 108. It is done.

  In the movable effect device 50, in the standby state, the movable body 60 in which the effect body 64 is in the first effect position is in the first movable position, and the operating body is stopped at the first operation position (FIGS. 2 and 3). FIG. 5 (a) or FIG. 6 (a)). The movable body 60 extends in the vertical direction along the right side of the display portion 40a at the first movable position, and includes the right decorative member 32 provided on the upper right portion of the frame-shaped decorative body 28 and the right decorative member 32. The upper portion of the first decorative portion 66 is located on the rear side of the right portion of the decorative light emitting means 36 for illuminating, and the two first light emitting portions 68 positioned on the distal end side of the first decorative portion 66 are provided on the right decorative member 32 It is hidden by means 36) (see FIG. 2 or 3). On the rear side of the right decorative member 32 (between the right part of the decorative light emitting means 36 that illuminates the right decorative member 32 and the installation plate part 35), the effector 64 is placed at the first movable position of the movable member 60. A space that allows displacement from the first effect position to the second effect position is provided, and the effector 64 is displaced between the first effect position and the second position even at the first movable position of the movable body 60. An operation effect is performed. It should be noted that the operating body 100 is in an inclined posture away from the display unit 40a side from the bottom toward the top in the first operating position, and obliquely crosses the front side of the movable body 60 (FIGS. 2, 3, and 5). a) or FIG. 6 (a)).

  In the movable effect device 50, the movable body 60 rotates from the first movable position by positively driving the movable motor 90, and the movable body 60 crosses the front side of the display unit 40a obliquely from the lower right from the first movable position. It moves to a 2nd movable position (refer FIG.4, FIG.5 (b) or FIG.6 (b)). On the other hand, the operating body 100 is rotated from the first operating position to the second operating position crossing the front side of the display unit 40a from the lower right by the positive drive of the operating motor 106, and is movable at the second movable position at the second operating position. The posture stands from the body 60. At this time, the movable body 60 is elastically biased from the first movable position toward the second movable position by the biasing means 94 that is in contact with the contact surface 60a. In this way, at the first movable position of the movable body 60 that moves against the gravity, the biasing force is applied by the biasing means 94 at the start of driving when the load on the movable motor 90 is the largest, so that the movable body 60 starts moving smoothly. Can help. And if the movable body 60 starts to move from a stop state, a certain amount of inertia will work, so that the load applied to the movable motor 90 is smaller than that at the time of activation. Here, since the biasing means 94 is separated from the movable body 60 at a midway position of the movable body 60 (see FIG. 12C), it is useless with respect to the movable body 60 moving from the midway position to the second movable position. Does not give energizing force. Further, the movable body 60 has a downward moment that is increased by the effect body 64 extending to the second effect position at the first movable position (see FIG. 4 or FIG. 7). Since the urging force 94 is not applied, it is possible to avoid a load caused by the urging means 94 for the mechanism that stops the movable body 60 at the second movable position.

  Moreover, since the biasing angle α formed by the contact surface 60a and the direction of the biasing force of the biasing means 94 decreases as the movable body 60 moves from the first movable position to the middle position, the biasing means applied to the movable body 60. The urging force of 94 is gradually reduced (see FIGS. 12A and 12B). As described above, the operation is appropriately assisted by the relatively strong urging force when the movable body 60 is operated from the first movable position, and the urging force of the urging means 94 becomes weaker from the first movable position toward the middle position. Therefore, even if the urging means 94 is in contact with the movable body 60, the movable body 60 is not given excessive momentum. Further, the force applied to the movable body 60 is adjusted by changing the contact relationship between the contact surface 60a of the movable body 60 and the contact portion 95 of the biasing means 94 without changing the biasing force by the torsion spring 96. Therefore, the mechanism can be simplified.

  The movable effect device 50 rotates the movable body 60 toward the first movable position by reversely driving the movable motor 90. Here, the movable body 60 rotates in a direction having a vector component against the gravity over the displacement of the second movable position from the first movable position, and the first movable position is changed from the second movable position to the first movable position. It rotates in a direction having a vector component in the direction in which gravity is applied over the displacement. In other words, the movable body 60 rotates in the direction having the vector component in the direction of gravitational force when operating from the second movable position, and thus does not require assistance from the biasing means 94. Since the urging means 94 is separated from the midway position to the second movable position, the urging force of the urging means 94 is applied during the operation of the movable body 60 from the second movable position to the midway position. Therefore, no unnecessary load is applied to the movable motor 90 to rotate beyond the rotation speed controlled by the movable motor 90. Further, the urging means 94 abuts the movable body 60 at an intermediate position when the movable body 60 is rotated toward the first movable position. Since it is set so as to gradually increase toward the first movable position, it is possible to minimize the load on the movable motor 90 during operation from the midway position to the first movable position. Note that when the movable body 60 is rotated toward the first movable position, the movable body 60 is about to fall toward the first movable position due to its own weight, so that it is canceled by the urging force of the urging means 94 applied from the middle position. Thus, it can be moved at a rotation speed controlled by the movable motor 90.

  In this way, according to the movable effect device 50, the urging force of the urging means 94 works strongly in the necessary range, and the influence is reduced in the unnecessary range. In any case, since it operates smoothly, a natural motion effect can be performed by the movable body 60. The movable effect device 50 can be separated from the movable body 60 at an intermediate position by the contact piece 95a of the contact portion 95 of the biasing means 94 being caught by the restriction portion 55a that is the end portion of the restriction groove 55. The urging means 94 can be easily brought into and out of contact with the movable body 60 at a midway position with a simple configuration of 55a. Moreover, the urging means 94 can appropriately assist the operation of the movable body 60 with a simple configuration of the abutment portion 95 and the torsion spring 96.

  In the movable body 60, a plurality of first light emitting portions 68 of the first decorative portion 66 facing outward at the first production position of the production body 64 are integrally or individually emitted by the movable light emitting body 63 (FIG. 14 ( see a)). Moreover, the movable body 60 is the second effect position of the effector 64, the second decorative portion 70 covered with the covering 78 at the first effect position faces outward, and the second light emission of the second ornamental portion 70 is performed. The unit 72 is caused to emit light by the movable light emitter 63 (see FIG. 14B). Here, in the movable body 60 of the embodiment, at the second rendering position of the rendering body 64, the movable light emitter 63 is not only the second light emitting section 72 but also a part of the first light emission located on the second decoration section 70 side. Since it faces the section 68, these first light emitting sections 68 can be combined with the second light emitting section 72 or independently. As described above, the movable body 60 can change the light emission mode by changing the portion that produces the light emission depending on the relative displacement between the effect body 64 and the covering body 78 (movable light emitting substrate 62). In addition, the movable body 60 displaces the rendering body 64 to the second rendering position, so that the first light emitting portion 68 on the distal end side is disengaged from the front side of the movable light emitting body 63, while the first light emission on the second decorative portion 70 side. Since the portion 68 is located on the front side of the movable light emitter 63, it can be divided into a first light emitting portion 68 that emits light at a second effect position of the effector 64 and a first light emitting portion 68 that does not produce light. it can.

  The position of the movable body 60 is restricted with a gap S so that the covering 78 and the hook-like extension portion 76 of the first decoration portion 66 in the effect body 64 do not hit at the first effect position (see FIG. 10). ) By filling the gap S with the extension piece 76a, it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the gap S. In addition, since the hook-like extension part 76 does not contact the covering 78, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of scratches and abnormal noise.

  The relationship between the movable body 60 and the decorative members 32 and 33 arranged around the movable effect device 50 is also changed by the operation between the first movable position and the second movable position. At the first effect position of the effector 64 at the first movable position, the first light emitting part 68 is caused to emit light by the movable light emitter 63 facing the first light emitting part 68 of the first decoration part 66, or the effector 64 is changed to the second effector 64. By displacing to the effect position, the first decorative portion 66 is hidden by the right decorative member 32 (see FIG. 2 or 3), and the second light emitting portion 72 of the second decorative portion 70 facing the player is a movable light emitter. A light emission effect is produced by the light irradiation by 63. The movable body 60 extends from the lower right corner portion to the upper left corner portion of the display unit 40a by displacing the effect body 64 from the first effect position to the second effect position at the second movable position. The upper portion of the first decorative portion 66 is located on the rear side of the left decorative member 33 provided on the upper left portion of the body 28, and one first light emitting portion 68 located at the forefront of the first decorative portion 66 is the left portion. It is hidden by the decorative member 33 (see FIG. 4). In addition, the effect body 64 displays the five first light emitting portions 68 positioned on the front end side of the first decorative portion 66 that is removed from the front side of the first light emitting substrate at the second effect position except for the most advanced one. The display effect is performed in accordance with the first light emitting unit 68 on the display unit 40a, and the first light emitting unit 68 is different from the effect produced by the light emission of the movable light emitter 63. Illumination is produced.

  Since the movable effect device 50 can independently operate the movable body 60, the effect body 64, and the operating body 100, it is possible to perform an operation effect in a plurality of modes by combining these operations. In addition, the movable effect device 50 can change the light emitting area of the movable body 60 by displacing the effect body 64, and can be combined with the light emission effect of the design light emitting unit 102 a by the operating light emitter 105 of the operating body 100 or independently. Thus, it is possible to produce a light emission with a more complicated pattern. In other words, according to the movable effect device 50 of the embodiment, the player's interest can be further enhanced.
