  Below, the operation | movement aspect of the movable production | presentation apparatus 100 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated.

  First, the case where the movable effect device 100 is in the state shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 12 will be described.

  In this state, the movable unit 300 is at a position closest to the fixed unit 200 (a position moved upward relative to the fixed unit 200). Hereinafter, the state of the movable effect device 100 is simply referred to as “proximity state”.

  In the proximity state, the movable part 300 is located in front of the upper part of the liquid crystal screen 26. The members such as the first movable member 331 constituting the movable accessory 330 are close to each other, and the movable accessory 330 as a whole constitutes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped member. In this case, a character composed of a character string “ABC” is formed on the front surface of the movable accessory 330, and a shape in which the movable accessory 330 is cracked can be imitated. Further, by causing the light emitting member 320 to emit light in this state, the character string “ABC” (translucent portion) of the movable accessory 330 is caused to emit light, and the player has a strong impression of the character string “character” of “ABC”. Can be given.

  Next, the case where the movable part moving means 400 is operated from the proximity state will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 17, when the moving motor 410 of the movable part moving unit 400 is operated and the output gear 420 (see FIG. 6) is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the back, the rotating arm 430 rotates clockwise when viewed from the back. To do. When the rotation arm 430 rotates, the slide member 440 connected to the rotation arm 430 slides to the right. At this time, since the slide member 440 is guided by the guide shafts 211 and 211, the slide member 440 slides straight rightward.

  When the slide member 440 slides to the right, the first upper arm 450 and the second upper arm 480 connected to the slide member 440 are rear surfaces about the first arm connection shaft 461 and the second arm connection shaft 491, respectively. Rotate counterclockwise. When the first upper arm 450 and the second upper arm 480 are rotated, the first lower arm 460 and the second lower arm 490 connected to the first upper arm 450 and the second upper arm 480, respectively, are also counterclockwise when viewed from the back. Rotate to.

  As the first lower arm 460 and the second lower arm 490 rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the back, the right end portions of the first lower arm 460 and the second lower arm 490 move downward with respect to the fixed portion 200. Will do. As a result, the movable-side main body 310 connected to the right end portions of the first lower arm 460 and the second lower arm 490 moves downward with respect to the fixed portion 200, and as a result, the motion portion 360 (FIG. 21 and the like). The entire movable part 300 including the reference) moves downward with respect to the fixed part 200 (that is, in a direction away from the fixed part 200) (see FIG. 18).

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 19, since the movable unit 300 is guided in the moving direction by the slide mechanism 240, the movable unit 300 moves straight to the lower left with respect to the fixed unit 200 (FIG. 18 and FIG. 19). (See FIG. 19). In this way, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 20, the state of the movable effect device 100 when the movable part 300 moves downward with respect to the fixed part 200 is simply referred to as a “separated state” below. .

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the separated state, the movable unit 300 is in a position moved from the upper part of the liquid crystal screen 26 toward the center. In this way, the player's attention can be directed to the movable unit 300 by shifting from the close state to the separated state and moving the movable unit 300 near the center of the liquid crystal screen 26.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, when the movable effect device 100 transitions from the close state to the separated state, the moving unit 360 of the movable unit 300 is also moved downward (in the separating direction) with respect to the fixed unit 200.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 22, the shaft portion 362 of the moving portion 360 abuts the lower end of the moving portion long groove 643 of the arm 640 and presses downward, so that the arm 640 is also moved downward together with the moving portion 360. Move to. At this time, since the transmission shaft 630 and the fulcrum shaft 650 are inserted into the transmission shaft long groove 641 and the fulcrum shaft long groove 642 of the arm 640, the arm 640 has a longitudinal direction of these long grooves (that is, the arm 640). Slide downward along the extending direction). In this manner, when the proximity state (see FIG. 16) transitions to the separated state (see FIG. 22), the position of the fulcrum shaft 650 with respect to the arm 640 moves upward.

  Next, the case where the transmission motor 250 is operated from the separated state will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 23, when the transmission motor 250 is operated and the transmission gear 610 is rotated clockwise in the rear view (counterclockwise in the front view), the rotating member 620 engaged with the transmission gear 610 is counterclockwise in the rear view. Rotate around. When the rotating member 620 rotates, the transmission shaft 630 provided on the rotating member 620 moves substantially to the left. As a result, the transmission shaft 630 presses the upper part of the arm 640 toward the left, and the arm 640 rotates around the fulcrum shaft 650 clockwise in the rear view (counterclockwise in the front view).

  When the arm 640 rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the back, the moving part 360 connected to the lower end of the arm 640 moves to the right (that is, moves by the moving part moving means 400 (moves downward with respect to the fixed part 200). Is a "different motion"). When the moving part 360 moves to the right, the slide member 341 to which the moving part 360 is fixed slides to the right as shown in FIG. At this time, since the slide member 341 is guided by the guide shafts 312 and 312, the slide member 341 slides straight rightward.

  As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, when the slide member 341 slides to the right, the first arm 344 connected to the slide member 341 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the back. When the first arm 344 rotates, the first link member 345 coupled to the first arm 344 slides to the lower left along the longitudinal direction of the long holes 345a and 345a (see FIG. 9). As a result, the second movable member 332 fixed to the first link member 345 also slides to the lower left.

  Further, when the first link member 345 slides to the lower left, the second link member 346 connected to the first link member 345 is substantially along the longitudinal direction of the long holes 346a and 346a (see FIG. 9). Slide to the left. As a result, the first movable member 331 fixed to the second link member 346 also slides to the left.

  When the slide member 341 slides to the right, the rear gear 342 meshed with the rack of the slide member 341 and the front gear 343 connected to the rear gear 342 rotate in the clockwise direction when viewed from the back.

  When the front gear 343 rotates, the third link member 347 slides downward along the longitudinal direction of the long holes 347a and 347a (see FIG. 9) via the rack engaged with the front gear 343. As a result, the third movable member 333 fixed to the third link member 347 also slides downward.

  Further, when the front gear 343 rotates, the fourth link member 348 slides to the upper right along the longitudinal direction of the long holes 348a and 348a (see FIG. 10) via the rack meshed with the front gear 343. To do. As a result, the fourth movable member 334 fixed to the fourth link member 348 also slides to the upper right.

  When the slide member 341 slides to the right, the second arm 349 connected to the slide member 341 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the back. When the second arm 349 rotates, the fifth link member 350 connected to the second arm 349 slides generally to the right along the longitudinal direction of the long holes 350a, 350a (see FIG. 10). To do. As a result, the fifth movable member 335 fixed to the fifth link member 350 also slides to the right.

  As described above, by operating the transmission motor 250 and transmitting the rotational power of the transmission motor 250 to the motion unit 360 via the transmission mechanism 600, as shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. Each of the movable members can be moved in a predetermined direction with respect to the light emitting member 320. As described above, the state of the movable effect device 100 when each movable member of the movable accessory 330 slides in a predetermined direction is simply referred to as a “actual agent operating state” below.

  As shown in FIGS. 27 and 29, in the accessory operating state, each movable member and each fixed member of the movable accessory 330 are moved away from each other. As a result, it is possible to produce an effect that the character composed of the movable agent 330 and the character string “ABC” is broken from the crack that has entered the movable agent 330 in the proximity state or the separation state, which gives an impression to the player. (Impact) can be given.

  In addition, in the role-operating state, the light emitting member 320 emits light only at a portion that does not face the movable role 330, that is, a cracked portion, thereby emphasizing the impression that the movable role 330 is cracked. Can give a stronger impression.

Here, in the above description, when the transmission motor 250 is operated from the separated state, the motion part 360 is assumed to perform “different motion” from the motion by the movable part moving means 400. The “different movement” refers to a movement in which at least one of the position before the movement of the movement section 360, the position after the movement, and the movement path when moving is different from the movement by the movable section moving means 400. To do.
For example, even if the position before and after the movement is the same, the movement is different if the movement path is different, and even if some of the movement paths are overlapping, the position of the position before and after the movement is different. If at least one is different, the movement is different.

In addition, when the movable effect device 100 is in the accessory operating state, if the transmission motor 250 is operated in the opposite direction to the above (that is, the arm 640 (see FIG. 23, etc.) is centered on the fulcrum shaft 650 as viewed from the rear. When it is rotated clockwise), the movable effect device 100 can be shifted again from the accessory operating state to the separated state.
Further, when the movable effect device 100 is in the separated state, when the moving motor 410 is operated in the opposite direction to the above (that is, when the slide member 440 (see FIG. 17 or the like) is slid to the left), The movable effect device 100 can be changed again from the separated state to the close state.

As described above, the movable effect device 100 of the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is disposed so as to cover the front surface and the side surface of the light emitting member 320 and the light emitting member 320 that can emit light on the front surface.

A transmission shaft long groove 641 is formed on one end side so that the transmission shaft 630 can slide in the extending direction of the arm 640, and between the one end side and the other end side of the arm 640. When a fulcrum shaft long groove 642 is formed so that the fulcrum shaft 650 is slidable in the extending direction of the arm 640, and the moving part 360 moves in a direction approaching and separating from the fixed part 200, Transmission shaft 630 Fulcrum shaft 650 with sliding in transmission shaft long groove 641 is one which slides the pivot axis elongated groove 642.
By configuring in this way, from the transmission motor 250 provided in the fixed part 200 to the moving part 360 (both the moving part 360 in the close state and the moving part 360 in the separated state) that moves closer to and away from the fixed part 200. The rotational power of In addition, since it is not necessary to provide a drive source for the movable member (the motion part 360), the load when the motion part 360 moves closer to and away from the fixed part 200 can be reduced.

  Note that, as described above, the transmission mechanism 600 transmits the rotational power from the transmission motor 250 to the motion unit 360 when the movable effect device 100 is in the separated state (see FIG. 23 and the like). It is also possible to communicate when 100 is in proximity.

  When the movable effect device 100 is in the proximity state (see FIG. 30A), the rotation fulcrum of the arm 640 is compared with the case where the movable effect device 100 is in the separated state (see FIG. 30B). The distance L from the fulcrum shaft 650 to the lower end of the arm 640 becomes shorter. Therefore, even when the transmission motor 250 is rotated by the same amount (that is, when the rotating member 620 is rotated by the same amount), the movement amount of the lower end of the arm 640 is smaller in the proximity state than in the separated state. Get smaller.

  As described above, even when the transmission motor 250 is rotated by the same amount, the movement amount of the lower end of the arm 640 is changed between the proximity state and the separation state, and the movement amount of the moving part 360 can be changed. it can. Thereby, for example, when the movable effect device 100 is in the proximity state, as shown in FIG. 31 (a), the movable members 330 of the movable accessory 330 are slightly moved, and an effect that seems to be broken is performed. When the movable effect device 100 is in the separated state, as shown in FIG. 31 (b), the movable members of the movable accessory 330 are moved greatly, and the movable accessory 330 is broken and the movable members are scattered. Such effects can be performed.

  In the present embodiment, the transmission mechanism 600 transmits the rotational power from the transmission motor 250 to the motion unit 360 to operate the movable accessory 330, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 32, a decoration member 700 may be provided at the lower end of the arm 640 of the transmission mechanism 600, and the decoration member 700 may be moved (moved) by the rotational power from the transmission motor 250. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the movable effect device 100 is in the accessory operating state, each movable member of the movable accessory 330 moves so as to spread outward and is formed on the front surface of the movable accessory 330. In addition, the character (translucent portion) composed of the character string “ABC” moves to a position that does not overlap with the light emitting member 320 in front view (the third movable member 333 and the fourth movable member 334 shown in FIG. 27). Translucent part).

However, for example, as shown in FIG. 33, the character (transparent) is always displayed before and after the transition (see FIG. 33 (a)) and after the transition (see FIG. 33 (b)). It is also possible to configure so that the light portion overlaps with the light emitting member 320 in front view.
In the case shown in FIG. 33, the translucent part 331 c of the first movable member 331, the translucent part 335 c of the fifth movable member 335, and the translucent part 337 c of the second fixing member 337 are always located in front of the light emitting member 320. For this reason, by causing the portion of the light emitting member 320 facing the translucent portion to emit light, the character composed of the character string “DE” is always emitted before and after the movable effect device 100 transitions to the accessory operating state. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, the light emitting member 320 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, but may be formed in a trapezoidal shape in a cross-sectional view as shown in FIG. By configuring in this way, for example, as shown in FIG. 34A, even if the light transmitting portion 334c of the fourth movable member 334 moves to a position where it does not overlap with the light emitting member 320 in front view, the light emission Light can be irradiated in an oblique direction from the side surface of the member 320 (the trapezoidal oblique side portion in FIG. 34B), and the light can be guided to the translucent portion 334c. As a result, even when the movable effect device 100 transitions to the accessory actuating state, the character (translucent part) can appropriately emit light.

The shape of the movable accessory 330 is not limited to a rectangular shape in front view as in the present embodiment, and may be a circular shape, other polygonal shapes, or the like.
Further, the drive mechanism 340 is not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment, and any mechanism may be used as long as it is arranged behind the light emitting member 320 and can move the movable accessory 330.
Further, the side surface portion of the movable accessory 330 is not limited to a plate-like portion as in the present embodiment, and may be a cylindrical rib extending to the rear of the light emitting member 320 or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the movable unit 300 is moved downward by the movable unit moving unit 400 (the moving unit moving unit), so that the arm 640 of the transmission mechanism 600 is slid downward through the moving unit 360. However, for example, the moving part moving means may be a mechanism for sliding the arm 640 of the transmission mechanism 600 directly downward.

  Moreover, the moving direction of the movable part 300 is not limited to this embodiment.

In addition, each movable member of the movable accessory 330 is moved in a “predetermined direction”. However, the predetermined direction is scattered outward with respect to the light emitting member 320 in a front view as in the present embodiment. It includes not only the direction but also a direction that concentrates inward with respect to the light emitting member 320.
In addition, the case where each movable member moves in a direction concentrating on the inner side with respect to the light emitting member 320 is not only the case where each movable member that was originally cracked and scattered is concentrated on the inside to form one lump. In addition, the case where each movable member that originally became one lump is further concentrated on the inner side to become a smaller lump is also included.
In addition, when each movable member moves in a direction that concentrates on the inner side with respect to the light emitting member 320, the movable member and the light emitting member 320 emit light so that the movable member and the light emitting member 320 do not collide (interfere). It is assumed that the member 320 is separated from the member 320 by a sufficient distance.
