It has a configuration that has.

  In the gaming machine configured as described above, when the movable accessory linearly slides in front of the effect display device by the linear driving means, the relative relationship between the first and second circuit boards accompanying the sliding movement is relatively large. When the change in position is absorbed by the bending deformation of the reversing portion formed in the first conducting portion of the flat cable, and the movable accessory rotates around the axis perpendicular to the slide movement direction by the rotation driving means, the rotational movement is caused by the flat cable. Since it is absorbed by the winding / unwinding operation of the winding part, it is possible to cope with both the linear motion and the rotational motion of the movable accessory with a single flat cable.

In the above configuration, the linear drive means has a support shaft that pivotally supports the movable accessory, and a winding portion is formed by folding the intermediate portion around the support shaft and winding it a plurality of turns. When the folded part between the inner peripheral end side of the winding part and the intermediate part is fixed to the support shaft, the part extending from the second conducting part of the flat cable to the intermediate part through the winding part is movable It is preferable that it can be drawn compactly in the interior space.

Specifically, when the left first movable accessory 33 is slid by a predetermined amount from the standby position shown in FIG. 11A in the direction of the arrow X2, as shown in FIG. 11B, the first movable accessory 33 is moved. The reversing part 50e of the first conducting part 50a derived from the object 33 moves in the same direction by about half of the sliding movement amount of the turn-back part T1, and similarly, the first movable accessory 33 on the right side moves from the standby position in the direction of arrow X1. When the slide part moves by a predetermined amount, the reversing part 50e of the first conduction part 50a derived from the first movable accessory 33 moves in the same direction by about half of the sliding movement amount of the turn-back part T1. The relative position change between the relay board 57 and the second circuit board 47 is absorbed by the behavior of the one conduction part 50a.

  In the state shown in FIG. 21, the pair of second motors 46 are rotationally driven in opposite directions, the left first movable accessory 33 is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (rotated) by the rotational driving means 35, and the right first After the first movable combination 33 is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise (rotation) by the rotation driving means 35, both the first movable combination 33 are slightly slid in the proximity direction by the respective linear drive means 34. As shown in FIG. 22, both the first movable accessories 33 are stopped in a posture in which the display plates 49 abut each other at the front center portion of the display screen 25a. Thereby, one face is expressed by the two designs respectively applied to the design plates 51 of both first movable accessories 33, and the display form in which the face of one person faces the front at the front center portion of the display screen 25a. It becomes. At that time, the winding portion 50 c of the flat cable 50 is wound around the axis Y that is the rotation center axis of the first movable accessory 33, and the folded portions T <b> 2 and T <b> 3 at both the inner and outer peripheral ends thereof. Are fixed to the support shaft 44a and the support base 45, respectively, so that the relative angles of the folded portions T2 and T3 at the inner and outer peripheral ends of the winding portion 50c as the first movable accessory 33 rotates. Changes. Specifically, when the first movable accessory 33 on the left side rotates in the direction of arrow R from the standby position shown in FIG. 11A, as shown in FIG. 11C, the inside of the first movable accessory 33 Thus, the folded portion T3 on the outer circumferential end side of the winding portion 50c rotates in the rewinding direction with respect to the folded portion T2 on the inner circumferential end side, and similarly, the winding portion 50c is also inside the first movable accessory 33 on the right side. Since the turn-up portion T3 on the outer peripheral end side rotates in the rewinding direction with respect to the turn-up portion T2 on the inner peripheral end side, the second movement accompanying the rotation of the first movable accessory 33 is caused by the behavior of the winding portion 50c. The circuit board 47 is allowed to rotate.

  Further, when the left and right first movable accessories 33 are in the display form shown in FIG. 22, the first movable combinations 33 are slightly slid in the separating direction by the respective linear driving means 34 and then rotated. After the first movable combination 33 is further rotated (rotated) by 90 degrees by the driving means 35, that is, the left and right first movable combinations 33 are rotated by half rotation (180 degrees rotation) in opposite directions with respect to the standby position. ), The first movable combination 33 is displayed again when the first movable combination 33 is slid by the linear driving means 34 in the direction of approaching each other, and as shown in FIG. The plate 49 is stopped in a posture facing the front. As a result, the characters “battle spirit” are expressed by the display portions respectively provided on the display plates 49 of the first movable actors 33, and the characters are displayed in the front center portion of the display screen 25a. . Also in this case, the movement of the first movable accessory 33 in the rotation direction is absorbed by the rewinding operation of the winding portion 50c, and the winding at the position shown in FIG. 11C inside the first movable accessory 33 on the left side. The turning portion T3 on the outer peripheral end side of the turning portion 50c further rotates in the rewinding direction with respect to the turning portion T2 on the inner peripheral end side, and the outer peripheral end of the winding portion 50c also inside the first movable accessory 33 on the right side. The side folded portion T3 rotates in the rewinding direction with respect to the inner circumferential end folded portion T2.

  When the left and right first movable accessories 33 are in the display form shown in FIG. 23, the first movable combinations 33 are slightly slid in the separating direction by the respective linear drive means 34, and then rotated. When the first movable combination 33 is rotated in the opposite direction by the driving means 35, the first movable combination 33 is again in the display form shown in FIG. 21 with the respective design plates 51 facing the front, The winding part 50c of the flat cable 50 rotates in the winding direction and returns to the standby position shown in FIG. Thereafter, the first movable accessory 33 is slid in a direction away from each other by the linear driving means 34, and the first movable accessory 33 on the left side reaches the left end (the end position in the arrow X1 direction) of the display screen 25a. When the first motor 38 is stopped at the point of time when the first motor 38 is moved to the right end of the display screen 25a (the end position in the arrow X2 direction), the right first movable accessory 33 is moved. At the standby positions on both sides of the display screen 25a, the most distant state is reached, and the relative position change between the relay board 57 and the second circuit board 47 during this time is absorbed by the first conduction part 50a of the flat cable 50.

  As described above, when the first movable accessory 33 of the first movable accessory device 23 slides linearly in front of the effect display device 25 by the linear driving means 34, the relay board 57 accompanying the slide movement. The relative position change between the (first circuit board) and the second circuit board 47 is absorbed by the first conducting portion 50a of the flat cable 50, and the first movable accessory 33 is slid in the sliding direction by the rotation driving means 35. When rotating around the axis Y orthogonal to the rotation, the rotational motion is absorbed by the winding / unwinding operation of the winding portion 50c of the flat cable 50, so that the first movable accessory 33 is moved by the single flat cable 50. Both the linear motion and the rotational motion can be dealt with, and the second motor 46 and the second circuit board 4 inside regardless of the slide position and the rotation angle of the first movable accessory 33. Power can be supplied to the LED above. Further, the linear drive means 34 has support shafts 43a and 44a extending in a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction, and the upper and lower ends of the first movable accessory 33 (support base 45) rotate on the support shafts 43a and 44a. The winding portion 50c of the flat cable 50 is wound a plurality of turns on one support shaft 44a, and the folded portions T2 and T3 at the inner and outer peripheral ends thereof are respectively attached to the support shaft 44a and the support base 45. Since it is fixed, the portion from the second conducting portion 50d of the flat cable 50 through the winding portion 50c to the intermediate portion 50b can be compactly routed to the internal space of the first movable accessory 33.

  Next, the operation of the second movable accessory device 24 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, when the pair of second movable accessory 61 is stopped at the standby position above the display screen 25a. The pin 65, which is a shaft support portion (rotation center) of the pair of rotating plates 63, is located inside the virtual line Q connecting the hook portions 64a, 64b of the tension coil spring 64, and the rotating plates 63 correspond to each other. The tension coil spring 64 is elastically biased in the direction of the arrow α in FIG. Therefore, both the second movable accessories 61 stopped at the standby position receive the urging force of the tension coil spring 64 and are prevented from wobbling.

  When the motor 62 is rotationally driven in one direction in this state, the two rotating plates 63 rotate synchronously in opposite directions using the motor 62 as a driving source, and the virtual line Q gradually approaches the pin 65 accordingly, as shown in FIG. As shown, the biasing direction of the tension coil spring 64 with respect to the rotating plate 63 is reversed at the position where the three points of the hook portions 64a and 64b of the tension coil spring 64 and the pin 65 overlap each other on the imaginary line Q ( The arrow β direction in FIG. Therefore, when the imaginary line Q exceeds the pin 65, the two rotating plates 63 rotate quickly while being assisted by the urging force of the corresponding tension coil spring 64, and accordingly, each rotating plate 63 is linked to the link mechanism (first operation). The pair of second movable objects 61 connected via the first and second arms 70 and 71) fall to the front of the display screen 25a while increasing the distance between the opposing surfaces. Then, when the motor 62 is stopped when both the rotating plates 63 are rotated to the maximum angle, as shown in FIG. 17 to FIG. 19, both the second movable accessories 61 are actuated in front of the display screen 25 a in the most separated state. At the position, the design member 72 is exposed from between the left and right second movable accessories 61. At this time, both the first movable accessory 33 may be stopped at the standby positions on both sides of the display screen 25a without operating the first movable accessory device 23 described above, but as shown in FIG. In addition, when the first movable accessory device 23 is operated so that both the first movable accessories 33 are in a display form in which the display plate 49 faces the front, the design exposed between both the second movable accessories 61. Since the member 72 and the display plates 49 of the first movable accessories 33 are continuously displayed in the vertical direction at the front center portion of the display screen 25a, the design member 72 and the display portions of the display plate 49 are connected to each other. Display with high impact. Note that the tension coil spring 64 urges the rotating plate 63 in a direction to prevent the movement of the second movable accessory 61 stopped at the operating position, so that both the springs stopped at the operating position are stopped. The second movable accessory 61 also receives the urging force of the tension coil spring 64 and is prevented from wobbling.

  Further, when the second movable accessory 61 of the second movable accessory device 24 is in the operating position, when the motor 62 is driven to rotate in the other direction, both rotary plates 63 rotate synchronously in the opposite direction to the above, Along with this, both the second movable accessories 61 move from the operating position to the standby position. Also in this case, the urging direction of the tension coil spring 64 against the rotating plate 63 is reversed in the middle, and the tension coil spring 64 causes the rotating plate 63 to rotate while the rotating plate 63 rotates to the angular position shown in FIGS. The tension coil spring 64 biases the rotating plate 63 in the arrow α direction while the rotating plate 63 rotates to the angular position shown in FIGS. 16 to 14. Therefore, in the initial stage where both the second movable accessories 61 return from the operating position to the standby position, the motor 62 rotates the rotating plate 63 against the urging force in the arrow β direction by the tension coil spring 64. When the second movable accessory 61 approaches the standby position above the display screen 25a, the motor 62 rotates the rotating plate 63 while being assisted by the biasing force in the direction of the arrow α by the tension coil spring 64. That is, when the second movable accessory 61 rises from the operating position toward the standby position, the rotating plate 63 on which the weight of the second movable accessory 61 acts requires a large driving force in the vicinity of the standby position. However, since a part of the driving force can be borne by the biasing force of the tension coil spring 64, the second movable accessory 61 is placed at the standby position above the display screen 25a using the motor 62 having a relatively low torque. Can be moved smoothly.

  It should be noted that the motor 62 is urged by the tension coil spring 64 in the direction of the arrow α until the imaginary line Q exceeds the pin 65 at the initial stage when the two movable members 61 move from the standby position toward the operating position. The rotary plate 63 is driven against the rotation, but a large force in the direction opposite to the arrow α acts on the rotary plate 63 due to the weight of the second movable accessory 61. It is not necessary to increase the load torque of the motor 62 by the urging force, and both the second movable accessories 61 can be smoothly moved from the standby position to the operating position.

  As described above, when both the second movable members 61 of the second movable member device 24 reciprocate between the standby position and the operating position, the pair of rotating plates 63 are mutually connected using the motor 62 as a drive source. When synchronously rotating in the opposite direction, the imaginary line Q connecting the hook portions 64a and 64b of the tension coil spring 64 changes so as to cross the corresponding shaft support portion (pin 65) of the rotating plate 63, so both the hook portions 64a and 64b. The urging direction of the tension coil spring 64 against the rotating plate 63 can be reversed at the position where the three points of the pin 65 overlap on the virtual line Q. In this case, when both the second movable accessories 61 are raised to the vicinity of the standby position above the display screen 25a, the tension coil spring 64 biases the corresponding rotating plate 63 in a direction against the weight of the second movable accessory 61. Then, when the rotation of the rotating plate 63 is assisted, and both the second movable accessories 61 are lowered to the vicinity of the operating position in front of the display screen 25a, the tension coil spring 64 causes the rotating plate 63 to move to its own weight. The second movable accessory 61 can be smoothly reciprocated between the standby position and the operating position by using a small motor 62 with a relatively low torque, and the standby position. The wobbling of the second movable accessory 61 can be suppressed at each stop position of the operating position.

  In the above embodiment, both the first movable accessories 33 of the first movable accessory device 23 are slid in the left-right direction in front of the display screen 25a of the effect display device 25. It is also possible to slide the pair of first movable members arranged at the upper and lower portions of the screen 25a in the vertical direction. In this case, the rotation driving means rotates the first movable member around the axis in the horizontal direction. You can make it.

  In the above embodiment, the second movable accessory device 24 different from the first movable accessory device 23 according to the present invention is arranged around the effect display device 25, and these two kinds of movable accessories. Although the devices 23 and 24 are operated individually or simultaneously, a movable effect with a strong impact is realized. However, the second movable accessory device 24 is omitted, and only the first movable accessory device 23 is displayed. You may arrange | position around.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the first movable accessory device 23 according to the present invention is applied to a pachinko machine has been described. However, the present invention can also be applied to a slot machine that is a gaming machine other than a pachinko machine. .
