The first to fourth sub movable members 43A, 43B, 43C, 43D disposed on the main movable member 42 are supported by the support pins 70A, 70B by the inertial force accompanying the swing of the main movable member 42. , 70C and 70D, and swings in the left-right direction. Further, when the excitation / de-excitation control of the electromagnetic solenoid 76 is continuously performed in a short cycle by the overall control device, the movable effect device 40 swings the main movable member 42 up and down between the normal position and the operating position. Therefore, the swing amplitude amount in the left-right direction of each of the first to fourth slave movable members 43A, 43B, 43C, 43D increases, and the first slave movable member 43A and the second slave movable member 43B come into contact with each other. The second slave movable member 43B and the third slave movable member 43C are in contact with each other, and the third slave movable member 43C and the fourth slave movable member 43D are in contact with each other.

  When the first slave movable member 43A and the second slave movable member 43B come into contact with each other, the second right contact surface 89B in the right contact surface 87B of the first slave movable member 43A and the left of the second slave movable member 43B. The first left contact surface 88A on the contact surface 87A contacts (see FIG. 12), or the first right contact surface 88B and the second contact movable member 43B on the right contact surface 87B of the first slave movable member 43A. The second left contact surface 89A on the surface 87A comes into contact (see FIG. 13). At this time, when the second right contact surface 89B of the first slave movable member 43A comes into contact with the first left contact surface 88A of the second slave movable member 43B, the second right contact surface 89B and the first left contact surface are contacted. In the portion where the moving area of the surface 88A overlaps, the angle change of the second right contact surface 89B of the first slave movable member 43A coincides with the angle change of the first left contact surface 88A of the second slave movable member 43B. Accordingly, the first slave movable member 43A and the second slave movable member 43B come into slidable contact with each other while being in surface contact, and the corner portion 90 of the first slave movable member 43A contacts the second slave movable member 43B in a pointed direction. This prevents the corner portion 90 of the second slave movable member 43B from contacting the first slave movable member 43A in a pointed direction. On the other hand, when the first right contact surface 88B of the first slave movable member 43A comes into contact with the second left contact surface 89A of the second slave movable member 43B, the first right contact surface 88B and the second left contact surface. In the portion where the moving areas of 89A overlap, the change in angle of the first right contact surface 88B of the first slave movable member 43A coincides with the change in angle of the second left contact surface 89A of the second slave movable member 43B. Accordingly, the first slave movable member 43A and the second slave movable member 43B come into slidable contact with each other while being in surface contact, and the corner portion 90 of the first slave movable member 43A contacts the second slave movable member 43B in a pointed direction. This prevents the corner portion 90 of the second slave movable member 43B from contacting the first slave movable member 43A in a pointed direction. Therefore, even if the first slave movable member 43A and the second slave movable member 43B come into contact with each other due to the swinging of the main movable member 42, both the slave movable members 43A and 43B are not easily damaged, and both the slave movable members 43A and 43B. Scratches and the like are difficult to form.

  Further, when the second slave movable member 43B and the third slave movable member 43C come into contact, the first right contact surface 88B and the third slave movable member 43C in the right contact surface 87B of the second slave movable member 43B. The second left contact surface 89A of the left contact surface 87A is in contact with the second contact surface 89A of the second slave movable member 43B or the second contact surface 89B of the second slave movable member 43B and the left contact surface 87A of the third slave movable member 43C. The first left contact surface 88A comes into contact. At this time, when the first right contact surface 88B of the second slave movable member 43B comes into contact with the second left contact surface 89A of the third slave movable member 43C, the first right contact surface 88B and the second left contact surface are contacted. In a portion where the moving areas of the surface 89A overlap, the change in angle of the first right contact surface 88B of the second slave movable member 43B matches the change in angle of the second left contact surface 89A of the third slave movable member 43C. Further, when the second right contact surface 89B of the second slave movable member 43B comes into contact with the first left contact surface 88A of the third slave movable member 43C, the second right contact surface 89B and the first left contact surface. In the portion where the moving area of 88A overlaps, the angle change of the second right contact surface 89B of the second slave movable member 43B coincides with the angle change of the first left contact surface 88A of the third slave movable member 43C. Accordingly, since the second slave movable member 43B and the third slave movable member 43C come into sliding contact with each other while being in surface contact, the second slave movable member 43B and the third slave movable member 43C are moved by the swing of the main movable member 42. Are in contact with each other, the slave movable members 43B and 43C are hardly damaged, and scratches and the like are not easily formed on the slave slave movable members 43B and 43C.

  Further, when the third slave movable member 43C and the fourth slave movable member 43D come into contact, the first right contact surface 88B and the fourth slave movable member 43D in the right contact surface 87B of the third slave movable member 43C. The second left contact surface 89A of the left contact surface 87A is in contact with the second contact surface 89B of the third slave movable member 43C, or the second contact surface 89B of the fourth slave movable member 43C and the left contact surface 87A of the fourth slave movable member 43D. The first left contact surface 88A comes into contact. At this time, when the first right contact surface 88B of the third slave movable member 43C comes into contact with the second left contact surface 89A of the fourth slave movable member 43D, the first right contact surface 88B and the second left contact surface are contacted. In the part where the moving areas of the surface 89A overlap, the change in angle of the first right contact surface 88B of the third slave movable member 43C matches the change in angle of the second left contact surface 89A of the fourth slave movable member 43D. Further, when the second right contact surface 89B of the third slave movable member 43C and the first left contact surface 88A of the fourth slave movable member 43D are in contact, the second right contact surface 89B and the first left contact surface In the part where the moving areas of 88A overlap, the change in angle of the second right contact surface 89B of the third slave movable member 43C coincides with the change in angle of the first left contact surface 88A of the fourth slave movable member 43D. Accordingly, since the third slave movable member 43C and the fourth slave movable member 43D are always in sliding contact with each other while being in surface contact, the third slave movable member 43C and the fourth slave movable member are swung by the swing of the main movable member 42. Even if 43D contacts each other, both the slave movable members 43C and 43D are not easily damaged, and scratches and the like are not easily formed on the slave slave movable members 43C and 43D.

  Note that the relative height between the first slave movable member 43A and the second slave movable member 43B, the second slave movable member 43B, and the second slave movable member 43B due to a change in posture between the normal position and the operating position of the master movable member 42. The relative height between the third slave movable member 43C and the relative height between the third slave movable member 43C and the fourth slave movable member 43D change. Therefore, the contact timing between the first slave movable member 43A and the second slave movable member 43B, the contact timing between the second slave movable member 43B and the third slave movable member 43C, the third slave movable member 43C and the above-mentioned The timing of contact with the fourth slave movable member 43D changes with the change in the posture of the primary movable member 42, but the first right contact surface 88B of the right contact surface 87B and the other slave movable member of one adjacent slave movable member. 43 is in contact with the second left contact surface 89A of the left contact surface 87A, and the second right contact surface 89B of the right contact surface 87B of one adjacent slave movable member and the left contact surface 87A of the other slave movable member 43 are contacted. The relationship in contact with the first left contact surface 88A does not change.

  According to the movable effect device 40 of the embodiment configured as described above, in each of the first to fourth sub movable members 43 (43A, 43B, 43C, 43D) constituting the movable effect device 40, they are adjacent to each other. The contact surface 87 of one slave movable member 43 and the contact surface 87 of the other slave movable member 43 are the contact surface 87 of one slave movable member 43 and the other slave member as the posture of both slave movable members 43 and 43 changes. Since the angle changes are formed so as to coincide with each other in a portion where the moving areas of the contact surface 87 of the movable member 43 overlap, both the contact surfaces 87 are swung when both the slave movable members 43 and 43 are swung relatively close to each other. , 87 come into surface contact. Therefore, the impact applied to both the slave movable members 43, 43 when the adjacent slave movable members 43, 43 swing and come into contact with each other is alleviated, and the slave movable members 43, 43 are less likely to be damaged or scratched. Further, it is possible to prevent the decorativeness of the movable effect device 40 from being deteriorated and to prevent the quality of the pachinko machine P from being deteriorated.

  The first to fourth sub movable members 43 (43A, 43B, 43C, 43D) are formed in a substantially rhombus shape, so that the left contact surface 87A and the right side provided on the left side in the natural stop state are provided. A first left contact surface 88A that is positioned on the support pin 70 side of the corner portion 90 and that is inclined away from the adjacent movable member 43 as it approaches the support pin 70; The first right contact surface 88B and the second left contact surface 89A which is located on the opposite side of the corner portion 90 from the support pin 70 and inclines away from the adjacent secondary movable member 43 as the distance from the support pin 70 increases. And the second right contact surface 89B. In addition, the first left contact surface 88A and the second left contact surface 89A, the first right contact surface 88B, and the second right contact surface 89B of each of the sub movable members 43 are positioned such that the movement locus ML of the corner portion 90 is below. An angle change of the first left contact surface 88A or the first right contact surface 88B of the slave movable member 43 with respect to the reference line SL is a reference of the second left contact surface 89A or the second right contact surface 89B of the adjacent slave member 43. Since it is formed so as to coincide with the angle change with respect to the line SL, when the adjacent slave movable members 43, 43 are in contact with each other, the first left contact surface 88A or the first right contact surface 88B of one slave movable member 43 and the other The second right contact surface 89B or the second left contact surface 89A of the slave movable member 43 can be brought into surface contact, and the impact applied to the slave movable members 43 and 43 by the contact can be appropriately reduced.

  Further, in the movable effect device 40 of the embodiment, the posture displacements of the first to fourth slave movable members 43A, 43B, 43C, and 43D that are swung by the inertial force accompanying the swing of the main movable member 42 are irregular. Therefore, the decorativeness by the swing of each of the subordinate movable members 43A, 43B, 43C, 43D is improved, and the effect of the display effect in the display effect part H1 of the symbol display device H can be further enhanced.
