In this state, by turning on each LED 46 of the light emitting member 22, a part of the movable member 21 exposed in the game area 4 is intensively irradiated, and a predetermined amount is applied to the movable member 21 (game area 4). A part of the movable member 21 exposed in the game area 4 can be efficiently irradiated through the LEDs 46 of the light emitting member 22 held at an angle.
Thus, in the first position, it is possible to irradiate the movable member in a flexible manner corresponding to the exposed state of the movable member 21 in the game area 4, and the lighting device can be effectively used.

  Subsequently, as described above, the driving member 33 is driven from the state in which the movable member 21 is held at the first position shown in FIGS. 3 to 11, and the movable member 21 is moved between the first position and the second position. The case of moving to the intermediate position will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, when the drive motor 33 is rotated clockwise in the state shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the drive gear 35 fixed to the drive shaft 33A is rotated clockwise and the driven gear 36 is counterclockwise. It is rotated. Accordingly, the driven gear 36 moves the rack member 32 to the left in FIGS. 8 and 9 along the rail guide portion 31 of the rail guide member 30 based on meshing with the rack teeth 32A.

  Here, as described above, the rack member 32, the upper support member 37, the movable member 21, and the lower support member 41 are integrally formed. Therefore, when the rack member 32 moves to the left, the movable member 21 is also moved. The movable member 21 moves to the left together with the rack member 32, and then the movable member 21 moves to an intermediate position between the first position and the second position as shown in FIGS.

  In a state where the movable member 21 has moved to an intermediate position between the first position and the second position, as shown in FIG. 12, about half of the entire movable member 21 imitating the hand of a dinosaur is placed in the game area 4 (the display device 6). Exposed from the display area).

  The light emitting member 22 is rotatably supported by a support shaft 40 suspended from the shaft support portion 39 of the upper support member 37 on the upper side, and the shaft support portion 41A of the lower support member 41 on the lower side. Since it is rotatably supported by the support shaft 41 </ b> B standing upright, it is moved together with the movable member 21 moved from the first position as described above.

  Based on the movement of the light emitting member 22, the support shaft 53 of the light emitting member 22 arranged at the end position of the guide guide path 52 of the guide guide portion 51 in the upper guide member 47 is as shown in FIGS. The light emitting member 22 is moved along the guide guide path 52 to the substantially center position of the guide guide path 52 and is disposed at the end position of the guide guide path 58 of the guide guide section 57 in the lower guide guide member 48 at the same time. The support shaft is moved along the guide guide path 58 to a substantially central position of the guide guide path 58.

  At this time, since the light emitting member 22 is rotatably supported between the upper support member 37 and the lower support member 41 as described above, the upper support shaft 53 and the lower support shaft are guided by the guide guide path. 14 to 16, the base end portion side (the right end portion side in FIG. 14) of the base material 45 is slightly close to the game area 4 during the movement of the base material 45. The front end side (left end side in FIG. 14) is rotated so as to be slightly separated from the game area 4. In this state, the inclination angle of the light emitting member 22 with respect to the game area 4 is smaller than that in the state shown in FIG.

  As described above, while the movable member 21 is moved to the intermediate position between the first position and the second position, the exposure state of the movable member 21 in the game area 4 gradually changes and corresponds to the exposure state of the movable member 21. The light emitting member 22 is gradually rotated while being guided and guided by the guide guide paths 52 and 58 in the guide guide portions 51 and 57 of the upper guide guide member 47 and the lower guide guide member 48 and emits light from each LED 46. As a result, the movable member 21 exposed in the game area 4 is irradiated, so that the game of the movable member 21 based on the movement of the movable member 21 is also performed between the first position and the second position where the movable member 21 is movable. It becomes possible to irradiate the movable member 21 corresponding to the exposed state in the region 4 in a flexible manner, and the illumination device can be effectively used.

  Subsequently, as described above, the drive motor 33 is further driven from the state where the movable member 21 is held at the intermediate position between the first position and the second position shown in FIGS. The case of moving to the second position will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, in the state shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, when the drive motor 33 is further rotated clockwise, the drive gear 35 fixed to the drive shaft 33A is rotated clockwise and the driven gear 36 is counterclockwise. To be rotated. Accordingly, the driven gear 36 moves the rack member 32 in the left direction in FIGS. 13 and 14 along the rail guide portion 31 of the rail guide member 30 based on meshing with the rack teeth 32A.

  Here, as described above, the rack member 32, the upper support member 37, the movable member 21, and the lower support member 41 are integrally formed. Therefore, when the rack member 32 moves to the left, the movable member 21 is also moved. The movable member 21 moves to the left together with the rack member 32, and then the movable member 21 moves to the second position as shown in FIGS.

  In the state where the movable member 21 has moved to the second position, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the entire movable member 21 simulating the hand of a dinosaur is exposed from the game area 4 (display area of the display device 6). Yes.

  The light emitting member 22 is rotatably supported by a support shaft 40 suspended from the shaft support portion 39 of the upper support member 37 on the upper side, and the shaft support portion 41A of the lower support member 41 on the lower side. Since it is rotatably supported by the support shaft 41 </ b> B standing upright, it is moved together with the movable member 21 that is moved to the second position as described above.

  Based on the movement of the light emitting member 22, the support shaft 53 of the light emitting member 22 arranged at the intermediate position of the guide guide path 52 of the guide guide portion 51 in the upper guide member 47 is as shown in FIGS. The light emitting member 22 is moved along the guide guide path 52 to the opposite end of the guide guide path 52, and at the same time, disposed at the intermediate position of the guide guide path 58 of the guide guide portion 57 in the lower guide guide member 48. The support shaft is moved along the guide guide path 58 to the opposite end of the guide guide path 58.

  At this time, since the light emitting member 22 is rotatably supported between the upper support member 37 and the lower support member 41 as described above, the upper support shaft 53 and the lower support shaft are guided by the guide guide path. While moving between 52 and 58, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, the base end side (the right end side in FIG. 23) of the base material 45 is slightly close to the game area 4, and the base material 45 The front end side (left end side in FIG. 23) is rotated so as to be slightly separated from the game area 4. In this state, the light emitting member 22 is substantially parallel to the movable member 21 (game area 4).

Thus, while the movable member 21 is moved from the intermediate position to the second position, each LED 46 is guided to the guide guide paths 52 and 58 in the guide guide portions 51 and 57 of the upper guide guide member 47 and the lower guide guide member 48. Since the entire movable member 21 exposed in the game area 4 is irradiated by rotating the LED 46 while being guided and guided and held in a state parallel to the game area 4, the movable member 21 is irradiated. The entire movable member 21 exposed in the game area 4 can be efficiently irradiated through the LEDs 46 of the light emitting member 22 held in parallel with the game 21 (game area 4).
Thus, in the second position, it is possible to irradiate the movable member 21 in a flexible manner corresponding to the exposed state of the movable member 21 in the game area 4, and the lighting device can be effectively used.

  In the description of the embodiment, when the movable member 21 is held at the first position, the movable member 21 is moved from the first position to the intermediate position of the second position, and the movable member 21 is moved from the intermediate position to the first position. Although the case where the movable member 21 is moved to the second position has been described, the movable member 21 is moved in the opposite direction, that is, when the movable member 21 is moved from the second position to the intermediate position. When the position is moved from the intermediate position to the first position, only the operation opposite to the above-described operation is performed, and the description is omitted because it is easy to understand from the above description.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the light emitting member 22 is disposed inside the movable member 21, and the movable member 21 is exposed by the LED 46 of the light emitting member 22 corresponding to the exposed state from the game area 4 accompanying the movement of the movable member 21. Although it was configured to irradiate the part efficiently, the present invention is not limited to this, and various movable actors whose exposure amount from the game area 4 changes can be irradiated from the outside or inside by the light emitting member 22 or movable. It is possible to irradiate a member (for example, a liquid crystal module) disposed around the movable member from the inside of the member 21.
In the present embodiment, the movement of the movable member 21 and the light emitting member 22 and the rotation of the light emitting member 22 are simultaneously performed by driving the drive motor 33. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the movement of the movable member 21 and the light emitting member 22 are performed.
