The number of outer decorative portions 80 formed is not particularly limited, and one or more outer decorative portions 80 may be formed. In the example of FIG. 7, FIG. 9, etc., two outer decorative portions 80, 80 are provided with the central decorative portion 79 interposed therebetween. These two extended decorative portions 80 and 80 may be referred to as a first extended decorative portion 80a and a second extended decorative portion 80b, respectively. The first outer decorative portion 80a and the second outer decorative portion 80b shown in this example are configured to be 180 degrees rotationally symmetric with respect to each other about the rotation axis Rm. In addition, the area occupied by the first outer decorative portion 80a, the second outer decorative portion 80b, and the central decorative portion 79 sandwiched between both of the movable member 42 in the rear view of the movable member 42 is a hatched region in FIG. 9A.

The movable member 42 has a contour shape of the base end 82 of the extended decorative portion 80 so that the light emitted from the light emitting surface 43a of the light emitting body 43 is perpendicularly incident on the end surface on the base end 82 side. It is preferable to be configured. For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, a plurality of light emitters 43 are arranged with their light emitting surfaces 43a facing each other so that light generated from the light emitters 43 travels along the rotational radius direction R of the movable member. In this case, the contour shape of the base end 82 of the extended decorative portion 80 is formed in an arc shape with the rotation axis Rm of the movable member 42 as the center so that the light generated by the light emitter 43 can be perpendicularly incident on the end face on the base end 82 side. It is preferable from the viewpoint of suppressing refraction of light when entering the extended decorative portion 80 as much as possible. However, this prohibits the formation of the end face contour shape on the base end 82 side of the extended decorative portion 80 so that refracted light Rew is generated when light enters the extended decorative portion 80 as shown in FIG. 14B. In other words, the end face contour shape on the base end 82 side of the extended decorative portion 80 is not particularly limited as long as it is a shape capable of guiding light into the extended decorative portion 80.

(Surface part 83)
The surface portion 83 is formed so as to be able to guide at least part of the light incident on the movable member 42 in the direction as far as possible from the end surface along the normal direction of the end surface on the base end 82 side of the extended decorative portion 80. The Such a surface portion 83 can be specifically realized by, for example, forming a plate material made of a light guide into a predetermined shape.

  The surface portion 83 has a fan-shaped portion 84 having an outer contour shape formed in a substantially fan shape with the spreading distance r being substantially constant. Here, the spread distance r indicates the distance between the outer end of the movable member 42 along the rotational radius direction R and the rotational axis Rm of the movable member 42, and is the arc that forms the outer contour shape of the fan-shaped portion 84. The radius. The surface part 83 should just be provided with the at least 1 fan-shaped part 84, and may be provided with the multiple types of fan-shaped part 84 from which the spreading distance r differs.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 9, as the fan-shaped portion 84, three types of first fan-shaped portion 84a, second fan-shaped portion 84b, and third fan-shaped portion 84c are formed in descending order of the spreading distance. At this time, when the radius (expansion distance r) of the arc that forms the outer contour shape of the first fan-shaped portion 84a, the second fan-shaped portion 84b, and the third fan-shaped portion 84c is r1, r2, and r3, r1 is the most Large, then r2 is large and r3 is the smallest. In the surface portion 83 shown in FIG. 9, one first fan-shaped portion 84a, two second fan-shaped portions 84b, and two third fan-shaped portions 84c are formed, and a total of five fan-shaped portions 84 are formed. Yes. The second fan-shaped portion 84 b is connected to the first fan-shaped portion 84 a at both adjacent positions along the rotational direction of the movable member 42, and the third fan-shaped portion 84 c is an adjacent position along the rotational direction of the movable member 42. Is connected to the second fan-shaped portion 84b.

Further, at the boundary position between the first fan-shaped portion 84a and the second fan-shaped portion 84b, the positions of the inner edges of the first fan-shaped portion 84a and the second fan-shaped portion 84b are aligned with each other, and the second fan-shaped portion 84b and the third fan-shaped portion are aligned. The positions of the inner edges of the second fan-shaped portion 84b and the third fan-shaped portion 84c are aligned with each other at the boundary position of the portion 84c.

  A step may be formed in the thickness direction of the movable member 42 at the boundary position between the first fan-shaped portion 84a and the second fan-shaped portion 84b and at the boundary position between the second fan-shaped portion 84b and the third fan-shaped portion 84c. The first fan-shaped portion 84a and the second fan-shaped portion 84b, or the second fan-shaped portion 84b and the third fan-shaped portion 84c may be smoothly connected without being formed.

(Extending part 85)
It is preferable that the surface portion 83 is formed on the fan-shaped portion 84 so that the outer peripheral edge thereof is extended outwardly to form an extended portion 85. In the case where the surface portion 83 has the first fan-shaped portion 84a, the second fan-shaped portion 84b, and the third fan-shaped portion 84c as described above, it is possible that at least the first fan-shaped portion 84a has an extension portion formed thereon. It is preferable in that the light emitted from a position far from the rotation axis Rm of the movable member 42 can be made more conspicuous among the light emitted visually recognized by the player. However, this does not prohibit the extending portion 85 from being formed in the second fan-shaped portion 84b or the third fan-shaped portion 84c.

  The formation pattern of the extending portion 85 is not limited to the pattern formed in the convex curve shape as shown in FIG. 9 in which the outer contour shape protrudes smoothly outward, and the outer contour shape protrudes outward. However, it may be a pattern formed in an appropriate shape such as a jagged shape or a wave shape.

  Note that, when the extending portion 85 is formed in the first fan-shaped portion 84 a, the extending end position of the extending portion 85 corresponds to the far end position F of the movable member 42. That is, in the example of FIG. 9B, the extending portion 85 protrudes toward the far end position F while exhibiting a smooth contour shape. At this time, in the extending portion 85, the radius of curvature LB at the far end position F (the curvature center Q of the curvature circle) is smaller than the distance LA between the rotation axis R of the movable member and the far end position F.

(Material of extended decorative part 80)
The material of the extended decorative portion 80 is not particularly limited as long as it has light transmissivity, but a material that is hard to break and has high transparency is more preferably selected. In this respect, a resin material is preferably selected. Is done.

(Inclined surface part 78)
The movable member 42 is provided with an inclined surface portion 78 in the extended decorative portion 80. At this time, the inclined surface portion 78 only needs to be provided in at least one of the first outer decorative portion 80a and the second outer decorative portion 80b, but it is more preferable that the inclined surface portion 78 is provided in both the movable member 42 as a whole. It is preferable because it is easy to give the player a sense of emitting light with high brightness.

  The inclined surface portion 78 may be formed at the outer peripheral end of the extended decorative portion 80 of the movable member 42 in the plan view of the decorative body 40, or may be formed inside the extended decorative portion 80 of the movable member 42.

  The inclined surface portion 78 can be specifically formed, for example, by forming an inclined surface at a predetermined position of the movable member 42 by appropriately notching obliquely in the front-rear direction (thickness direction) of the movable member 42. However, at least a part of the inclined surface 78a that forms a transverse inclined surface 78a is formed on the inclined surface formed with the cutout, that is, at least a part of the inclined surface portion 78 is a transversely inclined surface 78a.

(Transverse inclined surface 78a)
The transversely inclined surface 78 a is an inclined surface that obliquely crosses the direction along the rotational radius direction R of the movable member 42. Such a transverse inclined surface 78a may form at least a part of the inclined surface portion 78, or may form the entire inclined surface portion 78.

  In the inclined surface portion 78, the transverse inclined surface 78 a is formed at a position that intersects at least a part of the path of the light emitted from the light emitter 43 according to the rotation of the movable member 42. In addition, when the light emitting body 43 is provided with two or more, the crossing inclined surface 78a should just be formed in the position which cross | intersects the course of the light emitted about at least one part of the light emitting body 43. FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 7, the transverse inclined surface 78 a of the inclined surface portion 78 is provided at the outer peripheral end position of the outer decorative portion 80, and is provided in a predetermined range along the outer peripheral end.

  If the crossing inclined surface 78a is formed so as to reflect at least a part of crossed light whose paths have crossed according to the rotation of the movable member 42 to form reflected light, the shape and the inclined state can be set as appropriate. It is. The crossing light is formed by the inclined surface 78a across the path of the light emitted from the light emitter 43 according to the rotation of the movable member 42. In addition, when a plurality of light emitters 43 are provided, the transverse inclined surface 78a reflects a part of the crossed light that is formed so as to cross the path of light emitted from at least a part of the light emitter 43. What is necessary is just to be formed.

(Shape of the transverse inclined surface 78a)
The shape of the transversely inclined surface 78a may be formed such that a transverse line 86 recognized when it is cut along a plane (plane α in FIG. 10) along the rotational surface of the movable member 42 is linear. However, as shown in FIG. 10, the transverse line 86 may be formed in a curved shape. Further, the shape of the transverse inclined surface 78a is cut by a plane (plane β in FIG. 10) extending along the rotational radius direction R of the movable member 42 and extending along the thickness direction of the extended decorative portion 80 of the movable member 42. 10 may be formed so as to be substantially linear as shown in FIG. 10, or may be formed so that the vertical line 87 is curved.

(Inclined state of the transverse inclined surface 78a)
The inclined state of the transverse inclined surface 78a can be appropriately set as described above. However, as shown in FIG. 11A, the inclined state of the transverse inclined surface 78a is emitted from the normal line N of the transverse inclined surface 78a and the light emitter 43. It is preferable that the incident angle (η (degree)) defined as an angle formed by the traveling direction of the emitted light (L (in)) is larger than the total reflection angle (ηcr). In FIG. 11A, L (re) indicates reflected light, and Ncr and L (re) cr are each of the transverse inclined surfaces 78a when assuming a case where the incident angle is the total reflection angle. Normal and reflected light are shown.

  The normal line of the transverse inclined surface 78a is specified as follows according to the shape. In the case where the transverse inclined surface 78a is configured so that the vertical line 87 and the transverse line 86 described above are linear, in this case, the transverse inclined surface 78a is a plane as shown in FIG. 11A. However, it is assumed that the normal line N of the transverse inclined surface 78a is the normal line of the plane. When the transverse inclined surface 78a is configured such that the transverse line 86 is curved and the longitudinal line 87 is linear, in this case, the transverse inclined surface 78a is as shown in the example of FIG. 11B. In this case, it is assumed that the normal line N of the transverse inclined surface 78a is the normal line of the tangent plane K at the position Po selected on the conical surface.

  In addition to the above, when the longitudinal line 87 of the transverse inclined surface 78a is curved, the same applies to the case where the transverse inclined surface 78a is a conical surface, regardless of whether the transverse line 86 is a straight line or a curved line. As shown, the normal line N of the transverse inclined surface 78a is the normal line of the tangent plane K at the position Po selected on the inclined surface. When the normal line of the transverse inclined surface 78a becomes the normal line of the tangent plane at the position selected on the inclined surface, the normal line of the transverse inclined surface 78a and the light emitter are used at any position on the transverse inclined surface 78a. More preferably, the incident angle η determined as the angle formed by the traveling direction of the emitted light is larger than the total reflection angle ηcr.

  The transverse inclined surface 78a constituting the inclined surface portion 78 is preferably formed of an inclined surface of one kind of inclined state in terms of effectively suppressing unevenness in luminance of reflected light, but is not limited thereto. That is, the inclined surface portion 78 may be formed by connecting a plurality of types of transverse inclined surfaces 78a having different inclination states to form a transverse inclined surface group, and the plurality of types of inclined surfaces 78a are slightly spaced apart. They may be formed side by side to form a group of inclined planes across. Specifically, the inclined surface portion 78 may be formed of a plurality of types of transversely inclined surfaces 78a that are formed in a flat shape and have different normal directions, and are formed in a curved shape excluding a conical surface. Two or more types selected from the group consisting of the surface 78a, a transverse inclined surface 78a formed in a conical shape, and a transverse inclined surface 78a formed in a planar shape may be appropriately combined.

(Direction of the transverse slope 78a)
In the inclined surface portion 78, the direction of the transverse inclined surface 78a is not particularly limited, but the orientation of the transverse inclined surface 78a is determined so that the traveling direction of the reflected light is directed to the front side of the movable member 42. Is preferred. In this case, since the reflected light can be directed directly to the front side of the gaming machine 1, the inclined surface portion 78 has a higher brightness than when the light is directed to the front side of the gaming machine 1 by secondary reflection or tertiary reflection. It is easy to form a lighted state. In this case, in the inclined surface portion 78, an inclined surface is formed by cutting out from the front surface to the back surface of the movable member 42 in a tapered shape to form a transversely inclined surface 78a.

  In the inclined surface part 78, when the direction of the transverse inclined surface 78a is such that the traveling direction of the reflected light is directed to the rear surface side (base member 41 side) of the movable member 42, the rear side of the transverse inclined surface 78a. It is preferable to arrange a reflecting plate or the like so that the traveling direction of the reflected light is directed to the front side of the movable member 42.

(Processing of the transverse inclined surface 78a)
The transversal inclined surface 78a may be subjected to a processing for attaching a reflective film to the transversal inclined surface 78a in order to more reliably and effectively form the reflected light of the light incident thereon. As the reflective film, for example, a metal film such as a silver film can be employed.

(Formation position of the inclined surface portion 78)
As described above, the inclined surface portion 78 may be formed at an appropriate position of the movable member 42. However, as shown in FIGS. 7, 9, etc., the inclined surface portion 78 is formed at least on the far end edge portion 91 described later. Is preferred. At this time, an inclined surface 78 a is formed across at least a part of the far end edge 91 of the movable member 42 to form the inclined surface 78. Here, as described above, the transverse inclined surface 78 a intersects at least a part of the optical path of the light emitted from the light emitter 43 according to the rotation of the movable member 42, and thus is formed at the far end edge 91. At least a part of the light emitted from the light emitter 43 also intersects the transverse inclined surface 78a. Then, at least a part of the crossed light is reflected by the transverse inclined surface 78a of the inclined surface portion 78, and becomes reflected light toward the front side of the gaming machine 1. The reflected light formed by the transverse inclined surface 78a formed at the far end edge portion 91 is formed in a state of being shined at a position farther from the rotation axis Rm of the movable member 42, and the movable member 42 at the time of playing the game. When the player rotates, it is possible to shine a wider range for the player, and it is possible to realize a more impactful game effect.

(Far end edge 91)
The far end edge portion 91 is a predetermined portion along the outer edge of the movable member 42 and is a portion formed by a portion including the far end position F farthest from the rotation axis Rm of the movable member 42 in the movable member 42. . In the example of FIGS. 7 and 9, the far end position F of the movable member 42 is located at the outer peripheral edge portion of the extending portion 85 that extends from the first fan-shaped portion 84 a of the outer decorative portion 80. The far end edge portion 91 is specified as the outer peripheral edge portion of the extending portion 85 in the surface portion 83 formed on the outer decorative portion 80. In the case where the extending portion 85 is not formed, the far end edge portion 91 becomes the outer end edge portion of the first fan-shaped portion 84a of the extended decorative portion 80, and the fan-shaped portion 84 has only one type. In addition, the far end edge portion 91 becomes an outer end edge portion of the fan-shaped portion 84.

  In addition, when the movable member 42 forms the inclined surface part 78 at least in the far end edge part 91, it is suitable for the extension part 85 to be formed as shown in FIG. 7, FIG. In this case, the inclined surface portion 78 is formed at least on the outer peripheral edge of the extending portion 85. By the way, in the example of FIG. 9 etc., as described above, the extending portion 85 protrudes while exhibiting a smooth contour shape toward the far end position F, and the curvature at the far end position F of the far end edge portion 91. The radius LB (the curvature center Q of the curvature circle) is smaller than the distance LA from the rotation axis R of the movable member to the far end position F. When the movable member 42 is provided with the inclined surface portion 78 at the far end edge portion 91 defined in the extending portion 85, the movable member 42 is movable when the movable member 42 is rotated at a high speed during the performance of the game. It is possible to give the player a feeling that a thicker ring-shaped portion is formed on the outer peripheral end of the decorative body 40 than when the extending portion 85 is not formed on the member 42.

  In addition, when the inclined surface part 78 is formed in the far end edge part 91, it may be formed only in the far end edge part 91, and other predetermined positions except not only the far end edge part 91 but the far end edge part 91. May also be formed. Specifically, in the movable member 42 shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 9, etc., the transverse inclined surface 78a constituting the inclined surface portion 78 is not only the edge edge portion 91 but also outside the second fan-shaped portion 84b and the third fan-shaped portion 84b. It is also formed on the edge, and is formed along the outer edge of the surface portion 83 of the extended decorative portion 80.

(Decoration inclined surface 78b)
The inclined surface portion 78 is preferably formed by a transverse inclined surface 78a. However, if the inclined surface portion 78a has at least a part of the transverse inclined surface 78a as described above, the inclined surface portion 78 further includes a decorative inclined surface 78b. May be. The decorative inclined surface 78 b is an inclined surface that obliquely crosses the front-rear direction (thickness direction) of the movable member 42 and is formed as an inclined surface that extends along the rotational radius direction R of the movable member 42. The decorative inclined surface 78b may be formed at an appropriate position of the movable member 42. For example, the decorative inclined surface 78b may be formed at a predetermined position on the outer peripheral contour of the extended decorative portion 80 or may be formed inside the extended decorative portion 80.

  The decorative inclined surface 78 b is formed by cutting a predetermined portion of the movable member 42 obliquely along the rotational radius direction R of the movable member 42 and in the front-rear direction (thickness direction) of the movable member 42.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7, 9, etc., the decorative inclined surface 78 b has a first fan-shaped portion 84 a, a second fan-shaped portion 84 b, and a third fan-shaped portion 84 c in the outer peripheral contour of the surface portion 83 of the extended decorative portion 80. The first fan-shaped portion 84a, the second fan-shaped portion 84b, and the third fan-shaped portion of the extended decorative portion 80 along the side end edge of the side end edge of the movable member 42 in the direction of the rotational radius of A predetermined portion of the portion 84c may be cut out obliquely (obliquely with respect to the thickness direction of the movable member 42). In the case of this example, the inclined surface portion 78 is configured by forming the transverse inclined surface 78 a and the decorative inclined surface 78 b so as to be alternately arranged along the outer contour of the extended decorative portion 80.

  As shown in FIG. 14A and the like, the light emitting body 43 faces the light emitting surface 43a so that the light emitted from the light emitting body 43 is directed outward along the rotational radial direction R of the movable member 42 in the rear view of the movable member 42. When arranged on the substrate 44, almost no light emitted from the light emitter 43 in response to the rotation of the movable member 42 reaches the decorative inclined surface 78 b, and part of the light generated from the light emitter 43. Diffracted light, scattered light, etc. that can occur in And the light which reached | attained the decoration inclined surface 78b is reflected there, and makes the reflected light which goes to the game machine 1 front. The reflected light formed by the decorative inclined surface 78b is likely to be weaker than the reflected light formed by the transverse inclined surface 78a. Therefore, a luminance difference is formed between the reflected light formed on the transverse inclined surface 78a and the reflected light formed on the decorative inclined surface 78b as light having lower luminance than the reflected light as the light emission pattern of the movable member 42. A light emission pattern can be realized. However, this means that when the decorative inclined surface 78b is formed on the movable member 42, as shown in FIG. It is not prohibited to place the light emitting surface 43a on the substrate 44 so as to be directed outward with a predetermined angle with respect to the direction R.

(Light diffusion structure 89)
Note that the movable member 42 may be provided with a light diffusion structure 89. The light diffusion structure 89 is a structure for diffusing light, and is formed in front of the inclined surface portion 78 to diffuse the reflected light formed by the inclined surface portion 78. 7 and 9, the light diffusion structure 89 is formed on the front side of the inclined surface portion 78 on the front surface of the extended decorative portion 80. The light diffusing structure 89 can be appropriately selected as long as it has a structure for diffusing light. For example, the light diffusing structure 89 can be composed of a protruding small piece group in which a large number of protruding small pieces 90 are provided. Each protruding small piece 90 has an oval shape when viewed from the front side of the movable member 42. Since the light diffusing structure 89 is configured by such protruding pieces, the diffused light may be uniformly spread in all directions while the light diffusing structure 89 converts the reflected light into diffused light. It is suppressed.

  The light diffusion structure 89 may be provided only in front of the transverse inclined surface 78a of the inclined surface portion 78. When the inclined surface portion 78 includes the decorative inclined surface 78b, the front of the decorative inclined surface 78b. May also be provided.

(Assembly of the decorative body 40)
The decorative body 40 is assembled by attaching the movable member 42 to the base member 41 so that the movable member 42 is rotatably supported by the base member 41. At this time, the position of the light emitter 43 is aligned with the position of the base end 82 of the extended decorative portion 80 of the movable member 42 in the front-rear direction of the decorative body 40, and the light emitting surface 43 a of the light emitter 43 faces the base end 82. It is like that.

(Light emission mechanism of movable member 42)
In the decorative body 40, the light emitting surface 43 a of the light emitting body 43 faces the base end 82. In response to the rotation of the movable member 42, the light emitted from the light emitter 43 travels toward the base end 82 of the extended decorative portion 80. Here, the outer decorative portion 80 of the movable member 42 is light transmissive, so that the light reaching the base end 82 enters the outer decorative portion 80. Further, in the movable member 42, at least a part of the light path intersects with the inclined surface part 78, so that at least a part of the light emitted from the light emitter 43 and entering the inside of the extended decorative part 80 is the extended decorative part. It is guided from the position of the base end 82 of the part 80 to the position of the inclined surface part 78. That is, the path of at least a part of the light emitted from the light emitter 43 reaches the inclined surface portion 78 from the base end 82 of the extended decorative portion 80 through the inside of the extended decorative portion 80 according to the rotation of the movable member 42. It is a course like this.

  When a part of the light emitted from the light emitter 43 reaches the inclined surface portion 78 in this way, at least a part of the light is reflected by the transverse inclined surface 78a of the inclined surface portion 78 and becomes reflected light. Then, the reflected light travels toward the outside of the decorative body 40, and it is possible to form a light emission pattern in which the portion of the movable member 42 of the decorative body 40 where the reflected light is formed is shining. Become. Then, by rotating the movable member 42, an annular light locus is formed by the afterimage of the reflected light, and a light emission pattern that can give the player a feeling as if it is shining in an annular shape is realized. be able to. Moreover, since the light emission pattern can be controlled in various ways according to the rotational speed of the movable member 42, it becomes easy for the player to provide a novel light emission pattern as appropriate.

  In this way, since the light emission pattern as described above can be newly realized as the light emission pattern constituting the light emission effect in the gaming machine, the decoration body 40 that can realize a new decoration mode in the gaming machine is provided. The gaming machine 1 having the movable decoration device 18 can be obtained.

  In the decorative body 40, the electronic components such as the light emitting body 43 that emits light for forming reflected light from the inclined surface portion 78 are provided on the substrate 44 accommodated in the base member 41. The need to rotate itself is reduced. Moreover, in the decorative body 40, since it is not necessary to rotate the board | substrate 44 itself provided with the light-emitting body 43 using electromagnetic induction etc., the increase in the number of installation of an electronic component is also suppressed, and the structure Complexity is also suppressed.

(Other uses of decorative body 40)
As for the usage form of the decorative body 40 of the gaming machine 1 having the movable decorative device 18, as described above, the decorative body 40 is preferably used as a member constituting the movable decorative device 18. Not only the decorative body 40 but also the front decoration member 14 attached to a predetermined position of the game board 3 excluding the movable decoration device 18 can be used.

  The present invention is useful in applications that improve the performance of gaming machines.
