  The random number circuit 60 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on a display result of variable symbol special display. The random number circuit 60 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and starts at a random timing Based on the fact that the winning time is the reading (extraction) of the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 60 is configured to select a numeric data update range selection setting function (initial value selection setting function and upper limit selection selection function), numeric data update rule selection setting function, and numeric data update rule selection. It has various functions such as a switching function. With such a function, the randomness of the generated random numbers can be improved.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 156 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 60. For example, a predetermined calculation is performed using an ID number of the game control microcomputer 156 stored in a predetermined storage area such as the ROM 54 (an ID number assigned with a different value for each product of the game control microcomputer 156).

  In the lamp driver board 35, a signal for driving the LED is input to the LED driver via an input driver (not shown). The LED driver supplies a drive signal to each LED provided on the frame side such as the top frame LED 28a, the left frame LED 28b, the right frame LED 28c, and the decoration LED 25a provided on the game board side. When a light emitter other than the LED is provided, a drive circuit (driver) for driving the light emitter is mounted on the lamp driver substrate 35.

  In the voice control board 70, the sound number data is input to a voice synthesis IC (not shown) via an input driver (not shown). The voice synthesizing IC generates voice and sound effects corresponding to the sound number data and outputs them to an amplifier circuit (not shown). The amplifier circuit outputs to the speaker 27 an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the voice synthesis IC to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume. Control data corresponding to sound number data is stored in a sound data ROM (not shown). The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data showing the output form of the sound effect or sound in a time series in a predetermined period (for example, the changing period of the effect design).

The intermediate gears 365a and 365b are engaged with the lower rack gears 351a and 351b by inserting the shaft members 340a and 340b into the bearing holes 364a and 364b.

  Therefore, the second movable decorative bases 362a and 362b are moved by the lower rack gears 351a and 351b, so that the shaft members 340a and 340b facing in the front-rear direction via the intermediate gears 365a and 365b meshed with the lower rack gears 351a and 351b. Rotate around the center.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, the movable unit 302 includes a rear elevating plate 330 that can be moved up and down on the front side of the base plate 320, and a front unit that can be moved up and down on the front side of the rear elevating plate 330. The elevating plate 331, an elevating gear member 332 provided on the front side of the front elevating plate 331 so as to be able to be raised and lowered, and a decoration unit 333 provided on the front side of the elevating gear member 332 are configured.

  In a state where the movable unit 302 is assembled on the front side of the base plate 320, the rack gears 323a and 346a are engaged with the intermediate pinion gear 336. Therefore, the swing arm 309 is moved up and down by the lifting motor 304, so that the base plate 320 is moved. The rear lifting plate 330 moves up and down. In response to this, the intermediate pinion gear 336 meshed with the fixed rack gear 323a rotates, and the front elevating plate 331 meshed with the intermediate pinion gear 336 via the rack gear 346a moves up and down with respect to the base plate 320.

  Further, the front elevating plate 331 and the elevating gear member 332 assembled on the front side thereof are connected by a coil spring 370. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9A, in a state where the elevating gear member 332 is assembled to the front side of the front elevating plate 331, the spring mounting portion 353 is inserted through the insertion groove 339 and the front elevating plate 331 is inserted. The upper end of the coil spring 370 is locked to the spring mounting portion 353 on the lifting gear member 332 side, and the lower end is locked to the spring mounting portion 345 of the front lifting plate 331. Yes.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9A, the tip of the spring mounting portion 353 inserted through the insertion groove 339 of the front elevating plate 331 is inserted into the guide groove 334 of the rear elevating plate 330, thereby The raising / lowering range with respect to the board 330 is regulated.

  The elevating gear member 332 is located at the lower front portion of the front elevating plate 331 with respect to the front elevating plate 331, and the held pieces 352a and 352b are engaged with the holding portions 341a and 341b of the front elevating plate 331, It is provided so that it can be moved up and down between a lowered position (see FIG. 11) where movement and separation from the front lifting plate 331 are restricted, and a raised position (see FIG. 12 (c)) above the lowered position. . The coil spring 370 is provided so as to urge the elevating gear member 332 toward the lower position in the lowered position.

  Further, when the elevating gear member 332 is assembled to the front elevating plate 331, the upper rack gears 350a and 350b mesh with the transmission gears 337a and 337b, and the intermediate gears 365a and 365b of the second movable decorative bases 362a and 362b. Lower rack gears 351a and 351b mesh.

  Therefore, when the elevating gear member 332 moves up and down between the lowered position and the raised position, the upper rack gears 350a and 350b move up and down, and thereby the intermediate gear 363b rotates via the transmission gears 337a and 337b. The movable decorative bases 361a and 361b rotate around the shaft portion 363a and the lower rack gears 351a and 351b move up and down, whereby the intermediate gears 365a and 365b rotate. Therefore, the second movable decorative bases 362a and 362b are pivoted. It rotates around the members 340a and 340b (see FIG. 4B).

  Next, the operation state of the movable unit 302 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  The movable unit 302 has a retracted position (see FIG. 4A) located on the front side of the base plate 320, and an effect position (see FIG. 4A) that is lowered from the retracted position and is superimposed on the front side of the effect display device 9. 4 (see FIG. 4 (b)).

  In the retracted position, the elevating gear member 332 is disposed at a lowered position with respect to the front elevating plate 331, and the spring mounting portion 353 is located slightly below the upper end of the guide groove 334 (see FIG. 12A).

  Here, when the drive disk 306 is rotated by the lift motor 304 and the swing arm 309 swings downward about the swing shaft 308, the rear lift plate 330 is lowered with respect to the base plate 320. In response to this, the intermediate pinion gear 336 meshing with the fixed rack gear 323a rotates in a predetermined direction, whereby the front elevating plate 331 meshing with the intermediate pinion gear 336 via the rack gear 346a is lowered with respect to the base plate 320.

  At this time, the intermediate pinion gear 336 descends while rotating, so that the front elevating plate 331 descends faster than the rear elevating plate 330. That is, since the lowering stroke amount of the front lifting plate 331 relative to the base plate 320 is larger than the lowering stroke amount of the rear lifting plate 330 relative to the base plate 320, the front lifting plate 331 passes the rear lifting plate 330 during the lowering. It will be.

  Then, the spring mounting portion 353 of the elevating gear member 332 that has been lowered together with the front elevating plate 331 while being in the lowered position with respect to the front elevating plate 331 descends the guide groove 334 and contacts the lower end of the guide groove 334. When in contact, the lowering of the spring mounting portion 353 with respect to the rear lifting plate 330 is restricted (see FIG. 12B).

  Therefore, although the rear elevating plate 330 continues to descend, the front elevating plate 331 passes over the rear elevating plate 330 and descends, so that the lower elevating gear member 332 is controlled to move downward relative to the rear elevating plate 330. The front elevating plate 331 moves relatively downward (see FIG. 12C).

  As a result, the transmission gears 337a and 337b and the intermediate gears 365a and 365b move downward relative to the upper rack gears 350a and 350b and the lower rack gears 351a and 351b, so that the left and right first movable decorations are transmitted via the transmission gears 337a and 337b. The bases 361a and 361b rotate upward about the shaft portion 363a, and the second movable decorative bases 362a and 362b on the left and right are directed downward about the shaft members 340a and 340b via the intermediate gears 365a and 365b. Rotate.

  As described above, the movable unit 302 is lowered without rotating the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b and the second movable decorative bases 362a and 362b from the retracted position to the predetermined position, and while being lowered from the predetermined position to the effect position. In addition, the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b and the second movable decorative bases 362a and 362b are rotated using the descending force.

  Therefore, the movement of the movable unit 302 becomes more complex and interesting as compared to the case where the predetermined decoration part moves up and down without moving from the retracted position to the effect position, and the decoration part gradually moves from the start of the descent. Rather than starting, the decorative part starts moving in the middle of the descent, so that not only can the movement be changed, but also the front side of the effect display device 9 that is lowered to some extent from the retracted position and is easily visible to the player Since the decoration part moves when reaching the position, it becomes easier for the player to recognize the change of the aspect.

  Further, when returning from the production position to the retracted position, the detailed movement will be omitted because the movement is opposite to that at the time of lowering, but when raising from the production position, the elevating gear member 332 is urged downward by the coil spring 370. Thus, until the front elevating plate 331 returns to the lowered position, it is maintained in a stopped state with respect to the rear elevating plate 330, so that the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b and the second movable decorative base are started as the ascent starts. 362a and 362b are returned to their original rotational positions.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 13 to FIG. 15, an assembly state of the front lifting plate 331 and the lifting gear member 332 and an assembly state of the first movable decoration bases 361a and 361b and the second movable decoration bases 362a and 362b will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when assembling the elevating gear member 332 on the front side of the front elevating plate 331, first, the spring mounting portion 353 is inserted into the insertion groove 339 from the front side of the front elevating plate 331, The back surface of the elevating gear member 332 is brought into contact with the front surface of 331.

  At this time, the elevating gear member 332 is disposed so that the vertical plate portion 332b is sandwiched between a pair of left and right mounting bosses 367 and 367 projecting from the front surface of the front elevating plate 331, thereby elevating the front elevating plate 331. The rough positioning of the gear member 332 can be easily performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the coil spring 370 is bridged between the spring mounting portion 353 and the spring mounting portion 345 that protrude from the insertion groove 339 to the back side in the state of contact.

  Here, since the coil spring 370 is a tension spring, an urging force is generated downward when the elevating gear member 332 is disposed at the lowered position with respect to the front elevating plate 331. Therefore, when the elevating gear member 332 is free with respect to the front elevating plate 331, when the coil spring 370 is bridged in a state where the urging force of the coil spring 370 is applied in this way, the elevating gear member with respect to the front elevating plate 331 is provided. Since 332 moves, it is difficult to attach. Therefore, in this embodiment, the elevating gear member 332 can be held at the lower position by the holding portions 341a and 341b formed on the front elevating plate 331.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, the holding portions 341a and 341b are provided with a first restricting portion 341c that protrudes substantially horizontally from the front surface of the front elevating plate 331 to the front, and upward from the tip of the first restricting portion 341c. The second restricting portion 341d is formed to be bent substantially vertically toward the side, and is formed in an L shape (hook shape) substantially upward in a side view.

  That is, the first restricting portion 341c is a restricting portion that contacts the lower ends of the held pieces 352a and 352b of the lift gear member 332 in the lowered position and restricts the downward movement, and the second restricting portion 341d is the lowered In the position, the elevating gear member 332 is a restricting portion that abuts against the front surfaces of the held pieces 352a and 352b and restricts the forward movement, that is, the movement (detachment) in the direction away from the front surface of the front elevating plate 331.

  Therefore, when the coil spring 370 is bridged between the spring mounting portion 353 and the spring mounting portion 345 with the urging force of the coil spring 370 applied, the elevating gear member 332 can be held in the lowered position with respect to the front elevating plate 331. Therefore, the coil spring 370 can be easily attached.

  Next, the assembly state of the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b and the second movable decorative bases 362a and 362b with respect to the front lifting plate 331 to which the lifting gear member 332 is assembled will be described with reference to FIG.

  When assembling the first movable decorative base 361a, 361b and the second movable decorative base 362a, 362b to the front lifting plate 331 with the lift gear member 332 assembled thereto, the first movable decorative base 361a, 361b and the second movable decorative base are assembled. The intermediate gear 363b is engaged with the upper rack gears 350a and 350b via the transmission gears 337a and 337b, and the intermediate gear 365a is engaged with the lower rack gears 351a and 351b so that the bases 362a and 362b are respectively disposed at the initial positions. It is necessary to let

  Here, a positioning hole 380 is formed in the vicinity of the bearings 338a and 338b in the front elevating plate 331, a positioning hole 381 is formed at a predetermined peripheral edge of the transmission gears 337a and 337b, and the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b are formed. Positioning holes 382 are formed at predetermined locations. Therefore, when assembling the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b, the positioning holes 382, 381, and 380 are arranged so that the axes of the positioning holes 382, 381, and 380 coincide with each other, and a predetermined jig (for example, By inserting the rod-like member 383, the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b can be assembled to the front elevating plate 331 in a predetermined direction.

The transmission gears 337a and 337b and the upper rack gears 350a and 350b are engraved with positioning marks M1, and the intermediate gears 365a and 365b and the lower rack gears 351a and 351b are also engraved with positioning marks M2. By assembling so that the positioning marks M1 and M2 are aligned, it is possible to prevent assembly in the wrong direction and to confirm the assembly position visually.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention, in the assembly step of movably assembling the lifting gear member 332 as the moving portion to the front lifting plate 331 as the base portion, When the elevating gear member 332 is held by the holding portions 341a and 341b at the lowered position as the first position, the elevating force of the coil spring 370 as the urging member causes the elevating gear member 332 to move further from the lowered position to the coil spring 370. Since it does not move in the urging direction or move away from the front elevating plate 331, the coil spring 370 moves with the spring mounting portion 345 as the base side mounting portion even when the urging force is applied. It can be easily bridged to the spring mounting portion 353 as the side mounting portion.

  Further, since the left and right sides of the spring mounting portion 353 to which the urging force of the coil spring 370 is applied are locked to the holding portions 341a and 341b, the elevating gear member 332 can be stably held at the lowered position.

  The elevating gear member 332 is disposed on the front side of the front elevating plate 331, and the spring mounting portion 345 and the spring mounting portion 353 are disposed on the rear side of the elevating gear member 332, so that the front elevating plate Since the coil spring 370 is disposed on the back side of the 331, the front lifting plate 331 and the lifting gear member 332 can be disposed as close as possible.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 14 (c), with the spring mounting portion 345 as a fulcrum, the tip of the spring mounting portion 353 projecting from the upper back of the lifting gear member 332 is biased downward, Since the elevating gear member 332 is less likely to be separated from the front elevating plate 331 than when the coil spring 370 is disposed on the front side, stability during elevating is improved.

  In this embodiment, the coil spring 370 is bridged over the spring mounting portions 345 and 353 on the back side of the front lifting plate 331 as the base portion, but the spring mounting portion on the front side of the front lifting plate 331. You may make it bridge over 345,353.

  In addition, since the held pieces 352a and 352b held by the holding portions 341a and 341b in the elevating gear member 332 are configured by plate-like members, the holding portions 341a and 341b are made larger forward from the front elevating plate 331. It can be held without protruding.

  In addition, first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b are provided as interlocking operation parts that operate in conjunction with the movement of the elevating gear member 332, and the elevating gear member 332 rises from the lowered position and is held by the held pieces 352a and 352b. After deviating from the parts 341a and 341b, the back of the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b is always arranged so as to overlap the front side while moving to the raised position, and moves in a direction away from the front lifting plate 331. Are now regulated.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 12B and 12C, while moving from the lowered position to the raised position, a part of the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b is located in the halftone dot region indicating the lifting gear member 332. Since they are always superposed, the elevating gear member 332 can move stably even after rising from the lowered position and deviating from the holding portions 341a and 341b.

  In the embodiment, the first movable decorative bases 361a and 361b that rotate about the axis facing the front-rear direction are applied as the interlocking operation unit that operates in conjunction with the movement of the elevating gear member 332. As long as it operates in conjunction with the movement of the elevating gear member 332, it is not limited to rotation, and may be oscillated or linearly moved.

  The front elevating plate 331 is provided with a pair of left and right mounting bosses 367 and 367 for attaching a fixed decorative base 360 as a decorative member so as to sandwich the vertical plate portion 332b of the elevating gear member 332 from the left and right sides. Accordingly, the attachment position of the fixed decorative base 360 can be easily determined, and the elevating gear member 332 can be easily positioned.

  In addition, the movable unit 302 is provided so as to be movable up and down with respect to the base plate 320 as a predetermined mounting portion, and the tip of the spring mounting portion 353 provided in the lifting gear member 332 corresponds to the lifting and lowering of the movable unit 302. By engaging the lower end of a guide groove 334 as an engaged portion provided in the rear lifting plate 330 which is a member on the front lifting plate 331 side, the lifting gear member 332 moves relative to the front lifting plate 331. As the movable unit 302 moves up and down relative to the base plate 320, the tip of the spring mounting portion 353 engages with the lower end of the guide groove 334, and the lifting gear member 332 moves relative to the front lifting plate 331. The elevating gear member 332 can be moved relative to the front elevating plate 331 using the elevating operation of the movable unit 302 with respect to 320.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the front raising / lowering board 331 as a base part was a movable member provided so that raising / lowering was possible with respect to the base board 320, it is a fixed member fixedly installed in the predetermined location of a game machine. Also good.

  The elevating gear member 332 is provided so as to be linearly reciprocable in the vertical direction with respect to the front elevating plate 331. is there. Furthermore, the moving part may not be provided so as to be capable of linear reciprocation with respect to the base part. For example, the moving part may be provided so as to be rotatable or swingable between the first position and the second position. Good.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the tension coil spring was applied as an example of an urging member, if it can urge | bias a moving part toward a 1st position, spring members other than a coil spring, rubber materials, etc. It may be.

  In the embodiment, the upward hook-shaped holding portions 341a and 341b having the first restricting portion 341c and the second restricting portion 341d are applied as an example of the holding means. However, the first restricting portion and the second restricting portion are used. The holding part 1341 is not limited to the holding part formed integrally with the part, for example, like a front lifting plate 331 ′ and a lifting gear member 332 ′ as a modification shown in FIG. An upward hook-shaped first restricting portion 1341c that is provided at the lower end of the insertion groove 339 and restricts the elevation gear member 332 ′ from descending from the ascending position side to the descending position side, and an elevation gear member that is provided on the left and right sides of the insertion groove 339. It may be configured by a pair of left and right second restricting portions 1341d and 1341d having an inward hook shape that restricts the movement of 332 ′ in the direction away from the front lifting plate 331 ′. That is, the 1st control part 1341c and the 2nd control part 1341d which comprise the holding | maintenance part 1341 may be formed separately.

  In this case, the elevating gear member 332 'is formed with a notch groove 1345 for inserting the second restricting portions 1341d and 1341d. Therefore, the lower part of the notch groove 1345 is lowered in a state of being inserted in accordance with the second restricting parts 1341d and 1341d, so that it can be disposed at a lower position with respect to the front surface of the front lifting plate 331 '. Moreover, since the raising / lowering is guided by the second restricting portions 1341d and 1341d, stability is improved.

  Next, the structure of the second effect device 400 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing the internal structure of the second effect device. FIG. 18A is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the internal structure of the second effect device is viewed obliquely from the front, and FIG. 18B is a cross-sectional view showing the structure around the drive gear.

FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram illustrating an operation state of the second effect device. In the following description, the vertical and horizontal directions will be described with reference to the state facing the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  The second effect device 400 is, for example, between the game board 6 and the effect display device 9 arranged with a predetermined gap on the back side of a see-through hole (not shown) formed in the game board 6. It is arrange | positioned in the downward position of this see-through hole (refer FIG. 1).

  As shown in FIGS. 17 to 20, the second rendering device 400 includes a case member 401, a cover member 402, and an internal unit 403 disposed between the case member 401 and the cover member 402. Configured. When the case member 401 and the cover member 402 are assembled, the upper surface is formed in a box shape, and a movable body to be described later appears and disappears from the upper surface opening.

  The internal unit 403 includes a base member 404 fixed to the case member 401, first movable members 405 a and 405 b provided so as to be rotatable around a rotation shaft 406 facing the base member 404 in the front-rear direction, Second movable members 407a and 407b that are disposed on the front side of the first movable members 405a and 405b and that are pivotable about a pivot shaft 408 that faces the cover member 402 in the front-rear direction, and these first movable members A driving motor 409 for driving 405a, 405b and the second movable members 407a, 407b, and a driving force transmission mechanism for transmitting the driving force of the driving motor 409 to the first movable members 405a, 405b and the second movable members 407a, 407b. , Mainly composed of.

  A semicircular first driven gear 411 is meshed with the drive gear 410 fixed to the tip of the drive shaft 409a of the drive motor 409. The first driven gear 411 is fixed to the front end of a shaft member 412 that is pivotally supported with respect to the base member 404 and faces in the front-rear direction. The second driven gear 413 is attached to the rear end of the shaft member 412. Is fixed.

  The base member 404 is rotatably supported by a third driven gear 414 that meshes with the second driven gear 413, and the pair of left and right rotating shafts 406 mesh with the third driven gear 414. The fourth driven gear 415 and the fifth driven gear 416 meshing with the fourth driven gear 415 are fixed.

  On the other hand, a pinion gear 420 is fixed to the front surface of the first driven gear 411, and the pinion gear 420 is formed on a first interlocking member 430 that is supported on the back surface of the cover member 402 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. The rack gear 431 is engaged. The interlocking member 430 is biased toward the right side by a coil spring 435 whose one end is locked to the cover member 402.

  Also, second rack gears 432a and 432b are formed on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the interlocking member 430. The left second rack gear 432a meshes with an arcuate gear 433a fixed to the second movable member 407a, and the right second rack gear 432b meshes with an arcuate gear 433b fixed to the second movable member 407b. Intermediate gear 434 is engaged.

  Next, the operation state of the second effect device 400 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 20A, when the first movable members 405a and 405b and the second movable members 407a and 407b are in the retracted position where they are retracted inside the case member 401 and the cover member 402, the interlocking member 430 is The biasing force of the coil spring 435 is applied to the left side against the biasing force of the coil spring 435, but the biasing force is smaller than the weight of the first movable members 405a and 405b and the second movable members 407a and 407b. The coil spring 435 is maintained at the left position without moving to the right side by the biasing force of the coil spring 435.

  Here, when the drive gear 410 is rotated by the drive motor 409, the drive force is transmitted to the first movable members 405 a and 405 b via the first to fifth driven gears 411 to 416, and the first about the rotation shaft 406. The movable members 405a and 405b rotate upward (see FIG. 20B).

  In addition, the pinion gear 420 is rotated clockwise together with the first driven gear 411, so that the interlocking member 430 is moved to the right via the first rack gear 431. As a result, the second movable member 407a rotates upward via the second rack gear 432a and the arcuate gear 433a, and the second movable member 407b via the second rack gear 432b, the intermediate gear 434, and the arcuate gear 433b. It rotates upward (see FIG. 20B).

  As described above, the plurality of movable members 405a, 405b, 407a, and 407b can be simultaneously rotated by one drive motor 409, but the interlocking member 430 moves the plurality of movable members 405a, 405b, 407a, and 407b upward. Since it is urged by the coil spring 435 toward the moving direction when it is rotated, the load on the drive motor 409 is reduced.

  In addition, a pair of left and right ribs 440 are arranged in parallel at the upper position of the coil spring 435 on the back surface of the cover member 402, so that the game ball from the upper surface opening contacts or rides on the coil spring 435, so that the movable member 405a. , 405b, 407a, and 407b are prevented from hindering the movement.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18B, a convex portion 450 disposed in the vicinity of the hole 410 a formed at the tip of the drive gear 410 is located at the corresponding position of the drive gear 410 on the back surface of the cover member 402. By projecting, even if the drive gear 410 is likely to come off from the drive shaft 409a of the drive motor 409 due to long-term use, it is abutted against the convex portion 450 and completely deviates from the drive shaft 409a. It is prevented.

A lens member 502 having a dome shape formed along the front surface of the lens member 502 provided at the tip of a first rotating cylinder 503 facing the front-rear direction pivotally supported at the center of the lens member 502. Of the first decorative portion 504 and the front end of a second rotating shaft 505 facing in the front-rear direction supported rotatably inside the first rotating cylinder 503 around the axis. It mainly comprises a dome-shaped second decorative portion 506 formed along the front surface, and a drive unit 507 for rotationally driving the first decorative portion 504 and the second decorative portion 506.

  An LED substrate (not shown) provided with a plurality of LEDs is provided on the front surface of the base portion 501, and the first decorative portion 504 and the second decorative portion 506 are made of a translucent member. As a result, the light of the plurality of LEDs is irradiated to the first decorative portion 504 and the second decorative portion 506 through the lens member 502.

  Further, the drive unit 507 provided in the base portion 501 has a first gear 503a and a second rotation fixed to the first rotation cylinder 503, with the first rotation cylinder 503 and the second rotation shaft 505 being inserted. The second gear 505a fixed to the shaft 505 is connected to a drive shaft of a drive motor (not shown) via a plurality of gears. Here, the first rotating cylinder 503 and the second rotating shaft 505 are connected so as to rotate in opposite directions by a drive motor (not shown).

  As described above, a plurality of (here, two) first decorative portions 504 and second decorative portions 506 that are concentric with each other are arranged at different positions in the axial direction (front-rear direction). The second rotating shaft 505 disposed inside the cylinder 503 is longer than the first rotating cylinder 503, and the second decorative portion 506 provided at one end thereof has an outer shape and weight more than the first decorative portion 504. The first gear 503a provided at the other end is smaller and has an outer diameter smaller than that of the second gear 505a.

  In other words, the first decorative portion 504 is provided in the first rotating cylinder 503 that is rotatably supported with respect to the lens member 502 that forms a part of the base portion 501, whereas the second decorative portion 504 is provided. 506 is provided not only on the second rotating shaft 505 supported so as to be indirectly rotatable with respect to the lens member 502 via the first rotating cylinder 503 but also has an outer diameter of the first gear 503a. By being smaller than the second gear 505a, it rotates at a higher speed than the first decorative portion 504.

  Therefore, when the second decorative portion 506 is rotated at the tip end side of the axial center of the first decorative portion 504 and at a high speed, the second decorative portion 506 can be stably formed if it is smaller and lighter than the first decorative portion 504. It becomes possible to support.
