The lower bent piece 111B is pressed against the lower bent piece 411B of the intermediate member 410 from above (FIG. 9A). The force with which the first tension spring 421 presses the intermediate member 410 against the slider 403 is the same as the force with which the second tension spring 422 presses the intermediate member 410 against the movable base 110.

  As shown in the change from FIG. 9B to FIG. 10B, when the slider 403 moves upward by being driven by the motor 401 (FIG. 6), the power of the slider 403 causes the first tension spring 421 to move. To the intermediate member 410, and the intermediate member 410 moves upward. At this time, the lower bent piece 411B of the intermediate member 410 pushes up the lower bent piece 111B of the movable base 110, and the movable base 110 moves upward. At this time, the length of the first tension spring 421 that connects the slider 403 and the intermediate member 410 does not change. Further, as shown in the change from FIG. 9A to FIG. 10A, the length of the second tension spring 422 connecting the movable base 110 and the intermediate member 410 does not change.

  13 to 14 show an outline of the operation of the drive mechanism 400 when the first movable member 100 is moved from the first end position to the first start position by driving the motor 401. As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, in the state where the first movable member 100 is disposed at the first terminal position, the slider 403 is disposed at the upper end position of the movable stroke. At this time, the upper bent piece 411A of the intermediate member 410 is pressed against the slider 403 from below by the biasing force of the first tension spring 421 (FIG. 13B), and the movable base 110 is pressed by the biasing force of the second tension spring 422. The lower bent piece 111B is pressed against the lower bent piece 411B of the intermediate member 410 from above (FIG. 13A). The force with which the first tension spring 421 presses the intermediate member 410 against the slider 403 is the same as the force with which the second tension spring 422 presses the intermediate member 410 against the movable base 110.

  As shown in the change from FIG. 13B to FIG. 14B, when the slider 403 moves downward as driven by the motor 401 (FIG. 6), the upper bent piece 411A is pushed down by the slider 403. Then, the intermediate member 410 moves downward (FIG. 14B). At this time, the power of the intermediate member 410 is transmitted through the second tension spring 422, and the movable base 110 moves downward (FIG. 14A). Note that the length of the first tension spring 421 connecting the slider 403 and the intermediate member 410 does not change. Further, as shown in the change from FIG. 13A to FIG. 14A, the length of the second tension spring 422 connecting the movable base 110 and the intermediate member 410 does not change.

  In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the first movable member 100 has a role as an operation member operated by a player as well as a role as a movable effect member that is movable by driving the motor 401 (FIG. 6). ing. In the example of the present embodiment, the “moving operation” for moving the first movable member 100 from the first start position to the first end position and the “pushing operation” for moving from the first end position to the first start position. Two types of operations are performed.

  Here, when the first movable member 100 is stopped, the position of the first movable member 100 is fixed by the excitation of the motor 401. Therefore, unless the excitation of the motor 401 is released, it becomes difficult to pull out and push in the first movable member 100. Therefore, in the present embodiment, an operation sensor 407 (FIG. 8) for detecting the operation of the first movable member 100 is provided, and the excitation of the motor 401 is released in response to the detection by the operation sensor 407. It has become.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the operation sensor 407 is configured by a proximity sensor and detects a detection protrusion 160 </ b> T (FIG. 20) formed on the first movable member 100. Specifically, a pair of operation sensors 407 are provided in the moving direction of the first movable member 100, and the lower operation sensor 407 has the first movable member 100 disposed at the first start position. Is detected, and the upper operation sensor 407 detects the detection protrusion 160T when the first movable member 100 is disposed at the first terminal position. Therefore, the lower operation sensor 407 can detect the initial movement of the first movable member 100 in the pull-out operation (that is, the movement of the first movable member 100 toward the first terminal position). When the lower operation sensor 407 detects, the excitation of the motor 401 is released. Further, the upper operation sensor 407 can detect the initial movement of the first movable member 100 in the pushing operation (that is, the movement of the first movable member 100 to the first starting end position side). When the upper operation sensor 407 detects, the excitation of the motor 401 is released.

  FIGS. 11 to 12 show an outline of the operation of the drive mechanism 400 during the pulling operation. Immediately after the first movable member 100 is pulled out, the operation sensor 407 (FIG. 8) does not detect the movement of the detection protrusion 160T (FIG. 20), and the motor 401 remains in the excited state. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the position of the slider 403 is fixed. On the other hand, the movable base 110 is allowed to move upward as the second tension spring 422 extends. That is, the first movable member 100 is allowed to move to the first terminal position side (upper side) even when the motor 401 is in an excited state. At this time, the intermediate member 410 is restricted from moving upward by the contact between the upper bent piece 411A and the slider 403.

  When the movement amount of the first movable member 100 increases and the movement of the detection protrusion 160T is detected by the operation sensor 407, the excitation of the motor 401 is released. Then, the upward movement of the slider 403 is permitted, and the upward movement of the intermediate member 410 is also permitted. Then, as shown in the change from FIG. 11A to FIG. 12A, the intermediate member 410 is moved upward by the biasing force of the second tension spring 422, and the slider 403 is pushed up by the intermediate member 410. It is done. As shown in the change from FIG. 11B to FIG. 12B, the length of the first tension spring 421 that connects the slider 403 and the intermediate member 410 does not change.

  15 to 16 show an outline of the operation of the drive mechanism 400 during the pushing operation. Immediately after the first movable member 100 is pushed, the operation sensor 407 (FIG. 8) does not detect the movement of the detection protrusion 160T (FIG. 20), and the motor 401 remains in an excited state. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the position of the slider 403 is fixed. On the other hand, the movable base 110 and the intermediate member 410 are allowed to move downward as the first tension spring 421 extends. That is, the first movable member 100 is allowed to move to the first starting end position side (downward) even when the motor 401 is in an excited state. At this time, the movable base 110 pushes down the intermediate member 410 when the lower bent piece 111B comes into contact with the lower bent piece 411B of the intermediate member 410 from above.

  When the movement amount of the first movable member 100 is increased and the movement of the detection protrusion 160T is detected by the operation sensor 407, the excitation of the motor 401 is released and the downward movement of the slider 403 is allowed. The Then, as shown in the change from FIG. 15B to FIG. 16B, the slider 403 moves downward by the biasing force of the first tension spring 421. As shown in the change from FIG. 15A to FIG. 16A, the length of the second tension spring 422 connecting the movable base 110 and the intermediate member 410 does not change.

  As described above, in the driving mechanism 400, the first tension spring 421 and the second tension spring 422 are interposed between the movable base 110 and the slider 403. The operation force is absorbed by the second tension spring 422 during the pulling operation, and the operation force is absorbed by the first tension spring 421 during the pushing operation. Here, when the operating force of the first movable member 100 is directly transmitted to the motor 401, a problem that the motor 401 is damaged may occur. However, in the driving mechanism 400, the operation force of the first movable member 100 is not directly transmitted to the motor 401 by the second tension spring 422 during the pulling operation, and the first movable member is not transmitted by the first tension spring 421 during the pushing operation. The operating force of 100 is not transmitted directly to the motor 401. Thereby, in this embodiment, the damage of the motor 401 in extraction operation and pushing-in operation is suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the drive mechanism 400 includes an assist spring 440 for assisting the pulling operation of the first movable member 100.
