The connector 137 is provided on the rear surface of the LED substrate (not shown) of the effect body 80, and engages with the connection terminal portion 85 exposed on the rear surface of the effect body 80.

  The third link member 140 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the third link member 140 extends between the distal end portion 141 and the proximal end portion 142 in a plate shape whose thickness direction is the front-rear direction. The proximal end 142 of the third link member 140 is formed in a disk shape. At the center of the proximal end portion 142, a screw hole 144 opened in the front-rear direction is formed. A washer 145 is disposed behind the proximal end 142. A screw 146 is inserted into the screw hole 144 and the washer 145 from the front side. The screw 146 is fastened to the decorative frame 14 directly or indirectly. The washer 145 is interposed between the proximal end 142 and the decoration frame 14 and between the screw 146 and the screw hole 144. The third link member 140 can be pivoted relative to the decorative frame 14 about the screw 146 by the proximal end 142 being supported by the screw 146 via the washer 145.

  In the following description, in a front view of the third link member 140, a direction connecting the center position in the width direction of the tip end portion 141 and the axial center position of the screw hole 144 of the base end portion 142 7)). The third link member 140 has an elongated hole 143 which penetrates in the front-rear direction and extends in the third extending direction from a substantially central position in the third extending direction to the tip end portion 141. In the long hole 143, flanged cylindrical washers 147 and 148 are disposed in alignment with the cylindrical hole from the front side and the rear side of the third link member 140, respectively. The screw 149 is inserted into the washers 147 and 148 from the rear side of the third link member 140. The screw 149 penetrates the inside of the elongated hole 143 in the front-rear direction through the washers 147 and 148 and is fastened to the third retaining hole 83 provided on the rear surface of the effect body 80. The washers 147 and 148 are interposed between the tip end portion 141 and the effect body 80 and between the screw 149 and the elongated hole 143. The third link member 140 can be rotated relative to the effect body 80 about the screw 149 by the tip end portion 141 being supported by the screw 149 via the washers 147 and 148. In addition, the third link member 140 can move in the third extending direction with respect to the effect body 80 by sliding the washers 147 and 148 in the long hole 143.

  The effect body 80 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the effect body 80 is a box-shaped plate-like body which is long in the left-right direction and whose thickness direction is the front-rear direction. The effect body 80 is formed of a transparent resin, and a concavo-convex decoration is provided on the front surface. Horizontal letters and symbols are shown on the front of the effect body 80. In the present embodiment, on the front of the effect body 80, letters and symbols of "dew!" Are formed by the concavo-convex decoration, and are shown in horizontal writing.

  Inside the effect body 80, an electric decoration substrate (not shown) and a diffusion plate (not shown) are provided. The electric decoration board mounts a plurality of LEDs on the front surface and mounts the connection terminal portion 85 on the rear surface. The electric decoration substrate has an outer shape that matches the shape of the effect body 80 in a front view, and is accommodated in the effect body 80. The connection terminal portion 85 is exposed on the rear surface of the effect body 80. The connector 137 (see FIG. 6) of the connection wire 135 is engaged with the connection terminal portion 85. The electric decoration substrate is connected to the effect substrate (not shown) via the relay substrate 76. The CPU of the effect substrate emits the LED of the electric decoration substrate according to a predetermined light emission pattern at the time of effect. The diffusion plate has an outer shape substantially the same as the shape of the electric decoration substrate, and is disposed in the effect body 80 on the front side of the electric decoration substrate. The diffusion plate diffuses the LED light emitted by the LED of the electric decoration substrate so that the intensity of the light is substantially uniform, and emits the light forward. The LED light diffused to the diffusion plate is irradiated to the front of the pachinko machine 1 through the front surface of the effect body 80.

  As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, on the rear surface of the effect body 80, a first retaining hole 81, a second retaining hole 82, a third retaining hole 83, and a retaining portion 84 are provided. The first fastening hole 81 is provided at the left end of the rear surface of the effect body 80 (see FIG. 7). The second fastening hole 82 is provided at a position to the right of and below the first fastening hole 81. The positional relationship between the position of the first retaining hole 81 in the effect body 80 and the position of the second retaining hole 82 in the front view of the effect device 50 is the position of the retaining holes 72 and 73 in the holder 60 and the retaining hole 74 , 75 are substantially the same as the positional relationship. That is, in the front view of the rendering device 50, the second holding hole 82 is substantially the same as the direction and distance of the positions of the holding holes 74, 75 with respect to the positions of the holding holes 72, 73 with respect to the position of the first holding hole 81. It is provided at the position which becomes direction and distance. The screw 111 fastened to the first fastening hole 81 rotatably supports the first link member 100 at the tip end portion 101. The first support shaft 104 held in the holding holes 72 and 73 rotatably supports the first link member 100 at the proximal end portion 102. The screw 131 fastened to the second retaining hole 82 rotatably supports the second link member 120 at the tip end portion 121. The second support shaft 124 held by the holding holes 74 and 75 rotatably supports the second link member 120 at the proximal end portion 122. As described above, the length L1 of the first link member 100 and the length L2 of the second link member 120 are substantially the same. That is, the first link member 100 and the second link member 120 constitute a parallel crank mechanism. Therefore, when the effect body 80 moves between the effect position and the standby position, the first link member 100 and the second link member 120 maintain the first extending direction and the second extending direction substantially in parallel. Rotate. Further, the connection terminal portion 85 of the electric decoration substrate is exposed to the rear surface of the effect body 80 in the vicinity of the second retaining hole 82.

  The third retaining hole 83 is provided at the right end of the rear face of the effect body 80. The third fastening hole 83 is provided at a position closer to the first fastening hole 81 between the first fastening hole 81 and the second fastening hole 82 in the vertical direction. The hooking portion 84 is provided substantially at the center in the left-right direction on the rear surface of the effect body 80. The hooking portion 84 is provided below the first fastening hole 81 in the vertical direction. The other end of the tension spring 90 is hooked to the hook portion 84. As described above, one end of the tension spring 90 is hooked to the hook 108 provided at the tip 101 of the first link member 100. Although described later, the tension spring 90 biases the effect body 80 in a direction in which the effect body 80 rotates clockwise about the screw 111 with respect to the first link member 100 in a front view.

  Next, the operation of the rendering device 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 7 to 9. At the time of no effect, the effect body 80 is disposed on the rear side of the decoration frame 14 (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the first link member 100 is disposed such that the distal end portion 101 is located above the proximal end portion 102. Similarly, the second link member 120 is disposed such that the distal end portion 121 is located above the proximal end portion 122. In the first link member 100 and the second link member 120, the first extension direction and the second extension direction are maintained in parallel. The effect body 80 is disposed at the standby position (see FIG. 2). The shielding plate 128 provided at the proximal end portion 122 of the second link member 120 is disposed at the detection portion of the photo sensor 67. The third link member 140 is supported by a screw 146 whose proximal end 142 is fastened to the decorative frame 14 and is turned, and the third extending direction is left and right, and the distal end 141 is the left of the proximal end 142 Place on

  At the time of presentation, the CPU of the presentation board controls the drive motor 63 to rotate the output gear 64 clockwise in a front view. As the output gear 64 rotates, the driven gear 65 rotates counterclockwise in a front view, and rotates the transmission gear 66 clockwise in a front view. When the effect body 80 is in the standby position, the drive projection 70 of the transmission gear 66 is positioned diagonally above the left of the rotation shaft of the transmission gear 66 in a front view. When the transmission gear 66 rotates clockwise, the drive projection 70 pushes the inner peripheral surface of the driven hole 103 of the first link member 100 rightward via the washer 71 and further pushes it downward. The first link member 100 is pivoted clockwise about the first support shaft 104 in a front view on the tip portion 101 side by pressing by the drive projection 70. The second link member 120, which constitutes the parallel crank mechanism with the first link member 100, pivots the tip end 121 side clockwise in a front view with the second support shaft 124 as a center. The effect body 80 moves along the arc-like track which the first link member 100 and the second link member 120 draw from the standby position toward the lower right. The positional relationship between the position of the first holding hole 81 in the effect body 80 and the position of the second holding hole 82 by the parallel crank mechanism is the position of the holding holes 72 and 73 in the holding body 60 and the positions of the holding holes 74 and 75. The positional relationship with the position is maintained in substantially the same state. Therefore, in the process of moving from the standby position to the effect position, the effect body 80 can move in a state in which the direction in the plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction is maintained in the same direction as the direction at the standby position. Therefore, the rendering device 50 can ensure the readability of the characters on the front surface of the rendering body 80 while the rendering body 80 is moving.

  The hooking portion 84 is provided on the rear surface of the effect body 80 in the same manner as the first fastening hole 81 and the second fastening hole 82. Therefore, the positional relationship between the position of the retaining portion 84 and the position of the first retaining hole 81 does not change. In the process of moving the effect body 80 from the standby position to the effect position, the first link member 100 rotates clockwise with respect to the effect body 80 about the screw 111 fastened to the first retaining hole 81. Therefore, the hooking portion 108 provided at the distal end portion 101 of the first link member 100 rotates clockwise with respect to the effect body 80 about the screw 111. In the standby position, the retaining portion 108 is positioned diagonally to the right of the first retaining hole 81 (see FIG. 7). In the process of moving the effect body 80 from the standby position to the effect position, the retaining portion 108 moves to the left below the first retaining hole 81 along an arc-like track. In other words, in the process of moving the effect body 80 from the standby position to the effect position, the retaining portion 108 moves in the direction away from the retaining portion 84 of the effect body 80. In the effect position, the retaining portion 108 is positioned diagonally to the left of the first retaining hole 81 (see FIG. 8). Therefore, when the effect body 80 moves from the standby position to the effect position, the distance between the retaining portion 108 of the first link member 100 and the retaining portion 84 of the effect body 80 increases. The tension spring 90 is pulled between the holding portions 84 and 108 and applies an urging force in the direction in which the holding portions 84 and 108 approach. The hooked portion 84 of the effect body 80 is, as viewed from the front, closer to the base end portion 102 on the right side in the first extending direction than the screw 111 which is a fulcrum of rotation of the effect body 80 at the distal end portion 101 of the first link member 100 To position. Therefore, the biasing force of the tension spring 90 works in the direction in which the effect body 80 rotates clockwise about the screw 111. However, the rotation of the effect body 80 is blocked by the second link member 120 that constitutes the parallel crank mechanism with the first link member 100. Therefore, the biasing force of the tension spring 90 acts on the effect body 80 from the effect position toward the standby position. As a result, the force with which the effect body 80 moves in the direction from the standby position to the effect position by the gravity applied to the effect body 80 is relaxed.

  The distance between the screw 149 fastened to the effect body 80 and the screw 146 supporting the proximal end 142 of the third link member 140 changes according to the position of the effect body 80. The screw 149 engages with the elongated hole 143 via the washers 147 and 148 on the tip end 141 side of the third link member 140. Thus, the screw 149 can change the distance between the screw 146 and the slot 146 along with the slot 143 while being engaged with the slot 143. With this configuration, the third link member 140 can rotate counterclockwise in a front view with the screw 146 of the base end portion 142 as a fulcrum along with the movement of the effect body 80.

  The connection line 135 is wired in the groove 132 of the second link member 120 (see FIG. 6). Therefore, even if the second link member 120 is pivoted, the connection line 135 does not prevent the pivoting of the second link member 120. Further, around the proximal end portion 102 of the first link member 100, an output gear 64 for transmitting the driving force, a driven gear 65, and a transmission gear 66 are provided. The connection line 135 is drawn into the groove 132 of the second link member 120 on the side closer to the connection terminal 77 than the gears or the like. Therefore, even if the second link member 120 rotates, the connection line 135 does not contact the first link member 100 or a gear.

  With the rotation of the second link member 120, the shielding plate 128 separates from the detection portion of the photo sensor 67 and moves to the left clockwise around the second support shaft 124. The CPU of the effect board sets the number of steps of the drive motor 63 based on the time when the photosensor 67 does not detect the shielding plate 128. Thus, the CPU can move the effect body 80 to an effect position or an arbitrary position on the way to the effect position. As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the CPU performs the rendering operation by the rendering device 50 after or while moving the rendering body 80. The rendering device 50 performs a rendering operation by causing the plurality of LEDs provided on the relay substrate 76 and the electric decoration substrate (not shown) of the rendering body 80 to emit light in accordance with a predetermined light emission pattern. The LED light is irradiated to the front of the pachinko machine 1 through the front of the decoration frame 14 or the effect body 80.

  Even when the effect body 80 is located at the effect position, the positional relationship between the position of the first retaining hole 81 in the effect body 80 and the position of the second retaining hole 82 is the holding hole 72 in the holding body 60 by the parallel crank mechanism. , 73 and the positional relationship between the positions of the holding holes 74 and 75 are maintained substantially in the same state. Therefore, even when the effect body 80 moves to the effect position, the effect in the plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction can be maintained in the same direction as the direction in the standby position. Therefore, the effect device 50 can ensure the readability of the characters on the front of the effect body 80 even if the effect body 80 moves to the effect position.

  Further, when the effect body 80 is located at the effect position, the third link member 140 orients the third extending direction in the vertical direction, and arranges the tip end portion 141 below the base end portion 142. The screw 149 fastened to the effect body 80 is located in the long hole 143 of the third link member 140 at a portion closest to the tip end portion 141. That is, among the opening portions of the long hole 143, the opening portion most distant from the screw hole 144 (see FIG. 4) of the base end portion 142 in the third extending direction is the screw 149 when the effect body 80 is located at the effect position. , And the position at which the screw 146 supporting the proximal end 142 is fastened to the decorative frame 14 is formed at a position corresponding to the distance. Accordingly, the third link member 140 suspends the right end of the effect body 80. Therefore, the third link member 140 can prevent the effect body 80 from inclining the right end downward due to the weight.

  Even when the effect body 80 moves to the effect position, the first stretching direction and the second stretching direction maintain a substantially parallel state. The second link member 120 does not extend straight along the second stretching direction, and has a bent portion 123. The bending portion 123 projects and bends toward the first link member 100 in a front view. Therefore, the second link member 120 separates from the first link member 100 at the distal end portion 121 and the proximal end portion 122 and approaches the first link member 100 at the bending portion 123. In the effect position, the effect body 80 is located on the right side of the holding body 60 away from the holding body 60. The first link member 100 and the second link member 120 supporting the effect body 80 expose a part between the effect body 80 and the holding body 60. The bending portion 123 is included in a portion exposed between the effect body 80 and the holding body 60. The exposed portion of the first link member 100 and the second link member 120 between the effect body 80 and the holding body 60 is located in front of the symbol display device 28 in the opening 19 of the decoration frame 14. Therefore, the first link member 100 and the second link member 120 are configured to move the display surface 27 of the symbol display device 28 by the bending portion 123 being disposed close to the first link member 100 at the effect position of the effect body 80. The range to block can be narrowed.

  Furthermore, similarly to the second link member 120, the first link member 100 also has a bent portion 113 that protrudes toward the second link member 120 in a front view. The formation position of the bending portion 113 is higher than the portion where the first link member 100 and the second link member 120 are exposed between the effect body 80 and the holding body 60 when the effect body 80 is located at the effect position. Slightly located on the tip end 101 side. Also, the formation position of the bending portion 113 is a position that does not interfere with the bending portion 123 of the second link member 120 when the effect body 80 is located at the effect position. Therefore, in the effect position of the effect body 80, the first link member 100 is disposed by bringing the bending portion 123 close to the first link member 100 and the bending portion 113 being disposed close to the second link member 120. The second link member 120 can further narrow the range in which the display surface 27 of the symbol display device 28 is blocked.

  When the effect is finished, the CPU of the effect board controls the drive motor 63 to rotate the output gear 64 counterclockwise as viewed from the front. The driven gear 65 rotates clockwise in a front view, and the transmission gear 66 rotates counterclockwise in a front view. When the effect body 80 is in the effect position, the drive projection 70 of the transmission gear 66 is positioned diagonally lower left of the rotation shaft of the transmission gear 66 in a front view. When the transmission gear 66 rotates counterclockwise, the drive projection 70 pushes the inner peripheral surface of the driven hole 103 of the first link member 100 upward via the washer 71 and further pushes it to the left. The first link member 100 is rotated counterclockwise about the first support shaft 104 in a front view and the tip portion 101 side by pressing by the drive projection 70. The second link member 120 is pivoted clockwise by the parallel crank mechanism about the second support shaft 124 in a front view on the tip 121 side. The effect body 80 moves from the effect position toward the upper left obliquely along the arc-like track drawn by the first link member 100 and the second link member 120. Similarly to the above, in the process of moving from the effect position to the standby position, the effect body 80 moves in a state in which the direction on the plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction is maintained in the same direction as the direction at the effect position.

  The tension spring 90 is pulled between the holding portions 84 and 108 in the effect position, and applies an urging force in the direction in which the holding portions 84 and 108 approach each other. Therefore, as described above, the biasing force of the tension spring 90 acts on the effect body 80 from the effect position toward the standby position. As a result, the gravity applied to the effect body 80 is reduced by the torque generated by the tension spring 90. The load on the drive motor 63 is reduced, and the effect body 80 smoothly moves toward the standby position.

  Similarly to the above, the third link member 140 changes the distance between the screw 149 of the effect body 80 and the screw 146 supporting the base end 142 by the elongated hole 143, and is viewed from the front with the screw 146 as a fulcrum. Rotate clockwise. Even when the second link member 120 pivots clockwise as viewed from the front, the connection line 135 does not prevent the pivoting of the second link member 120 and contacts the first link member 100 or a gear as described above. I have nothing to do.

  As the second link member 120 pivots, the shielding plate 128 moves counterclockwise around the second support shaft 124 to the right. When moving the effect body 80 from the effect position to the standby position, the drive motor 63 may be out of step due to the load of gravity on the effect body 80. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the detection unit of the photosensor 67 detects the shield plate 128, the CPU of the effect substrate places the effect body 80 in the standby position based on the time when the shield plate 128 is detected. The number of steps of the drive motor 63 is set. The angle at which the second link member 120 can rotate the second link member 120 according to the number of steps set by the CPU is the angle from the position where the second link member 120 detects the shielding plate 128 to the movement of the effect body 80 to the standby position. Greater than. Therefore, the CPU can reliably move the effect body 80 to the standby position even if the drive motor 63 is out of step due to the weight of the effect body 80.

  When the effect body 80 is located at the standby position, as described above, the third link member 140 orients the third extending direction in the left-right direction and places the tip end portion 141 to the left of the base end portion 142. The position at the effect position of the screw 149 fastened to the effect body 80 and the position at the standby position are on the trajectory of an arc centering on the position of the screw 146 supporting the proximal end 142 of the third link member 140 Located in Therefore, in the standby position, the screw 149 fastened to the effect body 80 is located at a portion closest to the tip end portion 141 of the long hole 143 of the third link member 140 as in the case of the effect position. Further, at the standby position of the effect body 80, the position of the screw 149 fastened to the effect body 80 and the position of the screw 146 supporting the base end portion 142 are determined by the screw 111 at the distal end portion 101 of the first link member 100. They are aligned in the lateral direction with the position pivotally supported by the effect body 80. That is, the effect body 80 and the third link member 140 are stretched in the left-right direction. In other words, in the effect body 80, the left end portion is positioned by the tip end portion 101 of the first link member 100 engaged with the screw 111, and the right end portion is pulled horizontally by the third link member 140. Therefore, at the standby position, the effect body 80 is maintained in the plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction without being inclined by the weight of the effect body 80. Since the stage 80 is not tilted by its weight in the standby position, it is not exposed from the lower edge of the decoration frame 14.

  The effect body 80 is maintained by the tension spring 90 in a state of being biased in the direction from the effect position to the standby position. Further, at the standby position of the effect body 80, the first stretching direction and the second stretching direction are directed to angles closer to the vertical direction than the effect position. Therefore, the rotation moment applied to the effect body 80 at the standby position is smaller than the rotation moment applied to the effect body 80 at the effect position. Therefore, the drive motor 63 can easily maintain the state where the effect body 80 is disposed at the standby position, by the stationary torque.

  As described above, when the effect body 80 of the effect device 50 according to the present invention is located at the effect position, the effect body 80 is supported by the first link member 100 and the second link member 120 at the left end. Due to the weight of the effect body 80, the position of the right end portion of the effect body 80 is lowered and may be inclined. At this time, since the pivotal position (the position of the screw 146 supporting the base end portion 142) is positioned above the effect body 80, the third link member 140 is in a state of suspending the right end portion of the effect body 80. The fulcrum (the part where the screw 149 fastened to the effecter 80 engages in the elongated hole 143) is maximally separated from the proximal end 142, and there is no further separation between the pivotal position and the fulcrum . Therefore, the third link member 140 can prevent inclination due to the weight of the effect body 80 when the effect body 80 is located at the effect position.

  When the effect body 80 is located at the standby position, the fulcrum portion, the pivotally supported position, and the position where the distal end portion 101 of the first link member 100 is pivotally supported by the effect body 80 by the screw 111 are aligned in the lateral direction. That is, the effect body 80 and the third link member 140 are stretched in the left-right direction. The portion where the screw 149 fastened to the effect body 80 engages in the long hole 143 is maximally separated from the base end portion 142, and the screw 149 fastened to the support position and the effect body 80 is in the long hole 143 There is no further separation between the parts engaged with the Even when the effect body 80 is inclined by the weight, the other end is pulled by the third link member 140 so that the direction of the effect body 80 is maintained. Therefore, the third link member 140 can suppress inclination due to the weight of the effect body 80 even when the effect body 80 is at the standby position.

  The effect body 80 has a long shape in the left and right direction. In the effect position, the first link member 100 and the effect body 80 extend long in the left-right direction, and a large torque is applied to the axis of the base end portion 102. Therefore, by setting the right end portion of the effect body 80 to be suspended by the third link member 140 at the effect position, the other end side is lower than one end side, and the effect body 80 is inclined. It can be prevented reliably.

  It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments detailed above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the transmission gear 66 is not limited to a missing gear, but may be a gear provided with gear teeth on the entire circumference. Further, the transmission gear 66 may be engaged with the output gear 64 without the driven gear 65. Alternatively, the power of the output gear 64 may be transmitted to the transmission gear 66 via two or more gears.

  Although the effect device 50 is provided with the effect body 80 in the direction in which the effect body 80 rotates clockwise with respect to the holding body 60 and moves from the standby position to the effect position, the effect device 50 is provided in the direction rotating counterclockwise May be In this case, the pachinko machine 1 may be provided with the rendering device 50 in a portion from the right side edge to the upper side edge of the symbol display device 28.

  The first link member 100 has a bending portion 113, and the second link member 120 has a bending portion 123, but the bending portions 113 and 123 may be omitted. Alternatively, only one link member may have a bending portion. For example, the bent portion 113 of the first link member 100 may not be present. In this case, the first link member 100 may extend straight along the first extending direction.

  The tension spring 90 applies a biasing force between the first link member 100 and the effect body 80, but the tension spring 90 is not limited to the tension spring 90. For example, a winding spring may be provided around the screw 111, and the winding spring may apply an urging force in the direction in which the effect body 80 rotates clockwise with respect to the first link member 100.

  In the standby position of the effect body 80, the position of the screw 149, the position of the screw 146, and the position of the screw 111 may not necessarily be aligned in a straight line in the left-right direction.

  The screw 146 supporting the proximal end 142 of the third link member 140 may be directly fastened to the decorative frame 14. Alternatively, the screw 146 may be fastened, for example, to another rendering device fixed to the decoration frame 14 and indirectly to the decoration frame 14.

  All elements described in the claims, the specification and the drawings (e.g., the display device, the common motorized parts, the symbol operation port, etc.) are physically identified unless the number is clearly limited. The arrangement may be single or plural, and the arrangement may be appropriately changed. In addition, the names (element names) given to the respective elements are merely given for the sake of convenience of the description of the present application, and it is not particularly conscious that they give rise to a special meaning. Therefore, what is an element is not limitedly interpreted only by the element name. For example, the "display device" may be either a single hardware or a software. Furthermore, it is not specified in the claims etc. whether plural elements of all the above elements are appropriately integrated or one element is divided into plural elements, Since any of them is a matter which can be considered extremely easily by those skilled in the art, it is obvious that any pattern is within the assumed range even if the entire pattern is not described in the specification etc. Of course, it is included in the scope of the right. Therefore, merely adopting a gaming machine having a structural difference within that range and not described in the present embodiment does not mean that the right of the present invention is avoided. . In addition, the same applies to differences in the obvious range which can be easily considered by those skilled in the art from the present embodiment in the configuration, the shape, and the like of each element.
