Is done. A return rubber 69 is attached to the tip of the outer rail 62 (upper right part in FIG. 2) at a position corresponding to the maximum flying portion of the sphere, and the ball launched at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 69 and gains momentum. Is bounced back to the center while being attenuated.

  First symbol display devices 37A and 37B each having a plurality of LEDs and a 7-segment display as light emitting means are disposed in the lower left portion of the game area when viewed from the front (lower left portion in FIG. 2). The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B display according to each control performed by the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4), and mainly display the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10. In the present embodiment, the first symbol display devices 37 </ b> A and 37 </ b> B are configured to be selectively used depending on whether the ball has won the first prize opening 64 or the second prize opening 640. Specifically, when the ball wins the first winning opening 64, the first symbol display device 37A operates, while when the ball wins the second winning opening 640, the first symbol display device 37A operates. The symbol display device 37B is configured to operate.

  In addition, the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B indicate, by means of LEDs, whether the pachinko machine 10 is in the process of changing the probability, in the short time, or in the normal state by a lighting state, or by the lighting state, , Indicating whether the stop symbol is a symbol corresponding to a probable jackpot, a symbol corresponding to a normal jackpot, or a symbol that is out of place by a lighting state, indicating the number of held balls by a lighting state, and a 7-segment display device, Displays numbers and errors. The plurality of LEDs are configured to have different emission colors (for example, red, green, and blue) of each LED, and the combination of the emission colors may suggest various gaming states of the pachinko machine 10 with a small number of LEDs. it can.

  In the present pachinko machine 10, a lottery is performed in response to winning of the first winning port 64 and the second winning port 640. In the lottery, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not it is a big hit (big hit lottery), and also determines the type of the big hit if it is determined to be a big hit. As the jackpot type determined here, 15R probability variation jackpot, 4R probability variation jackpot, and 15R normal jackpot are prepared. The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B not only indicate whether or not the lottery result is a jackpot as a stop symbol after the end of the variation, but if it is a jackpot, a symbol corresponding to the jackpot type is displayed. .

  Here, “15R probability variation jackpot” is a probability variation jackpot in which the maximum number of rounds shifts to a high probability state after a jackpot of 15 rounds. “4R probability variation jackpot” is a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of four. It is a probabilistic jackpot that shifts to a high probability state after. In addition, “15R normal jackpot” is a jackpot that shifts to a low probability state after the maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds and hits a short time during a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuations). is there.

  In addition, the “high probability state” means a state in which the jackpot probability thereafter increases as an added value after the jackpot ends, that is, when the probability change is in progress (probability change), in other words, a game that easily shifts to the special game state. It is a state of. The high probability state (during probability change) in the present embodiment includes a game state in which the hit probability of the second symbol, which will be described later, is increased and the ball is likely to win the second winning opening 640. The “low probability state” refers to a time when the probability of jackpot change is not occurring, and a state where the jackpot probability is normal, that is, a state where the jackpot probability is lower than that at the time of probability change. The short time state (short time medium) of the “low probability state” means that the jackpot probability is a normal state, and the jackpot probability remains as it is, and only the hit probability of the second symbol is increased, and the second prize opening 640 is obtained. It means the state of the game where the ball is easy to win. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine 10 is in a normal state is a game state (a state where neither the big hit probability nor the second symbol hit probability is increased) which is neither probabilistic nor short in time.

  During probability change and time reduction, not only does the probability of winning the second symbol increase, but also the time for opening the electric accessory 640a associated with the second prize opening 640 is changed, and the time is longer than normal. Is set. When the electric accessory 640a is in the opened state (open state), the ball wins the second winning opening 640 as compared to the case where the electric accessory 640a is in the closed state (closed state). Easy state. Therefore, during the probability change or the short time, it becomes easy for the ball to win the second winning opening 640, and the number of jackpot lotteries can be increased.

  In addition, during the probability change or during the short time, it is not necessary to change the opening time of the electric accessory 640a associated with the second prize opening 640, or in addition to changing the opening time, It is good also as what changes the frequency | count that the accessory 640a opens more than usual. In addition, the probability of winning the second symbol is not changed during the probability change or in the short time, and the electric accessory 640a is released at the time when the electric accessory 640a associated with the second winning opening 640 is opened and once. It is good also as what changes at least one of the frequency | counts. In addition, during the probability change or in the short time, the time of opening the electric accessory 640a associated with the second winning opening 640 or the number of times of opening the electric accessory 640a per time is not counted, and the second symbol hit Only the probability may be changed so as to increase compared to the normal rate.

  The game area is provided with a plurality of general winning ports 63 through which 5 to 15 balls are paid out as winning balls when the balls win. In addition, a variable display device unit 80 is disposed in the central portion of the game area. The variable display device unit 80 is synchronized with the variable display on the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B by using a winning (start winning) at the first winning port 64 and the second winning port 640 as a trigger. It is composed of a third symbol display device 81 composed of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply referred to as “display device”) that performs variable display, and an LED that displays the second symbol in a variable manner with the passage of a sphere of the through gate 67 as a trigger. A second symbol display device (not shown) is provided. The variable display device unit 80 is provided with a center frame 86 so as to surround the outer periphery of the third symbol display device 81.

  The third symbol display device 81 is constituted by a large 9-inch liquid crystal display, and the display content is controlled by the display control device 114 (see FIG. 4). One symbol row is displayed. Each symbol row is composed of a plurality of symbols (third symbol). These third symbols are horizontally scrolled for each symbol column, and the third symbol is variably displayed on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81. It is like that. In the third symbol display device 81 of the present embodiment, the game state is displayed on the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B in accordance with the control of the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4). The decorative display according to the display of the symbol display devices 37A and 37B is performed. Instead of the display device, the third symbol display device 81 may be configured using, for example, a reel.

  Each time the sphere passes through the through gate 67, the second symbol display device alternately turns on the symbol “◯” and the symbol “X” as a display symbol (second symbol (not shown)) for a predetermined time. A variable display is performed. In the pachinko machine 10, when it is detected that the ball has passed through the through gate 67, a winning lottery is performed. As a result of the winning lottery, if the winning symbol is a winning symbol, the symbol “◯” is stopped and displayed on the second symbol display device after the variation of the second symbol is displayed. Further, if the winning lottery results, the symbol of “x” is stopped and displayed on the second symbol display device after the variation of the third symbol is displayed.

  In the pachinko machine 10, when the variable display on the second symbol display device stops at a predetermined symbol (in this embodiment, a symbol “◯”), the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is displayed for a predetermined time. It is configured to be in an activated state (opened) only.

  The time required for the variable display of the second symbol is set to be shorter during the probability change or during the shorter time than when the game state is normal. As a result, during the probability change and during the time reduction, since the variation display of the second symbol is performed in a short time, the winning lottery can be performed more than during normal. Therefore, since the chance of winning in the winning lottery increases, it is possible to give the player a lot of opportunities for the electric winning component 640a of the second winning opening 640 to be in an open state. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the ball to win the second winning opening 640 during the probability change and during the short time.

  It is to be noted that the probability of winning is increased during probability change or time reduction, and other methods such as increasing the opening time and the number of times of opening of the electric accessory 640a per hit are also used to reach the second prize opening 640 during probability change or time reduction. When the ball is in a state where it is easy to win, the time required for the variable display of the second symbol may be constant regardless of the gaming state. On the other hand, when the time required for displaying the variation of the second symbol is set shorter than normal during probability change or short time, the winning probability may be constant regardless of the gaming state, The opening time and the number of opening times of the electric accessory 640a may be constant regardless of the gaming state.

  The through gate 67 is assembled to the game board on the right side in the lower area of the variable display device unit 80, and a part of the ball flowing down to the right side of the game board can pass through the balls launched to the game board. It is configured. When the ball passes through the through gate 67, a winning lottery of the second symbol is performed. After winning the lottery, the 2nd symbol display device displays a variation, and if the winning lottery results, the symbol “○” is displayed as the variable display stop symbol, and the winning lottery result is not For example, the symbol “x” is displayed as the stop symbol of the variable display.

  The total number of passes through the through-gate 67 of the sphere is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of held balls is displayed by the above-described first symbol display devices 37A and 37B and at the second symbol hold lamp (not shown). Is also displayed. Four second symbol holding lamps are provided for the maximum number of holdings, and are arranged symmetrically below the third symbol display device 81.

  Note that the variable display of the second symbol is performed by switching between lighting and non-lighting of a plurality of lamps in the second symbol display device as in the present embodiment, as well as the first symbol display devices 37A, 37B and the third symbol. A part of the symbol display device 81 may be used. Similarly, the second symbol holding lamp may be turned on by a part of the third symbol display device 81. Further, the maximum number of balls held for passing through the ball of the through gate 67 is not limited to four times, and may be set to three times or less, or five times or more (for example, eight times). Further, the number of through gates 67 to be assembled is not limited to one, and may be plural (for example, two). Further, the assembly position of the through gate 67 is not limited to the right side of the variable display device unit 80, and may be the left side of the variable display device unit 80, for example. In addition, since the number of reserved balls is indicated by the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, the second symbol hold lamp may not perform lighting display.

  Below the variable display unit 80, a first winning port 64 through which a ball can win is disposed. When a ball wins the first winning port 64, a first winning port switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main controller 110 is caused by the first winning port switch being turned on. A jackpot lottery is made (see FIG. 4), and a display corresponding to the lottery result is shown on the first symbol display device 37A.

  On the other hand, a second winning port 640 through which a ball can win is disposed on the right side of the first winning port 64 in front view. When a ball wins the second prize opening 640, a second prize opening switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main controller 110 is caused by the second prize opening switch being turned on. A jackpot lottery is performed (see FIG. 4), and a display corresponding to the lottery result is shown on the first symbol display device 37B.

  Each of the first winning port 64 and the second winning port 640 is also one of winning ports from which five balls are paid out as winning balls when a ball is won. In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls to be paid out when a ball wins the first prize opening 64 and the number of prize balls to be paid out when a ball wins the second prize slot 640 are configured to be the same. The number of prize balls to be paid out when a ball wins the first prize opening 64 is different from the number of prize balls to be paid out when a ball wins to the second prize opening 640, for example, the ball to the first prize opening 64 The number of prize balls to be paid out when a prize is won may be three, and the number of prize balls to be paid out when a ball wins the second prize opening 640 may be five.

  The second winning opening 640 is accompanied by an electric accessory 640a. The electric accessory 640a is configured to be openable and closable. Normally, the electric accessory 640a is in a closed state (reduced state), and it is difficult for the ball to win the second prize opening 640. On the other hand, when the symbol “◯” is displayed on the second symbol display device as a result of the variation display of the second symbol that is triggered by the passage of the ball to the through gate 67, the electric accessory 640a is in an open state (enlarged) State), and the ball is likely to win the second winning opening 640.

  As described above, the probability of hitting the second symbol is higher than that during normal change during the probability change and the short time, and the time required for the variation display of the second symbol is short. "Is easily displayed, and the number of times that the electric accessory 640a is opened (enlarged) is increased. Further, during the probability change and the time reduction, the time for opening the electric accessory 640a also becomes longer than during the normal time. Therefore, it is possible to create a state where the ball is likely to win the second winning opening 640 during the probability change and during the short time compared to the normal time.

  Here, the probability of winning a big hit is the same in both the low probability state and the high probability state when the ball wins the first winning port 64 and when the ball wins the second winning port 640. However, the probability that a 15R probability variation jackpot is selected as the jackpot type selected when the jackpot is won is higher when the ball wins the second winning slot 640 than when the ball wins the first winning slot 64. Is set. On the other hand, the first winning port 64 does not have an electric accessory as in the second winning port 640, and is in a state where the ball can always win.

  Therefore, during normal times, the electric winnings associated with the second winning opening 640 are often in a closed state, and it is difficult to win the second winning opening 640. Then, the ball is fired so that the ball passes to the left of the variable display device unit 80 (so-called “left-handed”), and a lot of opportunities for lottery wins are obtained by winning at the first winning opening 64, resulting in a big hit It is advantageous for the player to aim for this.

  On the other hand, during the probability change or during the short time, passing the ball through the through gate 67 makes it easy for the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 to be in an open state and to easily win the second winning opening 640. Therefore, the ball is fired toward the second prize opening 640 so that the ball passes the right side of the variable display device 80 (so-called “right-handed”), and is passed through the through gate 67 to open the electric accessory. In addition, it is more advantageous for the player to aim for a 15R probability variation jackpot by winning the second winning opening 640.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment launches a ball to the player in accordance with the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 (whether it is probable, short, or normal). Can be changed between “left-handed” and “right-handed”. Thus, the player can be changed in the way the ball is hit, so that the game can be enjoyed.

  A first variable winning device 65 is disposed on the lower right side of the first winning port 64, and a horizontally long rectangular specific winning port (large opening port) 65a is provided at a substantially central portion thereof. In the pachinko machine 10, when the jackpot lottery performed due to the winning at the first winning port 64 or the second winning port 640 becomes a jackpot, after a predetermined time (variable time) has passed, The first symbol display device 37A or the first symbol display device 37B is turned on, and a stop symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the third symbol display device 81 to indicate the occurrence of the jackpot. Thereafter, the gaming state transitions to a special gaming state (big hit) where the ball is easy to win. In this special gaming state, the special winning opening 65a that is normally closed is opened for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds have elapsed or ten balls have been won).

  The specific winning opening 65a is closed when a predetermined time elapses, and after the closing, the specific winning opening 65a is opened again for a predetermined time. The opening / closing operation of the specific winning opening 65a can be repeated up to 15 times (15 rounds), for example. The state in which the opening / closing operation is performed is a form of a special gaming state advantageous to the player, and the player is given out a larger amount of prize balls than usual in order to give a gaming value (game value). Is done.

  Specifically, the first variable winning device 65 includes a horizontally-long rectangular opening / closing plate that covers the specific winning opening 65a, and a large opening-port solenoid (not shown) for opening and closing the front side with the lower side of the opening / closing plate as an axis. )). The special winning opening 65a is normally closed so that the ball cannot win or is difficult to win. In the case of a big win, the large opening opening solenoid is driven to tilt the opening / closing plate downwards in the front, temporarily forming an open state in which the ball is likely to win the specific winning opening 65a. It operates to repeat the state and the state alternately.

  Note that the special gaming state is not limited to the above-described form. When a large opening that is opened and closed separately from the specific winning opening 65a is provided in the game area, and the LED corresponding to the jackpot is turned on in the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, the specific winning opening 65a is opened for a predetermined time, A special game in which a large opening provided separately from the specific winning port 65a is opened for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times when the ball wins into the specific winning port 65a while the specific winning port 65a is opened. You may make it form as a state. Further, the number of the specific winning opening 65a is not limited to one, and one or more than two (for example, three) may be arranged, and the arrangement position is the lower right side of the first winning opening 64 or the first For example, the left side of the variable display unit 80 is not limited to the lower left side of the winning opening 64.

It moves between the position and the overhang position shown in FIG. In the retracted position shown in FIG. 5, the pair of first slide members 720 are retracted to the left and right outward of the opening 211 a of the back case 210, and the pair of second slide members 740 are positioned above and below the opening 211 a of the back case 210. It is evacuated to the outside and cannot be seen by the player (see FIG. 2). On the other hand, in the overhang position shown in FIG. 10, the slide members 720 and 740 are arranged at the center of the opening 211a of the back case 210 (that is, the front of the third symbol display device 81, see FIG. 2).

  The second slide operation unit 700 is formed so that the shape of the “heart” can be seen in front view when the slide members 720 and 740 are overhanging.

  As will be described later, the reversing operation unit 500 includes a rectangular plate-like reflecting member 520 (see FIG. 28), and is formed so that the surface of the reflecting member 520 viewed from the player can be reversed (turned over). The The reversing operation unit 500 does not have a member that protrudes to the center of the opening 211a of the back case 210 (that is, the front of the third symbol display device 81) as provided in the other operation units 300, 400, and 700. Therefore, the reversing operation unit 500 is always operated on the left side of the opening 211a of the back case 210 (see FIG. 5).

  Each of these operation units 300 to 700 is formed so as to be able to operate independently, and as described above, the operation units 300 to 700 are arranged in a stacked state (stacked). Those having different layers may be operated at the same time even if the operating member projects inward from the opening 211a of the back case 210. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, the operation units 300 to 700 can be operated not only independently, but also these operations can be combined, so that the production effect can be enhanced. In addition, each operation | movement unit 300-600 is arrange | positioned in the same layer, and each of these operation | movement units 300-600 and the 2nd slide operation | movement unit 700 are arrange | positioned in a different layer (refer FIG. 7).

  FIG. 11 is a front view of the operation unit 200. In FIG. 11, the tilt member 460 of the first slide operation unit 400 is disposed at the extended position, and the slide members 720 and 740 of the second slide operation unit 700 are disposed at the extended position.

  Here, since the second slide operation unit 700 is disposed between the first slide operation unit 400 and the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 2), the first slide operation unit 400 and the third symbol display are displayed. A gap corresponding to the second slide operation unit 700 is generated between the device 81 and the apparatus 81. Therefore, when only the tilting member 460 of the first slide operation unit 400 is disposed at the overhang position, a part of the display area P (see FIG. 2) of the third symbol display device 81 is shielded from being visible in front view. Although it is possible, it is difficult to prevent the player from viewing the display area P of the third symbol display device 81 by looking through the gap from an oblique direction (for example, a direction inclined in the left-right direction from the front view).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, the tilting member 460 of the first slide operation unit 400 and the slide members 720 and 740 of the second slide operation unit 700 are both arranged at the extended position, so that the player Can be filled with the slide members 720 and 740. Thereby, it can shield reliably so that a part of display area P of the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81 cannot be visually recognized, and the production effect of the operation unit 200 can be improved.

  FIG. 12 is a front view of the operation unit 200. In FIG. 12, the upright member 330 of the swing operation unit 300 is disposed at the extended position, and the slide members 720 and 740 of the second slide operation unit 700 are disposed at the extended position.

  Here, since the second slide operation unit 700 is disposed between the swing operation unit 300 and the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 2), the swing operation unit 300 and the third symbol display device 81 are disposed. A gap of 700 minutes for the second slide operation unit is generated between the two. Therefore, when only the upright member 330 of the swinging operation unit 300 is disposed at the extended position, a part of the display area P (see FIG. 2) of the third symbol display device 81 is shielded from being visible in front view. Although it is possible, it is difficult to prevent the player from viewing the display area P of the third symbol display device 81 by looking through the gap from an oblique direction (for example, a direction inclined in the left-right direction from the front view).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, the rising member 330 of the swing operation unit 300 and the slide members 720 and 740 of the second slide operation unit 700 are both arranged at the extended position, so that the player can A gap seen from an oblique direction can be filled with the slide members 720 and 740. Thereby, it can shield reliably so that a part of display area P (refer FIG. 2) of the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81 cannot be visually recognized, and the effect effect of the operation unit 200 can be improved.

  The swing operation unit 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 20. 13A and 13B are front perspective views of the swing operation unit 300. FIG. In FIG. 13A, the arm member 320 and the standing member 330 are disposed at the retracted position, and in FIG. 13B, the arm member 320 and the standing member 330 are disposed at the protruding position.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the arm member 320 of the swing motion unit 300 is swung around the swing shaft 312 and the posture of the upright member 330 relative to the arm member 320 is changed before and after the swing (the tension is changed). Stand up as you go out). Next, the overall configuration of the swing operation unit 300 will be described.

  14 is an exploded front perspective view of the swing operation unit 300, and FIG. 15 is an exploded rear perspective view of the swing operation unit 300.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the swing operation unit 300 includes a base member 310 formed in a plate shape, an arm member 320 pivotally supported on the base end side by the base member 310, and the arm member 320. Standing member 330 that is internally fitted to the swing end side that is the end opposite to the base end side of the base member 310, and a drive device that is disposed on the back surface of the lower right portion of the base member 310 (see FIG. 14). 340, a transmission device 350 meshed with the drive gear 341 of the drive device 340 and coupled to the arm member 320, a torsion spring 360 that applies a biasing force to the arm member 320, and a lower right portion of the base member 310 when viewed from the front And a cover member 370 attached to the front surface of the main body.

  The base member 310 is a member that matches the thickness direction and the front-rear direction and serves as a skeleton of the swing operation unit 300, and is fixed to the fitting hole 311 that is drilled in the thickness direction and the fitting hole 311. A cylindrical rocking shaft 312, a transmission shaft 313 projecting in the thickness direction below the fitting hole 311, a drive gear insertion hole 314 drilled adjacent to the transmission shaft 313, and a fitting hole A guide hole 315 that is a pair of long holes extending concentrically with 311 and formed on the left side of the guide hole 315 when viewed from the front (see FIG. 14), and bent to the opposite side of the guide hole 315 A standing hole 316 that is a long hole that is extended and a hook part 317 that protrudes like a bowl on the front side on the right side of the fitting hole 311 when viewed from the front.

  The arm member 320 is a member for projecting the swinging operation unit 330 inward of the opening 211a (see FIG. 5) of the back case 210, and includes a main body portion 321 formed in a long plate shape, A penetrating cylindrical tubular portion 322 disposed on the base end side of the main body portion 321; a sliding ring portion 323 opened in the same direction as the tubular portion 322 on the swing end side of the main body portion 321; A plate-shaped front contact portion 324 which is raised and arranged on the front side of the main body portion 321; a long hole-like release hole 325 extending along a straight line drawn radially from the cylindrical portion 322; A pair of sliding portions 326 formed on the back surface side of the portion 321 and projecting toward the base member 310, and projecting toward the front side in the left side of the cylindrical portion 322 (see FIG. 14). A projecting portion 327.

  The cylindrical portion 322 is a portion that is externally fitted to the swing shaft 312 of the base member 310. That is, the arm member 310 is swung around the cylindrical portion 322 that is pivotally supported by the swing shaft 312.

  The sliding ring portion 323 is a portion that supports the upright member 330 by internal fitting. It is formed in a large diameter and suppresses the wobbling of the upright member 330.

  The front contact portion 324 is fastened and fixed to the main body portion 321 near the base end side, and is not fastened near the swing end side. Therefore, in a state where a gap is formed between the front contact portion 324 and the main body portion 321 and the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position, the portion on the protruding end side of the standing member 330 is the front contact portion 324 and the main body portion. It accommodates in the clearance gap between 321 (refer FIG. 16).

  The release hole 325 is a long hole connected to the regulation sliding portion 351 of the transmission device 350, and the action of regulating the swing of the arm member 320 by the positional relationship of the transmission device 350, the cylindrical portion 322, and the release hole 325. The details will be described later.

  Since the pair of sliding portions 326 are inserted through the pair of guide holes 315 of the base member, the pair of sliding portions 326 are slid into the pair of guide holes 315 while the arm member 320 is swinging. Thus, rattling of the arm member 320 is suppressed and the swinging of the arm member 320 is stabilized. Since the ring-shaped collar member is fastened and fixed to the tip of the sliding portion 326 in a rotatable manner, the sliding portion 326 is prevented from falling off the guide hole 315 and the swinging operation of the arm member 320 is stabilized. Can be made.

  The protruding portion 327 is a portion where the moving end side arm portion 362 of the torsion spring 360 is locked, and is a portion to which the urging force of the torsion spring 360 is transmitted.

  The standing member 330 is a member disposed on the front side of the opening 211a (see FIG. 5) of the rear case 210 by swinging the arm member 320 in the upward direction, and includes a plate-like main body portion 331 and its main body portion. A projecting ring portion 332 projecting in a large-diameter ring shape from the rear surface side of 331, a change sliding portion 333 projecting on the rear surface side on the base end side, and a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the projecting ring portion 332 And a retaining portion 334 that is fastened and fixed to the changing sliding portion 333.

  The main body 331 is formed in an elliptical plate shape having a major axis direction D1 (see FIG. 16) and a minor axis direction D2 (see FIG. 16).

  The overhang ring portion 332 is formed with an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the sliding ring portion 323 of the arm member 320. Therefore, the standing member 330 is pivotally supported so that the outer surface of the overhanging ring portion 332 is in contact with the inner surface of the sliding ring portion 323 over a wide range (large area). Therefore, even when the large upright member 330 is pivotally supported at one place, the wobbling of the upright member 330 accompanying the swing of the arm member 320 can be suppressed.

  The change sliding portion 333 is a portion that is inserted into the upright hole 316 of the base member 310 and has a role of changing the posture of the upright member 330 as the arm member 320 is swung. The details will be described later. In addition, since a ring-shaped collar member is fastened and fixed to the tip of the changing sliding portion 333, the changing sliding portion 333 is prevented from falling off the standing hole 316 and the arm member 320 is swung. Can be stabilized.

  The retaining portion 334 is formed with an outer shape slightly larger than the inner diameter of the sliding ring portion 323 of the arm member 320, and is fastened and fixed to the main body portion 331 of the upright member 330, and the back surface of the sliding ring portion 323 of the arm member 320. Abutted on the side. Therefore, the standing member 330 can be formed so as not to be pulled out from the arm member 320 by the retaining portion 334.

  The drive device 340 is a motor that is disposed on the back side of the base member 310 and drives the arm member 320, and includes a drive gear 341 that is rotationally driven. The drive gear 341 is inserted into the drive gear of the base member 310. It is disposed on the front side of the base member 310 through the hole 314 (see FIG. 20).

  The transmission device 350 is a member to which the driving force of the driving device 340 is transmitted first, and is supported on the transmission shaft 313 of the base member 310 on the proximal end side and meshed with the driving gear 341 of the driving device 340. The Moreover, the rocking | fluctuation end which is an edge part on the opposite side to a base end side is provided with the control sliding part 351 which protrudes toward the front side.

  The restriction sliding portion 351 is inserted into the release hole 325 of the arm member 320, and the restriction slide portion 351 is slid into the release hole 325 of the arm member 320 during the swinging operation of the arm member 320. In particular, when the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position toward the retracted position, the arm member 320 is swung by the driving force of the driving device 340 transmitted through the transmitting device 350.

  The torsion spring 360 is an elastic spring serving as a power source in the swinging operation of the arm member 320, particularly when the arm member 320 is swung from the retracted position to the extended position. A proximal end arm portion 361 that is supported (pressed downward) and a movable end side arm portion 362 supported (pressed downward) by the projecting portion 327 of the arm member 320.

  Next, the swing operation of the swing operation unit 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18. 16 (a), 17 (a) and 18 (a) are front views of the swing operation unit 300 illustrating the swing operation of the arm member 320 and the posture change of the standing member 330 in time series. FIGS. 16B, 17B, and 18B are rear views of the swing operation unit 300 illustrating the swing operation of the arm member 320 and the posture change of the standing member 330 in time series. 16 shows a state in which the arm member 320 is arranged at the retracted position, and FIG. 17 shows a state in which the change sliding portion 333 of the upright member 330 is arranged at a point where the curvature of the upright hole 316 changes. 18, the state in which the arm member 320 is disposed at the extended position is illustrated.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position, the upright member 330 takes a posture in which the major axis direction D1 (left and right direction in FIG. 16) is tilted horizontally. At this time, the portion on the protruding end side of the standing member 330 is accommodated between the main body portion 321 and the front contact portion 324 of the arm member 320.

  That is, in a state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position, the standing member 330 can be shielded from the player using a space necessary for shielding the arm member 320 from the player. Therefore, the limited space outside the display area P (see FIG. 2) of the third symbol display device 81 can be used effectively.

  In addition, the pair of sliding portions 326 of the arm member 320 is disposed at the lower end of the guide hole 315, and the change sliding portion 333 of the standing member 330 is disposed at the lower end of the standing hole 316. As a result, the pair of sliding portions 326 and the changing sliding portion 333 can function as a stopper when the arm member 320 is swung downward.

  As shown in FIG. 17, when the arm member 320 is swung toward the extended position, the standing member 330 is changed in a posture (standing posture) in which the major axis direction D1 is directed in the vertical direction.

  The dimension (plate thickness) along the thickness direction of the wall surface (wall surface formed in the thickness direction of the base member 310) of the guide hole 315 of the base member 310 is larger in the vicinity of the upper end than in the vicinity of the lower end of the guide hole 315. The In the vicinity of the upper end of the guide hole 315, the wall surface of the guide hole 315 is formed with a dimension slightly shorter than the length of the sliding part 326 sandwiched between the main body part 321 of the arm member 320 and the collar member. That is, the gap formed between the main body portion 321 and the collar member of the arm member 320 and the base member 310 is larger near the lower end than near the upper end of the guide hole 315. In addition, in this embodiment, it forms in the aspect from which the clearance gap formed changes gradually.

  The gap formed between the main body portion 321 and the collar member of the arm member 320 and the base member 310 is larger near the lower end than near the upper end of the guide hole 315. Therefore, the resistance that the arm member 320 receives from the guide hole 315 when starting from the retracted position can be suppressed, and the high speed when starting the arm member 320 can be ensured.

  Further, in the vicinity of the upper end of the guide hole 315, the dimension (plate thickness) of the wall surface of the guide hole 315 in the thickness direction of the base member 310 is longer than the length of the sliding portion 326 sandwiched between the main body portion 321 of the arm member 320 and the collar member. It is formed with a slightly short dimension (the length of the sliding part 326 and the plate thickness of the base member 310 are formed substantially equal). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the arm member 320 disposed near the upper end of the guide hole 315 from wobbling in the thickness direction of the base member 310.

  In the present embodiment, the standing member 330 is disposed above the sliding portion 326 of the arm member 320 in a state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the extended position (see FIG. 18). Therefore, when the arm member 320 tilts forward with the weight of the upright member 330 (falls to the front side of the sheet of FIG. 18A), the sliding portion 326 serves as a fulcrum for forward tilting. Here, the dimension (plate thickness) of the wall surface of the guide hole 315 in the thickness direction of the base member 310 is slightly shorter than the length of the sliding part 326 sandwiched between the main body part 321 of the arm member 320 and the collar member. Therefore, the arm member 320 can be supported by being brought into contact with the base member 310 on the surface, and the resistance force against the forward tilting of the arm member 320 can be improved.

  Here, the standing hole 316 includes a posture changing portion 316a formed near the lower end and a concentric circular portion 316b formed near the upper end.

  The posture changing portion 316a is a portion in which the extending direction of the long hole is directed to the cylindrical portion 322 (see FIG. 14) that is the swing axis of the arm member 320. When the change sliding portion 333 of the upright member 330 is slid on the posture changing portion 316a, the degree of change in the posture of the upright member 330 with respect to the swing angle of the arm member 320 is maximized. This is because the posture changing portion 316a is in a perpendicular relationship with the circle formed by the movement locus of the sliding ring portion 323.

  Thereby, the posture change of the standing member 330 is completed in a short period from the start, and the posture change between the standing member 330 and the arm member 320 can be reduced when the standing member 330 is visually recognized by the player. Therefore, it is possible to improve the effect of visually recognizing the standing member 330 and the arm member 320 as a unit at the extended position while suppressing the vertical shielding space of the standing member 330 at the retracted position.

  Further, when the arm member 320 is started from the retracted position, the resistance related to the standing member 330 is suppressed. That is, when the standing member 330 is disposed at the retracted position, the direction in which the changing sliding portion 333 is rotated about the cylindrical portion 322 is orthogonal to the posture changing portion 316a. Therefore, when the arm member 320 is started from the retracted position, the work that the rotational force about the cylindrical portion 322 is applied to the change sliding portion 333 becomes zero (force × distance = 0). Therefore, the resistance given to the arm member 320 at the time of starting from the retracted position can be suppressed. Thereby, the high speed at the time of starting of the arm member 320 is securable.

  The concentric circle part 316 b is a part in which the extending direction of the long hole is directed in a direction along a circle centering on the cylindrical part 322 of the arm member 320. When the change sliding part 333 of the standing member 330 slides on the concentric circle part 316b, the relative positional relationship between the sliding ring part 323 of the arm member 320 and the change sliding part 333 of the standing member 330 does not change. The posture of the upright member 330 with respect to the arm member 320 is maintained. Thereby, the standing member 330 and the arm member 320 can be visually recognized as one body, and an effect of performing the standing member 330 and the arm member 320 together can be easily realized.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the arm member 320 is disposed at the extended position, the pair of sliding portions 326 of the arm member 320 are disposed at the upper end of the guide hole 315 and the sliding portion of the standing member 330 is changed. 333 is disposed at the upper end of the standing hole 316. Thus, when the arm member 320 is swung upward, the pair of sliding portions 326 can function as stoppers. In particular, as will be described later, since the arm member 320 is swung in the upward direction by the biasing force of the torsion spring 360, the necessity of a stopper at the end is greater than when driven by a motor or the like. Further, since the sliding portion 326 is formed as a pair, the force generated when the sliding portion 326 functions as a stopper can be dispersed. Thereby, durability of the sliding part 326 can be improved.

  In addition, although the change sliding part 333 of the standing member 330 can be functioned as a stopper, since the standing member 330 is a member pivotally supported by the arm member 320, a strength problem arises. On the other hand, since the pair of sliding portions 326 are formed integrally with the arm member 320, they have sufficient strength. More suitable for use as a stopper.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the arm member 320 is disposed at the protruding position, the protruding end side (upper side in FIG. 18) of the standing member 330 protrudes upward from the sliding ring portion 323 of the arm member 320. Formed. Therefore, even if the swinging angle of the arm member 320 is reduced, it is possible to ensure the action of protruding the standing member 330 to the front side of the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 2). The degree of freedom in designing the moving angle can be improved.

  Further, since the moving distance on the protruding end side of the standing member 330 can be ensured while the swing angle of the arm member 320 is kept small, the effect of increasing the moving speed of the standing member 330 can be improved. it can. This effect becomes prominent in the vicinity of the retracted position (see FIG. 16) in which the degree of change in the posture of the standing member 330 with respect to the swing of the arm member 320 is significant (see FIG. 16), and thus the effect of increasing the starting speed of the arm member 320 is significant. It can be.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 19, a state immediately before the upright member 330 is housed between the arm member 320 and the front contact portion 324 will be described. 19A is a front view of the swing operation unit 300, FIG. 19B is a rear view of the swing operation unit 300, and FIG. 19C is a bottom view of the swing operation unit 300. FIG. FIGS. 19A to 19C show a state in which the arm member 320 is disposed at an intermediate position between the extended position and the retracted position. Specifically, the arm member is in the extended position. The state in which the protruding end side of the upright member 330 starts to be accommodated between the main body portion 321 and the front contact portion 324 of the arm member 320 is illustrated in the case of swinging from the retracted position to the retracted position.

  As shown in FIG. 19C, the front contact portion 324 is disposed on the front side of the upright member 330 (above FIG. 19C). Accordingly, even when the standing member 330 swings around the sliding ring portion 323 on the fulcrum when the arm member 320 is swung (FIG. 19 (c) swings up and down), the standing member 330 is brought into contact with the front contact portion 324. The wobbling of the standing member 330 can be suppressed.

  Here, the position A where the standing member 330 and the front contact portion 324 of the arm member 320 start to overlap in front view is higher than the lower edge B of the display area P (see FIG. 2) of the third symbol display device 81. Formed. Therefore, when the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position to the retracted position, the pre-stage where the wobbling of the upright member 330 becomes large (the stage where it is arranged inside the display area P of the third symbol display device 81). Thus, the movement trajectory of the standing member 330 and the front contact portion 324 can be overlapped in the front-rear direction, and the standing member 330 is brought into contact with the front contact portion 324 of the arm member 320 to suppress the wobbling of the standing member 330. it can.

  20 (a) to 20 (d) are diagrams illustrating the process of swinging the arm member 320 of the swing operation unit 300 from the retracted position to the extended position in time series. It is the partial front enlarged view of the rocking | fluctuation operation unit 300 in an end side. 20B shows a state in which the arm member 320 is swung by a predetermined amount from the retracted position to the extended position, and FIG. 20C shows the state from the state of FIG. The state in which the arm member 320 is swung by a predetermined amount toward the extended position is illustrated, and the cover member 370 is not illustrated in FIGS. 20 (a) to 20 (d).

  First, the case where the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position to the retracted position (posture change from FIG. 20D to FIG. 20A) will be described. The transmission device 350 meshed with the drive gear 341 is rotated by the rotation of the drive gear 341 of the drive device 340 (see FIG. 14) from the extended position of the arm member 320 shown in FIG. When the regulating sliding portion 351 of the device 350 pushes the release hole 325 of the arm member 320, the arm member 320 is moved via the states of FIG. 20C and FIG. 20 (a)). That is, when the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position to the retracted position, the arm member 320 is swung by the driving force of the driving device 340.

  In this case, since the arm member 320 is swung downward (see FIGS. 16 to 18), the required capacity of the driving device 340 can be suppressed. For example, if it is an electric motor, motor capacity can be suppressed.

  Further, in a state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the overhang position, the guide hole 315 and the standing hole 316 are extended vertically downward (see FIG. 18B). Thereby, the resistance given to the arm member 320 and the standing member 330 from the guide hole 315 and the standing hole 316 at the time of the start of swinging from the extended position can be suppressed.

  Next, the case where the arm member 320 is swung from the retracted position to the extended position (posture change from FIG. 20A to FIG. 20D) will be described. A biasing force of a torsion spring 360 is applied to the arm member 320. In a state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position (see FIG. 20A), the proximal end side arm portion 361 of the torsion spring 360 is pressed by the flange portion 317 of the base member 310 from the upper side, and the moving end side end portion 362 is pressed in the lower right direction by the protruding portion 327 of the arm member 320.

  As a result, the torsion spring 360 has the cylindrical portion 322 as a fulcrum and the distance between the base end side arm portion 361 and the moving end side arm portion 362 is shortened, and the torsion spring 360 is elastic in the direction in which the arm member 320 is lifted (upper left direction). The force is most accumulated. The swing of the arm member 320 due to the elastic force is restricted by the mechanical positional relationship between the release hole 325 of the arm member 320 and the transmission device 350. Hereinafter, the mechanical positional relationship between the release hole 325 and the transmission device 350 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 20A, when the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position, the direction X connecting the cylindrical portion 322 as the rotation shaft of the arm member 320 and the regulating sliding portion 351 of the transmission device 350 is The direction Y is perpendicular to the direction connecting the transmission shaft 313 of the base member 310 that pivotally supports the transmission device 350 and the regulating sliding portion 351 of the transmission device 350.

  In this case, the regulation sliding portion 351 can be positioned at the dead point in the relationship between the arm member 320 and the transmission device 350. Thereby, even if the driving force from the driving device 340 is not required, the arm member 320 can be mechanically held at the retracted position, so that the energy consumption of the driving device 340 can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, even when the arm member 320 is disposed at the extended position, the regulation sliding portion 351 is positioned at the dead point in the relationship between the arm member 320 and the transmission device 350. Thereby, even if the driving force from the driving device 340 is not required, the arm member 320 can be mechanically held at the extended position, so that the energy consumption of the driving device 340 can be suppressed.

  An operation mode of the driving device 340 when the arm member 320 is swung from the retracted position to the extended position will be described. First, from the state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position (see FIG. 20A), the drive device 340 is used to release the regulating sliding portion 351 from the dead center in the relationship between the arm member 320 and the transmission device 350. The drive gear 341 is rotated by a predetermined amount in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front (ON state). Then, the transmission device 350 meshed with the drive gear 341 is also rotated, and the regulation sliding portion 351 is released from the dead point in the relationship between the arm member 320 and the transmission device 350 (see FIG. 20B).

  Here, in the state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position, the torsion spring 360 has the distance between the proximal side arm portion 361 and the moving end side arm portion 362 reduced with the cylindrical portion 322 as a fulcrum. The elastic force in the direction of lifting the member 320 (upper left direction) is in the most accumulated state.

  From this state, when the regulating sliding portion 351 is released from the dead center in the relationship between the arm member 320 and the transmission device 350, the arm member 320 is swung by the elastic force of the torsion spring 360. As a result, the arm member 320 can be swung at a high speed from the start.

  For example, in a mode in which the driving force is gradually increased like a driving motor, it is difficult to apply a large driving force to the arm member 320 from the beginning, and the speed at the start of the arm member 320 tends to be slow. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since a large elastic force can be applied from the time of starting, a large acceleration at the time of starting of the arm member 320 can be ensured. Therefore, the arm member 320 can be swung at a high speed from the start.

  When the drive gear 341 is rotated by a predetermined amount, the drive device 340 is stopped (OFF state), and the drive gear 341 is allowed to idle. The arm member 320 is swung in the upward direction by the elastic force accumulated in the torsion spring 360 (see FIG. 20C).

  When the arm member 320 reaches the vicinity of the overhang position (see FIG. 20C), the drive gear 341 of the drive device 340 is again rotated by a predetermined amount clockwise (in an ON state), and the regulating sliding portion 351 is armed. It is arranged at the dead point in the relationship between the member 320 and the transmission device 350.

  That is, when the arm member 320 is swung from the retracted position toward the extended position, the driving force of the driving device 340 is not always generated in the arm member 320, but the arm member 320 is near the retracted position and the extended position. The drive device 340 is driven (ON state) only in the case of being disposed in the position, and the drive device 340 is stopped (OFF state) between the retracted position and the extended position. Thereby, compared with the case where the driving force of the constant drive device 340 is applied to the arm member 320, the period during which the drive device 340 is driven can be reduced, so that the life of the drive device 340 can be improved.

  As shown in FIGS. 20A and 20D, when the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position or the extended position, the regulation sliding portion 351 and the transmission shaft 313 that pivotally supports the transmission device 350 are connected. The direction orthogonal to the straight line and the extending direction of the release hole 325 are arranged to coincide.

  As a result, the rotation direction of the restricting sliding portion 351 coincides with the extending direction of the release hole 325 at the time of starting to rotate the arm member 320 from the state where it is arranged at the retracted position or the extended position. Sometimes, the resistance that the regulation sliding portion 351 receives from the release hole 325 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the driving force required at the start of the operation that requires the greatest force.

  Next, the first slide operation unit 400 will be described with reference to FIGS. 21A and 21B are front perspective views of the first slide operation unit 400. FIG. 21A shows a state in which the hanging member 430 and the tilting member 460 are arranged at the retracted position, and in FIG. 21B, the hanging member 430 and the tilting member 460 are arranged at the extended position. The resulting state is illustrated.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the suspension member 430 of the first slide operation unit 400 is slid from the retracted position in an obliquely downward direction (from the upper right to the lower left when viewed from the front), and the posture of the tilting member 460 is changed during the sliding movement. Change (tilts toward the overhang position). Next, the overall configuration of the first slide operation unit 400 will be described.

  FIG. 22 is an exploded front perspective view of the first slide operation unit 400, and FIG. 23 is an exploded rear perspective view of the first slide operation unit 400.

  As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, the first slide operation unit 400 includes a base member 410 formed in an L shape in front view, a cover member 420 attached to the base member 410 from the front side, and the cover member. Front-side substantially T-shaped suspension member 430 that is sandwiched between 420 and base member 410 and that is slid along the front side surface of base member 410, and a drive that slides the suspension member 430 A driving device 440 for generating a force, a long plate-like auxiliary member 450 whose one end is pivotally supported on the base end side of the suspension member 430 and the other end is coupled to the base member 410, The suspension member 430 mainly includes a tilting member 460 that is pivotally supported on the projecting end side that is the end opposite to the base end side, and a connecting member 470 that connects the auxiliary member 450 and the tilting member 460. Composed of Te.

  The base member 410 is a member that is formed in an L-shaped plate shape when viewed from the front and forms the skeleton of the first slide operation unit 400. A plate-like main body vertically long portion 412 extending vertically downward from the front, and a guide rib portion extending slightly inclined with respect to the left-right direction on the front side of the main body horizontal long portion 411 and projecting in a straight rib shape 413, an insertion hole 414 that is drilled in a substantially central portion of the main body laterally long portion and through which the drive shaft of the driving device 441 is inserted, and a lower portion of the main body longitudinally long portion 412 from the lower right to the upper left as viewed from the front It mainly includes a guide hole 415 formed in the shape of a long hole that extends, and a pair of rotating shafts 416 on which various gears of the driving device 440 are pivotally supported.

  The main body horizontally long portion 411 includes an outer frame 411a that protrudes in a wall shape toward the front side on the upper and left and right edges. The outer frame 411a is a portion where the cover member 420 is brought into contact with the front side, and is slightly longer than the length of the slide body 431 of the suspension member 430 in the thickness direction (the vertical direction of the slide plane of the suspension member 430). Long formed.

  The sliding plane of the suspension member 430 means a plane parallel to the front surface of the base member 410.

  The guide hole 415 extends from the lower right to the upper left of the base member 410.

  The cover member 420 is a member that is attached from the front side of the base member 410 and that forms a gap with the base member 410. The main body is formed in a plate shape that is substantially the same shape as the main body laterally long portion 411 in front view. It mainly includes a portion 421 and a communication hole 422 formed in a long hole shape along the direction in which the guide rib portion 413 of the base member 410 extends.

  Since the main body portion 421 is formed in substantially the same shape as the main body laterally long portion 411 of the base member 410, even if the suspension member 430 is slid in the front-rear direction, the suspension member 430 remains in the front-rear direction. Regardless of this, the contact area between the main body laterally long portion 411 of the base member 410 and the main body portion 421 of the cover member 420 can be ensured evenly.

  The suspension member 430 is a member that is disposed in a gap formed by the base member 410 and the cover member 420 and that is slid along the guide rib portion 413 of the base member 410. A rack gear is provided on the upper side surface. A horizontally long plate-shaped slide main body 431 to be engraved, a concave groove 432 which is recessed in the shape of a groove on the back side of the slide main body 431 and abuts against the guide rib 413 of the base member 410, and a slide A plate-like bent arm portion 433 that is suspended from the substantially central portion of the main body portion 431 and bent toward the protruding position in the middle, and a slide main body portion 431 at a portion where the bent arm portion 433 of the slide main body portion 431 starts to be suspended. A pivot shaft 434 that protrudes from the front side toward the front side, and a cylindrical hanging cylinder 435 that extends toward the front side at the tip (extended end) of the bent arm portion 433.

  The slide main body 431 is formed slightly thinner than the gap formed by the base member 410 and the cover member 420. Therefore, the suspension member 430 can slide between the base member 410 and the cover member 420 and is prevented from moving in the thickness direction (direction in which the cover member 420 is fastened to the base member 410).

  The concave groove 432 is a concave groove formed with a width slightly larger than the width of the guide rib portion 413, and the suspension member 430 slides obliquely downward as the concave groove 432 slides on the guide rib portion 413. Moved.

  The bent arm portion 433 extends along the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary member 450 in a state where the hanging member 430 is disposed in the extended position, and the base member 410 in a state where the hanging member 430 is disposed in the retracted position. A thickened portion 433a formed with an increased thickness on the front side is provided in a portion formed below the main body laterally long portion 411. The thickness of the bent arm 433 closer to the slide main body 431 than the thickened portion 433a is smaller than that of the slide main body 431 and the thickened portion 433a. Thereby, the bending arm part 433 is formed in such a manner that deformation in the thickness direction locally occurs at the bending arm part 433 on the slide body part 431 side with respect to the thickening part 433a. The thickness direction of the bent arm portion 433 is formed perpendicular to the direction in which the rack gear is engraved (slide direction).

  The swing shaft 434 is a shaft that extends through the communication hole 422 of the cover member 420 and projects to the front side of the cover member 420, and is inserted into the swing hole 452 of the auxiliary member 450.

  The suspension cylinder 435 extends beyond the thickness of the auxiliary member 450. Thereby, when the hanging member 430 is disposed at the retracted position (see FIGS. 21A and 25A), the auxiliary member 450 can be stored between the hanging member 430 and the tilting member 460. Become.

  The driving device 440 is a device in which each member is formed in such a manner that the base member 410 is sandwiched from the front and back, and generates a driving force necessary for the movement of the suspension member 430. A drive motor 441 having a drive shaft that passes therethrough, a drive gear 442 that is pivotally supported by the drive shaft of the drive motor 441 and disposed in front of the base member 410, and meshed with the drive gear 442 And a pair of transmission gears 443 respectively supported by the pair of rotating shafts 416.

  One of the pair of transmission gears 443 is engaged with a rack gear carved on the upper side surface of the slide main body 431 of the suspension member 430 (see FIG. 25). Therefore, when the drive gear 442 and the pair of transmission gears 443 are rotated by the driving force of the drive motor 441, the suspension member 430 engaged with the transmission gear 443 is slid.

  The auxiliary member 450 is a member disposed on the front side of the cover member 420, one end of which is pivotally supported by the suspension member 430 and the other end is slid into the guide hole 415 of the base member 410. A main body portion 451 that is connected to be formed in a long plate shape, a swing hole 452 that is formed in one end portion, a slide shaft 453 that protrudes in the back direction at the other end portion, And a suspension shaft 454 that protrudes from the intermediate position of the main body 451 in the back direction.

  The auxiliary member 450 is pivotally supported by the suspension member 430 and the other end thereof is slidably connected to the guide hole 415 of the base member 410 so that the auxiliary member 450 cannot move in the thickness direction (perpendicular to FIG. 25). Formed. Further, the auxiliary member 450 is formed so as to approach (swing) the tip of the thickened portion 433a of the bent arm portion 433 as the suspension member 430 slides to the retracted position. Thereby, even if the hanging member 430 wobbles in the thickness direction, the hanging member 430 can be prevented from wobbling by contacting the auxiliary member 450.

  The swing hole 452 is pivotally supported on the swing shaft 434 of the suspension member 430. Thereby, the auxiliary member 450 is formed so as to be swingable about the swing shaft 434. That is, as the suspension member 430 is slid, the auxiliary member 450 is swung (tilted) about the swing shaft 434.

  The slide shaft 453 is slidably connected to the guide hole 415 of the base member 410. As a result, the other end portion of the auxiliary member 450 (the lower right end portion in front view) is slid along the extending direction of the guide hole 415. When the suspension member 430 is disposed at the extended position (see FIG. 26), the slide shaft 453 is disposed at the upper end (left upper end) of the guide hole 415, and the suspension member 430 is at the retracted position (see FIG. 25). The slide shaft 453 is disposed at the lower end (lower right end) of the guide hole 415.

  The tilting member 460 is a member that is pivotally supported by the suspension cylinder 435 of the suspension member 430 and has an independent drive source (drive device 464), and is pivotally supported by the suspension member 430 and has a long plate shape. A base member 461 formed on the base member 461, a first cover member 462 that is fastened to the lower portion of the base member 461 from the front side and forms a gap between the base member 461, the first cover member 462, and the base member A transmission device 463 disposed in a gap formed between the transmission device 461, a drive device 464 that generates a driving force transmitted to the transmission device 463, and a longitudinal direction of the base member 461 connected to the transmission device 463. Moving base member 465 formed to be slidable in the direction, and a second cover disposed on the front side of the moving base member 465 and fastened and fixed to the moving base member 465 And wood 466, a mainly includes.

  The base member 461 is a member that is formed in a long plate shape, and projects from the back side in a columnar shape and is supported by a suspended shaft 461a that is fitted in the suspended cylinder 435 of the suspended member 430. A connecting shaft 461b provided side by side with the suspension shaft 461a, a storage portion 461c adjacent to the connection shaft 461b and having an opening directed to the back side, and a front above the storage portion 461c. It mainly includes a pair of rotating shafts 461d projecting on the side and a plurality of elongated slide holes 461e provided side by side along the longitudinal direction of the base member 461.

  The storage portion 461c forms a space for storing the drive device 464, and a hole through which the drive shaft 464a of the drive device 464 passes is formed at the bottom.

  The transmission device 463 includes a drive gear 463a that is pivotally supported by the drive shaft 464a, a pair of transmission gears 463b that are meshed with the drive gear 463a and are pivotally supported by the pair of rotation shafts 461d, and the pair of transmission gears. A crank pin 463c that mainly protrudes at a position eccentric from the transmission gear 463b disposed on the moving base member 465 side among the 463b is mainly provided.

  The crank pin 463c is rotated about the rotation shaft 461d as the drive gear 463a is rotated and the transmission gear 463b is rotated.

  The moving base member 465 is a member formed in a long plate shape, and a plurality of (three in the present embodiment) projecting from the back side and being inserted into the plurality of slide holes 461e, are posture maintaining pins 465a. And a long hole-like slide hole 465b extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and a pair of bulky upper portions 465c protruding from the front side.

  The slide hole 465b is connected to the crank pin 463c of the transmission gear 463b. Therefore, as the transmission gear 463b is rotated and the position of the crank pin 463c is changed, the moving base member 465 moves along the extending direction of the slide hole 461e. The slide is moved.

  The second cover member 466 includes a pair of fastening portions 466a fastened and fixed to the pair of bulky portions 465c. Therefore, in a state where the second cover member 466 is fastened to the moving base member 465, the second cover member 466 is also slid as the moving base member 465 is slid.

  The connecting member 470 connects the auxiliary member 450 and the tilting member 460 and is formed of a resin material. The connecting member 470 is formed in the upper end portion and pivoted on the suspension shaft 454 of the auxiliary member 450. A suspension hole 471 that is supported, and a cylindrical portion 472 that is formed in a cylindrical shape at the lower end portion and that is pivotally supported on the connecting shaft 461b of the tilting member 460 so as to be swingable.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 24, a driving mode of the tilting member 460 will be described. FIG. 24 is a front view of the first slide operation unit 400 in a state where the suspension member 430 is disposed at the extended position. A state in which the first cover member 466 is slid obliquely upward is illustrated by a broken line, and the cover member 420 is partially omitted.

  The tilting member 460 of the first slide operation unit 400 is driven by the driving device 464 (see FIG. 23), so that the second cover member 466 is slid, and the outer shape of the tilting member 460 in front view (see FIG. 24). It is possible to produce an effect that changes.

  Here, since the tilting member 460 is pivotally supported on the distal end side of the bending arm portion 433 of the suspension member 430, vibration and wobble are likely to occur when the outer shape of the tilting member 460 changes. In this embodiment, since there are a plurality of configurations that suppress the vibration and wobble, this will be described below.

  With reference to FIG. 25, the structure of the 1st slide operation unit 400 in the state (refer FIG. 21A) in which the suspending member 430 is arrange | positioned in the retracted position is demonstrated in detail. FIG. 25A is a front view of the first slide operation unit 400, and FIG. 25B is a rear view of the first slide operation unit 400. 25A and 25B show a state in which the suspension member 430 is disposed at the upper end position (retraction position) of the moving path on which the sliding movement is performed, and the cover member 420 is partially illustrated. Omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 25A, the auxiliary member 450 and the tilting member 460 that are pivotally supported by the hanging member 430 are arranged in the third symbol display device 81 (FIG. 2) to the right outside of the display area P.

  At this time, the auxiliary member 450 is housed in a position on the front side of the hanging member 430 and the back side of the tilting member 460. That is, since the suspension member 430, the auxiliary member 450, and the tilting member 460 are stacked in the thickness direction (FIG. 25A, the direction perpendicular to the paper surface), the suspension member 430, the auxiliary member 450, and the tilting member 460 are viewed in the thickness direction. It can arrange | position compactly compared with the total area of each member in. Therefore, the space on the right outside of the display area P of the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 2) can be suppressed, and the display area P can be secured large.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 25, most of the bent arm portion 433 of the suspension member 430 is housed between the base member 410 and the cover member 420, and a base is provided on the back surface of the overhang end side (front end side). A main body vertically long portion 412 of the member 410 is disposed. Thereby, wobbling in the thickness direction of the suspension member 430 at the retracted position can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the auxiliary member 450 is pivotally supported by a swing shaft 434 formed near the bent arm portion 433 of the suspension member 430, and the suspension member 430 is disposed at the extended position. In this case, the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary member 450 is formed along the extending direction of the bent arm portion 433, and the auxiliary member 450 increases in the number of the bent arm portion 433 as the suspension member 430 slides from the retracted position to the extended position. It is formed so as to approach (swing) the tip of the thick portion 433a.

  Therefore, compared to the case where the suspension member 430 is disposed at the overhanging position, the amount of protrusion (the overhanging length) from the auxiliary member 450 to the distal end of the thickened portion 433a of the bent arm portion 433 is greater when the suspension member 430 is disposed at the overhanging position. Is shortened. Accordingly, even when the hanging member 430 is wobbled by driving the tilting member 460, the length from the contact position between the hanging member 430 and the auxiliary member 450 to the tip of the hanging member 430 is formed short. Therefore, wobbling in the thickness direction of the suspension member 430 at the retracted position (wobble at the tip of the bent arm portion 433) can be suppressed.

  Here, the sliding movement of the suspension member 430 will be described. Since the suspension member 430 sandwiches the guide rib portion 413 of the base member 410 with a recessed groove 432 (see FIG. 23) formed on the back side, the suspension member 430 is slid along the extending direction of the guide rib portion 413. As described above, the guide rib portion 413 extends in a straight line from a diagonally downward direction (from the upper right in FIG. 25 (a) to the lower left in FIG. 25 (a)).

  The sliding movement of the suspension member 430 occurs when the driving force of the driving device 440 is transmitted. For example, when the suspension member 430 is slid from the retracted position to the extended position, the drive gear 442 is driven by the driving force of the drive motor 441 from the state where the suspension member 430 is disposed at the retracted position (see FIG. 25). Is rotated clockwise, the pair of transmission gears 443 are rotated by the rotation, and the rack gear engaged with one of the pair of transmission gears 443 (left side in FIG. 25A) is moved. The suspension member 430 provided with the rack gear on the upper surface side is slid to the extended position.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 26, the configuration of the first slide operation unit 400 in a state where the hanging member 430 is disposed at the extended position (see FIG. 21B) will be described in detail. FIG. 26A is a front view of the first slide operation unit 400, and FIG. 26B is a rear view of the first slide operation unit 400. 26A and 26B show a state in which the suspension member 430 is disposed at the lower end position (extension position) of the moving path on which the sliding movement is performed, and the cover member 420 is partially illustrated. Is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (a), the lower end (left lower end in FIG. 26 (a)) of the slide main body 431 in the moving direction is the outer frame of the base member 410 in the state where the suspension member 430 is disposed at the extended position. 411a is contacted. Further, as described above, the suspension member 430 moves downward toward the extended position. Therefore, even if the transmission of the driving force of the drive device 440 to the suspension member 430 is canceled, the position of the suspension member 430 is changed. It can be reliably maintained in the overhang position.

  For example, when the direction of the sliding movement of the suspension member 430 is the horizontal direction, even if the suspension member 430 is arranged at the extension position, no gravity is applied to the direction of the slide movement. It is necessary to add another force to maintain the position.

  On the other hand, according to the suspension member 430 of the present embodiment, even if the transmission of the driving force of the drive device 440 to the suspension member 430 is canceled, the force component of gravity is applied in the direction of slide movement. The lower member 430 can be maintained in the overhang position. Therefore, power consumption of the driving device 440 can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 26, when the suspension member 430 is disposed at the extended position, the suspension member 430 is retracted in the portion where the bent arm portion 433 is accommodated between the base member 410 and the cover member 420. It becomes smaller than the case where it is arranged at the position (see FIG. 25B). Therefore, it is difficult to suppress wobbling of the bent arm portion 433 in the thickness direction of the suspension member 430 by the base member 410 and the cover member 420.

  On the other hand, the base side of the bent arm portion 433 is extended toward the extending direction of the auxiliary member 450 (the lower left direction in FIG. 26B) in a state where the hanging member 430 is disposed at the protruding position. Thereby, when the suspending member 430 is disposed at the extended position, the overlapping area of the auxiliary member 450 and the bent arm portion 433 in the thickness direction of the suspending member 430 is formed wide.

  As described above, the auxiliary member 450 is formed to be separated from the bent arm portion 433 of the suspension member 430 by the thickness of the cover member 420 and the bent arm portion 433 is staggered in the thickness direction of the suspension member 430. It is formed so that it can contact | abut. Since the thin portion (the portion closer to the slide body 431 than the thickened portion 433a) of the bent arm portion 433 is formed so as to protrude from the base member 410 and the cover member 420 in a state where the suspension member 430 is disposed at the extended position. The wobbling of the bent arm portion 433 of the suspension member 430 due to the driving of the tilting member 460 can be easily caused in the thickness direction (the wobbling in the thickness direction is dominant). Thereby, the wobbling of the suspension member 430 in the sliding direction can be suppressed.

  Further, a thin portion of the bent arm portion 433 (a portion closer to the slide main body 431 than the thickened portion 433a) is a short direction (slide) of the slide main body 431 that is slid between the base member 410 and the cover member 420. In a direction perpendicular to the direction). As a result, the wobbling caused by driving the tilting member 460 can be absorbed by the bending of the bending arm 433, and the slide main body 431 can be prevented from wobbling in the thickness direction (perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 26). it can. Thereby, it can suppress that the slide main-body part 431 is pressed on the base member 410 and the cover member 420, and can suppress the abrasion of the slide main-body part 431 in the thickness direction.

  For example, it is also conceivable that an arm portion having a thickness equivalent to that of the slide main body portion 431 is extended toward the short direction of the slide main body portion 431 and the tip end side of the arm portion is formed thin. However, in this case, even if the thin portion absorbs the deflection, the arm portion having the same thickness as the slide main body portion 431 wobbles, and the wobble of the arm portion is transmitted to the slide main body portion 431. There is a risk that the slide main body 431 may become wobbled.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the thickness of the bent arm portion 433 extending from the slide main body portion 431 is thinned, the wobble generated at the tip of the bent arm portion 433 is used for bending of the thin thickness portion. The effect of preventing the portion 431 from wobbling can be made remarkable.

  FIG. 27 is a sectional view of the first slide operation unit 400 taken along line XXVII-XXVII in FIG. As shown in FIG. 27, the bent arm portion 433 includes a thickened portion 433a that is thickened toward the auxiliary member 450. Therefore, when the bent arm portion 433 wobbles in the thickness direction of the suspension member 430, the wobbling occurs. The bending arm 433 can be easily brought into contact with the auxiliary member 450 from when the amplitude of is small.

  Returning to FIG. Since the auxiliary member 450 is connected to the swing shaft 434 of the suspension member 430 and the guide hole 415 of the base member 410, movement in the thickness direction is restricted. Therefore, the auxiliary member 450 serves as a stopper that blocks the bent arm portion 433 of the suspension member 430 from moving toward the front side. Thereby, the wobble to the thickness direction of the suspension member 430 when the suspension member 430 is arrange | positioned in the overhang | projection position can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (a), when the suspension member 430 is disposed at the extended position, the lower end of the tilting member 460 is lower than the lower end of the display area P of the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 2). It is arranged slightly above. Here, when the tilting member 460 does not change its posture with respect to the hanging member 430 (when it is fixed), the hanging member 430 is slid down and tilted toward the extended position. Therefore, in order to arrange the lower end of the tilting member 460 at the same position as the lower end of the tilting member 460 of the present embodiment in a state where the hanging member 430 is arranged at the extended position, the hanging member 430 is arranged at the retracted position. In this case, the tilting member 460 needs to be disposed at a position offset upward by a distance L1 corresponding to the downward tilt.

  Therefore, an extra space on the right outside of the display area P of the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 2) is required, or the design freedom of the size of the tilting member 460 is reduced.

  However, in this embodiment, as the suspension member 430 moves toward the extended position, the tilting member 460 is changed in posture in a manner of being lifted by the connecting member 470 connected to the auxiliary member 450, and the lower end of the tilting member 460 is suspended. Lifted relative to member 430. Accordingly, the lower end position of the tilting member 460 when the hanging member 430 is disposed at the retracted position (see FIG. 25A) and the case where the hanging member 430 is disposed at the extended position (FIG. 26A The lower end position of the tilting member 460 in FIG. 25) is positioned at substantially the same height (the vertical direction in FIGS. 25 and 26).

  Therefore, when the suspending member 430 is disposed at the retracted position, it is not necessary to dispose the tilting member 460 at a position offset upward by the distance L1 corresponding to the descending tilt, and to the right of the display area P of the third symbol display device 81 The outer space can be used effectively, and the degree of freedom in designing the size of the tilting member 460 can be improved.

  Here, the center of gravity of the tilting member 460 is formed on the lower end side where the driving device 464 is disposed. Therefore, when the lower end side of the tilting member 460 is lifted and tilted, the position of the center of gravity of the tilting member 460 is moved upward. Therefore, since the distance from the upper edge of the display area P of the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81 (refer FIG. 2) used as the fulcrum of the hanging member 430 to the gravity center of the tilting member 460 is shortened, the hanging member The wobbling of the bent arm portion 433 in the thickness direction of 430 can be suppressed.

  Further, since the tilting member 460 has a center of gravity formed in the vicinity of the driving device 464 (see FIG. 22), a force R in the rotational direction about the suspended cylinder 435 is applied downward by gravity. With this force R, the auxiliary member 450 is pulled by the connecting member 470. At that time, the slide shaft 453 of the auxiliary member 450 receives a force in a direction along the width direction of the guide hole 415. Therefore, since the frictional force between the slide shaft 453 and the guide hole 415 can be improved and the sliding movement of the auxiliary member 450 can be prevented, the wobbling of other members connected to the auxiliary member 450 can be suppressed. it can.

  As described above, the lower end side of the tilting member 460 is connected to the connecting member 470 that is pivotally supported by the auxiliary member 450. As a result, resistance to wobbling that occurs when the tilting member 460 is driven is generated from the suspension member 430 and the auxiliary member 450, so that wobbling of the tilting member 460 can be suppressed. That is, when the tilting member 460 is connected only to the suspension member 430, all vibrations and wobbles generated by the tilting member 460 are transmitted to the suspension member 430, but in this embodiment, the vibrations and wobbles of the tilting member 460 are suppressed. The suspension member 430 and the connecting member 470 can be transmitted separately. Thereby, it is not necessary to set the rigidity of the suspension member 430 and the connection member 470 excessively, and the design freedom of the suspension member 430 and the connection member 470 can be improved.

  Next, the reversing operation unit 500 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 28 is a front perspective view of the reversing operation unit 500. FIG. 28 shows a closed state in which the reflecting members 520 are in contact with each other in the rotational direction. The reversing operation unit 500 is configured to be able to form a closed state (see FIG. 28) and an open state (see FIG. 33B) by rotating the reflecting member 520. Next, the overall configuration of the reversing operation unit 500 will be described.

  FIG. 29 is an exploded front perspective view of the reversing operation unit 500, and FIG. 30 is an exploded rear perspective view of the reversing operation unit 500.

  As shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the reversing operation unit 500 includes a frame-shaped base member 510 that forms a skeleton, a reflecting member 520 that is pivotally supported by the shaft supporting grooves 512 a and 513 a of the base member 510, and a reflection thereof. A first lid member 530 having a shaft support hole 531 into which the rotation shaft 522 of the member 520 is fitted, and a second lid member 540 attached to the second wall portion 513 of the base member 510 on the driving portion side of the reflection member 520. The transmission member 550 engraved with the first rack gear 553 meshed with the rotation gear 523 of the reflection member 520, the drive device 560 that generates a drive force for moving the transmission member 550, and the transmission of the drive device 560 And a cover member 570 that is disposed on the back side of the gear group 562 and is fastened and fixed to the base member 510.

  The base member 510 has a rectangular opening at the center and a bottom surface portion 511 formed in a plane frame shape, and extends vertically from the right end of the bottom surface portion 511 toward the front side and the back side of the bottom surface portion 511. A first wall portion 512 and a second wall portion 513 extending vertically from the left end of the bottom surface portion 511 toward the front side of the bottom surface portion 511. Note that the opening of the bottom surface portion 511 is an opening for disposing a base (not shown) having a light source such as an LED, and light is irradiated from the light source toward the reflecting member 520 in the assembled state (see FIG. 28). The

  The bottom surface portion 511 includes a long hole-like slide hole 511a that guides the transmission member 550 and extends in the vertical direction at the right side portion of the bottom surface portion 511 in the rear view (see FIG. 30).

  The slide holes 511a are formed by arranging a plurality (four in this embodiment) in the vertical direction (the vertical direction in FIG. 30) of the bottom surface portion 511 in a manner in which the extending directions coincide with each other, and are formed at both upper and lower ends. The slide hole 511a is a long hole extending from the lower end of the slide hole 511a in the extending direction of the slide hole 511a and is narrower than the slide hole 511a and guides the rib portion 555 of the transmission member 550. Rib portion slide holes 511b are formed.

  Further, the bottom surface portion 511 includes a rotation shaft 511c on which a plurality of projections are provided toward the back side below the opening and on which the transmission gear group 562 of the driving device 560 is supported.

  The first wall portion 512 is a groove that is cut in a U shape from the front side to the back side, and a plurality of shaft support grooves 512a having a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft portion of the reflecting member are formed. In addition, the arrangement | positioning space | interval of the shaft support groove | channel 512a is equal intervals, and is formed in the space | interval shorter than the width dimension (rotation axis direction view longitudinal dimension) of the reflection member 520.

  The second wall portion 513 is disposed opposite to the shaft support groove 512a and has a plurality of shaft support grooves 513a formed in the same manner as the shaft support groove 512a, and an adjacent shaft support among the plurality of shaft support grooves 513a. And an extending portion 513b that is formed between the grooves 513a and extends from the outer wall surface of the second wall portion 513 toward the front side (the front side in FIG. 29).

  The extending portion 513b is formed in a stepped shape in which the width dimension (dimension in the vertical direction in FIG. 29) decreases toward the front side. In the assembled state (see FIG. 28), the positioning protruding portion 543 of the second lid member 540 is formed. Fitted.

  The reflecting member 520 is a member that changes the traveling direction of light emitted from the light source. The reflecting member 520 is in a straight line from the long plate-like main body 521 formed of an opaque resin material and the left and right ends of the main body 521. A pair of rotating shafts 522 projecting from each other, and a rotating gear 523 that is fastened with the shafts aligned with the rotating shaft 522 of the pair of rotating shafts 522 on which the transmission member 550 is disposed. Prepare.

  The main body portion 521 includes a chamfered portion 521a (see FIG. 34) formed by chamfering on the end surface in the width direction.

  The rotation shaft 522 is formed at the center position of the main body 521 in the width direction (vertical direction in FIG. 29). In addition, the rotation shaft 522 on the side where the transmission member 550 is disposed of the pair of rotation shafts 522 is elongated so that the second wall portion is interposed between the rotation gear 523 and the main body 521. 513 is formed so that it can be disposed.

  The rotation gear 523 includes expansion teeth 523a that are connected to adjacent teeth and that are longer in diameter than the other teeth. The overexpanding of the reflecting member 520 can be prevented by the expansion teeth 523a.

  The first lid member 530 is a long plate-like member fastened and fixed from the thickness direction of the first wall portion 512 (the left-right direction in FIG. 29), and a plurality of shafts through which the rotation shaft 522 of the reflection member 520 is inserted. A portion extending vertically to the first wall portion 512 along the front surface (front surface in FIG. 29) of the first lid member 530 and the front side of the plurality of shaft support holes 531 An extending lid portion 532 (see FIG. 31) having an end surface circumscribing the edge of the.

  Here, for example, when the first lid member 530 is fastened and fixed from the front side of the first wall portion 512, the first wall portion 512 needs to have a thickness greater than the diameter of the head of the fastening screw. In this case, as in the present embodiment, when the reversal operation unit 500 is adjacent to the outer edge of the display area P (see FIG. 2) of the third symbol display device 81 with the first wall portion 512 interposed therebetween, the first wall The thickness of the part 512 becomes an obstacle, and it is difficult to make the reversing operation unit 500 and the effect of the display area P (see FIG. 2) of the third symbol display device 81 visible as a unit.

  On the other hand, since the first lid member 530 is fastened and fixed from the thickness direction of the first wall portion 512 (the left-right direction in FIG. 29), the thickness of the right wall of the reflecting member 520 is set regardless of the diameter of the head of the fastening screw. Can be thinned. Therefore, the thickness of the first wall portion 512 does not get in the way, and the reversing operation unit 500 and the effect in the display area P (see FIG. 2) of the third symbol display device 81 can be easily seen as one unit. The effect can be improved.

  Note that at least two assembling methods can be performed for assembling the base member 510, the reflecting member 520, and the first lid member 530. For example, first, there is a method in which the first lid member 530 is fastened and fixed to the base member 510 in a state where the rotation shaft 522 of the reflecting member 520 is fitted in the shaft support grooves 512 a and 513 a of the base member 510. With this method, the reflecting member 520 can be inserted through the shaft support hole 531 of the first lid member 530 at a time.

  Second, in the state in which the first lid member 530 is fastened and fixed to the base member 510 first, the rotating shaft 522 opposite to the drive portion side of the reflecting member 520 is connected to the shaft support hole 531 of the first lid member 530. There is a method in which the rotation shaft 522 on the drive unit side is fitted into the shaft support groove 513a of the second wall portion 512 after being inserted in an oblique direction (a direction from the front side toward the diagonally right back).

  With reference to FIG. 31, the fitting relationship between the shaft support groove 512a of the first wall portion 512, the first lid member 530, and the reflection member 520 will be described. FIG. 31A is a partial side view of the reversing operation unit 500, and FIG. 31B is a partial cross-sectional view of the reversing operation unit 500 taken along the line XXXIB-XXXIb of FIG. FIG. 31A illustrates a side surface on the side where the first lid member 530 is fastened.

  As shown in FIG. 31A, the depth of the shaft support groove 512 a of the first wall portion 512 is formed to be substantially the same as the diameter of the rotation shaft 522 of the reflection member 520. Therefore, for example, even if the shaft support hole 531 is not formed in the first lid member 530, the reflecting member 520 has the shaft support groove 512 a of the first wall portion 512 and the extended lid portion 532 of the first lid member 530. And is pivotally supported.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the depth of the shaft support groove 512a of the first wall portion 512 and the diameter of the shaft support hole 531 of the first lid member 530 are formed to be the same. Therefore, as described above, the rotating shaft 522 of the reflecting member 520 is pivotally supported between the pivot groove 512a of the first wall portion 512 and the extended lid portion 532 of the first lid member 530, and the first lid. It is also supported by the shaft support hole 531 of the member 530 (see FIG. 31B).

  Therefore, a large area for supporting the rotating shaft 522 of the reflecting member 520 can be ensured. This is particularly effective in the configuration of the present embodiment in which the thickness of the first wall portion 512 is suppressed by fastening and fixing the first lid member 530 to the first wall portion 512 from the right side.

  That is, since the thickness of the first wall portion 512 is suppressed, it may be difficult to ensure a sufficient area of the shaft support groove 512a that supports the reflection member 520 as it is. Therefore, a shaft support hole 531 is formed in the first lid member 530, and the reflection member 520 is also supported by the shaft support hole 531. Thereby, the space which the 1st cover member 530 and the 1st wall part 512 occupy for the axial direction of the reflective member 520 can be utilized effectively, and the area which pivotally supports the reflective member 520 can fully be ensured.

  Returning to FIG. The second lid member 540 is a member for pivotally supporting the drive portion side of the reflecting member 520 to the base member 510, and is a long plate-like base member 541 disposed on the most front side, and the base member 541. Projecting toward the back side and extending in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 30), and projecting in such a manner that the extended shaft support 542 and the base member 541 are connected to each other. Positioning protrusions 543.

  With reference to FIG. 32, the engagement between the second lid member 540 and the base member 510 will be described. 32A is a partial front view of the reversing operation unit 500, and FIG. 32B is a partial cross-sectional view of the reversing operation unit 500 taken along the line XXXIIb-XXXIIb in FIG. 32A. FIG. 32C is a partial cross-sectional view of the inversion operation unit 500 taken along the line XXXIIc-XXXIIc of FIG. 32B, and FIG. 32D is a part of the inversion operation unit 500 taken along the line XXXIId-XXXIId of FIG. It is sectional drawing.

  As shown in FIG. 32 (b), the plurality of positioning protrusions 543 of the second lid member 540 are respectively fitted between the adjacent extending portions 513 b of the base member 510. Thus, the second lid member 540 can be accurately aligned with respect to the base member 510 in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 32B).

  Here, since the second wall portion 513 is formed in a long plate shape, the rigidity in the thickness direction tends to be low, and the second wall portion 513 is bent in the thickness direction so that the reflecting member 520 is axially moved. May be applied, and the rotation of the reflecting member 520 may be hindered.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 32 (c), in the present embodiment, the extending shaft support portion 542 of the second lid member 540 is contacted from the thickness direction of the extending portion 513b of the base member 510 (FIG. Touched. Thereby, the rigidity of the thickness direction of the 2nd wall part 513 can be improved.

  The end portion of the extending shaft support portion 542 of the second lid member 540 in the extending direction is in contact with the end portion of the base member 510 where the shaft support groove 513a is formed, and the open end of the shaft support groove 513a is closed ( (See FIG. 32D). Thereby, the rotating shaft 522 of the reflecting member 520 is pivotally supported by the hole formed by the pivotal support groove 513a and the extended pivotal support portion 542 of the second lid member 540 (see FIG. 32B).

  Returning to FIG. The transmission member 550 is a member for transmitting the driving force of the driving device 560 to the reflection member 520, and is formed in a long plate shape and is in contact with the back surface of the bottom surface portion 511 of the base member 510. 551, an elongated plate-shaped extending wall portion 552 extending from the end surface of the main body portion 551 (the left end surface in FIG. 29) to the front side, and an end surface on the front side of the extending wall portion 552 intermittently. A first rack gear 553 that is engraved and meshed with the rotary gear 523 of the reflecting member 520, and a plurality (four in this embodiment) are disposed on the front side of the main body 551, and the base member 510 slides. A slide shaft 554 connected to the hole 511a, and a rib portion slide hole 511b (see FIG. 30) of the base member 510 that extends downward from the upper and lower slide shafts 554 of the slide shafts 554. It includes a rib portion 555 which is protruded in a small width dimension slightly larger than the width dimension, a second rack gear 556 which is meshed with the transmission gear group of the driving device 560 while being engraved on the side surface of the main body portion 551, a.

  In the first rack gear 553, a plurality of tooth groups in which four teeth are continuously arranged are arranged with an interval slightly shorter than an interval when one tooth is omitted. This space that is spaced can prevent over-rotation of the rotating gear 523 of the reflecting member 520, but will be described in detail later.

  The drive device 560 is a device that generates a drive force, and is engaged with a drive gear 561 that is pivotally supported by the drive shaft, a gear meshed with the drive gear 561, and the second rack gear 556 of the transmission member 550. A transmission gear group 562 that meshes with the plurality of rotation shafts 511c.

  When the driving gear 561 of the driving device 560 is rotated, the transmission gear group 562 is rotated and the driving force of the driving device 560 is transmitted to the transmission member 550 via the second rack gear 556. The transmission member 550 is slid in the extending direction of the slide hole 511a of the base member 510 by the driving force of the driving device 560. Since the first rack gear 553 of the transmission member 550 is meshed with the rotation gear 523 of the reflection member 520, the reflection member 520 is rotated about the rotation shaft 522 as the transmission member 550 is slid.

  33 (a), 33 (b), and 33 (c) are partial front views of the reversing operation unit 500 illustrating the rotation operation of the reflecting member 520 in time series, and FIG. 33 (d) and FIG. FIG. 33E and FIG. 33F are partial side views of the reversing operation unit 500 illustrating the rotation operation of the reflecting member 520 in time series. FIG. 34 illustrates the reflecting member 520 in the posture of FIG. It is a partial side view of a transmission member 550.

  33, illustration of the second lid member 540 is omitted, and FIGS. 33 (a) and 33 (d) show a state in which the main body portions 521 of the reflecting member 520 are in contact with each other (closed state). 33 (b) and 33 (e) illustrate a state in which the reflecting member 520 has been rotated a predetermined amount from the state of FIGS. 33 (a) and 33 (d) (open state), and FIG. 33 (f) and 33 (f), the reflecting member 520 is directed to the front side opposite to the surface facing the front side in FIGS. 33 (a) and 33 (d), and the main body of the reflecting member 520 is provided. A state (closed state) in which 521 are brought into contact with each other is illustrated.

  As shown in FIG. 33 (d), in the closed state, the rotation gear 523 of the reflection member 520 is engaged with the first rack gear 553 of the transmission member 550, and the rotation is restricted.

  The rotation operation of the reflecting member 520 will be described. When the first rack gear 553 of the transmission member 550 is slid upward (leftward in FIG. 33 (d)) by the driving device 560 (see FIG. 29) from the state of FIG. 33 (d), the rotating gear 523 of the reflecting member 520 is moved. Is rotated, the main body 521 of the reflecting member 520 is rotated (see FIG. 33E). Further, when the first rack gear 553 is slid to the left, the reflecting member 520 is rotated until the surfaces in the thickness direction come into contact with each other, and the transmission member 550 is stopped (see FIG. 33F).

  Here, at the end position of the sliding movement of the transmission member 550, the reflecting member 520 is brought into contact with the end portion to correct the posture (see FIG. 34). Therefore, even if the rotation gear 523 of the reflection member 520 and the first rack gear 553 of the transmission member 550 are not meshed with high accuracy, the posture of the reflection member 520 in a state where the transmission member 550 is disposed at the end position of the slide movement. Can be stabilized.

  In the closed state, the reflecting member 520 abuts the end of the main body 521 in the thickness direction. At this time, since the region between the first wall portion 512 and the second wall portion 513 of the base member 510 is closed by the reflecting member 520, the light emitted from the light source can be blocked by the reflecting member 520. it can.

  Here, suppression of light leakage can also be achieved by, for example, sliding a plate-shaped shutter member and disposing the shutter member between the light irradiated to the player and the player. In this case, when the shutter member is fully opened, the player can visually recognize the entire light emitted to the player. However, in the middle of the sliding movement of the shutter member from the state where the shutter member is disposed between the light irradiated to the player and the player, the light overlapping the shutter member cannot be visually recognized. That is, the period until the player visually recognizes the entire light becomes longer.

  On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the reflection member 520 allows light irradiated to the player to pass through by rotating the reflection member 520 from the closed state while suppressing light leakage in the closed state. Here, the plurality of reflecting members 520 can have the same role as the single shutter member described above as an example. That is, each reflecting member 520 can be formed smaller than the shutter member. Therefore, compared with the case where the shutter member is slid, the time until the player visually recognizes the entire light can be shortened when the reflecting member 520 is rotated.

  In the present embodiment, the light source formed on the back side of the reflecting member is reduced by rotating the reflecting member 520 to reduce the area occupied by the reflecting member 520 in the front view (see FIG. 32A). Can be visually recognized. Therefore, it is possible to save the installation space of the reflection operation unit 500.

  The chamfered portions 521a are in contact with each other in the closed state of the reflecting member 520 (see FIG. 34). Thereby, the space | interval of the thickness direction of the reflection members 520 in the thickness direction can be shortened, and the surface formed with the some reflection member 520 can be planarized more.

  For example, when a pattern that is recognized as a single unit on the surface in the thickness direction of the plurality of reflecting members 520 is formed on the surface in the thickness direction of the plurality of reflecting members 520, the boundary between the adjacent reflecting members 520 is made inconspicuous, Can be suppressed. Therefore, the pattern can be recognized more beautifully.

  The distance from the rotation shaft 522 of the reflection member 520 to the outer end of the expansion tooth 523a is longer than the distance from the rotation shaft 522 to the main body 551 of the transmission member 550. Therefore, if the rotation gear 523 is to be rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 33 (d) from the state of FIG. 33 (a), the expansion teeth 523a are blocked by the main body portion 551 and cannot be rotated. Thereby, the overrotation of the reflection member 520 can be prevented, and it is possible to prevent the reflection member 520 from being damaged due to excessive pressure generated on the contact surface of the reflection member 520.

  Further, as described above, the first rack gear 553 is arranged with a gap slightly shorter than the interval when the tooth group in which the four teeth are continuously provided omits one tooth, FIG. ), When the rotation gear 523 of the reflecting member 520 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 33 (f), the distance between the teeth of the rotation gear 523 formed between the teeth of the first rack gear 553 of the transmission member 550. Get stuck. In this case, the rotation gear 523 cannot be rotated any further. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reflecting member 520 from being damaged at the chamfered portion 521a that is the contact surface due to the excessive rotation of the reflecting member 520.

Next, the second slide operation unit 700 will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 to 42. FIG. 35A and FIG. 35B are front perspective views of the second slide operation unit 700. 35A shows a state in which the pair of first slide members 720 and the pair of second slide members 740 are disposed at the retracted position, and FIG. 35B shows the pair of first slide members 720. In addition, a state in which the pair of second slide members 740 are disposed at the extended position (the front side of the display area P of the third symbol display device 81, see FIG. 2) is illustrated.

  In the second slide operation unit 700, the pair of first slide members 720 and the pair of second slide members 740 project to the front side of the display area P (see FIG. 2) of the third symbol display device 81, so that the display area P is formed so as to be divided into a lattice shape. Next, the overall configuration of the second slide operation unit 700 will be described.

  36 and 37 are exploded front perspective views of the second slide operation unit 700, and FIGS. 38 and 39 are exploded rear perspective views of the second slide operation unit 700. FIG. 36 and 38, the base member 710 and the member disposed on the front side of the base member 710 are illustrated in an exploded state. In FIGS. 37 and 39, the base member 710 and the back surface of the base member 710 are illustrated. The state in which the member disposed on the side is disassembled is shown.

  As shown in FIGS. 36 to 39, the second slide operation unit 700 has a rectangular plate-shaped base member having a rectangular opening forming a display area P (see FIG. 2) of the third symbol display device 81 in the center. 710, a first slide shaft bar S1 that is fixed to the base member 710 at a predetermined distance from the front surface of the base member 710 and that has a longitudinal direction coinciding with the horizontal direction, and slides along the first slide shaft bar S1. A pair of first slide members 720 that are moved, and a front side cover member 730 that is fastened and fixed to the base member 710 from the front side of the pair of first slide members 720 and that is formed as a pair of upper and lower sides. Prepare.

  The second slide operation unit 700 is fixed to the base member 710 at a predetermined distance from the back surface of the base member 710, and has a second slide shaft bar S2 whose longitudinal direction matches the vertical direction, and its second slide shaft. A pair of second slide members 740 that are slid along the rod S2, a transmission device 750 in which a plurality of gears engaged with the second slide members 740 are disposed, and a pair of second slide members 740 And the back side cover member 760 which is fastened and fixed to the base member 710 from the back side of the transmission device 750 and is formed on the left and right and the top, and the first slide member 720 and the back side cover member 760 which are disposed on the back side cover member 760 And a driving device 770 for generating a driving force for slidingly moving the second slide member 740.

  As shown in FIG. 36, the first slide member 720 is composed of a pair of members having substantially the same shape, so one side (left side in FIG. 36) will be described here, and the other description will be omitted.

  The first slide member 720 includes a main body 721 formed in an L-shaped plate shape when viewed from the front, a cart 722 fastened and fixed to the main body 721, and extends downward from the lower end of the cart 722. And a decoration unit 723.

  The main body portion 721 is formed in a long plate shape extending in the left-right direction, and a rack portion 721a in which a rack gear is engraved on the upper surface, and is provided continuously below the rack portion 721a and the rack portion 721a. A plate-shaped carriage receiving portion 721b disposed on the left side of the front view.

  The trolley part 722 is fastened and fixed to the back side of the trolley receiving part 721b with the left end aligned with the left end of the trolley receiving part 721b. The trolley part 722 is disposed on the inside of the trolley body part 722a and a trolley body part 722a formed in a U-shaped cross-section by projecting wall parts from the upper and lower ends of the plate-shaped bottom surface to the front side. And a rotating body group 722b in which a pair of upper and lower rotating bodies formed with a rotation axis perpendicular to the bottom surface is disposed in a pair of left and right.

  In the rotating body group 722b, a pair of upper and lower rotating bodies are disposed in parallel to the left and right, and the length of the vertical interval is slightly longer than the diameter of the first slide shaft rod S1. The rotating body group 722b is arranged so as to protrude slightly outward from the longitudinal side surface (left and right side surfaces in FIG. 36) of the carriage main body 722a.

  The first slide shaft S1 includes a pair of fastening plate portions S1a fastened and fixed to the base member 710 at both ends, and is formed of a metal material such as stainless steel.

  The arrangement | positioning aspect to the base member 710 of the 1st slide member 720 is demonstrated. First, the slide shaft S1 is inserted between the rotating body groups 722a of the first slide member 720, and the fastening plate portion S1a is fastened and fixed to the base member 710 in this state. As a result, the carriage unit 722a is disposed between the base member 710 and the first slide shaft rod S1. Further, the base member 710 is reinforced by the rigidity of the first slide shaft rod S1.

  Next, the carriage receiving part 721 b and the carriage part 722 of the main body part 721 are fastened and fixed. Thus, the first slide member 720 is pivotally supported by the first slide shaft rod S1 so as to be slidable.

  In this state, the rack portion 721a of the first slide member 720 is meshed with a transmission gear meshed with the drive gears 711a and 712a. Therefore, the driving force of the driving device 770 (see FIG. 35) is transmitted to the first slide member 720 via the drive gears 711a and 712a and the transmission gear, so that the first slide member 720 is slid to the left and right.

  When the first slide member 720 is slid, the rotating body group 722b sandwiches the first slide shaft rod S1, so that the contact area between the first slide member 720 and the first slide shaft rod S1 can be reduced, and friction is reduced. Further, since the pair of upper and lower rotating bodies are arranged in a pair on the left and right and they are in contact with the first slide shaft rod S1, wobbling of the first slide member 720 can be suppressed at a plurality of points. Therefore, the posture of the first slide member 720 with respect to the first slide shaft rod S1 can be stabilized.

  The front cover member 730 is fastened and fixed to the base member 710 after the first slide member 720 is disposed on the base member 710. The lower cover member 730 is disposed on the front side of the lower end of the decorative portion 723. Accordingly, when the first slide member 720 wobbles in the front-rear direction (the left front direction in FIG. 36) about the first slide shaft rod S1, wobbling of the first slide member 720 can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 38, the base member 710 is fastened and fixed to the back surface of the base member 710 on the left side when viewed from the rear, and the transmission cylinders 711 and 712 that are arranged to penetrate in the front-rear direction and are rotatable. A fixed gear portion 713 that extends along the vertical direction and has a gear engraved on a wall surface facing inward (rightward in FIG. 38), and meshed with the fixed gear portion 713 and rack gear 754 (see FIG. 39) and a guide wall portion 715 that protrudes from the back surface of the base member 710 and extends in the vertical direction on the right side in the rear view. And mainly.

  The transmission cylinders 711 and 712 include drive gears 711a and 712a (see FIG. 36) on the front side of the base member 710, respectively. The transmission cylinders 711 and 712 are members to which the drive shafts of the drive motors 771 and 772 of the drive device 770 are fixed, and are members that transmit the drive force of the drive device 770 to the first slide member 720.

  The guide wall portion 715 includes a receiving gear portion 715a engraved on the wall surface facing inward (left side in FIG. 38).

  As shown in FIG. 37, since the second slide member 740 is constituted by a pair of members having substantially the same shape, one side (upper side in FIG. 37) will be described here, and the other description will be omitted.

  The second slide member 740 has a main body portion 741 formed in a long plate shape, a cart portion 742 fastened and fixed to the main body portion 741, and extends leftward from the left end in front view of the cart portion 742. A decorative portion 743.

  The main body 741 is formed in a long plate shape extending in the vertical direction, and a rack gear is engraved on the right surface.

  The carriage part 742 is fastened and fixed to the back side of the main body part 741 with the upper end coincident with the upper end of the main body part 741. The carriage part 742 includes a carriage main body part 742a that is formed in a U-shaped cross section by projecting a wall part from the left and right ends of the plate-like bottom surface to the front side, and is perpendicular to the bottom surface inside the carriage main body part 742a. A rotating body group 742b in which a pair of left and right rotating bodies formed with a rotating shaft is disposed in a pair.

  In the rotating body group 742b, a pair of left and right rotating bodies are arranged in parallel vertically, and the length of the left-right interval is formed slightly longer than the diameter of the second slide shaft rod S2.

  The decorative portion 743 includes a pair of upper and lower deflection suppressing gears 743a that are pivotally supported by a shaft that protrudes toward the rear surface at the left end of the front view.

  The second slide shaft rod S2 includes a pair of fastening plate portions S2a fastened and fixed to the base member 710 at both ends.

  The arrangement | positioning aspect to the base member 710 of the 2nd slide member 740 is demonstrated. First, the slide shaft S2 is inserted between the rotating body groups 742a of the second slide member 740, and the main body portion 741 is fastened and fixed to the front side of the carriage portion 742. Accordingly, the second slide member 740 is pivotally supported by the second slide shaft rod S2 so as to be slidable. Further, the base member 710 is reinforced by the rigidity of the second slide shaft rod S2.

  Next, the fastening plate portion S2a of the second slide shaft rod S2 is fastened and fixed to the back surface of the base member 710. Accordingly, the main body portion 741 is disposed between the base member 710 and the second slide shaft rod S2.

  Here, the rack gear carved from the main body portion 741 of the second slide member 740 is meshed with the rolling gear 714 of the base member 710. Therefore, when the rolling gear 714 is rotated, the second slide member 740 is slid up and down.

  When the second slide member 740 slides, the rotating body group 742b sandwiches the second slide shaft rod S2, so that the contact area between the second slide member 740 and the second slide shaft rod S2 can be reduced, and friction is reduced. In addition, since the pair of left and right rotating bodies are arranged in a pair in the upper and lower directions and abut against the second slide shaft rod S2, wobbling of the second slide member 740 can be suppressed at a plurality of points. Therefore, the posture of the second slide member 740 with respect to the second slide shaft rod S2 can be stabilized.

  Here, the main body portion 741 having a rack gear meshed with the rolling gear 714 (drive portion side) and the carriage portion 742 sandwiching the second slide shaft rod S2 are the same in the extending direction of the second slide member 740. Formed at the end. Therefore, the degree to which the bending of the second slide member 740 with the second slide shaft S2 as a fulcrum affects the meshing state between the rack gear and the rolling gear 714 can be reduced. Therefore, the resistance which the 2nd slide member 740 receives by the shift | offset | difference of a meshing state can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 39, the transmission device 750 is a device that transmits the driving force of the driving device 770 to the second slide member 740, and has a long plate-shaped main body portion 751 and a back surface side of the main body portion 751. A drive gear 752 to which the drive shafts 773a and 774a of the drive device 770 are fixed, a transmission gear 753 meshed with the drive gear 752, and a tooth meshed with the transmission gear; And a rack gear 754 that is a long plate-like member extending in the direction and is slid up and down along the slide long hole 751a of the main body 751.

  In the description of the configuration of the transmission device 750, only one (upper) of the pair of upper and lower parts (see FIG. 39) is described, and the other description is omitted.

  The main body 751 includes a slide long hole 751a that is formed in a long hole shape with the longitudinal direction in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 39).

  The rack gear 754 includes a cylindrical shaft support portion 754a (see FIG. 37) that protrudes vertically from the front and penetrates the slide long hole 751a of the main body 751. The shaft support portion 754 a is inserted through the shaft support hole of the rolling gear 714.

  Here, a transmission mode of the driving force to the second slide member 740 will be described. First, when the drive shaft 773a of the drive device 773 is rotated, the drive gear 752 fixed to the drive shaft 773a is rotated, and the rack gear 754 is rotated via the rotation of the transmission gear 753 meshed with the drive gear 752. It is slid up and down along the longitudinal direction of the slide long hole 751a.

  Since the shaft support portion 754a (see FIG. 37) of the rack gear 754 is inserted into the shaft support hole of the rolling gear 714, when the rack gear 754 is slid up and down, the rolling gear 714 is also slid up and down. .

  At this time, the rolling gear 714 is meshed with the teeth of the fixed gear portion 713 of the base member 710 and is also meshed with the main body portion 741 of the second slide member 740 disposed to face the fixed gear portion 713. That is, the double rack and pinion mechanism is formed by the fixed gear portion 713, the rolling gear 714, and the main body portion 741, and the second slide member 740 is moved at a double speed with respect to the rack gear 754.

  The back-side cover member 760 includes a back-side drive unit cover member 761 disposed on the drive unit side of the second slide member 740, a back-side upper cover member 762 disposed on the top, and the back-side drive unit cover member 761. And a rear retaining cover member 763 that is opposed to the direction.

  The back drive unit cover member 761 is fastened and fixed to the back side of the transmission device 750, and among the drive motors of the drive device 770, drive motors 773 and 774 for driving the second slide member 740 are fastened and fixed to the back.

  The back upper cover member 762 is fastened and fixed to the back surface of the base member 710, and drive motors 771 and 772 for driving the first slide member 720 among the drive motors of the drive device 770 are fastened and fixed to the back surface.

  The back surface retaining cover member 763 is formed on the back surface on the extending end side of the decorative portion 743, and prevents the second slide member 740 from rotating out from the back surface with the second slide shaft S <b> 2 as a fulcrum.

  The drive device 770 mainly includes drive motors 771 and 772 that drive the first slide member 720 and drive motors 773 and 774 that drive the second slide member 740. These drive motors 771, 772, 773, and 774 are provided with drive shafts 771a, 772a, 773a, and 774a, respectively.

  With reference to FIG. 40, an example of the movement mode of the pair of first slide members 720 will be described. FIG. 40 is a front view of the second slide operation unit 700 illustrating an example of a change in the arrangement of the first slide member 720 in time series.

  40A, the pair of first slide members 720 are disposed at the retracted positions, and in FIG. 40B, the main body portion 721 and the carriage portion 722 of the pair of first slide members 720 40 (c) shows a state in which the pair of first slide members 720 are moved by a predetermined amount from the position of FIG. 40 (b) to the right in the front view. 40 (a) to 40 (c), the upper front cover member 730 of the pair of upper and lower front cover members 730 is not shown.

  Here, transmission of the driving force to the drive gears 711a and 712a when the pair of first slide members 720 slide is described. When the drive gears 711a and 712a are rotated from the retracted position shown in FIG. 40A (the drive gear 711a is clockwise when viewed from the front and the drive gear 712a is counterclockwise when viewed from the front), the pair of first slide members 720 Are slid and moved toward the overhanging position, and contacted at the overhanging position (see FIG. 40B).

  A drive motor 772 (see FIG. 35) that generates a driving force for slidingly moving the first slide member 720 disposed on the right side of the pair of first slide members 720 is in the state of FIG. It is controlled to stop the generation of the driving force immediately before reaching. In the present embodiment, since the contact of the pair of first slide members 720 occurs between the carriage receiving portion 721b and the carriage main body portion 722a of the carriage portion 722, it is unnecessary to consider the bending of the decoration portion 723 in the sliding direction. Thus, the contact position of the pair of first slide members 720 can be accurately calculated.

  The pair of first slide members 720 are arranged such that the rotating body group 722b protrudes slightly outward from the longitudinal side surface (the left and right side surfaces in FIG. 36) of the carriage main body 722a. When rotating, the rotating bodies of the rotating body group 722b projecting outward from the contact surface side are first brought into contact with each other, and thereafter, the carriage receiving portion 721b and the carriage main body portion 722a of the carriage portion 722 are pressed against each other. It is done. That is, while the carriage receiving portion 721b and the carriage main body 722a are in contact with each other, pressure is applied to the rotating bodies that protrude outward from the contact surface side in the rotating body group 722b. Accordingly, the rotation of the rotating body group 722b can be braked in a state where the pair of slide members 720 are in contact with each other, so that the impact at the time of contact between the pair of first slide members 720 can be reduced.

  After the pair of first slide members 720 are brought into contact with each other, a drive motor 771 that generates a driving force for sliding the first slide member 720 disposed on the left side of the front view of the pair of first slide members 720. A pair of first slides (by pressing the first slide member 720 disposed on the right side of the front view by the first slide member 720 disposed on the left side of the front view) by the driving force (see FIG. 35). The member 720 is slid to the right (see FIG. 40C).

  That is, after the pair of first slide members 720 come into contact with each other, the pair of first slide members 720 can be slid without causing the drive motors 771 and 772 to operate in a coordinated manner. Thereby, the electric power consumption in the whole drive motor 771, 772 (refer FIG. 35) can be suppressed.

  Further, for example, when the pair of first slide members 720 is driven only by the drive motor 771 (see FIG. 35), the motor load increases compared to driving only the first slide member 720 on one side. However, since the first slide member 720 is moved in the horizontal direction, there is no need to consider the gravity load as in the case of moving in the vertical direction, and the amount of increase in the motor load is the drive motors 771, 772 (see FIG. 35). It occurs equally in each.

  Therefore, the motor life of the drive motors 771 and 772 (see FIG. 35) can be easily adjusted, and the replacement timing of the drive motors 771 and 772 can be easily adjusted. Thereby, the maintenance frequency of the drive motors 771 and 772 can be reduced.

  With reference to FIG. 41, an example of the movement aspect of a pair of 2nd slide member 740 is demonstrated. FIG. 41 is a front view of the second slide operation unit 700 illustrating an example of a change in the arrangement of the second slide member 720 in time series.

  41A shows a state in which the pair of second slide members 740 are disposed at the retracted positions, and FIG. 41B shows a state in which the main body portions 741 of the pair of second slide members 740 are in the extended position. 41 (c) shows a state in which the pair of second slide members 740 have been moved a predetermined amount upward from the position in FIG. 41 (b).

  Here, transmission of the driving force to the driving gear 752 (see FIG. 39) during the sliding movement of the pair of second slide members 740 will be described. From the retracted position shown in FIG. 41A, the drive gear 752 is rotated by the drive motors 773 and 774 (see FIG. 35) (the drive motor 773 is clockwise when viewed from the front and the drive motor 774 is counterclockwise when viewed from the front). Then, the pair of second slide members 740 are slid and moved toward the extended position, and contacted at the extended position (see FIG. 41B).

  A drive motor 773 (see FIG. 35) that generates a driving force for slidingly moving the second slide member 740 disposed above the front view of the pair of second slide members 740 reaches the state shown in FIG. Control is performed to stop the generation of the driving force immediately before.

  After the pair of second slide members 740 are in contact with each other, a drive motor 774 that generates a drive force that slides the second slide member 740 disposed below the front view of the pair of second slide members 740 ( The pair of second slide members 740 is driven by the driving force (see FIG. 35) (the second slide member 740 disposed above the front view is pushed by the second slide member 740 disposed below the front view). The slide is moved upward (see FIG. 41C).

  In other words, after the pair of second slide members 740 are brought into contact with each other, the pair of second slide members 740 can be slid without causing the drive motors 773 and 774 (see FIG. 35) to cooperate. Thereby, the power consumption seen in the drive motor 773,774 whole can be suppressed.

  Here, when the member that moves downward changes the direction of movement upward, the load on the drive motor may increase due to the influence of gravity, which may reduce the motor life. In addition, since the deceleration time for changing the direction takes a long time, there is a possibility that the degree of freedom of production is reduced.

  However, in the present embodiment, when the upper member of the pair of second slide members 740 changes the movement direction from the downward movement to the upward direction, the lower member of the pair of second slide members 740 is raised. The momentum of movement can be used. As a result, the motor load generated when the direction of the second slide member 740 is changed due to the influence of gravity can be reduced, and the motor life can be extended. Moreover, the deceleration time for the direction change of the 2nd slide member 740 can be shortened, and the freedom degree of production can be improved.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 42, the operation of the bending suppression gear 743a of the second slide member 740 will be described. FIG. 42 is a partial rear view of the second slide operation unit 700. In addition, illustration of the back surface retaining cover 763 (see FIG. 39) of the back side cover member 760 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 42, in the second slide member 740, the end portion opposite to the end portion supported by the second slide shaft rod S2 contacts the receiving gear portion 715a of the base member 710 via the deflection suppressing gear 743a. Touched.

  Here, when the second slide member 740 is started, the meshing relationship between the bending suppression gear 743a and the receiving gear portion 715a is optimized and the bending suppression gear 743a rotates smoothly. Therefore, the second sliding member 740 and the receiving gear are rotated. Resistance generated between the portion 715a is suppressed. Therefore, the driving force required when starting the second slide member 740 can be suppressed.

  On the other hand, when the pair of second slide members 740 are brought into contact with each other between the carriage parts 742, the impact at the time of contact is transmitted to the decoration part 743, and the side where the bending suppression gear 743a of the decoration part 743 is disposed. Are inclined with respect to the guide wall 715. Thereby, the load from the bending suppression gear 743a to the receiving gear part 715 increases. More specifically, for example, when the decorative portion 743 of the second slide member 740 is inclined downward (downward in FIG. 42) with the carriage portion 742 as a fulcrum, the upper deflection suppression gear 743a of the pair of deflection suppression gears 743a is the receiving gear. Pressed against the part 715.

  As a result, a force in a direction to return the inclination of the second slide member 740 is applied to the second slide member 740, so that the inclination of the posture of the decorative portion 743 generated by the contact of the pair of second slide members 740 is suppressed. can do.

  Further, since the contact between the second slide member 740 and the guide wall portion 715 is configured by the gear meshing, the contact surface can be increased. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of slipping between the second slide member 740 and the guide wall portion 715 when the pair of second slide members 740 come into contact with each other, and thus the inclination of the posture of the decoration portion 743 is suppressed. The effect to do can be improved.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 43 to 48. First, with reference to FIG. 43 to FIG. 46, the swing operation unit 2300 in the second embodiment will be described.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the transmission device 350 and the drive gear 341 of the drive device 340 are always meshed has been described. However, the oscillating operation unit 2300 in the second embodiment includes the transmission device 2350 and the drive device 2340. A state in which the drive gear 2341 is engaged (engaged state) and a state in which the engagement of the transmission device 2350 and the drive gear 2341 is released (non-engaged state) can be formed. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part same as each embodiment mentioned above, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  43 and 44 are front views of the drive gear 2341, the transmission device 2350, and the L-shaped lever 2380 illustrating the swinging operation of the drive gear 2341, the transmission device 2350, and the L-shaped lever 2380 in time series in the second embodiment. FIG.

  Note that the main body 321 and the release hole 325 of the arm member 320 are illustrated by imaginary lines, and in FIG. 43A, the arm member 320 is disposed at the extended position, and in FIG. FIG. 43 (c) shows a state in which 320 is swung from the extended position toward the retracted position, and FIG. 43 (a) shows a state in which the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position. FIG. 44B shows a state immediately before the transmission device 2350 is pulled by the L-shaped lever 2380 from the state of c), and FIG. 44B shows a state where the arm member 320 is projected to the front of the projecting position. ), The state in which the arm member 320 is disposed at the extended position by the transmission device 2350 being pulled by the L-shaped lever 2380 is illustrated.

  As shown to Fig.43 (a), the drive gear 2341 and the transmission device 2350 are formed so that engagement is possible.

  The drive gear 2341 includes a main body portion 2341a that is axially viewed from the drive shaft and formed in a fan-like shape when viewed from the front, and an extrusion pin 2341b that protrudes from the front side in the vicinity of the peripheral surface of the main body portion 2341a.

  The transmission device 2350 includes a release pin 2352 that protrudes toward the front side at the end of the regulation sliding portion 351 on the opposite side to the front view.

  The base member 2310 includes a rocking shaft 2318 that protrudes to the front side in the lower right side of the shaft of the drive gear 2341 when viewed from the front.

  The L-shaped lever 2380 is formed in a long bar shape, and one end of the L-shaped lever 2380 is pivotally supported by the swing shaft 2318 of the base member 2310 so as to be swingable. A second main body portion 2382 that is pivotally supported at the other end of the opposite side and is formed into a long rod shape, and a long hole shape extending along the extending direction of the second main body portion 2382 is formed. And a pull slide hole 2383 to which the release pin 2352 is coupled. The L-shaped lever 2380 is formed so as to be able to swing the front side of the drive gear 2341 and to be able to contact the push pin 2341b when the drive gear 2341 rotates.

  A case where the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position to the retracted position will be described. The arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position by the transmission device 2350 coupled by the release hole 325 being swung to the state of FIG. 43C by the rotation of the drive gear 2341. At this time, the L-shaped lever 2380 is pulled to the release pin 2352 of the transmission device 2350 through the pulling slide hole 2383 and inclined toward the transmission device side.

  When the drive gear 2341 is further rotated counterclockwise from the state shown in FIG. 43 (c), the engagement between the transmission device 2350 and the drive gear 2341 is released (see FIG. 44 (a)). Next, a case where the arm member 320 is swung from the retracted position toward the extended position will be described.

  In a state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position (see FIG. 43C), the regulation sliding portion 351 of the transmission device 2350 and the release hole 325 of the arm member 320 form a dead point, and thus the transmission device 2350 And the drive gear 2341 are disengaged, the arm member 320 is maintained in the retracted position.

  When the drive gear 2341 is further rotated from the state shown in FIG. 44A and the L-shaped lever 2380 is pushed outward (rightward in FIG. 44), the transmission device 2350 is inserted into the pulling slide hole 2383 of the L-shaped lever 2380. The release pin 2352 is pulled, and the transmission device 2350 is slightly rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the front.

  By slightly rotating the transmission device 2350, the dead point formed by the regulating sliding portion 351 of the transmission device 2350 and the release hole 325 of the arm member 320 is released, and the arm member 320 is rotated by the torsion spring 360 (see FIG. 20). ) Is oscillated toward the overhang position (see FIG. 44B).

  When the drive gear 2341 is further rotated and the push pin 2341b is arranged on the right side of the rotation shaft, the L-shaped lever 2380 pulls the release pin of the transmission device 2350 again. Thereby, the regulation sliding part 351 of the transmission device 2350 and the release hole 325 of the arm member 320 form a dead point, and the arm member 320 can be maintained at the extended position (see FIG. 44C).

  That is, when the arm member 320 is swung from the retracted position toward the extended position, the engagement between the drive gear 2341 and the transmission device 2350 coupled to the arm member 320 can be released, and the arm member 320 can be released. It is possible to reduce the resistance applied to. Therefore, by starting the arm member 320 with the biasing force of the torsion spring 360 (see FIG. 20), the action of swinging the arm member 320 at a high speed from the start can be made remarkable.

  Here, the transmission device 2350 and the drive gear 2341 are engaged only when the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position to the retracted position. Therefore, the change in resistance generated between the transmission device 2350 and the drive gear 2341 affects the swing of the arm member 320 only when the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position to the retracted position, and the arm member 320 When the arm is swung from the retracted position to the extended position, the arm member 320 is not affected.

  Therefore, even if the capacity of the driving device 2340 is selected to be large by setting a large elastic force of the torsion spring 360, a large force is required when the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position to the retracted position. Thus, it is possible to ensure the high speed at the start when the arm member 320 is swung from the retracted position to the extended position.

  45 (a), 45 (b), 46 (a), and 46 (b) illustrate a second embodiment in which the operation of swinging the arm member 320 from the retracted position to the extended position is illustrated in time series. It is a front view of rocking | fluctuation operation | movement unit 2300 in a form. 45A illustrates a state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the retracted position, and FIG. 45B illustrates a state where the arm member 320 is swung by a predetermined amount from the retracted position. 46 (a) shows a state in which the arm member 320 is swung by a predetermined amount from the state of FIG. 45 (b), and FIG. 46 (b) shows a state in which the arm member 320 is disposed at the overhanging position. Is done.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the standing member 330 is gently raised has been described. However, in the swing operation unit 2300 in the second embodiment, the standing member 330 is suddenly raised.

  As shown in FIG. 46B, the standing hole 2316 of the base member 2310 includes a posture changing portion 2316a formed at the upper portion of the bending point and a concentric circle portion 2316b formed near the lower end.

  The posture changing portion 2316 a is a portion in which the extending direction of the long hole is directed to the cylindrical portion 322 that is the swing axis of the arm member 320. When the change sliding portion 333 of the upright member 330 is slid on the posture changing portion 2316a, the degree of change in the posture of the upright member 330 with respect to the swing angle of the arm member 320 is maximized (FIGS. 45B and 46). (See (a)). This is because the posture changing portion 2316a is in a perpendicular relationship with the circle formed by the movement locus of the sliding ring portion 323 (see FIG. 17B).

  The concentric circle portion 2316b is a portion in which the extending direction of the long hole is directed in a direction along a circle centering on the cylindrical portion 322 of the arm member 320. When the change sliding part 333 of the standing member 330 slides on the concentric circle part 2316b, the relative positional relationship between the sliding ring part 323 of the arm member 320 and the change sliding part 333 of the standing member 330 does not change. The posture of the upright member 330 with respect to the arm member 320 is maintained.

  In the present embodiment, since the concentric circular portion 2316b is formed at the lower end of the standing hole 2316, the arm member 320 stands up from the retracted position until the arm member 320 is disposed at the position illustrated in FIG. The relative posture of the member 330 is maintained.

  The posture changing portion 2316a is formed at the upper part of the bending point of the upright hole 2316 (that is, near the upper part of the concentric circle part 2316b), so that it is shown in FIG. 46 (a) from the arrangement shown in FIG. 45 (b). When the arm member 320 is swung in such an arrangement, the upright member 320 is suddenly raised.

  Thereby, the posture change after the standing member 320 is visually recognized by the player can be made abrupt. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the high-speed operation of the swing operation unit 2300 felt by the player.

  With reference to FIG. 47, the 1st slide operation unit 2400 in 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. In the first embodiment, the case where the connecting member 470 is formed from a resin material has been described. However, in the first slide operation unit 2400 in the second embodiment, the connecting member 2470 is formed from an elastic rubber material. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part same as each embodiment mentioned above, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 47A is a front view of the first slide operation unit 2400 in the second embodiment, and FIG. 47B is a rear view of the first slide operation unit 2400. In FIG. 47, the state in which the suspension member 430 is disposed at the extended position is illustrated, and the cover member 420 is partially omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 47A, the second cover member 2466 of the tilting member 2460 includes a mass portion 2466m disposed at the upper end.

  The mass portion 2466m is a portion having a mass necessary for the center of gravity of the tilting member 2460 to be formed vertically above the suspension shaft 461a in a state where the suspension member 430 is disposed at the extended position. Therefore, the center of gravity G of the tilting member 2460 is formed vertically above the suspension shaft 461a.

  The connecting shaft 461 b of the tilting member 2460 is connected to the suspension shaft 454 of the auxiliary member 450 by the connecting member 2470.

  The connecting member 2470 is a long member formed of a rubber-like elastic body, and is formed to be extendable / contractable by swinging of the tilting member 2460.

  Here, in a state where the suspension member 430 is disposed at the overhang position, the center of gravity G of the tilt member 2460 is formed vertically above the suspension shaft 461a, and therefore the tilt member 2460 is formed unstable. Therefore, when the driving device 464 (see FIG. 23) is driven and the tilting member 2460 performs an expansion / contraction operation in a state where the hanging member 430 is disposed at the extended position, the tilting member 2460 swings around the hanging shaft 461a. Moved.

  In this case, since the connecting shaft 461b of the tilting member 2460 extends and contracts the connecting member 2470, an elastic force is applied to the tilting member 2460. As a result, a force opposite to the swinging direction of the tilting member 2460 is applied to the tilting member 2460. In this case, the time until the tilting member 2460 swings back is shortened, and the operation of the tilting member 2460 is speeded up. Therefore, the speed of the swinging operation of the tilting member 2460 that occurs when the driving device 464 (see FIG. 23) is driven can be increased, and an effect due to the swinging (vibration) of the tilting member 2460 is effectively performed. be able to.

  With reference to FIG. 48, the 2nd slide operation | movement unit 2700 in 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. In the first embodiment, the case where one of the pair of first slide members 720 is stopped and brought into contact with the other first slide member 720 has been described, but the second slide operation unit 2700 in the second embodiment is The position and speed of the other first slide member 2720 are detected, and one of the first slide members 2720 is controlled to run backward according to the detection result. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part same as each embodiment mentioned above, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 48 is a partial front view of the second slide operation unit 2700 in the second embodiment illustrating an example of an operation in which the first slide member 2720 is slid and moved from the retracted position to the extended position. 48, the illustration of the upper front cover member 730 is omitted, and in FIG. 48 (a), a state in which the pair of first slide members 2720 are disposed at the retracted position is illustrated, and FIG. FIG. 48C shows a state in which the right first slide member 2720 has been slid by a predetermined amount of the pair of first slide members 2720, and FIG. 48C shows the first slide on the left side from the state of FIG. A state in which the member 2720 is slid by a predetermined amount is illustrated.

  As shown in FIG. 48 (a), the main body portion 2721 of the first slide member 2720 is perforated in the front-rear direction (vertical direction in FIG. 48) and extended in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 48). A hole-shaped detection hole 2721c is provided.

  The base member 2710 is a transmission type optical sensor disposed on the front side, and the detection device is disposed at a position where the transmitted light can pass through the detection hole 2721c when the first slide member 2720 is slid. 2716. Note that the detection device 2716 is disposed approximately at the center in the left-right direction of the base member 2710 (see FIG. 48A).

  As shown in FIG. 48B, when the first slide member 2720 on the right side is slid from the state of FIG. 48A and the transmitted light of the detection device 2716 reaches the position penetrating the detection hole 2721c, the right side slide member 2720 is moved to the right side. The first slide member 2720 is controlled to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 48C, when the first slide member 2720 on the left side is slid and the transmitted light of the detection device 2716 reaches a position penetrating the detection hole 2721c, the right slide member 2720 is moved to the left slide member. Control is performed so as to reversely feed (slide to the right) at a speed capable of contacting 2720 at a constant speed.

  That is, while the left first slide member 2720 slides, the transmitted light of the detection device 2716 is blocked by the rack portion 721a of the first slide member 2720, but the transmitted light of the detection device 2716 passes through the detection hole 2721c. When the penetrating position is reached, the transmitted light of the detection device 2716 is detected, and the position information of the left first slide member 2720 is output to the main control device. Further, since the detection hole 2721c is formed in a long hole shape, the speed information of the left first slide member 2720 is output to the main control device by detecting the length at which the transmitted light of the detection device 2716 is detected. The

  Based on the position information and the velocity information of the left first slide member 2720, the reverse acceleration required for the right first slide member 2720 to contact the left first slide member 2720 at a constant speed is obtained. The first slide member 2720 on the right side is calculated and controlled with the acceleration.

  Thereby, the impact at the time of contact | abutting of a pair of 1st slide member 2720 can be relieved, and durability of the 1st slide member 2720 can be improved.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be easily made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can be guessed.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, a part or all of the configuration in one embodiment may be combined with or replaced with a part or all of the configuration in the other embodiments to form another embodiment.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the changing sliding portion 333 of the standing member 330 is slid into the standing holes 316 and 2316 has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, a rotatable roller may be disposed on the changing sliding portion 333 and the roller may roll on the upright holes 316 and 2316. Thereby, the resistance which generate | occur | produces at the time of the attitude | position change of the standing member 330 can be suppressed.

  In each of the above embodiments, the size of the gap formed between the main body portion 321 and the collar member of the arm member 320 and the base member 310 gradually decreases from the vicinity of the lower end of the guide hole 315 toward the vicinity of the upper end. Although the case where it is formed has been described, it is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the size of the gap formed between the main body portion 321 of the arm member 320 and the collar member and the base member 310 may be rapidly changed in a part of the guide hole 315. That is, at least two types of change in the gap may be formed. In this case, the degree of change in the slide resistance of the arm member 320 can be changed (rapidly or loosened).

  In each of the above embodiments, the size of the gap formed between the main body portion 321 and the collar member of the arm member 320 and the base member 310 gradually decreases from the vicinity of the lower end of the guide hole 315 toward the vicinity of the upper end. Although the case where it is formed has been described, it is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, even if the size of the gap formed between the main body portion 331 and the collar member of the standing member 330 and the base member 310 is gradually reduced from the vicinity of the lower end of the standing hole 316 to the vicinity of the upper end, Good. In this case, resistance applied to the standing member 330 when the arm member 320 starts from the retracted position toward the extended position is suppressed, and wobbling of the standing member 330 is suppressed in a state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the extended position. can do.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the size of the gap formed between the main body portion 321 of the arm member 320 and the collar member and the base member 310 has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the groove width orthogonal to the extending direction of the guide hole 315 may be reduced from the lower end toward the upper end. In this case, the degree of reduction in diameter perpendicular to the extending direction of the guide hole 315 can be formed differently from the left and right with respect to the center of the sliding portion 326.

  That is, the right side surface (right side in FIG. 18A) of the guide hole 315 is a portion formed on the upper side of the sliding portion 326 of the arm member 320, and the arm member 320 swings from the retracted position to the extended position. In this case, the arm member 320 is a portion that is positively contacted when the arm member 320 slightly moves in the surface direction (direction perpendicular to the surface thickness direction) of the base member 310 due to play with the swing shaft. By greatly reducing the reduction degree of the groove width from the stage close to the retracted position, the arm member 320 can be smoothly swung in the protruding direction.

  On the other hand, the left side surface (the left side in FIG. 18A) of the guide hole 315 is in contact with the arm member 320 when it is swung from the extended position to the retracted position and when the arm member 320 is tilted forward. Therefore, the degree of contraction of the groove is moderated until it reaches the vicinity of the upper end of the guide hole 315, and is formed rapidly in the vicinity of the upper end, whereby the resistance received when the arm member 320 is swung toward the retracted position. Can be suppressed. That is, the sliding portion 326 can be prevented from coming into contact with the left side surface of the guide hole 315 when the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position to the retracted position, or when the arm member 320 is tilted forward. Resistance generated when the member 320 swings from the extended position to the retracted position can be suppressed. Thereby, the driving force required for the driving device 340 can be reduced, and the driving device 340 can be downsized.

  Note that the same effect can be obtained by changing the diameter from the swing shaft 312 to the guide hole 315 by the portion of the guide hole 315 without changing the groove width of the guide hole 315. For example, by increasing the diameter from the swing shaft 312 in the vicinity of the lower end of the guide hole 315 as compared to the vicinity of the upper end, the arm member 320 is swung from the retracted position to the extended position from the start. The sliding portion 326 can be easily brought into contact with the upper side surface of the guide hole 315. Thereby, the swing of the arm member 320 can be made smooth.

  Further, by increasing the diameter from the swing shaft 312 in the vicinity of the upper end of the guide hole 315 as compared with that in the vicinity of the lower end, the arm member 320 can be armed from the upper side surface of the guide hole 315 in a state where the arm member 320 is disposed at the extended position. A downward force acts on the sliding portion 326 of the member 320. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the driving force required at the time of starting when the arm member 320 is swung from the extended position to the retracted position.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where all the reflection members 520 of the reversing operation unit 500 are rotated at the same time has been described. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the rotation timing may be shifted for each reflection member 520, or the rotation speed may be shifted. Thereby, the reflection direction of the light irradiated from the light source and reflected by the reflecting member 520 can be set in various ways, and the front side of the reversing operation unit can be brilliantly produced.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the reflection member 520 is rotated by the rotation gear 523 of the reflection member 520 of the reversing operation unit 500 meshing with the first rack gear 553 of the transmission member 550 has been described. is not. For example, the transmission member 550 may be formed of a rotating belt, and the rotating gear 523 may be formed of a roller. In this case, even if the rotating belt further rotates while the reflecting members 520 are in contact with each other, slip occurs between the rotating belt and the roller, and further rotation of the reflecting member 520 is suppressed. Therefore, damage to the reflecting member 520 can be prevented.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case has been described in which the expansion gear 523a is formed on the rotation gear 523 of the reversing operation unit 500 and the first rack gear 553 of the transmission member 550 is formed with an interval between them. is not. For example, the expansion teeth 523a may be formed on the transmission member 550 and the tooth interval may be formed on the rotation gear 523.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the reflecting member 520 of the reversing operation unit 500 is formed of an opaque resin material has been described. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the reflecting member 520 may be formed from a transparent resin material. In this case, since the player can visually recognize the light emitted from the light source regardless of whether the reflecting member 520 is in the closed state or the open state, the player can visually recognize the effect of the light emitted from the light source for a long period of time. Can do.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the case where one slide member 720 is slid by being pushed by the other slide member 720 out of the pair of first slide members 720 of the second slide operation unit 700 has been described. It is not something that can be done. For example, each of the pair of first slide members 720 may be formed so as to be always driven by an independent drive motor.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the pair of second slide members 740 directly contact the main body portions 741 has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, an elastic member such as rubber or a coil spring may be disposed on the surfaces of the main body 741 that are in contact with each other. In this case, since the impact can be reduced as compared with the case where the main body portions 741 are in direct contact with each other, the durability of the second slide member 740 can be improved.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the case where the second slide operation unit 700 is formed so that the shape of the “heart” can be visually recognized in a front view in a state where the slide members 720 and 740 protrude is described. It is not limited. For example, the visually recognized shape is not limited to “heart”, and may be “star”, “fish”, “car”, and the like. Further, different shapes may be formed so as to be visible when the slide members 720 and 740 have different degrees of overhang. In this case, the effect of the second slide operation unit 700 can be improved.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where one second slide member 740 pushes and moves the other second slide member 740 out of the pair of second slide members 740 is not necessarily limited thereto. . For example, it can be moved in the pulling direction by attaching a magnet to the contact portion of the second slide member 740. In this case, the pair of slide members 740 can be reciprocated by the drive motor 773 that slides one of the second slide members 740. Therefore, for example, when one drive motor 773 is newer than the other drive motor 774, the motor to be driven can be switched according to the situation, such as driving the second slide member 740 using only the drive motor 773. Therefore, the life of the pair of drive motors 773 and 774 can be adjusted.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the carriage receiving portion 721b and the carriage main body portion 722a of the carriage portion 722 are brought into contact with each other when the pair of first slide members 720 are in contact with each other has been described. Absent. For example, the pair of first slide members 720 may be in contact with the lower end side of the decorative portion 723, that is, the lower end side opposite to the upper end side to which the driving force is transmitted, of the longitudinal ends of the decorative portion 723. . In this case, the impact on the upper end side of the first slide member 720 when the pair of first slide members 720 are brought into contact with each other can be reduced, so that the burden on the drive motors 771 and 772 can be reduced.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the carriage receiving portion 721b and the carriage main body portion 722a of the carriage portion 722 are brought into contact with each other when the pair of first slide members 720 are in contact with each other has been described. Absent. For example, the pair of first slide members 720 may be in contact with both the upper end side and the lower end side of the decorative portion 723. In this case, since the contact area of the pair of first slide members 720 can be increased, the load applied per unit area when the pair of first slide members 720 are contacted can be reduced.

  Furthermore, since the movement of one of the pair of first slide members 720 is reliably transmitted to the other, the pair of slide members 720 are moved when the pair of first slide members 720 are slid in a contact state. The effect of visually recognizing as a unit can be made remarkable. At this time, if the contact points on both sides are concealed by the front cover member 730, the pair of slide members 720 that are separated from each other are viewed in a coordinated manner, so that the effect of the pair of slide members 720 can be improved. .

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the rotating body group 722b of the carriage unit 722 is formed with the same diameter has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the diameter of the rotating body group 722b may be formed larger in one first slide member 720 and smaller in the other first slide member 720. In this case, the rotating body group 722b having a small diameter can be sandwiched between the rotating body group 722b having a large diameter and the first slide shaft rod S1. Thereby, the effect which brakes the rotating body group 722b can be improved because the rotating body group 722b contact | abuts.

  In the second embodiment, the case where the detection hole 2721c is formed in one place in the first slide member 2720 has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the first slide member 2720 stops when the detection holes 2721c are formed at a plurality of locations (for example, one end, the center, and the other end of the main body portion 2721 of the first slide member 2720). A plurality of positions can be formed. At this time, by changing the lengths of the detection holes 2721c in the longitudinal direction, the positions of the first slide members 2720 can be detected at a plurality of locations in the detection period of the detection device 2716.

  In the second embodiment, the case where the detection hole 2721c is formed in a long hole shape has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the detection hole 2721c may be formed in a circular shape. In this case, the processing cost of the detection hole 2721c can be suppressed. Even when the detection hole 2721c is circular, a plurality of detection holes 2721c are continuously drilled along the sliding direction of the first slide member 2720, so that the detection device 2716 is moved during the movement of the first slide member 2720. The moving speed of the first slide member 2720 can be determined from the time interval during which the transmitted light is blocked. Further, by changing the number of circular detection holes 2721c for each longitudinal position of the first slide member 2720 (for example, both ends and the central portion), the transmission of the detection device 2716 during the movement of the first slide member 2720 is performed. The position of the first slide member 2720 can be detected based on the number of times light is blocked.

  In the second embodiment, after one slide member 2720 is stopped at the extended position, the position and speed of the other first slide member 2720 are detected by the positional relationship between the detection device 2716 and the detection hole 2721c. Although described, it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, when only the position or speed of the other first slide member 2720 is detected, the relative speed difference between the pair of first slide members 720 is suppressed by causing at least one first slide member 2720 to run backward. And the impact at the time of contact can be suppressed.

  In the second embodiment, the case where the detection device 2716 detects the position and speed of the pair of second slide members 740 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a pair of detection devices 2716 may be provided corresponding to the pair of second slide members 740, respectively. In this case, the position and speed of the other second slide member 740 can be detected regardless of the arrangement of the one second slide member 740.

  In the second embodiment, the case where the detection device 2716 is disposed on the base member 2710 has been described. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the detection device 2716 may be disposed on at least one of the pair of second slide members 740. In this case, the relative speed of the pair of second slide members 740 can be detected.

  You may implement this invention in the pachinko machine etc. of a different type from said each embodiment. For example, once a big hit, a pachinko machine that raises the expected value of the big hit until a big hit state occurs (for example, two times or three times) including that (for example, a two-time right item, a three-time right item) May also be implemented. Further, after the jackpot symbol is displayed, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that generates a special game that gives a player a predetermined game value on the condition that a ball is won in a predetermined area. Further, the present invention may be implemented in a pachinko machine that has a special area such as a V-zone and has a special gaming state as a necessary condition for winning a ball in the special area. Further, in addition to the pachinko machine, the game machine may be implemented as various game machines such as an alepatchi, a sparrow ball, a slot machine, a game machine in which a so-called pachinko machine and a slot machine are integrated.

  In the slot machine, for example, a symbol is changed by operating a control lever in a state where a symbol effective line is determined by inserting coins, and a symbol is stopped and confirmed by operating a stop button. Is. Accordingly, the basic concept of the slot machine is that it is provided with a display device for confirming and displaying the identification information after variably displaying the identification information string composed of a plurality of identification information, and resulting from the operation of the starting operation means (for example, the operation lever). The variation display of the identification information is started, and the variation display of the identification information is stopped and fixedly displayed due to the operation of the operation means for stop (for example, the stop button) or when a predetermined time elapses. It is a slot machine that generates a special game that gives a player a predetermined game value on the condition that the combination of identification information at the time is a specific condition. In this case, the game medium is typically a coin, medal, etc. Take as an example.

  In addition, as a specific example of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused, a display device is provided that displays a symbol after a symbol string composed of a plurality of symbols is variably displayed, and has a handle for launching a ball. What is not. In this case, after throwing a predetermined amount of spheres based on a predetermined operation (button operation), for example, the change of the symbol is started due to the operation of the operation lever, for example, due to the operation of the stop button, or With the passage of time, the variation of the symbol is stopped, and a special game that gives a predetermined game value to the player is generated on the condition that the determined symbol at the time of stoppage is a so-called jackpot symbol. In this case, a large amount of balls are paid out to the lower tray. If such a gaming machine is used in place of a slot machine, only a ball can be handled as a gaming value in the gaming hall. Therefore, the gaming value seen in the current gaming hall in which pachinko machines and slot machines are mixed is used. Problems such as the burden on equipment due to the separate handling of medals and balls and restrictions on the location of the gaming machine can be solved.

  The concept of various inventions included in the above-described embodiment in addition to the gaming machine of the present invention is shown below.

<An example of the technical idea of a moving member that is moved only by an urging force>
An urging device that generates an elastic urging force in one direction, and the display region of the liquid crystal display device from a retreat position that is located outside the display region of the liquid crystal display device by the urging force generated by the urging device A movable member formed to be movable to a predetermined position located on the front side of the head, a position restricting device formed to be able to restrict movement of the moving member at the retracted position, and release for releasing the restriction by the position restricting device A gaming machine A1 comprising the apparatus.

  Here, in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, a moving member formed to be movable between a first position and a second position, and a driving motor that generates a driving force for moving the moving member, There is a gaming machine provided (see, for example, JP 2011-120640 A). However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, when the moving member is moved by motor driving, it is easy to gradually accelerate the moving member to increase the speed, but it is not possible to move the moving member at high speed from the start. There was a problem that it was difficult.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A1, the movement member formed to be movable from the retracted position to the predetermined position by the biasing force in one direction is restricted (stopped) by the position restricting device at the retracted position. ). And when the restriction | limiting by a position control apparatus is cancelled | released by a cancellation | release apparatus, a movement member will be started to move by the urging | biasing force accumulate | stored by arrange | positioning in a retracted position.

  Therefore, the force applied to the moving member can be formed at the target value from the start of starting the movement of the moving member from the retracted position, and the moving member can be started at a high speed.

  Examples of the urging device include a device that uses the repulsive force of a magnet, a device that uses spring elasticity, etc., and examples of the releasing device include a driving device that applies a driving force that mechanically moves the position regulating device, Examples thereof include a device for canceling electromagnetic adsorption of the position regulating device.

  The gaming machine A1 includes a driving device having a function of generating a driving force for moving at least the moving member from the predetermined position toward the retracted position, and the releasing device is configured by the driving device. A gaming machine A2.

  Here, when the moving member is moved by the urging force in one direction, a device for generating a driving force for returning the moving member against the urging force is necessary in order to repeatedly perform an effect. Therefore, a space for arranging a device for generating a driving force is required. However, since the space for disposing the moving member and the driving device is limited inside the gaming machine, there is a possibility that the space for disposing the moving member cannot be sufficiently secured by adding the driving device.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A2, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine A1, since the release device is constituted by the drive device, the drive device is released from the restriction of the moving member and the retracted position from the predetermined position of the moving member. Can also be used to return to Therefore, the arrangement space of the release device and the drive device can be suppressed as compared with the case where the drive device is prepared separately.

  In addition, after the moving member has moved from the retracted position to the predetermined position, the moving member can be moved to the retracted position by the driving force of the driving device, so that the effect by the moving member can be repeatedly performed.

  Examples of the driving device include a motor and an air cylinder.

  In the gaming machine A2, the moving member is rotatably supported on the base end side, and the position restricting device is protruded from the first rotating body rotated about the first axis, and the first rotating body. And a pin member positioned eccentrically with respect to the first shaft, the pin member being connected to the moving member on the base end side of the moving member, and the moving member being disposed at the retracted position. A direction connecting the first shaft and the pin member is orthogonal to a direction connecting the rotation shaft formed on the base end side of the moving member and the pin member. .

  According to the gaming machine A3, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine A2, when the pin member of the position regulating device is connected to the moving member and the moving member is disposed at the retracted position, the first shaft and the pin member are connected. The direction is formed in such a manner that the direction is orthogonal to the direction connecting the rotation shaft and the pin member formed on the base end side of the moving member.

  Therefore, when the moving member is moved to the retracted position, the pin member can be automatically positioned at the dead point in the relationship between the first rotating body and the moving member, and the moving member is mechanically held at the retracted position. it can. Thereby, for example, a structure in which the moving member is detected at the retracted position and the position restricting device is operated to restrict the moving member becomes unnecessary.

  In addition, since the moving member is mechanically held by the positional relationship between the first shaft, the rotating shaft on the proximal end side of the moving member, and the pin member, the moving member is brought to the retracted position even if there is no driving force such as a drive motor. It is possible to secure a large force to regulate. Therefore, a large urging force accumulated in the urging device can be secured, and the effect of starting the moving member at a high speed can be made remarkable.

  In the gaming machine A3, the moving member includes a guide portion that guides the pin member, and at least one of the retracted position and the predetermined position, a straight line that connects the pin member and the first axis of the position regulating device. The position restricting device is engaged with the driving device and a driving force generated by the driving device is transmitted. The gaming machine A4 is characterized in that the pin member is formed to be movable along the guide portion by being rotated.

  According to the gaming machine A4, in addition to the effects achieved by the gaming machine A3, when the moving member starts to rotate from the retracted position or the predetermined position, the moving direction of the pin member and the extension of the guide portion Since the directions coincide with each other, it is possible to suppress the resistance that the pin member receives from the guide portion when the rotation of the first rotating body is started.

  Therefore, in order to release the restriction of the position restricting device with respect to the moving member, it is necessary when shifting the positional relationship between the first shaft, the rotating shaft on the proximal end side of the moving member, and the pin member (rotating the position restricting device). The driving force of the driving device can be reduced.

  In any of the gaming machines A2 to A4, an engagement state in which the position restriction device and the drive device are engaged with each other and a non-engagement state in which the position restriction device and the drive device are disengaged are formed. The gaming machine A5 is characterized in that the disengaged state is formed at least when the moving member starts from the retracted position.

  According to the gaming machine A5, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine A4, when the moving member starts from the retracted position, the position regulating device and the driving device form a non-engaged state, so that the resistance applied to the position regulating device As a result, it is possible to reduce the resistance at the start of the moving member. In this case, the resistance applied to the position regulating device by forming the engagement state between the driving device and the position regulating device does not occur when the moving member starts from the retracted position. Therefore, even if a large drive device is selected to counter the urging force of the urging device, the high speed at the start of the moving member can be ensured, so the degree of freedom in designing the urging device can be improved. That is, it becomes possible to select an urging device having a larger urging force.

  In addition, as an aspect which forms a non-engagement state with a position control apparatus and a drive device, for example, a gear is engraved on the side surface of the first rotating body of the position control device, and the gear meshed with the gear is partially The second rotating body formed on the driving device is disposed in the driving device, and when the driving force of the driving device is transmitted by the gear engagement between the first rotating body and the second rotating body, A second rotating body in which a magnetic body is formed on a side surface of one rotating body and a magnetic body to be attracted to the magnetic body is partially formed is disposed in the driving device, and the first rotating body and the second rotating body. The case where a drive device is transmitted by suction is exemplified.

  More specifically, when the first rotating state and the second rotating body transmit the driving force by the meshing of the gears, at least one gear of the first rotating body or the second rotating body is partially formed. Thus, the position restricting device and the drive device form an engaged state in the region where the gear is engaged, and the position restricting device and the drive are operated in a region where the gear is disengaged (region where the gear is not formed). The device forms a disengaged state.

  In the gaming machines A1 to A5, the game machine includes an effect member that is pivotally supported by the moving member and arranged at a front side of the liquid crystal display device when the moving member is disposed at least at a predetermined position. The member extends from the base end side to the swing end side which is an end portion on the opposite side of the base end side, and is formed in a mode in which the extending direction is a longitudinal direction, and the base end side is the liquid crystal The display member is pivotally supported outside the display area of the display device, and the effect member has a length in the first direction longer than a length in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction. In the retracted position, the first direction is set along the longitudinal direction of the moving member, and at the predetermined position, the first direction is a tangential direction of the rotation locus of the moving member. And one of the first directions Gaming machine A6 but characterized by taking the posture that projects on the opposite side of the retracted position.

  According to the gaming machine A6, in addition to the effect of any of the gaming machines A1 to A5, when the production member is arranged at the retracted position, the production member changes its first direction to the longitudinal direction of the moving member. It is assumed that the attitude is in line. Therefore, even when it is difficult to form a space in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the moving member outside the display area of the liquid crystal display device at the retracted position, the effect member is arranged outside the display area of the liquid crystal display device. It can be easy to install.

  Further, when the effect member is arranged at a predetermined position, the posture is changed so that the first direction is directed to the tangential direction of the rotation direction of the moving member, and one end of the effect member in the first direction is the effect end. Since the projection extends to the opposite side of the retracted position, the display area of the liquid crystal display device can be effectively used to produce an effect.

  An example of a case where it is difficult to form a sufficient space in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the moving member outside the liquid crystal display device is, for example, a case where a retracted position is arranged below the display area of the liquid crystal display device. Is done.

  The gaming machine A6 includes a first guide portion formed on a plane perpendicular to the swing shaft formed on the base end side of the moving member, and the effect member is guided by the first guide portion. A gaming machine A7 comprising a first projecting portion, wherein the change in the posture of the effect member is caused by the first projecting portion being guided by the first guiding portion.

  According to the gaming machine A7, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine A6, the change in the orientation of the effect member occurs when the projecting portion of the effect member is guided by the first guide portion. The degree of freedom can be improved.

  That is, for example, in the case where the change in the posture of the effect member is a change in which the effect member is tilted as the moving member is moved up, whether the effect member is gradually tilted in the process of moving the moving member up Depending on the design of the first guide part, it can be arbitrarily selected whether the effect member is suddenly tilted when the moving member is arranged at the ascending movement end.

  The first guide part is exemplified by a slot formed so as to penetrate and having a longitudinal direction, a groove formed as a recess having a longitudinal direction, and the like. As an aspect, the aspect in which the first protrusion is slid on the first guide part, the aspect in which the rotating body is disposed on the first protrusion, and the rotor is rolled on the first guide part, etc. Illustrated.

  In the gaming machine A7, the first guide portion is centered on a posture changing portion formed along a straight line extending radially from the swing shaft of the moving member and the swing shaft of the moving member. And a concentric circular portion extending along the circle, wherein the concentric circular portion is formed on the predetermined position side, and the posture changing portion is formed on the retracted position side. Game machine A8.

  According to the gaming machine A8, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine A7, by shortening the period during which the effect member changes its attitude with respect to the moving member, the moving member and the effect member can be changed without changing the attitude with respect to the moving member. It is possible to lengthen the period of movement as a unit.

  That is, since the posture changing portion is formed along a straight line extending radially from the rotation axis of the moving member, when the end of the effect member is guided through the posture changing portion, the end of the effect member and the end of the effect The distance from the circle formed by the movement locus of the shaft portion is greatly changed, and the change in the posture of the effect member can be increased with respect to the rotation angle of the moving member.

  On the other hand, since the concentric circle portion extends along a circle centering on the rotation axis of the moving member, when the first projecting portion of the effect member is guided through the concentric circle portion, the first projecting portion of the effect member and the effect The effect member is moved in a state where the relative positional relationship between the member and the shaft support position of the moving member is maintained. Therefore, a change in posture of the effect member with respect to the moving member can be suppressed.

  In this case, since the concentric circle part is formed on the predetermined position side, the player can visually recognize the effect member and the moving member as a unit over a long period of time during the rotational movement of the moving member.

  In the gaming machine A7, the first guide portion is centered on a posture changing portion formed along a straight line extending radially from the swing shaft of the moving member and the swing shaft of the moving member. And a concentric circle part extending along the circle, wherein the posture changing part is formed on the predetermined position side.

  According to the gaming machine A9, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine A7, by shortening the period during which the effect member changes its attitude with respect to the moving member, the moving member and the effect member can be changed without changing the attitude with respect to the moving member. It is possible to lengthen the period of movement as a unit.

  That is, since the posture changing portion is formed along a straight line extending radially from the rotation axis of the moving member, when the end of the effect member is guided through the posture changing portion, the end of the effect member and the end of the effect The distance from the circle formed by the movement locus of the shaft portion is greatly changed, and the change in the posture of the effect member can be increased with respect to the rotation angle of the moving member.

  On the other hand, since the concentric circle portion extends along a circle centering on the rotation axis of the moving member, when the first projecting portion of the effect member is guided to the first guide portion, the first projecting portion of the effect member and The effect member is moved in a state where the relative positional relationship between the effect member and the pivot support position of the moving member is maintained. Therefore, a change in posture of the effect member with respect to the moving member can be suppressed.

  In this case, since the posture changing portion is formed on the predetermined position side, the posture of the effect member can be quickly changed while the effect member is visually recognized by the player.

  In any one of the gaming machines A6 to A9, the game machine includes a second guide portion that is formed on a plane perpendicular to the swing axis of the moving member and extends along a rotation trajectory of the moving member. The member includes at least one second projecting portion guided by the second guide portion, and the second projecting portion is formed integrally with the moving member, and the moving member is disposed at the predetermined position. In this case, the second projecting portion is brought into contact with one end of the second guide portion.

  Since the moving member is moved by the urging force of the urging device, the motor cannot be stopped and the momentum of the moving member cannot be reduced as in the case of driving the motor, and the stopper is used to reduce the momentum of the moving member. A mechanism needs to be formed.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A10, in addition to the effects produced by any of the gaming machines A6 to A9, when the moving member is arranged at a predetermined position, the second projecting portion contacts the end of the second guide portion. By being in contact, the movement of the moving member can be reliably stopped at a predetermined position.

  In addition, since the second protrusion is guided by the second guide that extends along the rotation trajectory of the moving member, the second guide and the second protrusion optimize the rotation of the moving member. The wobbling of the moving member in the swing axis direction can be suppressed.

  Here, the first projecting portion and the first guide portion of the effect member can be brought into contact with each other to serve as a stopper, but since the effect member is rotatably supported by the moving member, the shaft support portion There is a problem with strength. On the other hand, since the second projecting portion is integrally projected from the moving member, the strength problem is small and the reliability as a stopper can be improved.

  In addition, by forming a plurality of sets of the second projecting portion and the second guide portion, it is possible to disperse the force required when the moving member reaches a predetermined position. Thereby, durability of a 2nd protrusion part can be improved. Further, examples of the second guide portion include a slot formed so as to penetrate and have a longitudinal direction, a groove formed as a recess having a longitudinal direction, and the like. As an aspect, the aspect in which the second protrusion is slid on the second guide, the aspect in which the rotating body is disposed on the second protrusion, and the rotor is rolled on the second guide, etc. Illustrated.

  In the gaming machine A10, the second guide portion has a groove in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction at the one end portion than at the other end portion which is the end portion on the opposite side of the one end portion. A gaming machine A11 that is formed in a manner in which the width is reduced.

  According to the gaming machine A11, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine A10, the second guide portion is formed in such a manner that the groove width is reduced at one end compared to the other end. That is, since a large gap is formed between the second protrusion and the second guide when the moving member is disposed at the retracted position, it is possible to suppress resistance when the moving member is started. Moreover, the clearance gap formed by the 2nd protrusion part and 2nd guide part when a moving member is arrange | positioned in a predetermined position can be made small, and the wobble of a 2nd protrusion part can be suppressed.

  Here, as a mode in which the groove width of the second guide portion is reduced, the groove width is gradually reduced from one end portion of the second guide portion to the other end portion, or the second guide portion. A case where the groove width is abruptly reduced at a part of (a degree of reduction of the groove width is formed by at least two kinds) is exemplified.

  In addition, when the second guide portion is formed by a through-hole, the second protrusion is inserted into the second guide portion, and the retaining member is fastened and fixed to the tip of the second protrusion, the second guide portion is perforated. Even if the thickness in the installation direction is formed in such a manner that one end is reduced as compared with the other end, the same effect can be obtained. In this case, in addition, when the moving member is disposed at the overhang position, it is possible to suppress the moving member from wobbling particularly in the drilling direction of the second guide portion.

  In the gaming machine A11, the swing of the moving member from the retracted position to the predetermined position is formed by ascending movement, and the second guide portion has a small-diameter side surface extending from the one end to the other end. The gap with the second protrusion is reduced over the vicinity of the part, and the gap with the second protrusion is increased at the other end compared to the gap, and the side surface on the large diameter side is The gap between the first protrusion and the second protrusion is reduced at the one end, and the second protrusion extends from the vicinity of the one end to the vicinity of the other end as compared with the gap. A gaming machine A12 characterized in that the gap is increased.

  According to the gaming machine A12, since the swing of the moving member from the retracted position to the predetermined position is formed by the upward movement, the moving member swings when the moving member is swinged from the retracted position to the predetermined position. When moving slightly in the direction perpendicular to the axis due to play with the shaft, the second projecting portion tends to abut on the small diameter side of the second guide portion. Here, the gap between the second guide portion and the second projecting portion is reduced in the initial stage of the process in which the moving member swings from the retracted position to the predetermined position. Thereby, the swing of the moving member from the retracted position to the predetermined position can be smoothed.

  Further, when swinging from the predetermined position to the retracted position, the second projecting portion is likely to abut on the large diameter side of the second guide portion. Here, the gap between the second guide portion and the second projecting portion is reduced only when the moving member is swung to a predetermined position. Thereby, the frictional resistance received from the second guide portion when the moving member swings from the predetermined position to the retracted position can be reduced. Therefore, the design freedom of the drive device can be improved.

  In any one of the gaming machines A6 to A12, the moving member has a gap between the main body portion extending from the base end side to the swing end side and a gap slightly larger than the thickness of the effect member. When the direction member is provided with a decorative portion that is spaced apart on the front side, and the orientation member changes in posture, at least one of the one end in the first direction or the other end opposite to the one end is the main body portion and the A gaming machine A13, which is stored between the decorative portion.

  According to the gaming machine A13, in addition to the effect of any of the gaming machines A6 to A12, when the effect member changes the posture, at least one of both ends in the first direction of the effect member is the main body part and the decoration part. It is stored with a slight gap between and. Therefore, when the production member changes its posture, if the production member becomes largely movable in the swing axis direction with respect to the main body for some reason, the main body and the decoration serve as a guide that prevents the movement. The large movement of the effect member in the swing axis direction can be restricted.

  According to this, in the case where the effect member and the other accessory are arranged in a stacked relationship, it is possible to prevent the effect member from interfering with the other accessory.

  In the gaming machine A13, the movement trajectory of any part of the effect member and the movement trajectory of any part of the decoration member are within the display area of the liquid crystal display device, and the fluctuation of the effect member. A gaming machine A14 that overlaps when viewed in the direction of the dynamic axis.

  According to the gaming machine A14, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine A13, the effect member can be reliably stored between the main body portion and the decoration portion inside the display area of the liquid crystal display device. Thereby, compared with the case where the production member is stored between the main body part and the decoration part for the first time outside the display area of the liquid crystal display device, as in the case of preventing the displacement in the front-rear direction with the fixed plate, A guide function for restricting the movement of the effect member in the swing axis direction from an earlier stage can be exhibited.

  Thereby, when a plurality of moving units are stacked, not only the interference between the moving members of the moving units outside the display area of the liquid crystal display device, but also the movement units inside the display area of the liquid crystal display device. Interference between moving members can be prevented.

<An example of a technical idea for suppressing wobbling of the moving member>
A moving member formed to be slidable between a retracted position and a predetermined position, a first driving device that generates a driving force for driving the moving member, an effect member disposed on the moving member, and the effect member And a second driving device that generates a driving force for driving the game machine, wherein the retracted position is a position spaced apart from the predetermined position by a predetermined distance in a lateral direction of the gaming machine and from the predetermined position. The effect member is a position spaced apart by a predetermined distance upward in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine, at least the predetermined position is a moving end of the moving member, and at least the moving member is disposed at the predetermined position. A gaming machine B1 that is driven.

  Here, a moving member formed so as to be slidable and an effect member which is arranged on the moving member and is driven independently of the moving member are slid in the horizontal direction. There is a gaming machine (see, for example, JP 2012-085811 A). However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, the moving member receives the force due to the reaction of the driving of the effect member, and the moving member is moved in the sliding direction. Therefore, in order to keep the moving member in a predetermined position, the effect member There is a problem that it is necessary to continue to apply a force resisting the force due to the reaction of the drive to the moving member.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine B1, the predetermined position that is the moving end of the moving member is formed obliquely below the retracted position. Therefore, even if the effect member is driven by the driving force of the second driving device at the predetermined position and the moving member receives the reaction force, the force due to the weight of the moving member works toward the predetermined position, and the moving member is moved to the predetermined position. Therefore, even if the driving force applied to the moving member from the first driving device is unnecessary, the moving member can be maintained at a predetermined position.

  The longitudinal direction of the gaming machine means a direction along the vertical direction when the gaming machine is installed in the hall, and the lateral direction of the gaming machine means a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine. To do.

  As a method for transmitting the driving force of the first driving device to the moving member, a rack gear is formed on the base end side of the moving member, and the pinion gear meshing with the rack gear is rotated by the driving force of the first driving device. Examples thereof include a method and a method of attaching a belt to the proximal end side of the moving member and winding the belt.

  In the gaming machine B1, an auxiliary member is provided that is spaced apart by a predetermined distance in a direction perpendicular to a plane in which the moving member slides, and the moving member is a liquid crystal display at least in the predetermined position. A projecting portion formed inward of a display area of the apparatus, and in a state where the moving member is disposed at least at the predetermined position, the projecting portion is perpendicular to a plane in which the moving member slides. A game machine B2 which is brought into contact with the auxiliary member when swinging to the right.

  Here, since the protruding portion of the moving member is formed to protrude inward of the display area of the liquid crystal display device when the moving member is disposed at a predetermined position, it prevents interference with other objects. Therefore, it is required to suppress the swing in the direction perpendicular to the sliding plane.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine B2, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine B1, the auxiliary member is arranged at a predetermined distance in the direction perpendicular to the plane on which the moving member slides, and the moving member is at the predetermined position. In the disposed state, when the overhanging portion swings in a direction perpendicular to the plane in which the moving member slides, the auxiliary member and the overhanging portion of the moving member are brought into contact with each other. Therefore, the wobbling of the overhanging portion can be suppressed, and the collision between the other accessory and the overhanging portion can be prevented.

  In the gaming machine B2, a gaming machine B3, wherein the overhang portion has a weaker base side rigidity than a tip side.

  According to the gaming machine B3, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine B2, the rigidity on the base side is weakened compared to the leading end side of the overhanging portion, so that wobble generated at the leading end of the overhanging portion The degree of transmission to the root side can be weakened.

  Here, examples of the method for weakening the rigidity include a case where the overhang portion is formed of a resin material partially different in rigidity by two-color molding, and a case where the thickness of the overhang portion is partially changed. .

  When the overhanging portion is formed with a thin thickness in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane on which the moving member slides, the moving member can be prevented from wobbling in the sliding movement direction due to the bending deformation of the overhanging portion.

  Further, when the base side of the overhanging part is formed to be thinner than the tip side, the wobbling at the front end side of the overhanging part is converted into a bending deformation with the base side of the overhanging part as a fulcrum. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the horizontal movement of the moving member in the direction perpendicular to the plane in which the moving member slides on the base side of the overhang portion.

  In the gaming machine B2 or B3, one end of the auxiliary member is pivotally supported by the moving member, and the other end which is the end opposite to the one end is a display area of the liquid crystal display device When the moving member is arranged at the retracted position, the auxiliary member is arranged outside the display area of the liquid crystal display device.

  According to the gaming machine B4, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine B2 or B3, one end of the auxiliary member is pivotally supported by the moving member, and the other end of the auxiliary member is outside the display area of the liquid crystal display device. When the moving member is disposed at the retracted position, the auxiliary member is disposed outside the display area of the liquid crystal display device. Therefore, when the moving member is disposed at the retracted position, the auxiliary member can be retracted from the inside of the display area of the liquid crystal display device.

  Thus, another moving member is disposed on the same layer as the moving member, and when the moving member is disposed at the retracted position, the other moving member protrudes inward of the liquid crystal display device. It is possible to produce a variety of effects in a limited space.

  In addition, as a mode in which the auxiliary member is pivotally supported by the base member, a mode in which the auxiliary member is pivotally supported by the rotating shaft, or a mode in which the protruding portion is inserted into the long hole and the protruding portion is guided in the long hole Is exemplified.

  In the gaming machine B4, the overhang portion extends along a direction from the shaft support portion of the one end portion of the auxiliary member toward the other end portion in a state where the moving member is disposed at the predetermined position. A gaming machine B5 comprising an extended contact portion.

  According to the gaming machine B5, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine B4, the overhanging portion of the moving member includes the abutting portion, and the abutting portion of the auxiliary member is in a state where the moving member is disposed at a predetermined position. It extends along the direction from the axial support part of one edge part to the other edge part. Therefore, in the state where the moving member is disposed at a predetermined position, an area where the moving member and the auxiliary member are in contact can be secured by the contact portion.

  In the gaming machine B5, the overhanging portion has a hand portion that is bent and extended from the extending tip of the contact portion, and the effect member is disposed at the tip of the hand portion, and the movement As the member slides to the retracted position, the overlapping position of the overhang portion and the auxiliary member moves to the tip side of the hand portion.

  According to the gaming machine B6, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine B5, the effect member is disposed on the hand portion of the overhanging portion, and the extension member and the auxiliary member are The overlapping position is moved to the tip side of the hand portion. For this reason, as the moving member is slid to the retracted position, it is possible to shorten the protruding amount (the protruding distance) of the protruding portion that extends to the effect member with the auxiliary member as a reference. Thereby, even if the leading end side of the overhanging portion is wobbled by driving the effect member, the overhanging portion can be brought into contact with the auxiliary member from the stage where the wobble is small. Thereby, when a moving member is arrange | positioned in a retracted position, the effect which suppresses wobbling in the direction perpendicular | vertical to the plane which a moving member slides can be made remarkable.

  In the gaming machines B4 to B6, the effect member is disposed below the moving member, and one end portion thereof is pivotally supported by the moving member so as to be pivoted from one end portion to the opposite side. When the moving member is arranged at the predetermined position as compared with the case where the moving member is arranged at the retracted position, the direction connecting the other end of the moving member is formed as a longitudinal direction. However, the gaming machine B7, wherein the longitudinal direction of the effect member is inclined in the horizontal direction.

  Since the moving member is moved obliquely downward as it goes to the predetermined position, in order to form the effect member on the front side of the display area of the liquid crystal display device even when the moving member is arranged at the predetermined position, the moving member is In the case of being arranged at the retracted position, it is necessary to arrange the lower end of the effect member at a position elevated from the lower end of the display area of the liquid crystal display device by a distance by which the moving member is moved downward from the retracted position toward the predetermined position. It was. For this reason, when the moving member is disposed at the retracted position, the lower portion of the effect member is wasted as a dead space.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine B7, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine B3 or B4, the effect member is disposed below the moving member and the moving member is disposed at the retracted position. When the moving member is arranged at the predetermined position, the angle formed between the longitudinal direction of the effect member and the horizontal direction is formed smaller. Therefore, when the moving member is arranged at the predetermined position, the effect member is Take a posture that falls down horizontally.

  Therefore, when the moving member is disposed at the retracted position, the moving member moves downward from the retracted position toward the predetermined position even if the effect member is disposed at the lower end of the display area of the liquid crystal display device. Can be absorbed by the posture change of the effect member. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lower portion of the effect member when the moving member is disposed at the retracted position from being wasted as a dead space, and to form the effect member as a larger member that is longer in the longitudinal direction.

  The gaming machine B7 includes a connecting member that connects the other end of the effect member and the auxiliary member, and the auxiliary member moves compared to a case where the moving member is disposed at the retracted position. The gaming machine B8 is characterized in that when the member is disposed at the predetermined position, the gaming machine B8 is inclined in the horizontal direction.

  According to the gaming machine B8, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine B5, the auxiliary member is more horizontally oriented when the moving member is disposed at a predetermined position than when the moving member is disposed at the retracted position. Since the other end of the effect member is connected to the auxiliary member via the connecting member, the effect member is inclined in the horizontal direction as the auxiliary member is inclined in the horizontal direction. Can be made.

  In addition, since the effect member is connected not only to the moving member but also to the connecting member via an auxiliary member that is pivotally supported by the moving member, it is supported by a plurality of members. The effect of suppressing the wobbling of the effect member and the moving member can be remarkably distributed.

  In the gaming machine B8, the center of gravity of the effect member is formed on the other end side of the effect member.

  According to the gaming machine B9, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine B8, the center of gravity of the effect member is formed on the other end side of the effect member, so that the weight of the effect member acts on the connecting member effectively. Can be made. Therefore, when the moving member is arranged at a predetermined position, a force directed in a direction in which the auxiliary member is further tilted with respect to the auxiliary member is effectively applied, so that wobbling of the auxiliary member can be suppressed. As a result, wobbling of the moving member and the effect member connected to the auxiliary member can be suppressed.

  In the gaming machine B8, the center of gravity position of the effect member is formed above the gaming machine longitudinal direction above the position where the effect member is pivotally supported by the moving member.

  According to the gaming machine B10, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine B8, the center of gravity of the effect member is formed on the upper side in the vertical direction of the game machine at the position where the effect member is pivotally supported by the moving member. Can be evenly allocated in the horizontal direction with the pivotal support position between the moving member and the effect member as a boundary.

  Therefore, the wobbling of the effect member when the effect member is driven by the second drive device can be easily transmitted to the auxiliary member through the connecting member. As a result, the moving member and the effect member connected to the auxiliary member It can generate wobble. Thereby, when the effect member is driven, an effect of wobbling the moving member and the effect member can be performed.

<An example of a technical idea that reduces assembly man-hours>
A base member having a pair of wall portions that are formed to project in the same direction, a lid member that is in contact with an overhanging end of at least one of the pair of wall portions, and both ends of the pair of wall portions. A plurality of reflecting members pivotally supported by the portion, and a light source that emits light toward at least one of the plurality of reflecting members, and at least one of the pair of wall portions The wall portion is formed with a plurality of shaft support grooves on the end surface of the projecting end, and the reflecting member is supported by being projected from the body portion and fitted into the shaft support groove. At least one rotation shaft portion, and the rotation shaft portion fitted into the shaft support groove is fitted from the open ends of the plurality of shaft support grooves, and the open ends of the shaft support grooves are attached to the lid member. A gaming machine C1 that is pivotally supported by being closed.

  Here, there is a gaming machine that includes a movable body that is pivotally supported at both ends and is formed so that its posture can be changed in order to change the traveling direction of light emitted from the LED light source (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-272332). reference). However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, when a plurality of LED light sources are provided, a plurality of movable bodies are required, and the work of inserting the movable body through the hole to support the movable body, Thus, it is necessary to perform the work of attaching the parts for fixing the movable body so that it cannot be pulled out from the hole, so that the number of assembly steps increases.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine C1, a plurality of shaft support grooves are formed in the wall portion of the base member, the rotation shaft portion of the reflecting member is fitted into the shaft support groove, and the open end of the shaft support groove is the lid member. The plurality of reflecting members can be pivotally supported so as to be closed. By rotating these reflecting members, the direction of light emitted from the light source toward the reflecting members can be changed.

  This eliminates the need to insert the reflective member into the hole for pivotal support, and then attach parts (screws, retaining stoppers, etc.) for fixing the reflective member so that it cannot be pulled out of the hole. It is possible to prevent the assembly man-hours from increasing in proportion to the number of.

  In the case where the shaft support groove is formed only in one of the pair of wall portions, for example, a hole is formed in the other side opposite to the one, and the shaft portion of the reflecting member is inserted obliquely into the hole. After that, when the reflecting member is tilted, the shaft portion formed on the other opposite one is fitted into the shaft support groove, or the shaft pin is projected on the other opposite one, and the shaft Examples include a case in which after the reflective member is fitted on the pin, the reflective member is tilted so that the shaft portion formed on the other side of the opposite side is fitted into the shaft support groove.

  In the gaming machine C1, the gaming machine C2 is characterized in that the lid member is fastened to a side surface of the wall portion.

  Here, when it is desired that the wall portion of the base member is formed thin, for example, when the lid member is fastened and fixed to the overhanging end surface of the wall portion, the diameter of the head of the fastening screw is less than the thickness of the wall portion. This is the lower limit, and the degree of freedom in design is reduced.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine C2, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine C1, the lid member is fastened to the side surface of the wall portion, so that the wall portion is formed thin without being limited to the diameter of the head of the fastening screw. can do.

  In this case, for example, when the wall portion and the display area of the liquid crystal display device are adjacent, the presence of the wall portion can be made inconspicuous, and the display area of the liquid crystal display device and the reflecting member are combined to produce The production effect can be improved.

  In the gaming machine C2, the lid member includes a plurality of shaft support holes that support the rotating shaft portion of the reflecting member.

  According to the gaming machine C3, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine C2, the rotating shaft portion of the reflecting member is inserted into the shaft support hole formed in the lid member, so that the area for supporting the rotating shaft portion is reduced to the wall portion. Can be sufficiently ensured by the area corresponding to the thickness supporting the rotating shaft portion and the area corresponding to the length of the shaft support hole.

  In any one of the gaming machines C1 to C3, at least one of the pair of wall portions includes an extending portion that extends from between adjacent shaft support grooves, and the lid member includes the extending portion. In the state where the fitting part is fitted to the installation part and the lid member is attached to the base member, the fitting part is at least in the direction adjacent to the shaft support groove and the rotation of the extension part. A gaming machine C4 that is in contact with the axial direction of the shaft portion.

  According to the gaming machine C4, in addition to the effect of any of the gaming machines C1 to C3, the fitting portion of the lid member and the extending portion of the wall portion are in contact with each other in the direction adjacent to the shaft support groove. It is possible to easily align the wall portion in the adjacent direction of the shaft support groove and the lid member.

  In addition, since the fitting portion of the lid member and the extending portion of the wall portion are in contact with each other in the axial direction of the rotating shaft portion, the wall portion and the lid member are aligned in the axial direction of the rotating shaft portion, and the wall The rigidity of the part can be reinforced by the lid member.

  In any of the gaming machines C1 to C4, a closed state in which a region formed by the respective axis centers of the pair of wall portions and the adjacent pair of reflecting members is closed by the main body portions of the pair of reflecting members. The game machine C5 is characterized in that, in the closed state, the pair of reflecting members are in contact with each other in the rotational direction.

  According to the gaming machine C5, in addition to the effects produced by any of the gaming machines C1 to C4, the region formed by the pair of wall portions and the respective axial centers of the pair of adjacent reflecting members is a pair of reflecting members. Therefore, the light emitted from the light source can be shielded by a plurality of reflecting members.

  Further, in the closed state, the surfaces in the rotational direction of the pair of reflecting members are in contact with each other, so that the gap formed between the main body portions of the adjacent reflecting members can be closed, and the gap between the reflecting members can be closed. Light leakage can be suppressed.

  Here, suppression of light leakage can also be achieved by, for example, sliding a plate-shaped shutter member and disposing the shutter member between the light irradiated to the player and the player. In this case, if the shutter member is fully opened, the player can visually recognize the entire light emitted. However, in the middle of the sliding movement of the shutter member from the state where the shutter member is disposed between the light irradiated to the player and the player, the light overlapping the shutter member cannot be visually recognized. That is, the period until the player visually recognizes the entire light becomes longer.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine C5, the reflection member allows light irradiated to the player to pass through by rotating the reflection member from the closed state while suppressing light leakage in the closed state. Here, the plurality of reflecting members can have the same role as the single shutter member described above as an example. That is, each reflecting member can be made smaller than the shutter member. Therefore, compared with the case where the shutter member is slid, the time until the player visually recognizes the entire light can be shortened when the reflecting member is rotated.

  Further, since the end portions of the reflection surface portions of the adjacent reflection members are formed so as to be able to contact each other, the deviation of the posture of the reflection member can be corrected by another reflection member. Therefore, even if there is a reflection member with a poor rotation angle accuracy among the plurality of reflection members, the posture of the rotated reflection member is corrected by being in contact with another reflection member. Therefore, the quality of the production of the reflecting member can be ensured.

  In the gaming machine C5, the reflecting member is chamfered at the contact portions of the surfaces facing each other.

  According to the gaming machine C6, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine C5, the abutting portions of the reflecting members facing each other are chamfered, so that the reflecting member can be further tilted toward the adjacent reflecting member. Therefore, the surface formed by the plurality of reflecting members in the closed state can be made flatter. In this case, for example, when a pattern is formed by combining side surfaces in the rotation direction of a plurality of reflecting members, it is possible to suppress a shift of the pattern at the boundary of the reflecting members.

  Examples of the chamfering method include a method of cutting a curved surface (R is attached), a method of cutting a flat surface, and the like.

  In any one of the gaming machines C1 to C6, the game machine includes a driving device that generates a driving force for rotating the plurality of reflecting members, and a transmission member that is slid by the driving device. The plurality of reflecting members are formed so as to be slidably movable in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion, and at least one of the pair of rotating shaft portions has a transmitted portion abutting on the transmitting member, respectively. The gaming machine C7 is characterized in that the transmitting member and the reflecting member can be rotated by sliding the transmitting member.

  According to the gaming machine C7, in addition to the effects exhibited by any of the gaming machines C1 to C6, the transmission member moved by the driving device is formed in a manner that slides in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft portion. Then, the transmitted portions respectively formed on the rotating shaft portions of the plurality of reflecting members are brought into contact with the transmitting member. Here, when the transmission member is slid, the transmission part is rotated and the reflection member is rotated in conjunction with the transmission part. Therefore, the plurality of reflection members can be rotated by the sliding movement of one transmission member. .

  Examples of the transmission member include a belt and a rack gear. When the transmission member is a belt, a cylindrical portion is exemplified as the transmitted portion, and when the transmission member is a rack gear, a rotary gear-shaped portion is illustrated as the transmitted portion.

  In the gaming machine C7, the transmission member includes a rack gear portion whose teeth are engraved on a side surface facing the transmitted portion, and the transmitted portion has teeth that can mesh with the rack gear portion. A gaming machine C8 characterized by this.

  According to the gaming machine C8, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine C7, the transmission member includes a rack gear portion, and teeth formed so as to be meshed with the rack gear portion of the transmission member are formed in the transmitted portion. As a result, when the transmission member is slid, the transmitted portions of the plurality of reflecting members meshed with the rack gear portion are rotated, thereby preventing slippage between the transmitting member and the reflecting member. Can do. Therefore, a plurality of reflecting members can be rotated synchronously.

  In the gaming machine C8, at least one of the teeth formed in the rack gear portion or the transmitted portion of the transmission member is formed with a width larger than the interval between adjacent teeth of the transmitted portion or the rack gear portion facing each other. A gaming machine C9 in which expansion teeth are formed.

  According to the gaming machine C9, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine C8, at least one of the teeth formed in the rack gear part or the transmitted part of the transmission member is larger than the distance between adjacent teeth of the opposed transmitted part or the rack gear part. Since the expansion teeth formed with a large width are formed, the transmission resistance of the driving force from the rack gear portion to the transmitted portion can be temporarily increased when the expansion teeth are meshed.

  Thereby, the sliding movement of the transmission member can be mechanically stopped. Therefore, even when the sensor at the moving end of the transmission member is abnormal, it is possible to prevent over-rotation of the reflecting member rotated by the transmission member.

<An example of the technical idea of moving the mating member with its own drive device>
An inner surface that is disposed on the front side of the liquid crystal display device and is formed so as to be capable of reciprocating sliding movement between the outer side and the inner side of the display region of the liquid crystal display device and in the moving direction inside the display region And a drive device that drives the pair of moving members, the movable range of one of the pair of moving members being movable. Interferes with the movable range of the other moving member that is the moving member on the opposite side of the one moving member, and moves the one moving member to contact the other moving member, and further The gaming machine D1 is configured to move by moving one of the moving members in the same direction so that the other moving member is pushed forward.

  Here, a game machine that makes the liquid crystal display device invisible by moving a pair of actors from the outside of the display area of the liquid crystal display device toward the inside of the display area of the liquid crystal display device and coming into contact with each other Is known (see, for example, JP-A-2005-040413). However, the conventional gaming machine described above has a problem that the operation of the pair of objects is monotonous.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine D1, since one moving member abuts on the other moving member, and the other moving member moves, the other moving member is formed to be movable. Unexpected movement that is difficult to form with only the driving device that drives the moving member can be formed.

  For example, when the moving member is driven by a single driving device, a delay associated with the deceleration time occurs when the driving direction is reversed, causing the monotonousness of the moving member. Therefore, as the driving direction of the driving device of one moving member is changed, the other moving member is brought into contact with one moving member, and the other moving member is moved in the same direction. Thereby, the driving force of the other moving member can be used as an auxiliary force for moving one moving member, and the period required for changing the direction of one moving member can be shortened. Therefore, it is possible to form an unexpected movement that is difficult to form with only the driving device that drives the other moving member.

  In addition, since the pair of moving members can be moved without the synchronization operation of the driving device that drives the pair of moving members, the power consumption of the driving device can be suppressed and the control burden on the driving device can be reduced. .

  In the gaming machine D1, the moving direction of the pair of moving members is a substantially vertical direction, the gaming machine D2.

  Here, when one moving member moves downward from the retracted position, the one moving member receives a downward force due to the action of gravity. Therefore, the driving force required when one moving member changes direction is increased by the amount of gravity, and it is difficult to shorten the deceleration time of the moving member when changing the direction of the moving member.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine D2, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine D1, the moving member is formed so as to be slidable in a substantially vertical direction, so that one of the movements that abut in the process of moving downward from the retracted position. When changing the direction of a member, the one moving member is brought into contact with the other moving member moving upward from the retracted position, and the other moving member is moved in the same direction, thereby changing the direction of one moving member. It is possible to shorten the period required for the operation. The substantially vertical direction is not limited to the vertical direction and means a direction that allows a slight horizontal component.

  In the gaming machine D1, the gaming machine D3 is characterized in that a moving direction of the pair of moving members is a substantially horizontal direction.

  When one moving member is in contact with the other moving member in the process of moving, and the other moving member is moved by moving the other moving member in the same direction, the driving device of the one moving member is a pair of Since the moving members are moved together, the burden on the driving device increases.

  Here, when a pair of moving members are arranged up and down, the burden on the driving device that drives the moving member arranged below is more burden on the driving device that drives the moving member arranged above. Compared to this, there is a difference in the life of the driving device. Therefore, the replacement period of one drive device is shorter than that of the other drive device, and the maintenance schedule becomes difficult compared to the case where a pair of drive devices are replaced simultaneously.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine D3, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine D1, the pair of moving members are formed so as to be slidable substantially in the horizontal direction, thereby reducing the difference in load on the pair of driving devices. be able to.

  That is, when the moving member is formed so as to be movable in a substantially horizontal direction, the moving member does not receive a force due to gravity in the movable direction, so the burden on the driving device does not depend on the direction of movement. Therefore, the replacement time for each driving device can be adjusted.

  Note that the direction of the sliding movement of the moving member does not need to coincide with the horizontal direction, and an inclination from the horizontal direction to allow the moving member to be stopped by the frictional force with the driving device is allowed.

  One of the gaming machines D1 to D3 includes a base member on which the moving member is disposed, and a shaft rod that guides the moving member to be slidable is fixed to the base member. Game machine D4.

  According to the gaming machine D4, in addition to the effects exhibited by any of the gaming machines D1 to D3, the rigidity of the base member can be improved by the shaft rod fixed to the base member. The shaft rod has a role of guiding the moving member so as to be slidable.

  Thus, the shaft rod can be used both as a member that guides the moving member so as to be slidable and a member that improves the rigidity of the base member.

  In the gaming machine D4, the gaming machine D4 is arranged in such a manner as to sandwich the shaft rod, and includes a cart unit having at least both ends of a pair of wheel units formed so as to be able to roll with respect to the shaft rod. A gaming machine D5, which is fixed to at least one end of the moving member.

  According to the gaming machine D5, the carriage part is fixed to at least one end of the moving member, and the carriage part has a wheel part that can roll on the shaft rod, so that the frictional resistance generated when the moving member slides is suppressed. can do.

  Moreover, since a pair is arrange | positioned by the aspect which pinches | interposes a shaft bar and they are arrange | positioned at at least both ends of a trolley | bogie part, the wheel part can maintain the attitude | position of a shaft bar and a trolley | bogie part uniformly.

  In the gaming machine D5, when the pair of moving members are in contact with each other, the wheel portions respectively disposed on the pair of moving members are in contact with each other.

  According to the gaming machine D6, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine D5, the wheel portions respectively disposed on the pair of moving members are brought into contact with each other when the pair of moving members are in contact with each other. Thereby, since the resistance concerning a wheel part at the time of contact of a pair of moving members can be raised, the impact at the time of contact of a pair of moving members can be eased.

  In addition, you may form a pair of wheel part which contact | abuts mutually different diameter. In this case, the resistance applied to the wheel portion can be further increased by sandwiching the small-diameter wheel portion between the large-diameter wheel portion and the shaft rod.

  In the gaming machine D6, the moving member includes a transmission portion to which the driving force of the driving device is transmitted and is elongated in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft rod. The gaming machine D7 is characterized in that the transmission part and the carriage part are arranged at the end of the game machine.

  According to the gaming machine D7, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine D6, a transmission portion to which the driving force of the driving device is transmitted is formed at one end where the carriage portion is disposed. Since the carriage unit is guided and slid by the shaft rod, the engagement relationship between the transmission unit and the driving device can be optimized.

  That is, since the moving member is formed in a long shape, it is easy to bend, and the bend is generated using one end portion where the carriage portion guided by the shaft bar is disposed as a fulcrum. When the transmission unit is formed at the other end, which is the end opposite to the one end where the carriage unit is disposed, the position of the transmission unit is likely to change due to the bending of the moving member. Deviations are likely to occur in the engagement relationship between the transmission portion of the member and the driving device. When a shift occurs in the engagement relationship between the transmission unit of the moving member and the driving device, there is a problem in that resistance generated between the transmission unit and the driving device during sliding movement of the moving member increases.

  On the other hand, if the transmission portion is formed at one end portion where the carriage portion is disposed, the transmission position of the driving force and the support position of the moving member are both formed at one end portion, and the moving member is Even if it bends, the position of the transmission part of a moving member is not changed by it. Therefore, the engagement relationship between the transmission unit of the moving member and the driving device can be maintained, and resistance generated between the transmission unit and the driving device when the moving member slides can be suppressed.

  In addition, as an aspect of a transmission part, when the rotation gear is formed from the drive device side, the rack gear part formed in one edge part is illustrated, for example.

  In the gaming machine D7, the gaming machine D8 is characterized in that the contact of the pair of moving members occurs on the transmission unit side.

  According to the gaming machine D8, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine D7, it is not necessary to consider the displacement due to the bending of the moving member in the calculation of the contacting position of the pair of moving members. It can be calculated accurately.

  In the gaming machine D7, the abutment of the pair of moving members occurs at an end portion on the opposite side to the transmission portion side.

  According to the gaming machine D9, in addition to the effect produced by the gaming machine D7, the contact of the pair of moving members occurs at the end on the opposite side to the transmitting unit side, so that when the pair of moving members are in contact, the transmitting unit The impact on the side can be reduced. Thereby, the load which a drive device receives when a pair of moving member contact | abuts can be reduced.

  In the gaming machines D7 to D9, the moving member extends in parallel with the direction in which the moving member slides, and the other end of the moving member opposite to the one end is connected to the shaft rod. A guide wall portion that is abutted from a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft, and the moving member is rotatably supported at the other end portion and a pair of abutments against the guide wall portion A gaming machine D10 comprising a rotating body, the pair of rotating bodies being provided side by side in the sliding direction of the moving member, and being rotated as the moving member is slid.

  According to the gaming machine D10, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machines D7 to D9, the guide wall portion extends in parallel to the sliding direction of the moving member and is pivotally supported by the other end portion of the moving member. A pair of rotating bodies are brought into contact with the guide wall portion.

  Here, when the moving member suddenly stops and the moving member greatly bends and vibrates around one end as a fulcrum, the moving member of the pair of rotating bodies pivotally supported at the other end of the moving member. The rotating body on the opposite side to the direction of bending is pressed against the guide wall. Therefore, resistance is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of the bending vibration of the moving member, so that it is possible to easily suppress the bending vibration of the moving member as compared with the case where the other end of the moving member is formed as a free end. .

  In addition, since the rotating body and the guide wall are smoothly brought into contact with each other when the moving member is started, it is possible to suppress frictional resistance generated between the guide wall and the moving member when the moving member is started.

  In addition, as an aspect of contact | abutting with a guide wall part and a rotary body, the aspect by which a rack gear is formed in a guide wall part and the gear meshed | engaged with the rack gear of a guide wall part is engraved on the side surface of a rotary body. Is done.

  In the gaming machine D10, the rotating body includes a gear-shaped tooth portion carved on a side surface, and the guide wall portion includes a rack gear portion meshed with the tooth portion. .
