Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a game machine that rotates a decorative body by a driving force of a driving source is known. For example, the gaming machine disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a step motor, a cam gear, an effect member, a shaft portion, and a lever. The step motor is an example of a drive source and is connected to the cam gear. The cam gear has a long hole. The effect member is a decorative body that is long in a predetermined direction. The lever is fixed to one end of the effect member and is rotatably supported by the shaft. The lever has a pin that is movably inserted into the long hole of the cam gear. When the cam gear rotates as the step motor is driven, the wall portion forming the long hole pushes the pin. When the lever rotates about the shaft, the effect member rotates between the exposed position and the stored position. The exposure position is the position where the effect member is located in front of the display surface of the gaming machine. The storage position is an arrangement position of the effect member that is invisible when viewed from the front. The effect member at the exposed position extends substantially leftward from the shaft portion when viewed from the front. The effect member in the storage position extends substantially upward from the shaft portion when viewed from the front. When the effect member rotates between the exposed position and the storage position, the center of gravity of the effect member is displaced in the vertical direction.

JP, 2008-200193, A

  In the above gaming machine, when the effect member is stopped at the exposed position, the lever may rotate around the shaft portion due to the weight of the effect member. Therefore, there is a possibility that the rotation position of the effect member that is stopped is not stable.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which the rotating position of the rotating decorative body is prevented from changing due to its own weight when the rotating decorative body that rotates so that the height of the center of gravity changes is stopped. It is to be.

In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the first rotation position is centered on the first axis extending in the predetermined direction at a position separated from the center of gravity, and the center of gravity is at a position lower than that at the first rotation position. A decorative body rotatable between two rotation positions, wherein an opening edge portion forming a long hole in a direction orthogonal to the first axis is on a side opposite to the center of gravity with respect to the first axis. A rotating ornament provided, a rotatable rotatable about a second axis parallel to the first axis, inserted through the elongated hole, and slidable with respect to the opening edge, A drive source for rotating the rotating portion about the second axis , a fixing member fixed to the game board, and a wall portion provided to the fixing member at a position aligned with the opening edge portion in the predetermined direction. A specific rotation part that is the rotation part that is inserted into the elongated hole at the first rotation position, and a facing wall part that faces from the second axis side, and is at the first rotation position. The rotation direction of the opening edge portion when the rotary ornament rotates to the second rotation position is a rotation direction toward the second axis side.

  According to the above configuration, the rotating portion that rotates the second axis slides with respect to the opening edge portion, so that the rotating decorative body changes the height of the center of gravity while changing the first rotating position and the second rotating position. Rotate between. When the rotary ornament is stopped at the first rotation position, the first moment acts on the rotary ornament. The first moment is a moment that attempts to rotate the rotary ornament to the second rotation position, and is generated due to the weight of the rotary ornament. Even in this case, the rotating part prevents the opening edge from rotating toward the second axis. Therefore, the gaming machine can prevent the rotating decorative body stopped at the first rotating position from rotating toward the second rotating position due to the weight of the rotating decorative body. Therefore, when the rotating decorative body that rotates so that the height of the center of gravity changes is stopped, a gaming machine that suppresses the rotational position of the rotating decorative body from changing due to the weight of the rotating decorative body is realized.

Further, even when the first moment acts on the rotating decorative body that is stopped at the first rotation position, the facing edge portion comes into contact with the specific rotation portion from the second axis side, thereby opening edge portions. Is prevented from rotating. Therefore, the gaming machine can further reliably prevent the rotating decoration body stopped at the first rotation position from rotating to the second rotation position due to its own weight.

  In the gaming machine, the fixing member may rotatably support the rotating decorative body. The fixing member has a function of preventing the specific rotating portion from rotating when the rotating decorative body is stopped at the first rotation position, and a function of rotatably supporting the rotating decorative body. Since the above two functions are achieved by one member, the game machine can be downsized.

  In the gaming machine, a support member that supports the drive source, a first rotation support portion that is provided on the support member, and that supports the rotating portion rotatably around the second axis, and the fixing member. A second rotation support portion that is provided and that rotatably supports the rotation portion from the side opposite to the first rotation support portion may be provided. In this case, the rotating part is supported by the first rotating support part and the second rotating support part. When the rotating part rotates the rotating decorative body between the first rotating position and the second rotating position as the drive source is driven, the rotation of the rotating part is stable even if a load acts on the rotating part. Turn into.

  In the gaming machine, the facing wall portion may extend in a direction in which the rotating portion rotates, and the rotating portion may slide. Since the opposing wall portion guides the rotation of the rotating portion, the gaming machine can stabilize the rotation of the rotating decoration body accompanying the driving of the drive source.

  In the gaming machine, the facing wall part is a first facing wall part facing the specific rotating part from the second axis side, and the first facing wall part is facing the specific rotating part. You may provide the 2nd opposing wall part which opposes from the other side. In this case, the force that is directed from the first rotation position to the second rotation position in the direction opposite to the direction in which the rotating decoration body rotates suddenly acts on the rotating decoration body that is stopped at the first rotation position. In this case, the specific rotation part contacts the second facing wall part. As a result, the rotation of the rotating portion is prevented, so that the rotation of the opening edge portion is prevented. Therefore, the rotary ornament is hard to rotate from the first rotation position. Therefore, the rotating decorative body stopped at the first rotation position is hard to rotate even when a sudden force is applied from the outside.

When the first ornament 410 is in the first presentation position, the ornament portion 412 is located in front of the display surface 28A (see FIG. 2). When the first ornament 410 is in the first presentation position, the center of gravity G of the first ornament 410 is in a lower position than when it is in the first standby position (see FIGS. 16A and 16C). .. Further, the arrangement position of the pair of first edge portions 416A of the opening edge portion 416 when the first ornament 410 is at the first standby position is referred to as a “first position” (see FIG. 7), and the first ornament The arrangement position of the pair of first edge portions 416A when 410 is in the first effect position is referred to as a "second position" (see FIG. 17C). The region through which the pair of first edge portions 416A passes when moving between the first position and the second position is separated from the movable region of the cylindrical portion 492A described above.

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 7, when the first ornament 410 is in the first standby position, the bearing 492 of the movable portion 490 is located between the pair of first edge portions 416A. Further, when the first ornament 410 is in the first standby position, the tubular portion 492A of the bearing 492 is located on the counterclockwise side end portion of the first facing wall portion 381 and the second facing wall portion 382 in a front view. It is located between them (see FIG. 21). In other words, the first facing wall portion 381 faces the specific movable portion 490 from the axis line 487A side, and the second facing wall portion 382 faces the specific movable portion 490 from the side opposite to the axis line 487A. To do. The specific movable portion 490 is the movable portion 490 when the first ornament 410 is at the first standby position. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the first ornament 410 is in the first standby position, the arm portion 489A of the rotating member 489 extends downward from the axis line 487A (see FIG. 9).

  As shown in FIG. 9, an opening 419 is provided on the right side of the decorative portion 412 of the first decorative body 410. The opening 419 forms an elongated hole that penetrates the decorative portion 412 in the front-rear direction. A bearing 378 is slidably fitted in the opening 419. The bearing 378 is fixed to the decorative member 370. The decorative member 370 is a plate-shaped member that covers the extending portion 415 of the first decorative body 410 from the front side. The decorative member 370 of this example is formed of a non-translucent resin material. Therefore, the extending portion 415 of the first decorative body 410 becomes invisible from the front due to the decorative member 370.

  The decorative member 370 is rotatably supported by the support shaft 372. The support shaft 372 protrudes forward from a portion of the upper fixing portion 409A that is below the opening edge portion 416. The support shaft 372 is below the movable region of the extending portion 415 of the first ornament 410. By urging the bearing 378 while the opening 419 rotates integrally with the first decorative body 410, the decorative member 370 can rotate around the support shaft 372.

  The weight of the decorative member 370 is significantly lighter than the weight of the first decorative body 410. Therefore, the center of gravity when the first decorative body 410 and the decorative member 370 are regarded as an integral member is close to the center of gravity G (see FIG. 21) of the first decorative body 410, and extends along the axis 418A. It is located on the opposite side of 415. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the center of gravity when the first decorative body 410 and the decorative member 370 are regarded as an integral member is assumed to coincide with the center of gravity G.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, a support shaft 482 is provided in a portion of the front support portion 401 on the left side of the rotation shaft 487. The support shaft 482 extends forward from the front support portion 401. The second decorative body 420 is rotatably supported on the front portion of the support shaft 482. The second ornament 420 is arranged at a position in the front-rear direction behind the first ornament 410. The second decorative body 420 is a plate-shaped member that extends downward from the support shaft 482 and has a substantially rectangular shape in a front view. The upper portion of the second decorative body 420 is covered with the upper fixing portion 409A from the front side. The lower portion of the second decorative body 420 is arranged on the left side of the upper shielding portion 408B and is exposed toward the front.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a connecting portion 422 is provided on the rear surface of the upper portion of the second decorative body 420. The connecting portion 422 of the present example is a bearing provided so as to project rearward from the second decorative body 420. The connecting portion 422 is slidably fitted in the opening 392B of the connecting gear 392 described above.

  As shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B, the tubular portion 492A (see FIG. 7) of the bearing 492 slides on the first facing wall portion 381 and the second facing wall portion 382 of the insertion portion 380. While rotating. At the same time, the tubular portion 492A slides along the pair of first edge portions 416A. However, since the first edge portion 416A is retracted from the movable area of the tubular portion 492A, the rotational force of the bearing 492 is not transmitted to the opening edge portion 416. That is, for the predetermined time after the right rendering device 400 starts operating, the transmission mechanism 450 (see FIG. 18) causes the rotational movement force of the rotating member 489 (see FIG. 18) to move the movable portion 490 (see FIG. 7). From the opening edge portion 416 is restricted. Since the transmission mechanism 450 (see FIG. 18) is in the regulated state, even if the motor 480 is rotationally driven, the first decorative body 410 maintains the state in the first retracted position (FIGS. 16A and 16B). reference).

  As shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, the driving force of the motor 480 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 487 and, at the same time, transmitted through the coupling gears 398 and 392 and the opening 392B in order, and the second ornament It is transmitted to 420. Accordingly, the second decorative body 420, the third decorative body 430, and the fourth decorative body 440 operate in conjunction with each other. While the first decorative body 410 is in the first retracted position, the second decorative body 420, the third decorative body 430, and the fourth decorative body 440 are respectively in the second intermediate position, the third intermediate position, and the fourth intermediate position.

While sliding against the second edge portion 416B, the second edge portion 416B, which is above the second edge portion 416B, comes into contact with the second edge portion 416B and urges the second edge portion 416B upward. The first decorative body 410 is rotated clockwise (direction of arrow K) in a front view. That is, the transmission mechanism 450 (see FIG. 18) is in an allowable state in which the rotational movement force of the rotating member 489 (see FIG. 7) is allowed to be transmitted from the movable portion 490 (see FIG. 7) to the opening edge portion 416. .. The center of gravity G of the first decorative body 410 is displaced downward by rotating the first decorative body 410 from the first standby position toward the first effect position (see FIGS. 16B and 16C). The pair of first edge portions 416A of the opening edge portion 416 moves from the first position toward the second position.

  With the rotation of the first decorative body 410, the opening 419 biases the bearing 378 downward (see FIGS. 17B and 17C). As a result, the decorative member 370 rotates counterclockwise in a front view (see FIGS. 16B and 16C). That is, the first decorative body 410 rotates toward the first effect position while the decorative member 370 is driven.

  As shown in FIGS. 18B and 18C, the driving force of the motor 480 is transmitted to the second decorative body 420 even after the transmission mechanism 450 switches from the regulated state to the permitted state. As a result, the second ornament 420, the third ornament 430, and the fourth ornament 440 continue to operate. When the first decorative body 410 moves to the first effect position, the second decorative object 420, the third decorative object 430, and the fourth decorative object 440 are respectively in the second effect position, the third effect position, and the fourth effect position. It is displaced to the presentation position (see FIG. 16 (c)). The motor 480 stops the rotation drive. At this time, the pair of first edge portions 416A stop at the second position.

  Hereinafter, the first decorative body 410, the second decorative body 420, the third decorative body 430, and the fourth decorative body 440 are respectively the first effect position, the second effect position, the third effect position, and the fourth effect position.

After the right rendering device 400 enters the rendering state, the motor 480 rotationally drives in the second direction opposite to the first direction. As a result, the right effect device 400 in the effect state is sequentially switched to the intermediate state and the initial state, and the motor 480 stops the rotational drive in the second direction. The right rendering device 400 stops the operation.

  The right effect device 400 may not change from the initial state to the effect state. The right effect device 400 may return to the initial state without switching to the effect state after changing from the initial state to the intermediate state, for example. In this case, after the right rendering device 400 is in the intermediate state, the motor 480 switches the rotational driving direction from the first direction to the second direction. The first ornament 410 remains stationary at the first standby position, while the second ornament 420, the third ornament 430, and the fourth ornament 440 operate. By repeatedly switching the state of the right rendering device 400 between the initial state and the rendering state, the second decorative body 420 reciprocally rotates between the second standby position and the second intermediate position, and the third decorative body 430, Reciprocating between the third standby position and the third intermediate position, the fourth decorative body 440 reciprocally rotates between the fourth standby position and the fourth intermediate position. In the present example, the right performance device 400 operates in accordance with the content of the production of the pachinko machine 1 (for example, reach production, presentation during jackpot game, etc.), and the operation from the initial state to the intermediate state, and from the initial state to the production state. One of the operations to switch to is executed. Accordingly, the right rendering device 400 can diversify the operation mode of the ornament.

<5. Operation of left rendering device 700>
The operation of the left effect device 700 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 15 to 20. It is assumed that the left effect device 700 before the operation is in the initial state (see FIG. 12). When the left effect device 700 is in the initial state, the first movable decorative body 710, the second movable decorative body 720, the third movable decorative body 730, and the fourth movable decorative body 740 are in the first retracted position and the second movable decorative body, respectively. The retracted position, the third retracted position, and the fourth retracted position.

  The motor 780 is rotationally driven in the third direction. The third direction is a direction in which the motor 780 is rotationally driven so as to rotate the motor gear counterclockwise in rear view. The driving force of the motor 780 is sequentially transmitted through the connecting gear 680, the transmission gear 682, the shaft member 683, and the rotating body 684. The rotator 684 rotates clockwise in rear view. As a result, the bearing 689 (see FIG. 14) slides with respect to the opening 716 while rotating counterclockwise around the shaft member 683 in a front view. The bearing 689 relatively moves to the right side with respect to the extending portion 715. As a result, the first movable decorative body 710 rotates clockwise (in the direction of arrow N) in the rear view, with the support portion 711 as the center. As the first movable decorative body 710 rotates, the decorative member 765 rotates clockwise around the support shaft 765A in a rear view.

  The driving force of the motor 780 is transmitted to the rotating body 684 and simultaneously to the rotating member 675 via the gear 677. The rotary member 675 rotates clockwise in a rear view together with the rotary shaft 676. As a result, the second movable decorative body 720 in the second retracted position rotates clockwise about the rotation shaft 676 in the rear view. The third movable decorative body 730 moves from the third retracted position to the third operating position in association with the rotation of the second movable decorative body 720, and the fourth movable decorative body 740 moves from the fourth retracted position to the third retracted position. 4. Rotate toward the operating position.

  When the first movable decorative body 710 is rotated to the first operating position (see FIGS. 19 and 20), the second movable decorative body 720, the third movable decorative body 730, and the fourth movable decorative body 740 are respectively Displace to the second operating position, the third operating position, and the fourth operating position. Then, the motor 780 stops rotating. Hereinafter, the first movable decorative body 710, the second movable decorative body 720, the third movable decorative body 730, and the fourth movable decorative body 740 are respectively the first operating position, the second operating position, the third operating position, and The state of the left effect device 700 in the fourth operating position is referred to as a “effect state”.

  After the left effect device 700 is in the effect state, the motor 780 is rotationally driven in the fourth direction opposite to the third direction. As a result, the left effect device 700 switches from the effect state to the initial state.

<6. Interlocking mode of right rendering device 400 and left rendering device 700>
Hereinafter, an example of the interlocking aspect of the right rendering device 400 and the left rendering device 700 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The pachinko machine 1 simultaneously operates the right rendering device 400 and the left rendering device 700, respectively. Then, the pachinko machine 1 simultaneously switches the right rendering device 400 and the left rendering device 700 from the initial state to the rendering state. In this case, the first ornament 410, the second ornament 420, the third ornament 430, and the fourth ornament 440, the first movable ornament 710, the second movable ornament 720, the third movable ornament 730, The eight ornaments including the fourth movable ornament 740 and the fourth movable ornament 740 are respectively displaced from a position retracted from the display surface 28A in a front view to a position overlapping the display surface 28A in the front-rear direction. Since the area of the display surface 28A that can be visually recognized from the front is sharply reduced while the above eight ornaments are displaced, the pachinko machine 1 can improve the effect of operating the ornaments.

<7. Right rendering device 400 in standby state>
The first decorative body 410 when the right rendering device 400 is in the standby state will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 21. When the first ornament 410 is stopped at the first standby position, a first moment (not shown) acts on the first ornament 410 due to its own weight. The first moment is a moment to rotate the first decorative body 410 toward the first effect position (that is, in the direction of arrow K). The first moment is generated due to the own weight of the first decorative body 410. In this case, the pair of first edge portions 416A, which are portions of the opening edge 416 that face the cylindrical portion 492A of the bearing 492, try to rotate toward the axis 487A by the first moment. The lower first edge portion 416A of the pair of first edge portions 416A contacts the specific movable portion 490. As a result, the specific movable section 490 receives a force F1 that faces the axis 487A. However, the arm portion 489A extending downward from the axis line 487A prevents the specific movable section 490 from being displaced toward the axis line 487A side. At the same time, the first facing wall portion 381 prevents the tubular portion 492A of the bearing 492 from being displaced upward. As a result, the rotation of the first decorative body 410 is blocked. Therefore, the first ornament 410 can be stably stopped at the first standby position.

  In addition, when a force (not shown) that faces upward is accidentally applied to the first decorative body 410 that is stationary at the first standby position, the first decorative body 410 moves toward the front around the axis 418A. Attempt to rotate clockwise (in the direction opposite to arrow K). The upper first edge portion 416A of the pair of first edge portions 416A comes into contact with the tubular portion 492A of the bearing 492 and further urges it downward. Even in this case, the tubular portion 492A contacts the second facing wall portion 382 of the insertion portion 380 and is prevented from being displaced downward. As a result, the rotation of the first decorative body 410 is prevented. Therefore, the first ornament 410 can be stably stopped at the first standby position.

<8. Example of operational effects of the present disclosure>
As described above, the specific movable portion 490 prevents the first edge portion 416A from being displaced toward the axis 487A. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can suppress the rotation of the first decorative body 410 that is stationary at the first standby position toward the first effect position. Therefore, when the rotatable first decorative body 410 is stopped so that the height of the center of gravity G changes, the pachinko machine that suppresses the first decorative body 410 from rotating due to its own weight. 1 is realized. In this example, the first decorative body 410 that is stationary at the first standby position is retracted upward from the display surface 28A in a front view. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 does not rotate the first decorative body 410 that is stationary at the first standby position until it overlaps the display surface 28A in front view due to the weight of the first decorative body 410. Can be suppressed.

  Even when the first moment acts on the first decorative body 410 stopped at the first standby position, the tubular portion 492A (that is, the specific movable portion 490) is prevented from being displaced toward the axis 487A. The opposing wall portion 381 blocks. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can more reliably suppress the rotation of the first decorative body 410 stopped at the first standby position to the first effect position due to the weight of the first decorative body 410.

  The fixing member 409 rotatably supports the first decorative body 410 via the shaft member 418. An opening edge 416 is formed in the fixing member 409. Therefore, the fixing member 409 has a function of preventing the specific movable portion 490 from being displaced when the first ornament 410 is stopped at the first standby position, and rotatably supports the first ornament 410. With function. Since the above two functions are achieved by the fixing member 409 which is one member, the pachinko machine 1 can be downsized.

  The rotary shaft 487 that supports the movable portion 490 is supported by the tubular portion 403 of the front support portion 401 and the rotary support portion 409C of the upper fixed portion 409A. The rotation support portion 409C supports the rotation shaft 487 from the side opposite to the tubular portion 403 with respect to the movable portion 490. When the movable portion 490 rotates the first decorative body 410 between the first standby position and the first effect position with the driving of the motor 480, the movable portion 490 rotates even if a load acts on the movable portion 490. The shaft 487 is hard to bend in the vertical direction. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 stabilizes the rotation of the movable portion 490 accompanying the driving of the motor 480.

  The insertion portion 380 extends in the rotation direction about the axis 487A. That is, the insertion portion 380 extends in the direction in which the movable portion 490 rotates. The tubular portion 492A of the bearing 492 of the movable portion 490 rotates while sliding on the first facing wall portion 381 and the second facing wall portion 382 of the insertion portion 380. Since the first facing wall portion 381 and the second facing wall portion 382 guide the rotation of the tubular portion 492A, the pachinko machine 1 can stabilize the rotation of the first decorative body 410 accompanying the driving of the motor 480.

  Even when a force (not shown) that suddenly faces upward is applied to the first decorative body 410 that is stationary at the first standby position, the tubular portion 492A causes the second facing wall portion 382 to move. Contact against. Accordingly, the pachinko machine 1 can prevent the first decorative body 410 from rotating clockwise from the first standby position in a front view. Therefore, the first decorative body 410 stopped at the first standby position does not easily rotate even when a sudden force acts from the outside.

  When the first decorative body 410 rotates, the opening 419 of the decorative portion 412 biases the bearing 378 to rotate the decorative member 370. The rotation center (shaft member 418) of the first decorative body 410 and the rotation center (support shaft 372) of the decoration member 370 are different from each other. Therefore, the first decorative body 410 and the decorative member 370 rotate in conjunction with each other while changing their positional relationship. Accordingly, the movements of the first decorative body 410 and the decorative member 370 look irregular. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can improve the effect of operating the decorative body. Further, the extending portion 715 of the first decorative body 410 has an opening edge portion 416 into which the bearing 492 of the movable portion 490 is slidably fitted. The opening edge 416 and the bearing 492 are members that transmit power, and are not decorative members that are visually recognized by the player. Therefore, the opening edge 416 and the bearing 492 are preferably invisible to the player. In the above embodiment, the decorative member 370 covers the extending portion 715 from the front, so that the opening edge portion 416 and the bearing 492 are not visible. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can improve the appearance of the first decorative body 410.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. The opening edge portion 416 (see FIGS. 7 and 21) may not include the pair of first edge portions 416A. In this case, the opening edge portion 416 may have a shape in which the right side portion is cut off from the pair of second edge portions 416B. In this case, the opening edge portion 416 opens not only in the front-back direction but also in the right direction. When the movable portion 490 is arranged in the space on the right side of the pair of second edge portions 416B, the transmission mechanism 450 is in the restricted state. On the other hand, when the tubular portion 492A of the movable portion 490 enters from the right side between the pair of second edge portions 416B, the transmission mechanism 450 is in the allowable state.

  The axis lines 418A and 487A may extend in the left-right direction instead of extending in the front-rear direction, or may extend in the left-right direction in parallel with the horizontal direction and incline with respect to the left-right direction and the front-rear direction. ..

  In the above embodiment, the first ornament 410 has a shape in which the center of gravity G is located on the side opposite to the extension 415 with respect to the axis 418A, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first ornament 410 may have a shape in which the center of gravity G is located on the side opposite to the ornament portion 412 with respect to the axis 418A.

  The length of the decorative portion 412 in the extending direction may be the same as the length of the extending portion 415 in the extending direction, or may be shorter than the length of the extending portion 415 in the extending direction. Further, the center of gravity G may be located on the right side of the axis 418A, for example, by adopting a material having a larger specific gravity than the material of the decorative portion 412 as the material of the extending portion 415.

  The extended portion 415 is not limited to extend from the shaft member 418 in the direction opposite to the decorative portion 412. For example, the extending portion 415 may extend so as to be orthogonal to the decorative portion 412 in a front view, or may extend so as to be inclined with respect to the decorative portion 412 in a front view.

  In the above embodiment, the first ornament 410, the second ornament 420, the third ornament 430, and the fourth ornament 440 are all located at the position retracted from the display surface 28A and the display surface 28A when viewed from the front. Displace between the overlapping position. Alternatively, at least one of the four ornaments may be displaced in a predetermined direction while maintaining a state of being retracted from the display surface 28A in a front view, or may be displaced in the predetermined direction. It may be displaced in a predetermined direction while maintaining the overlapping state with the eyes.
