When changing from the expanded state to the contracted state, the procedure is reversed. Specifically, the engaging projection 65T of the front driven part 65 is on the left side of the inner surface of the elongated hole 64N of the driving part 64. It is pushed to the facing surface, and the engaging projection 65T of the remaining driven part 65 is pushed to the left-facing surface of the inner surface of the elongated hole 65N of the previous driven part 65.

Next, the power transmission from the drive source 44 to the main part 64 will be described. This power transmission is performed via the relay lever 71 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. The relay lever 71 has a strip-like shape extending linearly in the vertical direction and is superposed on the rear surface of the support plate 53 of the slide base 51. The lower end of the relay lever 71 is connected to a turntable 72 attached to the lower end of the rear surface of the support plate 53. More specifically, the rotary disk 72 has a teardrop shape in which a triangular plate is connected to the disk from the lower left, and the relay lever 71 is connected to the triangular plate portion.

The turntable 72 has a rotation axis in the thickness direction of the support plate 53, and is attached to the support plate 53 so as to be freely rotatable. The rotation shaft portion 72J of the turntable 72 penetrates the support plate 53 and the lower ends of the plurality of driven parts 65, and communicates with the lower ends of the main parts 64 (see FIG. 4) of the movable decorative portion 61. Then, the main part 64 rotates integrally with the turntable 72.

The intermediate portion of the relay lever 71 is connected to a swing lever 73 rotatably attached to the support plate 53. The swing lever 73 is arranged above the turntable 72, and the distance from the rotation center of the swing lever 73 to the connection portion between the swing lever 73 and the relay lever 71 is the distance from the rotation center of the turntable 72 to the turntable. It is the same as the distance to the connecting portion between the 72 and the relay lever 71. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the relay lever 71 is connected to the rotary disk 72 and the swing lever 73 arranged vertically, it is stable in the vertical direction as the rotary disk 72 and the swing lever 73 rotate. It will be possible to move to.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, an engaging protrusion 71T protruding rearward is provided at the upper end of the relay lever 71. The engaging protrusion 71T is engaged with a guide groove 55 formed on the front surface of the main plate 42 of the fixed base 41. In the guide groove 55, the first straight line portion 55A and the second straight line portion 55B extending linearly in the left-right direction are provided at both ends by shifting them in the vertical direction, and the first straight line portion extends so as to intersect with each other in the left-right direction. The intermediate portion 56 is provided with an intermediate connecting portion 56 that connects the 55A and the second straight portion 55B. Specifically, the first straight line portion 55A (shown on the right side in FIGS. 8 and 9) arranged on the left side is located below the second straight line portion 55B arranged on the right side, and the intermediate connecting portion 56 is located. , It slopes upward to the right and gently curves in an arc shape that is convex downward.

When the slide base 51 moves from the first slide position to the second slide position by receiving the power from the drive source 44, the relay lever 71 supported by the support plate 53 of the slide base 51 also moves with the movement of the slide base 51. And move to the right. Here, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, with the slide base 51 arranged at the first slide position, the engaging protrusion 71T of the relay lever 71 is connected to the first straight line portion 55A of the guide groove 55. It has been accepted. Then, when the slide base 51 moves toward the second slide position, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the engaging protrusion 71T moves to the right in the guide groove 55 and is received by the intermediate connecting portion 56. Will be done. Here, since the intermediate connecting portion 56 is inclined upward to the right, the engaging protrusion 71T is lifted by the lower surface of the intermediate connecting portion 56 of the guide groove 55, and the relay lever 71 moves upward. Then, the turntable 72 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the rear side of the support plate 53, and the main part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61 rotates integrally with the turntable 72.

As the slide base 51 moves to the second slide position, the relay lever 71 continues to rise while the engaging protrusion 71T moves through the intermediate connecting portion 56 of the guide groove 55, and the main part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61. Continues to rotate integrally with the turntable 72. Then, when the engaging protrusion 71T passes through the intermediate connecting portion 56 of the guide groove 55 and reaches the second straight line portion 55B, the relay lever 71 stops rising and the rotation of the main part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61 also stops. Then, when the slide base 51 is arranged at the second slide position, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the engaging protrusion 71T is received by the second straight portion 55B of the guide groove 55, and the movable decorative portion 61 The driving part 64 is arranged at the terminal position. At this time, the movable decorative portion 61 is in the expanded state (see FIG. 6).

When the slide base 51 returns from the second slide position to the first slide position, the engaging protrusion 71T moves to the left in the guide groove 55 as the slide base 51 moves. When the engaging protrusion 71T is receiving the intermediate connecting portion 56, the engaging protrusion 71T is pushed down to the upper surface of the intermediate connecting portion 56, and the relay lever 71 moves downward. Then, the turntable 72 rotates clockwise when viewed from the rear side of the support plate 53 (see the change from FIG. 13 to FIG. 11), and the main part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61 rotates integrally with the turntable 72. do. When the engaging protrusion 71T passes through the intermediate connecting portion 56 and reaches the first straight line portion 55A, the lowering of the relay lever 71 stops, and the rotation of the main part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61 also stops. Then, when the slide base 51 returns to the first slide position, the engaging protrusion 71T is received by the first straight line portion 55A, and the main part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61 is arranged at the starting end position. At this time, the movable decorative portion 61 returns to the contracted state (see FIG. 3).

In the gaming machine 10, when the movable decorative portion 61 returns from the deployed state to the contracted state, the main part 64 moves against gravity. Therefore, when the movable decorative portion 61 returns to the contracted state, the load on the drive source 44 becomes larger than when the movable decorative portion 61 changes to the expanded state. In order to reduce the load on the drive source 44, the gaming machine 10 is provided with an assist spring 75 that assists the movement of the driving part 64 against the gravity.

As shown in FIG. 8, the assist spring 75 urges the relay lever 71 downward to urge the rotary disk 72, which rotates integrally with the main part 64, in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the rear side. Specifically, the assist spring 75 is hooked on a hook 75F provided at a portion near the lower end of the back surface of the support plate 53 and an intermediate portion of the relay lever 71 to urge the relay lever 71 downward.

The assist spring 75 is longer than the natural length in a state where the slide base 51 is arranged at the first slide position (the position of the slide base 51 shown in FIGS. 3, 8 and 9), and the relay lever 71 is pressed. It is urging downwards. Then, when the slide base 51 moves to the second slide position (the position of the slide base 51 shown in FIGS. 6 and 13) and the relay lever 71 moves upward, the urging force of the assist spring 75 gradually becomes stronger.

By the way, in the gaming machine 10, the relay lever 71 is urged downward even when the movable decorative portion 61 is in the deployed state. Therefore, when the drive source 44 is turned off, the relay lever 71 receives the urging force of the assist spring 75. It is conceivable that the movable decorative portion 61 moves downward and returns to the contracted state. However, in the gaming machine 10, when the movable decorative portion 61 is in the deployed state, the engaging protrusion 71T of the relay lever 71 is the inner surface of the second straight line portion 55B of the guide groove 55 (specifically, the second straight line). It comes into contact with the inner surface of the portion 55B facing upward). Here, since the second straight line portion 55B extends linearly in the left-right direction and the engaging protrusion 71T is urged in the direction orthogonal to the second straight line portion 55B, the engaging protrusion 71T is the second straight line. It does not move along the portion 55B. As a result, even if the drive source 44 is turned off when the movable decorative portion 61 is in the deployed state, the relay lever 71 does not move downward, and the movable decorative portion 61 is prevented from returning to the contracted state. In other words, in order to keep the movable decorative portion 61 in the deployed state, it is not necessary to keep the drive source 44 on, and the load on the drive source 44 is reduced.

This concludes the description of the configuration of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. According to the gaming machine 10, it is possible to achieve the following excellent effects.

According to the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the movable decorative portion 61 rotates while moving to the right, the movement of the movable decorative portion 61 can be diversified. Moreover, in this configuration, the movement and rotation of the movable decorative portion 61 in the first direction are achieved by one drive source 44, so that the control of the drive source 44 can be controlled as compared with the case where a plurality of drive sources are provided. It will be easy.

Further, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the engaging protrusion 71T moves along the guide groove 55 as the slide base 51 moves. Since the intermediate portion of the guide groove 55 is provided with an intermediate connecting portion 56 that is inclined in both the left-right direction and the up-down direction, the engaging protrusion 71T is generated by moving the slide base 51 left and right. It is possible to move the relay lever 71 upward by moving upward. As described above, according to the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the relay lever can be moved upward by a simple configuration.

Further, the fixed base 41 is provided with a linear motion guide hole 42A extending in the lateral direction, and the slide base 51 is provided with a pair of engaging protrusions 52T and 52T that engage with the linear motion guide hole 42A.
