The operation of the ball removing lever 52 is usually performed in a state where a box (generally referred to as "Senryobako") for receiving the balls discharged from the lower plate 50 is placed below the lower plate 50. An operation handle 51 is arranged on the right side of the lower plate 50 as described above, and an ashtray 53 is attached to the left side of the lower plate 50.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 13 has a base plate 60 machined into a substantially square shape in front view, a large number of nails (not shown) for ball guidance, a windmill, rails 61, 62, and a general prize. The opening 63, the first winning opening 64, the second winning opening 640, the variable winning device 65, the through gate 67, the variable display device unit 80, etc. are assembled, and the peripheral portion thereof is the back surface of the inner frame 12 (see FIG. 1). Attached to the side. The base plate 60 is made of a light-transmitting resin material, and is formed so that the player can visually recognize various structures arranged on the back side of the base plate 60 from the front side thereof. The general winning opening 63, the first winning opening 64, the second winning opening 640, the variable winning device 65, and the variable display device unit 80 are arranged in the through holes formed in the base plate 60 by router processing, and are arranged in the through hole of the game board 13. It is fixed from the front side with tapping screws or the like.

The front central portion of the game board 13 can be visually recognized from the front side of the inner frame 12 through the window portion 14c (see FIG. 1) of the front frame 14. Hereinafter, the configuration of the game board 13 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 2.

An outer rail 62 formed by bending a strip-shaped metal plate into a substantially arc shape is planted on the front surface of the game board 13, and a strip-shaped metal plate is placed inside the outer rail 62 in the same manner as the outer rail 62. The arc-shaped inner rail 61 formed in 1 is planted. The inner rail 61 and the outer rail 62 surround the front outer periphery of the game board 13, and the game board 13 and the glass unit 16 (see FIG. 1) surround the front and back, so that the front surface of the game board 13 is surrounded by a ball. A game area in which the game is played is formed by the behavior of. The game area is an area (a winning opening or the like is arranged and fired) which is the front surface of the game board 13 and is divided by two rails 61 and 62 and a resin outer edge member 73 connecting the rails. This is the area where the sphere flows down).

The two rails 61 and 62 are provided to guide the ball launched from the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 4) to the upper part of the game board 13. A return ball prevention member 68 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail 61 (upper left portion in FIG. 2) to prevent the ball once guided to the upper part of the game board 13 from returning to the ball guide passage. Will be 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 flight portion of the ball, and the ball launched with a predetermined momentum hits the return rubber 69 and has momentum. Is attenuated and bounced back toward the center.

In the lower left side of the front view (lower left side of FIG. 2) of the game area, first symbol display devices 37A and 37B including a plurality of LEDs as light emitting means and a 7-segment display are arranged. 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 37A and 37B are configured to be used properly depending on whether the ball has won the first winning opening 64 or the second winning 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 one. The symbol display device 37B is configured to operate.

Further, the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B use LEDs to indicate whether the pachinko machine 10 is in the probable change, the time reduction, or the normal state by the lighting state, or indicate whether the pachinko machine 10 is in the changing state or not by the lighting state. , Whether the stop symbol is a symbol corresponding to a probable change jackpot, a symbol corresponding to a normal jackpot, or an off symbol is indicated by the lighting state, the number of reserved balls is indicated by the lighting state, and the round during the jackpot is indicated by the 7-segment display device. Display the number and error. It should be noted that the plurality of LEDs are configured so that the emission colors (for example, red, green, blue) of the respective LEDs are different, and the combination of the emission colors may indicate various gaming states of the pachinko machine 10 with a small number of LEDs. can.

In the pachinko machine 10, a lottery is performed when the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640 have won a prize. In the lottery, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not it is a big hit (big hit lottery), and if it is determined to be a big hit, it also determines the type of the 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 result of the lottery is a big hit as a stop symbol after the end of the fluctuation, and if it is a big hit, a symbol corresponding to the jackpot type is shown. ..

Here, the "15R probability variation jackpot" is a probability variation jackpot that shifts to a high probability state after the jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds, and the "4R probability variation jackpot" is a jackpot with a maximum number of rounds of 4 rounds. It is a probabilistic jackpot that shifts to a high-probability state after. Further, "15R normal jackpot" is a jackpot in which the maximum number of rounds shifts to a low probability state after a jackpot of 15 rounds, and the time is shortened during a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuations). be.

In addition, the "high probability state" refers to a state in which the probability of a big hit is increased as an added value after the end of the big hit, that is, during a so-called probability fluctuation (probability change), in other words, a game in which it is easy to shift to a special gaming state. It is the state of. The high-probability state (during probability change) in the present embodiment includes a game state in which the winning 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" means a state in which the probability change is not in progress, and a state in which the jackpot probability is normal, that is, a state in which the jackpot probability is lower than in the probability change state. In the "low probability state", the time saving state (during the time saving) is a state in which the jackpot probability is a normal state, and the jackpot probability remains the same and only the winning probability of the second symbol is increased to increase the second winning opening 640. It refers to the state of the game in which the ball is easy to win. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine 10 is in the normal state, it is a state of the game in which neither the probability change nor the time reduction is performed (the jackpot probability and the hit probability of the second symbol are not increased).

During the probability change and the time reduction, not only the hit probability of the second symbol increases, but also the time when the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is opened is changed, which is a longer time than the normal time. Set. When the electric accessory 640a is in the open state (open state), the ball wins in the second winning opening 640 as compared with the case where the electric accessory 640a is in the closed state (closed state). It will be easy. Therefore, during the probable change or the shortened working hours, it becomes easy for the ball to win the second winning opening 640, and the number of times the big hit lottery is performed can be increased.

It should be noted that, during the probability change or the time reduction, the opening time of the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is not changed, or in addition to changing the opening time, the electric motor is operated once. The change may be made to increase the number of times that the accessory 640a is opened more than in the normal state. Further, during the probability change or the time reduction, the hit probability of the second symbol is not changed, and the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is opened at the time when the electric accessory 640a is opened and the electric accessory 640a is opened at one time. At least one of the number of times may be changed. In addition, during the probability change or the time reduction, the time for opening the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 and the number of times for opening the electric accessory 640a at one time are not performed, and the second symbol is hit. Only the probability may be changed to increase compared to the normal time.

In the game area, a plurality of general winning openings 63 are arranged in which 5 to 15 balls are paid out as prize balls when the balls win a prize. Further, a variable display device unit 80 is arranged in the central portion of the game area. The variable display device unit 80 is triggered by a winning (starting winning) in the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640, and is synchronized with the variable display in the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B to display the third symbol. It is composed of a third symbol display device 81 composed of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply abbreviated as "display device") that performs variable display, and an LED that variablely displays the second symbol triggered by the passage of a sphere of a through gate 67. A second symbol display device (not shown) is provided.

Further, in the variable display device unit 80, a center frame 86 is arranged so as to surround the outer periphery of the third symbol display device 81. The third symbol display device 81 can be visually recognized from the opening opened in the center of the center frame 86. Further, when the projecting operation unit 400 and the combined operation unit 500, which will be described later, are operated, at least a part of the relative displacement member 450 and the driven member 560 project into the opening of the center frame 86 and can be visually recognized through the opening. It is said that. For example, when the projecting motion unit 400 is placed in the rotational position by the first motion (see FIG. 14A), the tip portion of the relative displacement member 450 is made visible through the opening of the center frame 86. When placed in the overhang position by the second operation (see FIG. 15B), substantially the entire relative displacement member 450 is visible through the opening of the center frame 86.

The third symbol display device 81 is composed of a large liquid crystal display having a size of 9 inches, and by controlling the display contents by the display control device 114 (see FIG. 4), for example, the upper, middle, and lower three. Two symbol columns are displayed. Each symbol row is composed of a plurality of symbols (third symbol), and these third symbols are horizontally scrolled for each symbol row, and the third symbol is variably displayed on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81. It has become like. In the third symbol display device 81 of the present embodiment, the game state is displayed by the control of the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4), whereas the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B display the game state. A decorative display is performed according to the display of the symbol display devices 37A and 37B. In addition, instead of the display device, for example, a reel or the like may be used to configure the third symbol display device 81.

The second symbol display device lights the “○” symbol and the “×” symbol as the display symbol (second symbol (not shown)) alternately for a predetermined time each time the sphere passes through the through gate 67. It is a variable display. When the pachinko machine 10 detects that the ball has passed through the through gate 67, a winning lottery is performed. As a result of the winning lottery, if it is a winning, the symbol "○" is stopped and displayed on the second symbol display device after the variation display of the second symbol. Further, if the result of the winning lottery is a failure, the symbol "x" is stopped and displayed on the second symbol display device after the variation display of the third symbol.

In the pachinko machine 10, when the variation display in the second symbol display device is stopped at a predetermined symbol (in the present embodiment, the symbol “○”), the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is set for a predetermined time. It is configured to be in operation (open) only.

The time required for the variation display of the second symbol is set to be shorter during the probability change or the time reduction than when the gaming state is normal. As a result, during the probability change and the time reduction, the variation display of the second symbol is performed in a short time, so that the winning lottery can be performed more than in the normal time. Therefore, since the chances of winning in the winning lottery increase, it is possible to give the player many opportunities to open the electric accessory 640a of the second winning opening 640. Therefore, it is possible to make it easy for the ball to win the second winning opening 640 during the probability change and the time reduction.

In addition, during the probability change or the time reduction, the second winning opening 640 can be reached by other methods such as increasing the opening time and the number of times of opening the electric accessory 640a for each hit. When the ball is in a state where it is easy to win a prize, 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 the variation display of the second symbol is set to be shorter than the normal time during the probability change or the time reduction, the hit probability may be constant regardless of the gaming state, or one hit. The opening time and the number of times of opening the electric accessory 640a may be constant regardless of the gaming state.

The through gate 67 is attached to the game board on the right side in the area below the variable display device unit 80, and among the balls fired on the game board, a part of the balls flowing down to the right side of the game board can pass through. It is configured in. When the ball passes through the through gate 67, a winning lottery for the second symbol is performed. After the winning lottery, the variable display is performed on the second symbol display device, and if the winning lottery result is a hit, the symbol "○" is displayed as the stop symbol of the variable display, and the winning lottery result is not correct. For example, a symbol of "x" is displayed as a stop symbol of the variable display.

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

The variation 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. It may be performed by using a part of the symbol display device 81. 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 reserved balls for the passage of the balls of the through gate 67 is not limited to 4 times, and may be set to 3 times or less, or 5 times or more (for example, 8 times). Further, the number of through gates 67 assembled is not limited to one, and may be a plurality (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, for example, the left side of the variable display device unit 80. Further, since the number of reserved balls is indicated by the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, the lighting display may not be performed by the second symbol holding lamp.

Below the variable display device unit 80, a first winning opening 64 in which a ball can win a prize is arranged. When a ball wins a prize in the first winning opening 64, the first winning opening switch (not shown) provided on the back surface side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control device 110 is caused by turning on the first winning opening switch. A big hit lottery is made in (see FIG. 4), and the display according to the lottery result is shown by the first symbol display device 37A.

On the other hand, on the right side of the front view of the first winning opening 64, a second winning opening 640 in which a ball can win is arranged. When a ball wins in the second winning opening 640, the second winning opening switch (not shown) provided on the back surface side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control device 110 is caused by turning on the second winning opening switch. A big hit lottery is made in (see FIG. 4), and the display according to the lottery result is shown by the first symbol display device 37B.

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

An electric accessory 640a is attached to the second winning opening 640. The electric accessory 640a is configured to be openable and closable, and normally the electric accessory 640a is in a closed state (reduced state), making it difficult for the ball to win a prize in the second winning 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 performed when the ball passes through the through gate 67, the electric accessory 640a is in the open state (enlarged). The state), and the ball is in a state where it is easy to win a prize in the second winning opening 640.

As described above, during the probabilistic change and the time reduction, the probability of hitting the second symbol is higher than during the normal time, and the time required for the variation display of the second symbol is short. The symbol "" is easily displayed, and the number of times that the electric accessory 640a is in the open state (enlarged state) increases. Further, during the probability change and the time reduction, the time during which the electric accessory 640a is released is also longer than during the normal time. Therefore, it is possible to create a state in which the ball is easier to win in the second winning opening 640 than in the normal time during the probability change and the time reduction.

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 in the first winning opening 64 and when the ball wins in the second winning opening 640. However, the probability of becoming a 15R probability variable jackpot as the type of jackpot selected in the case of a jackpot is higher when the ball wins in the second winning opening 640 than when the ball wins in the first winning opening 64. It is set. On the other hand, the first winning opening 64 does not have an electric accessory as in the second winning opening 640, and the ball is in a state where it can always win a prize.

Therefore, in normal times, the electric accessory attached to the second winning opening 640 is 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 by winning the first winning opening 64, many chances of a big hit lottery are obtained, and the big hit is obtained. It is advantageous for the player to aim at that.

On the other hand, during the probability change or the time reduction, by passing the ball through the through gate 67, the electric accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is likely to be in an open state, and it is easy to win the second winning opening 640. Therefore, the ball is launched toward the second winning opening 640 so that the ball passes to the right of the variable display device 80 (so-called "right-handed"), and the electric accessory is opened by passing through the through gate 67. At the same time, it is 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 of the present embodiment fires a ball at the player according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 (whether it is in the probable change, in the time saving, or in the normal state). You can change the method of "left-handed" and "right-handed". Therefore, it is possible to change the way the ball is hit for the player, so that the game can be enjoyed.

Since the structure is substantially the same, only one (distributed on the right side of the front view) will be described, and the description of the other (arranged on the left side of the front view) will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the protrusion operation unit 400 includes a case body 410 forming a skeleton on the back surface side thereof, a drive motor 420 disposed on the front side of the case body 410, and the drive motor 420 thereof. A plurality of gears (pinion gear 431, intermediate gear 432 and crank gear 433) that transmit rotational driving force, a base displacement member 440 rotatably supported by the case body 410, and slide displacement to the base displacement member 440. It is mainly composed of a relative displacement member 450 that is possibly arranged, and a connecting rod 460 that connects between the relative displacement member 450 and the crank gear 433 and is rotatably supported by the case body 410. To.

The case body 410 is made of a resin material, and a storage recess 411 having an outer shape corresponding to a plurality of gears (each gear 431, 432, 433) is recessed on the front surface (front surface) of the case body 410. A rod support shaft 412 is projected from the side of the storage recess 411 (on the right side in FIG. 8A), and a base support shaft 413 is projected below the storage recess 411 (lower side in FIG. 8A). The support shafts 421 and 413 are made of brass and are arranged in a posture parallel to the rotation shafts of the gears 431 to 433.

In the present embodiment, when the base side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are arranged at the retracted position, the displacement members 440, 450, the connecting rod 460, and the gears 431, 432, 433, respectively, are arranged as described later. (See FIG. 13), a storage recess 411 is recessed in front of the case body 410, and each gear 431, 432, 433 is stored in the storage recess 411. As a result, the protrusion operation unit 400 can be miniaturized in the front-rear direction by that amount.

A pinion gear 431 is attached to the drive shaft of the drive motor 420, and an intermediate gear 432 is meshed with the pinion gear 431 and a crank gear 433 is meshed with the intermediate gear 432. Therefore, when the drive shaft of the drive motor 420 is rotationally driven and the pinion gear 431 is rotated, the rotation is transmitted to the crank gear 433 via the intermediate gear 432, and the crank gear 433 is rotated.

The intermediate gear 432 and the crank gear 433 are pivotally supported by the case body 410. Further, each of the gears 431 to 433 is formed as a spur gear whose teeth are engraved on the outer peripheral surface in parallel with the axis of rotation. In this case, the crank gear 433 has a radial decoration formed on its front surface (axial end face), and the diameter of the front portion (axial end face) is larger than that of the tooth tip circle engraved on the outer peripheral surface. It is enlarged and formed so that the teeth can be shielded from the player in the front view.

A crank pin 433a is projected from the front surface (axial end surface) of the crank gear 433 at a position eccentric from the rotation axis of the crank gear 433. The crank pin 433a is a portion connected to the connecting rod 460, is formed as a columnar body parallel to the rotation axis of the crank gear 433, and is slidably inserted into the rod groove 463 of the connecting rod 460. (See FIGS. 9 and 10). As a result, when the crank gear 433 is rotated, the rotation is transmitted to the connecting rod 460 via the crank pin 433a.

The base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are effect members for performing an effect by being displaced from the retracted position to the overhang position (see FIGS. 5 and 6), and the base displacement member 440 (shaft support). The hole 442) is rotatably supported by the base support shaft 413 of the case body 410, and the relative displacement member 450 is slidably displaced on the front side of the base displacement member 440.

Here, the relative displacement member 450 is formed with a decorative portion 454 on the front side thereof. The decorative portion 454 is a portion for decorating the front side of the relative displacement member 450, and is from the base end side (rotation center side when the base side displacement member 440 is rotated, the lower side of FIGS. 7 and 8). The whole is formed into a front-viewing tapered shape whose width becomes narrower toward the tip side (rotation tip side when the base end displacement member 440 is rotated, upper side of FIGS. 7 and 8), and the front surface of the decorative portion 454. The first portion 454a, the second portion 454b, and the third portion 454c are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction.

The first portion 454a, the second portion 454b, and the third portion 454c of the decorative portion 454 are formed in a size corresponding to the tapered shape of the entire decorative portion 454. That is, the second portion 454b located in the middle of the first portion 454a located on the tip side and the third portion 454c located in the base end side of the second portion 454b located in the middle have six large outer shapes. It is formed in a square shape.

In this case, the first portion 454a, the second portion 454b, and the third portion 454c are arranged at different positions in the front-rear direction (positions in the vertical direction on the paper in FIG. 5). Specifically, the second portion 454b located in the middle of the first portion 454a located on the distal end side and the third portion 454c located in the proximal end side of the second portion 454b located in the middle are respectively front surfaces. It is arranged on the (front) side (front side of the paper in FIG. 5).

As a result, the decorative portion 454 of the relative displacement member 450 (that is, the front surface of the relative displacement member 450) is moved from the proximal end side (the rotation center side of the proximal displacement member 440, the lower side of FIGS. 7 and 8) to the tip end side (that is, the front surface of the relative displacement member 450). The base end displacement member 440 is inclined downward in a stepped shape (in this embodiment, a three-step stepped shape) in a direction closer to the case body 410 toward the rotational tip side (upper side of FIGS. 7 and 8).

As a result, as will be described later, when the base displacement member 440 is rotated (see FIGS. 13 and 14), the decorative member 480 is prevented from coming into contact with the decorative member 480 (see FIGS. 16 and 17). It is possible to allow both displacement members 440 and 450 to pass through the back surface side of the above to improve the effect of staging, and when the relative displacement member 450 is projected (see FIG. 15), the decorative portion 454 is placed in front (front). ), It is possible to improve the power.

The detailed configuration of the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 will be described later (see FIGS. 11 and 12).

The connecting rod 460 is a long plate-shaped member for transmitting the rotation of the crank gear 433 to the relative displacement member 450, and has a shaft support hole 461 formed as a circular hole on one end side in the longitudinal direction and a shaft thereof. A connection hole 462 formed as an elongated hole extending along the longitudinal direction on the other end side in the longitudinal direction opposite to the support hole 461, and a longitudinal direction between the shaft support hole 461 and the connection hole 462. It is formed with a rod groove 463 recessed on the back surface side as a concave groove extending along the line.

The connecting rod 460 is attached to the case body 410 in a state where the rod support shaft 412 of the case body 410 is inserted into the shaft support hole 461 and the crank pin 433a of the crank gear 433 is inserted into the rod groove 463. Further, a connection pin 452 of the relative displacement member 450 is inserted into the connection hole 462 of the connection rod 460 (see FIGS. 11 and 12). As a result, as will be described later, the connecting rod 460 is rotated around the rod support shaft 412 as the rotation center with the rotation of the crank gear 433 (see FIGS. 9 and 10), and the connecting rod 460 is rotated with the rotation of the connecting rod 460. The base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are rotated (first operation) and slide displacement (second operation) (see FIG. 12), and are operated (displaced) between the retracted position and the overhang position.

In this case, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the drive motor 420, the base displacement member 440, and the relative displacement member 450 are respectively arranged on the front surface (one surface) side of the case body 410, so that, for example, Compared with the case where the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are arranged on the front (one side) side and the drive motor 420 is arranged on the back (other surface) side of the case body 410, the projecting operation is performed. It is possible to reduce the size of the unit 400 in the front-rear direction.

Further, since the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are arranged in the retracted position in the posture in which the drive motor 420 is located on the extension line in the longitudinal direction thereof (see FIG. 13 (a)), these drive motors. The 420 and the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 can be arranged linearly. Therefore, the space required for the retracted position on the front side of the case body 410 can be efficiently suppressed.

Further, in the present embodiment, a transmission means for transmitting the rotational driving force of the drive motor 420 to the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 is cranked together with a plurality of gears (each gear 431 to 433) and a crank gear 433. It is composed of a connecting rod 460 forming a mechanism, and as will be described later, a portion where the connecting rod 460 (connecting hole 462 and rod groove 463) is connected to the crank pin 433a of the crank gear 433 and the connecting pin 452 of the relative displacement member 450. Of the transmission means (each gear 431 to 433 and the connecting rod 460) and each support shaft 411, 412 so as to be arranged in the region between the rod support shaft 411 and the base support shaft 412 of the case body 410. Set the placement.

As a result, in a state where the base side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are arranged in the retracted position, the transmission means is arranged in the region overlapping the base side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 in the front view. can do. That is, the dead space formed on the back surface side of the base side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 arranged at the retracted position can be effectively utilized as the arrangement space of the transmission means. As a result, along with the effect of the positional relationship between the drive motor 420 and the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 described above, it is possible to synergistically achieve miniaturization of the outer shape of the protrusion operation unit 400 in the front-rear direction and in the front view. can.

Next, the operation of the transmission means (pinion gear 431, intermediate gear 432, crank gear 433, and connecting rod 460) will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. 9 and 10 are schematic front views schematically showing the transmission means in the front view, and in FIG. 9 (a), the state in which the crank gear 433 is arranged at the first rotation position is shown in FIG. 9 (b). In FIG. 10, the state in which the crank gear 433 is arranged in the intermediate rotation position is shown, and in FIG. 10, the state in which the crank gear 433 is arranged in the second rotation position is shown.

In FIGS. 9 and 10, the shapes of the gears 431 to 433 and the connecting rod 460 are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawings and facilitate understanding. Further, in FIGS. 9 and 10, the positions of the center lines of the connecting rod 460 when the crank gear 433 is arranged at the first rotation position, the intermediate rotation position, and the second rotation position are set as positions P1, Pm, and P2. Illustrated using a dotted line.

Further, in the description of FIGS. 9 and 10, FIGS. 13 to 15 will be referred to as appropriate. 9 (a) corresponds to the states shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), and FIG. 9 (b) corresponds to the states shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b). FIG. 10 corresponds to the states shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b).

As shown in FIG. 9A, when the crank gear 433 is arranged at the first rotation position and the connecting rod 460 is located at the position P1, the base displacement member 440 is in the retracted position and the relative displacement member 450 is in the retracted position. They are placed at reference positions, respectively (see FIGS. 12 (a) and 13). In this state, the crank pin 433a of the crank gear 433 is located at the upper end (the end on the rod support shaft 412 side) of the rod groove 463 of the connecting rod 460.

Therefore, in the state where the crank gear 433 is arranged at the first rotation position, the crank gear 433 rotates counterclockwise (counterclockwise) in FIG. 9A (that is, the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are stretched). Rotation in the direction of retracting from the ejection position to the retracting position) can be regulated by bringing the crank pin 433a into contact with the upper end of the rod groove 463. Therefore, when arranging the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 from the overhanging position to the retracting position, even if a control failure of the drive motor 420 occurs due to an electrical factor, for example, it is mechanical. The base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are displaced beyond the retracted position by a mechanism (a stopper mechanism that regulates the crank pin 433a by the rod groove 463), and these two displacement members 440 and 450 and the connecting rod 460 are others. It is possible to avoid colliding with the member of.

When the crank gear 433 is rotated clockwise (clockwise) from the state shown in FIG. 9 (a), the crank pin 433 a of the crank gear 433 lowers the rod groove 463 of the connecting rod 460 (rod). It is slid toward the end opposite to the support shaft 412), and the connecting rod 460 is rotated clockwise (clockwise) with the rod support shaft 412 as the center of rotation. When the crank gear 433 is further rotated and reaches the intermediate rotation position, as shown in FIG. 9B, the connecting rod 460 is positioned at the position Pm. In this state, the base displacement member 440 is arranged at the rotational position and the relative displacement member 450 is arranged at the reference position (see FIGS. 12 (b) and 14).

When the crank gear 433 is rotated clockwise (clockwise) from the state shown in FIG. 9 (b), the crank pin 433a of the crank gear 433 lowers the rod groove 463 of the connecting rod 460 (rod). After sliding toward the upper end (the end on the rod support shaft 412 side) after sliding toward the end (the end opposite to the support shaft 412), the connecting rod 460 slides toward the upper end (the end on the rod support shaft 412 side), and the connecting rod 460 is rotated around the rod support shaft 412 as the center of rotation. a) Rotated clockwise (clockwise). As a result, when the crank gear 433 reaches the second rotation position as shown in FIG. 10, the connecting rod 460 is positioned at the position P2. In this state, the base displacement member 440 is arranged at the rotational position and the relative displacement member 450 is arranged at the overhang position (see FIGS. 12 (c) and 15).

Even when the crank gear 433 is arranged at the second rotation position, the crank pin 433a of the crank gear 433 is connected to the connecting rod as in the case where the crank gear 433 is arranged at the first rotation position shown in FIG. 9A. It is located at the upper end (the end on the rod support shaft 412 side) of the rod groove 463 of the 460.

Therefore, in the state where the crank gear 433 is arranged at the second rotation position, the crank gear 433 rotates clockwise (clockwise) in FIG. 10 (that is, the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 project from the retracted position. Rotation (rotation in the direction of protruding to the position) can be regulated by bringing the crank pin 433a into contact with the upper end of the rod groove 463. Therefore, when arranging the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 from the retracted position to the overhanging position, even if a control failure of the drive motor 420 occurs due to an electrical factor, for example, it is mechanical. The base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are displaced beyond the overhanging position by a mechanism (a stopper mechanism that regulates the crank pin 433a by the rod groove 463), and both displacement members 440 and 450 and the connecting rod 460 are displaced. It is possible to avoid colliding with other members.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, the configuration and operation of the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 will be described. FIG. 11 is an exploded rear perspective view of the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450.

As shown in FIG. 11, the base displacement member 440 includes a main body portion 441 formed in the shape of a long plate, a shaft support hole 442 opened as a circular hole on the back surface of the main body portion 411, and a main body portion 441. A first slide hole 443 and a second slide hole 444, which are formed as elongated holes extending along the longitudinal direction (vertical direction of FIG. 11), are mainly provided.

The shaft support hole 442 is a hole through which the base support shaft 413 of the case body 410 is inserted, and by such insertion, the base side displacement member 440 can rotate to the case body 410 with the base side support shaft 413 as the rotation center. Is supported by. That is, as will be described later, the base displacement member 440 has a retracted position (see FIGS. 12 (a) and 13) and a rotational position (see FIGS. 12 (b), 12 (c), 14 and 15). It is rotatably supported between and.

In this case, the shaft support hole 442 is formed at a position that is lower than the center in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 411 and is biased toward one side (overhanging position side) from the center in the width direction of the main body portion 411. As a result, the rotation angle required for the base displacement member 440 to project the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 from the outer edge of the case body 410 by a predetermined amount (predetermined area) can be reduced, so that the base side can be reduced. The time required to rotate the displacement member 440 between the retracted position and the rotated position can be shortened, and as a result, the effect of displacement of the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 can be enhanced.

The relative displacement member 450 has a main body portion 451 formed in the shape of a long plate, a connection pin 452 protruding from the back surface of the main body portion, and a predetermined interval along the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 11) of the main body portion 451. A pair of slide pins 453 arranged so as to be separated from each other and a decorative portion 454 arranged in front of the main body portion 451 are mainly provided.

The connection pin 452 and the slide pin 453 are cylindrical portions that are slidably inserted into the first slide hole 443 and the second slide hole 444 of the base displacement member 440, respectively, and the relative displacement member 450 is inserted by such insertion. Is displaced so as to be slidable along its longitudinal direction with respect to the base displacement member 440. That is, as will be described later, the relative displacement member 450 has a reference position (see FIGS. 12 (a), 12 (b), 13 and 14) and an overhang position (see FIGS. 12 (c) and 15). It is arranged on the base displacement member 440 so that it can be slidably displaced between the two.

In this case, the connecting pin 452 is slidably inserted into the connecting hole 462 of the connecting rod 460 at the tip end side protruding from the first slide hole 443 of the base displacement member 440, and the relative displacement member 450 is inserted by such insertion. It is connected to the crank gear 433 (see FIG. 8) via the connecting rod 460.

As a result, as will be described later, by rotating the crank gear 433, the connecting rod 460 is rotated around the rod support shaft 412 as the rotation center (see FIG. 9), so that the base side relative to the base side support shaft 413 is the rotation center. The rotation of the displacement member 450 (first operation) can be executed, and the slide displacement (second operation) of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the base displacement member 440 can be executed (see FIG. 12).

Here, the connection pin 452 and the slide pin 453 are arranged at different positions (at intervals) along the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 11) of the relative displacement member 450. Therefore, since the locations where the relative displacement member 450 is connected to the base displacement member 440 can be dispersed in the longitudinal direction, the front-rear direction of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the base displacement member 440 (the direction in which the relative displacement member 450 is close to and separated from the case body 410). ) Can be suppressed to stabilize the slide displacement.

Further, the connection pin 452 is arranged on the longitudinal tip side (upper side of FIG. 11) of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the slide pin 453. As a result, the portion where the relative displacement member 450 is supported by the case body 410 via the connecting rod 460 can be brought closer to the distal end side in the longitudinal direction of the relative displacement member 450. In other words, the portion where the relative displacement member 450 is supported by the case body 410 via the connecting rod 460 can be moved away from the shaft support hole 442 of the base displacement member 440 toward the distal end side in the longitudinal direction (upper side in FIG. 11). As a result, it is possible to easily suppress the tip end side of the relative displacement member 450 from swinging in the front-rear direction (the direction in which the relative displacement member 450 is close to and separated from the case body 410).

That is, only the longitudinal base side (shaft support hole 442) of the base displacement member 440 is pivotally supported by the base support shaft 413 of the case body 410, and the relative displacement member 450 is arranged in the base displacement member 440. Due to the structure, the tip side in the longitudinal direction of both displacement members 440 and 450 becomes a free end, and the tip side tends to swing in the front-rear direction during the first operation. This shaking causes the tip side to come into contact with the decorative member 480. Therefore, a structure in which the position to be supported by the case body 410 via the connecting rod 460 is on the distal end side in the longitudinal direction is effective.

The collar C is rotatably fitted onto the connection pin 452 and the slide pin 453. The collar C is interposed between the outer peripheral surfaces of the connection pin 452 and the slide pin 453 and the inner peripheral surface of the first slide hole 443 and the second slide hole 444, so that the collar C is interposed along each of the slide holes 443 and 444. The pins 452 and 453 can be slid smoothly. Further, the collar C (specifically, the large-diameter flange portion of the collar C) is interposed between the main body portion 441 of the base displacement member 440, the main body portion 451 of the relative displacement member 450, and the connecting rod 460. , The facing distance between the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 and the connecting rod 460 can be kept constant.

The connection pin 452 is prevented from coming off from the connecting rod 460 by fastening and fixing a disk-shaped disk S to the end surface on the tip side thereof with a screw, and the slide pin 453 is an end face on the tip side thereof. A long flat plate-shaped slide guide 470 is fastened and fixed by screws to prevent it from coming off from the base displacement member 440.

FIG. 12 is a rear perspective view of the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450. Note that FIG. 12A corresponds to the states shown in FIGS. 9A and 13 (that is, the crank gear 433 is arranged at the first rotation position and the connecting rod 460 is arranged at the position P1). However, FIG. 12 (b) corresponds to the state shown in FIGS. 9 (b) and 14 (that is, the state in which the crank gear 433 is arranged at the intermediate rotation position and the connecting rod 460 is arranged at the position Pm). .. Further, FIG. 12 (c) corresponds to the state shown in FIGS. 10 and 15 (that is, the state in which the crank gear 433 is arranged at the second rotation position and the connecting rod 460 is arranged at the position P2).

As shown in FIG. 12 (a), in the state where the connecting rod 460 is located at the position P1 (see FIGS. 9 (a) and 13), the rotation centered on the base support shaft 413 of the base displacement member 440. The reference where the slide position of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the base displacement member 440 is the position where the amount of protrusion from the base displacement member 440 is the minimum at the retracted position where the position is the position closest to the rod support shaft 412. It is placed in each position. In this state, the connection pin 452 of the relative displacement member 450 is located at the upper end (the end on the rod support shaft 412 side) of the connection hole 462 of the connection rod 460.

From the state shown in FIG. 12 (a), the rotation of the crank gear 433 (see FIG. 9 (a)) causes the connecting rod 460 to rotate counterclockwise (counterclockwise) with the rod support shaft 412 as the center of rotation. When rotated, the connection pin 452 of the relative displacement member 450 is slid toward the lower end (the end opposite to the rod support shaft 412) of the connection hole 462 of the connecting rod 460, and is relative to the base displacement member 440. The displacement member 450 is rotated around the base support shaft 413 as the center of rotation, and the base displacement member 440 is rotated clockwise (clockwise) together with the relative displacement member 450 (first operation). When the connecting rod 460 is further rotated and reaches the intermediate position Pm as shown in FIG. 12 (b) (see FIGS. 9 (b) and 14), the rotational position of the base displacement member 440 is set to the rod support shaft 412. It is placed at the rotational position, which is the position farthest from.

In this case, the slide position of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the base displacement member 440 can be maintained at the reference position. That is, in FIG. 12 (a) counterclockwise (counterclockwise) rotation centered on the rod support shaft 412 of the connecting rod 460, the connecting pin 452 of the relative displacement member 450 and the connecting hole 462 of the connecting rod 460 are at the lower ends. When sliding toward, the direction of this sliding is substantially along the direction of the slide displacement of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the base displacement member 440, so that the relative displacement member 450 is placed with respect to the base displacement member 440. Does not generate a force component in the direction of slide displacement. Therefore, while maintaining the slide position of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the base displacement member 440 (while restricting the occurrence of slide displacement from the reference position), the base displacement member 440 whose rotation center is the base support shaft 413. Only rotation can be generated.

As a result, both of the displacement members 440 and 450 can be rotated around the base support shaft 413 while the amount of protrusion of the relative displacement member 450 from the base displacement member 440 is maintained to the minimum. The separation distance between the rotational tip of the relative displacement member 450 and the drive motor 420 (see FIG. 7) or the decorative member 480 (see FIGS. 16 and 17) can be reduced. As a result, the protrusion operation unit 400 can be miniaturized, and the degree of freedom in design when defining the shape of the decorative member 480 can be increased.

From the state shown in FIG. 12 (b), the rotation of the crank gear 433 (see FIG. 9 (b)) causes the connecting rod 460 to rotate counterclockwise (counterclockwise) with the rod support shaft 412 as the center of rotation. When rotated, the connection pin 452 of the relative displacement member 450 is slid toward the upper end (the end on the rod support shaft 412 side) of the connection hole 462 of the connecting rod 460 and then the lower end (opposite to the rod support shaft 412). It is slid toward the side end), and the relative displacement member 450 is slid and displaced in the direction extending along the longitudinal direction (first and second slide holes 443, 444) with respect to the base displacement member 440. (Second operation). As a result, when the connecting rod 460 reaches the second position P2 (see FIGS. 10 and 15) as shown in FIG. 12 (c), the slide position of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the base displacement member 440 is set to the base. It is arranged at the overhanging position, which is the position where the overhanging amount from the side displacement member 440 is maximum.

In this case, the rotational position of the base displacement member 440 can be maintained at the rotational position which is the most distant position from the rod support shaft 412. That is, in the counterclockwise (counterclockwise) rotation of FIG. 12B centered on the rod support shaft 412 of the connecting rod 460, the connecting pin 452 of the relative displacement member 450 is aligned with the connecting hole 462 of the connecting rod 460. Since the sliding direction is substantially orthogonal to the slide displacement direction of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the base displacement member 440, the relative displacement member 450 is slid with respect to the base displacement member 440. Only the force component in the direction of displacement is generated, and the force component in the direction of rotating the base-side displacement member 440 with the base-side support shaft 413 as the center of rotation is not generated. Therefore, it is possible to generate only the slide displacement of the relative displacement member 450 with respect to the base displacement member 440 while restricting the rotation of the base displacement member 440 with the base support shaft 413 as the rotation center.

As a result, the base displacement member 440 is rotated from the retracted position in a state where the amount of protrusion of the relative displacement member 450 from the base displacement member 440 is maintained to the minimum (a state in which the relative displacement member 450 is maintained at the reference position). The relative displacement member is rotated to a position (first operation), and after the first operation is completed, the rotation of the base displacement member 440 is restricted (the base displacement member 440 is maintained in the rotation position). It is possible to perform a slide displacement (second operation) in which the 450 is extended along the longitudinal direction with respect to the base displacement member 440. That is, since the rotation motion and the slide motion can be separated and each can be performed in two stages as separate motions, a different mode of motion can be performed as compared with the case where these rotation motions and slide motions are simultaneously performed. It is possible to make a person clearly recognize it, and it is possible to enhance the effect of effect by displacing each of the displacement members 440 and 450.

The operation of the projecting operation unit 400 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15.

13 to 15 are front views of the projecting operation unit 400. As described above, FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b) correspond to the states shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 12 (a), and FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b) correspond to the states shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 12 (a). , 9 (b) and 12 (b), and FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b) correspond to the states shown in FIGS. 10 and 12 (c). Further, FIGS. 13 (b), 14 (b), and 15 (b) show a state in which the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 are removed.

As shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, according to the projecting operation unit 400, as described above, the base displacement member 440 has the retracted position shown in FIG. 13 (a) and the retracted positions in FIGS. 14 (a) and 15 (a). ) Is rotatably formed, and the relative displacement member 450 disposed on the base displacement member 440 is rotatably formed with the reference position shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 14 (a). The first operation of rotating the base displacement member 440 between the retracted position and the rotation position, which is formed so as to be slidably displaceable from the overhang position shown in FIG. 15 (a), and the base displacement of the relative displacement member 450. The second operation of displacing the member 440 between the reference position and the overhanging position can be performed respectively.

As a result, as shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 14 (a), the base displacement member 440 in the retracted position is arranged in the rotational position by the first operation, and the relative displacement member 450 in the reference position is placed in the second position. By sliding displacement (extending) to the overhanging position by the operation, as shown in FIG. 15A, the relative displacement member 450 can be extended outward from the base displacement member 440. Therefore, since the base side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 can be made larger as a whole, the player can sufficiently visually recognize the two displacement members 440 and 450, and the effect of the effect can be sufficiently exerted.

In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14A, by arranging the base displacement member 440 to the rotational position by the first operation, the tip portion of the relative displacement member 450 (decorative portion in the present embodiment). The entire first portion 454a of 454) can be visually recognized by the player through the opening of the center frame 86, and as shown in FIG. 15A, the relative displacement member 450 is extended by the second operation. By arranging the relative displacement member 450, substantially the entire portion (in the present embodiment, the entire third portion 454a of the striking decoration portion 454) can be visually recognized by the player through the opening of the center frame 86.

That is, the relative displacement member 450, which has been retracted to the retracted position and is not visible from the opening of the center frame 86, first appears from the side in the opening of the center frame 86 by a rotational motion (first operation). , Only a part of the relative displacement member 450 is made visible to the player, and then, by a linear motion (second operation), the relative displacement member 450 is projected toward the center of the opening of the center frame 86, which is an abbreviation for the relative displacement member 450. It is possible to make the player visually recognize the whole. Therefore, the visible area of the relative displacement member 450 can be expanded by a motion form (linear motion) different from the motion form (rotary motion) at the time of appearance, and the visible area is increased by the unexpectedness due to the change in the motion form and the linear motion. It is possible to make the player feel the sense of speed due to the enlargement and the sense of unity of the combined motion due to the combination of these being performed continuously. As a result, it is possible to obtain an effect that cannot be achieved in a form in which the relative displacement member 450 appears and disappears with respect to the opening of the center frame 86 (a form in which the retracted position and the extended position reciprocate) only by a linear motion.

On the other hand, when the base displacement member in the rotational position is placed in the retracted position shown in FIG. 13 (a) by the first operation, the overhanging position is shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 15 (b). By sliding (shortening) the relative displacement member 450 to the reference position by the second operation, it is possible to suppress the outward protrusion of the relative displacement member 450 from the base displacement member 440. Therefore, since both displacement members 440 and 450 can be made smaller as a whole, the space required for accommodating both displacement members 440 and 450 can be suppressed at the retracted position. As a result, it is possible to secure a space for arranging other parts and devices.

In this case, as described above, the relative displacement member 450 is disposed on the base displacement member 440 in a state where it can be slidably displaced, and the second operation is as shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 15 (a). Since the relative displacement member 440 is slidably displaced with respect to the base displacement member 450 between the reference position and the overhanging position, for example, the second operation is to move the relative displacement member 440 to the base displacement member 450. Compared with the case of rotating, the space required to displace the relative displacement member 440 from the reference position to the overhanging position can be suppressed, and other parts and devices are arranged accordingly. Space can be secured. Further, since the aspect of the displacement of the relative displacement member 450 by the second operation (slide displacement) can be different from the aspect of the displacement of the base displacement member 450 by the first operation (rotation), the first operation can be performed. It is possible to enhance the effect of the effect by continuously performing the first operation and the second operation.

In particular, in such a second operation, the direction of the slide displacement is the direction along the longitudinal direction of each of the two displacement members 440 and 450. That is, since the relative displacement members 450 are arranged in a posture along the longitudinal direction of each other with respect to the base displacement member 440 and are slidably displaced in the direction along the longitudinal direction of each other, both displacement members 440, The 450 as a whole can be efficiently stretched and shortened. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15A, in the state where the base displacement member 440 is arranged at the rotational position, both displacement members 440 are increased as a whole by the slide displacement (extension) of the relative displacement member 450. , 450 can be sufficiently visually recognized by the player, and the effect of the effect can be fully exerted. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13A, in the state where the base side displacement member 440 is arranged in the retracted position, both displacement members 440 are reduced as a whole by sliding displacement (shortening) of the relative displacement member 450. , The space required to accommodate 450 can be reduced, and the space for arranging other parts and devices can be secured.

Further, according to the protrusion operation unit 400, as described above, the transmission means for transmitting the rotational driving force of the drive motor 420 to the base side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 is shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 14 (b). ) And FIG. 15 (b), a connecting hole 462 of the connecting rod 460, which is composed of a plurality of gears (pinion gear 431, intermediate gear 432 and crank gear 433) and a connecting rod 460 and constitutes a crank mechanism together with the crank gear 433. Is connected to the connection pin 452 of the relative displacement member 450 in the region between the rod support shaft 411, which is the center of rotation of the connecting rod 460, and the base support shaft 412, which is the center of rotation of the base displacement member 440. Therefore, by rotating the crank gear 433, the first operation and the second operation by the base side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 can be executed in order. That is, since the two different operations of the first operation and the second operation can be performed only by the drive motor 420 of 1, the component cost can be reduced and the product cost can be reduced accordingly.

In this case, as a transmission means, a structure is conceivable in which a gear is provided on the rod support shaft 412 side of the connecting rod 460, and the teeth of the crank gear 433 are meshed with the gear to rotate the connecting rod 460. Then, since the crank gear 433 and the connecting rod 460 are arranged side by side in the plane and the overlapping allowance in the front view is not formed, the space required for the arrangement is increased. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the crank pin 433a of the crank gear 433 is inserted into the rod groove 463 of the connecting rod 460, it is shown in FIGS. 13 (a), 14 (b) and 15 (b). As described above, the crank gear 433 and the connecting link 460 can be arranged in a state where they always have an overlapping allowance when viewed from the front, and the space required for arranging the crank gear 433 and the connecting link 460 can be suppressed by the overlap.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17, the relationship between the relative displacement member 450 and the decorative member 470 when the base displacement member 440 is rotated (first operation) will be described.

FIG. 16 is a front perspective view of the projecting operation unit 400. 17 (a) is a side view of the projecting operation unit 400 in the direction of arrow XVIIa of FIG. 16, and FIG. 17 (b) is a partially enlarged side view of the projecting operation unit 400 in the partial XVIIb of FIG. 17 (a). Is. It should be noted that FIGS. 16 and 17 show a state in which the decorative member 480 is attached to the projecting operation unit 400. However, in order to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding, only the decorative member 480 necessary for explaining the relationship with the relative displacement member 400 is shown.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, a decorative member 480 is arranged above (upper side of FIG. 16) of the projecting operation unit 400 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). The decorative member 480 is a decorative resin member and is made of a light-transmitting resin material. Therefore, other members located on the back surface side of the decorative member 480 can be visually recognized by the player via the decorative member 480 (permeated).

In the present embodiment, the decorative member 480 is formed by projecting a part thereof downward (lower side in FIG. 17B), so that the decorative member 480 is a base displacement member in front view as shown in FIG. 17B. It is formed with an overlap margin of dimension L between the 440 and the relative displacement member 450. As a result, when the base displacement member 440 is rotated (first operation) from the retracted position to the rotation position (see FIGS. 13 and 14), the rotation locus of the base displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 is displayed. It can be overlapped with a part of the decorative member 480 in the front view.

That is, since the base side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 can be displaced while passing through the back surface side of the decorative member 480, the operation of crossing the decorative member 480 and both displacement members 440 and 450 can be executed. At the time of the intersection, the decorative member 480 is transmitted through the both displacement members 440 and 450 so that they can be visually recognized, and as a result, the effect of displacing both the displacement members 440 and 450 can be enhanced. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the tip end side of the substrate displacement member 440 separated from the decorative member 480 is projected more than the tip end side of the relative displacement member 450 close to the decorative member 480, it is difficult to make contact with the decorative member 480. As a result, the dimension L, which is the overlap margin, can be made larger. Therefore, the effect of crossing can be enhanced.

In this case, as described above, in the relative displacement member 450, the decorative portion 454 forming the front side thereof (right side in FIG. 17B) is on the proximal end side (rotation center side of the proximal displacement member 440), FIG. 17 ( b) From the lower side) to the tip side (rotation tip side of the base end displacement member 440, upper side in FIG. 17 (b)), it is inclined stepwise in a direction closer to the case body 410 (left side in FIG. 17 (b)). Displacement. Further, the tip end side of the base displacement member 440 arranged on the back surface side (left side of FIG. 17B) of the relative displacement member 450 is projected from the tip end side of the relative displacement member 450. Therefore, the base-side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 as a whole can be arranged at a position deeper toward the case body 410 side (back side, left side in FIG. 17B) toward the tip end side.

As a result, when the base displacement member 440 is rotated (first operation) from the retracted position to the rotation position (see FIGS. 13 and 14), the rotation locus is overlapped with the decorative member 480 in the front view. It is possible to prevent the base side displacement member 440 and the relative displacement member 450 from coming into contact with the decorative member 480 while ensuring the improvement of the effect.

In this case, the base displacement member 440 has a structure in which only one side in the longitudinal direction is pivotally supported by the base support shaft 413 and the tip side is a free end (see FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b)). ), The tip side tends to sway in the front-rear direction (direction toward the case body 410 side, vertical direction on the paper surface in FIG. 5) during the first operation, and there is a possibility of contact with the decorative member 480. Therefore, the configuration in the present embodiment (a shape that is inclined so that the tip side is closer to the case body 410 side) is particularly effective.

On the other hand, in the relative displacement member 450, the entire decorative portion 454 is not brought close to the case body 410 side, but as described above, the tip side (rotation tip side of the proximal end displacement member 440, FIG. 17B). The shape is such that the base end side (rotation center side of the base side displacement member 440, lower side in FIG. 17 (b)) is located on the front (front) side (right side in FIG. 17 (b)) rather than the base end side (upper side). That is, the decorative portion 454 is stepped up and inclined in a direction away from the case body 410 (on the right side in FIG. 17B) from the tip end side to the base end side.

As a result, when the relative displacement member 450 is slide-displaced (second operation) from the reference position to the overhang position (see FIGS. 14 and 15), the relative displacement member 440 is moved to the front (front) side (that is, that is). It can be placed closer to the player) to increase its power. In particular, in the present embodiment, the outer shape is made larger by the portion arranged on the front (front) side (the second portion 454b than the first portion 454a and the third portion 454c than the second portion 454b), so that the force thereof is increased. It is possible to exert the effect of enhancing.

Next, the combined operation unit 500 will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 30. 18 and 19 are front perspective views of the combined operation unit 500. In FIG. 18, the driven member 560 is arranged in the retracted position (see FIG. 5), and in FIG. 19, the driven member 560 is arranged in the overhanging position (see FIG. 5). To.

Here, the combined operation units 500 are arranged on the left and right sides of the rotary operation unit 600 above the opening 301 (see FIGS. 5 and 6), and the pair of combined operation units 500 are symmetrical. Since they are formed and their structures are substantially the same, only one (arranged on the right side of the front view) will be described, and the other (arranged on the left side of the front view) will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the composite operation unit 500 displaces the driven member 550 by the driving force of the drive motor 530 and drives the driven member 560 according to the displacement of the driven member 550. , The driven member 560 is displaced between the retracted position shown in FIG. 18 and the overhanging position shown in FIG. In this case, as will be described later, the driven member 560 is driven by the driven member 550 while changing its relative position with respect to the driven member 550 by rotation and slide displacement (see FIGS. 27 to 29).

As a result, even when the driven member 550 is rotated at a constant speed on a constant trajectory with a predetermined position (shaft portion 555, 554) as the center of rotation, the driven member 550 is driven by a different trajectory from the driven member 550. The member 560 can be displaced and the mode of displacement of the driven member 560 can be changed. That is, according to the combined operation unit 500, it is possible to change the displacement mode of the driven member 560 while maintaining the output of the drive motor 530 constant. The detailed configuration of the combined operation unit 500 will be described below.

20 and 21 are exploded front perspective views of the combined operation unit 500. 22 (a) is a front view of the driven member 550 and the driven member 560, and FIG. 22 (b) shows the driven member 550 and the driven member 560 in the direction of the arrow XXIIb of FIG. 22 (a). It is a side view.

Note that FIG. 20 corresponds to a state in which the composite operation unit 500 shown in FIG. 18 is disassembled, and FIG. 21 corresponds to a state in which the composite operation unit 500 shown in FIG. 19 is disassembled. 22 (a) and 22 (b) correspond to the driven member 550 and the driven member 560 in the state shown in FIGS. 18 and 20.

As shown in FIGS. 20 to 22, the composite operation unit 500 includes a front case body 510 and a back case body 520 forming the skeleton, a drive motor 530 arranged on the back side of the back case body 520, and a drive thereof. The crank member 540 attached to the drive shaft 531 of the motor 530, the driven member 550 driven by transmitting the driving force of the drive motor 530 via the crank member 540, and the relative displacement to the driven member 550. It is mainly composed of a driven member 560 and a driven member 560 which are connectable to each other.

The front case body 510 and the back case body 520 are formed in a flat plate shape from a resin material, are arranged facing each other at a predetermined interval, and are fastened and fixed to each other by screws (not shown). It is configured as an accommodating member in which an internal space is formed between the facing surfaces. In the internal space (between the facing surfaces) of the front case body 510 and the rear case body 520, a driven member 550 (intermediate plate portion 552), a driven member 560 (intermediate plate portion 561), and a crank member 540 are respectively. It is housed in a displaceable state.

The front case body 510 includes a shaft support hole 511, an insertion hole 512, and a first guide groove 513. The shaft support hole 511 is a circular hole in front view for rotatably supporting the shaft portion 553 of the driven member 540. The insertion hole 512 is an opening through which the crankpin 541 of the crank member 540 is inserted, and is formed in a size that allows the reciprocating movement of the crankpin 541. The crankpin 541 can be connected to the driven member 560 (drive shaft 561a) through the insertion hole 512.

The first guide groove 513 is an opening through which the first pin 561a in the intermediate plate portion 561 of the driven member 560 is inserted, and has a shape obtained by taking out a part of the annular shape (that is, a groove shape curved in an arc shape). 27 (a) to 29 (a)). The groove width of the first guide groove 513 is set to a size equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the first pin 561a, and as will be described later, the first pin 561a is slid along the extending direction of the first guide groove 513. By moving (guided), the posture (particularly, the relative rotation position with respect to the driven member 550) of the intermediate plate portion 561 (driven member 560) can be defined (see FIGS. 27 (a) to 29 (a)). ..

The rear case body 520 includes a shaft support hole 521, an insertion hole 522, and a second guide groove 523. The shaft support hole 521 is a circular hole in front view for rotatably supporting the shaft portion 554 of the driven member 540, and is arranged concentrically with the shaft support hole 511 of the front case body 510 described above. That is, in the front case body 510 and the rear case body 520, the shaft support holes 511, 521 pivotally support the shaft portions 555 and 554 of the driven member 550, so that the driven member 550 can be rotated. I can support you. The insertion hole 522 is an opening through which the drive shaft 531 of the drive motor 530 is inserted, and the drive shaft 531 of the drive motor 530 can be connected to the crank member 540 via the insertion hole 522.

The second guide groove 513 is an opening through which the connecting shaft 561b in the intermediate plate portion 561 of the driven member 560 is inserted, and has a shape obtained by taking out a part of the annular shape (that is, a groove shape curved in an arc shape, the figure). 27 (b) to FIG. 29 (b)). The groove width of the second guide groove 523 is set to a size equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the connection shaft 561b, and as will be described later, the connection shaft 561b is slid along the extending direction of the second guide groove 523. By (guided), the posture of the intermediate plate portion 561 (driven member 560) (particularly, the relative slide position with respect to the driven member 550) can be defined (see FIGS. 27 (b) to 29 (b)).

As described above, the crank member 540 is attached to the drive shaft 531 of the drive motor 530, and the crank member 540 is eccentric from the rotation shaft (drive shaft 531) when it is rotationally driven by the drive motor 530. A crank pin 541 is arranged at the position. The crankpin 541 is inserted into the drive groove 551a of the driven member 550. Therefore, by rotating the crank member 540 by the rotational driving force of the drive motor 530, the crank pin 541 of the crank member 540 is slid along the drive groove 551a of the driven member 550 to rotate the driven member 550. (See FIGS. 30 to 32).

As described above, the driven member 550 is a member that is rotated by the rotational driving force of the drive motor 530 and that displaces the driven member 560 with the rotation, and the shaft portions 533 and 554 are pivotally supported. By pivotally supporting the holes 511, 521, it is rotatably held by the front case body 510 and the back case body 520. Here, the detailed configuration of the driven member 550 will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 and 24.

23 (a) is a front view of the driven member 550, and FIG. 23 (b) is a back surface portion of the driven member 550. FIG. 24 is a side view of the driven member 550 in the direction of arrow XXIV of FIG. 23 (a).

As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the driven member 550 is provided with a long plate-shaped front plate portion 551 and a long plate-shaped interposition intersecting the front plate portion 551 at a right angle to the front view. A circular shaft portion 553 connecting the plate portion 552, the front plate portion 551 and the intermediate plate portion 552, and a circle projecting from the back surface of the intermediate plate portion 552 at a position concentric with the shaft portion 553. It is mainly provided with a columnar shaft portion 554.

The front plate portion 551 is a member arranged in front of the front case body 510 (see FIGS. 20 and 21), and has a front view elliptical circle on one end side (the side opposite to the side to which the shaft portion 553 is connected). A drive groove 551a having a shape is formed. The drive groove 551a is an opening through which the crankpin 541 (see FIGS. 20 and 21) of the crank member 540 is inserted, and extends along the longitudinal direction of the front plate portion 551. The groove width of the drive groove 551a is set to a dimension equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the crankpin 541. Therefore, by rotating the crank member 540 by the rotational driving force of the drive motor 530, the crank pin 541 can be slid along the drive groove 551a, thereby covering the shaft portions 533 and 554 as the rotation center. The drive member 550 can be rotated (see FIGS. 30 to 32).

The interposition plate portion 552 is a member disposed in the internal space (between the facing surfaces) of the front case body 510 and the back case body 520 (see FIGS. 20 and 21), and one end side (front gastric body portion 551) thereof. A connection groove 552a having an oval shape in front view is formed on the side opposite to the side to which the connection is made. The connection groove 552a is an opening through which the connection shaft 561b (see FIGS. 20 and 21) of the driven member 560 is inserted, and extends along the longitudinal direction of the intermediate plate portion 552. The groove width of the connecting groove 552a is set to a dimension equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the connecting shaft 561b. Therefore, the connection groove 552a can hold the connection shaft 561b so as to be rotatable and slidable. That is, the driven member 560 is connected to the driven member 550 in a rotatable and slide-displaceable state (see FIGS. 27 to 29).

Here, the connection groove 552a has a region that overlaps with the second guide groove 523 of the rear case body 520 in the front view when the driven member 550 is rotated about the shaft portions 555 and 554 as the rotation center. The connection shaft 561b is configured to be displaceable in the region (see FIGS. 27 (a) to 27 (c)). Thereby, as described later, the slide displacement of the driven member 560 with respect to the driven member 550 can be defined based on the shape (contour) of the second guide groove 523.

In the driven member 550, the intermediate plate portion 552 and the shaft portion 555, 554 are integrally formed from the resin material, while the front plate portion 551 is formed from the resin material as a separate member from each of these portions 552 to 554. The axial end surface of the shaft portion 553 (the end surface opposite to the interposition plate portion 552) is brought into contact with the back surface of the base end side (the side opposite to the side where the drive groove 551a is bored) of the front plate portion 551. It is assembled by fastening and fixing both with screws.

In this case, four pins 553a project from the axial end surface of the shaft portion 553, while holes 551b for receiving each of the four pins 553a are provided at four locations on the base end side of the front plate portion 551. It is drilled and assembled with each pin 553a accepted in each hole 551b. As a result, the number of screws can be suppressed, the cost of parts can be reduced, and the flat plate portion 551 and the interposition plate portion 552 can be reliably prevented from rotating relative to each other.

It will be described back from FIG. 20 to FIG. 23. As described above, the connecting shaft 561b of the intermediate plate portion 561 of the driven member 560 is inserted into the connecting groove 552a of the intermediate plate portion 552 of the driven member 550, whereby the driven member with respect to the driven member 550 is inserted. The 560 are connected so that they can be displaced relative to each other (rotational and sliding displacement). As described above, the driven member 560 is a member that is driven according to the displacement of the driving member 550, and the connecting shaft 561b of the intermediate plate portion 561 is connected to the connecting groove 552a of the intermediate plate portion 552 of the driven member 550. In addition, by inserting the back case body 520 into the second guide groove 523, the front case body 510 and the back case body 520 are held in a rotatable and slide-displaceable state. Here, the detailed configuration of the driven member 560 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26.

25 (a) is a front view of the driven member 560, and FIG. 25 (b) is a back surface portion of the driven member 560. FIG. 26 is a side view of the driven member 560 in the direction of arrow XXVI of FIG. 25 (a).

As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the driven member 560 includes a plate-shaped intermediate plate portion 561, a decorative portion 562 having a pair of elongated portions having a decorative shape formed on the front surface thereof, and a decorative portion 562 thereof. It is mainly provided with a back plate portion 563 that is connected to the side of the decorative portion 562 and is connected to the back side of the interposition plate portion 561.

The intermediate plate portion 561 is a member arranged in the internal space (between the facing surfaces) of the front case body 510 and the back case body 520 (see FIGS. 20 and 21), and the front case body 510 is on the front surface thereof. The first pin 561a to be inserted into the first guide groove 513 (see FIGS. 20 and 21) is projected, and the connecting shaft 561b is projected from the back surface at a position eccentric with respect to the first pin 561a. Will be done. As described above, the connection shaft 561b is inserted into the connection groove 552a of the driven member 550 (intermediate plate portion 552) and the second guide groove 523 of the rear case body 520 (see FIGS. 20 and 21). ..

Therefore, when the driven member 550 is rotated around the shaft portion 555, 5554 as the rotation center, the first pin 561a is slid (guided) along the first guide groove 513, so that the intermediate plate portion 561 ( That is, the driven member 560) is rotated relative to the driven member 550 and the rear case body 520 with the connecting shaft 561b as the center of rotation (see FIGS. 27 (a) to 29 (a)), and the connecting shaft 561b. Is slid (guided) along the second guide groove 523, so that the intermediate plate portion 561 (that is, the driven member 560) is the driven member with the direction along the connection groove 552a of the driven member 550 as the sliding direction. It is slide-displaced relative to 550 (see FIGS. 27 (b) to 29 (b)).

Here, the connecting shaft 561b of the driven member 560 is inserted only into the connecting groove 552a of the driven member 550 (intermediate plate portion 552), and a pin separately provided in the intermediary plate portion 561 is inserted into the rear case body 520. By inserting the two guide grooves 523, the same operation as described above can be obtained.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the connecting shaft 561b of the driven member 560 is provided in both the second guide groove 523 of the rear case body 520 and the connecting groove 552a of the driven member 550 (intermediate plate portion 552), respectively. The connecting shaft 561b is inserted and guided by the second guide groove 523 to define the displacement of the driven member 560 with respect to the rear case body 520 (that is, the driven member 560 is slidly displaced with respect to the driven member 550. ) And the role of connecting the driven member 560 to the driven member 550 so as to be relatively displaceable (rotational and slide displacement) by being inserted into the connection groove 561b. As a result, the number of parts can be reduced, the product cost can be reduced, the structure can be simplified, and the reliability and durability of the movable member can be improved.

The back plate portion 563 is a front view circular member arranged on the back surface of the back case body 520 (see FIGS. 20 and 21), and has a contact portion on the front surface thereof (the front side surface of the paper surface in FIG. 25 (a)). 563a is projected. The contact portion 563a is a portion that comes into contact with the back surface of the back case body 520, and is formed in a concentric front view annular shape on the connection shaft 561b. That is, only the peripheral edge portion (protruding tip surface of the contact portion 562a) of the back plate portion 563 is brought into contact with the back surface of the back case body 520.

By providing the back plate portion 563 with a concentric contact portion 563 with the connecting shaft 561b in this way, when the connecting shaft 561b is slid (guided) along the second guide groove 523, the first pin 561a And even when the driven member 560 is rotated relative to the rear case body 520 with the connecting shaft 561b as the center of rotation due to the rotational action of the first guide groove 523 (see FIGS. 27 to 29), the rear case body. It is possible to suppress the change in the supporting reaction force by keeping the contact state with respect to the back surface of the 520 constant. As a result, the driven member 560 can be displaced in a stable state.

In the driven member 560, the decorative portion 562 and the back plate portion 563 are integrally formed of the resin material, while the intermediate plate portion 561 is formed of the resin material as a separate member from each of these portions 562 and 563, and the back plate portion is formed. It is assembled by abutting the axial end surface of the connecting shaft 561b of the intermediate plate portion 561 on the front surface of the 563 and fastening and fixing the two with screws. The structure for connecting the plurality of pins 561c projecting from the axial end faces of the connecting shaft 561b into the plurality of holes 563b of the back plate portion 563 so as to be relatively non-rotatable is the driven structure described above. Since it is the same as the case of the member 550, the description thereof will be omitted.

A description will be given by returning from FIG. 20 to FIG. 22. The combined operation unit 500 can be assembled as follows. First, the shaft portion 553 of the driven member 550 is inserted into the shaft support hole 511 of the front case body 510, and the intermediate plate portion 561 and the front plate portion 551 of the driven member 550 are fastened and fixed to each other. As a result, the driven member 550 can be assembled to the front case body 510 in a rotatable state. At the time of this assembly, the connection shaft 561b of the intermediate plate portion 561 in the driven member 560 is inserted into the connection groove 552 of the driven member 550 (intermediate plate portion 552) in advance.

Next, the crank member 540 is mounted on the drive shaft 531 of the drive motor 530 via the insertion hole 522 of the rear case body 520, and the crank pin 541 is mounted on the driven member 550 via the insertion hole 512 of the front case body 510. It is inserted into the drive groove 551a of (front plate portion 551). At the same time, the connecting shaft 561b of the driven member 560 (intermediate plate portion 561) of the second guide groove 523 of the rear case body 520 is inserted, and the intermediate plate portion 561 and the back plate portion 563 of the driven member 560 are fastened and fixed to each other. do. As a result, the driven member 560 can be assembled to the rear case body 520 in a rotatable state, can be connected to the driven member 550 in a rotatable and slide-displaceable state, and is driven via the crank member 540. It is possible to form a state in which the rotational driving force of the motor 530 can be transmitted to the driven member 550.

After that, the front case body 510 and the back case body 520 are fastened and fixed with screws (not shown). As a result, the combined operation unit 500 can be displaced (driven) by the rotational driving force of the drive motor 530 and the driven member 560 with the displacement of the driven member 550. It can be unitized as one device. As described above, according to the combined operation unit 500, each component can be assembled in order by assembling the front case body 510 and the rear case body 520 in order, so that the assembly cost can be reduced and the unit can be formed. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the pachinko machine 10 can be reduced by facilitating the assembly to the unit storage member 300 (game machine main body, see FIGS. 5 and 6).

Next, the operation of the combined operation unit 500 will be described with reference to FIGS. 27 to 32. 27 (a), 28 (a) and 29 (a) are front schematic views of the driven member 550 and the driven member 560 showing the relationship with the first guide groove 513, and FIG. 27 (b), FIG. 28 (b) and 29 (b) are front schematic views of the driven member 550 and the driven member 560 showing the relationship with the second guide groove 523.

Similarly, FIGS. 30 (a), 31 (a) and 32 (a) are front schematic views of the driven member 550 and the driven member 560 showing the relationship with the first guide groove 513, and FIG. 30 (a). b), FIGS. 30 (b) and 30 (b) are front schematic views of the driven member 550 and the driven member 560 showing the relationship with the second guide groove 523.

27 and 30 correspond to the state in which the driven member 560 is arranged in the retracted position (the state shown in FIGS. 18 and 20), and FIGS. 29 and 32 show that the driven member 560 is arranged in the overhanging position. Corresponds to the state (the state shown in FIGS. 19 and 20). Further, the states shown in FIGS. 28 and 31 correspond to a state in which the driven member 560 is arranged between the retracted position and the extended position.

As shown in FIGS. 27 and 30, when the driven member 560 is arranged in the retracted position, the crank pin 541 of the crank member 540 is on the right side of the front view with respect to the drive shaft 531 of the drive motor 530 (FIG. 30A). Located on the right side), the driven member 550 tilts the tip end side (the formed portion of the drive groove 551a) of the front plate portion 551 to the right side (right side in FIG. 30B) when viewed from the front, and the intermediate plate. The posture is such that the tip end side (the forming portion of the connecting groove 552a) of the portion 552 is lifted upward (upper side in FIG. 30B). That is, the driven member 550 is arranged at a rotation position at which the rotation ends in the front-view clockwise (clockwise) direction with the shaft portion 555, 554 (see FIGS. 20 and 21) as the rotation center.

On the other hand, as described above, the driven member 560 is in a posture in which the driven member 550 lifts the tip end side of the intermediate plate portion 552 upward, so that the connecting shaft 561b is on the upper end side of the second guide groove 523 ( It is assumed that the posture is pushed up to (upper side of FIG. 27 (b)). That is, the driven member 560 is arranged at the uppermost position in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 30 (b)) and at the leftmost position in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 30 (b)). Will be done. Further, in the driven member 560, the first pin 561a of the intermediate plate portion 561 is located on the upper end side (upper left side of FIG. 27 (a)) of the first guide groove 513, so that the tip side of the intermediate plate portion 561 ( The first pin 561a (arranged portion) is in a horizontal posture toward the left side (left side in FIG. 27A) when viewed from the front. That is, the driven member 560 is arranged at a rotation position at which the rotation ends in the counterclockwise (counterclockwise) direction in the front view with the connection shaft 561b as the rotation center.

From the state where the driven member 560 shown in FIGS. 27 and 30 is arranged in the retracted position, the crank member 540 rotates counterclockwise (counterclockwise) when the drive shaft 531 is rotating due to the rotational driving force of the drive motor 530. When rotated, the crank pin 541 of the crank member 540 is slid along the drive groove 551a in the front plate portion 551 of the driven member 550, so that the driven member 550 is displaced by the shaft portion 533, 554 (FIGS. 20 and 554). (See FIG. 21) is rotated in the counterclockwise (counterclockwise) direction in the front view with the center of rotation as the center of rotation, and as shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, the driven member 560 is located at a position substantially intermediate between the retracted position and the overhanging position. Be placed.

As shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, when the driven member 560 is arranged at a position substantially intermediate between the retracted position and the overhanging position, the driven member 550 makes the front plate portion 551 stand upright and mediates. The posture is such that the plate portion 552 is substantially horizontal. That is, the driven member 550 is arranged at a rotation position substantially intermediate in the rotatable range centered on the shaft portion 555, 554 (see FIGS. 20 and 21).

On the other hand, in the driven member 560, the driven member 550 is in a posture in which the intermediate plate portion 552 is substantially horizontal, so that the connection shaft 561b pushed down by the connection groove 552a of the intermediate plate portion 552 is second. It is assumed that the posture is arranged at the intermediate position of the guide groove 523. That is, the driven member 560 is arranged at a position substantially in the middle in the displaceable range in the vertical direction (FIG. 31 (b) vertical direction), and is located on the far right in the horizontal direction (FIG. 30 (b) horizontal direction). It is placed in the position where. Further, the driven member 560 is arranged at a position where the first pin 561a of the intermediate plate portion 561 is substantially in the middle of the first guide groove 513, so that the tip side of the intermediate plate portion 561 (the first pin 561a) is arranged. The arrangement portion) is tilted toward the upper left side of the front view (upper left side of FIG. 28A). That is, the driven member 560 is arranged at a rotation position substantially intermediate in the rotatable range centered on the connection shaft 561b.

From the state shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, when the crank member 540 is further rotated counterclockwise (counterclockwise) when the drive shaft 531 is rotating due to the rotational driving force of the drive motor 530, the crank member 540 The crank pin 541 is slid along the drive groove 551a in the front plate portion 551 of the driven member 550, so that the driven member 550 faces the front with the shaft portion 535, 554 (see FIGS. 20 and 21) as the center of rotation. It is rotated counterclockwise (counterclockwise), and as shown in FIGS. 29 and 32, the driven member 560 is arranged at the overhanging position.

As shown in FIGS. 29 and 32, when the driven member 560 is arranged at the overhanging position, the crank pin 541 of the crank member 540 is on the left side of the front view with respect to the drive shaft 531 of the drive motor 530 (FIG. 32 (a). ) Left side), whereby the driven member 550 tilts the tip end side (the formed portion of the drive groove 551a) of the front plate portion 551 to the left side (left side in FIG. 32 (b)) and is interposed. The posture is such that the tip end side (the forming portion of the connection groove 552a) of the plate portion 552 is dropped downward (lower side in FIG. 32 (b)). That is, the driven member 550 is arranged at a rotation position at which the rotation ends in the counterclockwise (counterclockwise) direction in the front view with the shaft portion 555, 554 (see FIGS. 20 and 21) as the rotation center.

On the other hand, as described above, the driven member 560 is in a posture in which the driven member 550 is in a posture in which the tip end side of the intermediate plate portion 552 is lowered downward, so that the connecting shaft 561b is on the lower end side of the second guide groove 523 ( It is assumed that the posture is pushed down to FIG. 29 (b) lower side). That is, the driven member 560 is arranged at the lowermost position in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 32 (b)) and at the leftmost position in the left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 32 (b)). Will be done. Further, in the driven member 560, the first pin 561a of the intermediate plate portion 561 is located on the lower end side (lower right side of FIG. 29 (a)) of the first guide groove 513, so that the tip side of the intermediate plate portion 561 is provided. It is in an upright posture with (the disposed portion of the first pin 561a) facing upward in the front view (upper side in FIG. 29 (a)). That is, the driven member 560 is arranged at a rotation position at which the rotation ends in the front clockwise (clockwise) direction with the connection shaft 561b as the rotation center.

As described above, according to the combined operation unit 500, when the driven member 550 is displaced (rotated) by the rotational driving force of the drive motor 530, the driven member 560 is displaced according to the displacement of the driven member 550. It can be driven while being displaced relative to the drive member 550. That is, the mode of displacement of the driven member 550 is rotation about the shaft portion 533, 554 as the center of rotation, and even if the driven member 550 is displaced in a constant orbit, the orbit (displacement) different from that of the driven member 550. 560), the driven member 560 can be displaced. Further, since the change in the mode of such displacement is formed by the relative displacement of the driven member 560 with respect to the driven member 550, even if the driven member 550 is displaced (rotated) at a constant speed, the displacement is formed. The driven member 560 can be displaced in a different trajectory (displacement mode) from the driven member 550. As a result, it is possible to change the displacement mode of the driven member 560 while keeping the output of the drive motor 530 constant.

In this case, in the present embodiment, the means (displacement defining means) for relatively displace the driven member 560 with respect to the driven member 550 is the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove of the front case body 510 and the rear case body 520. It is formed by the 523, the first pin 561a of the driven member 560, and the connecting shaft 561b. That is, by guiding the first pin 561a and the connecting shaft 561b along the guide grooves 513 and 523, the displacement of the driven member 560 with respect to the case bodies 510 and 520 can be defined. Thereby, the relative displacement of the driven member 560 with respect to the driven member 550 can be formed according to the contour (shape) of each guide groove 513, 523. As a result, the displacement defining means can be formed by a mechanical element such as a guide groove and a shaft-shaped body guided by the guide groove, and the structure thereof is simplified, so that the product cost can be reduced. Further, since a simple mechanical element can be adopted, it is possible to improve the reliability and durability of the moving part.

Further, by setting the contours (shapes) of the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523, the mode of the relative displacement of the driven member 560 with respect to the driven member 550 can be arbitrarily set, so that the displacement of the driven member 560 can be set arbitrarily. It is possible to increase the degree of freedom in design when setting the aspect. As a result, it is possible to easily secure variations in the modes of displacement that can be applied to the driven member 560.

In particular, in the present embodiment, where the driven member 560 is rotatably and slide-displaceably connected to the driven member 550, the first guide groove 513 and the first pin 561a are configured to mainly regulate rotation. A guide structure and a second guide structure composed of a second guide groove 523 and a connecting shaft 561b and mainly defining a slide displacement are provided. As a result, not only can the variation of the change that can be given to the displacement mode be increased, but also when the displacement of the driven member 560 with respect to the driven member 550 becomes a plurality of types (rotational and slide displacement), each of these displacements is first. And the second guide structure can be used for proper guidance. As a result, the displacement of the driven member 560 can be stabilized, and the reliability of the movable member can be improved.

Here, in the above-mentioned first guide structure, for example, the first guide groove 513 is formed in the intermediate plate portion 561 or the back plate portion 563, and the first pin 561a is formed in the front case body 510 or the back case body 520, respectively. It also holds true in the configuration. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the first guide groove 513 is formed in the front case body 510, and the first pin 561a is formed in the intermediate plate portion 561. This makes it easy to secure a space for forming the first guide groove 513.

That is, since it is necessary to hold the front case body 510 and the rear case body 520 while securing the displacement space of the driven member 550 and the driven member 560, the front case body 510 and the rear case body 520 must be formed into a relatively large outer shape. There is a tendency for dead space to be formed on the plate surface. Therefore, by setting the formation target of the first guide groove portion 513 to the front case body 510, it is possible to effectively utilize the dead space and sufficiently secure a space for forming the first guide groove portion 513. As a result, the degree of freedom in the contour (shape) and the extension length of the first guide groove 513 can be increased, and the variation of the change that can be given to the displacement mode can be increased accordingly. Since the second guide structure is the same as that of the first guide structure, the description thereof will be omitted.

Further, the first guide structure and the second guide structure are also established in a configuration in which both the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523 are formed on the back case body 520. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the first guide groove 513 is formed in the front case body 510 and the second guide groove 523 is formed in the rear case body 520, so that the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523 are formed respectively. Can be formed without considering the formation position of each other.

That is, when both the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523 are formed on the rear case body 520, it is necessary to form the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523 so as not to intersect with each other. The degree of freedom in designing the contour (shape) and extension length is limited. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the contour (shape) and the extension length of both the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523 are arbitrarily set without considering the positional relationship with the other party. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the design can be increased, and the variation of the change that can be given to the mode of displacement can be increased accordingly.

Next, the rotary operation unit 600 will be described with reference to FIGS. 33 to 39. FIG. 33 is a front perspective view of the rotary operation unit 600.

As shown in FIG. 33, in the rotary operation unit 600, the first rotating body 650 having a front view annular shape is arranged so as to surround the spherical liquid crystal device 670, and the back surface of the first rotating body 650 is arranged. The second rotating body 660 having a front view annular shape is concentrically arranged on the side, and in the present embodiment, the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 are rotated at different rotation speeds and in opposite directions to each other.

Here, in the conventional product in which a plurality of rotating bodies are arranged at positions separated from each other, it is difficult for the player to recognize the rotations of the plurality of rotating bodies in association with each other. That is, the conventional product has a form in which each rotating body is rotated independently without being involved with other rotating bodies. Therefore, the effect of the effect of rotating a plurality of rotating bodies is fully exhibited. I couldn't get it.

On the other hand, according to the rotation operation unit 600 in the present embodiment, the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 are concentrically arranged around the spherical liquid crystal device 670, and these two rotating bodies rotate differently. Since it is rotated in a mode (a mode in which the rotation speed and the rotation direction are different from each other), it is possible to make it easy for the player to recognize these rotations in relation to each other, and it is possible to exert the effect of the effect by rotating a plurality of rotating bodies. can. The detailed configuration of the rotary operation unit 600 will be described below.

FIG. 34 is an exploded front perspective view of the rotary operation unit 600, and FIG. 35 is an exploded rear perspective view of the rotary operation unit 600. Further, FIG. 36 is a vertical sectional view of the rotary operation unit 600. In addition, in FIGS. 35 and 36, the illustration of the spherical liquid crystal display device 670 is omitted. Further, the cross section shown in FIG. 36 corresponds to the cross section of the rotary operation unit 600 cut by the plane including the rotation centers of the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660.

As shown in FIGS. 34 to 36, the rotary operation unit 600 includes a front case body 610 and a rear case body 620 forming the framework thereof, a drive motor 630 arranged on the back side of the rear case body 620, and a drive thereof. A plurality of gears (1st to 5th storage gears 641 to 645 and front gear 646) as transmission means for transmitting the rotational driving force of the motor 630, and the rotational driving force of the drive motor 630 are transmitted via the plurality of gears. The first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 that are rotated by being rotated, the spherical liquid crystal device 670 arranged on the inner peripheral side of the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660, and the front case body 610. It mainly includes a light emitting device 680 arranged on the front surface.

The front case body 610 and the back case body 620 are formed in a flat plate shape from a resin material, are arranged facing each other at a predetermined interval, and are fastened and fixed to each other by screws (not shown). It is configured as an accommodating member in which an internal space is formed between the facing surfaces. The first to fifth storage gears 641 to 645 and the storage flange portion 653 of the first rotating body 650 are housed in the internal spaces (between the facing surfaces) of the front case body 610 and the back case body 620, respectively.

Circular openings 611 and 621 are formed in the front case body 610 and the rear case body 620, respectively, and these openings 611 and 621 are arranged concentrically in the assembled state. On the front side of the front case body 610, a cylindrical tubular portion 612 is projected toward the front (front) at a position concentric with the openings 611 and 621. In the front case body 610, the inner diameters of the opening 611 and the tubular portion 612 are set to the same dimensions, and the main body portion 651 of the first rotating body 610 rotates on the inner peripheral side of the opening 611 and the tubular portion 612. Supported as possible. Further, the second rotating body 620 is rotatably supported on the outer peripheral side of the tubular portion 612.

In this way, the first rotating body 650 (main body portion 651) and the second rotating body 660 are rotatably supported by the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 611 of the front case body 610. The arrangement positions of the rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 can be defined with reference to the front case body 610, respectively. Therefore, as will be described later, the gears (first and second outer peripheral gears 653a, 661a) engraved on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first rotating body 650 (storage flange portion 653) and the second rotating body 660, and the front surface. The positional relationship between the second accommodating gear 642 and the front gear 646 arranged on the case body 610 can be defined with reference to the front case body 610. As a result, the meshing state between the outer peripheral gears 653a and 661a of both rotating bodies 650 and 660 and the second accommodating gear 642 and the front gear 646 can be stabilized, so that uneven wear of the gears can be suppressed and the drive resistance can be suppressed. Can be suppressed.

The drive motor 630 has a pinion gear 631 attached to its drive shaft and is mounted on the back surface of the rear case body 620, whereby the pinion gear 631 is attached to the first storage gear 641 among a plurality of gears constituting the transmission means. Make teeth fit. Therefore, the rotational driving force of the drive motor 420 can be transmitted to the transmission means (plurality of gears) via the pinion gear 431, and as a result, as described later, the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 can be transmitted. Can be rotated respectively.

As described above, the first to fifth storage gears 641 to 645 and the front gear 646 are gear groups for transmitting the rotational driving force of the drive motor 630 to the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660. Each tooth is formed as a spur gear carved on the outer peripheral surface in parallel with the axis of rotation. The 1st to 5th storage gears 641 to 645 are rotatably supported on the back side of the front case body 610, and are connected (toothed) in series so that the 1st storage gear 641 is at the head and the 5th storage gear is stored. One gear train (gear train) having a gear 645 as a tail is formed.

The front gear 646 is rotatably supported on the front side of the front case body 610 in a state where it can rotate synchronously with the fifth storage gear 645. That is, the front gear 646 and the fifth storage gear 645 are fixed to one end and the other end of the rotating shaft arranged so as to penetrate the front case body 610, and both gears 645 and 646 and the rotating shaft are integrally integrated. It is rotated.

According to the gear group configured as described above, when the drive motor 630 is rotationally driven, the rotational driving force is transmitted to the first accommodating gear 641 via the pinion gear 631, and the first accommodating gear 641 is rotated. .. The rotation of the first accommodation gear 641 is transmitted to the fifth accommodation gear 645 by the action of the gear train (gear train), and the rotation of the fifth accommodation gear 645 causes the front gear 646 to rotate.

Here, as will be described later, the second accommodating gear 642 has the first outer peripheral gear 653a of the first rotating body 650 (storage flange portion 653), and the front gear 646 has the second outer peripheral of the second rotating body 660. Since the gears 661a are meshed with each other, the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 can be rotated as the drive motor 630 is rotationally driven. That is, by rotationally driving the drive motor 630, the two rotating bodies (first rotating body 650 and second rotating body 660) can be rotated at the same time.

In this case, in the present embodiment, an even number of gears (third and fourth accommodating gears 643, 644) are interposed between the second accommodating gear 642 and the fifth accommodating gear 645. Therefore, not only can the rotation speeds between the front gear 646 and the second accommodation gear 642, which are synchronously rotated by the fifth accommodation gear 645, be different, but also the rotation between the second accommodation gear 642 and the front gear 646 can be made different. You can also change the direction. As a result, as will be described later, the rotation speed and the rotation direction between the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 can be different from each other.

Further, in the present embodiment, a gear train including the second storage gear 642 is arranged on the back side of the front case body 610, and a front gear is arranged on the front side of the front case cheer 610, respectively, and the front side of the front case body 610 and the front side of the front case body 610 are arranged. On the rear side, the second storage gear 642 and the front gear 646 are meshed with the first outer peripheral gear 653a of the first rotating body 650 and the second outer peripheral gear 651a of the second rotating body 660, respectively. Therefore, for example, both the second storage gear 642 and the front gear 646 are arranged on the front side of the front case body 610, and both gears 642 and 646 are meshed with the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660, respectively. Not only the transmission structure that transmits the rotational driving force of the drive motor 630 to the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660, but also the structure of the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 itself as compared with the structure to make the driving motor 630. Can be simplified.

Further, the gear train and the storage flange portion 653 of the first rotating body 650 to which the second storage gear 642 of the gear trains are meshed with each other are arranged on the back side of the front case body 610 to rotate. The gear train and the storage flange portion 653 can be shielded by the front case body 610 from the player who looks at the operation unit 600 from the front. That is, a shielding structure for invisible shielding the gear train and the storage flange portion 653 can be simply formed by using the back case body 610 without the need to provide a separate member.

The first rotating body 650 is an effecting member for performing an effect by rotating around the spherical liquid crystal device 670 (see FIG. 33), and is integrated with the main body portion 651 on one side in the axial direction of the main body portion 651. It mainly includes a front surface effect portion 652 to be formed, and a storage flange portion 653 to be fastened and fixed to the other side (axial end face) in the axial direction of the main body portion 651 with screws.

The main body portion 651 is a portion formed in a cylindrical shape from the resin material, and is inserted into the opening 611 in the front case body 610 and the inner peripheral side of the tubular portion 612. That is, the first rotating body 650 is rotatably held by the front case body 610 (opening 611 and tubular portion 612) with the main body portion 651 as a rotation axis. Here, the detailed configuration of the main body portion 651 will be described with reference to FIG. 37.

37 (a) is a rear view of the main body 651, and FIG. 37 (b) is a partially enlarged rear view of the main body 651 which is an enlarged view of the XXXVII portion of FIG. 37 (a). In addition, in FIG. 37 (b), in order to facilitate understanding, the diameters of the first protruding portion 651a and the second protruding portion 651b are schematically shown in a larger size than they actually are, and the first protruding portion 651a is shown. A virtual circle IS, which is a virtual circle inscribed with each apex of the second protrusion 651b, is illustrated using a two-dot chain line.

As shown in FIGS. 37 (a) and 37 (b), a first protruding portion 651a and a second protruding portion 651b are formed on the main body portion 651, and at positions corresponding to the second protruding portion 651b. , The offset portion 651c is formed.

The first protruding portion 651a and the second protruding portion 651b are formed so as to project from the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 651, respectively, and are formed along the axial direction of the main body portion 651 (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 37 (a)). However, it is a portion extending over the entire length of the main body portion 651 (see FIG. 35), and is a plurality of locations (a total of eight locations in the present embodiment) at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The portions 651b are alternately arranged and formed in the circumferential direction.

That is, in the first protruding portion 651a, a cylindrical body having a circular cross section having a diameter dimension larger than the plate thickness dimension of the main body portion 561 is embedded in the main body portion 651 in a posture in which the axial direction coincides with the main body portion 651. It is formed by a portion (a part of the columnar body) protruding from the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 651 of the buried columnar body. The second protruding portion 651b is also the same as the first protruding portion 651a except that the diameter of the columnar body embedded in the main body portion 651 is larger than that of the first protruding portion 651a.

In this way, the first protruding portion 651a and the second protruding portion 651b projecting from the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 651 are extended along the axial direction over the entire length of the main body portion 651, whereby the main body portion is extended. The rigidity of 651 can be increased.

The second protruding portion 651b is further extended along the axial direction from the axial end surface of the main body portion 651 (the front side surface of the paper surface in FIG. 37 (b)). Therefore, as will be described later, when the storage flange portion 653 is fastened and fixed to the main body portion 651 with screws, the axially extending portion of the second protruding portion 651b is recessed in the front surface of the storage flange portion 653. By being fitted in the recessed portion, the main body portion 651 and the storage flange portion 653 can be firmly coupled to each other so as not to rotate relative to each other (see FIG. 36).

The offset portion 651c is a portion in which the vicinity of the second protruding portion 651b forming portion in the main body portion 651 is offset toward the inner peripheral side while maintaining the plate thickness dimension, and is approximately three times the diameter of the second protruding portion 651b. It is formed over a range (circumferential direction). That is, the offset portion 651c is curved in an arc shape concentric with the main body portion 651 in the axial direction of the main body portion 651 shown in FIG. 37 (b). By forming the offset portion 651c on the main body portion 651 in this way, the axial center of the second protruding portion 651b can be offset and positioned toward the axial center as described later, and the main body portion 651 as a whole can be positioned. Rigidity can be increased.

The plurality of (four in this embodiment) first protrusions 651a are set so that the amount of protrusion from the outer peripheral surface of the main body 651 is the same, and the plurality of (four in this embodiment) second protrusions 652b are set. The amount of protrusion of the main body portion 651 from the outer peripheral surface is set to be the same as that of the first protrusion 651a due to the offset by the offset portion 651c. The amount of protrusion from the outer peripheral surface of the main body 651 is set to be the same for each of the plurality of (8 in this embodiment) first protrusions 651a and second protrusions 652b. As a result, as shown in FIG. 37 (b), the virtual circle IS inscribed by the tops of the first protruding portion 651a and the second protruding portion 652b can be set concentrically on the outer peripheral side of the main body portion 651. In this case, the diameter dimension of the virtual circle IS is set to be the same as or slightly larger than the inner diameter dimension of the opening 611 and the tubular portion 612 in the front case body 610.

Therefore, in a state where the main body portion 651 of the first rotating body 650 is inserted through the opening 611 of the front case body 610 and the inner peripheral side of the tubular portion 612, the contact areas thereof are the first protruding portion 651a and the second protruding portion. Since it can be limited to each top of the 651b, the contact resistance can be suppressed and the main body 651 can be smoothly rotated on the inner peripheral side of the opening 611 and the tubular portion 612.

In particular, the first protruding portion 651a and the second protruding portion 651b have an arcuate shape in the axial direction (specifically, an arcuate shape in which the shape of a cross section cut along a plane orthogonal to the axial direction of the main body portion 651 is convex outward. ), Not only can the contact area be suppressed, but also the tops of the first and second protrusions 651a and 651b can smoothly contact the inner peripheral surface of the opening 611 of the front case body 610 and the tubular portion 612. Therefore, even if there is rattling due to the dimensional tolerance, the main body portion 651 can be rotated more smoothly on the inner peripheral side of the opening 611 and the tubular portion 612.

As described above, the first protruding portion 651a and the second protruding portion 651b are projected not only from the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 651 but also from the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 651. As a result, when the main body portion 651 is molded by the resin mold, the shape of the main body portion 651 can be made uniform (symmetrical shape) on the outer peripheral surface side and the inner peripheral surface side, and the formability can be ensured.

In particular, in the present embodiment, in the axial view of the main body portion 651 shown in FIG. 37 (b), the first protruding portion 651a has a protruding dimension of a portion formed so as to project from the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 651 and the main body portion 651. The protrusion dimension of the portion formed by protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the above is the same. Similarly, in the second protruding portion 651a, the protruding dimension of the portion formed by protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the offset portion 651c and the protruding dimension of the portion formed by protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the offset portion 651c are the same. .. Therefore, the shapes on the outer peripheral surface side and the inner peripheral surface side of the main body portion 651 can be made more uniform (symmetrical shape), and the formability thereof can be further ensured.

Further, in the second protruding portion 651b, a hole having a circular cross section formed along the axial direction thereof is formed over the entire length (see FIG. 36). As a result, the wall thickness dimension of the second protruding portion 651b, which has a larger diameter than that of the first protruding portion 651a, can be made uniform with other parts (main body portion 651, offset portion 651c, first protruding portion 651a, etc.). As a result, the moldability of the main body portion 651 can be ensured.

In this case, a female screw is engraved on the inner peripheral surface of the hole formed in the second protruding portion 651b, and a screw for fastening and fixing the storage flange portion 653 can be screwed (see FIG. 36). As described above, the strength of the screw fastening portion can be ensured by having the second protruding portion 651b formed having a relatively large diameter bear the screw fastening portion for fastening the screw. In particular, the second protruding portion 651b is a portion formed in the offset portion 651c, and the rigidity of the main body portion 651 is strengthened. Therefore, the second protruding portion 651b connects the connecting portion between the main body portion 651 and the storage flange portion 653. By carrying it, it is possible to firmly connect the two and improve the durability.

It will be described back from FIG. 34 to FIG. 36. The front effect portion 652 is a portion visually recognized as an effect portion by the player, and is formed so as to project radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 651 in a flange shape. The front surface (front surface, appearance forming surface) of the front staging unit 652 is plated, and an appearance imitating a glossy metal is given to the front staging unit 652. The front staging unit 652 is made of a light-transmitting resin material, but by being plated, the light emitting device 680 (light emitting element 681) can be visually recognized by the player through the front staging unit 652. It can be avoided.

The front view shape of the front effect portion 652 is formed into a saw blade shape in which irregularly shaped peaks (second portion) and valleys (first portion) are repeated along the circumferential direction, and in the present embodiment, 16 pieces are formed. Mountains (valleys) are arranged at uneven intervals (unequal pitch) in the circumferential direction. As will be described later, when the first rotating body 650 is rotated, the peaks and valleys of the front staging unit 652 pass through the front side (front) of the light emitting element 681 of the light emitting device 680 in order, thereby emitting light to the player. The element 681 can be visually recognized intermittently and selectively (see FIG. 39).

The storage flange portion 653 is a portion to be stored in the internal space (between the facing surfaces) of the front case body 610 and the rear case body 620, is formed in a front view annular shape, and is a tubular portion of the front case body 610. It is fastened and fixed to the axial end surface of the main body portion 651 inserted through the 612 via the opening 611. Specifically, as described above, the storage flange portion 653 is fastened and fixed to the main body portion 651 by screwing the screw inserted through the storage flange portion 653 into the second protruding portion 651b of the main body portion 651.

The thickness of the storage flange portion 653 is set to be the same as or slightly smaller than the facing surface distance between the front case body 610 and the back case body 620, and the outer diameter dimension is set to the front case body 610 and the back case. The size is set to be larger than the inner diameter of the openings 611 and 621 in the body 620. Therefore, the first rotating body 650 defines the axial position of the first rotating body 650 by bringing the front surface or the back surface of the storage flange portion 653 into contact with the back surface of the front case body 610 or the front surface of the rear case body 620. can.

A first outer peripheral gear 653a is engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the storage flange portion 653, and the first outer peripheral gear 653a is used for the second storage of the above-mentioned gear train arranged on the back surface of the front case body 610. Gears 642 are meshed. Therefore, when the gear train is rotated by the rotational driving force of the drive motor 630, the rotation is transmitted to the storage flange portion 653 via the second storage gear 642 and the first outer peripheral gear 653a, and the first rotating body 650 It is rotated.

As described above, in the first rotating body 650, the first outer peripheral gear 653a is engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the storage flange portion 653, and among the gear trains arranged along the peripheral edge in the opening 511 of the front case body 610. Since the second storage gear 642 is meshed with the first outer peripheral gear 653a, the transmission structure for transmitting the rotational driving force of the drive motor 630 to the first rotating body 650 can be simplified. In particular, since the first rotating body 650 is formed in a cylindrical shape and the projected surface portion 671 of the spherical liquid crystal display device 670 described later is arranged on the inner peripheral side thereof, it is difficult to secure a space on the inner peripheral surface side. Will be. Therefore, it is effective to be able to dispose the above-mentioned transmission structure on the outer peripheral side of the first rotating body 650.

Further, as described above, since the first rotating body 650 (main body portion 651) is rotatably supported on the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion 611 of the front case body 610, the arrangement of the first rotating body 650 is such. The position can be defined with reference to the front case body 610. Therefore, the position between the gear (first outer peripheral gear 653a) engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 650 (storage flange portion 653) and the second accommodating gear 642 arranged on the front case body 610. The relationship can be defined with reference to the front case body 610. As a result, the meshing state of the first outer peripheral gear 653a of the first rotating body 650 and the second accommodating gear 642 can be stabilized, so that uneven wear of the gear can be suppressed and drive resistance can be suppressed. can.

The second rotating body 660 is an effecting member for producing an effect by rotating on the back surface side of the first rotating body 650 (see FIG. 33), and is a main body portion formed in a cylindrical shape from a light-transmitting resin material. It mainly includes a 661 and a front staging unit 662 integrally formed on the axial end surface of the main body portion 661.

The inner diameter of the main body 661 is set to be the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 612 of the front case body 610, and is fitted on the outer peripheral side of the tubular portion 612 (that is,). (By inserting the tubular portion 612 on the inner peripheral side of the main body portion 661), it is rotatably held by the front case body 610 (cylindrical portion 612).

A second outer peripheral gear 661a is engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 661, and the above-mentioned front gear 646 disposed on the front surface of the front case body 610 is meshed with the second outer peripheral gear 661a. Therefore, when the above-mentioned gear train and front gear 646 are rotated by the rotational driving force of the drive motor 630, the rotation is transmitted to the main body portion 661 via the front gear 646 and the second outer peripheral gear 661a, and the second rotation is performed. The body 660 is rotated.

In this way, the second rotating body 660 has the second outer peripheral gear 661a engraved on the outer peripheral surface thereof, and the front gear 646 disposed in front of the front case body 610 is meshed with the second outer peripheral gear 661a. , The transmission structure for transmitting the rotational driving force of the drive motor 630 to the second rotating body 660 can be simplified. In particular, since the second rotating body 650 has a structure in which it is formed in a cylindrical shape and is rotatably held by being fitted onto the tubular portion 612 of the front case body 610, a space is secured on the inner peripheral surface side. It becomes difficult to do. Therefore, it is effective to be able to dispose the above-mentioned transmission structure on the outer peripheral side of the second rotating body 660.

Further, as described above, since the second rotating body 660 is rotatably supported on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 611 of the front case body 610, the arrangement position of the second rotating body 660 is set to the front case body. It can be specified based on 610. Therefore, the positional relationship between the gear (second outer peripheral gear 661a) engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 660 and the front gear 646 disposed on the front case body 610 is determined by the front case body 610. Can be specified as a standard. As a result, the meshing state of the second outer peripheral gear 661a of the second rotating body 660 and the front gear 646 can be stabilized, so that uneven wear of the gear can be suppressed and drive resistance can be suppressed.

The axial dimension of the main body portion 661 is set to a dimension equal to or slightly smaller than the facing distance between the front surface of the front case body 610 and the back surface of the front surface effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650. Therefore, in the second rotating body 660, the end face on one side in the axial direction or the end face on the other side in the axial direction of the main body 661 is brought into contact with the back surface of the front effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650 or the front surface of the front case body 610. This makes it possible to define the axial position of the second rotating body 650.

The main body portion 661 has a front ridge 661b and a back ridge 661c projecting from an end surface on one side in the axial direction and an end surface on the other side in the axial direction, respectively. The front ridge 661b is formed in a front view ring shape, and the back ridge 661c is formed in a shape obtained by dividing the front view ring shape at a plurality of points. As a result, when rotating the first rotating body 660, the frictional resistance between the main body portion 661 and the front case 610 and the second rotating body 650 (front staging section 652) is reduced, and the load of the drive motor 630 is reduced. Can be suppressed.

The front staging unit 662 is located on the back side of the front staging unit 652 in the first rotating body 650, and is a portion visually recognized by the player as the staging part together with the staging unit 652, and is radially from the outer peripheral surface of the main body unit 661. It is formed by projecting outward in a flange shape. The front effect portion 662 has an outer peripheral side portion 662a formed in a saw blade shape in which irregularly shaped peaks and valleys are repeated along the circumferential direction, and a front view annular shape on the inner peripheral side of the outer peripheral side portion 662a. It is provided with an inner peripheral side portion 662b which is a portion.

The front surface (front surface, appearance forming surface) of the front surface effect unit 662 is plated as in the case of the front surface effect unit 652 of the first rotating body 650. However, in the above-mentioned first rotating body 650, the entire surface (entire range) of the front staging section 652 was plated, but in the second rotating body 650, only the outer peripheral side portion 662a of the front staging section 662 was plated. Is applied, and the inner peripheral side portion 662b is not plated.

Therefore, as will be described later, the peaks (second portion) and valleys (first portion) of the front staging unit 652 in the first rotating body 650 are sequentially passed through the front side (front) of the light emitting element 681 in the light emitting device 680. When the light emitting element 681 is intermittently and selectively visually recognized by the player, the light emitting element 681 is transparent to the inner peripheral side portion 662b (that is, the unplated portion) of the front staging unit 662. Therefore, it is possible for the player to visually recognize it (see FIG. 39).

The spherical liquid crystal device 670 includes a projected surface portion 671 formed as a spherical shell from a light-transmitting material, and a case body 672 in which a projection device for projecting an image on the inner surface of the spherical shell of the projected surface portion 671 is housed. Is mainly provided, and the image projected from the projection device and transmitted to the outer surface of the projected surface portion 671 is visually recognized by the player. In the assembled state, the case body 672 is fastened and fixed to the back surface of the rear case body 620, and the projected surface portion 671 projects approximately half of the spherical shell forward from the front surface of the front effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650. It is arranged on the inner peripheral side of the first rotating body 650 in a vertical posture (see FIG. 33).

The light emitting device 680 includes a front view ring-shaped case body 681 externally fitted to the tubular portion 612 of the front case 610, a circuit board housed in the case body 681, and the front surface (front surface) of the circuit board. It mainly includes a plurality of (12 in this embodiment) light emitting elements 682 arranged (mounted) on the side, and in the assembled state, the front effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660. It is arranged on the back side of the 662.

On the front surface (front surface) of the case body 681, openings having an outer shape larger than that of the light emitting element 682 are formed at 12 locations at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and each light emitting element corresponds to the opening position of each opening. 682 is mounted on the circuit board. That is, in the front view of the light emitting device 680, the light emitting element 682 is exposed from the opening of the case body 681, and the light emitted from the light emitting element 682 is transmitted to the front side (first rotation) through the opening of the case body 681. It is possible to irradiate the front effect portion 652,662) of the body 650 and the second rotating body 660.

As described above, the front surface effect section 652 and 662 of the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 are arranged on the front surface (front surface) side of the light emitting device 680, and the front surface effect section 652 of the first rotating body 650 is arranged. Is rotated so that the light emitted by the light emitting element 682 can be intermittently and selectively visually recognized by the player. Here, a structure for allowing the player to visually recognize the light emission of the light emitting element 682 intermittently and selectively will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39.

FIG. 38 is a front view of the rotary operation unit 600, and FIGS. 38 (a) and 38 (b) show a state in which the first rotating bodies 650 are arranged at different rotational positions from each other. 39 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the rotary operation unit 600 in the XXXA-XXXIXa line of FIG. 38 (a), and FIG. 39 (b) is a rotary operation unit 600 in the XXXIXb-XXXIXb line of FIG. 38 (b). It is a sectional view of.

In FIG. 38, in order to clarify the phase relationship between the front effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650 and the light emitting element 682 of the light emitting device 680, the first rotating body 650 of the rotating operation unit 600 and the first rotating body 650 Only the light emitting device 680 is shown, and in FIG. 39, in order to clarify the relationship between the front effect portions 652 and 662 of the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 and the light emitting element 682 of the light emitting device 680 in the radial position. The disassembled state in which the second rotating body 660 is added to the first rotating body 650 and the light emitting device 680 shown in FIG. 38 is schematically illustrated.

As shown in FIGS. 38 and 39, the front view shape of the front effect portion 652 in the first rotating body 650 is such that irregularly shaped peaks (second portion) and valleys (first portion) are repeated along the circumferential direction. The position of the light emitting element 682 in the light emitting device 680 is radially outside (upper side in FIG. 39 (a)) of the valley bottom in the front effect portion 652 and is formed in the front effect unit 652. It is set to a radial position (vertical position in FIG. 39 (a)) that is radially inside (lower side in FIG. 39 (a)) from the mountaintop.

In this case, as described above, the inner peripheral side portion 662b of the front staging portion 662 of the second rotating body 660 is formed so that the front surface (front surface) is not plated and light can be transmitted. The forming range of the peripheral side portion 662b (the range shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 39) is set to a range including the valley bottom in the front staging unit 652 of the first rotating body 650 and the light emitting element 682 of the light emitting device 680. That is, in front view, light is emitted from the valley portion of the front staging unit 652 of the first rotating body 650 through the inner peripheral side portion 662b of the front staging unit 662 of the second rotating body 660 (that is, transmitted). The light emitting element 682 of the device 680 can be visually recognized by the player.

Further, as described above, the outer peripheral side portion 662a of the front surface effect portion 662 of the second rotating body 660 is plated on the front surface (front surface) to give an appearance imitating a glossy metal. The outer peripheral side portion 662a is arranged so as to face the back surface side of the front surface effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650. That is, in front view, the player can visually recognize the outer peripheral side portion 662a of the front staging unit 662 of the second rotating body 660 from the valley portion of the front staging unit 652 of the first rotating body 650.

As described above, according to the rotation operation unit 600, in the front effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650, peaks and valleys are alternately formed in the circumferential direction in the region overlapping the light emitting element 682 of the light emitting device 680 in the front view. Therefore, with the rotation of the first rotating body 650, the peaks and valleys of the front effect portion 652 alternately pass in front of the light emitting element 682, so that the light emitted from the light emitting element 682 is emitted by the second rotating body 660. Through the inner peripheral side portion 662b of the front effect portion 682 of the above, the player can be made to visually recognize the player intermittently. As a result, it is possible to effectively perform an effect of rotating a plurality of rotating bodies (first rotating body 650 and second rotating body 660) around the spherical liquid crystal device 670 as a center.

Further, the outer peripheral side portion 662a of the front surface effect portion 662 of the second rotating body 660 is plated to give an appearance imitating a glossy metal, and the front (front) side of the outer peripheral side portion 662a is given an appearance. Is provided with a front surface effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650. Therefore, as described above, when the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 are rotated in opposite directions to each other, the first rotating body 650 passes through the valley portion in the front effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650. It is possible to make the player visually recognize that the outer peripheral side portion 662a of the front effect portion 652 of the two rotating bodies 660 is rotated in the direction opposite to the front effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650.

That is, according to the rotary operation unit 600, the light emitting element 682 of the light emitting device 680 is intermittently visually recognized on the valley bottom side of the mountain valley shape of the front effect unit 652 by the player who looks at the first rotating body 650 from the front. On the mountaintop side of the front effect portion 652 in the mountain valley shape, the front effect portion 662 (outer peripheral side portion 662a) of the second rotating body 660 is rotated in the opposite direction to the front effect portion 652 (mountain valley shape) of the first rotating body 650. It is possible to visually recognize the mode. As a result, the rotation of the first rotating body 650 and the rotation of the second rotating body 660 can be easily recognized by the player, and as a result, a plurality of rotating bodies (first rotating body 650 and second rotating body 660) can be easily recognized. It is possible to effectively perform the effect of rotating each of them.

Further, according to the rotation effect unit 600, as described above, valleys in the front effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650 are formed at 16 points in the circumferential direction, while the light emitting element 682 of the light emitting device 680 is formed in the circumferential direction 12. Since the light emitting elements 682 are arranged at the locations, only the specific light emitting element 682 can be selectively visually recognized by the player from the light emitting elements 682 arranged at the 12 locations.

That is, the circumferential spacing of the valley in the front effect unit 652 and the circumferential spacing of the light emitting element 682 are different from each other. For example, in the state shown in FIG. While the provided light emitting element 682 is visible, when the first rotating body 650 (front effect unit 652) is rotated by a predetermined rotation angle from the state shown in FIG. 38 (a), FIG. 38 (b). ), Different light emitting elements 682 are selected, and the light emitting elements 682 arranged at the four locations of the upper right, the lower right, the lower left, and the upper left are visible.

As a result, not only the light emitting element 682 of the light emitting device 680 can be visually recognized intermittently, but also the position of the light emitting element 682 to be visually recognized can be changed in the circumferential direction. The effect of rotating each of the second rotating bodies 660) can be performed more effectively.

Returning from FIG. 34 to FIG. 36, the overall structure of the rotary operation unit 600 will be described. As described above, the opening 611 and the tubular portion 612 are formed in the front case body 610, and the first rotating body 650 is formed separately from the main body portion 651 and the front staging portion 652 with the storage flange portion 653. Therefore, the second rotating body 660 is attached to the outer peripheral side of the tubular portion 612 of the front case body 610, and the main body portion 651 of the first rotating body 650 is inserted through the inner peripheral side of the tubular portion 612 of the front case body 610. At the same time, after the storage flange portion 653 is fastened and fixed to the inserted main body portion 651, the rear case body 620 is fastened and fixed to the front case body 610, whereby the first rotating body 650 is attached to the front case body 610 and the back case body 620. And the second rotating body 660 can be held in a rotatable state.

That is, the first rotating body 650 is rotatably supported by the front case body 610 by inserting the main body portion 651 into the opening 611 and the tubular portion 612 of the front case body 610. In this case, the storage flange portion 653 of the first rotating body 650 can be brought into contact with the back surface of the front case body 610 and the front surface of the rear case body 620, respectively, whereby the first rotating body 650 with respect to both case bodies 610 and 620 can be brought into contact with each other. Displacement to the front side (front) and back side (rear) can be regulated.

At the same time, the second rotating body 660 is rotatably supported by the front case body 610 by being fitted onto the tubular portion 612 of the front case body 610. In this case, the second rotating body 660 (front ridge 661b and back ridge 662c) is brought into contact with the back surface of the front effect portion 652 of the first rotating body 650 and the front surface of the case body 681 of the light emitting device 680, respectively. Thereby, the displacement of the second rotating body 660 to the front side (front side) and the back side (rear side) with respect to both case bodies 610 and 620 can be regulated.

As described above, according to the rotating operation unit 600, the rotating body (first rotating body 650) itself can hold a plurality of rotating bodies (first rotating body 650 and second rotating body 660) in a rotatable state. Also serves as a portion that regulates the displacement of the second rotating body 660, so that the structure can be simplified accordingly. Further, a holding structure capable of holding a plurality of rotating bodies (first rotating body 650 and second rotating body 660) in a rotatable state is fastened and fixed to a main body portion 651 of the first rotating body 650 with a storage flange portion 653. Since it can be formed by just doing it, the assembly process can be simplified. As a result, the product cost can be reduced.

Further, according to the rotation operation unit 600, since the first rotating body 650 is formed in a tubular shape and the opening 621 is formed in the back case body 620, a plurality of rotations are formed in the front case body 610 and the back case body 620. After holding the bodies (first rotating body 650 and second rotating body 660) in a rotatable state, simply attaching and fixing the spherical liquid crystal device 670 from the back side of the rear case body 620, the rotating operation is performed. The assembly of the unit 600 can be completed (see FIG. 33). That is, the spherical liquid crystal display device 670 can be retrofitted to the assembly of each case body 5610, 620 and each rotating body 650, 660 in a separate process. Therefore, this point can also contribute to simplifying the assembly process and reducing the product cost.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is easy to make various modifications and improvements within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. It can be inferred.

In the projecting operation unit 400 in the above embodiment, the case where the relative displacement member 450 is disposed so as to be slidable with respect to the base displacement member 440 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the base displacement member is not necessarily limited to this. The relative displacement member 450 may be rotatably arranged with respect to the 440. That is, the first operation is the same as in the case of the above embodiment, the base displacement member 440 is rotated between the retracted position (see FIG. 13) and the rotation position (see FIG. 14), and the second operation is performed. A configuration may be adopted in which the relative displacement member 450 is rotated between the reference position (see FIG. 14) and the overhang position (see FIG. 15) with respect to the base displacement member 440.

Even with this configuration, the base displacement member 450 in the retracted position is placed in the rotational position by the first movement, and the relative displacement member 450 in the reference position is placed in the overhang position by the second movement. While the entire displacement members 440 and 450 can be fully visually recognized by the player and the effect of the effect can be fully exerted, the relative displacement member 450 in the overhanging position is rotated to the reference position by the second operation. By arranging the base displacement member 440 in the rotational position to the retracted position by the first operation, both the displacement members 440 and 450 are made smaller as a whole, and the space required for accommodating the displacement member is suppressed. can.

In the projecting operation unit 400 in the above embodiment, when the base side displacement member 440 is arranged in the retracted position (see FIG. 17B), the tip end side of the base side displacement member 450 is closer to the tip end side of the relative displacement member 450. The case of projecting to the decorative member 480 side (upper side of FIG. 17B) has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and conversely, the tip end side of the relative displacement member 450 is the base displacement member 450. A configuration may be adopted in which the decorative member 480 side (upper side in FIG. 17B) is projected from the tip side.

Even with this configuration, the rotation loci of both displacement members 440 and 450 can be intersected with the decorative member 480, and at the time of the intersection, the decorative member 480 can be transmitted through and both displacement members 440 and 450 can be visually recognized. By displacing the members 440 and 450, the effect of effect can be enhanced. Further, according to this configuration, when the relative displacement member 450 is projected (see FIG. 15), the area of the decorative portion 454 located in the front (front) can be further expanded, and the area of the decorative portion 454 can be further expanded. It can be improved.

In the composite operation unit 500 in the above embodiment, the driven member 550 (connecting groove 552a) can rotate the driven member 560 (connecting shaft 561b) by forming the connecting groove 552a of the driven member 550 in an elongated hole shape. In addition, the case where the connection is made in a state where the slide can be displaced has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the connection groove 552a is formed in a circular shape, so that the driven member with respect to the driven member 550 (connection groove 552a) is driven. A configuration in which the slide displacement of the 560 (connecting shaft 561b) is disabled (that is, a configuration in which only rotation is allowed) may be adopted. Also with this configuration, when the driven member 560 is relatively displaced with the displacement of the driven member 550, the relative angle of the driven member 560 with respect to the driven member 550 can be changed, so that the trajectory of the driven member 560 can be changed. Can be changed to enhance the effect of production.

In this case, the displacement defining means composed of the first guide groove 513 and the first pin 561a is meshed with the gears arranged concentrically with the connecting shaft 561b on the driven member 560 and the gears thereof. It may be composed of a curved rack gear formed along an arc centered on the drive shaft 551a of the driven member 550 and arranged on the front case body 510 or the rear case body 520. As a result, when the driven member 560 is relatively displaced due to the displacement of the driven member 550, the gear rolls the rack gear, so that the relative angle of the driven member 560 with respect to the driven member 550 can be changed. can.

In the combined operation unit 500 according to the above embodiment, the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523 are formed in the front case body 510 and the rear case body 520, and are inserted into both guide grooves 513 and 523, respectively. The case where the 1-pin 561a and the connecting shaft 561b are formed on the driven member 560 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and conversely, the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523 are formed on the driven member. In addition to being provided in the 560, a configuration is adopted in which the portions (members corresponding to the first pin 561a and the connecting shaft 561b) to be inserted through the guide grooves 513 and 523 are provided in the front case body 510 and / or the back case body 520. May be. Even with this configuration, the driven member 560 can be made to perform a motion that combines a linear motion and a rotary motion with the displacement of the driven member 550. Therefore, the trajectory of the driven member 560 is changed. The effect can be enhanced.

In the composite operation unit 500 in the above embodiment, the case where the first guide groove 513 is formed in the front case body 510 (opening formation) has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first guide groove 513 is not necessarily limited to this. May be formed, for example, as a concave groove having a U-shaped cross section. That is, it is sufficient that the first guide groove 513 has a shape capable of guiding the first pin 561a along the extending direction thereof.

In the combined operation unit 500 in the above embodiment, the case where the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523 are curved and extended while the connection groove 551a is extended linearly has been described, but this is not always the case. On the contrary, the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523 are extended linearly, while the connection groove 551a is curved and extended. Is also good. In particular, for the first guide groove 513 and the second guide groove 523, the case where the radius of curvature is set to a constant arc shape has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a combination of arc shapes having a plurality of radii of curvature is combined. Of course, it is possible to adopt a different shape (for example, an S-shape). As a result, the trajectory of the driven member 560 can be changed in a more complicated manner, so that the effect of staging can be enhanced.

Specifically, for example, when the first guide groove 513 or the second guide groove 523 is set to an arc shape, the arc shape is the starting end of rotation in the rotation direction of the driven member 550 about the shaft portion 555, 554. Alternatively, in the state of being arranged at or near the end, it is preferable to make the radius larger than the reference value (decrease the curvature). That is, the radius in the first range or the end in the first guide groove 513 or the second guide groove 523 and its vicinity and in the second range in the vicinity thereof is made larger than the reference value, or the first range and the second range. It is preferably larger than the radius in the third range located between the ranges. As a result, the load can be reduced and the drive can be smoothly started at the initial stage of starting the drive of the driven member 550 in the stopped state by the drive motor 530.

Alternatively, while the driven member 560 is made invisible by the front case body 510, the radius of the first guide groove 513 or the second guide groove 523 is set to a value larger than the reference value, and a part of the driven member 560. Is exposed (visible) outside the area of the front case body 510 until the entire driven member 560 is exposed outside the area of the front case body 510 (visible). The radius of the guide groove 513 or the second guide groove 523 may be set to a value smaller than the reference value. According to this, in the former case, the operation of the driven member 560 is not visible to the player, so that the load on the drive motor 530 can be reduced without affecting the effect of the effect. In the latter case, the load can be reduced. Since the driven member 560 can be moved quickly in the range where a part of the driven member 560 is shielded from the front case body 510, the effect that the driven member 560 suddenly appears from the front case body 510 and the driven member 560 is the front case body 510. You can quickly hide behind the scenes.

Alternatively, the driven member 560 is decorated within a range partitioned by a pair of virtual lines inclined up and down by 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal line passing through the connecting shaft 561b in the horizontal posture (in the direction view of the connecting shaft 561b (see FIG. 30)). While in the posture in which the position of the center of gravity of the portion 562 is located), the radius of the first guide groove 513 or the second guide groove 523 is set to a value larger than the reference value, and while the driven member 560 exceeds the horizontal posture, the radius is set to a value larger than the reference value. The radius of the first guide groove 513 or the second guide groove 523 may be set to a value smaller than the reference value. According to this, in a region where it is relatively necessary to support the own weight (action of gravity) of the driven member 560 with the driving force of the drive motor 530, the radius is increased to increase the frictional resistance and the driven force in each of the guide grooves 513 and 514. The area where it is necessary to support the own weight (action of gravity) of the driven member 560 by the driving force of the driving motor 530 while reducing the influence of the inertial force due to the attitude change of the member 560 and reducing the load of the driving motor 530. Then, by reducing the radius, the change in the operation of the driven member 560 can be increased and the effect of the effect can be enhanced.

In the rotary operation unit 600 in the above embodiment, the case where the main body portion 651 and the front effect portion 652 are integrated and the storage flange portion 653 is a separate body in the first rotating body 650 has been described, but this is not always the case. The first rotating body 650 may be formed by integrating the main body portion 651 and the storage flange portion 653 and separating the front effect portion 652. Also with this configuration, as in the case of the above embodiment, the structure for holding the plurality of rotating bodies rotatably and the assembly process can be simplified, and the product cost can be reduced.

In the rotary operation unit 600 in the above embodiment, the case where the inner peripheral side portion 662b in the front staging unit 662 of the second rotating body 660 is formed with the front surface (front surface) as a flat surface has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. A part or all of the front surface thereof may be replaced with a flat surface to have another shape. Examples of other shapes include a surface having a plurality of irregularities, a surface formed in a corrugated cross section, an inclined surface, a curved surface, or a surface obtained by combining these. When these other shapes are adopted, not only the light emitted from the light emitting element 682 and transmitted through the inner peripheral side portion 662b can be diffusely reflected or refracted, but also the diffused reflection or the light emitted with the rotation of the second rotating body 660. Since the movement can be given in the direction of refraction, the effect of the effect can be enhanced (see FIG. 39).

In the rotation operation unit 600 in the above embodiment, the case where the outer diameter dimension of the front effect portion 662 of the second rotating body 660 is set to a size that overlaps only a part of the front gear 646 in the front view has been described. (See FIG. 36), the outer diameter of the front effect portion 662 of the second rotating body 660 may be set to a size that overlaps with the entire front gear 646 in front view. As a result, the front gear 646 can be shielded by the front staging unit 662, so that it is not necessary to separately provide a member for making the front gear 646 invisible to the player. If the front gear 646 can be made invisible to the player, the front gear 646 can be a gear having a larger diameter, so that the degree of freedom in setting the gear ratio can be increased. Therefore, the change in the rotation of the second rotating body 660 with respect to the first rotating body 650 can be increased.

In the rotation operation unit 600 in the above embodiment, the description of the stop positions of the first rotating body 650 and the second rotating body 660 is omitted, but the rotation operation unit 600 may be configured as follows. That is, the shape of the mountain in at least one or both of the front effect portions 652 and 662 of the first rotating body 650 or the second rotating body 660 is formed so as to be able to shield the front gear 646 in front view, and the mountain is formed. The rotation of the first rotating body 650 or the second rotating body 660 may be stopped at the phase position where the portion of the shape is arranged in front of the front gear 646. As a result, the front gear 646 can be made invisible to the player when the rotation of the first rotating body 650 or the second rotating body 660 is stopped.

The present invention may be implemented in a pachinko machine or the like of a type different from each of the above embodiments. For example, once a big hit is made, a pachinko machine (commonly known as a two-time right item or a three-time right item) that raises the expected value of the big hit until multiple (for example, two or three times) big hits occur. It may be carried out as). 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, it may be carried out on a pachinko machine that has a winning device having a special area such as a V zone and is in a special gaming state on the condition that a ball is won in the special area. Further, in addition to the pachinko machine, it may be implemented as various gaming machines such as a pachinko machine, a sparrow ball, a slot machine, a so-called gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused.

In the slot machine, for example, the symbol is changed by operating the operation lever in a state where a coin is inserted and the symbol effective line is determined, and the symbol is stopped and confirmed by operating the stop button. It is a thing. Therefore, the basic concept of the slot machine is "provided with a display device that displays the identification information in a variable manner after displaying the identification information string composed of a plurality of identification information in a variable manner, and is caused by the operation of the starting operation means (for example, the operation lever). The variable display of the identification information is started, and the variable display of the identification information is stopped and confirmed and displayed due to the operation of the stop operation means (for example, the stop button) or after a predetermined time has elapsed. A slot machine that generates a special game that gives a player a predetermined game value on the condition that the combination of time identification information is specific. In this case, the game medium is represented by coins, medals, etc. Take as an example.

Further, as a specific example of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused, a display device for variablely displaying a symbol sequence consisting of a plurality of symbols and then confirming the symbol is provided, and a handle for launching a ball is provided. Some are not. In this case, after a predetermined amount of balls are thrown in based on a predetermined operation (button operation), the symbol variation is started, for example, due to the operation of the operation lever, for example, due to the operation of the stop button, or a predetermined amount. With the passage of time, the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped, and a special game is generated in which the player is given a predetermined game value on the condition that the confirmed symbol at the time of the stop is a so-called jackpot symbol, and the player is given a predetermined game value. Is for paying out a large amount of balls to the lower saucer. If such a game machine is used instead of a slot machine, only the ball can be treated as a game value in the game hall, which is a game value seen in the current game hall where pachinko machines and slot machines coexist. Problems such as the burden on equipment and restrictions on the location of gaming machines due to the separate handling of medals and balls can be solved.

Hereinafter, the concepts of various inventions included in the above-described embodiments in addition to the gaming machine of the present invention will be shown.
<Concept of the invention using the protruding operation unit 400 as an example>
In a gaming machine comprising a driving means that generates a driving force and a displacement member that is displaced by the driving force generated by the driving force, the displacement member is rotatably formed between a retracted position and a rotating position. Relatively formed so as to be displaceable between the base displacement member and the reference position and the overhanging position protruding outward from the reference position from the reference position. A first operation comprising a displacement member to rotate the base displacement member between the retracted position and the rotational position, and the relative displacement member at the reference position and the overhang position with respect to the base displacement member. The gaming machine A1 characterized in that the second operation of being displaced between the two is feasible.

Here, in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, there is known a gaming machine that produces an effect by rotating a displacement member around a base end side rotatably supported by the shaft (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2011-92634 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2011-92634). For example, paragraphs 0175 to 0189, see FIG. 83)). According to this gaming machine, by rotating the displacement member in one direction, the tip end side of the displacement member is placed at a predetermined position on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device, while the displacement member is placed in the direction opposite to the one direction. By rotating in the other direction, the displacement member is retracted to the outside (retracted position) of the display area of the liquid crystal display device. However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, if the outer shape of the displacement member is small, it is difficult for the player to sufficiently see the displacement member at a predetermined position on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device, and the effect of the effect is sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, if the outer shape of the displacement member is large, there is a problem that a large space is required outside the display area (retracted position). The gaming machine A1 is made to solve the above-exemplified problems, and can sufficiently make the player visually recognize the displacement member at a predetermined position while suppressing the space required for the retracting position. The purpose is to provide a gaming machine.

That is, according to the game machine A1, the displacement member is arranged on the base-side displacement member rotatably formed between the retracted position and the rotation position, the base-side displacement member, and the reference position and the reference position thereof. The first operation of rotating the base displacement member between the retracted position and the rotating position is provided with a relative displacement member formed so as to be displaceable between the overhanging positions protruding outward from the base displacement member. Since the second operation of displacementing the relative displacement member between the reference position and the overhanging position with respect to the base displacement member can be executed respectively, the base displacement member in the retracted position is rotated by the first operation. When arranging the relative displacement member at the position, the relative displacement member at the reference position is arranged at the overhanging position by the second operation, so that the relative displacement member can be extended outward from the base displacement member. Therefore, since the displacement member can be made larger as a whole by that amount, the displacement member can be sufficiently visually recognized by the player at the rotation position, and the effect of the effect can be sufficiently exerted.

On the other hand, when the base displacement member in the rotation position is arranged in the retracted position by the first operation, the relative displacement member by the overhanging position is arranged in the reference position by the second operation, so that the base of the relative displacement member is arranged. It is possible to suppress the outward protrusion from the side displacement member. Therefore, since the displacement member can be made smaller as a whole, the space required for accommodating the displacement member can be suppressed at the retracted position. As a result, it is possible to secure a space for arranging other parts and devices.

The second operation may be performed at least until it is placed in the retracted position (that is, until the first operation is completed). Therefore, at least a part of the first operation and at least a part of the second operation may be executed in duplicate.

The gaming machine A1 includes a front member arranged in front of the moving plane of the displacement member to form an opening, and when the base displacement member 440 is arranged in a rotational position by the first operation, the relative displacement is provided. When at least a part of the member is made visible to the player through the opening of the front member and the relative displacement member is arranged at the overhanging position by the second operation, the front member of the relative displacement member The gaming machine A2 characterized in that the area visible to the player is expanded through the opening.

According to the game machine A2, in addition to the effect of the game machine A1, the relative displacement member retracted to the retracted position is first made to appear in the opening of the front member by a rotary motion (first motion), and the relative displacement thereof. A player is made to visually recognize only a part of the member, and then, a linear motion (second motion) is performed to expand the visible area of the relative displacement member through the opening of the front member. Can be done.

In the gaming machine A2, the relative displacement member is slidably displaced on the base displacement member, and in the second operation, the relative displacement member is placed at the reference position and overhangs with respect to the base displacement member. A gaming machine A3 characterized by sliding displacement between positions.

According to the game machine A3, in addition to the effect of the game machine A2, the relative displacement member is disposed so as to be slidable to the base displacement member, and the second operation is to move the relative displacement member to the base displacement member. Since the slide displacement is performed between the reference position and the overhang position, for example, the relative displacement member is stretched from the reference position as compared with the case where the second operation is the mode in which the relative displacement member is rotated with respect to the base displacement member. The space required for displacement to the protruding position can be suppressed, and the space for arranging other parts and devices can be secured accordingly. Further, since the aspect of the displacement of the relative displacement member by the second operation can be different from the aspect of the displacement of the base displacement member by the first operation, the effect of performing the first operation and the second operation is produced. Can be enhanced.

In the gaming machine A3, the relative displacement members are arranged in a posture in which the base-side displacement members are aligned with each other in the longitudinal direction, and the slide displacement direction is set to be a direction along the mutual longitudinal directions. A gaming machine A4 characterized by this.

According to the game machine A4, in addition to the effect of the game machine A3, the relative displacement members are arranged in a posture along the longitudinal direction of each other with the base displacement member, and the directions of their slide displacements are different from each other. Since the direction is along the longitudinal direction, the displacement member can be expanded and contracted as a whole by the slide displacement along the longitudinal direction of the relative displacement member with respect to the base displacement member. Therefore, at the rotation position, by enlarging the displacement member as a whole by stretching, the player can sufficiently visually recognize the displacement member, and the effect of the effect can be sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, in the retracted position, by making the displacement member smaller as a whole by shortening it, the space required for accommodating the displacement member can be suppressed, and a space for arranging other parts and devices can be secured. can do.

Further, according to the game machine A4, the relative displacement member retracted to the retracted position is first made to appear from the side in the opening of the front member by a rotary motion (first operation), and a part of the relative displacement member. Only is visually recognized by the player, and then the relative displacement member is expanded toward the opening of the front member by a linear motion (second motion) to expand the area visible to the player. be able to. Therefore, the visible area of the relative displacement member can be expanded by a motion form (linear motion) different from the motion form (rotary motion) at the time of appearance, and the visible area is expanded by the unexpectedness due to the change in the motion form and the linear motion. It is possible to make the player feel the sense of speed due to being performed and the sense of unity of the combined motion due to the combination of these being performed continuously. As a result, it is possible to obtain an effect that cannot be achieved in a form in which the relative displacement member appears and disappears with respect to the opening of the front member only by a linear motion (a form in which the retracted position and the extended position reciprocate).

The gaming machine A4 includes a transmission means for transmitting the driving force of the driving means to the displacement member, and the transmission means is arranged at a position overlapping the displacement member arranged at the retracted position in front view. A gaming machine A5 characterized by this.

According to the game machine A5, in addition to the effect of the game machine A4, a transmission means for transmitting the driving force of the driving means to the displacement member is provided, and the transmission means is provided in front view with the displacement member arranged at the retracted position. Since it is arranged at the overlapping position, the dead space formed on the back surface side of the displacement member arranged at the retracted position can be effectively utilized as the arrangement space of the transmission means.

In the gaming machine A5, a holding member for holding the driving means, the transmitting means, and the displacement member is provided, the driving means and the displacement member are arranged on one surface side of the holding member, and the displacement member is provided in the longitudinal direction thereof. The gaming machine A6 is provided at the retracted position in a posture in which the driving means is located on an extension line of the above.

According to the gaming machine A6, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine A5, the driving means and the displacement member are arranged on one side of the holding member. Therefore, for example, the holding member is sandwiched and driven to one side and the other side. Compared with the case where the means and the displacement member are respectively arranged, it is possible to reduce the size of the dimensions in the direction connecting the one side and the other side of the holding member. Further, since the displacement member is arranged at the retracted position in a posture in which the drive means is located on the extension line in the longitudinal direction thereof, the displacement member and the drive means can be arranged linearly. Therefore, the space required as the evacuation position can be efficiently suppressed.

In any of the game machines A1 to A6, a transmission means for transmitting the driving force of the driving means to the displacement member and a holding member for holding the transmission means are provided, and the transmitting member drives the driving means. A predetermined position between the one-sided position and the other-sided position is pivotally supported at a position eccentric from the rotation center of the rotating member that is rotated by receiving a force, and the one-sided position is rotated by the holding member. A link member that is pivotally supported and whose other side position is connected to the relative displacement member of the displacement member is provided, and when the rotating member is rotated between the first rotation position and the intermediate rotation position, the said. By rotating the base displacement member via the relative displacement member of the displacement member with the displacement of the link member, the first operation is executed, and the rotating member moves between the intermediate rotation position and the second rotation position. The gaming machine A7 is characterized in that when it is rotated between the links, the relative displacement member of the displacement member is displaced with respect to the base displacement member with the displacement of the link member, and the second operation is executed.

According to the game machine A7, the link member pivotally supports a predetermined position between the one-sided position and the other-sided position at a position eccentric from the rotation center of the rotating member, and the one-sided position can be rotated by the holding member. Since the position on the other side is connected to the relative displacement member of the displacement member, the rotation of the rotating member is transferred to the relative displacement member of the displacement member via the link member by rotating the rotating member by the driving force of the driving means. Can be communicated. In this case, when the rotating member is rotated between the first rotation position and the intermediate rotation position, the base displacement member can be rotated via the relative displacement member of the displacement member as the link member is displaced. Can perform actions. On the other hand, when the rotating member is rotated between the intermediate rotation position and the second rotation position, the relative displacement member of the displacement member can be displaced with respect to the base displacement member due to the displacement of the link member, and the second operation. Can be executed. That is, according to the gaming machine A6, in addition to the effect of any one of the gaming machines A1 to A6, two different operations of the first operation and the second operation can be performed by one driving means, so that the component cost can be reduced. It can be reduced and the product cost can be reduced accordingly.

Further, the transmission means may have a structure in which a gear is provided at a position on one side of the link member, and a gear provided on the outer periphery of the rotating member is meshed with the gear to displace the link member. The space required for arranging the member and the link member increases. On the other hand, in the gaming machine A6, since a predetermined position between the one-side position and the other-side position of the link member is pivotally supported by the rotating member, the rotating member and the link member can be arranged so as to overlap each other in the front view. Due to the overlap, the space required for arranging the rotating member and the link member can be suppressed.

Further, since the relative displacement member and the holding member are connected via the transmission member, the shaking of the relative displacement member can be suppressed by utilizing the rigidity of the holding member.

In any of the gaming machines A1 to A7, at least a part thereof is arranged at a position where it overlaps with the displacement locus of the displacement member when the base displacement member of the displacement member is rotated by the first operation. A gaming machine A8 characterized by being provided with decorative members.

According to the gaming machine A8, in addition to the effect of any of the gaming machines A1 to A7, when the base displacement member of the displacement member is rotated by the first operation, at least the displacement member and the decorative member are in front view. It can be crossed in some parts, and the effect of production can be enhanced.

In the game machine A8, the displacement member has one side in the longitudinal direction of the base displacement member as the center of rotation in the first operation, and the relative displacement members are in the longitudinal direction of each other on the front side of the base displacement member. The second operation is to slide-displace the relative displacement member between the reference position and the overhang position with respect to the base displacement member, and the decorative member is. At least a part of the displacement locus on the rotation tip side of the displacement member when the base-side displacement member is rotated by the first operation is arranged at a position where it overlaps with the front view, and the base is arranged by the first operation. When the side displacement member is arranged at the rotation position, the overlap with the displacement member in the front view is not formed, and the relative displacement member has a shape in which the rotation center side is located on the front side rather than the rotation tip side. A game machine A9 characterized by this.

According to the game machine A9, in addition to the effect of the game machine A8, the relative displacement member arranged on the front side of the base side displacement member has a shape in which the rotation center side is located on the front side rather than the rotation tip side, that is, Since the shape is such that the rotation tip side is recessed toward the back surface side, it is possible to prevent the relative displacement member and the decorative member from coming into contact with each other when the base displacement member is rotated by the first operation. In this case, since one side of the displacement member in the longitudinal direction is the center of rotation in the first movement, the free end of the displacement member tends to swing back and forth during the first movement and comes into contact with the decorative member. Is likely to occur. Therefore, the configuration of the gaming machine A9 is particularly effective.

On the other hand, when the relative displacement member is slidly displaced from the reference position to the overhang position by the second operation, the relative displacement member arranged on the front side of the base side displacement member is in front of the rotation center side rather than the rotation tip side. By making the shape located on the side, the relative displacement member can be arranged further forward (the side closer to the player) to increase the force.

In the game machine A9, the shape in which the rotation center side of the relative displacement member is located on the front side of the rotation tip side of the relative displacement member is arbitrary, for example, the shape between the rotation tip side and the rotation center side. , It may change in a stepwise manner, or it may change gradually in a straight line or a curved shape.

In any of the game machines A6 to A9, the pin member provided on one of the base displacement member or the relative displacement member and the pin member provided on the other of the base displacement member or the relative displacement member can be slidably displaced. It is provided with a slide groove that accepts and enables slide displacement of the relative displacement member with respect to the base displacement member, and the position where the other side position of the link member is connected to the relative displacement member is relative to the pin member. The gaming machine A10 characterized in that it is on the tip side in the sliding direction of the displacement member.

According to the game machine A10, in addition to the effect of any of the game machines A6 to A9, the position where the other side position of the link member is connected to the relative displacement member is closer to the tip side of the relative displacement member in the slide direction than the pin member. Therefore, the position where the relative displacement member is supported by the holding member via the link member can be brought closer to the tip side of the relative displacement member in the slide direction. In other words, the location where the relative displacement member is supported by the holding member via the link member can be kept away from the location where the base displacement member is pivotally supported by the holding member. As a result, it is possible to easily suppress the relative displacement member from swinging in the front-rear direction.
<Concept of the invention using the combined operation unit 500 as an example>
In a gaming machine provided with a driving means that generates a driving force, a driven member that is driven and displaced by the driving force generated by the driving force, and a holding member that holds the driven member in a displaceable manner. A driven member that is displaceably connected to the driven member and a displacement defining means that regulates the displacement of the driven member with respect to the holding member are provided, and the displacement defining means causes the driven member to be displaced with respect to the holding member. By being defined, the gaming machine B1 is characterized in that when the driven member is displaced by the driving force of the driving means, the driven member is displaced relative to the driven member.

Here, in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, here, in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, a liquid crystal display is performed from an overhanging position on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device and its overhanging position by a driving force from a driving means. A gaming machine is known that produces an effect by displacing a displacement member from a retracted position that is retracted in a direction outside the display area of the device (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-200790 (for example, paragraph 0995, FIG. 11 to 15)). According to this gaming machine, the mode of displacement of the displacement member is changed by switching the output direction of the drive means or by making the output intermittent. However, the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine has a problem that the control becomes complicated because the output of the driving means is changed, while the displacement member is displaced according to the change of the output of the driving means. Since the velocity is only changed and the displacement direction remains constant, there is a problem that a sufficient change is not given to the displacement mode. The gaming machine B1 has been made to solve the above-exemplified problems, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of imparting a change in the displacement mode of a displacement member while keeping the output of the driving means constant. do.

That is, according to the gaming machine B1, when the driven member is displaced by being driven by the driving force of the driving means, the displacement defining means defines the displacement of the driven member with respect to the holding member, so that the driven member is displaced. As a result, the driven member can be driven while being relatively displaced with respect to the driven member. That is, even when the driven member is displaced on a constant track such as a straight line or an arc, the driven member can be displaced on a track different from that of the driven member. Further, since the change in the mode of such displacement is formed by the relative displacement of the driven member with respect to the driven member, even if the driven member is displaced at a constant speed, it is different from the driven member. The driven member can be displaced in orbit. Therefore, it is possible to change the displacement mode of the driven member while keeping the output of the driving means constant.

In the gaming machine B1, the displacement defining means is guided along a first groove portion formed in a groove shape on one of the driven member or the holding member, and the other of the driven member or the holding member. The gaming machine B2 is characterized by comprising a first guided portion formed in the machine.

According to the gaming machine B2, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine B1, the displacement defining means includes a first groove portion and a first guided portion, and the first guided portion is guided along the first groove portion. The displacement of the driven member with respect to the holding member can be specified. Therefore, the driven member is displaced by being driven by the driving force of the driving means, so that the relative displacement of the driven member with respect to the driven member can be formed according to the contour (shape) of the first groove portion. That is, by setting the contour (shape) of the first groove portion, the mode of relative displacement of the driven member with respect to the driven member can be arbitrarily set. In this way, since the displacement defining means is configured by the groove-shaped portion (first groove portion) and the portion guided to the portion (first guided portion), the structure is simplified and the product cost is reduced. At the same time, it is possible to improve the reliability and durability of the moving part.

In the gaming machine B1 or B2, the driven member is connected to the driven member in a state of being at least rotatable.

According to the gaming machine B3, in the gaming machine B1 or B2, the driven member is connected to the driven member in a state of being at least rotatable. Therefore, when the driven member is relatively displaced with the displacement of the driven member, , The relative angle of the driven member with respect to the driven member can be changed, and the player can be made to recognize a change in a strong impression as a change in the mode of displacement.

In the gaming machine B3, the driven member is connected to the driven member in a rotatable and slide-displaceable state.

According to the game machine B4, in addition to the effect of the game machine B3, the driven member is connected to the driven member in a rotatable and slide-displaceable state, so that the driven member is relative to the driven member as the driven member is displaced. When displacement, not only the relative angle of the driven member with respect to the driven member can be changed by rotation, but also the relative position of both can be changed by slide displacement at the same time. It is possible to increase the variation of changes that can be given.

In the gaming machine B4, the displacement defining means is guided along a second groove portion formed in a groove shape on one of the driven member or the holding member, and the other of the driven member or the holding member. A gaming machine B5, characterized in that a second guided portion is provided on the pachinko machine B5.

According to the gaming machine B5, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine B4, the displacement defining means includes the second groove portion and the second guided portion, and the second guided portion is guided along the second groove portion. The displacement of the driven member with respect to the holding member can be specified. Therefore, since the driven member is displaced by the driving force of the driving means, it is possible to form a relative displacement of the driven member with respect to the driven member according to the contour (shape) of the second groove portion. That is, by setting the contour (shape) of the second groove portion, the mode of relative displacement of the driven member with respect to the driven member can be arbitrarily set. In particular, when the driven member is rotatably and slidably connected to the driven member, the guide structure by the combination of the first groove portion and the first guided portion and the combination of the second groove portion and the second guided portion are used. By providing both the guide structure and the guide structure, it is possible not only to increase the variation of changes that can be given to the displacement mode, but also to provide two such displacements even when the driven member can be displaced in multiple directions with respect to the driven member. Since it can be guided by the guide structure, it is possible to suppress the displacement from becoming unstable and improve the reliability as a movable member.

In the gaming machine B5 as well, as in the case described above, the displacement defining means is configured by the groove-shaped portion (second groove portion) and the portion guided to the portion (second guided portion), so that the structure is formed. It is possible to reduce the product cost and improve the reliability and durability of the movable member.

A gaming machine B6 characterized by being connected.

According to the gaming machine B6, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine B5, the second groove portion is formed in the holding member, the second guided portion is formed in the driven member, and the second guided portion is the driven member. By being inserted into the connecting groove portion, the driven member is connected to the driven member in a rotatable and slide-displaceable state. Therefore, the driven member is held by being guided to the second guided portion and the second groove portion. It is possible to have both the role of defining the displacement with respect to the member and the role of connecting the driven member to the driven member so as to be relatively displaceable by being inserted into the connecting groove portion. As a result, the number of parts can be reduced, the product cost can be reduced, the structure can be simplified, and the reliability and durability of the movable member can be improved.

In the gaming machine B6, in the holding member, at least a portion where the second groove portion is formed is interposed between the driven member and the driven member, and the driven member is the second groove portion of the holding member. The gaming machine B7 is provided with a contact portion that is brought into contact with the peripheral edge of the machine, and the contact portion is formed in a concentric circle on the second guided portion.

According to the gaming machine B7, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine B6, the driven member includes a contact portion that comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the second groove portion of the holding member, and the contact portion is the second guided portion. Since it is formed in a concentric circle, the contact area between the contact portion and the holding portion (periphery of the second groove portion) even when the driven member is rotated with respect to the holding member (second groove portion). It is possible to suppress the change in the supporting reaction force by keeping the value constant. As a result, the driven member can be displaced in a stable state.

In any of the gaming machines B1 to B7, the holding member can be displaced by the driving force of the driving means, and the driven member can be displaced by the displacement of the driven member. The gaming machine B8 is characterized in that the driving means, the driven member, and the driven member are formed so as to be able to be held in such a state.

According to the gaming machine B8, in addition to the effect of any of the gaming machines B1 to B7, the holding member is capable of being displaced by the driving force of the driving means, and the driven member is displaced. Since the driven means, the driven member, and the driven member are formed so as to be able to be held in a state where the driven member is displaceable, one device in which the driven means, the driven member, and the driven member are held by the holding member. Can be unitized as. As a result, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost when assembling the unit itself and the manufacturing cost when assembling the unit to the gaming machine main body and assembling the gaming machine.

In the gaming machine B8, the gaming machine B9 is characterized in that the first groove portion is formed in the holding member and the first guided portion is formed in the driven member.

According to the gaming machine B9, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine B8, the first groove portion is formed in the holding member and the first guided portion is formed in the driven member, so that the first groove portion is formed. It is easy to secure space. That is, a space for forming the first groove portion is provided by utilizing the dead space of the holding member that must be formed in a relatively large outer shape in order to hold and unitize the driving means, the driven member, and the driven member. Can be secured. As a result, the degree of freedom in the contour (shape) and the extension length of the first groove portion can be increased, and the variation of changes that can be given to the displacement mode can be increased accordingly.

In the gaming machine B9, the displacement defining means includes a second groove portion formed in a groove shape on the holding member, and a second guided portion guided along the second groove portion and formed on the driven member. The holding member includes a first facing portion and a second facing portion facing each other across the driven member, and the first groove portion is formed on one of the first facing portion and the second facing portion. The gaming machine B10 is characterized in that the second groove portion is formed on the other side of the first facing portion or the second facing portion.

According to the gaming machine B10, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine B9, a first groove portion is formed in one of the first facing portion and the second facing portion of the holding members facing each other across the driven member, and the other. Since the second groove portion is formed in, the first groove portion and the second groove portion can be formed without considering the formation position of the partner. That is, when both the first groove portion and the second groove portion are formed in one of the first facing portion and the second facing portion, it is necessary to form the first groove portion and the second groove portion so as not to intersect each other. , The degree of freedom is limited. On the other hand, according to the gaming machine B10, the contour (shape) and the extension length of both the first groove portion and the second groove portion can be set without considering the positional relationship with the other party. The degree of freedom can be increased, and the variation of changes that can be given to the mode of displacement can be increased accordingly.

<Others>
In a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, there is known a gaming machine that produces an effect by rotating a displacement member around a base end side rotatably supported by the shaft (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-92634 (for example, paragraph). 0175 to 0189, see FIG. 83)). According to this gaming machine, by rotating the displacement member in one direction, the tip end side of the displacement member is placed at a predetermined position on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device, while the displacement member is placed in the direction opposite to the one direction. By rotating in the other direction, the displacement member is retracted to the outside (retracted position) of the display area of the liquid crystal display device.
However, in the above-mentioned conventional game machine, if the outer shape of the displacement member is small, it is difficult for the player to sufficiently see the displacement member at a predetermined position on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device, and the effect of the effect is sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, if the outer shape of the displacement member is large, there is a problem that a large space is required outside the display area (retracted position).
The present technical idea is to solve the above-exemplified problems, and it is possible to make the displacement member sufficiently visible to the player at a predetermined position while suppressing the space required for the retracted position. The purpose is to provide a game machine that can be used.
<Means>
In order to achieve this object, the gaming machine of the technical idea 1 includes a driving means for generating a driving force and a displacement member displaced by the driving force generated by the driving force, and the displacement is described above. The members are arranged on the base displacement member rotatably formed between the retracted position and the rotation position, and are arranged on the base displacement member and outward from the reference position and the reference position. The first operation of rotating the base displacement member between the retracted position and the rotating position, and the relative displacement member are provided with a relative displacement member formed so as to be displaceable between the overhanging positions. The second operation of displacing the base displacement member between the reference position and the overhanging position can be performed, respectively.
The gaming machine according to the technical idea 2 is the gaming machine according to the technical idea 1, in which the relative displacement member is slidably displaced on the base displacement member, and the second operation is the relative displacement member. The base displacement member is slid and displaced between the reference position and the overhanging position.
The gaming machine according to the technical idea 3 is the gaming machine according to the technical idea 2, wherein the relative displacement members are arranged in a posture along the longitudinal directions of the base displacement members and the slide displacement members. Is the direction along the longitudinal direction of each other.
<Effect>
According to the gaming machine according to the technical idea 1, the displacement member is arranged on the base displacement member rotatably formed between the retracted position and the rotational position, and the base displacement member, and the reference position and the reference position. It is provided with a relative displacement member formed so as to be displaceable between the overhanging positions protruding outward from the base displacement member from the reference position, and the base displacement member is rotated between the retracted position and the rotated position. Since one operation and the second operation of displacementing the relative displacement member between the reference position and the overhanging position with respect to the base displacement member can be performed respectively, the base displacement member in the retracted position is the first. When arranging the relative displacement member in the rotation position by the operation, the relative displacement member in the reference position is arranged in the overhanging position by the second operation, so that the relative displacement member can be extended outward from the base displacement member. can. Therefore, since the displacement member can be made larger as a whole by that amount, the displacement member can be sufficiently visually recognized by the player at the rotation position, and the effect of the effect can be sufficiently exerted.
On the other hand, when the base displacement member in the rotation position is arranged in the retracted position by the first operation, the relative displacement member by the overhanging position is arranged in the reference position by the second operation, so that the base of the relative displacement member is arranged. It is possible to suppress the outward protrusion from the side displacement member. Therefore, since the displacement member can be made smaller as a whole, the space required for accommodating the displacement member can be suppressed at the retracted position. As a result, it is possible to secure a space for arranging other parts and devices.
The second operation may be performed at least until it is placed in the retracted position (that is, until the first operation is completed). Therefore, at least a part of the first operation and at least a part of the second operation may be executed in duplicate.
According to the gaming machine described in Technical Thought 2, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine described in Technical Thought 1, the relative displacement member is disposed on the base displacement member so as to be slidable, and the second operation is relative. Since the displacement member is slid and displaced with respect to the base displacement member between the reference position and the overhang position, for example, as compared with the case where the second operation is a mode in which the relative displacement member is rotated with respect to the base displacement member. Therefore, the space required to displace the relative displacement member from the reference position to the overhanging position can be suppressed, and the space for arranging other parts and devices can be secured accordingly. Further, since the aspect of the displacement of the relative displacement member by the second operation can be different from the aspect of the displacement of the base displacement member by the first operation, the effect of performing the first operation and the second operation is produced. Can be enhanced.
According to the gaming machine described in the technical idea 3, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine described in the technical idea 2, the relative displacement members are arranged in a posture along the longitudinal direction of each other with the base displacement member. At the same time, since the direction of the slide displacement is the direction along the longitudinal direction of each other, the displacement member can be expanded and contracted as a whole by the slide displacement along the longitudinal direction of the relative displacement member with respect to the base displacement member. Therefore, at the rotation position, by enlarging the displacement member as a whole by stretching, the player can sufficiently visually recognize the displacement member, and the effect of the effect can be sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, in the retracted position, by making the displacement member smaller as a whole by shortening it, the space required for accommodating the displacement member can be suppressed, and a space for arranging other parts and devices can be secured. can do.
