2. Description of the Related Art In a pachinko machine with a symbol or a slot machine, which is implemented as one of typical examples of a symbol combination gaming machine, a symbol combination game is played and a right relating to a special game state in which a player is advantageous is established. As a preferable means for doing so, various forms of variable display devices are adopted. As one of the display devices, which is generally referred to as a "design drum type", various types of identification for each color are provided on the outer circumference of a synthetic resin molded ring type or flat pulley type rotating body. , Such as numbers, alphabet letters,
Rotating symbol display bodies (also simply referred to as symbol drums), in which character marks of other figures are arranged in the required order, are tandemly set with a plurality (usually three left, middle, and right) as a set unit. . As the design drum, various types having different sizes (diameter and width), the number of frames of the design, etc. are selectively used in the game machines of the respective manufacturers.

As a conventional method and apparatus generally used for forming a pattern on such a pattern drum, that is, for painting a pattern, (a) a method and apparatus for winding and attaching a pattern seal, that is, a celluloid, etc. A pattern sticker, in which various patterns of various colors are printed and arranged based on offset printing, etc., on one side of the band-shaped base material, is the reference for the outer circumference of the synthetic resin molded flat pulley type ring body that is the base of the pattern drum. A method of winding and affixing based on the position (usually the installation position of the index),
The jig used for this. (b) Using a multicolor printing method and device by screen printing, that is, using a screen such as silk cloth or nylon cloth, sticking a paper pattern on it and extruding soft ink with a squeegee,
Based on the printing method in which ink is applied to the parts other than the stencil, one color is applied directly to the outer periphery of the ring body positioned and set on the rotating roller for each pattern part, and this is repeated for each color to cover all parts. There are methods for multicolor printing and equipment used for this, and they are adopted according to the respective painting work conditions. It is to be noted that it is preferable that the symbols on the symbol drum are colorful, and generally, two or more colors are used for each frame, and five or more colors are used for all the frames.

[0004]

As described above, in the conventional pattern painting method and device for the rotary symbol display (symbol drum), the quality, in any case,
There are many problems in terms of mass productivity and other aspects. That is, in the method and jig of the above item (a), the operator relies exclusively on the direct manual winding work, and in many cases of the work, a predetermined ring body is attached to a circular rotating tool such as a roller or a cylinder. Under the condition that the positioning is set, one pattern sticker with adhesiveness is wound and attached. In such an actual working situation, it is extremely troublesome and requires a considerable amount of skill, and moreover, many paintings cannot be made per working time, which is a bottleneck for mass production of design drums. In addition, the design sticker is likely to shift or wrinkle from the outer surface of the ring body, and if you discard it as a defective product, it will be a big loss, and even if you replace the sticker, it will take time and a new design seal It is pointed out that there is a drawback that the yield becomes worse due to the need for Furthermore, in the design drum with the same design sticker attached, each design may be displaced from the reference position (the index position) in the circumferential direction when compared to each other, even if they appear to be good products. It may cause unevenness or unevenness.

On the other hand, in the method and apparatus of the above item (b), the operator himself is in charge of operations such as positioning and removal of the ring body with respect to the rotating roller each time, and for the coloring book work, the color change by the printing machine is performed. The multi-color printing operation is performed and then terminated. In such work, it is necessary to wait a sufficient amount of time for the ink to dry after the completion of each color printing, and wait for the next color printing, which is a considerable time until the predetermined painting work for one ring body is completed. Will be applied.
For this reason, painting cannot be performed efficiently and in a short time, and it is extremely difficult to expect improvement in mass productivity of the design drum, and it cannot be expected. Looking at each of the design drums painted by the color-changing multicolor printing described above, defective products in which misalignment and color unevenness caused by defective printing occur in the different color parts of the various designs, and there are bad-looking designs Sometimes it became a drum, and there was a big problem in maintaining its quality.

As described above, in any of the above-described pattern painting methods and apparatuses, there is an inherent difficulty in improving the operating efficiency and the productivity, and the progressability in the overall work cannot be expected. Due to the frequent occurrence of defective products, the product cost of the pattern drum is relatively high. Actually, in these methods and devices, there is a limit to their operability, and it is not suitable when various designs are diverse or when the number of lots is large. It is said that.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks inherent in the above-mentioned prior art, and it is one of the preferable sticking means for a curved body or a circular body. Based on the thermal transfer method known as one, various patterns are efficiently and cleanly transferred over the entire outer circumference of the ring that is the basis of the rotary pattern display body, and a high-quality rotary pattern display with a clear and proper pattern is displayed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pattern painting method for a rotary pattern display body and its apparatus suitable for mass-producing the body at low cost.

The ring body R which is the basis of the design drum
Is a commonly used synthetic resin mold processing method,
As schematically shown in FIG. 3, it is formed in a flat pulley shape, and has a central flange-shaped boss portion 1 and four illustrated radial arm portions 2 having positioning holes 2a at 90-degree intervals.
A smooth rim portion 3 having a constant outer peripheral width is continuously provided. The outer peripheral surface of the rim portion 3 is used as a pattern painting surface, and an index 4 serving as a reference index position of the pattern is provided at a predetermined position on the inner peripheral surface thereof so as to project radially inward. The ring body R is formed of a relatively hard and transparent resin material (for example, polycarbonate), and has a boss portion 1 and an arm portion 2
Is displaced toward one opening surface side of the rim portion 3, and the index 4 is displaced toward the other opening surface side of the rim portion 3. As for the index 4, a light-shielding surface is formed when the design drum D that is a product by painting is implemented.

As shown in FIG. 4, the pattern film F is generally formed on one surface of a transparent film base material 5 made of a soft synthetic resin which is continuous and has a small stretchability (spreadability). A color printing machine (not shown) or the like provides a variety of pattern display portions 6 for one ring body R in the unit of one unit along the longitudinal direction (transfer direction) at predetermined intervals.
(For example, the back surface is releasably releasable at a constant interval that matches the entire length of the circumference of the ring body R to form a band-shaped surface area that matches the width of the painting surface of the ring body R and the total length of the circumference. A heat-welding adhesive surface 7 is formed on the back surface of each pattern display portion 6, that is, on the side opposite to the printing surface of the film base material 5.

In each of the pattern display portions 6 of this pattern film F, within the printing area of the predetermined band size, there are 8 types including a small size for detachment and a large size for hitting as shown in FIG. Various symbols 6a, 6a for 16 frames are arranged in a predetermined order and at intervals. And about the color etc., each pattern 6a, 6a,
For example, two or more colors of red, yellow, yellow-green, peach, blue, etc. are used, and all colors are printed with an ink (also called a luminescent ink) that can be suitably illuminated and illuminated by irradiation of ultraviolet rays. There is. However, only the winning design 6a may be printed with the luminescent ink. In addition, the surrounding base portion 6b excluding the respective patterns 6a, 6a is a normal ink of another single color in which all the patterns are excellently projected.
The pattern display section 6 is printed with (other than the luminescent ink), and the entire symbol display section 6 is a novel and high-grade symbol display surface of many colors.

As shown in FIG. 4, such a pattern film F can be handled as a roll unit which is wound around the core tube 8 by a predetermined diameter in a normal state. On the premise that a design drum as a painted product is used in plural units in a design variable display device described later, the design display unit 6 illustrated in FIG. 5 has designs 6a and 6a.
The left column, the middle column, and the right column are prepared by appropriately changing the type, arrangement order, and the like. And which pattern film F
Even in the above, positioning marks 9 for each symbol display portion 6 are provided at equal intervals. The mark 9 is, for example, a light-shielding one so that it can be suitably detected by the photoelectric sensor type detection means 26, 27 on the thermal transfer device M side, which will be described later, and each pattern is formed on each side edge of the film base material 5. It is attached to each required position corresponding to the start end and the end of the display unit 6.

The thermal transfer device M utilizes the feature that good painting can be easily performed on a curved surface, and one in the pattern film F for each of the ring bodies R described above.
The symbol display unit 6 in units of main units is thermally transferred. As its basic configuration, as schematically shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a transfer part 11 for a ring body set which is an object to be transferred, and a constant length feeding part 17 for a pattern film extending on both sides thereof are provided. , Both 11 and 17 are the rotational peripheral speed of the ring body R,
Based on the condition that the feeding (feeding) speed of the pattern film F is kept in synchronism with each other, the movable control is performed in synchronization with each other so that each ring body R can be painted every operation.

In the transfer section 11 of the thermal transfer apparatus M, the ring-shaped body R is detachably set at the shaft end, and the driving type setting roller 12 at the lower side in FIG. 1 and the driven type thermal transfer roller located above the driving type setting roller 12 are provided. Fifteen (also simply referred to as a heat and pressure roller) are arranged in parallel at a predetermined transfer interval. The set roller 12 serves as a positioning and setting means for the ring body R, and the engaging portion 1 for the arm portion 2 and the like is provided on the axial end surface side thereof.
3 is formed, and the insertion groove 14 for the index 4 is engraved in the axial direction of the outer circumference. On the other hand, the hot pressing roller 15
A cylindrical pressing mat 16 having appropriate elasticity and flexibility is tightly fitted on the outer periphery of the heater in a detachable and replaceable manner, and a heater (not shown)
The required temperature (150-200 ℃, which is suitable for the ink properties)
It is designed to be kept warm. The set roller 12
A chucking means for the ring body may be attached to this.

However, in the transfer section 11, the set roller 1
2 is set so that it can be started and stopped for each rotation starting from the condition that the center of the insertion groove 14 is aligned with the transfer reference position as a starting point (see FIGS. 1, 2 and 7). On the other hand, the heat and pressure roller 15 is supported by a switching movable body (not shown), and it is possible to switch between a transfer position aligned with the set roller 12 and a non-transfer position (standby position) which is separated and retracted above the transfer position. ing. Further, the position of the heat-pressing roller 15 is adjustable so that the transfer interval between the heat-pressing roller 15 and the set roller 12 can be finely adjusted so that the pressing mat 16 can be properly pressed against the outer periphery of the ring R from above the pattern film F. is there. Regarding the switching of the heat and pressure roller 15, on the premise that it can be operated by a push button, a pedal or the like, the detection conditions and the rotation angle of the detecting means 26, 27 on the side of the constant length feeding unit 17 for the film which will be described later. It is possible to automatically control the transfer operation based on conditions such as one-time transfer operation end condition based on time and time.

In the fixed length feeding section 17, the pattern film F
1 and FIG. 2, a driven type feeding roller 18 on the left side in which rolls can be set and fed out, and a drive used on the right side in FIGS. Type winding roller 21 is provided, and ring body R
Each of them is rotated at the same peripheral speed during operation. On the feeding roller 18 side, chuck means 19 for directly inserting and setting the core tube 8 of the roll-shaped pattern film F and guide holding roller 20 for appropriately press-contacting the outer periphery of the film F are attached. Further, on the winding roller 21 side, chuck means 23 for setting the winding core tube 22 for the film base material 5, a guide pressing roller 24 for preventing the film backward movement and the like are attached. Further, guide rollers 25, 25 for tension adjustment are arranged in a vertical relationship with the film F interposed therebetween while the film is being transferred, that is, in the front and rear portions of the transfer section 11.

Regarding the setting of the roll-shaped pattern film F to the constant length feeding section 17, the guide pressing rollers 20 and 24 are temporarily retracted, and the core tube 8 portion is fitted and inserted into the feeding roller 18. The chuck means 19 positions and holds it. Then, after the starting end of the film F is pulled out to the winding roller 21 side and appropriately set on the outer circumference of the winding core tube 22, the guide pressing rollers 20 and 24 are set to their original positions. In this state, the film extending at least between the guide rollers 25 and 25 is spread horizontally at a position appropriately floated from the outer circumference of the roller 12 so as not to disturb the attachment / detachment of the ring R to / from the set roller 12 of the transfer section 11. Then, the hot pressing roller 15 rolls the roller from above (see FIG. 1).

At a predetermined position in the fixed length feeding section 17,
Photoelectric sensor type first and second detection means 26, 27
Is installed. The detection means 26 and 27 are for directly detecting the marks 9 and 9 at the respective positions of the design film F to confirm the position of the most preceding design display portion 6, and are indicated by "arrows" in FIGS. , The first detecting means 26 is aligned with the transfer reference position of the set roller 12 (the position of the index 4 of the ring body R) to detect the starting end of the display portion 6, and the second detecting means 26 27 shows a case where 27 is aligned at a predetermined position on the left side of the drawing and is set to detect the end of the display unit 6. Then, based on the detection conditions of both the means 26 and 27, the design film F has a predetermined length from the start end of the design display unit 6 of the most preceding to the transfer reference position to the start end of the design display unit 6 of the next line. It is set to be fed and stopped in units.

The detection means may be only the first detection means 26, or the second detection means 27 may be installed at a predetermined position on the right side of the drawing, and the positions of both are adjustable. The detection condition is based on that an optical signal is converted into an electric signal at the time when the projected light from the light emitting unit is blocked by the mark 9 or when it is received by the light receiving unit immediately after being blocked. The detection state is set. Incidentally, the circled portions in FIG. 2 are driving means for the rollers 12 and 21.
(For example, stepping motors) 69 and 70 are shown.

As a mode of the pattern painting method of the present embodiment, the ring body R is attached / detached to / from the transfer section 11 of the thermal transfer apparatus M, that is, the ring body before painting and the ring body after painting (design drum) are attached. For removal, there are manual work by an operator in the case of a small number of lots and automatic work by machine operation in the case of a large number of lots. In either case, however, the ring body R aligns the index 4 with the insertion groove 14 and the arm 2 with the engaging portion 13 with the boss 1 and the arm 2 facing outward with respect to the set roller 12. The positioning / insertion is set in this state.

By the way, in the case of the mechanical work, as shown in FIG.
As schematically shown in FIG. 1, a loading / unloading exchange device C for the ring body is attached in association with a portion adjacent to the thermal transfer device M. In this apparatus C, a stock delivery unit 28 that stocks a large number of ring bodies R before painting in the same direction in advance and transports them in a timely manner in a pitch manner, and the ring bodies in this delivery unit 28 are taken out in the order of precedence, and the transfer is performed. An attaching / detaching exchanging section 29 for setting and removing the section 11 to and from the set roller 12, and a product conveying section 30 for carrying in the pattern drum D taken out by the attaching / detaching exchanging section 29 and transferring it in a timely manner in pitch, The transfer operation of the thermal transfer device M is controlled to be movable in synchronism with the transfer operation of the ring body and the pattern drum, and the operation including replacement is performed.

Next, an automatic pattern painting method performed by directly using the ring R, the pattern film F and the thermal transfer device M described above will be described.

In this method, in the painting by each transfer operation of the thermal transfer device M, the initial condition at the start is that the set roller 12 of the transfer portion 11 has the transfer reference position, for example, the insertion groove 14 above the vertical center line. It stands by at the position you set. Further, while the heat and pressure roller 15 is on standby at the non-transfer position, the pattern film F stretched and set in the constant length feeding unit 17 is stopped to be fed, and the leading end of the symbol display unit 6 at the forefront is a transfer reference. At a position, that is, at a position aligned with the center of the insertion groove 14 of the set roller 12 (FIG. 1,
2 and 7). Under this condition, for each of the ring bodies R set in the transfer unit 11, both units 11, 1
By the synchronous drive control of 7, it is possible to automatically paint a similar pattern.

As a basic mode of this painting method, as schematically shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (f), the steps of setting and designing the ring body with respect to the transfer portion 11 and the steps after the ring body is set. The process is divided into a transfer preparation setting process and a transfer operation process of the transfer unit 11 performed by the start of operation, and a film feeding process of the feeding unit 17 which is timed with the process, and based on a series of cycles including these processes. Painting is done once. The steps will be sequentially described below.

(Step of setting the ring body and pattern matching)
In this step, the ring body R is attached to the arm means 2 on the setting means 13 and 14 of the set roller 12 in the transfer section 11 described above.
Then, the positioning and insertion is set in a predetermined direction in which the index 4 and the index 4 are combined. As a result, the ring body R becomes the roller 12
And the central position of the index 4 at the transfer reference position with respect to the starting end of the preceding pattern display portion 6 of the pattern film F described above. It is aligned below (Fig. 6)
(a) and FIG. 7). If the worker himself / herself performs this work, the ring body R is gripped and set. On the other hand, in the case of the operation of the carry-in / out exchange device C described above, the attachment / detachment exchange portion 29 clamps one of the ring bodies R of the stock delivery portion 28, sets it on the roller 12 at the forward end position thereof, and then stands by for backward movement. It will be.

(Steps of transfer preparation setting and transfer operation) In this step, the transfer section 11 is set in the transfer state based on the start of operation after the ring body is set, and the transfer section 11 is operated in accordance with one painting operation. It will be. That is, the heat-pressing roller 15 is set at the transfer position, and the pressing mat 16 is pressed against the outer periphery of the ring body R from above the design film F so that the ring body R and the film F are properly positioned between the set roller 12. And the start end of the symbol display portion 6 is aligned with the outer peripheral reference position of the ring body R (see FIG. 6B). Under this condition, while the set roller 12 is driven and rotated by one rotation unit based on the transfer reference position, that is, the position of the insertion groove 14 and the index 4 of the ring body R, the hot press roller 15 is also synchronized. The mat is rotated 16
Then, the symbol display portion 6 is heated and pressed against the outer circumference of the ring body R. Regarding the start of the operation, for example, a push button switch operation condition by an operator or a detection time condition after the ring body is set is selected, and the entire thermal transfer device is operated under these conditions.

(Film Feeding Step) In this step, the constant length feeding section 17 is operated for a predetermined time in synchronization with the operation of the transfer section 11 based on the start of the operation described above. Will be. That is, the design film F is delivered from the delivery roller 18 by the drive rotation of the winding roller 21, and is fed in units of a predetermined length based on the starting end of the above-mentioned most preceding symbol display portion 6 (FIG. 6 ( c) and FIG.
(See (d)). In the constant film length feeding process, the rotation speed of the take-up roller 21 (film feeding speed) and the rotation speed of the ring body R (peripheral speed of the painting surface) are basically made equal to each other, and the microscopic When viewed from the perspective, the rotation speed of the ring body R is slightly smaller than the speed of the drawn design film F, but is higher than that. As a result, the pattern film F is fed while being properly stretched with respect to the transfer section 11, and the most preceding symbol display section 6 is well stretched and maintained over the entire length in the longitudinal direction thereof, and the ring body R is maintained. It is transferred to the outer circumference.

(Painting process) This process is carried out in the heat transfer process under the condition that the transfer operation process and the film length feeding process are synchronized with each other. In this process, the heat press roller 15 heats the film. The symbol display section 6
During the transfer, the adhesive surface 7 is melted and pressed and adhered to the outer periphery of the ring body R in a rotating state, and the film base material 5 is continuously continuous in the longitudinal direction as if the copy picture was just peeled off from the thin film. At the same time as being peeled off, it is clearly copied on the outer periphery of the ring body R (see FIGS. 6C and 6D). Then, when the rollers 12, 15 and the ring body R of the transfer unit 11 have completed one rotation, the one-time pattern painting on the ring body R is completed.

After the above-mentioned painting is completed, in the transfer portion 11, the set roller 12 is paused and waited at the transfer reference position with the insertion groove 14 above the vertical center line in the same manner as described above, and the heat and pressure roller 15 is not held. Waiting to return to the transfer position (Fig. 6
(See (e)). On the other hand, the fixed length feeding unit 17 is also operated for a while after that, and the used film base material 5 is wound up and the design film F is fed out. And each detecting means 2
When 6 and 27 detect the marks 9 and 9 on the next symbol display portion 6 at the most preceding position, the film feeding in a unit of a predetermined length of the time concerned is finished and temporarily stopped, and the start end of the symbol display portion 6 is changed. The set roller 12 is aligned above the transfer reference position and kept waiting (see FIG. 6 (f)). As a result, the entire process of designing the pattern and the operation of each part are finished.

After the pattern painting process is finished, the ring body of the set roller 12, that is, the commercialized design drum D is removed, and the next new ring body R is positioned and inserted into the set roller 12. Thereafter, similar to the above, based on the start of operation, the respective steps are sequentially performed in cooperation with each other to perform painting by the similar thermal transfer system. Regarding the removal of the pattern drum D and the setting operation of the ring body R, in the case of the above-described loading / unloading exchange device C, the attachment / detachment exchange section 29 clamps the pattern drum D at the forward end position with respect to the set roller 12 and removes it when retreating. , The product delivery section 30, while the stock delivery section 2
The next ring body R in 8 is clamped and set on the roller 12.

As described above, in the pattern painting method of the present embodiment, each pattern display portion 6 preprinted on the pattern film F is thermally transferred to the outer periphery of each ring body R for painting. Even with a wide variety of complicated patterns, proper copying can be performed accurately by each transfer operation, and the pattern drum D, which is one product, can be efficiently manufactured in a short time. When the symbol display surface on the outer periphery of each symbol drum D is viewed, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the index 4 is used as a reference position and the end of the display portion 6 is appropriately wrapped and the end is painted. The wrap r is a copy of the pattern display portion 6 while the entire pattern display portion 6 is suitably extended in the extended state of the pattern film F caused by the slight difference between the rotation speed of the ring body R and the film feeding speed as described above. It is due to being done. As a result, there is no gap at the start end and the end of the display unit 6, and there is no noticeable joint, so that a clean pattern surface is finished, and all the patterns 6a are accurately arranged at a predetermined angular interval and order under this condition. Has been done. Moreover, since the entire pattern surface has a variety of inks in a dried state, even if it is touched by fingers, the ink is not peeled off or dirty, and each pattern can be maintained clearly.

In the production of the pattern drums of the same size by the above-mentioned painting method, the ring body R shown in FIG.
In the case of painting the middle row or the right row for the left column of the symbol display portion 6 illustrated in FIG. 6, the corresponding pattern film F is replaced with the constant length feeding portion 17 of the thermal transfer device M. After being set, it is automatically transferred in the same way based on each of the above-mentioned steps to finish a beautiful pattern surface. According to this method, ring bodies of various sizes (diameter and width) can be suitably painted. It is also possible to transfer the pattern for each required angle range portion on the outer circumference of the ring body.

Further, a horizontal line 35a having one horizontal center and two oblique lines 35b, 35b intersecting with each other are set as a line for establishing a combination of effective symbols, that is, a line for achieving a jackpot, in accordance with each display window surface 34a, 34b. Then, based on the central one-frame effective symbol, three types of establishments are displayed as a whole. The perspective body 31
In the upper part of the, a holding lamp 37 that displays the number of valid holdings of safe balls detected by the winning prize 54, a display lamp 38 during the variable symbol display operation, and a display lamp 39 when the jackpot is established are arranged. Has been done. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the perspective display plate 33 and the lens body 36 are both formed in a forward convex arc shape when viewed from the side, and are aligned with each other in the front-rear direction.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, the accommodating box body 41 is formed in a square shape having an opening on the front surface, and is assembled in alignment with the back side of a holding frame body 44 which is positioned and fixed on the back surface of the game board P. There is. An accommodation chamber 42 for accommodating and setting each symbol display unit 45 is defined in the box body 41, and an escape port 43 for a connector is opened in a rear plate portion of the box body 41 corresponding to each unit 45. (See FIG. 12). The holding frame body 44 is formed in a rectangular frame shape with front and rear surfaces opened, and is directly fixed to the back surface of the game board P while being positioned on the back side of the aforementioned perspective body 31, and its front opening portion is It is adapted to be aligned with the lens body 36.

The three symbol display units 45 are
As shown in FIG. 12, a drive base 46 having a rectangular shape and a stepping motor 47 mounted on the center of the base 46 are provided.
It is composed of the aforementioned design drum D whose rotation is controlled by. Then, in the accommodation chamber 42 of the accommodation box 41, the symbol display units 45 are aligned and held at equal intervals with each other while positioning and holding the drive board 46. In this set state, in each unit 45, the outer peripheral front part of the design drum D is exposed from the front opening part of the holding frame body 44 and faces the back surface of the lens body 36, and is mounted on the rear end of the drive base 46. The connector 49 is exposed to the rear from the escape port 43, and the connecting wire 53 is connected to the electric control unit E.
It is possible to connect via.

In each of the symbol display units 45, in the drive base 46, one photoelectric sensor for detecting the rotation reference position of the symbol drum D at a predetermined rear position in addition to the motor 47 and the connector 49 on one side thereof. A detection tool 50 in the form of a sensor and a lamp 51 for emitting ultraviolet light for illuminating a design at a predetermined position on the front are arranged, and a necessary drive control circuit 52 for these electric parts is formed on the other side. There is. Further, the pattern drum D has a positioning hole 2 for each arm 2.
The boss part 1 of the main shaft 48 of the motor 47
It is aligned and connected to the end turntable 48a and is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. Then, during this rotation, each of the detection tools 50 is set to the detection (ON) state when the light is shielded by the index 4, and detects one rotation (360 degrees) of each motor 47 and the pattern drum D. Is set. However, each motor 47 rotates once for every N pulses.
It is set to make one rotation (360 degrees) and fluctuate by an angle of 22.5 degrees for one symbol in n pulse units (N / 16) to stop.
Further, each of the lamps 51 may have a size corresponding to the display window surfaces 34a and 34b, in which the left and right sides are long and the center is short.

For the symbols of the three rows of the pattern drums D, the respective indexes 4 are used as reference positions, and as shown in FIG. In contrast to the fact that they are arranged in random order at the intervals, in the right column, one symbol is changed to another type and arranged in a different manner. And the perspective body 31
As an example, a case where three types of six types are set as shown in FIG. 13 is shown as the “big combination symbol combination row” which is stopped and displayed on each of the lines 35a and 35b on the side.
By the way, the numbers “0 to 15” in FIG. 5 mean the value of the random number counter that determines the stop symbol of the symbol drum D in each row,
The position where the index 4 matches the detection tool 50 is set as a reference “0” value, and this counter value is reset every one rotation of the motor 47 and the pattern drum D.

Regarding the basic electric control system relating to the above-mentioned variable design display device I, as schematically shown in FIG.
The control unit of the electric control device E is mainly configured. That is, every time a start signal is generated by the switch 55 of the start winning device 54, when the start signal is input to the prize determination section 56, the random number setting section 57 causes the driving conditions of the stepping motors 47 in each row and the pattern drum D. Set the random number data (either out of reach, out of reach, jackpot) to determine the stop symbol. Based on the random number data, the motors 47 of the respective columns are sequentially driven under the set conditions (time and speed) in accordance with the respective pulse outputs sent from the motor controller 58, and the pattern drum D is rotationally changed. And
After that, when the motors 47 and the pattern drums D in each row are sequentially stopped, each counter unit 59 sets n pulses as a counter value for one symbol based on the stop position of the index 4 with respect to each detection tool 50, which is “0 to 0”. It is detected from the range of "15" and input to each symbol detection unit 60.

As a result, the respective pattern detecting sections 60 are adapted to the respective lines 35a, 3 on the side of the transparent body 31 based on the respective counter values.
The stop symbols of the symbol drums D in each row on 5b are detected and determined, and the detection signal is input to the winning determination unit 56. And finally, the winning combination determination section 56 individually or totally determines the combination state of the respective stop symbols based on the input order of the detection signals. As a result, each winning line 35
In the combination of stop symbols in each row on a and 35b, "big hit" when all rows have the same kind of match, "left out" when the same kind of left and right rows match, and "out of reach" when the middle row has different kinds of matches, and other than these Then, all are judged as “off”.
It should be noted that at the time of the start input, during the change of the pattern, and at the end, the effect sound from the speaker and the effect light from the lamp are respectively generated.

The basic symbol variation control relating to the variable symbol display device I configured as described above, that is, the rotation control of the stepping motor 47 and the symbol drum D in each column, etc. is summarized and set as follows. Has been done.

That is, when the power is turned on, the three rows of the pattern drums D start to change and after a set time, the preset "outgoing symbol" is determined as the symbol after the power is turned on. As a result, the symbol drums D in each row are detached on the respective lines 35a, 35b of the front perspective display plate 33, and the symbols are fixedly displayed.
Moreover, the position of the symbol origin before the start is confirmed by the position of the index 4 with respect to the detector 50 in each row. When the detection signal of the switch 55 is input to the prize determination section 56 of the electric control device E in response to the game ball entering the start prize device 54 during the pachinko game after this state, it is set by the random number setting part 57. The rotation variation conditions (variation time and speed) of the motors 47 and the pattern drums D in each row are determined based on another random number data (any one of deviation, deviation from reach, and jackpot).

The motor 47 and the pattern drum D in each row are
Assuming that the rotation is controlled under the rotation fluctuation condition set based on the random number data, the fluctuation is started with respect to the start input and the fluctuation is stopped with respect to the stop input. That is, the left row is first started with respect to the above-mentioned start input, and the middle row and the right row are sequentially started at a predetermined time difference, and the speed is changed while being temporarily increased. And during this change, after there is a symbol stop input corresponding to the random number data after the set time, after making a change in the pattern matching according to any one of "out, reach out, jackpot", first, The left column is decelerated and varied and then stopped after a predetermined time, and thereafter, the right column and the middle column are decelerated and stopped at predetermined time intervals.

In the changing process, in the electric control unit E, each counter section 59 converts the position of the index 4 with respect to the detector 50 in each row into a counter value "0 to 15" based on one n pulse pattern. The counter value is being counted, and the counter value is reset as a "0" point each time the two match. A sound effect A is generated at the time of starting input, and a sound effect B and a light effect a are generated from the start to the end of the fluctuation of each row drum.

Regarding the above-mentioned stop of symbol fluctuation, when the random number data is "displaced", each line of the perspective display plate 33 is premised on that the motor 47 and the symbol drum D of each row are subject to variable stop based on the set time. The symbols of different kinds of disagreement are stopped and displayed on 35a and 35b, respectively. Corresponding to this stop, based on the position of the index 4 with respect to the detection tool 50 in each row, each counter unit 59 displays the counter value "0.
One of "15" is detected and the data is transmitted to the symbol detection unit 60, and then the detection unit 60 detects the stopped symbol and transmits the information to the winning determination unit 56. And finally, in the winning determination unit 56, the random number data “displacement” at the time of start input and the detection data “displacement” from the symbol detection unit 60 are confirmed to be compared, and the combination of symbols displayed in a stopped state is determined. It is determined that it is “out”. At the time of "disengagement", the effect sound C and the effect light a are generated in association with the stop of each row pattern drum D.

Regarding the stop of the pattern fluctuation, when the random number data is "out of reach", the motor 47 and the pattern drum D in each row are set time including the condition partially changed from the above-mentioned "out of reach". On the premise that the variable display is stopped based on the above, on the respective lines 35a and 35b of the transparent display plate 33, the same type of symbols in the left column and the right column, and the symbols of different types in the middle column are stopped and displayed. Corresponding to this stop, count detection data is transmitted from each counter unit 59 based on the position of the index 4 with respect to the detection tool 50 of each row, and the symbol detection information is transmitted from each symbol detection unit 60 in the same manner as described above, and the winning determination unit 5
At 6, the random number data at the time of the start input and the symbol detection data are confirmed to be compared and the combination of the symbols that are stopped and displayed is determined to be "out of reach". At this "reach loss", the sound effect C and the effect light a when the left row drum D is stopped, and the sound effect D and the effect light b (reach sound and (Also called reach light) is generated.

Regarding the symbol fluctuation stop, when the random number data is "big hit", the motors 47 and the pattern drums D of each row are fluctuated and stopped based on the same set time as in the case of "reach loss" described above. On the premise, the perspective display plate 33
On the respective lines 35a, 35b of the above, symbols of the same kind in the left column, the right column and the middle column are stopped and displayed. Corresponding to this stop, count detection data is sent from each counter section 59 based on the position of the index 4 with respect to the detection tool 50 in each row, and symbol detection information is sent from each symbol detection section 60, and a start input is made in the winning determination section 56. It is determined that the combination of the random numbers data of the time and the symbol detection data, which are confirmed to be compared with each other and stopped and displayed, are “big hit”. This "big hit"
At times, the effect sounds C, D and the effect lights a, b are related to the stop of the left row drum D and the right row drum D as described above.
Is generated and the sound effect E is generated when the middle row drum D is stopped.
And effect light c (also called jackpot sound and jackpot light)
Is generated.

And in the symbol variation control of the above-mentioned variable symbol display device I, all the symbols 6 of the three-row symbol drum D
Since a is painted with the luminescent ink as described above, it is displayed well against the effect light. That is, as the effect light generated in association with the stop of each row drum D, the lamp 51 in each display unit 45 is turned on or blinked, while the stop pattern 6a of the design drum D in each row is inside thereof. The lamp 51 irradiates the lamp 51 from the above, and emits light suitably for ultraviolet rays. This contrasts with the pattern printed with normal ink that is often used from the past,
It is possible to present it to the player with a very clear light emission display,
It is possible to develop a clear and suitable symbol combination game in synergy with the high-grade symbol display function.

In the symbol variation control of the variable symbol display device I, any one of the lines 35a and 35b of the perspective display plate 33 has one of the combinations of symbols illustrated in FIG. When "big hit" is displayed, the pachinko machine establishes a special game state that is advantageous to the player based on this, and gives the electric winning device 61 an opening operation condition (see FIG. 9). And as this opening operation condition,
Based on the drive output sent from the electric control unit E,
As the electromagnetic solenoid 62 is energized and excited for a set time, the opening / closing member 63 is changed in operation and the winning area 64 is obtained.
Open up. As a result, many game balls easily enter the winning area 64, are detected by the count switch 65 and the V switch 66 as safe balls, and are discharged to the back side.
