As a result, the ball is shot toward the front of the game board 13 at a distance corresponding to the player's operation. In addition, when the operating handle 51 is not being operated by the player, the touch sensor The launch switch 51a and launch stop switch 51b are turned off.

[0027] The lower front part of the lower tray 50 is provided with a handle for discharging the balls stored in the lower tray 50 downward. The ball removal lever 52 is always biased to the right. By sliding it leftward against the bias, the bottom surface of the lower plate 50 is The bottom opening is opened and the balls fall naturally from the bottom opening. The operation of the bar 52 is usually performed by placing a box (a The above-mentioned "Senryo Box" is placed on the right side of the lower plate 50. An operating handle 51 is disposed as shown in FIG. 1, and an ashtray (not shown) is attached to the left of the lower tray 50. is.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 13 is provided with a base plate 60 cut into a substantially square shape when viewed from the front. In addition to numerous nails (not shown) and windmills (not shown) for guiding the ball, rails 61 and 62, general prizes, 63, the first winning port 64, the second winning port 640, the variable winning device 330, the through gate 67, The display unit 80 is assembled to the inner frame 12 (see FIG. 1). The base plate 60 is made of a light-transmitting resin material, and is attached to the rear side of the base plate 60 from the front side. The base plate 60 is formed so that the players can visually recognize various structures arranged on the back side of the base plate 60. The general winning port 63, the first winning port 64, the second winning port 640, the variable display unit 8 0 is disposed in a through hole formed in the base plate 60 by router processing, and is It is fixed from the surface side with tapping screws, etc.

[0029] The front central portion of the game board 13 is connected to the inner frame 12 through a window portion 14c (see FIG. 1) of the front frame 14. The structure of the game board 13 will be described below with reference to FIG. We will explain about this.

[0030] On the front of the game board 13, there is an outer rail 62 formed by bending a strip-shaped metal plate into a substantially arcuate shape. The outer rail 62 is provided with a metal strip on its inner side. The inner rail 61 and the outer rail 62 form a circular arc-shaped The front periphery of the board 13 is surrounded, and the front and rear are bounded by the game board 13 and the glass unit 16 (see FIG. 1). By surrounding the area, the front of the game board 13 is a game area where the game is played according to the movement of the ball. The play area is in front of the play board 13 and includes two rails 61 and 62. The area (where the prize winning slots and the like are located) is partitioned by the resin outer edge member 73 that connects the spaces. The area into which the launched ball flows.

[0031] The two rails 61 and 62 guide the balls launched from the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 4). The inner rail 61 is provided to guide the ball to the top of the game board 13. A return ball prevention member 68 is attached to the upper left corner of the game board 13, and the ball is guided to the upper part of the game board 13. This prevents the ball from returning back into the ball guide passage. A rubber band 69 is attached to the upper right part of the ball (upper right part of Fig. 2) at a position corresponding to the maximum flight part of the ball. The ball, which is launched with a certain amount of force or more, hits the return rubber 69 and the force is reduced. It bounces back towards the center.

[0032] In the lower left corner of the play area when viewed from the front (lower left corner of Figure 2), there are multiple LEDs and The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B each having a 7-segment display are provided. The pattern display devices 37A and 37B correspond to the respective controls performed by the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4). The display is mainly for displaying the game status of the pachinko machine 10. In this state, the first symbol display device 37A, 37B indicates whether the ball has entered the first winning hole 64 or the second winning hole 65. The system is configured to be used depending on whether a prize is won at the prize slot 640. When the ball enters the first winning hole 64, the first symbol display device 37A is activated, while When the ball enters the second winning hole 640, the first symbol display device 37B is activated. It is composed.

[0033] In addition, the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B use LEDs to indicate whether the pachinko machine 10 is in a special probability state or not. The lighting status indicates whether the time is reduced or normal, and whether the time is fluctuating. It shows whether the stopped pattern corresponds to a special jackpot or a normal jackpot. The lighting status indicates whether the pattern is a reserved ball or not, and the lighting status indicates the number of reserved balls. The segment display device displays the number of rounds during the jackpot and any errors. The ED is configured so that each LED emits a different color (e.g., red, green, blue). By combining different light colors, it is possible to indicate various game states of the pachinko machine 10 using a small number of LEDs. This can be done.

[0034] In addition, in this pachinko machine 10, the first winning slot 64 and the second winning slot 640 have won. The lottery is held based on the trigger. The pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the lottery is a jackpot. A win / loss determination (jackpot lottery) will be made, and if a win is determined, the type of jackpot will be The types of jackpots that are judged here are 15R jackpot, 4R jackpot, and so on. The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B are equipped with a 15R regular jackpot. Not only will the stopping pattern after the change indicate whether the lottery result is a jackpot or not, In the case of a jackpot, a pattern corresponding to the type of jackpot is displayed.

[0035] Here, "15R jackpot" refers to a jackpot with a maximum of 15 rounds. A "4R jackpot" is a jackpot that transitions to a high probability state in the maximum rally. This is a jackpot where the number of rounds changes to a high probability state after a jackpot of four rounds. In addition, the "15R normal jackpot" is a jackpot with a maximum of 15 rounds, after which The game will transition to a low probability state and will remain in a time-saving state for a certain number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuations). This refers to a big hit that takes place in a positive manner.

[0036] In addition, the "high probability state" refers to a state in which the probability of a subsequent jackpot is increased as an added value after the jackpot has ended. This refers to the time when the probability is fluctuating (during the probability change), in other words, the special game state. In this embodiment, the high probability state (high probability state) is a game state in which the player is likely to transition to the high probability state. A game state in which the probability of hitting the second symbol described above increases and the ball is more likely to enter the second winning hole 640. "Low probability state" refers to the time when the probability of winning is not in a high probability state, i.e. This refers to a state in which the probability of winning is lower than during the "high probability state". (Time-saving) means that the probability of winning is normal and the probability of winning remains the same. This is a game state in which only the probability of winning the 2nd symbol increases and the ball is more likely to enter the 2nd winning hole 640. On the other hand, the normal state of the pachinko machine 10 refers to a state where the game is not in a special mode or a time-saving mode ( Neither the probability of winning the jackpot nor the probability of winning the second symbol has increased.

[0037] During the special rate and time-saving period, not only does the probability of hitting the second symbol increase, but the second winning slot 64 The time that the electric device 640a associated with 0 is opened has also been changed, and it will be opened for a longer time than usual. When the electric role 640a is in an open state, the electric role Compared to when the object 640a is in a closed state (closed state), the ball is Therefore, during the probability change or time reduction, the ball is likely to enter the second winning hole 640. This will increase the number of times the jackpot lottery will be held.

[0038] In addition, during the probability change or time reduction, the opening of the electric device 640a associated with the second winning port 640 Instead of changing the time, or in addition to changing the opening time, Alternatively, the number of times the electric role 640a opens may be increased from the normal number. In addition, during the probability of winning or the time limit, the probability of winning the second symbol does not change, and the second winning slot 640 The time that the electric device 640a associated with the At least one of the number of times to open may be changed. In addition, the time when the electric device 640a associated with the second winning port 640 is opened and the number of times a winning The number of times the electric device 640a is opened is not increased, but only the probability of winning the second symbol is increased compared to normal. The present invention may be modified so that the image is uploaded.

[0039] In the play area, 5 to 15 balls are paid out as prize balls when the ball hits the play area. A plurality of general winning slots 63 are provided. In addition, a variable display device is provided in the center of the game area. The variable display unit 80 is provided with a first winning port 64 and The first symbol display device 37A, 37B is triggered by a winning (initial winning) in the second winning port 640. The LCD display (hereinafter referred to as the "LCD display") displays the third symbol while synchronizing with the display of the third symbol. The third pattern display device 81, which is composed of a ball of the through gate 67, The second symbol display device (Fig. The variable display unit 80 is also provided with a third pattern display device. A center frame 86 is disposed so as to surround the outer periphery of 81 .

[0040] The third pattern display device 81 is composed of a large 9-inch liquid crystal display. The display control device 114 (see FIG. 4) controls the display contents, so that, for example, For example, three rows of symbols are displayed: top, middle, and bottom. Each row of symbols is made up of multiple symbols (third symbols). These third symbols are displayed on the third symbol display device 81 by scrolling horizontally for each symbol row. The third symbol is variably displayed on the display screen. The display of the game state according to the control of the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4) is the first symbol display. The display of the first pattern display device 37A, 37B is performed by the first pattern display device 37A, 37B. Instead of a display device, a reel or the like may be used. The third pattern display device 81 may be configured in this manner.

[0041] The second symbol display device displays a display symbol (second symbol (see FIG. A variable display that alternates between a "○" pattern and an "×" pattern for a specified period of time. In the pachinko machine 10, when the ball passes through the through gate 67, If the result of the lottery is a win, the second symbol display device In the setting, the "○" symbol is displayed after the second symbol changes. If the result is a miss, the second symbol display device displays the "X" symbol after the third symbol is displayed. The pattern is displayed frozen.

[0042] In the pachinko machine 10, the variable display in the second symbol display device is a predetermined symbol (in this embodiment, When the ball stops on the "○" pattern, the electric device 640a attached to the second winning slot 640 is configured to be in an activated state (opened) for a predetermined period of time.

[0043] The time it takes for the second symbol to change is longer during a special or special bonus than during a normal bonus. The short and medium are set to be shorter. This means that during the special and time-saving modes, Since the varying display is performed in a short time, more winning draws can be held than usual. Therefore, the chances of winning in the winning lottery will increase, so the electric role of the second winning slot 640 This allows the player to have more opportunities to open the item 640a. During the time-saving period, the ball can be made more likely to enter the second winning port 640.

[0044] In addition, during the probability of winning or the time limit, the electric charge for one win that increases the probability of winning By increasing the opening time or number of times of the 640a, or other methods, If the ball is in a state where it is easy for the ball to enter the second winning hole 640 during the time reduction, the second pattern will change. The time required for display may be constant regardless of the game state. If the time required for the bonus is set shorter during the bonus period or the time-saving period than during normal play, The probability may be constant regardless of the game state, or the electric device for one win may be set to The opening time and number of openings of 640a may be constant regardless of the gaming state.

[0045] The through gate 67 is attached to the game board 13 in the left and right areas of the variable display unit 80. The ball is detected and a part of the ball shot to the game board 13 can pass through the game board. When the ball passes through the 67th symbol, a drawing for the second symbol is held. The display will display the changing pattern, and if the result of the lottery is a winning one, the stopping pattern of the changing display will If the winning lottery result is a miss, the stop symbol will be displayed as a floating symbol. and an "X" symbol will be displayed.

[0046] The number of times the ball passes through the through gate 67 is reserved up to a maximum of four times in total, and the number of reserved balls increases. The first symbol display device 37A, 37B is displayed and the second symbol reserved lamp ( The second symbol reservation lamp is provided with four lamps, the maximum number of reserved symbols. They are arranged symmetrically below the third pattern display device 81.

[0047] In addition, as in this embodiment, the variable display of the second symbol is performed by using a plurality of second symbol display devices. In addition to switching the lamp on and off, the first pattern display device 37A, 37B and a part of the third symbol display device 81 may be used. The lighting of the symbol reservation lamp may be performed by a part of the third symbol display device 81. The maximum number of reserved balls for the passage of the Rugate 67 ball is not limited to four, but may be three or more. The number of times may be set to 5 or more (for example, 8 times). The number of the assembled parts is not limited to two, and may be, for example, one. The mounting position of the gate 67 is not limited to the left or right of the variable display unit 80. For example, the first pattern display device 37A may be located below the variable display device unit 80. Since the number of reserved balls is indicated by 37B, the second reserved symbol lamp is not lit. It may also be possible to use the

[0048] A first winning hole 64 into which a ball can win is provided below the variable display unit 80. When a ball enters the first winning hole 64, the first winning hole slot provided on the back side of the game board 13 is opened. A switch (not shown) is turned on, and the first winning port switch is turned on to control the main control device. The jackpot is drawn at 110 (see Figure 4), and the display according to the result is the first symbol table. This is shown by display device 37A.

[0049] On the other hand, a second winning hole 640 into which a ball can win is disposed below the first winning hole 64 as viewed from the front. When a ball enters the second winning hole 640, the second winning hole 640 is opened. A prize port switch (not shown) is turned on, and the main control is started due to the second prize port switch being turned on. A lottery for a big win is conducted by the control device 110 (see FIG. 4), and a display according to the lottery result is displayed on the first screen. Shown on the pattern display device 37B.

[0050] In addition, the first winning hole 64 and the second winning hole 640 each give out five balls when a ball enters the hole. This is also one of the winning holes from which prize balls are paid out. The number of winning balls to be paid out when a ball enters the first winning slot 64 and the number of winning balls to be paid out when a ball enters the second winning slot 640 The number of winning balls paid out when the ball enters the first winning hole 64 is the same as the number of winning balls paid out when the ball enters the first winning hole 64. The number of winning balls paid out when the ball enters the second winning port 640 and the number of winning balls paid out when the ball enters the second winning port 640. For example, the number of winning balls paid out when a ball enters the first winning hole 64 is set to three. However, even if the number of winning balls paid out when a ball enters the second winning port 640 is set to 5, good.

[0051] The second winning slot 640 is provided with an electric device 640a. The electric device 640a is normally in a closed state (reduced state), and the ball On the other hand, the ball entering the through gate 67 is in a difficult state. As a result of the change in the second symbol displayed when the coin passes through, the second symbol display device displays the "○" symbol. When the electric device 640a is displayed as "0", the electric device 640a is opened (expanded), and the ball enters the second winning slot 6 This makes it easier to get into the 40s.

[0052] As mentioned above, during the special and time-limited modes, the probability of hitting the second symbol is higher than during normal modes. In addition, the time it takes for the second pattern to change is short, so the second pattern will change to "○". The pattern becomes easier to display, and the number of times that the electric role 640a is in the open state (expanded state) increases. In addition, during the probability change and time reduction, the time during which the electric device 640a is opened is longer than during normal times. Therefore, during the probability change and time reduction, the ball enters the second winning hole 640 more than during normal times. It can create an environment where it is easy to receive rewards.

[0053] Here, when the ball enters the first winning hole 64 and when the ball enters the second winning hole 640, The probability of winning the jackpot is the same whether you are in a low probability state or a high probability state. However, However, if a jackpot is hit, the type of jackpot selected will be a 15R jackpot. The probability of winning is higher when the ball enters the second winning slot 640 than when the ball enters the first winning slot 64. On the other hand, the first winning hole 64 is set higher than the second winning hole 640. There are no motorized devices, so the balls are always ready to win.

[0054] Therefore, during normal play, when the electric device associated with the second winning port 640 is in a closed state, Since there are many combinations and it is difficult to win at the second winning slot 640, we head to the first winning slot 64 which does not have an electric device. Then, the ball is shot so that it passes to the left of the variable display unit 80 (so-called "left shot"). ), by winning the first winning slot 64, you will have more chances to win the jackpot lottery, and you will win the jackpot. It will be more advantageous for the player to aim for this.

[0055] On the other hand, during the probability change or time reduction, by passing the ball through the through gate 67, the second winning port 64 The electric device 640a associated with the number 0 is likely to be in an open state, making it easier to win the second winning slot 640. Since the ball is in the non-movable state, it passes to the right of the variable display device 80 toward the second winning hole 640. The ball is shot in the direction of the arrow (so-called "right shot"), and the ball passes through the through gate 67, opening the electric device. The aim is to win the 15R jackpot by winning the second winning slot 640. It is more advantageous for the player to do so.

[0056] In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, the structure of the game board 13 is symmetrical. Therefore, you can aim for the first winning slot 64 by "right hand" or the second winning slot 640 by "left hand". Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment can also determine the game state (confirmation Depending on whether the game is in a special mode, time-saving mode, or normal mode, the player is given the option to shoot the ball. It is not necessary to change the way of hitting the ball between "left-handed" and "right-handed". This eliminates the need to change the

[0057] A variable winning device 330 (see FIG. 11) is provided below the first winning port 64. A specific winning hole 65a is provided in the approximate center portion. The jackpot lottery held due to a winning entry to the winning entry slot 64 or the second winning entry slot 640 will be the jackpot. After a certain time (variable time) has elapsed, the first symbol is displayed to become the jackpot symbol. The device 37A or the first symbol display device 37B is lit up, and the stop corresponding to the jackpot is displayed. The stop symbol is displayed on the third symbol display device 81 to indicate the occurrence of a big win. The game state transitions to a special game state (jackpot) where it is easier to win. The specific winning port 65a, which is normally closed, is closed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). , or until 10 balls win).

[0058] This specific winning port 65a is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed, and after the closure, the specific winning port 65a is The fixed prize winning hole 65a is opened for a predetermined time. The opening and closing operation of the specific prize winning hole 65a is, at most, The opening and closing action can be repeated up to 15 times (15 rounds). is a form of special game state that is advantageous to the player, and the player is provided with a gaming value ( As a reward for the skill value, a larger number of prize balls than usual are paid out.

[0059] The special game state is not limited to the above-mentioned form. A large opening that can be opened and closed separately is provided in the game area, and the large opening is provided in the first symbol display device 37A, 37B. When the LED corresponding to the winning is lit, the specific winning port 65a is opened for a predetermined time. When the ball enters the specific winning hole 65a while the specific winning hole 65a is open, the specific A game state in which a large opening provided separately from the winning opening 65a is opened a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time is specified. It may be formed as a separate game state. Also, the specific winning hole 65a is limited to one. Instead, one or more than two (for example, three) may be arranged, and the arrangement position may be The display may be changed to any other display other than the lower right side of the first winning opening 64 or the lower left side of the first winning opening 64. It may be located to the left of the mounting unit 80.

[0069] Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the penis machine 10. FIG.

[0070] The main control device 110 is equipped with an MPU 201 as a one-chip microcomputer that is a calculation device. The MPU 201 stores various control programs that are executed by the MPU 201. A ROM 202 that stores the control program and fixed value data. RAM 203, which is a memory for temporarily storing various data when the RAM is executed. In addition, various circuits such as interrupt circuits, timer circuits, and data transmission / reception circuits are built in. In the main control device 110, the MPU 201 controls the big win lottery and the first symbol display device 3. 7A, 37B and the setting of the display in the third pattern display device 81, the second pattern display device It executes the main processing of the pachinko machine 10, such as drawing the display results.

[0071] In addition, the sub-controllers such as the dispensing control device 111 and the voice lamp control device 113 are operated. In order to instruct the operation, various command data is sent from the main control device 110 to the sub-control device. Such commands are transmitted by the receiving circuit from the main control unit 110 to the sub-control unit. It is sent in only one direction:

[0072] The RAM 203 contains various areas, counters, flags, and the internal registers of the MPU 201. The contents of the program and the return address of the control program executed by the MPU 201 are stored in the The tack area and the work area ( The RAM 203 has a work area and a write area. Even if the power supply is turned off, the power supply 115 supplies a backup voltage to maintain data (backup). All data stored in the RAM 203 is backed up. do.

[0073] When the power supply is cut off due to a power outage or other reason, The stack pointer (for example, 1000 MHz or 1000 MHz) and the values ​​of each register are stored in the RAM 203. When the power is turned on (including when the power is turned on after a power outage is resolved, the same applies below), the information stored in the RAM 203 Based on the information, the state of the pachinko machine 10 is restored to the state before the power was cut off. The writing is performed by the main process (not shown) when the power is turned off, and is written to the RAM 203. The values ​​written in the memory are restored during the startup process (not shown) when the power is turned on.

[0160] The right disk cam 344R has a detection hole 344eR that is at an angle of 60° with the detection hole 344eL. The only difference is that it is located in the same position as the left disc cam 344L. It is composed of the following shapes.

[0161] The central shaft portion 344a has an inner periphery that is engaged with both ends of the cylindrical member 343a (see FIG. 19). The outer periphery of the shaft is fitted into the shaft support hole 341b (see FIG. 18). That is, the disk cam 344 is rotatably supported in the support hole 341b.

[0162] The circular rib 344b is provided to rotate the motor when the disk cam 344 is supported by the support hole 341b. The motor housing portion 341a (see FIG. 18) is provided with a protruding portion at a position where it can abut on the left and right walls of the motor housing portion 341a. As a result, the disc cam 344 can be prevented from becoming misaligned.

[0163] In the first initial state, the engagement rib 344c is located at a position where the detection hole 344eL is disposed. At a position shifted 80° in the backward rotation direction (clockwise in Figure 20(a)), it is extended radially outward.

[0164] In the first initial state of the drive unit 340, the connecting pin 344d is It is disposed at a position where the distance from the shaft portion 311e of the device 310 is the longest (see FIG. 22). , on the opposite side of the shaft portion 311e of the tilting device 310 in the first state with respect to the central shaft portion 344a. A connecting pin 344d is provided.

[0165] The release member 346 and the rotary claw member 347 will be described with reference to FIG. The removal member 346 and the rotary claw member 347 are arranged in a pair on the left and right, and their configurations are the same on the left and right. So, only one of them will be explained.

[0166] 21(a) and 21(b) are front views of the release member 346 and the rotary claw member 347. In FIG. 21(a), the rotating claw member 347 is a second spring with respect to the release member 346. FIG. 21(b) shows the large angle state where the spring SP2 has rotated to the end position of the biasing direction. The rotating claw member 347 is moved to the terminal position against the biasing force of the second spring SP2 with respect to the removal member 346. 4 shows a small angle state in which the lens has been rotated to the small angle position.

[0167] The state in which the release member 346 rotates by contacting the disk cam 344 is determined by the angle In a state between the large angle state and the small angle state (when the protruding pin 346b is disposed at the middle position of the guide slot 347b), (see FIG. 35).

[0168] As shown in FIG. 21(a) and FIG. 21(b), the release member 346 is a substantially rectangular plate member. The shaft portion 341c (see FIG. 18) is supported by a shaft support hole 346a. A protruding pin 346b is provided in a circular arc shape centered on the central axis of the 346a and protrudes in the plate thickness direction. The end of the second spring SP2 is inserted through a through hole 346c, and the maximum diameter of the shaft support hole 346a is and an engagement portion 346d configured as a protruding portion.

[0171] In this embodiment, in the large angle state shown in FIG. 21(a), the release member 346 is in the rotating claw portion The member 347 is disposed at the end position in the backward rotation direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 21(a)). Therefore, when a load is applied to the engagement portion 346d in the downward direction in the large angle state, the engagement portion 346d is released. The member 346 and the rotary claw member 347 rotate together in the backward direction, while in the large angle state. When a load is applied to the engagement portion 346d in the upward direction, the engagement portion 346d is rotated to the angle shown in FIG. Until the small state is reached, only the release member 346 is rotated to maintain the position of the rotary claw member 347. This can be done.

[0172] Next, an example of the operation of the operation device will be described. First, referring to Figs. 22 to 24, When the tilting device 310 is in the first state, the player performs a push operation. In the following description of the operation example, in order to facilitate understanding, In addition, the illustration of the lid 312 is simplified.

[0173] 22 to 24 are diagrams showing the operation device 300 taken along the line XXII-XXII in FIG. 6(a). 22 is a cross-sectional view of the tilting device 310. Note that FIG. 22 illustrates a state in which the tilting device 310 is in the first state. In FIG. 23, the player pushes the tilting device 310 to the end position from the state shown in FIG. 23. In FIG. 24, the tilting device 310 is restored from the state of FIG. 23 to the first state. The state after the return operation is shown. Also, in FIG. 22 to FIG. 24, the tilting device 310 An example of a player's hand performing a rapid-fire operation is shown.

[0174] As shown in FIG. 22, the tilting device 310 is rotated in the backward direction (as shown in FIG. 22) by a torsion spring 315. At the same time, the bottom plate portion 311a is subjected to a biasing force of the hook portion 347d of the rotary claw member 347. As a result, the tilting device 310 is maintained in the first state. In the first state, a biasing force in the backward rotation direction (clockwise in FIG. 22) always acts on the tilting device 310. is.

[0175] In the state shown in FIG. 22, the left detection piece 311gL is in the detection groove of the left detection sensor 324L. On the other hand, the right detection piece 311gR is inserted into the right detection sensor 32 It is placed in front of the detection groove of 4R (OFF state, see Figure 11).

[0176] As shown in FIG. 23, when the player pushes in the tilt device 310, the tilt device 31 0 rotates forward (counterclockwise in Figure 23) by approximately 3°. In this state, the left detection piece 3 11gL is inserted into the detection groove of the left detection sensor 324L (ON state), and similarly, The side detection piece 311gR is inserted into the detection groove of the right-side detection sensor 324R (ON state).

[0177] Therefore, the change in the detection state of the left detection sensor 324L and the right detection sensor 324R is determined. By this, it is determined that the tilt device 310 has been pushed in from the first state by the player. It is possible.

[0178] Here, when the tilting device 310 is repeatedly operated, the state shown in FIG. 22 and the state shown in FIG. However, depending on the time interval between successive hits by the player, the torsion spring 31 The tilting device 310 may not be able to return to its original position in time, and the pushing operation may be performed at an intermediate position. This may cause the player to feel uncomfortable.

[0179] Conventionally, this could be addressed by increasing the spring constant of the torsion spring 315. In this embodiment, when the spring constant of the torsion spring 315 is increased, the force of the torsion spring 315 is resisted. Increasing the driving force of the drive motor 342 (see FIG. 18) that pushes down the tilt device 310 This requires a larger drive motor 342. There were problems with the height increase and the inability to save space.

[0180] In contrast, in this embodiment, when the tilting device 310 is in a pressed-in state, the tilting A voice that can be produced by vibration is provided at a position facing the protruding protrusion 311j of the downfall device 310. A coil motor 352 is provided.

[0181] As shown in FIG. 24, the voice coil motor 352 is extended from the state shown in FIG. By driving the torsion spring 315 in the opposite direction, the tilting device 31 can be moved without increasing the spring constant of the torsion spring 315. The return to 0 operation can be performed quickly.

[0182] When the tilt device 310 is pushed in, the voice coil motor 352 is always driven. In this case, for example, when the player presses and holds the tilt device 310, the voice coil motor 352 will be driven, which will cause unnecessary stress to the player, and the player will feel uncomfortable. There is a risk of remembering.

[0183] In contrast, in this embodiment, when the left side detection sensor 324L is in the ON state, The number of times the right detection sensor 324R switches between the ON state and the OFF state is calculated, and the number When the value of the voice coil motor 352 is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the player can perform a continuous tapping operation by driving the voice coil motor 352. This allows the load for returning the tilting device 310 to its original position to be increased only when the tilting device 310 is in a tilted position. The player can operate the tilt device 310 comfortably.

[0184] Next, referring to FIG. 25 to FIG. 30, the tilting device 310 moves up and down from the first state. A case where a movement (a tilting movement) is started (first movement mode) will be described. XXII-XXII is a cross-sectional view of the operating device 300 taken along line XXII-XXII in FIG.

[0185] In addition, FIG. 25 illustrates a state in which the tilting device 310 is in the first state, and FIG. 26 illustrates a state in which the tilting device 310 is in the first state. When the disk cam 344 rotates forward by a predetermined amount from the state shown in FIG. 27 shows a state where the attitude has been changed. In FIG. 27, the disk cam 344 is rotated from the state shown in FIG. 28 shows a state in which the rotating claw member 347 has rotated forward by a certain amount and returned to its original position. The state in which the tilting device 310 rotates back and forth is shown. In FIG. 29, the tilting device 310 moves from the state shown in FIG. 29. In FIG. 30, the user pushes the tilting device 310 to the end position. When the disk cam 344 rotates forward by a predetermined amount from the state in which the engagement rib 34 In the second initial state, the second protruding portion 344c3 of the release member 346 abuts against the engaging portion 346d of the release member 346. 28 shows the state where the tilting device 3 in the state shown in FIG. 29, the position of the tilting device 310 is shown in phantom lines. An example of a technician's hand is shown in phantom.

[0186] As shown in FIG. 25, when the tilting device 310 is in the first state, the cylindrical member 31 of the lid 312 The upper end (prism portion) of the LED device 341f is accommodated inside 2c. The amount of light irradiated in the radial direction of the cylindrical member 312c is restricted by the thickness of the cylindrical member 312c. On the other hand, the amount of light irradiated in the axial direction can be secured to be large. The cylindrical member 312c serves as a rib for improving the strength of the cover 312 and is also effective for reducing the weight of the tilting device 310. In one state, the light irradiation intensity of the LED device 341f can be adjusted. do.

[0187] As shown in FIG. 26, the tilting device 310 is in the first state, and the driving device 340 is in the first initial state. From the initial state shown in FIG. 25, the disk cam 344 is rotated forward (counterclockwise in FIG. 26). When the disk cam 344 is rotated in the forward direction, the first protruding portion 344c1 of the disk cam 344 contacts the engagement portion of the release member 346. By pushing down 346d, the release member 346 rotates in the backward direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 26). , and the rotation claw member 347 is disengaged from the bottom plate portion 311a of the tilting device 310. Rotate backwards until

[0188] The change in the position of the release member 346 is caused by the first retraction portion 344c2 of the engagement rib 344c and the engagement portion 34 6d and the disk cam 344 rotates until they face each other. The tilting device 310 rises due to the biasing force of the torsion spring 315 (rotates clockwise in FIG. 26).

[0189] At this time, in the state shown in FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, the shaft portion 311c of the tilting device 310 is One end position of the guide hole 345b of the member 345 (the end on the side farther from the rotation axis of the disc cam 344) The tilting device 310 is disposed at the end position, and the upward movement of the tilting device 310 is restricted by the arm member 345. Therefore, the upward movement of the tilting device 310 corresponds to the rotation angle of the disc cam 344. It becomes.

[0190] As shown in FIG. 27, the disk cam 344 rotates in the forward direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 27). When the first retraction portion 344c2 of the disk cam 344 passes through the engagement portion 346d of the release member 346, The release member 346 and the rotary claw member 347 are rotated forward by the biasing force of the first spring SP1. 27) so that the rotating claw member 347 can be engaged with the tilting device 310. 25. At this time, the gap between the release member 346 and the rotary claw member 347 The angle of the second spring SP2 (the upper angle in FIG. 27) is increased. Due to the action of the biasing force, the release member 346 and the rotary claw member 347 are in the state shown in FIG. The rotation continues while maintaining the maximum angle (maximum).

[0191] In this state, the cover 312 is retracted above the LED device 341f, and the protective lens is The area of ​​the tilting device 311i that is visible from the player's viewpoint when the tilting device 311i is in the first state is Since this value is increased compared to 0, the light of the LED device 341f is directed in the front direction (toward the player). Therefore, by changing the position of the tilt device 310, the LED device 3 The direction of the light emitted from 41f can be changed, improving the lighting effect. It is possible.

[0192] In this state, the right detection sensor 353R of the protective cover device 350 is turned on. , the starting point of the up and down reciprocating motion can be detected.

[0193] As shown in FIG. 28, the disk cam 344 is rotated forward (in FIG. 28 counterclockwise), and then the disk cam 344 is rotated backwards (FIG. 2 8 clockwise) is repeated to obtain an angle D1 The tilt device 310 can be repeatedly moved up and down within the range of 100 mm to 150 mm. The appearance of the tilting device 310 relative to the operating device 300 can be changed. This can increase the attention of players.

[0194] In addition, the tilt device 310 repeatedly moves up and down within the range of angle D1. Therefore, the area of ​​the portion of the protective lens member 313 that protrudes upward from the upper frame member 331 changes. Therefore, only part of the light emitted from the LED device 341f can be seen through the protective lens member 313. The amount of light that can be received can be changed in response to the operation of the tilt device 310. The brightness of the falling device 310 can be changed, and the player's attention to the operation device 300 can be adjusted. The visibility can be improved.

[0195] In the state shown in FIG. 28, the spherical shell portion 313a of the lens member 313 is 28. The LED device 341f is disposed in front of the LED device 341f (left side in FIG. 28). The irradiation range of the light source is expanded not only in the forward / backward and upward / downward directions, but also in the left / right direction (perpendicular to the paper surface in Figure 28). It can be done.

[0196] According to this embodiment, as described above, when the tilting device 310 is placed in the first state, The light from the LED device 341f travels upward, and the illumination range is limited to the cylindrical member 312c. In response to this, the tilting device 310 was moved upward from the first state. When the player operates the LED device 341f, the light is also emitted in the direction toward the player (front direction). The illumination range is expanded by the lens member 313.

[0197] That is, according to this embodiment, the light irradiation direction is changed in accordance with the change in the attitude of the tilting device 310. This not only changes the light intensity but also changes the range of light irradiation. , the attention of the tilting device 310 can be increased.

[0198] As shown in FIG. 29, in the state in which the tilting device 310 in FIG. 28 is moving up and down, The user can push and operate the tilting device 310. In the state shown in FIG. The load applied from the arm member 345 to the tilting device 310 is in the direction of lowering the tilting device 310. (Even if the arm member 345 moves in the upward direction, the shaft portion 311c does not move upward.) (It simply moves through guide hole 345b of arm member 345, and no load is generated.)

[0199] Therefore, when the player pushes in the tilting device 310 in the state shown in FIG. 18. In order to prevent the load caused by the driving force of the driving motor 342 (see FIG. 18) from being applied to the At this time, the player is only subjected to the load of the torsion spring 315. This provides a large impact to the player when the player pushes in the tilting device 310. Since the occurrence of a burden on the player is suppressed, the player can comfortably operate the operation device 300. This can be done.

[0200] As shown in FIG. 29, when the tilting device 310 is pushed from the state shown in FIG. 28 to the end of its pushing operation, During this process, the bottom plate portion 311a of the tilting device 310 engages with the hook portion 347d of the rotating claw member 347. By pushing forward, the rotary claw member 347 rotates in the backward direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 29), Then, the tilting device 310 is pushed in, so that the bottom plate portion 311a is in contact with the hook portion 347d. When the rotating claw member 347 passes the position, it returns to a position where it can engage with the tilting device 310 (in the forward rotation direction). Therefore, the tilting device 310 is restricted from moving upward by the rotating claw member 347. .

[0201] Therefore, when the player moves the tilt device 310 up and down as shown in FIG. If the player releases the button after pressing the button 0, the tilt device 310 is kept in the first state. It can be held.

[0202] In the state shown in FIG. 29, the voice coil motor 352 performs a vibration operation (movement in the extension direction). This causes the tilt device 310 to be pushed in and out. After pushing the tilt device 310 to the end, the player who is still placing his / her hand on the tilt device 310 is asked to shake the tilt device 310. It is possible to create a performance that conveys movement.

[0203] That is, the voice coil motor 352 is caused to generate a driving force that assists in raising the tilt device 310. 24, and to vibrate the tilting device 310 disposed at the end of the pushing operation. This can be used to create vibration effects.

[0204] As shown in FIG. 30, when the player releases the tilt device 310, the tilt device 310 When the tilting device 310 is returned to the first state, the protruding protrusion 311j of the tilting device 310 is The contact with the voice coil motor 352 is released. is only valid when the player has pushed the tilt device 310 to its limit.

[0205] Therefore, compared to a gaming machine in which the operation button simply vibrates, the tilting device 310 is pushed in to operate the game machine. When the pressing end is pressed, whether or not vibration occurs due to the voice coil motor 352 is checked. Only the player who pressed the tilt device 310 can understand this.

[0206] Here, whether or not the lottery is a big win depends on the pushing operation of the tilting device 310. Therefore, there is a possibility that some players may not operate the tilting device 310 at all. In this case, the tilting device 310 becomes less valuable as an operating means.

[0207] In contrast, in this embodiment, the voice can be heard only by pushing the tilting device 310. The coil motor 352 is configured in such a way that the player can feel the vibration.

[0208] Here, for example, when a big win is confirmed, the voice coil motor 352 produces a vibration effect. By controlling in this way, the player feels more excited when pushing in the tilt device 310. This can improve the value of the tilt device 310 as a read-ahead means. This makes it easier for the player to operate the tilt device 310, and the operation of the tilt device 310 can be This can increase the value of the work as a creative tool.

[0209] As shown in FIG. 30, the disk cam 344 is moved from the state shown in FIG. 29 to the second protruding portion 344c1. The disk cam 344 is rotated forward (reverse rotation in FIG. 29) until it abuts against the engagement portion 346d of the release member 346. By rotating the driving device 340 in a predetermined direction (clockwise), the driving device 340 is set to the second initial state. This can be done.

[0210] In the second initial state, the engaging rib 344c and the release member 346 rotate in the same manner as in the first initial state. In the first initial state, the first protruding portion 344c1 comes into contact with the engaging rib 344c. On the other hand, in the second initial state, the second protruding portion 344c3 and the engaging rib 344c abut against each other. do.

[0211] From the state shown in FIG. 29, the disk cam 344 is rotated backward (clockwise in FIG. 29). After the first protruding portion 344c1 of the engaging rib 344c passes the engaging portion 346d, the engaging rib 344c is rotated in the reverse direction. 29 to the first initial state shown in FIG. 25. In this case, a load in the direction of pushing up the release member 346 is applied to the release member 346. Then, while maintaining the position of the rotary claw member 347, only the release member 346 is rotated forward (see FIG. 29). It can be rotated in a counterclockwise direction.

[0212] Next, referring to FIG. 31 to FIG. 34, the tilting device 310 is set to the first state, and the driving device The tilting device 310 is moved up and down (tilted) from the state in which the tilting device 340 is in the second initial state. In this case, the tilting device 310 is in the second state. After that, it starts to move back and forth up and down (tilting motion).

[0213] 31 to 34 are diagrams showing the operation device 300 taken along the line XXII-XXII in FIG. 6(a). In FIG. 31, the disc cam 344 is rotated forward (FIG. 31) from the state shown in FIG. 31) to rotate the release member 346 and the rotary claw member 347 in the backward direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 31). 31. In FIG. 32, the disk cam 344 is rotated from the state shown in FIG. 33 shows the state where the tilting device 310 has rotated a predetermined amount and reached the second state. 34 shows the state in which the disk cam 344 rotates back and forth from the state shown in FIG. 3 shows a state in which the player has pushed the tilting device 310 to the end position. In addition, in FIG. 33, the position of the tilting device 310 in the state of FIG. 32 is illustrated by an imaginary line. In FIG. 34, an example of a player's hand pushing in the tilting device 310 is shown by an imaginary line. can be.

[0214] As shown in FIG. 31, the disk cam 344 is rotated forward (counterclockwise in FIG. 31) from the state shown in FIG. When the rotating claw member 347 is rotated in the opposite direction, the engagement between the rotating claw member 347 and the tilting device 310 is released, and the tilting device The station 310 moves in the upward direction.

[0215] At this time, the guide hole of the arm member 345 is aligned in the direction in which the shaft portion 311c of the tilting device 310 moves. Since 345b is extended (has a space), the tilting device 310 can tilt the arm member 345. The tilting device 310 is not pulled by the disk cam 344 through the The tilting device 310 can be changed from the first state to the second state in a short time. can be done.

[0216] As shown in FIG. 32, in the state shown in FIG. 31 (the engagement between the tilting device 310 and the rotary claw member 347), By rotating the disk cam 344 by about 10 degrees from the inclined state (the inclined state), the attitude of the disk cam 344 is changed to the inclined state. The tilting device 310 is placed in a position that allows it to be placed in a second state (the disk cam 344 is rotated 180° from the first initial state). Therefore, the tilting device 310 can rise at a high speed. 30 to the second state in a short period of time, The disk cam 344 interferes with the change in state (the disk cam 344 rotates slowly through a certain angle). This can prevent the tilt device 310 from taking a long time to reach the second state. do.

[0217] As shown in FIG. 33, the disk cam 344 is rotated forward (in FIG. 32 counterclockwise), and then the disk cam 344 is rotated backwards (FIG. 3 2 clockwise) is repeated to obtain an angle D2 The tilt device 310 can be repeatedly moved up and down within the range of 100 mm to 150 mm. The appearance of the tilting device 310 relative to the operating device 300 can be changed. This can increase the attention of players.

[0218] In addition, the tilt device 310 repeatedly moves up and down within the range of angle D2. Therefore, the area of ​​the portion of the protective lens member 313 that protrudes upward from the upper frame member 331 changes. Therefore, only part of the light emitted from the LED device 341f can be seen through the protective lens member 313. The amount of light that can be received can be changed in response to the operation of the tilt device 310. The brightness of the falling device 310 can be changed, and the player's attention to the operation device 300 can be adjusted. The visibility can be improved.

[0219] In the state shown in FIG. 33, the spherical shell portion 313a of the lens member 313 is 33. Therefore, the light emitted from the LED device 341f is The irradiation range of the lamp is expanded not only in the forward / backward and upward / downward directions, but also in the left / right direction (perpendicular to the paper surface in Figure 33). It can be done.

[0220] That is, according to this embodiment, the light irradiation direction is changed in accordance with the change in the attitude of the tilting device 310. This not only changes the light intensity but also changes the range of light irradiation. , the attention of the tilting device 310 can be increased.

[0221] The range of angle D2 shown in FIG. 33 is different from the range of angle D1 shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the tilting device 310 can be moved up and down as shown in FIG. The two types of up and down movements (tilting movements) shown in FIG. 33 are tilted by the rotating claw member 347. This can be done immediately after the restriction on the upward movement of the toppling device 310 is released. Create two types of operation modes of the tilt device 310 in one state by the driving force of the drive motor 342. It is possible.

[0222] As a result, the operating mode of the operating member 310 can be varied as compared to when the operating member 310 performs the same operation every time. The tilt device 310 can have a different meaning (for example, a different expectation of a big win). This can increase the player's attention to the game.

[0223] As shown in FIG. 33, in the state where the tilting device 310 in FIG. 32 is moving up and down, The user can push and operate the tilting device 310. In the state shown in FIG. The load applied to the tilting device 310 by the arm member 345 pulls the tilting device 310 downward. The load is only in the direction of lifting the arm member 345 (even if the arm member 345 moves in the upward direction, the shaft portion 311 c moves only through the guide hole 345b of the arm member 345, and the shaft (There is no load lifting the portion 311c.)

[0224] Therefore, when the player pushes in the tilting device 310 in the state shown in FIG. 18. In order to prevent the load caused by the driving force of the driving motor 342 (see FIG. 18) from being applied to the At this time, the player is only subjected to the load of the torsion spring 315. This provides a large impact to the player when the player pushes in the tilting device 310. Since the occurrence of a burden on the player is suppressed, the player can comfortably operate the operation device 300. This can be done.

[0225] As shown in FIG. 34, in the process of pushing in the tilting device 310, The bottom plate portion 311a of the tilting device 310 pushes the hook-shaped portion 347d of the rotating claw member 347, As a result, the rotating claw member 347 rotates in the backward direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 34), and the tilting device When the bottom plate portion 311a passes through the hook portion 347d by pushing the 310, The rotation claw member 347 returns to a position where it can engage with the tilting device 310 (rotates in the forward rotation direction). Thus, the tilting device 310 is restricted in its upward movement by the rotating claw member 347 .

[0226] Therefore, when the player moves the tilt device 310 up and down as shown in FIG. After pressing down the 0 (see FIG. 34), if the player releases his / her hand, the tilt device 310 can be maintained in a first state.

[0227] Next, referring to FIG. 35 to FIG. 37, after the player performs the pushing operation, the rotating claw member 3 47 without releasing the restriction of the tilting device 310, the disc cam 344 is brought into the second initial state. This method allows the tilt device 310 to perform two types of up and down movements (tilting and It is possible to alternate between the two movements or perform one after the other.

[0228] 35 to 37 are diagrams showing the operation device 300 taken along the line XXII-XXII in FIG. 6(a). In FIG. 35, the disc cam 344 is rotated backward (FIG. 35) from the state shown in FIG. 35) and the release member 346 is rotated in the forward direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 35). 36, the rotating cam 344 is rotated in the backward direction (as shown in FIG. 35) more than in the state shown in FIG. After the disk cam 344 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the disk cam 344 comes into contact with the engagement portion 346d of the release member 346. In FIG. 37, the state in which the motor is rotated forward (counterclockwise in FIG. 35) to the position shown in FIG. From the state shown in FIG. 36, the disk cam 344 rotates forward (counterclockwise in FIG. 36) and the protective cover device 3 35 shows a state in which the left side detection sensor 353L of the sensor 50 is in the ON state. In FIG. 37, an example of a player's hand swinging over the tilt device 310 is shown in phantom lines. .

[0229] As shown in FIG. 35, the disk cam 344 is rotated backward (clockwise in FIG. 34) from the state shown in FIG. When the engaging rib 344c is rotated in the opposite direction, the second recess 344c4 of the engaging rib 344c engages the releasing member 346. In this case, the engaging rib 344c pushes up the release member 346. The attitude of the release member 346 changes due to the rotation of the release member 346. The rotary claw member 347 only moves in the space of the guide slot 347b of the member 347. The position shown in FIG. 5 is maintained.

[0230] That is, the disk cam 344 is rotated further backward (clockwise in FIG. 35) from the state shown in FIG. In the process of releasing the engagement between the engagement rib 344c and the release member 346, the rotary claw member The restriction of the lift of the tilting device 310 by 347 can be maintained.

[0231] From the state shown in FIG. 35, the disk cam 344 is further rotated in the backward direction (clockwise in FIG. 35). 35. Then, the rotating cam 344 is rotated forward (counterclockwise in FIG. 35), as shown in FIG. As shown, the actuator 340 may be in a second initial state.

[0232] In this embodiment, since there is no sensor for detecting the second initial state, the state shown in FIG. It is difficult to stop the disk cam 344 accurately, but it is possible to stop it via the second initial state shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to operate the disk cam 344 from the state shown in FIG. As a result, as described above, the vertical movement (tilt) from the second initial state in the range of the angle D2 It is possible to perform the operation.

[0233] Here, the player who presses the tilt device 310 is required to press the tilt device 310 until a special display such as "long press" is displayed. Even if the hand is not pressed down, the user may keep his / her hand on the tilt device 310 after pressing the device. There are things that can be done.

[0234] This is because, for example, the user is so focused on the performance that they press the tilt device 310 and release the hand that was operating it. This is an action that occurs due to forgetting, but in this case, the restriction by the rotating claw member 347 is released. Since the tilting device 310 does not rise even if the tilting device 310 is pulled up, the disc cam 344 tilts the tilting device 310 at an angle D2. Even if a reciprocating motion (forward / reverse switching motion) is performed to move up and down (tilt motion) within the range, The attitude of the tilt device 310 cannot be changed. In this case, the rotation of the drive motor 342 If the rotation can be eliminated, the life of the drive motor 342 can be extended. This can be done.

[0235] In this embodiment, the disk cam 344 is rotated forward (reverse rotation in FIG. 36) from the state shown in FIG. In the state where the lower frame member 320 is rotated in a clockwise direction, the left detection sensor 324L (FIG. 1 5) is maintained in the ON state (while the tilting device 310 is tilted to the first state or lower), The plate cam 344 is not rotated in the reverse direction, and the protective cover device 350 is rotated as shown in FIG. A first initial state of the driving device 340 in which the left detection sensor 353L (see FIG. 14) is in the ON state. In this state, the rotation of the disk cam 344 is stopped (the driving of the drive motor 342 is stopped). is controlled by.

[0236] In the state shown in FIG. 36 and FIG. 37, the player's hand is placed on the upper side of the tilting device 310. 36 to the state shown in FIG. 3 The change to the state shown in FIG. 7 is caused by rotating the drive motor 342 in one direction.

[0237] Therefore, as shown in FIG. 35 to FIG. 37, when the player's hand is placed on the upper side of the tilting device 310, The drive motor 342 is kept turned on until the tilt device 310 cannot be moved up or down. This avoids the reciprocating motion (forward and reverse switching motion) of the drive motor 342. This reduces the load on the motor and extends its lifespan.

[0238] In addition, when the disk cam 344 is rotated a predetermined amount (to the state shown in FIG. 31) from the state shown in FIG. When the left side detection sensor 324L (see FIG. 15) is kept in the ON state, Instead of rotating the disk cam 344 as is, it is immediately rotated in the reverse direction to return to the state shown in FIG. This allows the driving device 340 to return to the second initial state early. This can prevent unnecessary load from being applied to the driving device 340, and therefore the driving motor 342 (see FIG. 18) can be This can extend the motor life of the motor (see reference).

[0239] With reference to Figures 38 and 39, a method for preventing damage to the driving device 340 will be described. 38 is a cross-sectional view of the operating device 300 taken along line XXII-XXII in FIG. 39 is a partial cross-sectional view of the operation device 300 taken along the line XXXIX-XXXIX in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 38, the tilting device 310 is in the second state. The hands of the player grabbing and holding the game machine are shown in phantom lines, and in FIG. The components are not shown in the figure.

[0240] As shown in FIG. 38, when a player grasps and fixes the tilt device 310, the arm member 34 Since the movement of the disk cam 344 is restricted, the disk cam 344 cannot be rotated from the state shown in FIG. Therefore, when the drive motor 342 (see FIG. 39) starts rotating, A high load is generated between the drive motor 342 and the transmission gear 343b, and if left unattended, the drive motor 342 (see FIG. 18) The light may malfunction.

[0241] In contrast, in this embodiment, the transmission gear 343b is fixed to the transmission shaft rod 343b. Since the drive motor 342 is configured to be able to rotate freely relative to the drive motor 343a, the drive motor 342 is prevented from breaking down. It is possible.

[0242] That is, as shown in FIG. 39, the drive motor 342 is driven with the disk cam 344 fixed. The transmission gear 343b starts to rotate, and the clutch portion 343b 2, 343c2, and the movable clutch 343c transfers the power from the transmission gear 343b to the As a result, the transmission gear 343b and the movable clutch 343c are disengaged. This releases the engagement of the drive motor 343b and allows the transmission gear 343b to rotate freely. This can prevent the device 42 from failing.

[0243] In addition, if the player is not holding the tilting device 310, due to the configuration of the operation device 300, When the plate cam 344 is rotated once, the tilting device 310 passes through the first state. In this embodiment, the lower frame member 3 is rotated by a predetermined angle (for example, 360°) while the drive motor 342 is rotated. When the left side detection sensor 324L of the left side sensor 20 is not in the ON state (when the tilting device 310 is in the first state), In the case where the tilting device 310 is not tilted, the player intentionally performs an unnecessary operation of holding and fixing the tilting device 310. When the user judges that the gripping action is being performed, the third pattern display device 81 is instructed to stop the gripping action, for example. The display notifies the user, and the rotation of the drive motor 342 is stopped.

[0244] This allows you to select the case where the player is intentionally performing an incorrect operation, and only then, It is possible to notify the user to stop the operation and to stop the drive motor 342 early. Failures can be prevented.

[0245] In addition, when the transmission gear 343b and the movable clutch 343c are separated from each other and a phase shift occurs, The initial phase of the drive motor and the initial phase of the disk cam 344, which has the same phase as the movable clutch 343c, Therefore, the state before the phase shift occurs continues (number of steps, etc.) When the drive motor 342 is controlled, the disk cam 344 cannot be operated accurately. (phase shift cannot be corrected).

[0246] In contrast, in this embodiment, the left detection sensor 353L of the protective cover member 350 is turned ON. By detecting that the driving device 340 has entered the first initial state, Since the position can be specified, the control of the drive motor 352 is resumed with the specified state as the initial position. (resetting the initial phase of the drive motor 342), the transmission gear 343b and the movable clutch Even after a phase shift occurs between the latch 343c and the phase of the drive motor 342 and the disk Control can be performed with the phase of the cam 344 again aligned.

[0247] In this way, when the tilt device 310 is operated to perform a performance, the drive motor 342 The operation to be performed by the tilting device 310 through the rotation control of the tilting device 310 and the operation actually performed by the tilting device 310 are Therefore, the occurrence of a misalignment between the transmission gear 343b and the movable clutch is prevented. Even after a phase shift occurs between the tilt device 310 and the switch 343c, the tilt device 310 can be operated properly. You can perform the performance.

[0248] As shown in FIG. 39, the movable clutch 343c rotates in the direction of rotation of the transmission gear 343b. Regardless of the shape, the transmission gear 343b is configured to rotate freely. These are explained below.

[0249] Figures 40, 41, 42 and 43 show the operation of the line XXII-XXII in Figure 6(a). 40 is a cross-sectional view of the operating device 300. Note that in FIG. 40, the disc cam 3 44 is shown rotated 180 degrees in the forward direction (in the CCW direction of the arrow), and in FIG. 40, the disk cam 344 is further rotated in the CCW direction as indicated by the arrow. 42, the disk cam 344 rotates backward (in the direction of the arrow CW) from the state shown in FIG. In FIG. 43, the disk cam is rotated 180 degrees from the state shown in FIG. The state in which 344 has rotated in the direction of the arrow CW is shown in the figure.

[0250] As shown in FIG. 41, when the disk cam 344 rotates in the CCW direction, the tilting device 31 40, and moves to the second state. As shown in FIG. 3, when the disk cam 344 rotates in the direction of the arrow CW, the tilting device 310 42 and is configured to maintain the first state.

[0251] This is because, as the state shown in FIG. 42 changes to the state shown in FIG. The reason is not only that the disc cam 344 moves away from the release member 346, but also that the disc cam 344 When the engaging rib 344c rotates in the direction of the arrow CW, the engaging rib 344c abuts against the release member 346. This is because the locking by the claw member 347 is not released. When rotating in the CW direction, the engaging rib 344c comes into contact with the release member 346 from below. In this case, the release member 346 is lifted up by the engagement rib 344c, and the rotary claw member 3 Therefore, the load in the direction of pushing up the rotary claw member 347 is not generated. It will never be.

[0252] Here, when the operation of the tilting device 310 is viewed from the player's viewpoint, FIG. Up to the first state shown in the figure, both appear to behave in the same way, but after the first state, the behavior The operation will be different from that shown in FIG. 41 or FIG.

[0253] For example, the difference in the operation after the tilting device 310 reaches the first state is calculated by the driving motor 342. (see FIG. 39), but it may be generated by changing the rotation speed of the drive motor 342. The player notices the type of control being performed by the difference in the change in the driving sound, and There is a risk that the player will be aware of the effects and lose interest in the game. When the operation of suddenly stopping the drive motor 342 is performed by suddenly stopping the drive motor 342, The load placed on the drive motor 342 will increase, and the durability of the drive motor 342 may decrease.

[0254] In contrast, according to this embodiment, the tilting device 310 is moved from the state shown in FIG. 3, and the subsequent operation of the tilting device 310 is changed, the driving motor 342 The only difference between the rotations is the direction, so the rotation is determined by the driving mode (vibration, sound, etc.). It is therefore difficult for the player to grasp the direction of the ball. The tilting device 310 is raised from the first state or the tilting device 310 is maintained in the first state. When the expectation of the output changes, the expectation is changed while the tilt device 310 is moving toward the first state. This prevents the player from noticing the change in the tilt device. It is possible to improve attention to the action of 310.

[0255] On the other hand, the tilting device 310 reaches the first state and the drive motor 342 rotates further. By checking whether the tilt device 310 rises or maintains the first state, Since the player can grasp the change in the expectation level of the performance, the tilt device 310 When the drive motor 342 moves the second state (see FIG. 38) toward the first state, , the user can be directed to watch the movement of the tilt device 310.

[0256] That is, when the tilt device 310 is in the second state, the player holds the tilt device 310. This can prevent the player from operating the drive motor 342 erroneously. This can prevent the tilting device 310 and the driving device 340 from being overloaded. do.

[0257] In order to perform the effect of suddenly stopping the tilt device 310, a drive motor 342 (see FIG. 39) Therefore, when the drive motor 342 is stopped suddenly, the drive motor 3 The load on the drive motor 342 can be eliminated, and the durability of the drive motor 342 can be improved. can be done.

[0258] Next, referring to FIG. 44, when the player pushes down the tilting device 310, Even if the tilting device 310 moves up and down without being restricted by the rotating claw member 347 (third The operation mode will be explained below.

[0259] FIG. 44 is a cross-sectional view of the operating device 300 taken along line XXII-XXII in FIG. 6(a). In addition, in FIG. 44, the disk cam 340 is in the first initial state (see FIG. 25). 44 is shown rotated a predetermined amount in the forward direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 44), and the first The disc cam 344 is rotated at an angle such that the protruding portion 344c1 does not pass through the engaging portion 346d of the release member 346. The outline of the tilting device 310 after rotating it backward (clockwise in FIG. 44) is shown by imaginary lines. As shown in the figure.

[0260] As shown in FIG. 44, the release member 346 is In the pressed-down state, the first protruding portion 344c1 and the first retracting portion 344c2 are a release portion. The disk cam 344 rotates back and forth while maintaining a positional relationship in which the disk cam 344 does not pass through the engaging portion 346d of the member 346. 3, the tilting device 310 is moved up and down while maintaining the position of the release member 346. It can be made to work.

[0261] In this case, the attitude of the rotary claw member 347 rotates backward ( 44) clockwise, the tilting device 31 is maintained in the state shown in FIG. When the tilting device 310 moves up and down, even if the player pushes in the tilting device 310, the tilting device When the player releases the hand, the tilting device 310 is disengaged from the rotating claw member 347. When the rotating claw member 347 engages with the tilting device 310, the tilting device 310 is raised. The vertical movement is continued while moving upward from the position where the vertical movement is restricted. It is possible.

[0262] For example, the tilting device 310 may be operated in the first or second manner. By providing a difference in the presentation between the operation mode shown in FIG. 2 and the operation mode shown in FIG. 44, The operation of the device 300 can be given a different meaning from the conventional one. According to the method, when a player pushes in the tilt device 310 and then releases the tilt device 310, Only then will it be apparent that the tilt device 310 is moving up and down in the first or second operating mode. It is possible to know whether the movable member 1 is moving vertically in the first operation mode or in the second operation mode.

[0263] As a difference in the performance, the tilt device 310 moves up and down in the first and second operation modes. When the tilt device 310 is pressed and then released, the tilt device 310 returns to the first state. In the third operation mode, the tilting device 310 moves up and down (when the tilting device 310 is kept in the up and down position) is more stable than in the third operation mode. If the tilt device 310 continues to move up and down even after you release your hand after pushing the device 310 in, If the player tilts the device, the expectation of a big win is higher than in the other two cases. Whether or not the jackpot is generated not only when the tilt device 310 is pushed in but also when the hand is released from the tilt device 310 Since the player can recognize the degree of expectation of whether or not the game will be successful, the player can pay attention to the operation device 300. This allows more opportunities for users to see the operation device 300. can be improved.

[0264] Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 45 to 49. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the state of the rotary claw member 347 is maintained when the release member 346 is pushed up. As described above, the operating device 2300 in the second embodiment has a sliding mechanism. When the release member 2346 is pushed up, the slide claw member 23 The same parts as those in the above-mentioned embodiments are configured in such a way that the slide mechanism 48 slides. The same reference numerals are used and the description thereof will be omitted. First, referring to FIG. 45 and FIG. 46, The differences from the embodiment will be described.

[0265] FIG. 45(a) is a side view of the slide claw member 2348 in the second embodiment. FIG. 45(b) is a side view of the rotating plate member 2347, and FIG. 45(c) is a side view of the release member 2346. FIG.

[0266] FIG. 46(a) and FIG. 46(b) show a release member 2346, a rotating plate member 2347 and a slide. A release member 2346, a rotating plate member 2347, and a sliding claw member, which are interlocked with a claw member 2348. This is a side view of 2348.

[0267] In FIG. 46(a), the rotating plate member 2347 is connected to the second spring S The large angle state where the actuator P2 has rotated to the end position of the biasing direction is shown in FIG. 46(b). The rotating plate member 2347 is moved to the terminal position against the biasing force of the second spring SP2 with respect to the member 2346. In addition, when the disk cam 344 abuts against the disk cam 344, The state in which the release member 2346 rotates is a state between the large angle state and the small angle state (the protruding pin 3 46b is disposed at the center position of the elongated guide hole 347b (see FIG. 48).

[0268] As shown in FIG. 45 and FIG. 46, the driving device 2340 (see FIG. 47) includes a shaft portion 341c ( As functional members pivotally supported on the support 2342 (see FIG. 47), a release member 2346 and a rotary plate member 2347 are provided. The rotating plate member 2347 is disposed on the opposite side of the release member 2346 and is tiltable. The slide mechanism 2310 (see FIG. 47) is configured to slide along a circular arc around the rotation axis of the slide mechanism 2310. The release member 2346 and the rotating plate portion The member 2347 and the slide claw member 2348 have the same functions as those in the first embodiment. The same reference numerals are used for the components, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0269] As shown in FIG. 45(a), the sliding claw member 2348 slides on the rail portion 2347f. A curved portion 2348a formed from a curved shape in a manner that the curved portion can be inserted into the curved portion. At the upper end of 2348a, a hook-shaped portion 2348b is provided so as to protrude forward (to the left in FIG. 45) in a hook-like shape. The thickness direction of the curved portion 2348a and the hook-shaped portion 2348b (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 47(a)) ) and is formed in a curved plate shape wider than the curved portion 2348a. A reinforcing portion 2348c is provided at the lower end of the reinforcing portion 2348c, and the reinforcing portion 2348c is provided at the lower end of the reinforcing portion 2348c. and a cylindrical protruding pin 2348d protruding from the protruding portion 2348.

[0270] The width of the curved portion 2348a is slightly shorter than the separation width of the rail portion 2347f. Therefore, the curved portion 2348a of the slide claw member 2348 is set to the rail portion 2 347f, the rotary plate member 2347 is configured to be slidable relative to the rotary plate member 2347. It is done.

[0271] The hook portion 2348b has a shape similar to that of the hook portion 347d of the first embodiment, and its lower surface The magnetic material is disposed on the bottom plate 2311 of the tilting device 2310 described later. It is a magnetic material that generates a magnetic force that attracts a.

[0272] The reinforcing portion 2348c is a part of the rotating plate member 2347 that is supported by the reinforcing portion 2348c. This is a portion facing the surface opposite to the surface facing the claw member 2348, and is curved from the curved portion 2348a. The width of the slide claw member 2348 is also made wider, thereby reinforcing the slide claw member 2348.

[0273] The protruding pin 2348d is a cylindrical member inserted into the functional slot 2346e of the release member 2346. The release member 234 is made of a metal rod that is inserted and fixed to the main body plate portion 2348e. 6 rotates relative to the rotary plate member 2347, so that the protruding pin 2348d is inserted into the functional slot 23 The slide claw member 2348 slides when pressed by the side surface of 46e.

[0274] The rotating plate member 2347 has a shaft support hole 347a, a guide elongated hole 347b, and an insertion hole 347c. In addition to the pull-down hole 347e, a rail for guiding the sliding movement of the slide claw member 2348 is provided. The support elongated hole through which the protruding pin 2348d of the slide claw member 2348 is inserted. It weighs 2,347g.

[0275] The rail portion 2347f is made up of a pair of plate-shaped portions extending from the upper end of the rotating plate member 2347. The side surfaces of the pair of plate-shaped parts that are arranged opposite to each other are formed such that the rotating plate member 2347 rotates in the forward direction. When the shaft portion 314 (see FIG. 47) is disposed at the end position (counterclockwise in FIG. 46), It is formed from a curved shape along a circular arc centered at .

[0276] The support elongated hole 2347g is formed to have a shaft portion 314 (see FIG. 47) therethrough, similar to the rail portion 2347f. The curved shape is formed along a circular arc with the center being the center. When the slide claw member 2348 is slid in a state where the slide claw portion 2348 is inserted, The member 2348 can be supported by the rail portion 2347f and the support elongated hole 2347g. This can prevent the door claw member 2348 from wobbling.

[0277] The release member 2346 includes a shaft support hole 346a, a protruding pin 346b, and an insertion hole 346c. In addition to the joint portion 346d, the functional slot 2346e is a slot drilled in the thickness direction. do.

[0278] The functional slot 2346e is smaller in diameter than the protruding pin 2348d of the slide claw member 2348. It is configured as a wide long hole, and has a curved shape along an arc centered on the shaft support hole 346a. A first long hole portion 2346e1 is configured, and a support is provided from one end of the first long hole portion 2346e. A second long hole portion 2346e2 extending in a direction inclined toward the opposite direction of the hole 346a; Provide for the Lord.

[0279] As shown in FIG. 46, the release member 2346 rotates relative to the rotary plate member 2347 and the angle becomes large. When the state is changed between the small angle state and the small angle state, the slide claw member 2348 slides against the rail portion 234 It slides along the curved shape of 7f.

[0280] The functional slot 2346e is configured as a slot slightly wider than the diameter of the protruding pin 2348d. Therefore, the movement speed of the release member 2346 is constant without any time delay with respect to the movement of the release member 2346. The degree is directly reflected in the moving speed of the protruding pin 2348d.

[0281] That is, if the release member 2346 is rotated quickly, the sliding claw member 2348 slides quickly. While the sliding action of the release member 2346 is performed, the speed at which the release member 2346 is rotated is slowed down, so that the sliding claw member The operating speed of 2348 will also become slower.

[0282] As shown in FIG. 46(a), in the large angle state, the sliding claw member 2348 is in the sliding direction. Even if the first arcuate portion 2346e1 is pulled toward the shaft support hole 346a, the first arcuate portion 2346e1 will move in an arc centered on the shaft support hole 346a. Since the shape is made to conform to the shape of the protruding pin 2348d, the load applied to the functional slot 2346e from the protruding pin 2348d The shaft support hole 346a is oriented in a straight line. Therefore, no force is generated, and the sliding claw member 2348 can be prevented from sliding. do.

[0283] That is, in this embodiment, the release member 2346 rotates to slide the slide claw member 2 Even if the slide claw member 347 slides, when the angle is large, the slide claw member 2347 The sliding claw member 2347 does not slide when pulled. As in the first embodiment, when the tilting device 2310 is placed in the first state, the slide The claw member 2348 is engaged with the tilt device 2310 to raise the tilt device 2310. It can be regulated.

[0284] 47 to 49 are diagrams illustrating the change in the posture of the tilting device 2310 in time series. , a cross section of the operation device 2300 taken along a line corresponding to line XXII-XXII in FIG. In FIG. 47, the second retraction portion 344c4 of the disk cam 344 is in contact with the release member 234. 47. In FIG. 48, the state in which the lock lever 341 is disposed under the engagement portion 346d of the lock lever 341 is shown. Then, the disk cam 344 is rotated in the backward direction (clockwise in FIG. 47) to engage the release member 2346. 48. In FIG. 49, the state in which the disk cam 346d is pushed up is shown. 344 is rotated in the rearward direction (clockwise in FIG. 48) so that the release member 2346 releases the second spring SP 2 shows the state in which the spring 2 has been returned to its original position by the biasing force of the spring 2.

[0285] In this embodiment, the bottom plate portion 2311a of the tilting device 2310 is disposed at the lower edge of the opening 311b. A magnet portion 2311a1 made of a magnetic material and fixed to the upper side surface near the Prepare.

[0286] In the state shown in FIG. 47, the magnet portion 2311a1 and the hook portion 2348b are attracted to each other by magnetic force. When the player pushes in the tilt device 2310 from this state, the tilt device 23 10 changes its posture, the magnet portion 2311a1 and the hook portion 2348b are no longer attracted to each other, so the tilt No large load is applied to the slide claw member 2348 from the tilting device 2310.

[0287] As shown in FIG. 48, when the release member 2346 is pushed up, the slide The idling claw member 2348 slides upward. At this time, the magnet portion 2311a1 and the hook Since the release member 2346 is attracted to the ridge 2348b by magnetic force, when the release member 2346 is quickly operated, , the operation of the tilt device 2310 also becomes faster.

[0288] Therefore, the speed at which the tilting device 2310 rotates in the upward direction due to the biasing force of the torsion spring 315 is By sliding the slide claw member 2348 at a speed different from that of the slide claw member 2348, the slide The claw member 2348 is rotated in the backward direction (clockwise in FIG. 48) to move the tilting device 2310 upward. The tilting device 2310 is moved upward at a speed different from that of the lifting speed when the restriction is released. In other words, the speed at which the tilting device 2310 moves in the upward direction can be changed (fourth operation mode). It can be made into a

[0289] As shown in FIG. 49, when the engagement between the disk cam 344 and the release member 2346 is released, The removal member 2346 rotates in the rearward direction (clockwise in FIG. 48) due to the biasing force of the second spring SP2. This causes the sliding claw member 2348 to return to the first state.

[0290] By enabling the operation modes shown in FIG. 47 to FIG. 49, the third embodiment described in the first embodiment can be realized. The tilting device 2310 can be operated in four operating modes in combination with the first to third operating modes. As the number of operation modes increases, the expectation of a big win can be associated with each operation mode. This makes it easier for players to use the operation device 2300 as a means of reading ahead. This can increase the attention of the operation device 2300 to the player.

[0291] According to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 48, the slide claw member 2348 rises. When the tilting device 2310 is raised by the above, the hook-shaped portion 234 of the slide claw member 2348 8b and the magnet portion 2311a1 of the tilting device 2310. Therefore, by ensuring a large magnetic force, the biasing force of the torsion spring 315 can be increased. The load applied to the tilt device 2310 is smaller than that when the tilt device 2310 is raised by force. can be increased.

[0292] That is, normally, when the player places his / her hand on the top of the tilt device 2310, the slide When the restriction by the claw member 2348 is released, the tilting device 2310 rises due to the weight of the hand. Even if the force of the torsion spring 315 is prevented from lifting the weight of the hand, If the magnetic force is large enough to lift the weight of the hand, even if it is not large enough, In the state shown in FIG. 1, the tilt device 2310 is raised in a manner that lifts the player's hand. can be done.

[0293] As a result, when the tilting device 2310 is raised, the load in the upward direction (downward load) is It is possible to provide a difference in the force that tries to maintain the position of the tilting device 2310 relative to the load. Therefore, before pushing the tilt device 2310, place your hand on the top of the tilt device 2310. Players who play in different ways can feel the difference in the load.

[0294] For example, by associating the difference in load with the expectation of a big win, This makes it easier for players to use the operation device 2300 as a means of reading ahead, This can increase the attention of the operation device 2300.

[0295] Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 50 to 52. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a sensor is used to detect whether the tilt device 310 is in the first state or in the state where it is pressed by the player. The case where the operation device 324L and 324R can detect the position is described. The tilting device 3310 is in an intermediate state between the first state and a state where it is pushed in by the player. The detection sensors 324L and 324R can detect whether the lock is in the locked position or is being pushed in by the player. The same parts as those in the above-mentioned embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals. Therefore, the description will be omitted.

[0296] FIG. 50 is a side view of the tilting device 3310 in the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. The tilting device 3310 is a right-hand tilting device that extends downward from the bottom plate portion 311a of the case body 3311. The left detection piece 311gR is located at the same position as the left detection piece 311gL in the first embodiment (when tilted). A plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the device 3310 and located at the center of the rotation axis direction is a left detection piece 3311gL extending from the left detection piece 3311gR (opposite the left detection piece 3311gR); The left detection piece 3311gL is longer in extension than the right detection piece 311gR. Compared to the left detection piece 311gL in the first embodiment, the extension length is made shorter.

[0297] 51(a) and 51(b) are side views of the operation device 3300. In FIG. 51(a), the tilting device 3310 is in a first state, and in FIG. 51(b), the tilting device 331 The state in which 0 is being pressed is shown. Also, FIG. 51(a) and FIG. 51(b) In order to facilitate understanding, the lower frame member 320, the upper frame member 330 and the protective cover device The outer shape of the device 350 is shown in phantom lines, while the detection sensors 324L, 324R and the voice The coil motor 352 is shown by a solid line, and the detection sensors 324L, 324R and The overlapping portion of the detection pieces 3311gL and 311gR is shown diagrammatically.

[0298] As shown in FIG. 51(a), when the tilting device 3310 is in the first state, the left detection piece 3 311gL is not inserted into the left detection sensor 324L, and the right detection piece 311gR is The right detection sensor 324R is not inserted (the left detection sensor 324L is OFF and The right detection sensor 324R is in the OFF state.

[0299] As shown in FIG. 51(b), the tilting device 3310 is pushed from the first state to the pushing end. When the left detection piece 3311gL is in the middle of being operated, the left detection sensor 324L The right detection piece 311gR is inserted into the right detection sensor 324R. (The left detection sensor 324L is ON and the right detection sensor 324R is OFF.) .

[0300] By detecting the change in the state of each of the detection sensors 324L and 324R, the tilting device When 3310 is in an intermediate state between the first state and the state where it is pushed to the end of the push, It is possible to detect whether the button is in the middle of being pressed in or in the middle of being released.

[0301] That is, when the left detection sensor 324L is in the ON state and the right detection sensor 324R is in the OFF state, If there is one, the tilting device 3310 may be in an intermediate state between the first state and the state where the tilting device 3310 is pushed to the end of the pushing operation. However, this is because the left detection sensor 324L is in the OFF state and the right detection sensor 324 By detecting that R has changed from the OFF state, the tilt device 3310 It can be determined that the input operation is in progress.

[0302] 52(a) and 52(b) are side views of the operation device 3300. 2(a) shows a state in which the tilting device 3310 is pushed to the end of the pushing motion, and FIG. 2(b) shows the state in which the tilting device 3310 is moving from the pushing end to the first state. In addition, in order to facilitate understanding, in Fig. 51(a) and Fig. 51(b), The outlines of member 320, upper frame member 330 and protective cover device 350 are shown in phantom lines. The detection sensors 324L, 324R and the voice coil motor 352 are shown in solid lines. At the same time, the detection sensors 324L and 324R overlap with the detection pieces 3311gL and 311gR. The relevant parts are shown diagrammatically.

[0303] As shown in FIG. 52(a), when the tilting device 3310 is pushed to the end of the pushing motion, The left detection piece 3311gL is inserted into the left detection sensor 324L, and the right detection piece 3 11gR is inserted into the right detection sensor 324R (if the left detection sensor 324L is in the ON state) (The right detection sensor 324R is in the ON state.)

[0304] As shown in FIG. 52(b), the tilting device 3310 is disposed in the first state and at the pushing end. When the state is between the above states, the left detection piece 3311gL is inserted into the left detection sensor 324L. On the other hand, the right detection piece 311gR is not inserted into the right detection sensor 324R. (The left detection sensor 324L is in the ON state and the right detection sensor 324R is in the OFF state).

[0305] If the left detection sensor 324L is ON and the right detection sensor 324R is OFF, The tilting device 3310 is in an intermediate state between the first state and the state where it is pushed to the end of the pushing. However, when the left detection sensor 324L is ON and the right detection sensor 324R is ON, By detecting that the state has changed from the first state, the tilt device 3310 returns to the first state. It can be determined that the process is in progress.

[0306] Here, the driving force of the voice coil motor 352 is transmitted to the tilting device 3310. When an auxiliary load is applied to raise the tilt device 3310, the ball is moved downward while the tilt device 3310 is lowered. Rather than colliding the chair coil motor 352 with the tilt device 3310, the tilt device 3310 is raised. It is more effective to collide the voice coil motor 352 with the tilt device 3310 during the lifting operation. A load can be applied to lift the tilt device 3310.

[0307] Therefore, as shown in FIG. 52(b), from the detection history of each of the detection sensors 324L and 324R, The tilting device 3310 is judged to be in the middle of ascending and the ... By driving the voice coil motor 352 when the state has not yet reached 1, The driving force of the chair coil motor 352 can be effectively transmitted to the tilt device 3310, The lifting speed of the toppling device 3310 can be improved.

[0308] Here, in order to suppress the driving force of the driving motor 342 (see FIG. 18), the torsion spring 315 When the biasing force is suppressed, the tilting device 3310 is pushed in from the first state. In this case, if the player repeatedly taps the tilt device 3310, However, the upward movement of the tilting device 3310 does not follow the movement of the player's hand, making it comfortable to perform repeated tapping operations. It is not possible to do so.

[0309] In contrast, according to the present embodiment, the driving force of the voice coil motor 352 is effectively used. By doing so, the tilting device 3310 can be raised more quickly than when it is raised only by the biasing force of the torsion spring 315. Therefore, the speed at which the tilting device 3310 rises can be improved. This allows for comfortable rapid-fire operations.

[0310] Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 53 to 55. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a sensor is used to detect whether the tilt device 310 is in the first state or in the state where it is pressed by the player. The case where the detection is possible by the operation devices 324L and 324R has been described. The sensor 4300 detects the speed of the tilt device 4310 while it is changing from the second state to the first state. The driving method of the voice coil motor 352 is changed according to the detection result. In addition, the same parts as those in the above-mentioned embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. do.

[0311] FIG. 53 is a side view of a tilting device 4310 in the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. The tilting device 4310 is provided in a plate-like shape from the front side of the protruding protrusion 311j of the case body 4311. It is provided with a protruding front detection piece 4311k.

[0312] The front detection piece 4311k is an upper detection sensor disposed on the bottom plate portion 4321 of the lower frame member 4320. The lower detection sensor 4321d and the lower detection sensor 4321e (see Figure 54) pass through the detection groove (slit). The tilt setting is performed according to the detection timing of each of the detection sensors 4321d and 4321e. This is a part for determining the operating speed of the device 4310.

[0313] 54(a) and 54(b) are diagrams showing a time series of pressing operations of the operating device 4300. 54(a) is a side view of the operating device 4300 shown in FIG. 54(b), the tilting device 4310 is in the second state from the state shown in FIG. When the front detection piece 4311k is pushed in, it passes through the lower detection sensor 4321e downward. In addition, in Fig. 54(a) and Fig. 54(b), In order to do so, the outer shapes of the lower frame member 4320, the upper frame member 330, and the protective cover device 350 can be imagined. While being illustrated by lines, each of the detection sensors 324L, 324R, 4321d, 4321e and A voice coil motor 352 is shown in solid lines.

[0314] As shown in FIG. 54(a) and FIG. 54(b), the lower frame member 4320 has a bottom plate portion 4321. The front side portion is provided with an upper detection sensor 4321d and a lower detection sensor 4321e. The side detection sensor 4321d and the lower detection sensor 4321e are photocoupler type sensors. Therefore, the front detection piece 4311k is disposed in a position facing a direction in which the detection groove can pass through. In this embodiment, the upper detection sensor 4321d and the lower detection sensor 4321e are the tilting device. They are arranged at 20° intervals on an arcuate orbit centered on the rotation axis of 4310.

[0315] From the state shown in FIG. 54(a), the player pushes in the tilting device 4310 to When the state changes to that shown in FIG. 54(b), the front detection piece 4311k contacts the upper detection sensor 4311. The sensor 4321d and the lower detection sensor 4321e pass through each other in this order. By detecting this, it is possible to judge the speed of the tilt device 4310. Based on the judgment, it is determined whether or not to drive the voice coil motor 352.

[0316] Here, when the tilting device 4310 is pushed in from the second position, the pushing length is Since the pressing length is long (the period during which acceleration is applied is long), The upper limit of the operating speed of the tilting device 4310 is higher than that of the tilting device 4310. If the player does not hold the device from the side, a tilt mechanism is provided as a safety measure in case the player pushes the device with full force. The tilting device 4310 needs to be made sturdy, and tends to be heavy. Challenges arise.

[0317] In addition, the tilt device 4310 is only activated when the tilt device 4310 is positioned near the end of the push-in. A spring is built in to apply a biasing force, and the tilting device 4310 is decelerated by the biasing force of the spring. However, in this case, players with weak strength or who push the buttons gently may be For players who have decided to push the button, the fact that the reaction force is always large near the push position is a good sign. This places a burden on the user when operating the tilt device 4310, and the user is likely to feel fatigued. There is a risk that you will not be able to work comfortably.

[0318] In contrast, in this embodiment, the upper detection sensor 4321d and the lower detection sensor 4321e The interval between the ON and OFF states determines the voice control. By determining whether to drive the wheel motor 352, the tilting mechanism is prevented from being tilted even when it is not necessary. This can prevent a strong reaction force from being applied to the device 4310.

[0319] That is, for example, the upper detection sensor 4321d and the lower detection sensor 4321e are The interval between switching between the ON and OFF states is shorter than a specified period (for example, 1 second). If the delay time is longer than the above, the voice coil motor 352 is not driven, while the delay time is longer than the above. If the interval is shorter than a predetermined period, the voice coil motor 352 is controlled to be driven. .

[0320] In this way, if the operation speed of the tilting device 4310 is slow, the player The reaction force felt from the tilting device 4310 is only the biasing force generated by the torsion spring 315, and is a weak force. However, the tilting device 4310 can be easily pushed and operated.

[0321] Furthermore, when the operation speed of the tilt device 4310 is fast, the tilt device 4310 As a reaction force against the In this case, the driving force generated by the voice coil motor 352 can be applied. Therefore, the operation speed of the tilting device 4310 can be suppressed.

[0322] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 54(b), the protruding protrusion 3 of the tilting device 4310 Before the 11j extends downward from the lower frame member 4320, the voice coil motor 352 is driven. The movable member of the voice coil motor 352 is preliminarily moved to the side adjacent to the tilting device 4310. The control is performed in such a manner that the ink is pushed outward.

[0323] As a result, the tilting device 4310 compared to the case where the tilt device 4310 collides with the voice coil motor 352. This can suppress the impact.

[0324] 55(a) and 55(b) are side views of the operation device 4300. 5(a), the tilting device 4310 is in the middle of being pushed from the first state to the pushing end. FIG. 55(b) shows a state where the tilting device 4310 has reached the end of the pushing operation. As shown.

[0325] In addition, in order to facilitate understanding, in FIG. 55(a) and FIG. 55(b), the lower frame member 4 320, upper frame member 330 and protective cover device 350 are shown in phantom lines. The detection sensors 324L, 324R, 4321d, 4321e and the voice coil motor 35 2 is illustrated by a solid line.

[0326] As shown in FIG. 55(a), the tilting device 4310 is pushed in at high speed from the second state. In this case, when the tilting device 4310 is in a state where it is in the middle of reaching the pushing end from the first state, The protruding protrusion 311j of the tilting device 4310 and the voice coil motor 352 are brought into contact with each other.

[0327] By pushing the tilting device 4310, the protruding protrusion 311j The direction in which the motor 352 is moved is along the extension direction D41 of the voice coil motor 352. Therefore, the voice coil motor 352 is moved in the contraction direction to perform a push-in operation. Therefore, the movement of the tilting device 4310 continues, but the voice Applying a load in the direction of pushing up the tilt device 4310 with the driving force of the coil motor 352 , and the tilt device 4310 can be decelerated.

[0328] At this time, the voice coil motor 352 applies a load by friction like a disk brake. Since the load is applied by electromagnetic force rather than by a mechanical structure, damage to components is suppressed and durability is improved. can be secured.

[0329] In the state shown in FIG. 55(a), the protruding protrusion 311j of the tilting device 4310 and the voice Since the coil motor 352 is already in contact with the left detection sensor 351, the state shown in FIG. The current flowing through the voice coil motor 352 is gradually increased from the ON state of the capacitor 324L. As a result, the reaction force applied to the tilt device 4310 from the voice coil motor 352 is gradually can be increased.

[0330] Therefore, the projection 311j of the tilting device 4310 and the voice coil motor 352 come into contact with each other. The reaction force felt by the player at the time of contact is suppressed while the tilt device 4310 is in the first state. This improves the deceleration effect on the way from the pushing end to the pushing end.

[0331] As shown in FIG. 55(b), when the tilting device 4310 is placed at the push-in end position, In this state, the tilting device 4310 is in the lower frame portion The voice coil motor 352 then contacts the material 4320 in the rotation direction and stops descending. This eliminates the need to decelerate the tilt device 4310.

[0332] In this embodiment, the voice coil motor 352 vibrates in the state shown in FIG. This causes the image to move in the direction of expansion and contraction repeatedly. After pushing the tilt device 4310 to the end, place your hand on the tilt device 4310. It is possible to provide an effect in which vibrations are transmitted to players who continue playing.

[0333] That is, the voice coil motor 352 is operated to reduce the speed of the pushing operation of the tilt device 4310. The tilting device 4310 arranged at the end position of the pushing is vibrated to vibrate the It can be used for the purpose of creating dynamic presentations.

[0334] Next, referring to FIG. 56 to FIG. 68, the operation device 5300 in the fifth embodiment We will explain about this.

[0335] In the first embodiment, the tilting device 31 is driven by vibrating the voice coil motor 352. The case where vibration is transmitted to the player who presses 0 has been described, but the fifth embodiment The operating device 5300 is provided with a lower frame member 5320 and a weight member 531 disposed at a position where the center of gravity is eccentric. The drive motor 5411 rotates the drive unit 412. The vibration is transmitted to the player who touches the lower frame member 5320. The same parts as those in the respective embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. 57, differences in configuration from the first embodiment will be described.

[0336] FIG. 56 is an exploded front perspective view of an operating device 5300 according to the fifth embodiment. 7 is an exploded rear perspective view of the operating device 5300.

[0337] As shown in FIG. 56 and FIG. 57, the operation device 5300 is the same as the operation device in the first embodiment. Compared with the device 300, the lower frame member 320 is replaced with a lower frame member 5320, and the driving device 340 The voice coil motor 35 is connected to the protective cover member 350. 2 is omitted. The tilting device 310 and the upper frame member 330 are configured similarly to those in the first embodiment. can be.

[0338] A vibration device 5400 having a drive motor 5411 is disposed on the lower frame member 5320. The drive unit 5340 is provided with a disk cam 5344 that is fixed to the transmission shaft rod 5343 with one touch. First, the vibration device 5400 will be described with reference to FIGS. 58 to 61, and then Next, the disk cam 5344 will be described.

[0339] FIG. 58 is an exploded front perspective view of the lower frame member 5320 and the vibration device 5400. As shown, the vibration device 5400 includes a transmission device 5412 that rotates a fan-shaped weight member 5412. 410, a transmission device 5410, and a drive motor 5411 for the transmission device 5410. The flexible member 5420 is made of a flexible material and has an open top and a bottomed dish shape. The weight member 5412 and the flexible member 5420 are housed in separate compartments, and the lower frame member 53 and a storage member 5430 fastened and fixed to the bottom plate portion 5321 of the storage unit 20.

[0340] The transmission device 5410 includes a drive motor 5411 formed of a rotary drive electric motor and an external The shape is fan-shaped, and the part corresponding to the core of the fan is supported on the rotating shaft of the drive motor 5411. and a weight member 5412 attached to the weight member 5412.

[0341] The drive motors 5411 are arranged in pairs on the left and right sides of the side from which the shafts protrude, and are made of metal. The fixing portion 5411a is formed in a flange shape from a material.

[0342] The weight member 5412 has a radius Ra and is eccentric to the rotation shaft of the drive motor 5411. Therefore, when the driving motor 5411 is driven to rotate, the weight member 5412 The center of gravity position fluctuates, and the drive motor 5411 is configured in such a way that it can vibrate.

[0343] The flexible member 5420 has a drive motor 5411 inserted in the axial direction. A main body 5421 is formed in a cylindrical container shape having a bottom on the opposite side to the side where the liquid is inserted, and In this embodiment, a pair of rib-shaped protruding members are provided on the left and right sides and the lower side of the main body 5421 in the radial direction. and rib-like legs 5422 protruding from the left and right sides of the open portion of the main body 5421. A posture maintaining portion 5423 which connects the legs 5422 and into which the fixing portion 5411a is embedded. A pair of protruding leg portions 5424 are provided in a columnar shape protruding upward from the upper surface of the main body portion 5421. , are mainly provided.

[0344] The main body 5421 has a container-shaped depth that is the same as the axial length of the drive motor 5411. Therefore, when the drive motor 5411 is fully inserted into the main body 5421, The end face of the shaft side of the drive motor 5411 and the end face of the opening side of the main body 5421 are formed on the same plane. In this state, the fixing portion 5411a is embedded in the position maintaining portion 5423. can be.

[0345] The rib-like leg portions 5422 are formed on the left and right sides and the lower side of the main body portion 5421. The left and right rib-like legs 5422 are spaced apart from the lower ribs by the amount of the posture maintaining portion 5423. The deformation resistance is greater than that of the leg portion 5422.

[0346] Since the protruding leg portion 5424 is protruding like a column, when it comes into contact with the tilting device 310 described later, Therefore, the load can be easily concentrated at one point. When the tilting device 310 is tilted to deform the flexible member 54, the tilting angle of the tilting device 310 is changed. The resolution of the deformation degree can be finer than 20.

[0347] In the assembled state, the housing member 5430 includes a drive motor 5411 and a flexible member 5420. A first receiving portion 5431 in which the weight member 5 is received and a weight member 5 The second storage section 5432 in which the first storage section 5431 and the second storage section 5432 are stored is also included. 432 and a recessed groove 5433 recessed downward from the upper surface on the connection surface of the .

[0348] The depth of the first storage portion 5431 is set so that the lower rib-like leg portion 5422 touches the bottom of the flexible member 54 When the load applied during insertion is released (assembly load released state), The depth from which the protruding leg portion 5424 protrudes is set.

[0349] The depth of the second accommodating portion 5432 is set to be smaller than the rotation trajectory of the weight member 5412 in the assembled load-released state. The depth is such that the player exerts a load on the protruding leg portion 5424, while the flexible portion is recessed outward. When the member 5420 is deformed (in an assembly load state), it interferes with the rotation trajectory of the weight member 5412. The depth is said to be

[0350] The width of the groove 5433 is slightly larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft of the drive motor 5411. The depth dimension is slightly lower than the rotation axis of the drive motor 5411 in the assembled loaded state. This is considered to be the extended dimension.

[0351] FIG. 59(a) is a side view of the lower frame member 5320, and FIG. 59(b) is a side view of the lower frame member 5320 of FIG. FIG. 59(c) is a partial cross-sectional view of the lower frame member 5320 taken along the line LIXb-LIXb. 59(a) is a partial top view of the lower frame member 5320 as viewed in the direction of the arrow LIXc. In FIG. 59(a), a portion corresponding to the vibration device 5400 is partially shown in cross section. In FIG. 59(a), when the tilting device 310 is in the first state, the tilting device 310 occupies The first region S51 is a region that is pushed in by the player three times from the first state, and the pushing A terminal region S52 which is a region occupied by the tilting device 310 when placed at the terminal position; Shown in phantom lines.

[0352] As shown in FIG. 59(a), the central axis of the arc of the lower bearing portion 323 is formed as the rotation axis. The protruding leg portion 5424 is provided in a protruding direction along the circular orbit. (See FIG. 56) to maximize the deformation of the protruding leg portion 5424 in response to the change in the angle. can.

[0353] As shown in FIG. 59(b), the protruding leg 5424 is not loaded, and the assembled load state is shown in FIG. In the removed state, the weight member 5412 is separated from the second receiving portion 5432 .

[0354] As shown in FIG. 59(c), the protruding leg portion 5424 is, when viewed in the extending direction, 5320. Therefore, the tilting device 310 Since the protruding legs 5424 can be pushed in evenly on the left and right sides at the bottom surface, the flexible member 5420 can be prevented from tilting to the left or right (tilting to the left or right on the paper surface of FIG. 59(b)). 59(b), the protruding leg portion 5424 can be pushed in while maintaining the position shown in FIG.

[0355] As shown in FIG. 59(c), the bottom plate portion 5321 of the lower frame member 5320 is provided with a protruding leg portion 5424. The through holes 5321d are formed on the left and right sides. Since the width of the protruding leg 5424 is slightly larger than the diameter of the protruding leg 5424, The tilting device 310 is pushed in by the player, and the lower surface of the tilting device 310 contacts the protruding leg portion 5424. When pressed, deformation of the protruding leg portion 5424 in the left-right direction can be suppressed. Therefore, deformation of the shape of the protruding leg portion 5424 is suppressed, and the protruding leg portion 5424 and the main body portion 5421 are can be easily translated downward (downward in FIG. 59(b)).

[0356] Fig. 60(a) and Fig. 60(b) show the vibration device in the LXa-LXa line of Fig. 59(a). 60(a) is a cross-sectional view of the 5400. Note that FIG. 60(a) illustrates the assembled load-released state, and FIG. In the state shown in FIG. 59(b), the tilting device 310 occupies the terminal region S52 (see FIG. 59(a)). In the assembly load after the protruding leg portion 5424 is pushed into the first receiving portion 5431, The outer shapes of the second receiving portion 5432 and the weight member 5412 are shown by imaginary lines. will be done.

[0357] As shown in FIG. 60(a) and FIG. 60(b), from the assembled load-released state, the vibration device 540 When a load is applied to the lower rib-like leg 5424 and the lower rib-like leg 5425, the load is applied to the lower rib-like leg 5425. As the actuator 422 is deformed, the drive motor 5411 and the weight member 5412 are displaced downward.

[0358] In the assembled load state, as shown in FIG. 60(b), the tilting device 310 (see FIG. 57) is pressed. The elastic recovery force of this deformation is The force acts to push back the tilting device 310 when the tilting device 310 approaches the flexible member 5420. Therefore, when the tilt device 310 is pushed to the end position, This can reduce the impact when 310 collides with the lower frame member 5320 (see FIG. 57). In addition, since the load is due to elastic restoring force, there is no time delay even when the tilting device 310 moves at high speed. This allows the load to be generated without any problem.

[0359] Here, in order to suppress the driving force of the driving motor 342 (see FIG. 57), the torsion spring 315 When the biasing force is suppressed, the tilting device 310 is in the first state (a state in which the tilting device 310 is disposed at the upper end, see FIG. 38 ). ) the lifting speed of the tilting device 310 after the tilting device 310 is pushed in becomes slower. In this case, even if the player repeatedly taps the tilt device 310, the tilt device 310 will not rise. It does not follow the player's hand movements, making it difficult to perform rapid-fire operations comfortably.

[0360] In contrast, according to the present embodiment, the elastic recovery force of the flexible member 5420 is effectively used. As a result, the tilting force is increased compared to when the tilting device 310 is raised only by the biasing force of the torsion spring 315. Since the speed at which the tilting device 310 rises can be improved, the repeated tapping operation of the tilting device 310 can be This can be done comfortably.

[0361] As shown in FIG. 60(a), in the assembled load-released state, the weight member 5412 has the following posture: Regardless of the above, the drive shaft 5431 does not come into contact with the inner wall of the second receiving portion 5432. Even if the driving motor 5411 starts to be driven, the weight member 5412 and the second receiving portion 5432 come into contact with each other. No vibration is caused by this.

[0362] In addition, the drive motor 5411 itself vibrates, and the center of gravity of the weight member 5412 moves, causing the drive motor The micro vibrations occurring in 5411 are absorbed by the flexibility of the flexible member 5420, and the housing member 543 0 is prevented. This allows the player to set the timing for starting the drive motor 5411. This can make it difficult to understand the

[0363] As shown in FIG. 60(b), in the assembled load state, the main body portion 542 of the flexible member 5420 1, the upper protruding leg portion 5424 and the lower rib-shaped leg portion 5422 are deformed, so that the It is constructed in such a way that displacement is permitted.

[0364] When the flexible member 5420 moves downward, the rib-like leg portion disposed on the lower side of the main body portion 5421 The state of 5422 changes to a more vertically compressed state, and the ribbed legs 5422 become slightly stiffer. Therefore, the vibration damping effect of the rib-like leg portion 5422 can be weakened, and the vibration The vibrations generated by the device 5400 can be easily transmitted to the player.

[0365] The main body 5421 of the flexible member 5420 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the lower rib-like leg portion 54 22 is extended along the axial direction of the cylinder of the main body 5421 and is uniformly spaced from the central axis to the left and right. Since the flexible member 5420 is disposed in a pair on the left and right sides at a distance, the ribs The radially outer ends of the rib-shaped legs 5422 are arranged outwardly to the left and right (between the main body 5421 and the rib-shaped legs 5422). The deformation occurs in such a way that the resistance moves to the side where the resistance is smaller at the connection position (see FIG. 60(b)). In this case, the protruding direction of the rib-like leg portion 5422 arranged on the lower side of the main body portion 5421 is the left-right direction. Since the elasticity of the rib-like leg portion 5422 is increased, the elasticity of the rib-like leg portion 5422 can be increased in the left and right directions. Therefore, in the assembled load state, the weight member 5421 and the second housing portion 5432 collide with each other. The load in the left and right direction that may occur when the main body 5421 is attached is borne by the rib-like legs 54 The elastic force of the drive motor 5411 can partially absorb the force. It is possible to suppress positional deviation in the left-right direction.

[0366] Figures 61(a) and 61(b) show the transmission along the LIXb-LIXb line in Figure 59(a). 5 is a cross-sectional view of the device 5410 and the containing member 5430. FIG.

[0367] In Fig. 61(a) and Fig. 61(b), the assembled load state is illustrated. In Fig. 61(a), The state in which the center of gravity of the member 5412 is disposed above the rotation axis is illustrated. 6, the center of gravity of the weight member 5412 is disposed below the rotation axis. In FIG. 61(a) and FIG. 61(b), the tilting device 310 is pushed by the player and reaches the end region S52. 5 shows the vibration device 5400 in an occupying state.

[0368] The operation of the transmission device 5410 based on the rotation of the weight member 5412 will be described. In this embodiment, when the center of gravity of the weight member 5412 is located on the upper side in the assembled load state, the second collection The rotation shaft of the drive motor 5411 is disposed at a position where the distance from the lower bottom of the container 5432 is a distance Q1. In this embodiment, the distance Q1 is equal to the radius Ra of the weight member 5412. The correct distance is then determined (Q1=Ra).

[0369] That is, when the weight member 5412 rotates in the assembled load state, the outer peripheral side surface of the weight member 5412 comes into contact with the second receiving portion 543. Therefore, the rotation of the weight member 5412 is smaller than that in the assembly load-released state. The vibrations produced by the rotation can vary, allowing different types of vibrations to be conveyed to the player.

[0370] When the weight member 5412 comes into contact with the second housing portion 5432, a repulsive force is generated. A force is generated that moves the weight member 5412 upward (upward in FIG. 61(b)). The second receiving portion 5432 moves toward and away from the tilting device 310 (see FIG. 57) in the moving direction. Therefore, the direction of the repulsive force can be easily directed in the direction along the moving direction of the tilting device 310 (upward). This repulsive force causes the flexible member 5412 to move together with the driving motor 5411 supporting the weight member 5412. 420 moves upward, and the flexible member 5420 moves toward the tilting device 310 (see FIG. 57). ) in the direction along the movement direction of the tilting device 310. Cut.

[0371] In this way, the force pushing the tilting device 310 (see FIG. 57) upward is generated by the flexible member 542. The force generated as the elastic recovery force of 0 and the contact between the weight member 5412 and the second housing portion 5432 The tilting device 310 is configured by a combination of separately generated forces. The pushing force can be adjusted.

[0372] That is, the tilting device 310 starts to abut against the protruding leg portion 5424 and then the end region S52 (FIG. 59 The elastic restoring force of the flexible member 5420 pushes the tilting device 310 until the tilting device 310 moves toward the tilting direction (see (a)). After the tilting device 310 reaches the end region S52, the weight member 5412 The repulsive force between the second receiving portion 5432 and the tilting device 310 is added to the force pushing back the tilting device 310. As a result, the force pushing back the tilting device 310 is particularly increased near the end region S52. Therefore, the tilting device 310 can be easily operated and the impact caused by the pushing operation can be reduced. This adjustment can be performed while maintaining the rotation of the drive motor 5411. This makes it possible to eliminate the need for complex control.

[0373] In this embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the length of the left detection piece 311gL and the length of the right detection piece The length of the 311gR is different (see Figure 57), and the tilt mounting is performed due to the difference in detection timing. Whether the operating speed of the device 310 (see FIG. 57) is greater than a certain speed (e.g., 40 km / h) The position of the weight member 5412 is changed depending on the determined operating speed. is.

[0374] For example, if it is determined that the operating speed of the tilt device 310 is greater than a certain speed, the tilt device In order to cushion the impact when the device 310 hits the lower frame member 5320, a flexible member 5420 is provided. It is desired to increase the load applied to the tilting device 310. If it is determined that the operating speed of the tilting device 310 is greater than a specific speed, the weight member 5412 is operated so that it faces downward (see FIG. 61(b)).

[0375] As a result, the end of the downward movement of the drive motor 5411 is reached when its rotation shaft reaches the second storage section 543. The lower end of the inner wall of 2 can be raised to a position that is a radius Ra above the upper end. When the weight member 5432 is disposed facing upward (see FIG. 61(a)), The upper side of the drive motor 5411 is more flexible than in the state where the drive motor 5411 can be lowered downward from the The movable area of ​​the member 5420 can be narrowed in the vertical direction.

[0376] That is, when the protruding leg portion 5424 is pushed down by the tilting device 310 by the same amount, Increasing the compressed dimension of the portion of the material 5420 above the drive motor 5411. Therefore, the repulsive force applied from the flexible member 5420 to the tilting device 310 can be increased. Therefore, the load for braking the tilting device 310 can be increased.

[0377] Although not described in this embodiment, the drive motor 5411 may be rotated upward while stopped. (See FIG. 61(a)). By doing so, the force pushing back the tilting device 310 is The force is generated by the elastic recovery force, and the force is generated by the contact between the weight member 5412 and the second housing portion 5432. You can also prevent this from happening.

[0378] Here, the abutment of the members is performed by the transmission device 5410 and the receiving portion fastened and fixed to the lower frame member 5320. The force is generated between the member 5430 and the tilting device 310. Therefore, the vibration transmitted to the player's hand when pushing the tilting device 310 is changed, and the vibration The transmission range can be expanded. That is, the transmission range can be expanded to the area other than the area touching the tilting device 310, e.g. Vibrations can also be transmitted to the parts of the penis machine 10 that are in contact with the frame.

[0379] That is, when the player pushes in the tilting device 310, the vibration is transmitted to the lower frame member 5320. Since the lower frame member 5320 can be pushed in, the palm of the hand is placed on the lower frame member 5320 as a fulcrum for pushing. Vibrations can be transmitted to the player through the side of the hand or the hand. This makes it possible to avoid a situation in which vibration is not transmitted to the

[0380] As shown in FIG. 61(a) and FIG. 61(b), a player tilts the tilt device 310 (see FIG. 56) Only when the vibration device 5400 forms an assembled load state by pressing the weight member 5 When 412 and the containing member 5430 come into contact with each other, vibration is generated.

[0381] Therefore, even if the drive motor 5411 is rotated in advance, the vibration is transmitted to the player. The timing at which the tilting device 310 is reached can be limited to the timing at which the tilting device 310 is pressed. Therefore, compared to when vibration is generated after detecting the player's pressing operation, This makes it easier to communicate the movement to the player.

[0382] That is, the player pushes in the tilting device 310 and then releases it immediately (pulse-like push). When the tilting device 310 detects that the tilting device 310 has been pushed in, If vibrations were generated from the moment the player released the device, the vibrations would not be generated before the player released the device. There is a risk that the vibration will not start in time, and the player will not be able to experience the vibration effects. In contrast, in this embodiment, the driving motor is set in advance before the tilting device 310 is pushed in. The motor 5411 is rotating and is ready to generate vibration, so the tilt device 310 is pushed in and At the same time, vibrations can be transmitted. This allows players to experience the effects of vibrations. It is possible.

[0383] In addition, due to the flexibility of the flexible member 5420, the vibration of the main body of the driving motor 5411 is prevented from being transmitted to the first housing 5411. Therefore, the torque can be prevented from being transmitted to the drive motor 5411 in advance. Even if the tilting device 310 is driven, vibrations are transmitted to the player before the tilting device 310 is pushed in. This can prevent the above from happening.

[0384] Therefore, the state where the vibration is transmitted by pushing the tilting device 310 is called the driving mode. This can be achieved by driving the actuator 5411 in advance before the tilting device 310 is pressed. can be done.

[0385] Next, the driving device 5340 will be described. In the first embodiment of the driving device 5340, The difference between this drive unit and the drive unit 340 is the disk cam 5344 and the transmission shaft rod 5343. The rest of the configuration is the same as the drive device 340 of the first embodiment, so the same reference numerals are used and the description is omitted. .

[0386] 62 is an exploded front perspective view of the drive unit 5340. As shown in FIG. The center of a pair of disc cams 5344 consisting of right disc cam 5344L and right disc cam 5344R In the end, a long hole recess C1 is formed.

[0387] FIG. 63(a) is a front perspective view of the right disc cam 5344R, and FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view of the right disc cam 5344R. Since the right disc cam 5344R and the left disc cam 5344R are symmetrical, only the right disc cam 5344R will be explained. A description of the disk cam 5344L will be omitted.

[0388] The right disc cam 5344R is different from the right disc cam 344R in the first embodiment in that A pair of clamping arms A1 are disposed at the connecting portion with the transmission shaft rod 5343 to clamp the transmission shaft rod 5343. This is what is done.

[0389] That is, the right disc cam 5344R is connected at its center position to the circular rib 344 from the disc portion. A support cylinder portion P1 is provided extending in a cylindrical shape toward the side where b is provided, and a support cylinder portion P1 is provided along the axial direction of the support cylinder portion P1. The recessed portion is recessed from the disk portion in an axially symmetrical long hole shape to a position about half the extension distance. C1, and the axial end of the support cylinder portion P1 recessed by the long hole recess C1 and a pair of clamping arms A1 extending along the circumference of the support member 11 toward the disk portion.

[0390] The inner diameter of the support cylinder portion P1 is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical member 5343a of the transmission shaft rod 5343. The support cylinder portion P1 is a portion that supports the cylindrical member 5343a by being inserted into the support cylinder portion P1. The area is the same in axial arrangement as the area recessed in the long hole recess C1. The deformed portion P1a remains undeformed.

[0391] The deformed portion P1a is a pair of connecting rod portions arranged on either side of the long hole recess C1, and is When the cam 5344R is deformed by axial inclination with respect to the transmission shaft rod 5343 (see FIG. 62), the cam 5344R is deformed elastically. It is configured as part of the

[0392] The elongated recess C1 has a cross-sectional shape with a width dimension slightly longer than the width dimension of the clamping arm A1. Therefore, the clamping arm A1 is configured to be in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the cross section of the long hole recess C1 ( The movable member is configured to be displaceable in a longitudinal direction.

[0393] In addition, the opposing surface of the long hole recess C1 is a D-shaped portion of the fixing portion 5343a1 of the cylindrical member 5343a. It is made up of a shape that fits into a shape. That is, one side is made of a flat surface and the other side is made of a is formed in an arc shape that follows the outer shape of the cylindrical member 5343a. 343a can be prevented from rotating relative to the disc cam 5344.

[0394] The clamping arm A1 is formed in a pair of arms, and the surfaces of the arms facing each other are as follows: The engaging protrusion A1a is provided so as to protrude in a direction approaching the arm of the other side. When the transmission shaft rod 5343 is connected, the cylindrical member 5343a engages with the tip of the cylindrical member 5343a. The member 5343 a is prevented from coming off the disk cam 5344 .

[0395] The shape of the tip of the engaging protrusion A1a is the same as that of the engaging groove 5343a of the cylindrical member 5343a (see FIG. 64). It is composed of a shape that matches the arc shape of 4. This allows the tip shape to be flat or In comparison with the case where the center is a convex curved surface, the engaging protrusion A1a fits into the engaging groove 5343a4. Ensure that the radial overlap length (left-right length in Figure 65(b)) is long when engaged. It is possible.

[0396] The engaging protrusion A1a has a side surface adjacent to the connecting pin 344d in the axial direction. A concave surface portion C2 (long hole concave portion) is provided on the side surface of the cylinder 5344R near the axis and along the axis. The side surface of the opening of the portion C1 is disposed in a position where the side surface of the opening of the portion C1 is flush with the opening of the portion C2.

[0397] As a result, the engagement between the cylindrical member 5343a and the engagement protrusion A1a is supported by the recessed surface C2. The process can be completed on the side of the barrel P1 (the lower side in FIG. 63(b)) (see FIG. 65(b)). Therefore, the e-ring is attached to the cylindrical member 5343a on the outside of the recessed surface portion C2 (upper side in FIG. 63(b)). The length of the cylindrical member 5343a protruding from the recessed surface portion C2 is set to be, It can be shortened by the thickness of the e-ring (see Figure 65(b)).

[0398] Also, there is a space for fitting the e-ring (to place the e-ring on the surface and slide it). The space required for the right disc cam 5344R must be secured in the direction of its extension (parallel to the surface). Since this is not necessary, the recessed area (radial area) of the recessed surface portion C2 can be made small. This improves the degree of freedom in designing the shape of the right disc cam 5344R.

[0399] The transmission shaft rod 5343 will be described with reference to FIG. 64. FIG. 1 is a front exploded perspective view of a transmission shaft rod 5343 and a transmission shaft rod 353 in the first embodiment. The difference is the cylindrical member 5343a.

[0400] The cylindrical member 5343a has a D-shaped cross section that fixes the disk cam 5344 formed at both ends. The fixing portion 5343a1 on the left side in front view is fitted into the fitting groove 5343a3. The clutch actuator 5343 has a D-shaped cross section formed with the same cross section as the fixed portion 5343a1. The working portion 5343a2 is a groove into which the e-ring is fitted, and the e-ring is used to form the disk cam 534 4 in the axial direction, and a fitting groove 5343a3 that fits into the fitting groove 5343a3. When the disk cam 5344 is inserted until it reaches the e-ring, the clamping arm A1 The engaging protrusion A1a engages with the engaging groove 5343a4. 5343a3 is a pair of plates in which the shaft support holes 341b are formed in an assembled state. is placed to the side.

[0401] The clutch operating portion 5343a2 is inserted into the angle fixing hole 343c1 of the movable clutch 343c. In the assembled state, the movable clutch is biased by the biasing force of the coil spring 343d. The switch 343c is the part that performs the sliding movement.

[0402] By fitting the e-ring into the fitting groove 5343a3 later, the diameter of the cylindrical member 5343a is changed. The mechanism that forms the part that becomes larger by the e-ring is adopted, so the e-ring Before being fitted, the diameter of the columnar member 5343a can be made uniform.

[0403] With the diameter being uniform, the cylindrical member 5343a is inserted into the shaft support hole 341b (see FIG. 62) in a predetermined position. Then, the e-ring is inserted, so that the e-ring fits the shaft support hole 341b. The cylindrical member 5343a is prevented from being displaced in the axial direction, and furthermore, the e-ring is used to hold the cylindrical member 5343a in place. This makes it possible to prevent the plate cam 5344 from being displaced in the axial direction.

[0404] Due to the above-mentioned configuration of the disc cam 5344 and the transmission shaft rod 5343, the disc cam 5344 The disc cam 5344 can be attached to the transmission shaft rod 5343 with a single touch. When assembling the transmission shaft rod 5343, the cylindrical member 5343a is supported by the support of the disc cam 5344. The engaging groove 5 is formed on the end of the holding cylinder P1 opposite to the end on which the engaging protrusion A1a is disposed. The engaging protrusion A1a is inserted into the engaging groove 5343a4. Before the engaging protrusion A1a is inserted into the cylindrical member 5343a, the tip of the cylindrical member 5343a is engaged. By getting between the protrusions A1a, the pair of engaging protrusions A1a are pushed apart from each other. The clamping arm A1 is elastically deformed in such a manner that the tip of the cylindrical member 5343a contacts the engaging protrusion 5343b. When the engaging protrusion A1a passes the engaging groove 5343a4, the engaging protrusion A1a and the engaging groove 5343a4 are disposed opposite each other. As the clamping arm A1a fits into the engagement groove 5343a4, the clamping arm A1 elastically recovers and returns to its original shape. The plate cam 5344 and the transmission shaft rod 5343 are assembled (see FIG. 65(b)).

[0405] On the other hand, the configuration of the disk cam 5344 and the transmission shaft rod 5343 is not simply a one-touch assembly. In this embodiment, it also functions as a structure for preventing destruction. The following description will be given with reference to FIG.

[0406] FIG. 65(a) is a front view of the right disc cam 5344R as viewed in the direction of the arrow LXVa in FIG. FIG. 65(b) shows the right disc cam 53 along the line LXVb-LXVb in FIG. 65(a). 65(c) is a cross-sectional view of the 44R, taken along the line LXVc-LXVc in FIG. 65(a). FIG. 66(a) is a cross-sectional view of the right disc cam 5344R. FIG. 66(b) is a front view of the right disc cam 5344R in the forward direction, and FIG. 66(a) is a front view of the right disc cam 5344R in the forward direction. 13 is a cross-sectional view of the right disc cam 5344R taken along line XVIb-LXVIb. FIG.

[0407] In FIG. 66, the right disc cam 5344R in the unloaded state shown in FIG. The right disc cam 5344R is shown after deformation when an engineer applies an overload.

[0408] As shown in FIG. 65 and FIG. 66, in this embodiment, the cylindrical member 5343a is a right disc The cam 5344R is supported by the extended tip end portion of the support cylinder portion P1 at a position separated from the disk portion of the cam 5344R. In the vicinity of the disk portion, only the engaging protrusion A1a engages with the engaging groove 5343a4. Therefore, when an overload is applied to the cylindrical member 5343a or the right disc cam 5344R, The member 5343a is in a state in which it can be tilted about its axis, using the extended tip portion of the supporting tube portion P1 as an axis.

[0409] As shown in FIG. 65(b), in the direction in which the pair of clamping arms A1 face each other, there is a slotted recess C1. Since the space is provided, the resistance to the axial tilt displacement of the columnar member 5343a is small. As shown in FIG. 65(c), in the direction in which the support cylinder portion P1 and the connecting pin 344d are connected, The cylindrical member 5343a and the right disc cam 5344R are disposed in the axial direction of the right disc cam 5344R. Since the cylindrical member 5343a comes into contact with the support 5343, the resistance to the axial tilt displacement of the cylindrical member 5343a increases.

[0410] Therefore, if the player forcibly holds down (pulls up) the tilt device 310, When a load is applied to the right disc cam 5344R (through the arm member 345 (see FIG. 62) When a load is applied to restrict the displacement of the connecting pin 344d, the cylindrical member 5343a This makes it possible to restrict the direction in which the right disc cam 5344R deforms.

[0411] That is, the right disc cam 5344R is deformed in the direction of the smallest resistance, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 66(a) and FIG. 66(b), when an overload is applied to the right disc cam 5344R, A support that connects the connecting pin 344d and the center of the support cylinder portion P1 on a plane parallel to the surface of the disk portion. The disk portion is deformed by tilting around the axis r1. The position is, compared to the position shown in FIG. 65(a), along the circumferential direction of the right disc cam 5344R, Displacement.

[0412] FIG. 67(a) shows an operating device on a line corresponding to the line XXII-XXII in FIG. FIG. 67(b) is a cross-sectional view of the gas 5300 as viewed in the direction of the arrow LXVIIb in FIG. 67(a). 67(b) is a partial rear view of the operation device 5300 in the embodiment. The device 350 is not shown in the figure, and the disk cam 5344, the arm member 345 and the release portion In FIG. 67(a), only the right disc 346 is shown for ease of understanding. The external shape of the cam 5344R when it is inserted perpendicularly into the transmission shaft 5343 is shown in solid lines. The outline of the shaft when overloaded and tilted is shown in phantom lines.

[0413] FIG. 67(a) illustrates the second state of the tilt device 310 and the tilt device 310. The hand of the player holding the ball is shown, and the state around the connecting pin 344d is shown in an enlarged manner. will be done.

[0414] In the state shown in FIG. 67(a), when the drive motor 342 (see FIG. 62) starts to operate, The left disc cam 5344L is about to start rotating, but the player is asked to control the displacement of the tilt device 310. Therefore, the arm member 345 will try to stay in place and try to rotate. A load is generated between the left disc cam 5344L and the connecting pin 344d of the left disc cam 5344L. Since the right disc cam 5344R can undergo the above-mentioned axial tilt deformation, the load is reduced. It is possible to achieve harmony.

[0415] In FIG. 67(a), the outer shape of the right disc cam 5344R after the shaft tilt deformation is shown by imaginary lines. The change in the connection state with the arm member 345 due to the shaft tilt deformation is shown in the enlarged view. He explains.

[0416] In FIG. 67(a), the drive motor 342 (see FIG. 62) starts to operate. When the outer circumference of the disk cam 5344R rotates clockwise by the dimension Rd, The shaft support hole 345a of the arm member 345 and the connecting pin 344d are misaligned, In order to absorb this, the right disc cam 5344R is caused to deform due to axial inclination.

[0417] Due to the shaft inclination deformation, the connecting pin 344d inclines in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. Therefore, the center Pb of the base side of the connecting pin 344d and the center Pt of the protruding tip side are aligned to the right. The position of the right disc cam 5344R is shifted in the circumferential direction. The positional deviation between the connecting pin 344d and the arm member 345 due to the rotation of the dimension Rd of 4R is partially corrected. Therefore, while the tilt device 310 is being held, the drive motor 342 ( 62) is driven, the load applied to the drive motor 342 can be reduced. can.

[0418] As shown in FIG. 67(b), the disk cam 5344 is deformed by axial inclination. 5344 and the release member 346 come into contact with each other. The driving force of the drive motor 342 is consumed by the frictional force generated between the drive motor 342 and the cam 5344. When the player drives the drive motor 342 while holding the tilt device 310, In this case, the disc cam 5344 and the tilting device 310 are connected to the arm member 345. The load can be reduced.

[0419] As shown in FIG. 67(a), the disk cam 5344 rotates in the backward direction (arrow CW direction). In this case, the release member 346 is pushed upward by frictional force, but the release member 346 is pushed upward by the first The elastic force of the second spring SP2 acts on the disk cam 5344 via the release member 346. In this case, the rotation claw member 347 is prevented from moving by the bottom plate portion 5321 and stops. The state of the first spring SP1 does not change (the elastic force does not change).

[0420] On the other hand, when the disc cam 5344 rotates in the forward direction (the CCW direction of the arrow, see FIG. 68), The release member 346 is pushed downward by frictional force, but the first spring is pushed downward in a direction that repels the frictional force. The elastic force of the ring SP1 is applied to the disc cam 5344 via the release member 346 and the rotary claw member 347. In this case, the relative positional relationship between the rotary claw member 347 and the release member 346 changes. Therefore, the state of the second spring SP2 does not change (the elastic force does not change).

[0421] Therefore, the release member 346 and the disk cam 5344 come into contact with each other, and the operating direction of the disk cam 5344 When the release member 346 operates along the first axis, the first rotation of the disc cam 5344 is not affected by the rotation direction of the disc cam 5344. The elastic force of either the spring SP1 or the second spring SP2, the disk cam 5344 This can increase the elastic force acting on the disc cam 5344 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the disc cam 5344. This allows the load applied by the release member 346 to the disk cam 5344 to be increased. Since the consumption of the driving force of the driving motor 342 can be increased, the arm member 34 The load applied to the disk cam 5344 can be reduced regardless of the direction of rotation of the disk cam 5344.

[0422] In this embodiment, the right disc cam 5344R passes through the connecting pin 344d and the center point. Since the shape is formed in line symmetry with respect to the line (a line passing through the connecting pin 344d and the center point) Since the long hole recess C1 extends in the vertical direction, the right disc cam 5344R rotates in the same direction regardless of the direction of rotation. Regardless of the direction of the misalignment of the connecting pin 344d with respect to the arm member 345, the right disc The cam 5344R can be deformed by axial tilting with a similar deformation resistance.

[0423] FIG. 68(a) shows an operating device on a line corresponding to the line XXII-XXII in FIG. FIG. 68(b) is a cross-sectional view of the gas 5300 as viewed in the direction of the arrow LXVIIIb in FIG. 68(a). 68(b) is a partial rear view of the operating device 5300 in FIG. In order to facilitate understanding, the device 350 is not shown in FIG. The outer shape of the right disc cam 5344R when it is inserted perpendicularly into the transmission shaft 5343 is shown in solid lines. The outer shape of the shaft when overloaded is shown in phantom lines.

[0424] In FIG. 68(a), the tilting device 310 is in the second state and is driven by the drive motor 342 (see FIG. 62). 3, the drive motor 342 is driven to tilt the camera downward by an angle D2. A player's hand is shown gripping the tilt device 310 midway through.

[0425] As shown in FIG. 68(a), when the player tilts the tilt device 310 during the operation of the tilt device 310, When gripping, regardless of whether the tilting device 310 is in the second state or not, the right disk cam 5344 The tip of the connecting pin 344d is displaced in the circumferential direction of the right disc cam 5344R due to the inclination of the shaft of R. This allows the force generated between the arm member 345 and the right disc cam 5344R to be This reduces the load on the drive motor 342. can be done.

[0426] The matters described for the right disc cam 5344R also apply to the left disc cam 5344L. This is an applicable item.

[0427] As shown in FIG. 67(b) and FIG. 68(b), according to this embodiment, the tilting device 310 When the drive motor 342 (see FIG. 62) operates while the player is holding it, and an overload occurs, The right disc cam 5344R tilts in the axial direction.

[0428] Therefore, by detecting the degree of tilting in the axial direction, it is possible to prevent overload. That is, for example, according to the configuration of the first embodiment, the driving motor 34 2 is driven for a period during which the right disc cam 344R rotates once, the detection hole 3 of the right disc cam 344R 44eR passes through the right detection sensor 353R, but the player is not holding the tilt device 310. When the right disc cam 344R is rotated, the right disc cam 344R does not rotate even if the drive motor 342 is rotated. The detection hole 344eR does not pass through the right detection sensor 353R, and the entrance to the right detection sensor 353R An overload is detected because the force does not change.

[0429] In this case, the right disc cam 3 is rotated in a state where no overload occurs before the occurrence of the overload is detected. Since it takes time for the 44R to rotate a certain angle, overload detection is delayed. There was a problem.

[0430] In contrast, according to the present embodiment, an overload occurs in the right disc cam 5344R. When the 5344R tilts in the axial direction (see Figure 66(b)), the occurrence of an overload is detected. Therefore, the occurrence of an overload can be detected at an early stage. As a method, for example, the engaging rib 344 is inserted between the support tube portion P1 and the engaging rib 344c. 4c (shown in phantom lines in FIG. 66(a)). .

[0431] The notification device E1 is a detection device that outputs a signal when an object touches an input unit. Therefore, a pair of the clamping arms A1 are arranged at a position where the straight line connecting the clamping arms A1 and the engaging rib 344c intersect. In addition, the input portion is disposed in a manner that protrudes toward the support cylinder portion P1. In the overload state, the alarm device E1 and the support cylinder portion P1 are separated from each other (see FIG. 65(b)). The notification device E1 and the support cylinder portion P1 are formed in contact with each other (see FIG. 66(b)). As a result, by judging the output from the alarm device E1, it is possible to determine whether an overload has occurred in the disc cam 5344. This makes it possible to quickly determine whether or not

[0432] Next, referring to FIG. 69 to FIG. 73, the operation device 6300 in the sixth embod...
