Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of configuring a state in which operation means is concealed and a state in which it is exposed.SOLUTION: Since a game machine is configured so as to execute a first performance when a second detection sensor SSC2 performs detection on the basis of predetermined operation executed in a mode for switching from a concealed state to an exposed state and further change to a second performance in continuous execution of operation to a second operation member S320, it can increase a sense of expectation toward operation of the second operation member S320 regardless of whether an operation member S310 is in a concealed state or an exposed state (operation of the second operation member S320 based on operation of a mode for switching the operation member S310 from a concealed state to an exposed state can be executed even if the operation member S310 is in a concealed state, and a sense of expectation toward promotion of the operation can be increased). Thus, a state for concealing the operation means and a state for exposing it can be configured suitably.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 457

[Form for implementing the invention]

[0013] 可以上这然方法可以上这然方法。 hereinafter will be described with reference to the attached drawings. First, referring to Figures 1 to 10, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter simply referred to as a "pachinko machine") H10 will be described as the first embodiment.

In FIG. 6, the rear side opening H172 for throwing the ball from the firing position throw unit H170 to the ball launch unit H112a is illustrated by a two-dot chain line.

[0015] In the following description, the front side of the pachinko machine H10 in the state shown in FIG. 1 is the front side of the paper as the front side (front side) and the back side of the paper as the rear side (back side). Furthermore, the description will be made regarding the pachinko machine H10 in the state shown in FIG. 1 as the upper side (upper side), the lower side as the lower side as the lower side, the right side as the right (right) side, and the left side as the left (left) side. Furthermore, the arrows U-D, L-R, and F-B in the figure (see, for example, FIG. 1) indicate the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the front and rear directions of the pachinko machine H10, respectively.

[0016] Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the player playing the pachinko machine H10 will play in a state where he is located on the front side of the pachinko machine H10 (the side of the arrow F direction) and his eyes are facing the back side of the pachinko machine H10 (the side of the arrow B direction) (confronting the front side of the pachinko machine H10).

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 to 9, the pachinko machine H10 mainly includes an outer frame H11 in which an outer shell is formed by a wooden frame combined with a substantially rectangular shape, an inner frame H12 formed in an outer shape that is substantially the same as the outer frame H11 and supported in an outer frame H11 so that it can be opened and closed, and a front frame H14 formed in an outer shape that is substantially the same as the inner frame H12 and supported in an inner frame H12.

[0018] To support the inner frame H12, metal hinges H18 are attached to two places on the left side (in the direction of arrow L) (in the direction of arrow U-D) as the front view (see FIG. 1), and the inner frame H12 is supported along with the front frame H14 so as to be openable and closed to the front side (in the direction of arrow F) on the side where the hinge H18 is provided.

[0019] The pachinko machine H10 is installed in the amusement stadium by attaching and fixing the outer frame H11 to the island equipment. In the pachinko machine H10, the outer frame H11 is not an essential configuration, but may have the same interior shape as the outer frame H11 or the outer frame H11, and may have a member having an inner frame H12 support structure (hinge H18, etc.) and a locking structure of the outer frame H11 may be provided in the playground.

[0020] The outer frame H11 is formed into a frame shape by combining an upper plate H11a disposed on the upper side (the side of the arrow U direction), a lower plate H11b disposed on the lower side (the side of the arrow D direction), and a left plate H11c and a right plate H11d that connect both the left and right ends of the upper plate H11a and the lower plate H11b in the vertical direction.

[0021] The outer frame H11 is not limited to ones formed of wood, but may be made of metal materials such as aluminum or resinous materials such as plastic, or may be formed by combining these wood, metal materials, or members (upper plate H11a, lower plate H11b, left plate H11c, right plate H11d).

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the hinge H18 is attached to the left side of the outer frame H11 as seen in the front (the side of the arrow L) of the outer frame H11, and the right side of the inner frame H12 as seen in the front (the side of the arrow R) can be opened and closed to the front (the side of the arrow F) with respect to the outer frame H11, but the hinge H18 may be attached to the right side of the outer frame H11, and the left side of the inner frame H12 as seen in the front can be opened and closed to the front with respect to the outer frame H11, and the hinge H18 may be attached to both ends of the lower side of the outer frame H11 (the side of the arrow D) (the side of the arrow L-R) of the outer frame H11, and the upper side of the inner frame H12 as seen in the front (the side of the arrow U) can be opened and closed to the front with respect to the outer frame H11.

[0023] The inner frame H12 is formed mainly with a frame forming unit H12a, which has a rectangular shape that is almost the same outer shape as the outer frame H11, and a backpack unit H94 that is rotatably supported on the back side (arrow B direction side) of the frame forming unit H12a, and the backpack unit H94 is rotatably supported on the back side (arrow L direction side) when viewed in front, with the left side (arrow L direction side) as the rotary base end side (open / close base end side) and the right side (arrow R direction side) as the rotary tip side (open / close tip side) as the rotary tip side (open / close tip side) as the rotary tip side (open / close tip side) as the rotary (refer to FIG. 4).

[0024] Furthermore, the inner frame H12 is provided with a game board H13 (see FIG. 6 and FIG. 7) having a large number of nails, prize openings H63, H64, etc., inside the frame forming unit H12a and the backpack unit H94 open in a generally box-like shape, with the front side (in the direction of arrow F) open. A ball (game ball) flows down the front of this game board H13 to play a ball.

[0025] Incidentally, the frame forming unit H12a of the inner frame H12 has a left end support portion H12a1 for supporting the left end of the game board H13, and a board support device H12a2 for supporting the right end of the game board H13 are arranged in the upper and lower corners of the inner surface on the left side (in the direction of the arrow L) with the board support device H12a2 for supporting the right end of the game board H13. The game board H13 is fixed to the inside frame H12 by inserting the left end of the base plate H60 into the left end support portion H12a1 and pushing it into the back side of the inner frame H12 (the side of the arrow B direction), and then the board support device H12a2 is operated to engage the front side of the base plate H60 (supports the front side of the base plate H60), thereby being fixed inside the inner frame H12.

[0026] Furthermore, the frame forming unit H12a of the inner frame H12 is formed mainly with a ball firing unit H112a (see FIG. 6) that fires a ball into the front region (play area) of the game board H13, and a dish passage forming member H160 that throws the ball into the front frame H14 (upper and lower plate unit H15).

[0027] Furthermore, in the frame forming unit H12a of the inner frame H12, metal hinges H19 are attached to the two upper and lower positions on the left side of the front view (in the direction of arrow L) to support the front frame H14, and the front frame H14 is supported on the side where the hinges H19 are provided as the opening and closing shaft so that they can be opened and closed to the front side (in the direction of arrow F) (see FIG. 5). The locking of the inner frame H12 and the locking of the front frame H14 are respectively released by inserting a special key into the keyhole H21 of the cylinder lock H20 disposed in the frame forming unit H12a and performing a prescribed operation.

[0028] The ball launching unit H112a is formed to be able to accept balls that are thrown one by one at a specified timing from the upper plate H17 via the firing position throwing unit H170, and is formed mainly with a firing rail H112a1 extending in the direction of the ball's throwing ball to the game board H13 (inner rail H61 and outer rail H62), a rotary body H112a2 that is rotatably supported and can be rotated and abutted against the ball that is fed onto the firing rail H112a1, and a drive motor (not shown) for rotating the rotating body H112a2.

[0029] The ball is fired (throwed) from the ball launch unit H112a to the upper side of the game board H13 (the arrow U-direction side) by rotating the rotor H112a2 to collide with the ball thrown on the fire rail H112a1.

[0030] In this embodiment, although the ball is fired (throwed) from the ball firing unit H112a by the rotating rotating body H112a2, the structure for firing the ball is not limited to the rotating member (rotator H112a2). For example, it may be configured such that a slide body that can be slidably displaced in the direction of firing of a sphere and a solenoid that displaces the slide body by excitation of the solenoid, and that the sphere is fired (throwed) by displacing the slide body by colliding with the sphere.

[0031] Furthermore, the ball launching unit H112a is not limited to one disposed in the inner frame H12, and can also be disposed (in the game board H13) on the back side (in the arrow B direction) of the base plate H60 as a performance device for the pachinko machine H10. For example, the ball may be thrown from the openings opened in the center frame H86 or the base plate H60 onto the firing rail H112a1 disposed on the rear side of the base plate H60, and the ball may be fired by the rotor H112a2, and the ball passes through the front side of the third pattern display device H81.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 6, the dish passage forming member H160 has an upper dish passage portion H161 on the main body side and a lower dish passage portion H162 on the main body side. The main body side upper dish passage portion H161 and the main body side lower dish passage portion H162 are opened toward the rear side (arrow B direction) so that the end portion on the back side (arrow B direction) can communicate with the through hole penetrating the inner frame H12 in the front and back direction (arrow F direction), and the front side (arrow F direction) is opened toward the downward direction (arrow D direction), thereby forming a curved passage in which the direction of the passage changes 90 degrees (changes from the front and back direction to the vertical direction) so that the end portion on the front side (arrow F direction) is opened toward the downward direction (arrow D direction). In this configuration, the ball dispensed from the dispensing device H133 passes through the through hole in the inner frame H12, enters the dish passage forming member H160 from the rear end of the dish passage forming member H160, and is discharged from the front end.

[0033] Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 6, a shutter H163 is provided at the lower portion of the dish passage forming member H160, which restricts the flow of the ball from the upper dish passage portion H161 on the main body side and the lower dish passage portion H162 on the main body side. The shutter H163 is switchable between both stopping the outlet portions of both passages and stopping the ball from flowing, and a stopping position that allows the ball to flow, and is arranged in an acceptable position when the front frame H14 is closed relative to the inner frame H12, and is arranged in an acceptable position when the front frame H14 is opened relative to the inner frame H12 (the state shown in FIG. 5). This avoids the inconvenience of the storage ball being spilled when the front frame H14 is opened while the ball is stored in the upper plate passage portion H161 on the main body side or the lower plate passage portion H162 on the main body side, and the storage ball will spill.

[0034] The front frame H14 is a main frame H14d formed in a vertically long rectangular frame shape by a metal plate, an upper decorative unit H14a disposed on the front side of the main frame H14d (arrow U direction side) of the main frame H14d, and a left decorative unit H14b and right decorative unit H14b extending downwards (arrow D direction side) from both sides of the upper decorative unit H14a (arrow L-R direction side) toward the bottom (arrow D direction side) The decorative unit H14c, an upper and lower dish unit H15 covering the lower front side of the main frame H14d, a passage forming unit H140 disposed on the back side of the upper and lower dish unit H15 via the main frame H14d, and a firing position throw unit H170 disposed on the back side of the passage forming unit H140, and is rotatably attached to the inner frame H12.

[0035] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, front door mounting brackets H57 and H58 are provided on the rotating base end side of the front frame H14, and the front door mounting brackets H57 and H58 (the front door mounting bracket H57 is a cylindrical portion, and the front door mounting bracket H58 is a metal plate having a shaft hole) engages with the inner frame H12, thereby supporting the front frame H14 rotatably relative to the inner frame H12.

[0036] Specifically, the front door mounting bracket H57 is shanically supported by a shaft support plate H12e, which has a fitting recess H12e1 (see FIG. 7) that extends from the front end of the inner frame H12 to the front side (in the direction of arrow F) at a position below the hinge H19 on the upper side of the inner frame H12, and has a fitting recess H12e1 (see FIG. 7) that is recessed to allow the front door mounting bracket H57 to be fitted inwardly from the tip to the rear side (in the direction of arrow B). Furthermore, the front door mounting bracket H58 is pivoted by being fitted outside on a support pin H19a with a stepped cylinder shape (a structure in which cylinders of different diameters are arranged vertically and vertically, the diameter of the upper cylinder is smaller) projecting upwards (the diameter of the upper cylinder is smaller in size).

[0037] In addition, the front frame H14 has a window H14e in the area surrounded by the upper decorative unit H14a, the left decorative unit H14b, the right decorative unit H14c, and the upper and lower plate unit H15, and a glass unit H16 having two sheets of glass is disposed on the back side (in the direction of arrow B) of the front frame H14 (main body frame H14d) to cover the window H14e (see FIG. 1). The pachinko machine H10 can be viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine H10 through the glass unit H16 (window H14e).

[0038] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the glass unit H16 includes a pair of front and rear transparent glasses H16a, H16b having an outer shape larger than the window H14e and having light transmittance (transparency), and a fixed frame (not shown) that integrates these transparent glasses H16a, H16b. The fixing frame is made of resin material, and is formed into an annular shape that is one size larger than the transparent glass H16a and H16b, and the outer peripheral edges of the transparent glass H16a and H16b are bonded to the fixing frame, making the glass unit H16 an integrated multi-layered glass.

[0039] The glass unit H16 is formed of transparent glass H16a and H16b so as to be colorless and transparent, but is not limited to this, and may be formed of a resin material, colorless and transparent, or colorless and transparent, as long as the game area can be viewed from the front of the pachinko machine H10 through the glass unit H16, may be formed of a colorless and transparent.

[0040] Furthermore, the two transparent glasses H16a and H16b may be arranged in such a state that there is a predetermined gap between the two transparent glasses H16a and H16b facing each other. When a state in which a predetermined gap exists between the transparent glass H16a and H16b, displacement means that can be displaced between the two transparent glass H16a and H16b may be arranged to allow the displacement means to be made on the front side (in the direction of arrow F) of the game board H13. The displacement means in this case is for example a type of displacement member formed from a member such as paper or nylon, which is blown away by the wind from the holes formed in the fixed frame, or a type of displacement member disposed in the fixed frame so as to be displaceable between the two sheets of transparent glass H16a and H16b by the audio lamp control device H113 (see FIG. 10). Additionally, a light emitting means may be arranged on a fixing plate that secures the two transparent glasses H16a and H16b, and the light emitted from the light emitting means may be irradiated onto one of the transparent glass H16a on the front side or the transparent glass H16b on the rear side (in the direction of arrow B), and the player may visually recognize the light irradiated onto one of the transparent glasses H16a and H16b.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of electric decoration parts H29 to H33 are provided around the window portion H14e of the front frame H14 (upper decorative unit H14a, left decorative unit H14b, right decorative unit H14c). These electric display units H29-H33 light and flash in response to changes in game states at a jackpot or a specified reach. Furthermore, the electric light portion H30 on the upper side of the window H14e (in the direction of the arrow U) has built-in light emitting means that lights up when there is a certain error such as a lack of the dispensing ball, and light emitting means that lights up when the prize ball is fed out.

[0042] Furthermore, the portions other than the area in which the electric decorative portions H29 to H33 are disposed of the upper decorative unit H14a, the left decorative unit H14b, and the right decorative unit H14c are formed of a non-transmitting resin material that transmits light emitted from the electric decorative units H29 to H33. This makes it easy for players to notice the light (lighting and flashing) of the electric display units H29-H33.

[0043] The portions other than the area in which the electric display portions H29 to H33 are disposed are not limited to those formed non-transparently, and may be formed from a transparent resin material so that light can be emitted (transmitted) from the entire front frame H14 when light is emitted (lighting or blinking) from the electric display portions H29 to H33. Additionally, a chrome-plated ABS resin plating member may be arranged in the area around the electric display portions H29 to H33 to create a glittering look.

[0044] On the left side of the upper decorative unit H14a (the side of the arrow L) and the right side of the arrow R direction) (the upper right and upper left side of the window H14e) are provided with a speaker cover H27 (a thin plate member made of punched metal) covering the speaker assembly (audio output device H226 (see FIG. 10)) in which sound effects and the like are output according to the game state are output, and the sound of the speaker can be emitted on the front side of the pachinko machine H10 (the side of the arrow F direction) via the speaker cover H27.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 1, upper and lower plate units H15 are arranged below the window portion H14e (in the direction of arrow B) in such a way that the upper and lower plates H17 and lower plates H50 are arranged to bulge out towards the foreground, and in which the upper and lower plates H17 and H50 are arranged side by side.

[0046] The upper plate H17 is formed in a substantially box-shaped state with the top surface open, and prize balls, loan balls, and the like are discharged to the upper plate H17. The upper plate H17 also has the function of temporarily storing balls dispensed from the dispensing device H133 (see FIG. 2) and directing them towards the ball firing unit H112a (see FIG. 6) while aligning them in a row. The bottom surface is formed to be inclined downwardly to the right side of the front (the side of the direction of the arrow R), and the balls poured into the upper plate H17 can be guided to the firing position throwing unit H170. The balls that are thrown from the upper plate H17 to the firing position throw unit H170 are guided to the ball firing unit H112a one by one by one by the operation of the firing position throw unit H170.

[0047] The lower plate H50 is formed in a substantially box-like shape with the upper surface open, and has the function of storing excess balls in the upper plate H17. Furthermore, on the side surface of the lower plate H50 (the side of the arrow B direction) there is formed a ball guide opening H53 that opens in the front and back direction (the direction of the arrow F-B direction) so that the ball is guided to the lower plate H50.

[0048] A ball pull lever H52 is provided on the front side (in the direction of arrow F) of the lower plate H50 (in the direction of arrow D) for operation when ejecting the ball stored in the lower plate H50 downwards. This ball pull lever H52 is constantly urged in the right direction (direction of arrow R), and by sliding it in the left direction (direction of arrow L), the bottom opening formed on the bottom surface of the lower plate H50 opens, and the ball is naturally dropped and discharged from the bottom opening. The ball pulling lever H52 is normally operated with a box (commonly referred to as "thousand-ryo boxes") that receives the ball discharged from the bottom plate H50 placed below the bottom plate H50.

[0049] Incidentally, the ball is not limited to a ball being discharged to a thousand-ryo boxes by operating the ball pulling lever H52, but may be discharged to a collection port communicating with the island equipment. Furthermore, it is not necessary to separate the upper plate H17 and the lower plate H50 to provide a portion for storing the balls at a plurality of locations, and the lower plate H50 may be abolished and only one storage portion is provided as the upper plate H17.

[0050] An operation unit H180 that is manually operated by players is provided on the front side (the side of the arrow F direction) of the upper plate H17 (the area for storing the ball). The operation unit H180 is an operation device used when an effect is performed in response to the player's operations on the display screen of the third pattern display device H81, etc.

[0051] The operation unit H180 has a button member H181 disposed on the upper surface side. The button member H181 can be pressed downwardly around an axis extending in the left and right direction (the direction of the arrow L-R), and is operated by a player, for example, when changing the stage of the performance displayed on the third pattern display device H81 (see FIG. 6) or changing the performance content of the Super Reach.

[0052] In addition to the upper plate H17, the operation unit H180 may be provided in other parts such as the periphery of the lower plate H50, or in multiple locations, and may be provided in a manner that may be operated by a push button type switch, and may be configured to allow information to be input by other methods such as a touch sensor or a non-contact sensor.

[0053] On the right side of the operation unit H180, a rental ball operation unit H40 (see FIG. 8), a function adjustment operation unit H190, and a ball discharge lever H54 are disposed on the upper surface of the upper and lower plate unit H15. The rental ball operation unit H40 is provided with a frequency display unit H41, a ball lending button H42, and a return button H43. When the loan ball operation section H40 is operated while banknotes, cards, etc. are inserted into a card unit (ball lending unit) (not shown) located on the side of the pachinko machine H10, the ball is loaned according to the operation. Specifically, the frequency display unit H41 is an area where remaining amount information such as a card is displayed, and the built-in LED is lit and the remaining amount is displayed as remaining amount information in numbers.

[0054] The ball lending button H42 is operated to obtain a loan ball based on information recorded on a card, etc. (recording medium), and the loan ball is supplied to the upper plate H17 as long as the remaining amount is present on the card, etc. The return button H43 is operated when requesting a return of a card or the like inserted into the card unit. In addition, in a pachinko machine, or so-called cash machine, in which the ball is directly loaned out from the ball lending device or the like to the upper plate H17 without the use of a card unit, the ball operation unit H40 is no longer necessary, but in this case, decorative stickers and the like may be added to the installation portion of the ball operation unit H40, and the components may be made to be the same. It is possible to make it common to a pachinko machine using a card unit and a cash machine.

[0055] The function adjustment operation unit H190 includes a decision button H191, an up button H192, a down button H193, a left button H194, and a right button H195 disposed at a position outside the four cross-shaped cross-shaped directions centered around the decision button H191.

[0056] The function adjustment operation unit H190 is an operation unit for changing the volume of the speaker (audio output device H226) disposed in the upper decorative unit H14a, the brightness of the display screen of the third pattern display device H81, the brightness of the electric display units H29 to H33 disposed in the upper decorative unit H14a, the left decorative unit H14b, and the right decorative unit H14c. By operating the decision button H191, the up button H192, the down button H193, the left button H194, and the right button H195, the player can change the volume and brightness to suit the preferences of the player.

[0057] Furthermore, when changing the volume or brightness, the volume or brightness adjustment degree is displayed on a part of the third pattern display device H81 as a numerical value, volume, etc. This allows the player to easily adjust the volume and brightness when they start playing another pachinko machine H10.

[0058] The change by the function adjustment operation unit H190 is not limited to the volume or brightness, but may also be to change the performance displayed on the third pattern display device H81. Furthermore, the degree of adjusting the volume and brightness is not limited to those displayed on the third pattern display device H81, but may be used to adjust the sound and display after being changed (adjusted) at the same time as the operation, or to display the degree of adjusting the sound and display that is different from the third pattern display device H81.

[0059] The ball discharge lever H54 is a lever operated by the player when the ball stored in the upper plate H17 is sent to the lower plate H50, and is arranged in a state where it is biased upward (side of the arrow U direction) by a biasing means (spring) not shown. Incidentally, the ball discharge lever H54 is operated (pushed downward (in the direction of arrow D)) so that the passage communicating from the upper plate H17 to the firing ball throwing unit H170 can be switched from the upper plate H17 to the lower plate H50 (foul ball passage H145). This allows the ball stored in the upper plate H17 to be discharged to the lower plate H50.

[0060] An operation handle H51 that the player operates during the game is arranged on the right side of the lower plate H50 (in the direction of the arrow R). The operation handle H51 includes a touch sensor H51a for allowing the ball launch unit H112a to be driven, a firing stop switch H51b that stops firing of the ball during the pressing operation, and a variable resistor (not shown) that detects the amount of rotation (rotation position) of the operation handle H51 by a change in electrical resistance. When the operation handle H51 is rotated clockwise by the player, the touch sensor H51a is turned on, and the resistance value of the variable resistor changes in accordance with the amount of rotation, and the ball is fired at a strength (firing strength) corresponding to the resistance value of the variable resistor, and this causes the ball to be driven into the front of the game board H13 with a flying amount corresponding to the operation of the player. Furthermore, when the operation handle H51 is not operated by the player, the touch sensor H51a and the firing stop switch H51b are turned off.

[0061] The passage forming unit H140 is molded from a resin material and has an upper plate passage H141 on the front door side that leads to the upper plate H17, a lower plate passage H142 on the front door side that leads to the lower plate H50, and a foul ball passage H145.

[0062] A dispensing ball receiving portion H143 protrudes rearward (the corner on the rotary base end side of the front frame H14) is formed at the upper corner of the passage forming unit H140 (the corner on the rotary base end side) and open upwardly. The dispensing ball receiving portion H143 is partitioned left and right by the partition wall H144, thereby forming a dispensing ball receiving portion H141 on the front door side and a dispensing ball receiving portion H142 on the front door side (see FIG. 8).

[0063] The main body side upper plate passage portion H161 of the inner frame H12 (see FIG. 6) is communicated with the main body side upper plate passage portion H141 on the front door side, and the main body side lower plate passage portion H162 of the inner frame H12 (see FIG. 6) is communicated with the main body side lower plate passage portion H142 on the front door side. As a result, the ball to be thrown from the dispensing device H133 is thrown to the upper plate H17 or the lower plate H50.

[0064] The foul ball passage section H145 (see FIG. 8) is a portion that forms a passage for ejecting a ball fired from the ball launching unit H112a that does not reach the game area as a foul ball to the lower plate H50.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 9, the foul ball passage portion H145 is provided with a foul ball receiving portion H146 which is open on the upper side (the side of the direction of the arrow U). The foul ball received by the foul ball receiving portion H146 flows down the internal passage of the foul ball passage portion H145 (see FIG. 8), and is then discharged into the lower plate H50. The foul ball passage portion H145 may be connected to the upper plate H17 instead of the lower plate H50, and the foul ball is discharged to the upper plate H17.

[0066] Furthermore, the foul ball passage portion H145 is formed so as to join a ball passage (not shown) which is a passage where an unexploded ball flowing from the upper plate H17 to the lower plate H50 is guided by the player operating the ball discharge lever H54.

[0067] The firing position throw unit H170 is a unit for throwing balls stored in the upper plate H17 one by one to the ball launching unit H112a. The firing position throw unit H170 is formed mainly with a front side opening H171 connected to the opening in the ball-flow path of the upper plate H177, a rear side opening H172 that allows the ball to flow in from the front side opening H171 to be discharged from the rear side, a switching means (not shown) that is displaceably disposed on a passage passing through the front side opening H171 to the rear side opening H172, and a solenoid (not shown) that drives the switching means.

[0068] The switching means for the firing position throwing unit H170 is configured to be displaceable from the upper plate H177 to the front opening H171, and from the upper plate H17 to a position in which the ball can be flown into the front opening H171, and is formed so that the ball on the passage of the firing position throwing unit H170 can be flown from the rear opening H172 into the ball launching unit H112a (firing rail H112a1). This allows the ball to be ejected one ball at a time from the rear side opening H172 as the position of the switching means is switched (displaced one round trip).

[0069] The rear side opening H172 is located above the launch rail H112a1 (in the direction of arrow U) of the ball launch unit H112a (see FIG. 6). Therefore, one ball is thrown from the firing position throw unit H170 to the firing rail H112a1 of the ball launch unit H112a.

[0070] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the rear side opening H172 is formed between both ends of the firing rail H112a1 in the ball-thrust direction of the firing rail H112a1. Therefore, the ball that is thrown from the rear opening H172 onto the firing rail H112a1 can roll in both the left and right directions (in the direction of arrow L-R) on the firing rail H112a1, but since one side of the firing rail H112a1 (the side away from the rotor H112a2) is inclined upward (in the direction of arrow U), the ball that is thrown from the rear opening H172 to the firing rail H112a1 (the ball before firing by the rotor H112a2) is prevented from rolling away from the rotor H112a2.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 6, the game board H13 is formed by assembling a base plate H60 that has been cut into a roughly square shape when viewed from the front, numerous nails (not shown) for ball guides and wind turbines (not shown), as well as rail members H61, H62, general prize entry port H63, first prize entry port H64, second prize entry port H640, variable prize entry device H65, through gate H67, variable display unit H80, and the like, and the peripheral edge of the game is attached to the back side of the inner frame H12.

[0072] The base plate H60 is made of a light-transmitting resin material, and is formed so that the players can visually see various structures arranged from the front side (arrow F side) to the rear side (arrow B side) of the base plate H60. The general prize opening H63, the first prize opening H64, the second prize opening H640, and the variable display unit H80 are disposed in a through hole formed in the base plate H60 by router processing, and are fixed from the front side of the game board H13 with tapping screws or the like.

[0073] The base plate H60 is not limited to one formed from a light-transmitting resin material, but may be made of wood made from thin plate materials or made from non-transmitting resin material. In these cases, it is desirable to attach the decorated seals and the like to the entire area on the front side of the base plate H60 (the side of the direction of the arrow F) to ensure decorative properties of the base plate H60.

[0074] The front center portion of the game board H13 can be seen from the front side (in the direction of arrow F) of the inner frame H12 through a portion of the window portion H14e (see FIG. 1) of the front frame H14. The structure of the game board H13 will be described below mainly with reference to FIG. 6.

[0075] An outer rail H62 formed by bending a strip-shaped metal plate into a generally arc-shaped arc is planted on the front of the game board H13, and an inner rail H61 formed by strip-shaped metal plate is planted at the inner position of the outer rail H62, similar to the outer rail H62. The inner rail H61 and the outer rail H62 surround the front outer circumference of the game board H13, and the front and rear (in the direction of arrow F-B) are surrounded by the game board H13 and the glass unit H16 (see FIG. 1) surround the front side of the game board H13, and the game board H13 is surrounded by the shape of the ball, and a game area in which the game is performed is formed in front of the game board H13 due to the behavior of the ball. The game area is a region (a region in which a prize opening or the like is disposed, where the fired ball flows down) is formed by partitioning two rail members H61, H62 and the resin outer edge member H73 connecting the rails. The two rail members H61, H62 need not be made of metal plates, and may be formed into a strip shape from a resin material.

[0076] The two rail members H61 and H62 are provided for guiding the ball fired from the ball launching unit H112a to the upper side of the game board H13 (the side of the direction of the arrow U). A return ball prevention member H68 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail H61 (the upper left of FIG. 6).

[0077] The return ball prevention member H68 is formed from a resin plate member extending from the inner rail H61 side to the outer rail H62 side, and is capable of rotating in a direction that separates the other end from the outer rail H62 on one end of the inner rail H61 side. Furthermore, the return ball prevention member H68 has a weight on one end side, and the weight is urged in a direction in which the other end side approaches the outer rail H62.

[0078] This allows the other end of the return ball prevention member H68 to be rotated in a direction away from the outer rail H62 by the force of the ball being guided upwards (the arrow U-direction side) of the game board H13, and when the ball is guided to the position above the return ball prevention member H68 (the upper side of the game board H13), the other end of the return ball prevention member H68 can be rotated in a direction that approaches the outer rail H62, thereby preventing the ball being guided to the top of the game board H13 again returning to the ball guide passage.

[0079] The return ball prevention member H68 does not need to be formed from a resin material, but may be formed from a metal material. In addition to the weight, the other end of the return ball prevention member H68 may be biased towards the outer rail H62 by means of a magnetic force such as a magnet or a biasing force such as a torsion spring.

[0080] A return rubber H69 is attached to the tip of the outer rail H62 (the upper right of FIG. 6) at a position corresponding to the maximum flying portion of the ball, and the ball fired with a force greater than a predetermined level hits the return rubber H69 and bounces back towards the center side while attenuating its momentum.

[0081] First pattern display devices H37A and H37B, which are light emitting means and a 7-segment display device, are arranged at the lower left of the game area (the lower left of FIG. 6), which are first pattern display devices H37A and H37B, which are light emitting means, are light emitting devices. The first pattern display devices H37A and H37B are displayed in accordance with the respective controls performed by the main control device H110 (see FIG. 10), and mainly displays the game status of the pachinko machine H10. In this embodiment, the first pattern display devices H37A and H37B are configured to be used in different ways depending on whether the ball has entered the first prize opening H64 or the second prize opening H640. Specifically, when the ball enters the first prize opening H64, the first design display device H37A is activated, while when the ball enters the second prize opening H640, the first design display device H37B is activated.

[0082] Furthermore, the first pattern display devices H37A and H37B use LEDs to indicate whether the pachinko machine H10 is in a special mode, time-saving or normal state by using LEDs, or whether it is in a lit state, indicates whether it is in a lit state, indicates whether it is in a lit state, indicates whether the stop pattern is a pattern that corresponds to a special mode jackpot, or a missing pattern that corresponds to a normal jackpot, indicates the number of balls held in a lit state, and also indicates the number of rounds of jackpot and an error using a 7-segment display device. Note that the plurality of LEDs are configured so that the light emitting colors (for example, red, green, blue) of each LED are different, and the combination of the light emitting colors allows the number of LEDs to be used to indicate the various gaming conditions of the pachinko machine H10.

[0083] In addition, in this pachinko machine H10, a lottery will be held when prizes are made at the first prize opening H64 and the second prize opening H640. In the lottery, the Pachinko machine H10 judges whether the player is a big hit or not (a big hit lottery), and if it is determined that it is a big hit, it also determines the type of jackpot. The jackpot types determined here include 15R special jackpots, 4R special jackpots, and 15R regular jackpots. The first pattern display devices H37A and H37B not only show whether the result of the lottery is a jackpot or not as a stop pattern after the change has ended, but also show the design according to the type of jackpot when it is a jackpot.

[0084] Here, a "15R Confidential Jackpot" refers to a special-mode jackpot that moves to a high probability state after a maximum number of rounds of 15 rounds, while a "4R Confidential Jackpot" refers to a special-mode jackpot that moves to a high probability state after a maximum number of rounds of 4 rounds. Furthermore, "15R regular jackpot" refers to a jackpot where the maximum number of rounds is 15 rounds, then it transitions to a low probability state, and is in a time-saving state for a given number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuations).

[0085] The number of rounds for jackpots is not limited to 15R and 4R, and may be changed to another round number depending on the model of the pachinko machine H10, or may have two or more rounds. Furthermore, the predetermined number of fluctuations in the time-saving state is not limited to 100 fluctuations, but may be set to, for example, one change or 1,000 fluctuations.

[0086] Furthermore, "high probability state" refers to a state in which the probability of subsequent jackpots increases as added value after the jackpot is completed, or when the probability is currently in progress (in a special mode), or in other words, a game state that is easily transitioned to a special game state. The high probability state (during a special mode) in this embodiment includes the state of a game in which the chances of winning the second pattern to be described later increase and the ball is likely to be entered into the second prize opening H640. "Low probability state" refers to a situation when the probability of a jackpot is not in a special mode, and refers to a situation where the probability of a jackpot is in a normal state, that is, the probability of a jackpot is lower than when a special mode occurs. In addition, a "low probability state" state (time-saving) refers to a game in which the probability of jackpots is normal, and only the chances of winning the second pattern increase while the probability of winning is the same, making it easier for a ball to win at the second prize opening H640. On the other hand, the pachinko machine H10 is a game that is not in a special mode or time-saving state (the probability of jackpots and the probability of winning the second pattern have not increased).

[0087] During the special mode or time-saving period, not only does the chance of winning the second pattern increase, but the time when the electric power H640a associated with the second prize opening H640 is also changed, setting a longer time than normal. When the electric vehicle H640a is in an open state (open state), the ball is more likely to enter the second prize opening H640 than when the electric vehicle H640a is in an closed state (closed state). Therefore, during the special mode or time-saving period, the ball is more likely to enter the second prize opening H640, allowing the number of times the jackpot lottery will be held.

[0088] In addition, during the special mode or time-saving period, instead of changing the opening time of the electric power H640a associated with the second prize opening H640, or in addition to changing the opening time of the electric power H640a, it may be changed to increase the number of times that the electric power H640a is released in one hit than during normal times. Furthermore, during the special mode or time-saving period, the chances of winning the second pattern are not changed, and at least one of the time of opening of the electric vehicle H640a associated with the second prize opening H640 and the number of times the electric vehicle H640a is opened in one hit is changed. Furthermore, during the special mode or time-saving period, the time when the electric power H640a associated with the second prize opening H640 is opened, and the number of times the electric power H640a is opened in one hit, may be changed so that only the chance of hitting the second design increases compared to the normal one.

[0089] In the game area, there are multiple general prize openings H63 in which five to 15 balls are fed out as prize balls when a ball wins. In addition, a variable display unit H80 is disposed in the center of the game area. The variable display unit H80 is provided with a third pattern display device H81 consisting of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply abbreviated as "display device") that displays the third pattern while synchronizing with the variation display on the first pattern display devices H37A and H37B, and is a second pattern display device (not shown) that is composed of an LED that displays the second pattern with the passing of the ball of the through gate H67 as a trigger. Furthermore, the variable display unit H80 has a center frame H86 disposed around the outer periphery of the third pattern display device H81.

[0090] The center frame H86 is a member for preventing the ball flowing down the game area from flowing down to the third pattern display device H81 via the central opening of the base plate H60, and is formed by protruding outwards towards the front side of the base plate H60 (the side of the direction of the arrow F). In addition, a part of the center frame H86 is formed in part a warp passage (not shown) that accepts balls flowing down the game area and passes around the third pattern display device H81 and discharges from the first prize opening H64 side. In this embodiment, the warp passage is configured so that the ball passes through the front side of the base plate H60, but it is also possible to form the warp passage so that the ball passes through the rear side of the base plate H60.

[0091] The third pattern display device H81 is made up of a large 9-inch liquid crystal display, and by controlling the display content by the display control device H114 (see FIG. 10), three pattern rows, for example, are displayed, for example, on top, middle and on bottom. The third pattern display device H81 may be configured of a size other than 9 inches, or may be configured by placing two or more liquid crystal displays side by side.

[0092] Each pattern row of the third pattern display device H81 is composed of a plurality of patterns (third pattern), and these third patterns are scrolled horizontally for each pattern row, and the third pattern is variablely displayed on the display screen of the third pattern display device H81. The third pattern display device H81 of this embodiment displays the game state in conjunction with the control of the main control device H110 (see FIG. 10) by the first pattern display device H37A and H37B, while displaying the game state according to the display of the first pattern display device H37A and H37B. Instead of the display device, for example, a reel may be used to form the third pattern display device H81.

[0093] The second pattern display device performs a variable display in which the "○" and "X" patterns as the display patterns (second pattern (not shown)) are lit up for a specified period of time each time the ball passes through the through gate H67. On the pachinko machine H10, if it is detected that the ball has passed through the through gate H67, a winning lottery is held. If the winning lottery results from the winning lottery, the second design display device will stop and display the "○" design after the second design change is displayed. Furthermore, if the winning lottery results are not accepted, the second design display device will stop and display the "x" design after the change of the third design is displayed. The second pattern display device may be used to display the pattern using a part of the third pattern display device H81, or may be used to display the pattern on both the third pattern display device H81 and another display device, and in this embodiment, the pattern is used to display the pattern using a part of the third pattern display device H81.

[0094] The pachinko machine H10 is configured so that, when the variable display on the second pattern display device stops with a predetermined pattern (in this embodiment, the pattern with "○"), the electric vehicle H640a attached to the second prize opening H640 is in operation (opened) for a predetermined period of time.

[0095] The time required to display the second pattern is set so that the time required for displaying the variation is shorter than when the game is in a normal state or during the time-saving period. As a result, during the special mode and time-saving period, the second pattern is displayed in a short time, so the winning lottery can be held more than during normal times. Therefore, the chances of winning in the winning lottery increase, allowing the player to have more opportunities to open the electric role H640a of the second prize opening H640 to be opened. Therefore, during the special mode and time-saving period, the ball can be easily entered into the second prize opening H640.

[0096] Furthermore, when the ball is likely to win at the second prize opening H640 during the special mode or time-saving period, the chances of winning are increased, the opening time and number of times of opening of the electric power H640a for a single hit are increased, and the time required for the second prize opening H640 during the special mode or time-saving period, the time required for displaying the second design may be set to be constant regardless of the game state. On the other hand, if the time required to display the second pattern is set to be shorter than normal during the special or time-saving period, the chances of winning may be set to be constant regardless of the game state, and the opening time and number of openings of the electric power H640a for each hit may be constant regardless of the game state.

[0097] The through gate H67 is assembled to the game board H13 in the left and right areas of the variable display unit H80, and is configured so that part of the ball fired on the game board H13 can pass through. When the ball passes through through gate H67, a second pattern lottery will be held. After the winning lottery, a variation display is performed on the second pattern display device, and if the winning lottery results are a winning lottery, a "○" design is displayed as a stop pattern for the fluctuation display, and if the winning lottery results are not received, a "×" design is displayed as a stop pattern for the fluctuation display.

[0098] The number of times the ball's through gate H67 passes is suspended for a total of up to four times, and the number of balls that are held are displayed by the above-mentioned first design displays H37A and H37B, and also lit on the second design hold lamp (not shown). In this embodiment, the second pattern hold lamp is configured to be displayed using a part of the third pattern display device H81, but it may be used to display the lamp on a display device other than the third pattern display device H81. For example, four LEDs that light up as the bulb passes through gate H67 may be arranged below the third pattern display device H81 to display the light on.

[0099] Furthermore, the maximum number of balls pending for passing through the through gate H67 is not limited to four, and may be set to three or less, or five or more times (for example, eight). Furthermore, the number of assembly of the through gate H67 is not limited to two, and may be, for example, one. Furthermore, the assembly position of the through gate H67 is not limited to the left and right sides of the variable display unit H80, and may be, for example, below the variable display unit H80. Furthermore, since the number of balls held by the first pattern display devices H37A and H37B is indicated, the number of balls held by the second pattern display may be not displayed on by the second pattern hold lamp.

[0100] Below the variable display unit H80, a first prize entry port H64 is disposed to allow a ball to be entered. When the ball enters the first prize opening H64, the first prize opening switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board H13 is turned on, and due to the on-hand of the first prize opening switch, a lottery for a jackpot is made by the main control device H110 (see FIG. 10) and a display according to the lottery result is shown by the first design display device H37A.

[0101] On the other hand, below the first prize opening H64, a second prize opening H640 is disposed, in which a ball can be entered. When the ball enters the second prize opening H640, the second prize opening switch (not shown) located on the back side of the game board H13 is turned on, and due to the on-hand of the second prize opening switch, a lottery for a jackpot is made by the main control device H110 (see FIG. 10) and a display according to the lottery result is shown on the first design display device H37B.

[0102] Furthermore, the first and second prize openings H64 and the second prize openings H640 are each one of the prize openings where five balls are fed out as prize balls when a ball is entered. In this embodiment, the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the first prize opening H64 and the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the second prize opening H640 are configured to be the same. However, the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the first prize opening H64 and the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the second prize opening H640 may be configured to be different numbers, for example, the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the first prize opening H64 is set to three, and the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the second prize opening H640 may be set to five.

[0103] The second prize opening H640 is accompanied by an electric vehicle H640a. This electric vehicle H640a is configured to be open / close, and normally the electric vehicle H640a is closed (reduced) and it is difficult for the ball to win the second prize opening H640. On the other hand, when the second pattern is displayed as a result of the fluctuation display of the second pattern, which is triggered by the passage of the ball to the through gate H67, the pattern "○" is displayed on the second pattern display device, the electric power H640a is in the open state (enlarged state), and the ball is more likely to win the second prize opening H640.

[0104] In this embodiment, wing members (electrical function H640a) that open and close on both sides of the second prize opening H640 (in the direction of the arrow L-R) are arranged, and when the electric function H640a is in the open state, the ball can be entered into the second prize opening H640 from both the left and right sides of the second prize opening H640, but it may be configured such that a wall may be formed to block one side of the flow path in the left and right direction, so that the ball can be entered into the second prize opening H640 only from the other side. In this case, a wing member (electrical function H640a) that opens and closes only on the other side of the second prize opening H640 is disposed.

[0105] Furthermore, the electric vehicle H640a is not limited to a rotating wing member, and may be slide-displaced as long as it moves to a position where the second prize opening H640 is opened and closed. For example, the electric vehicle H640a may be one that slides downward (arrow U-D direction) or one that slides downward (arrow F-B direction side).

[0106] As mentioned above, during the special mode and time-saving period, the chances of hitting the second pattern are higher than those during normal mode, and the time required for displaying the fluctuation of the second pattern is shorter, so the "○" pattern is more likely to be displayed when displaying the fluctuation of the second pattern, and the number of times the electric power H640a is opened (expanded) is increased. Furthermore, during the special mode and time-saving period, the time when the electric power H640a is opened is longer than normal. Therefore, during the special mode and time-saving period, it is possible to create a state where the ball is more likely to enter the second prize opening H640 compared to normal.

[0107] In the pachinko machine H10 in this embodiment, the structure of the game board H13 is symmetrical, so that the ball passes in the right direction of the variable display unit H80 (in the direction of the arrow R) (so-called "right-handed") and aims for the first prize opening H64, or the ball passes in the left direction of the variable display unit H80 (in the direction of the arrow L) (in the direction of the arrow L) (in the "left-handed") and aims for the second prize opening H640. Therefore, the pachinko machine H10 of this embodiment can no longer require the player to change the way the ball is fired from "left-handed" and "right-handed" depending on the game state of the pachinko machine H10 (whether it is in a special mode, time-saving, or normal mode). This eliminates the hassle of changing the way you hit the ball.

[0108] Furthermore, even if the probability of a jackpot is in a low probability state, the probability of a jackpot will not change even if the probability state is in a high probability state (the probability of the jackpot probability in a low probability state and the probability of a high probability state are the same). In this case, it is desirable to have a configuration in which the probability of a 15R special jackpot as the type of jackpot selected when a jackpot becomes a jackpot is set higher when the ball enters the second prize opening H640 than when the ball enters the first prize opening H64, and to have a first prize opening H64 disposed in the flow path on the left side, and a second prize opening H640 disposed in the flow path on the right side (the configuration of the game board H13 is asymmetric).

[0109] According to this configuration, in normal circumstances, the electric vehicle associated with the second prize opening H640 is often closed, making it difficult to win at the second prize opening H640, so it is advantageous for players to fire the ball towards the first prize opening H64 that does not have the electric vehicle so that the ball passes through the left side of the variable display unit H80 (direction of arrow L) and win at the first prize opening H64, and aim to win the jackpot by getting more opportunities for a jackpot lottery.

[0110] On the other hand, during the special mode or time-saving period, by passing the ball through the through gate H67, the electric vehicle H640a associated with the second prize opening H640 is likely to be opened, making it easier to enter the second prize opening H640, so that the ball passes towards the second prize opening H640 ("right hit") so that the ball passes through the variable display unit H80 (direction of arrow R) and passes through the through gate H67 to open the electric vehicle, and aims to aim at winning the second prize opening H640 to a 15R special mode jackpot.

[0111] Therefore, depending on the game state of the pachinko machine H10 (whether it is in a special mode, time-saving, or normal mode), the player can change the way the ball is fired to "left-handed" and "right-handed", which can maintain the player's interest.

[0112] Below the first prize opening port H64, a variable prize winning device H65 (see FIG. 6) is disposed, and a specific prize winning port H65a is provided in the approximately central portion of the prize winning port H65a. In the pachinko machine H10, when the jackpot lottery that was conducted due to the winnings in the first prize opening H64 or the second prize opening H640 becomes a jackpot, after a prescribed time (variable time) has passed, the first design display device H37A or the first design display device H37B is lit to form a jackpot stop pattern, and the stop pattern corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the third design display device H81, indicating the occurrence of a jackpot. After that, the game state changes to a special game state (jacket) where the ball is likely to win. As a special game state, the specific prize opening H65a, which is normally closed, is opened for a specified period (for example, until 30 seconds has passed, or until 10 balls have won).

[0113] This specific prize entry port H65a is closed after a certain period of time has passed, and after that, the specific prize entry port H65a is opened again for a certain period of time. The opening / closing operation of this specific prize opening H65a can be repeated at most, for example, 15 times (15 rounds). This opening and closing operation is a form of special game state that is advantageous for the player, and the player pays out a larger amount of prize balls than normal as a gift for the player (play value).

[0114] Note that the special game state is not limited to the above-mentioned form. A large opening opening that is opened and closed separately from the specific prize opening H65a may be provided in the game area, and when the LED corresponding to the jackpot is lit in the first design display devices H37A, H37B, the specific prize opening H65a is opened for a specified time, and the ball enters the specific prize opening H65a while the specific prize opening H65a is opened, and the game state may be formed in which the large opening opening separately from the specific prize opening H65a is opened for a specified time and the game state may be formed in which the large opening opening H65a is opened for a specified time and the ball enters the specified prize opening H65a during the opening of the specific prize opening H65a. Furthermore, the specific prize entry port H65a is not limited to one, and one or more than one (for example, three) may be arranged, and the arrangement position is not limited to the lower right side of the first prize entry port H64 or the lower left side of the first prize entry port H64, and may be, for example, on the left side of the variable display unit H80.

[0115] In the right corner of the lower side of the game board H13, a sticking space K1 is provided for attaching a certificate, identification label, etc., and the sheets pasted on the sticking space K1 can be visually visible through the glass unit H16 of the front frame H14.

[0116] The game board H13 has an outlet H71. Balls flowing down the game area and that do not win at any of the winning ports H63, H64, H65a, H640 are guided through the out port H71 to a ball discharge path (not shown). The out port H71 is disposed below the specific prize port H65a (in the direction of arrow D).

[0117] In addition, many nails are planted in the game board H13 to appropriately distribute and adjust the direction of falling of the ball, and various other components (vectors) such as wind turbines (not shown). Furthermore, a part of the center frame H86 disposed in the central opening of the base plate H60 in the manner surrounding the third pattern display device H81 has a side surface extending from the rear side (arrow B side) to the game area on the upward side (arrow U side), and a plurality of protrusions protruding toward the front side (arrow F side) are provided in the extended area. The ball flowing down the game area of ​​the game board H13 is flowed down while colliding with a large number of nails, a protrusion of the center frame H86, a wind turbine, etc., so that the direction of falling of the ball is appropriately distributed.

[0118] In this embodiment, the direction in which a part of the center frame H86 is extended is set to the upward side (the direction of arrow U), but it may be extended to the right side (the direction of arrow R) or the left side (the direction of arrow L), and the through gate H67 and the respective prize openings H63, H64, H65a, H640 may be arranged in the extended portion as well as the protrusions. Furthermore, the center frame H86 may be configured to have no extended portions or protruding portions.

[0119] The wind turbine is formed so that it can be rotated about an axis in the front and rear direction (direction of arrow F-B). The wind turbine is formed with a circular shape with a rotation axis as the center when viewed from the front of the base plate H60 and is disposed at a distance of one ball from the front of the base plate H60, and a plurality (three balls in this embodiment) of balls protruding from a part of the disk member towards the base plate H60 side (the side of the arrow B direction) and distributed along the direction of rotation of the wind turbine at a predetermined angle (120 degrees in this embodiment). The balls flowing down the game board H13 are rotated by the impact of contacting the balls, and are formed so that the balls that come into contact with each other can be guided in a plurality (two or more) directions.

[0120] The entire wind turbine is made of a resin material that is light-transmitting. This makes it easier for the player to see the flow downward direction of the ball abutting the ball abutting portion, and makes it difficult for the player to recognize the rotation direction of the wind turbine.

[0121] The game board H13 does not necessarily have to be equipped with a wind turbine on the base plate H60, and may be configured to not include a wind turbine. It is also possible to arrange a wind turbine in the middle of the warp passage (not shown) of the center frame H86 or the passageway (not shown) through which the balls entered into each winning port H63, H64, H65a, and H640 pass, so that the balls are changed by the wind turbine. Furthermore, the wind turbine may be formed partially of non-permeable resin material, or all of which are made of metal such as aluminum, which is non-permeable, and may be of any shape, color, or material as long as the ball can be guided in multiple directions when it abuts. For example, the wind turbine may be configured so that the balls can be distributed alternately in different directions at each ball.

[0122] As shown in FIG. 2, the control board units H90 and H91 and the backpack unit H94 are mainly provided on the rear side of the pachinko machine H10. The control board unit H90 is mounted on a main board (main control device H110), a voice lamp control board (voice lamp control device H113), and a display control board (display control device H114). The control board unit H91 is mounted on a dispensing control board (dispensing control device H111), a launch control board (dispensing control device H112), a power supply board (power supply device H115), and a card unit connection board H116, and is made into a unit.

[0123] The backpack unit H94 includes a backpack H92 that forms a protective cover portion and a dispensing unit H93 that are unitized. Each control board is equipped with an MPU as a one-chip microcomputer that controls each, a port that communicates with various devices, a random number generator used in various lottery tickets, a clock pulse generator used in the event of time counting and synchronization, etc., as necessary.

[0124] The main control device H110, the audio lamp control device H113, and the display control device H114, the dispensing control device H111 and the launch control device H112, the power supply device H115, and the card unit connection board H116 are respectively housed in board boxes H100-H104. The board boxes H100 to H104 include a box base and a box cover covering the opening of the box base, and the box cover is connected to each other to accommodate the respective control devices and the respective boards.

[0125] Furthermore, the board box H100 (main control device H110) and the board box H102 (paste control device H111 and firing control device H112) irreleasably connect the box base and the box cover by a sealing unit (not shown). Furthermore, a sealing seal (not shown) is adhered to the connecting portion between the box base and the box cover. This sealing seal is made of brittle material, and when the sealing seal is peeled off to open the board boxes H100 and H102, or when the board boxes H100 and H102 are forced to open, the sealing seal will be cut between the box base side and the box cover side. Therefore, by checking the sealing unit or sealing seal, it is possible to know whether the board boxes H100 and H102 have been opened.

[0126] The dispensing unit H93 includes a tank H130 located at the top of the backpack unit H94 and opened upward, a tank rail H131 connected to the bottom of the tank H130 and gently inclined downstream side, a case rail H132 connected vertically to the downstream side of the tank rail H131, and a dispensing device H133 provided at the most downstream portion of the dispensing motor H216 (see FIG. 10) for dispensing the ball with a predetermined electrical configuration. The tank H130 is successively fed with balls supplied from the island equipment of the game hall, and the necessary number of balls are appropriately fed out by the dispensing device H133. A vibrator H134 for applying vibration to the tank rail H131 is attached to the tank rail H131, and the vibration of the vibrator H134 prevents the ball from clogging into the tank rail H131. The vibrator H134 can be attached not only to the tank rail H131, but also to other rail parts (passages). For example, it may be arranged in a ball-sending passage (dish passage forming member H160) for throwing the ball to the upper plate H17 or the lower plate H50, or in a ball-sending passage (firing position throwing unit H170) for throwing the ball from the upper plate H17 to the ball-sending device H117a.

[0127] The dispensing control device H111 is provided with a state return switch H120, the firing control device H112 is provided with a variable resistor operation knob H121, and the power supply H115 is provided with a RAM erase switch H122. The state return switch H120 is operated to resolve the ball clogging (return to the normal state) when, for example, a ball clogging in the dispensing motor H216 (see FIG. 10) occurs, for example. The operation knob H121 is operated to adjust the size of the sound emitted from the speaker (audio output device H226) on the store side. The RAM erase switch H122 is operated when the pachinko machine H10 is turned on when the power is turned back on.

[0128] Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine H10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine H10.

[0129] The main control unit H110 is equipped with an MPU (microprocessor) H201, which is a computing device and is a one-chip microcomputer. The MPUH 201 includes a ROM (semiconductor memory) H202 that stores various control programs and fixed value data executed by the MPUH 201, a RAM (random access memory) H203 that is a memory for temporarily storing various data and the like when executing the control programs stored in the ROMH 202, and various other circuits such as an interrupt circuit, timer circuit, and data transmission and reception circuit. In the main control device H110, the MPUH201 executes the main processing of the pachinko machine H10, such as a jackpot lottery, setting of displays in the first pattern display devices H37A, H37B and the third pattern display device H81, and lottery of display results in the second pattern display device.

[0130] In order to instruct sub-control devices such as the dispensing control device H111 and the voice lamp control device H113, various commands are transmitted from the main control device H110 to the sub-control device by the data transmitting / receiving circuit, but these commands are transmitted from the main control device H110 to the sub-control device in one direction only.

[0131] In addition to various areas, counters, and flags, the RAMH 203 has a stack area in which the contents of the internal registers of the MPUH 201 and the return address of the control program executed by the MPUH 201 are stored, and the work area (work area) in which various flags, counters, I / O values ​​are stored. Furthermore, even after the power supply of the pachinko machine H10 is cut off, the backup voltage can be supplied from the power supply H115 to hold (backup) data, and all data stored in the RAMH203 is backed up.

[0132] When the power is cut off due to a power outage or the like, the stack pointer and the value of each register when the power is cut off (including when the power outage occurs; the same applies hereafter) are stored in the RAMH 203. On the other hand, when the power is turned on (including power-on due to power-off prevention; the same applies hereafter), the state of the pachinko machine H10 is restored to its state before the power-off is turned off based on information stored in the RAMH 203. Writing to RAMH 203 is performed when power is shut down by main processing (not shown), and the return of each value written to RAMH 203 is performed in the startup process (not shown) when power is turned on. Incidentally, the NMI terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the MPUH 201 is configured to input a power outage signal HSG1 from the power outage monitoring circuit H252 when power outage is shut down due to a power outage, etc., and when the power outage signal HSG1 is input to the MPUH 201, NMI interrupt processing (not shown) as a power outage processing is immediately executed.

[0133] An input / output port H205 is connected to the MPUH201 of the main controller H110 via a bus line H204 composed of an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port H205 is connected to a solenoid H209 consisting of a dispensing control device H111, an audio lamp control device H113, first pattern display devices H37A, H37B, second pattern display devices, second pattern hold lamp, a large opening solenoid for opening and closing the front side with the lower side of the opening / closing plate of the specific prize port H65a as the axis, and a solenoid for driving an electric vehicle, and the like, and the like, is connected to the input / output port H205. The MPUH201 transmits various commands and control signals to these through the input / output port H205.

[0134] The solenoid H209 may include not only a large open solenoid and a solenoid for driving the electric vehicle, but also includes a drive source (drive motor) for the role device disposed in the game board H13, a drive motor (not shown) for the ball launching unit H112a, and a drive motor (not shown) for driving the dispensing device H133 for throwing the ball to the upper plate H17.

[0135] The input / output port H205 is connected to various switches H208 consisting of sensors such as a group of switches (through gate H67) that detects that the ball has passed through a through gate H67 (not shown), a prize detection sensor (not shown), a vibration detection sensor (not shown), a vibration detection sensor (not shown), a vibration detection sensor (not shown), a magnet force detection sensor that detects that vibration has been input to the pachinko machine H10, a magnetic force detection sensor that detects that magnets or the like have come close to the game area of ​​the game board H13, and a RAM erase switch circuit H253 that is described later, which is provided in the power supply device H115, and the MPUH201 executes various processes based on the signals output from the various switches H208 and the RAM erase signal HSG2 output from the RAM erase switch circuit H253.

[0136] The various switches H208 may also be configured to include a frame button H22 (an operation button member H181 of the operation unit H180 and a decision button H191, an up button H192, a down button H193, a left button H194, and a right button H195) of the audio lamp control device H113.

[0137] The dispensing control device H111 drives the dispensing motor H216 to control the dispensing of prize balls and loan balls. The MPUH 211, which is an arithmetic unit, has a ROMH 212 that stores control programs, fixed value data, etc. executed by the MPUH 211, and a RAMH 213 that is used as a work memory, etc.

[0138] Like the RAMH 203 of the main controller H110, the RAMH 213 of the dispensing control device H111 has a stack area in which the contents of the internal registers of the MPUH 211 and the return address of the control program executed by the MPUH 211 are stored, and the work area (work area) in which various flags, counters, I / O values ​​are stored. The RAMH 213 is configured to be able to hold (back up) data by supplying a backup voltage from the power supply H115 even after the power supply of the pachinko machine H10 is cut off, and all data stored in the RAMH 213 is backed up. Incidentally, similar to the MPUH201 of the main controller H110, the NMI terminal of the MPUH211 is also configured to input a power outage signal HSG1 from the power outage monitoring circuit H252 when power outage is shut down due to a power outage or the like, and when the power outage signal HSG1 is input to the MPUH211, NMI interrupt processing (not shown) as a power outage processing is immediately executed.

[0139] An input / output port H215 is connected to the MPUH211 of the dispensing control device H111 via a bus line H214 composed of an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port H215 are connected to the main control device H110, the dispensing motor H216, the firing control device H112, and the like. Furthermore, although not shown, a prize ball detection switch for detecting the paid-out prize ball is connected to the pay-out control device H111. The prize ball detection switch is connected to the dispensing control device H111, but is not connected to the main control device H110.

[0140] When an instruction to fire a ball is given by the main control device H110, the launch control unit H112 controls the ball launch unit H112a so that the ball is launched in accordance with the amount of rotation of the operation handle H51.

[0141] The rotor H112a2 of the ball launching unit H112a is permitted to be driven when a predetermined condition is met. Specifically, the touch sensor H51a detects that the player is touching the operation handle H51, and on the condition that the firing stop switch H51b for stopping the firing of the ball is turned off (not operated), the driving force is transmitted from the drive motor in correspondence to the rotational operation amount (rotation position) of the operation handle H51, and the rotary body H112a2 is rotated at a speed corresponding to the operation amount of the operation handle H51. As a result, a ball is fired from the ball firing unit H112a between the inner rail H61 and the outer rail H62 with a strength corresponding to the amount of operation of the operation handle H51.

[0142] The audio lamp control device H113 controls the output of the audio in the audio output device (such as speakers not shown) H226, the output of the lights and turns off in the lamp display device (electric display units H29 to H33, etc.), and the setting of the display mode of the third pattern display device H81 performed by the display control device H114, such as the variation effect (variation display) and preview performance. The MPUH 221, which is an arithmetic unit, has a ROMH 222 that stores control programs, fixed value data, etc. executed by the MPUH 221, and a RAMH 223 that is used as a work memory, etc.

[0143] An input / output port H225 is connected to the MPUH221 of the audio lamp controller H113 via a bus line H224 composed of an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port H225 are connected to the main control device H110, the display control device H114, the audio output device H226, the lamp display device H227, other devices H228, the button member H181, and the like.

[0144] The other device H228 may include not only a drive source for the role device disposed in the game board H13, but also a drive motor (not shown) for the ball launching unit H112a, and an electric role H640a of the second prize opening H640.

[0145] The voice lamp control device H113 determines the display mode of the third pattern display device H81 based on various commands (variation pattern commands, stop type commands, etc.) received from the main control device H110, and notifies the determined display mode to the display control device H114 using commands (variation pattern commands for display, stop type commands for display, etc.).

[0146] The audio lamp control device H113 monitors the input from the button member H181, and when the button member H181 is operated by the player, it instructs the display control device H114 to change the stage displayed on the third pattern display device H81, or to change the performance content at the time of super reach. If the stage is changed, a rear image change command including information about the changed stage is sent to the display control device H114 in order to display the rear image according to the changed stage on the third pattern display device H81. Here, the rear image refers to an image displayed on the back side of the third pattern, which is the main image to be displayed on the third pattern display device H81. The display control device H114 displays various images on the third pattern display device H81 in accordance with the commands sent from the audio lamp control device H113.

[0147] Furthermore, the audio lamp control device H113 monitors inputs from the function adjustment operation unit H190 (decision button H191, up button H192, down button H193, left button H194, right button H195), and when the function adjustment operation unit H190 is operated by the player, it instructs the display control device H114 to change the volume of the speaker (audio output device H226), change the brightness of the third pattern display device H81, and change the brightness of the electric display units H29 to H33. When the volume or brightness is changed, the volume or brightness adjustment degree is temporarily displayed in numerical values, volume, etc. on the front side of the main display displayed on the third pattern display device H81.

[0148] In FIG. 10, the operation button member H181 of the operation unit H180 and the decision button H191, up button H192, down button H193, left button H194, and right button H195 of the function adjustment operation unit H190 are shown as frame button H22.

[0149] The audio lamp control device H113 also receives a command (display command) indicating the display contents of the third pattern display device H81 from the display control device H114. The audio lamp control device H113 outputs audio corresponding to the display contents from the audio output device H226 based on the display command received from the display control device H114, in accordance with the display contents of the third pattern display device H81, and controls the lighting and turning off of the lamp display device H227 in accordance with the display contents.

[0150] The display control device H114 is connected to the audio lamp control device H113 and the third design display H81, and controls display such as a change in the third design display device H81 based on a command received from the audio lamp control device H113. Furthermore, the display control device H114 transmits, as appropriate, a display command to the audio lamp control device H113 that notifies the display contents of the third pattern display device H81. The audio lamp control device H113 outputs audio from the audio output device H226 in accordance with the display contents indicated by this display command, so that the display of the third pattern display device H81 can be combined with the audio output device H226.

[0151] Incidentally, various switches H208 connected to the input / output port H205 of the main controller H110 may be configured to be connected to the input / output port H225 of the audio lamp controller H113, and the MPUH221 may perform various processes based on the signals output from the various switches H208. In addition, various switches may be connected to the input / output port H225 of the audio lamp controller H113 separately from the various switches H208 connected to the input / output port H205 of the main controller H110. In this case, it is desirable to configure the sensor group, such as the position detection sensor of the character device disposed in the game board H13, as various switches.

[0152] The power supply unit H115 includes a power supply unit H251 for supplying power to each part of the pachinko machine H10, a power outage monitoring circuit H252 for monitoring power outages due to power outages, etc., and a RAM erase switch circuit H253 provided with a RAM erase switch H122 (see FIG. 10). The power supply unit H251 is a device that supplies the operating voltages necessary for each of the control devices H110 to H114, etc. through a power supply path (not shown). In summary, the power supply unit H251 receives an AC voltage of 24 volts supplied from the outside, and generates various switches such as the H208, solenoids such as solenoids such as solenoids H209, 12 volts for driving motors, 5 volts for logic, backup voltages for RAM, and the like, and supplies the voltages of 12 volts, 5 volts and backup voltages to the respective controllers H110 to H114, etc., and supplies the required voltages of 12 volts, 5 volts and backup voltages to the respective controllers H110 to H114, etc.

[0153] The power outage monitoring circuit H252 is a circuit for outputting a power outage signal HSG1 to the NMI terminals of the MPUH201 of the main controller H110 and the MPUH211 of the dispensing control device H111 when power is cut off due to a power outage or the like. The power outage monitoring circuit H252 monitors the maximum voltage of DC stable 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit H251, and determines that a power outage (power outage, power outage) is generated when this voltage falls below 22 volts, and outputs the power outage signal HSG1 to the main controller H110 and the payout control device H111. By outputting the power outage signal HSG1, the main controller H110 and the payout control device H111 recognize that the power outage occurs and execute the NMI interrupt process. The power supply unit H251 is configured to maintain the output of the 5 volt drive voltage, which is the control system, at a normal value, for a period of sufficient time to execute the NMI interruption process, even after the DC stable voltage reaches less than 22 volts. Therefore, the main controller H110 and the dispensing control device H111 can successfully execute NMI interrupt processing (not shown) and complete the process.

[0154] The RAM erase switch circuit H253 is a circuit for outputting the RAM erase signal HSG2 for clearing the backup data to the main controller H110 when the RAM erase switch H122 (see FIG. 10) is pressed. When the RAM erase signal HSG2 is input when the pachinko machine H10 is turned on, the main control device H110 clears the backup data and transmits to the payout control device H111 a payout initialization command to clear the backup data in the payout control device H111.

[0155] Next, referring to Figures 11 to 71, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter simply referred to as a "pachinko machine") will be described as a second embodiment. FIG. 11 is a front view of the pachinko machine K10 according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 12 is a front view of the gaming board K13 of the pachinko machine K10.

[0156] In the following description, the front side of the pachinko machine K10 in the state shown in FIG. 11 is the front side of the paper side as the front side (front side) and the back side as the rear side (back side). Furthermore, the description will be made regarding the pachinko machine K10 in the state shown in FIG. 11 as the upper side (upper side), the lower side as the lower side as the lower side, the right side as the right side (right), and the left side as the left (left) side. Furthermore, the arrows U-D, L-R, and F-B in the figure (see, for example, FIG. 12) indicate the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the front and rear directions of the pachinko machine K10, respectively.

[0157] Incidentally, the same parts as those in the above-described embodiments are assigned the same reference numerals, and their descriptions will be omitted. Furthermore, similar codes are set to those having common functions, as in the case that the pachinko machine H10 in the first embodiment is referred to as the pachinko machine K10 in the present embodiment.

[0158] That is, in this embodiment, the pachinko machine K10 includes at least the front frame K14 (corresponding to the front frame H14 of the first embodiment), the base plate K60 (corresponding to the base plate H60 of the first embodiment), the inner rail K61 (corresponding to the inner rail H61 of the first embodiment), the outer rail K62 (corresponding to the outer rail H62 of the first embodiment), the general prize opening K63 (corresponding to the general prize opening H63 of the first embodiment), the first prize opening K64 (corresponding to the first prize opening H64 of the first embodiment), the second prize opening K640 (corresponding to the second prize opening H64 of the first embodiment). 1. The electric vehicle K640a (corresponding to the electric vehicle H640a of the first embodiment), a first variable winning device K65 (corresponding to the variable winning device H65 of the first embodiment), a first specific winning port K65a (corresponding to the specific winning port H65a of the first embodiment), a through gate K67 (corresponding to the through gate H67 of the first embodiment), a return ball prevention member K68 (corresponding to the return ball prevention member H68 of the first embodiment), a return rubber K69 (corresponding to the return rubber H69 of the first embodiment), and an out port K71 (corresponding to the out port H71 of the first embodiment).

[0159] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pachinko machine K10 includes at least an outer edge member K73 (corresponding to the outer edge member H73 of the first embodiment), a variable display unit K80 (corresponding to the variable display unit H80 of the first embodiment), a third pattern display device K81 (corresponding to the third pattern display device H81 of the first embodiment), and a center frame K86 (corresponding to the center frame H86 of the first embodiment).

[0160] As shown in FIG. 12, the game board K13 is formed by assembling a base plate K60 that has been machined into a substantially square shape when viewed from the front, in addition to numerous nails (not shown) for ball guides and a wind turbine KWF, rails K61, K62, general prize port K63, first prize port K64, second prize port K640, first variable prize port K65, second variable prize port K650, through gate K67, variable display unit K80, etc., and the like, and the peripheral portion of the game is attached to the back (or the front surface) of the inner frame H12 (see FIG. 11).

[0161] The base plate K60 is formed from a wooden plate member. The general prize opening K63, the first prize opening K64, the second prize opening K640, and the variable display unit K80 are arranged in a through hole formed in the base plate K60 by router processing, and are fixed from the front side of the game board K13 with tapping screws or the like. The base plate K60 may be made of a light-transmitting resin material. In this case, it is possible for the player to visually see various structures disposed on the back side of the base plate K60 from the front side.

[0162] The front center portion of the game board K13 can be seen from the front side of the inner frame H12 through a glass unit H16 (see FIG. 11) disposed in the front frame K14. The structure of the game board K13 will be explained below mainly with reference to FIG. 12.

[0163] An outer rail K62 formed by bending a strip-shaped metal plate into a generally arc-shaped arc is planted on the front of the game board K13, and an inner rail K61 formed by strip-shaped metal plate, similar to the outer rail K62, is planted at the inner position of the outer rail K62. The inner rail K61 and the outer rail K62 surround the front outer circumference of the game board K13, and the front and rear are surrounded by the game board K13 and the glass unit H16 (see FIG. 11), thereby forming a game area in front of the game board K13 where games are played by the behavior of the ball. The game area is a region (a region in which a prize opening or the like is disposed, where the fired ball flows down) is formed by partitioning two rails K61, K62 and the resin outer edge member K73 connecting the rails.

[0164] The two rails K61 and K62 are provided to guide balls fired from the ball launching unit H112a (see FIG. 10) to the top of the game board K13. A return ball prevention member K68 is attached to the tip of the inner rail K61 (the upper left of FIG. 12), preventing the ball being guided to the top of the game board K13 from returning to the ball guide passage once again. A return rubber K69 is attached to the tip of the outer rail K62 (the upper right of FIG. 12) at a position corresponding to the maximum flying portion of the ball, and the ball fired with a force greater than a predetermined level hits the return rubber K69 and bounces back towards the center side while attenuating its momentum.

[0165] First pattern display devices H37A and H37B are arranged at the lower left of the game area (lower left of FIG. 12) which are light emitting means and a 7-segment display device. The functions of the first pattern display devices H37A and H37B have been described in the first embodiment, and therefore the explanation will be omitted here.

[0166] In addition, in this pachinko machine K10, a lottery will be held when prizes are made at the first prize opening K64 and the second prize opening K640. In the lottery, the K10 pachinko machine will determine whether it is a big hit or not (a big win lottery), and if it is determined that it is a big hit, it also determines the type of jackpot. The jackpot types determined here include 15R time-saving regular jackpots, 4R time-saving regular jackpots, and 15R time-saving regular jackpots. The first pattern display devices H37A and H37B not only show whether the result of the lottery is a jackpot or not as a stop pattern after the change has ended, but also show the design according to the type of jackpot when it is a jackpot.

[0167] In this pachinko machine K10, not only does the chance of winning the second pattern increase during the time savings, but the time for the electric power K640a attached to the second prize opening K640 is also changed, and the time is set longer than normal. When the electric vehicle K640a is in an open state (open state), the ball is more likely to enter the second prize opening K640 than when the electric vehicle K640a is in an closed state (closed state). Therefore, during the time-saving period, the ball is more likely to win into the second prize opening K640, allowing the number of times the jackpot lottery will be held.

[0168] The state change between the open and closed state of the electric power K640a occurs due to the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing plate that can be slid forward and backward. When the electric power K640a is open, the opening and closing plate protrudes forward from the front of the base plate K60, allowing the game ball to roll on the top surface of the opening and closing plate, allowing the rolled game ball to enter the second prize opening K640, and when the electric power K640a is closed, the opening and closing plate is retracted backward from the front surface of the base plate K60, making it difficult for the game ball to enter the second prize opening K640, as the game ball to become unable to bridge the second prize opening K640.

[0169] Incidentally, as an example, when the state of the electric vehicle K640a changes between the open and closed states of the electric vehicle K640a due to the opening and closing operation that can be slid forward and backward, the second prize opening K640 is arranged below the electric vehicle K640a, and the opening and closing plate is retracted backward when the electric vehicle K640a is in the open state, and the opening and closing plate protrudes forward when the electric vehicle K640a is in the closed state. That is, when the electric vehicle K640a is open, the opening / closing plate is retracted backward from the front of the base plate K60, allowing the game ball to enter the second prize opening K640 side, and when the electric vehicle K640a is closed, the opening / closing plate may block the space between the game area and the second prize opening K640, making it difficult for the ball to enter the second prize opening K640 (flowing to the left).

[0170] Furthermore, the state change between the open and closed state of the electric power K640a may be caused by the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing plate, which has a rotational shaft at its lower end and rotates in a manner that tilts or stands up to the game area side. In this case, when the electric vehicle K640a is open, the game ball picked up on the top surface of the opening and closing plate is easily guided to the second prize opening K640, and when the electric vehicle K640a is closed, the opening and closing plate blocks the space between the game area and the second prize opening K640, making it difficult for the ball to enter the second prize opening K640.

[0171] In the game area, there are multiple general prize openings K63 in which five to 15 balls are fed out as prize balls when a ball wins. In addition, a variable display unit K80 is disposed at a position that can be viewed through the center of the game area (behind the window of the base plate K60). The variable display unit K80 is provided with a third design display device K81 consisting of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply abbreviated as "display device") that displays the third design while synchronizing with the variation display on the first design display devices H37A and H37B, and is a second design display device (not shown) that is composed of an LED that displays the second design with the passage of the through gate K67 as a trigger, which changes the second design by changing the second design with the passage of the sphere of the through gate K67 as a trigger. Furthermore, the base plate K60 has a center frame K86 surrounded by the third pattern display device K81 when viewed from the front.

[0172] The third pattern display device K81 is composed of a large liquid crystal display of about 9-inch to 19-inch size, and by controlling the display content by the display control device H114 (see FIG. 10), three pattern sequences, for example, are displayed, for example, on top, middle and on bottom. Each pattern row is composed of a plurality of patterns (third pattern), and these third patterns are scrolled horizontally for each pattern row, and the third pattern is displayed variablely on the display screen of the third pattern display device K81. The third pattern display device K81 of this embodiment displays the game state in conjunction with the control of the main control device H110 (see FIG. 10) by the first pattern display device H37A and H37B, while displaying the game state according to the display of the first pattern display device H37A and H37B. Instead of the display device, for example, a reel may be used to form the third pattern display device K81.

[0173] The second pattern display device performs a variable display in which the "○" and "X" patterns as the display patterns (second pattern (not shown)) are lit up for a specified amount of time each time the ball passes through the through gate K67. On the pachinko machine K10, if it is detected that the ball has passed through the through gate K67, a winning lottery is held. If the winning lottery results from the winning lottery, the second design display device will stop and display the "○" design after the second design change is displayed. Furthermore, if the winning lottery results are not accepted, the second design display device will stop and display the "x" design after the change of the third design is displayed.

[0174] The pachinko machine K10 is configured so that, when the variable display on the second pattern display device stops with a predetermined pattern (in this embodiment, the pattern with "○"), the electric vehicle K640a attached to the second prize opening K640 is in operation (opened) for a predetermined period of time.

[0175] The time required for displaying the second pattern is set so that the time required for the change in the second pattern is shorter than when the game is in a normal state. As a result, during the time-saving period, the second pattern is displayed in a short period of time, and therefore more winning lottery tickets can be held than during normal times. Therefore, the chances of winning in the winning lottery increase, allowing players to have more opportunities to open the electric role K640a of the second prize opening K640. Therefore, during the time-saving period, the ball can be easily entered into the second prize opening K640.

[0176] Furthermore, during the time-saving period, the chances of winning are increased, the opening time and number of openings of the electric power K640a for one hit are increased, and the opening times and the number of openings of the electric power K640a for one hit are increased, and the time required to display the fluctuations of the second pattern may be set constant regardless of the game state. On the other hand, when the time required for displaying the fluctuations of the second pattern is set to be shorter than normal during the time-saving period, the chances of winning may be set to be constant regardless of the game state, and the opening time and number of openings of the electric power K640a for each hit may be constant regardless of the game state.

[0177] The through gate K67 is assembled to the game board K13 in the area on the right side of the variable display unit K80, and is configured so that part of the ball fired on the game board K13 can pass through. When the ball passes through through gate K67, a second pattern will be held. After the winning lottery, a variation display is performed on the second pattern display device, and if the winning lottery results are a winning lottery, a "○" design is displayed as a stop pattern for the fluctuation display, and if the winning lottery results are a missing pattern for the winning lottery, a "×" design is displayed as a stop pattern for the fluctuation display.

[0178] The number of times the ball's through gate K67 passes is suspended for a total of up to four times, and the number of balls that are held are displayed by the first pattern display devices H37A and H37B as mentioned above, and also lit on the second pattern hold lamp (not shown). Four second pattern hold lamps are provided for the maximum number of holds, and are arranged symmetrically below the third pattern display device K81.

[0179] In addition, the variation of the second pattern may be displayed in the second pattern display device, in addition to switching the lighting and non-illumination of a plurality of lamps in the second pattern display device, as in this embodiment, it may be performed using a portion of the first pattern display devices H37A, H37B and a third pattern display device K81. Similarly, the second pattern hold lamp may be turned on by a part of the third pattern display device K81.

[0180] Furthermore, the maximum number of balls pending for passing through the ball of the through gate K67 is not limited to four, and may be set to three or less, or five or more times (for example, eight). Furthermore, the number of assembly of the through gate K67 is not limited to one, and may be, for example, two.

[0181] Furthermore, the assembly position of the through gate K67 is not limited to the right side of the variable display unit K80, but may be, for example, on the left and right side of the variable display unit K80 or below. Furthermore, when the number of balls held by the first pattern display devices H37A and H37B is indicated, the second pattern hold lamp may not display the lighting.

[0182] Below the variable display unit K80, a first prize opening K64 is disposed to allow a ball to be entered. When the ball enters the first prize opening K64, the first prize opening switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board K13 is turned on, and due to the on-hand of the first prize opening switch, a lottery for a jackpot is made by the main control device H110 (see FIG. 10) and a display according to the lottery result is shown by the first design display device H37A.

[0183] On the other hand, on the lower left side of the through gate K67, a second prize opening K640 is disposed where a ball can be entered. When the ball enters the second prize opening K640, the second prize opening switch (not shown) located on the back side of the game board K13 is turned on, and due to the on-hand of the second prize opening switch, a lottery for a jackpot is made by the main control device H110 (see FIG. 10) and a display according to the lottery result is shown on the first design display device H37B. The arrangement of the second prize opening K640 is not limited to this. For example, it may be located below the first prize opening K64 as viewed in front, or on the left side of the center of the game area (for example, on the lower left side of the front view of the first prize opening K64 as viewed in front).

[0184] Furthermore, the first and second prize openings K64 and the second prize openings K640 are each one of the prize openings where five balls are fed out as prize balls when a ball is entered. In this embodiment, the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the first prize opening K64 and the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the second prize opening K640 are configured to be the same. However, the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the first prize opening K64 and the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the second prize opening K640 may be configured to be different numbers, for example, the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the first prize opening K64 is set to three, and the number of prize balls that are paid out when a ball enters the second prize opening K640 is set to five. In this case, the relationship between the number of prize balls may be reversed.

[0185] The second prize opening K640 is accompanied by an electric power K640a. This electric vehicle K640a is configured to be open / close, and normally the electric vehicle K640a is closed (retreated) and it is difficult for the ball to win the second prize opening K640. On the other hand, when the second pattern is displayed as a result of the fluctuation display of the second pattern, which is triggered by the passage of the ball to the through gate K67, the pattern with "○" is displayed on the second pattern display device, the electric power K640a is in the open state (expanded state), and the ball is more likely to win the second prize opening K640.

[0186] As mentioned above, during the time-saving period, the chances of hitting the second pattern are higher than normal, and the time required for displaying the fluctuation of the second pattern is shorter, making it easier to display the "○" pattern when displaying the fluctuation of the second pattern, and the number of times the electric power K640a is opened (expanded) is increased. Furthermore, during the time-saving period, the time when the electric power K640a is opened is also longer than normal. Therefore, during the special mode and time-saving period, it is possible to create a state where the ball is more likely to enter the second prize opening K640 compared to normal.

[0187] Here, the probability of a jackpot being the same (approximately 1 / 319) between the ball winning at the first prize opening and the ball winning at the second prize opening. However, the type of jackpot selected when a jackpot is a jackpot, with a 15-R time-saving type, and the probability of a normal jackpot being a regular jackpot is set higher when the ball enters the second prize opening K640 than when the ball enters the first prize opening K64. On the other hand, the first prize opening K64 does not have the electric power K640a such as that found in the second prize opening K640, and the ball is in a state where it is always possible to win.

[0188] Therefore, during normal circumstances, the electric vehicle K640a associated with the second prize opening K640 is often closed, making it difficult to win at the second prize opening K640, so that the ball passes through the left side of the variable display unit K80 towards the first prize opening K64 that does not have the electric vehicle K640a (so-called "left hit") and aims to win the first prize opening K64, resulting in more opportunities for a jackpot lottery, and a player will aim to win a jackpot.

[0189] On the other hand, during the time-saving period, by passing the ball through the through gate K67, the electric vehicle K640a associated with the second prize opening K640 is likely to be opened, making it easier to enter the second prize opening K640, so that the ball passes towards the second prize opening K640 (so-called "right-handed") towards the second prize opening K640, and it is advantageous for players to aim for the ball to pass through the through gate K67 to open the electric vehicle K640a, and the 15th round time-saving period will be reduced.

[0190] Unlike the pachinko machine K10 in this embodiment, when the configuration of the game board K13 is symmetrical, it is possible to aim for the first prize opening K64 with a right-handed hit, or to aim for the second prize opening K640 with a left-handed hit. In this case, the hassle of changing the way the ball is hit can be removed from the player.

[0191] On the other hand, in the pachinko machine K10 according to this embodiment, the ball fired by the "right-handed" is not able to aim for the first prize opening K64, and the ball fired by the "left-handed" is not passed through the through gate K67. Therefore, the pachinko machine K10 of this embodiment can request the player to change the way the ball is fired to "left-handed" and "right-handed" depending on the game state (whether the game is in the middle of time saving or normal) of the pachinko machine K10. Therefore, by adding gameplay that changes the way the ball hits, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming slow.

[0192] A second variable winning device K650 (see FIG. 12) is disposed to the right of the first winning port K64, and a second specific winning port K650a is provided at a downstream position. In the pachinko machine K10, when the jackpot lottery that was conducted due to the winnings at the first prize opening K64 or the second prize opening K640 becomes a jackpot, after a prescribed time (variable time) has passed, the first design display device H37A or the first design display device H37B is turned on to become a jackpot stop pattern, and the stop pattern corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the third design display device K81, indicating the occurrence of a jackpot. After that, the game state changes to a special game state (jacket) where the ball is likely to win. As this special game state, the second specific prize opening K650a, which is normally closed, is opened for a specified period (for example, until 30 seconds has passed, or until 10 balls have won).

[0193] This second specific prize opening K650a is closed after a certain period of time has passed, and after that, the second specific prize opening K650a is opened again for a certain period of time. The opening / closing operation of the second specific prize opening K650a can be repeated at most, for example, 15 times (15 rounds). This opening and closing operation is a form of special game state that is advantageous for the player, and the player pays out a larger amount of prize balls than normal as a gift for the player (play value).

[0194] If the jackpot that was drawn is a time-saving standard jackpot, you can win the game into the second prize slot K640 by playing right-handed games during the time-saving after the jackpot game has ended. In this embodiment, the number of times given is three times, and when a game ball wins at the second prize opening K640, a small hit occurs with a probability of about 1 / 2, and the LED corresponding to the small hit lights on the first pattern display devices H37A and H37B. This small win causes the first specific prize opening K65a located upstream of the second specific prize opening K650a to be opened for a specified period of time, and while the first specific prize opening K65a is opened, the ball enters the first specific prize opening K65a and passes through the specific area K65c downstream of the specific prize opening K65a, as a trigger, the game state transitions to the special game state (jackout).

[0195] In this way, in the pachinko machine K10, when a game ball enters the second prize opening K640 in right-handed games, it is possible to transition the game state to a special game state with a probability of about 1 / 2, which is significantly higher than the Jackpot probability (approximately 1 / 319) in left-handed games, and thus the player's interest in right-handed games can be improved.

[0196] Furthermore, the number of specific prize openings K65a, K650a is not limited, and one or more than one (for example, three) may be arranged, and the arrangement position is not limited to the right of the first prize opening K64, but may be, for example, on the lower right side of the first prize opening K64, the lower left side of the first prize opening K64, the left, the right side of the first prize opening K64, the left, the right side of the variable display unit K80, or the upper side.

[0197] The game board K13 has an out-opening K71. Balls that flow down the game area and do not win at any of the winning ports K63, K64, K65a, K640, K650a are guided through the out port K71 to a ball discharge path (not shown).

[0198] The game board K13 is equipped with a large number of nails to appropriately distribute and adjust the direction of the ball falling, and various other components (vectors) such as wind turbines are provided.

[0199] The other devices H228 in this embodiment (see FIG. 10) include drive solenoid KSOL 41 and drive motors KMT41a, KMT41b, KMT51, KMT61, KMT71, KMT81, KMT82, and the like.

[0200] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the other device H228 (see FIG. 10) may not only include the drive source for the above-mentioned role device, but also includes a drive motor (not shown) for the ball launching unit H112a, a drive source, etc. for the electric vehicle K640a of the second prize opening K640 (drive solenoid K247, drive solenoid K253, etc.).

[0201] In addition, various switches H208 in this embodiment (see FIG. 10) include detection sensors K413, K418, K556a, K556b, K556c, K565, K711e, K716, K858, and the like.

[0202] Next, the structure of the game board K13 and the movement unit K300 will be described. FIG. 13 is an exploded front perspective view of the game board K13 and the movement unit A200. In the description of FIG. 13, FIG. 12 will be referred to as appropriate.

[0203] The movement unit K300 is located on the back side of the game board K13, and various light emitting means and various movement units are arranged inside, but details will be described later. With the support plate portion K313 of the motion unit K300 supported on the game board K13 on the surface, the fastening screw is screwed into the base plate K60 of the game board K13, so that the game board K13 and the motion unit K300 are fixed integrally, and the overall rigidity of the game board K13 and the motion unit K300 is improved.

[0204] The base plate K60 is formed in a plate shape from a light-transmitting resin material, and is configured to make it easier for players to see various structures arranged from the front side to the rear side of the base plate K60. This allows the structure disposed on the rear side of the base plate K60 to be visually visible and used for various effects, regardless of the shape or arrangement of the base plate K60. If there are any areas that the player does not want to show, it is possible to deal with the situation by sticking a seal member with low light transmittance (or light impermeable) or the like.

[0205] FIG. 14 is an exploded front perspective view of the game board K13. FIG. 14 illustrates a state in which the decorative cover K220 is disassembled from the winning unit K200. Also, similarly to FIG. 12, the sphere guide nails are omitted, and in addition, the wind turbine KWF (see FIG. 12) is omitted.

[0206] FIG. 15 is an exploded front perspective view of the winning unit K200, and FIG. 16 is an exploded rear perspective view of the winning unit K200. As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the winning unit K200 includes a base member K201 that is fastened to the front surface of the base plate K60, a decorative cover K220 disposed on the front side of the base member K201 and constitutes a flow path of the ball along with the base member K201, a first electric vehicle K240 having an electric vehicle K640a that moves forward and backward from the rear side of the base member K201, and a second electric vehicle K250 serving as a second variable winning device K650 that is disposed on the rear side of the base member K201 below the first electric vehicle K240 and has a movable plate K251 that moves forward and backward from the rear side of the base member K201.

[0207] The base member K201 is a plate-shaped main body K202 in which a light-diffusing shape is formed inside the protruding edge portion formed in the back side, a guide opening K203 that is formed in the plate-shaped main body K202, a plurality of reduction projections K204 that are protruding from the front side to reduce the ball flowing down the front side of the guide opening K203, a guide opening K205 that is formed in the plate-shaped main body K202 below the guide opening K203, a protruding portion K206 that is protruding from the front side along the lower edge of the guide opening K205, and a plurality of reductions that are recessed in the plate-on-board main body K202 at the top of the guide opening K205. The plate has a speed recess K207, a long protrusion K208 formed in a protrusion shape in the left and right direction at a position below the guide opening K203 and above the guide opening K205, an extension portion K209 extending backward along the upper edge of the guide opening K205, a plurality of ball guide portions K210 formed below the guide opening K205 so that the ball can be guided backwards, and a plurality of light emitting portions K212 such as LEDs that can irradiate light at a location where the light diffusion shape is formed of the plate-like body K202, and is fastened and fixed to the backside of the plate-like body K202.

[0208] The decorative cover K220 is a plate-shaped body K221 that divides the front and rear of the flow path of the ball along with the plate-shaped body K202 of the base member K201, an extension formation portion K222 that extends from the plate-shaped body K221 to form a flow path of the ball, a branch-shaped portion K223 that protrudes from the plate-shaped body K221 to the rear side at the inside of the region edged by the extension formation portion K222, and branch-shaped portion K223 that branch-shaped body K221 to branch out the flow path, and a guide opening K20 of the base member K201 that protrudes from the plate-shaped body K221 to the rear side at the inside of the region edged by the extension formation portion K222. The film includes an inclined portion K224 formed on the rear surface with an inclined surface that guides the ball towards 3, a plurality of reduction projections K225 formed to protrude from the plate-shaped body K221 to the rear side corresponding to the front position of the reduction recess K207 of the base member K201, and a plurality of light emitting portions K228 such as LEDs that can irradiate light at a location below the region edged by the extension formation portion K222, and is formed to form a substantially uniform surface with the extension end of the extension formation portion K222, thereby opening a sufficient distance from the plate-shaped body K221 to fasten and secured to the decorative cover K220.

[0209] The first electric vehicle K240 includes a second prize entry port K640, an electric vehicle K640a that can guide the ball towards the second prize entry port K640 in a protruding state (open state) that is disposed forwardly through the guide opening K203, a support box member K246 that is disposed inside a drive solenoid K247 that drives the electric vehicle K640a and supports the electric vehicle K640a from the lower side, and is provided, and an upper cover member K248 that guides the upper surface of the electric vehicle K640a so that the electric vehicle K640a can be displaced in the front and rear direction, and forms a ceiling portion of the path to the second prize entry port K640.

[0210] The electric power K640a is made of a colored (red in this embodiment) opaque resin material, and includes a first forming surface K241 that is inclined downwardly towards the left, a second forming surface K242 that is connected to the downstream end of the first forming surface K241 and is inclined downwardly towards the rear, and a third forming surface K243 that is inclined downwardly towards the right and rearwardly on the left side (left side) of the second forming surface K242 that is inclined downwardly towards the right and rearwardly on the left front portion opposite to the first forming surface K241 inclined downwardly towards the right and rearwardly.

[0211] The second electric vehicle K250 includes a movable plate K251 that can move forward and backward in the front and rear direction through the guide opening K205, and a support box member K252 disposed inside which a drive solenoid K253 drives the movable plate K251 is supported from the lower side.

[0212] The movable plate K251 is made of a colored (red in this embodiment) opaque resin material, and in a protruding state (closed state) in which the drive solenoid K253 protrudes forward in a de-energized state, the ball enters the second specific prize entry port K650a is prevented, and in a retracted state (open state), in which the drive solenoid K253 retracts backward in a state where the drive solenoid K253 is excited, the ball enters the second specific prize entry port K650a is allowed.

[0213] When the movable plate K251 is overhanged, when the weight of the ball acts in the direction in which the movable plate K251 is tilted, the protruding portion K206 contacts the lower surface of the movable plate K251, thereby preventing the leaning.

[0214] Furthermore, since an extension portion K209 is disposed above the rear end side of the movable plate K251, the extension portion K209 comes into contact with the upper surface of the movable plate K251, thereby preventing the movable plate K251 from tilting. In this way, by contacting at multiple locations, the tilting of the movable plate K251 can be prevented.

[0215] FIG. 17 is a partially enlarged front view of the game board K13 in the Z01m section of FIG. 12, and FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of the game board K13 in the X02m-X02m line of FIG. 17. In FIG. 17, the inner shape of the decorative cover K220 is illustrated in phantom lines.

[0216] As illustrated in FIG. 17, the branching forming portion K223 is arranged so as to guide the ball that reaches the upper surface facing the right end of the electric vehicle K640a. Furthermore, the portion of the inclined forming portion K224 protrudes to the right side, corresponding to the third forming surface K243 of the first electric vehicle K240, tilts downwardly towards the right when viewed from the front.

[0217] This allows the collision between the third forming surface K243 and the inclined forming portion K224 when the electric vehicle K640a of the first electric vehicle K240 is collided with the upper surface of the electric vehicle K640a, causing a displacement such that the electric vehicle K640a jumps up and downwardly, so that the collision between the third forming surface K243 and the inclined forming portion K224 can be made into a surface collision, compared to when the load at the time of collision occurs at a point, and the load received by the third forming surface K243 can be distributed, making it easier to avoid breaking the electric vehicle K640a.

[0218] In FIG. 17, a large design K221a and a small design K221b are shown on the front side of the plate-like body K221 of the decorative cover K220. Here, in this embodiment, the same red as the electric vehicle K640a and the movable plate K251 are selected as the border color of the large design K221a, and the portions other than the border are basically colorless and transparent, and in particular, when overlapping with the electric board K227 in front and back, the small design K221b is formed as a colored (white in this embodiment) opaque decoration. In response, the large design K221a is shaded in red, and the small design K221b is shown without shaded.

[0219] The small design K221b is designed as a tip shape with an arrow (bracket shape with vertices on the lower left side) that indicates the direction along the flow path of the ball rolling on the top surface of the electric vehicle K640a, and functions to suggest the flow path of the ball to the player who has seen the small design K221b.

[0220] In this way, by matching the large design K221a as decoration of the decorative cover K220 with the electric power K640a and the movable plate K251, the electric power K640a and the movable plate K251 can be visually recognized by the player as part of the decoration.

[0221] In this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the inclination direction of the electric vehicle K640a and the movable plate K251 (the direction of tilting downward towards the left side) are aligned with the inclination of the large design K221a, so that the electric vehicle K640a and the movable plate K251 and the large design K221a can be combined to make the large design K221a visible as a "one decoration pattern." In this case, the visual appearance of the electric vehicle K640a and the movable plate K251 can be used to change the visually visible "one decorative pattern" described above.

[0222] As shown in FIG. 17, the plate-like body K221 is colorless and transparent in front of the guide path (the route along the top surface) of the ball by the electric vehicle K640a or the movable plate K251, making it easy to see. Therefore, the visibility of the ball guided by the electric power K640a or the movable plate K251 can be improved.

[0223] Furthermore, the front of the ball's guide path (the path along the top surface) by the electric vehicle K640a or movable plate K251 is a large design K221a of the plate-like body K221, and the visibility is reduced to a colored (red in this embodiment) than the colorless transparent part. This allows the player to guide the gaze to the ball's guide path (a path along the top surface) using the electric power function K640a or movable plate K251 with good visibility, making it easier to distinguish the ball when the ball is guided by the electric power function K640a or movable plate K251.

[0224] In FIG. 18, the arrangement of the electric vehicle K640a (retreatment state) and the movable plate K251 (expanded state) in the de-energized state of the first electric vehicle K240 and the second electric vehicle K250 is illustrated by solid lines, and the arrangement of the electric vehicle K640a (expanded state) and the movable plate K251 (retreatment state) in the excitation state of the first electric vehicle K240 and the second electric vehicle K250 is illustrated by phantom lines.

[0225] The electric power K640a has its upper surface as the flow down surface of the sphere in the excited state (expanded state). That is, the ball guided through the guide opening K203 to the second prize entry port K640 (see FIG. 15) rolls on the top surface of the electric power K640a in the protruding state, illustrated by the phantom line in FIG. 18.

[0226] Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the light from the light emitting unit K212 shown in FIG. 18 is an LED that emits light that can be seen by the player using the directional viewing KDR21 that is located below the electric power K640a and above the movable plate K251 and is irradiated with light that can be seen by the player, which is viewed by the player, obliquely downward, is hidden by the ball that rolls the electric power K640a and is no longer reaching the player's eyes.

[0227] That is, since the light from the light emitting portion K212 shown in FIG. 18 passes below the electric power source K640a and reaches the player's eyes, the visual appearance of the light from the light emitting portion K212 is prevented from being changed depending on whether or not a ball rolls on the top surface of the electric power source K640a.

[0228] Furthermore, light from the light emitting portion K212 acts to brighten the electric vehicle K640a itself, allowing the electric vehicle K640a to be brightened. Since light from the light emitting portion K212 is not shielded by a ball rolling over the electric vehicle K640a before it reaches the electric vehicle K640a, the brightness (appearance) of the electric vehicle K640a can be prevented from changing depending on whether there is a bulb on the electric vehicle K640a. In this way, regardless of whether or not there is a ball on the electric vehicle K640a, the electric vehicle K640a can be brightened, and the visibility of the ball rolling on the electric vehicle K640a can be improved.

[0229] In this case, the degree to which the electric vehicle K640a is brightened can be increased in a portion with a smaller plate thickness, such as the forming portion of the first forming surface K241, so that the brightness of the electric vehicle K640a can be brightened in the forming portion of the first forming surface K241 than in the forming portion of the third forming surface K243.

[0230] This allows the player to guide the gaze upstream of the downstream side of the flow path of the ball rolling on the electric power K640a, and it is possible to draw attention to the branching of the ball at the branch forming section K223.

[0231] This allows the player to grasp the presence of a ball that can be flowing leftward along the upper surface of the branch forming section K223 and being guided to the upper surface of the electric vehicle K640a, and the presence of a ball that can be flowing rightward along the upper surface of the branch forming section K223 and flowing downstream without being guided to the electric vehicle K640a, so the number of balls that are guided to the second prize opening K640 (see FIG. 15) is smaller than the number of balls that are fired, making it easier to prevent the player from thinking that the ball leaks from the game area or the ball is not fired properly, and the player will stop the game.

[0232] As shown in FIG. 18, the movable plate K251 of the second electric vehicle K250 is protruding downward in a protruding shape with its left and right edges extending in the front-rear direction, and the protruding tip of the movable plate K251 is supported by the protruding portion K206 of the base member K201, thereby preventing changes in posture in the forward tilt direction of the movable plate K251 when it is protruding.

[0233] Furthermore, an extension portion K209 is formed on the upper side of the movable plate K251, and when the movable plate K251 changes its posture in the forward tilt direction, the posture change is regulated. That is, in this embodiment, a shaped portion for suppressing the change in posture of the movable plate K251 is formed on the base member K201, and is not formed on the decorative cover K220.

[0234] By using this configuration, the effect of suppressing the posture change of the movable plate K251 can be reduced while the area in which the concave-convex shape is formed on the decorative cover K220 can be narrowed, and the visibility of the decorative route when the decorative cover K220 is visually recognized via the decorative cover K220 can be improved.

[0235] The extending portion K209 has a shape of the bottom surface curved so as to totally reflect light from the front or oblique front and upward direction. This prevents the player from seeing the rear side of the movable plate K251, which extends backwards than the plate-shaped main body K202 where the base end of the extension portion K209 is disposed, and the player can focus exclusively on the part that protrudes forwards from the plate-shaped main body K202.

[0236] In this embodiment, the structure below the extension portion K209 is not visible due to the design of the shape of the extension portion K209, but this is not necessarily limited to this. For example, a mirror tape or light shielding tape may be attached to the surface of the extension portion K209 to prevent light transmission.

[0237] Furthermore, when the vicinity of the movable plate K251 is viewed by the front-rear view of the KDR22 in the front-rear direction, a reduction recess K207 is formed so that the upper surface of the movable plate K251 in the protruding state can be viewed via the upper edge portion K207a of the reduction recess K207. That is, the upper edge K207a functions like a mirror, allowing the upper edge K207a to be visually visible in the color of the movable plate K251 (red in this embodiment).

[0238] On the other hand, when the movable plate K251 is in a retracted state, the tip of the movable plate K251 retracts backwards from the upper edge portion K207a, so that the upper edge portion K207a functions like a mirror, allowing the upper edge portion K207a to be visually visible in the color near the top surface of the protruding portion K206 (colorless and transparent in this embodiment, and the same as the upper edge portion K207a).

[0239] That is, the visual appearance (color) of the upper edge portion K207a can be changed depending on whether the movable plate K251 is in a protruding state (visualized in red) or the movable plate K251 is in a retracted state (visualized in colorless and transparent). This makes it possible to increase the degree of change in the visual appearance of the visibility of the vibrating plate K251 when the state of the movable plate K251 changes.

[0240] The upper edge K207a is formed in a line shape that is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the movable plate K251 in the center and right side, so that the upper edge K207a extends parallel to the flow downward direction of the sphere is visible in the same red color as the movable plate K251 on a slightly higher side than the ball rolling on the upper surface of the movable plate K251. This allows the player to grasp the flow downward direction of the ball rolling on the upper surface of the movable plate K251 by the upper edge K207a, which is at a different position from the movable plate K251.

[0241] Furthermore, in the deceleration recess K207 on the left side, the upper edge portion K207a is formed in a line that tilts downward and inclines in the left direction toward the flow path (the flow path left of the movable plate K251) where the ball is guided to the left (the flow path left of the movable plate K251), so that the upper edge portion K207a extends along the flow direction of the ball flowing past the left end of the movable plate K251 is visible in the same red color as the movable plate K251. This allows the player to grasp the flow downward direction of the ball after passing the upper surface of the movable plate K251 to the left by the upper edge K207a at a different position from the movable plate K251.

[0242] The upper edge K207a will be further described with reference to Figures 17 and 18. The reduction recess K207 on which the upper edge portion K207a is formed is formed so that the upper and lower width is longer than the diameter of the ball so that the ball can enter.

[0243] Therefore, even if the ball rolls around the top surface of the movable plate K251 when the player is viewing the directional view of the movable plate K251, the upper edge K207a is not hidden by the sphere. Therefore, two red line decorations can be made visible by the movable plate K251 above and below the ball that rolls on the top surface of the movable plate K251 and the upper edge K207a, which is inclined to the lower left, similar to the movable plate K251.

[0244] Here, when the upper edge portion K207a acts as a mirror to visualize the movable plate K251 relative to the directional viewing KDR22, the path of light passes through the deceleration recess K207, so even if there is a ball flowing down on the movable plate K251, it will not affect the visual appearance of the upper edge portion K207a if the ball does not enter the deceleration recess K207.

[0245] Furthermore, even when the ball has entered the deceleration recess K207, while the ball is a sphere, the recessed end of the deceleration recess K207 is flat, and the deceleration recess K207 is not filled with the sphere, so light that is not shielded by the sphere will be reflected by the upper edge K207a and reach the player's eyes.

[0246] Therefore, even when the ball flows down on the movable plate K251, the change in the visual appearance of the upper edge portion K207a can be reduced. That is, the state in which the upper edge K207a is visible in red can be commonly generated whether there is a ball on the movable plate K251 or not.

[0247] As illustrated in FIG. 17, in this embodiment, the upper edge portion K207a and the movable plate K251 are arranged along the edge of the large design K221a of the decorative cover K220, and the color of the edge of the large design K221a of the decorative cover K220 is the same as the color of the movable plate K251.

[0248] Therefore, when the movable plate K251 is in a protruding state, the upper edge K207a acts to partially thicken the edge of the large design K221a, and when the movable plate K251 is in a retracted state, the upper edge K207a is visually transparent, and the large design K221a is visually visually visible so that the edge of the large design K221a is uniform.

[0249] The player can grasp the state of the movable plate K251 by visually seeing the thickness of the large design K221a. The player can grasp the state of the movable plate K251 by visually seeing the thickness of the rewripping of the large design K221a.

[0250] A deceleration projection K225 of the decorative cover K220 is located on the front side of the flow path of the ball rolling on the movable plate K251. Unlike the deceleration recess K207, the vertical width of the deceleration protrusion K225 is smaller than the diameter of the ball (it is smaller than the radius of the ball). This prevents the ball from being hidden (makes hard to see) by the deceleration projection K225 when it rolls on the movable plate K251, and the player is unable to grasp the position of the ball.

[0251] 19, 20, 21 and 22 are perspective views of the winning unit K200 in the directional view KDR21 seen from the diagonally downward. 19, 20, 21 and 22, in order to explain the difference in visual appearance of the large design K221a and small design K221b of the decorative cover K220 due to the difference in placement of the electric power K640a and the movable plate K251, the outer shape of the plate-shaped body K221 is illustrated by phantom lines, and the positions of the large design 221a and small design K221b are illustrated, and the arrangement of the branching formation portion K223, inclined formation portion K224 and the reduction projection K225 as shaped portions protruding back side are illustrated by phantom lines.

[0252] Furthermore, in Figures 19, 20, 21 and 22, the edges of the large red design K221a, the electric vehicle K640a and the movable plate K251 are provided with a common shade. Note that details of the flow path of the ball guided by the winning unit K200 are not shown, so the details of the flow path will be referred to FIG. 17 as appropriate.

[0253] In FIG. 19, the electric vehicle K640a is placed in the retracted state (de-energized state) in the first electric vehicle K240, and the movable plate K251 is placed in the protruding state (de-energized state) in the second electric vehicle K250. This state primarily corresponds to the normal state.

[0254] The state shown in FIG. 19 is a state in which the ball flowing down the winning unit K200 is not guided to the second prize opening K640 (see FIG. 15) nor is it directed to the second specific prize opening K650a (see FIG. 17).

[0255] In this state, the large design K221a is visually visible as if the movable plate K251 is entering the upper and lower center portion inside the edge, and can impress the player as if the shape of the large design K221a itself has been cut.

[0256] Therefore, since the shape of the large design K221a itself is visually seen as if it is cut, and the state in which the ball is not guided to the second prize opening K640 and the second specific prize opening K650a corresponds to the state in which the ball entered the prize unit K200 is not guided, the player can predict how the ball entered into the prize unit K200 will flow down from the visual appearance of the large design K221a. Therefore, the player's fatigue level can be reduced compared to when it is necessary to visually recognize the ball itself to grasp (predict) the flow of the ball entered into the winning unit K200.

[0257] In FIG. 20, the electric vehicle K640a is placed in the protruding state (excited state) in the first electric vehicle K240, and the movable plate K251 is placed in the protruding state (non-excited state) in the second electric vehicle K250. This state mainly corresponds to conditions that occur frequently in time-saving or special-mode states.

[0258] The state shown in FIG. 20 is a state in which the ball flowing down the winning unit K200 can be guided to the second prize opening K640 (see FIG. 15), but is not guided to the second specific prize opening K650a (see FIG. 17).

[0259] In this state, the small design K221b is viewed as a pointed decoration with the red background of the electric device K640a visible as it enters the inside of the edge of the large design K221a. In this case, the white small design K221b can be made more noticeable compared to the case where the background color is colorless as shown in FIG. 19.

[0260] Therefore, since the small design K221b is visually recognized as a one-point decoration with the red background of the electric vehicle K640a, and the state in which the ball can be guided to the second prize opening K640, the player can predict whether a ball entered into the winning unit K200 can be entered into the second prize opening K640 from the visual appearance of the small design K221b. Therefore, the player's fatigue level can be reduced compared to when it is necessary to visually recognize the ball itself to grasp (predict) the flow of the ball entered into the winning unit K200.

[0261] Here, if the small design K221b applied to the decorative cover K220 is an easy to distinguish, the decoration may become in the way and the flow of the ball itself may become difficult to see. Conversely, if the decoration is made light to make the flow of the ball easier to see, it may have a small presentation effect that is difficult to see as an decoration. Although it is possible to use light guide panels that allow the shape to be raised by irradiation of light, there are problems such as being expensive or limited in placement due to design conditions such as a certain thickness, and so it is not universal.

[0262] In contrast, in this embodiment, rather than completing the decoration on the front of the decorative cover K220, the electric power K640a is configured so that the electric power K640a can influence the appearance of the small design K221b, thereby achieving both the appearance of the decoration and the ease of viewing of the sphere.

[0263] That is, by making the small design K221b an unobtrusive decoration, when the electric vehicle K640a is in a retracted state, the small design K221b is not noticeable, making the ball itself flowing down the back side of the decorative cover K220 focused on, while when the electric vehicle K640a is in a protruding state, the small design K221b itself can be made to stand out, and the effect of displaying as an decoration that is expected to enter the second prize opening K640 can be improved.

[0264] When the small design K221b is made to stand out against the electric vehicle K640a as the background, there is a concern that the appearance of the small design K221b will change if the ball enters between the small design K221b and the electric vehicle K640a.

[0265] Considering that the front and rear width of the flow path formed by the plate-shaped body K202 of the base member K201 and the plate-shaped body K221 of the decorative cover K220 (see FIG. 15) is sufficiently longer than the diameter of the ball (approximately 19 mm), and that the pachinko machine K10 is generally inclined to the rear by a few degrees (approximately 1 degree), there is a high possibility that the ball rolling on the top surface of the electric vehicle K640a will flow down while contacting the plate-shaped body K202 of the base member K201 located on the rear, so the possibility that the ball, which is the premise of the ball entering between the small design K221b and the electric vehicle K640a, will approach the decorative cover K220 side (flows downwards from the front side).

[0266] Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the ball to enter between the small design K221b and the electric vehicle K640a, and it is possible to make it easier to prevent changes in the appearance of the small design K221b when the ball is rolling over the electric vehicle K640a.

[0267] In FIG. 21, the electric vehicle K640a is placed in the retracted state (de-energized state) in the first electric vehicle K240, and the movable plate K251 is placed in the retracted state (excited state) in the second electric vehicle K250. This state mainly corresponds to the state during a round game in a special game state.

[0268] The state shown in FIG. 21 is a state in which the ball flowing down the winning unit K200 is not guided to the second prize opening K640 (see FIG. 15) but can be guided to the second specific prize opening K650a (see FIG. 17).

[0269] The tip of the movable plate K251 in the retracted state is sufficiently stored to the rear of the guide opening K205 (see FIG. 18), and is not visible by the directional DR21. Furthermore, due to the effect of total reflection of the extension portion K209 (see FIG. 18) covering the upper side of the movable plate K251 in the retracted state, it is not possible to visually see the movable plate K251 via the extension portion K209, and therefore, in the state shown in FIG. 21, the movable plate K251 can be completely hidden.

[0270] In the state shown in FIG. 21, the electric vehicle K640a does not constitute the background color of the small design K221b, and the movable plate K251 is not visible inside the edge of the large design K221a, so the player can visually see the shape of the large design K221a itself.

[0271] Therefore, since the shape of the large design K221a itself is visually recognized without being cut and the state in which the ball can be guided to the second specific prize opening K650a corresponds, the player can predict how the ball entered into the prize unit K200 will flow down from the visual appearance of the large design K221a. Therefore, the player's fatigue level can be reduced compared to when it is necessary to visually recognize the ball itself to grasp (predict) the flow of the ball entered into the winning unit K200.

[0272] In this embodiment, in the directional view DR21, the state switching can be grasped by whether the movable plate K251 is visible inside the edge of the large design K221a, while in the directional view DR22, the state switching can be grasped by whether the thickness of the edge of the large design K221a changes in part, as described above in FIG. 17, when the upper edge portion K207a is visible in red, as shown in FIG. 17, the state switching can be grasped by whether the thickness of the edge of the large design K221a changes in part.

[0273] Thus, in this embodiment, although the main body that causes a change in appearance is common to the movable plate K251, there are multiple targets for changing the appearance, so even if the directional vision of the player viewing the winning unit K200 changes during the game, the objective of making it possible to predict how the ball that enters the winning unit K200 will flow down from the viewing mode of the large design K221a.

[0274] In FIG. 22, the electric vehicle K640a is placed in the protruding state (excited state) in the first electric vehicle K240, and the movable plate K251 is placed in the retracted state (excited state) in the second electric vehicle K250. This state corresponds to a situation in which the electric role K640a is driven, when the game is mainly in a special game state, when the second pattern is drawn.

[0275] The state illustrated in FIG. 22 is a state in which the ball flowing down the winning unit K200 can be guided to the second prize opening K640 (see FIG. 15) or to the second specific prize opening K650a (see FIG. 17).

[0276] In this state, the small design K221b is viewed as a pointed decoration with the red background of the electric device K640a visible as it enters the inside of the edge of the large design K221a. In this case, the white small design K221b can be made more noticeable compared to the case where the background color is colorless as shown in FIG. 19.

[0277] Therefore, since the small design K221b is visually recognized as a one-point decoration with the red background of the electric vehicle K640a, and the state in which the ball can be guided to the second prize opening K640, the player can predict whether a ball entered into the winning unit K200 can be entered into the second prize opening K640 from the visual appearance of the small design K221b. Therefore, the player's fatigue level can be reduced compared to when it is necessary to visually recognize the ball itself to grasp (predict) the flow of the ball entered into the winning unit K200.

[0278] On the other hand, in the special game state, the excitation time of the electric power K640a is extremely shortened, so it is not possible for the ball to actually enter the second prize opening K640. Therefore, the electric power K640a can be used to perform an effect that simply changes the appearance of the small design K221b (it is difficult to generate a prize ball when entering the second prize opening K640).

[0279] FIG. 23 is a rear perspective view of the game board K13, and FIG. 24 is an exploded rear perspective view of the game board K13. As illustrated in FIG. 23, the base plate K60 has an opening K60w that is formed inside the opening in such a way that the center frame K86 can be fitted inside. Furthermore, the base plate K60 has sufficient thickness in the range of the game area in which the outer edge is separated by the inner rail K61 and the outer rail K62 (see FIG. 12) from the strength side, and includes formation recesses K60a to K60d that are recessed from the back side to reduce the thickness of the game area.

[0280] The opening K60w is formed so that it has the same shape even if the positions of the base plate K60 differ in thickness (front and backward) for the purpose of supporting the center frame K86 over the front and back width. This allows the center frame K86 to be stably supported.

[0281] The first forming recess K60a on the upper left side is disposed behind the resin shielding member K74 disposed on the upper left side of the outer rail K62 (see FIG. 12), and the first forming recess K60a is blindfolded by the shielding member K74.

[0282] The second forming recess K60b on the upper right side is disposed behind the outer edge member K73 (see FIG. 12) and the outer edge member K73, and the second forming recess K60b is blindfolded by the outer edge member K73.

[0283] The third formed recess K60c on the lower left side is located on the lower left side of the outer rail K62 (see FIG. 12) and is located behind the resin shielding member K75 on which the first pattern display devices H37A and H37B are built into the house, and the third formed recess K60c is blinded by the shielding member K75.

[0284] As shown in FIG. 24, the game board K13 is a long, left and right gutter front member K91 that is fastened to the back side of the lower side of the base plate K60, a rear member K92 for a gutter that is fastened to the back side of the front member K91 and constitutes a gutter that flows down in collaboration with the front member K91, and is an electric board K93 where the LEDs are fastened to the back side of the rear member K92 for a gutter and that emit light to the front side are arranged, and the electric board K93 that is fastened to the back side of the rear member K92 for a gutter and that emits light to the front side, and the electric board K93 that is fastened to the back side of the rear member K92 for a gutter and that is disposed with LEDs that emit light to the front side, and The protective member K94 is provided for clamping the electric board K93 to prevent removal of the decorative board K93, and is fastened to the rear gutter member K92 for clamping it, auxiliary member K95 that forms the gutter for flowing down the ball in conjunction with the preventative member K94, and a closure member K96 that has the function of blocking unnecessary openings that occur due to manufacturing conditions and functions as a support portion for bundled electrical wiring with a cable tie.

[0285] Light from the electric board K93 is irradiated towards the general prize opening K63 located on the lower left side of the game area. That is, by lighting the LEDs arranged on the electric board K93, the general prize opening K63 can be made to be brightly visible, and the player's attention to the general prize opening K63 can be changed by lighting or turning off the LEDs arranged on the electric board K93.

[0286] The fourth forming recess K60d on the lower right side is arranged below the lower edge of the outer rail K62, and at least a portion of the fourth forming recess K60d is blindfolded by the lower end of the outer rail K73.

[0287] The left side of the front gutter member K91 and the rear gutter member K92 are arranged behind the fourth formed recess K60d, and the ball can be flowed down through the region behind the fourth formed recess K60d.

[0288] FIG. 25 is an exploded front perspective view of the operating unit K300. In the description of FIG. 25, FIG. 13 will be referred to as appropriate. The operating unit K300 includes an upper decorative member K330 formed on the left and right long and disposed above the display area of ​​the third pattern display device K81 when viewed from the front, a left decorative member K350 formed on the vertical long and disposed on the left side of the display area of ​​the third pattern display device K81 when viewed from the front, a front layer side movable device K400 where the upper decorative member K330 and the left decorative member K350 are fastened to the front side, a rear layer side movable device K800 disposed on the rear side of the front layer side movable device K400, and a rear layer side casing K310 to which the front layer side movable device K400 and the rear layer side movable device K800 are housed and fastened to and fixed.

[0289] The rear case K310 is formed in a box-shaped state where the front side is opened from the bottom wall portion K311 and the outer wall portion K312 that is raised from the outer edge of the bottom wall portion K311. The rear case K310 is formed in the center of the bottom wall portion K311, and is formed into a rectangular frame shape when viewed from the front. The opening K311a is formed to have a size corresponding to the outer shape (outer edge) of the display area of ​​the third pattern display device K81 (that is, it is possible to separate the display area of ​​the third pattern display device K81 when viewed from the front).

[0290] The rear case K310 is provided at the front end of the exterior wall portion K312 as a flat plate along the back of the game board K13 (for example, arranged parallel to each other), and is supported by the game board K13 in an assembled state (see FIG. 12).

[0291] By screwing the fastening screw into the base plate K60 of the game board K13 while the support plate K313 is supported on the game board K13 on the surface, the game board K13 and the motion unit K300 can be fixed integrally, and thus the overall rigidity of the game board K13 and the motion unit K300 can be improved.

[0292] The front layer side movable device K400 includes a first movable device K401 that is long left and right and can move up and down from the upper end position as the initial position, and a second movable device K701 that is configured to be raised and down at the center position on the left and right side of the first movable device K401.

[0293] The upper decorative member K330 is formed to have a light emitting substrate disposed inside, and the light emitted from the light emitting substrate to the front side is irradiated onto the transparent decorative portion, while being formed to produce a light-emitting effect while being able to hide the first movable device K401 at the initial position.

[0294] The left decorative member K350 is formed to have a light emitting substrate disposed inside, and while the light emitted from the light emitting substrate is irradiated to the front side of the light emitting substrate to emit light-transmitting decorative portions, it is also formed to have a size that allows the driving force transmission mechanism on the left side of the first movable device K401 to be blindfolded.

[0295] Because the front layer side movable device K800 is disposed on the front side, the rear layer side movable device K400 is disposed on the front side, and is disposed on the back side (rear side) of the rear case K310 than the front layer side movable device K400, and is therefore disposed at a position closer to the variable display unit K80 than the front layer side movable device K400.

[0296] The rear layer side movable device K800 includes a third movable device K801 that operates to expose or hide the display area of ​​the third pattern display device K81 by sliding the plate-like members arranged in layers forward and backward and backward.

[0297] The rear layer side movable device K800 is fastened and fixed to the bottom wall portion K311 of the rear layer side movable device K310, and the front layer side movable device K400 is fastened and fixed to the bottom wall portion K311 of the rear layer side movable device K800 via a fastening portion passing outside the rear layer side movable device K800, and is fastened and fixed to the non-movable portion of the rear layer side movable device K800. First, an outline of operation control of the operation unit K300 will be explained with reference to an example.

[0298] 26 to 32 are front views of the operation unit K300 showing an example of operation control of the operation unit K300. FIG. 26 illustrates a case in which the first movable device K401, the second movable device K701, and the third movable device K801 are respectively in the performance standby state. That is, in FIG. 26, the first movable device K401 is hidden by the upper decorative member K330, and the third movable device K801 is hidden by the front layer side movable device K400, so the first movable device K401 and the third movable device K801 cannot be viewed in front view.

[0299] 27, the diagram shows a case in which the second movable device K701 is in a lowered position lower than the performance standby state, and the first movable device K401 falls into the empty space so that the first movable device K401 enters the drop position, and the third movable device K801 is in a performance standby state.

[0300] The position of the first movable device K401 and the position of the second movable device K701 are not shifted back and forth (they overlap when viewed from above), and if the second movable device K701 remains in the standby state of the performance, it will collide with the first movable device K401 after it has fallen, so the drive is controlled so that the first movable device K401 falls after the second movable device K701 is placed in a downward position in advance.

[0301] Since the first movable device K401 is configured such that at least the member on the most rear surface (main body K541 of the long device K540) is non-transparent, the display by the third pattern display device K81 is hidden in the portion overlapping with the first movable device K401. Therefore, in the state shown in FIG. 27, the player cannot fully see the display in the display area of ​​the third pattern display device K81 in front view.

[0302] 28 shows a case in which the first movable device K401 and the second movable device K701 are respectively in the standby state, and the third movable device K801 is in the closed state that blocks the front side of the third pattern display device K81.

[0303] The third movable device K801 has a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and the plate-like portions K811, K821, K831 are formed to be light-transmitting, and the degree of transmission is partially different. As a result, when the entire display area of ​​the third pattern display device K81 is blocked by the plate-like portions K811, K821, and K831, as shown in FIG. 28, the display of the third pattern display device K81 is easily visible, and the display of the third pattern display device K81 is hidden by the plate-like portions K811, K821, and K831, making it possible to form a portion in which the decoration of the surfaces of the plate-like portions K811, K821, and K831 can be easily visible.

[0304] 29, the second movable device K701, which was in the lowered position, is changed to the performance standby state, after the first movable device K401 is slid to the left while maintaining its up and down position in the falling position, and the third movable device K801 is in the closed state.

[0305] By sliding the mobile device K560 left and right to move it to a position that does not interfere with the second movable device K701 (see FIG. 29), and then moving the second movable device K701, the distance between the mobile device K560 and the second movable device K701 is narrowed, and the second movable device K701 is brought into the center of the front view of the movement unit K300, making it easier for the player to see the first movable device K401 and the second movable device K701.

[0306] As shown in FIG. 29, the displacement trajectory of the first movable device K401 and the displacement trajectory of the third movable device K801 partially overlap when viewed from the front, but the displacement trajectory of the first movable device K401 and the displacement trajectory of the third movable device K801 are displaced back and forth (do not overlap when viewed from the top), so that the first movable device K401 and the third movable device K801 do not collide (do not interfere) with each other during operation. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 29, when the first movable device K401 is changed from the performance standby state to the drop position state, the third movable device K801 can be changed from the performance standby state to the blocked state.

[0307] In this way, control is made to drive the first movable device K401, second movable device K701, and third movable device K801 from the standby state, allowing the movement with a sense of unity, while avoiding collision between the movable devices K401, K701, and K801.

[0308] In the state shown in FIG. 29, it is possible to visualize the decorations depicted on the left side of the third movable device K801, the decorations depicted on the mobile device K560 of the first movable device K401, the decorations depicted on the second movable device K701, and the decorations depicted on the cosmetic cover K220 of the winning unit K200, so that they can be made meaningful (the decorations depicted on the third movable device K801 are omitted in this figure. Details will be described later).

[0309] In FIG. 30, the first movable device K401 and the third movable device K801 are in the standby state of performance, and the second movable device K701 is in the upward positioned state. In the second movable device K701, most of the portions of the lower portion of the center frame K86 overlap with each other in the performance standby state, making it difficult to see (see FIG. 12), but in the upwardly positioned state, more than half of the portions are arranged above the lower portion of the center frame K86, thereby improving the visibility of the second movable device K701.

[0310] 31 shows a case in which the second movable device K701 and the third movable device K801 are in the standby state of the performance, and only the right side of the first movable device K401 falls to the intermediate position, and in FIG. 32 shows a case in which the moving device K560 of the first movable device K401 is displaced from the state in FIG. 31 to the right end of the range of motion.

[0311] When the first movable device K401 changes between the performance standby state and the one-sided fall state, the position of the mobile device K560 is maintained in the center side in the left and right direction. This prevents the left and right balance of the first movable device K401 from being displaced during the lifting and lowering.

[0312] In one side falling state shown in FIG. 32, the posture of the mobile device K560 is tilted in such a way that it falls diagonally downward to the right, resulting in a tilted design on the front side of the mobile device K560, causing a poor appearance. In contrast, in this embodiment, the design on the front side of the mobile device K560 is controlled to continue rotating until the state changes from the performance standby state to the one-sided fall state and then changes to the performance standby state. This prevents the design on the front side of the mobile device K560 from tilting and causing a poor appearance.

[0313] In this embodiment, the rotation of the design on the front side of the moving device K560 is clockwise as viewed in front (a direction facing the right) when the moving device K560 moves to the right as viewed in front, and counterclockwise as viewed in front (a direction facing the left) when the moving device K560 moves to the left as viewed in front (a direction facing the left). This allows the player to grasp the movement of the moving device K560 in the left and right directions and the rotational movement, resulting in a unified movement performance.

[0314] As shown in Figures 26 to 32, the range in which the display of the third pattern display device K81 located behind changes depending on the state of the respective movable devices K401, K701, and K801 is visible. That is, when all of the movable devices K401, K701, and K801 are in the performance standby state, the maximum range (area and position) for which the display of the third pattern display device K81 is easily visible (see FIG. 26), and the hidden range (area and position) of the display area of ​​the third pattern display device K81 is different in correspondence with the movable devices K401, K701, and K801 whose state changes from the performance standby state.

[0315] The hidden range (area and position) of the display area of ​​the third pattern display device K81 differs depending on the degree of change in the state of the respective movable devices K401, K701, and K801 from the standby state. Furthermore, even when, for example, the same movable device (for example, the first movable device K401) is operating, the hidden range (area and position) of the display area of ​​the third movable device K81 differ from the state shown in FIG. 27 and the state shown in FIG. 32, since the amount of operation and the area and position of the first movable device K401 overlapping with the display area of ​​the third movable device K81 are different.

[0316] That is, in the third pattern display device K81, the control is designed to make display performance visible in a range not hidden by the respective movable devices K401, K701, K801 (including a range where the display can be viewed by observing the movable devices K401, K701, K801), and so on, so that the display performance can be viewed by observing the movable devices K401, K701, and K801) change in multiple types, so that the display performance can be viewed in a range where the display is not hidden by the respective movable devices K401, K701, and K801, and so on, and the display performance effect can be improved.

[0317] Next, the first movable device K401 will be described with reference to FIG. 33 to FIG. FIG. 33 is a front exploded perspective view of the front layer side mover K400, and FIG. 34 is a rear exploded perspective view of the front layer side mover K400.

[0318] The first movable device K401, which constitutes the portion except the second movable device K701 of the front layer side movable device K400, includes a pair of supporting members K410, which are made up of members having a generally left and right symmetrical shape and are fastened and fixed to the rear case K310, a pair of rotary members K430 that are rotatably supported on the lower side of the support member K410, a pair of driving motors KMT41a and KMT41b that generate a driving force for rotating the rotary member K430, and a lifting device K500 that is configured to be raised and lowered in accordance with the state of rotation of the rotary member K430.

[0319] Furthermore, the first movable device K401 includes a pair of left and right front cover members K440 that are fastened and fixed to the support member K410 so as to cover the opening portion in front of the support member K410, a switching device K460 that is fastened and fixed from the front side to the right front cover member K440 from the front side and switched operational modes of the lifting device K500, and a pair of left and right state changing devices K470 that are changed between a permissible state that allows the lifting device K500 to fall and a prevention state that prevents the lifting device K500 from falling in response to the rotational state of the rotary member K430.

[0320] Furthermore, the first movable device K401 includes a decorative member K402 fastened from the front side to the lower side of the left front cover member K440 from the front side and formed from a light-transmitting resin, an electric decorative board K403 on which light-emitting means such as an LED that irradiates light on the decorative member K402, a decorative member K404 fastened from the front side to the lower side of the right front cover member K440 from the front side and formed from a light-transmitting resin, an electric decorative board K405 on which light-emitting means such as an LED that irradiates light on the decorative member K404, and an upper cover member K406 that blocks the gap between the support member K410 and the front cover member K440 and the second movable device K701 from the upper side in the assembly state (see FIG. 25).

[0321] The front cover member K440 will be described in detail. The front cover member K440 includes a plate-shaped main body K441 formed in a substantially L-shaped shape, a guide hole K442 that is perforated as a long hole extending up and downward in the plate-shaped main body K441 and guides the lifting and lowering of the lifting device K500, an absorbing member K443, a resin member disposed near the lower end of the guide hole K442, which can absorb the impact upon descending of the lifting device K500, a protruding portion K444 that is protruding from the back surface of the plate-shaped main body K441 towards the rotating member K430, and a connection member K445 that is located in front of the guide hole K442 and connected to the fastening portion K533 of the lifting device K500 that passes through the guide hole K444.

[0322] FIG. 35 is an exploded front perspective view of the first movable device K401, and FIG. 36 is an exploded rear perspective view of the first movable device K401. 35 and 36, the support member K410, the rotary member K430 and the state change device K470 are illustrated in the first movable device K401, and the front cover member K440 and the switching device K460 are omitted.

[0323] As shown in Figures 35 and 36, the support member K410 is formed in a substantially L-shape when viewed from the front, a support portion K412 that projects in a cylindrical shape on the front side of the lower portion of the main body K411 and supports the rotating member K430 in a cylindrical shape, and a detection sensor K413 that is disposed to detect the posture of the rotating member K430 on the left and right side of the support portion K412, a support portion K414 that projects in a cylindrical shape on the front side of the lower end of the main body K411 and supports the lower rotating member K471 of the state change device K470 in a cylindrical shape on the front side of the lower end of the main body K411 and supports the lower rotating member K471 of the state change device K470 in a rotary manner, and is a long hole that extends up and downwardly so as to guide the lifting device K500 in a guiding manner. The guide hole K415 is formed, a rack K416 in which gear teeth are formed along the guide hole K415, a guide protruding portion K417 formed in a vertical direction along the back side of the main body K411 and guides the lifting and lowering movement of the interlocking member K473 of the state change device K470, a detection sensor K418 located on the front side of the upper end of the main body K411 and capable of detecting whether the lifting device K500 is located in a position in a standby state, and a coil spring K419 in which the upper end is suspended from the main body K411 and the lower end is hooked to the hook-like portion K515 of the lifting device K500.

[0324] Furthermore, the support member K410 includes a metal rod K421 extending up and downwardly to guide the lifting and lowering operation of the lifting device K500, a support receiving portion K422 into which the lower end of the metal rod K421 is inserted, a fixed member K423 that is fastened and fixed to the lifting device K500 between the lifting device K500 and the lifting device K421 is sandwiched between the lifting device K500 to align the lifting device K421 with the lifting device K500, and an auxiliary member K424 that prevents the upper end of the metal rod K421 from coming out upward and forwardly from the main body K411 of the support member K410.

[0325] In this embodiment, the plate-shaped main body K441 of the front cover member K440 is configured to perform the same function as the auxiliary member K424 with respect to the metal rod K421 on the left side, and the auxiliary member K424 is disposed only on the right side.

[0326] The rotary member K430 is a disk-shaped main body K431 in which gear teeth K432 are formed over the entire circumference of the rear side in order to transmit the rotation of the drive gear KG42 fixed to the drive shafts of the drive motors KMT41a and KMT41b via the intermediate gear KG43 supported by the main body K411 of the support member K410, and a rotation center hole K433 in which the support portion K412 of the support member K410 is inserted, and a main body The unit includes a transmission cylindrical portion K434 rotatably connected at the outer circumferential edge of the K431 by a rotational axis parallel to the rotational axis of the rotary member K430 and supporting the lifting device K500, a cutout portion K435 formed in a width that allows detection sensor K413 of the support member K410 to be detectable in the concentric circular projection of the center of rotation hole K433, and a guide groove K436 formed by a set of protruding protruding from the rear side near the outer circumferential side of the main body K431.

[0327] The state change device K470 is a lower rotary member K471 that is rotatably supported by the support portion K414 of the support member K410, a switching protrusion K472 that projects from the left and right inner ends of the lower rotary member K471 towards the side of the rotary member K430 and is received by the guide groove K436, and is operatively connected to each other via shafts disposed at the left and right outer ends of the lower rotary member K471, and a plate-shaped component constituting the upper and lower ends of the interlocking member K473. The guide projection K417 of the support member K410 is inserted through the portion, and is provided to make the operating direction of the interlocking member K473 vertically in the direction of the operation of the interlocking member K473 up and down, a switching protrusion K475 protruding from the front near the upper end of the linking member K473, and an upper rotating member K476 that is rotatably supported by the main body K411 of the support member K410 and whose orientation in the direction of rotation changes in correspondence with the arrangement of the switching protrusion K475.

[0328] The lifting device K500 is configured to be lifted when the vertical position of the transmission cylindrical portion K434 of the rotating member K430 changes in the upward direction when the vertical position of the transmission cylindrical portion K434 of the rotating member K430 changes in the upward direction, making it possible to move upward.

[0329] FIG. 37 is an exploded front perspective view of the lifting device K500, and FIG. 38 is an exploded rear perspective view of the lifting device K500. The lifting device K500 includes a pair of left and right upper members K510 that can be pushed directly upwards onto the transmission cylindrical portion K434 of the rotating member K430, a pair of left and right gears K520 that are rotatably supported on the rear side of the upper end of the lower member K510, a rack K532 that is mated to the gear shift gear K520 so that the amount of lifting and lowering of the lower member K510 is increased or decreased by the gear shift gear K520, and is moved in conjunction with the lower member K510, a long device K540 whose left and right ends are supported by the upper member K530, and a moving device K560 that is configured to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal device K540.

[0330] The lower member K510 includes a main body portion K511 that is formed in a substantially L-shaped shape when viewed from the front, a flat portion K512 that is formed at the lower end of the main body portion K511 in a planar shape perpendicular to the direction of movement (up and downward direction) of the lower member K510, a support fastening portion K513 that is formed with female screws formed inside that protrudes cylindrically from the back side of the main body portion K511 and can support the speed change gear K520, a guided portion K514 that is guided by a metal rod K421 (see FIG. 35), and a hook-shaped portion K515 that is formed in a hook-shaped shape on the front side of the upper end of the main body portion K511 and that the lower end of the coil spring K419 (see FIG. 35) is hooked.

[0331] The screws fastened to the support fastening portion K513 function as a stopper for the speed gear K520, and their heads are located inside the guide hole K415 of the support member K410. This allows the protruding portion of the head of the screw that is fastened to the support fastening portion K513 to be absorbed, and the rear side surface of the gear shifting gear K520 can be supported by the front side surface of the main body K411 of the support member K410. Furthermore, the direction of movement of the screw fastened to the support fastening portion K513 is limited to the guide hole K415, allowing the lower member K510 to be stably moved up and downward.

[0332] Through the hook-like portion K515, the lower member K510 is biased upward by a coil spring K419 (see FIG. 35). This allows the urging force of the coil spring K419 to assist in the lifting and movement of the lifting device K500.

[0333] The gear shift gear K520 has a first gear K522 formed on the rear side of the intermediate disc K521, and a second gear K523 formed on the front side of the intermediate disc K521 coaxially with the first gear K522. The intermediate disc K521 is formed as a circular plate portion with a diameter larger than the diameter of the first gear K522 and a diameter larger than the diameter of the second gear K523, thereby preventing the counterpart member that is in contact with the first gear K522 or the second gear K523 from being positioned in the front and rear direction, causing the other gear to come into contact with the opposite second gear K523 or the first gear K522.

[0334] The first gear K522 is mated with the rack K416 of the support member K410 (see FIG. 35), and the second gear K523 is mated with the rack K532 of the upper member K530. The first gear K522 has eight teeth, and the second gear K523 has 12 teeth.

[0335] Therefore, when the lower member K510 moves up and down, the upper member K530 moves relative to the lower member K510 with a movement amount of 1.5 times the amount of lift and down movement of the lower member K510, but details of the lift and down movement will be described later.

[0336] The upper member K530 includes a main body portion K531 that is long in the vertical direction, a rack K532 that extends vertically and extends vertically towards the rear side of the main body portion K531 in a vertical direction, a fastening portion K533 that is a cylindrical portion that is protruding in a front side of the main body portion K531 and has female screws formed therein, a rotary shaft portion K534 that is cylindrical to the rear side of the main body portion K531 and supports the long device K540 in a rotary motion, a auxiliary projection portion K535 that is cylindrical to the direction parallel to the rotary shaft portion K534, a guided portion K536 that is guided by the metal rod K421 (see FIG. 35), and a curved receiver portion K537 that is formed as a curved surface supported by the upper rotating member K476 (see FIG. 35).

[0337] The connecting member K445 (see FIG. 33) is fastened to and fixed to the fastening portion K533. That is, the connecting member K445 is fastened and fixed to the tip of the fastening portion K533 that penetrates the guide hole K442 (see FIG. 33) of the front cover member K440. This limits the movement of the fastening portion K533 to the guide hole K442, and therefore, the movement of the upper member K530 can be stabilized.

[0338] The upper member K530 is guided to the guided portion K536 and the lower member K510 is guided to the metal rod K421 (see FIG. 35) by the guided portion K514, so that the lower member K510 and the upper member K530 can be prevented from falling in the front and backward and leftward directions.

[0339] FIG. 39 is an exploded front perspective view of the long device K540, and FIG. 40 is an exploded rear perspective view of the long device K540. 39 and 40 illustrate the upper member K530 and the mobile device K560 to facilitate understanding of the positional relationship.

[0340] The long device K540 includes a main body portion K541 formed in a long, left and right plate shape, a support shaft portion K542 projecting in a cylindrical shape on the rear side at the left and right center portions of the main body portion K541, a central gear K543 that is rotatably supported by the support shaft portion K542, a plurality of guide projection portions K544 that are cylindrically projecting in a direction parallel to the support shaft portion K542, and a pair of slide racks K545 that are guided by the guide projection portion K544 and configured to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the main body K541.

[0341] The front side of the main body portion K541 has long, left and right recessed portions K541a, which have terminal positions formed inside the left and right outer ends. The recess K541a functions as a portion in which the rear lower end of the mobile device K560 is received in the assembled state of the elongated device K540 (see FIG. 37).

[0342] The slide rack K545 is a set of plate-shaped members, both left and right, whose vertical widths are shorter than the vertical widths on the left and right sides in the state shown in FIG. 40, and includes a receiving portion K546 in which the rotary shaft portion K534 of the upper and lower sides of the left and right sides are mounted in the front and back direction at the lower ends of the left and right sides, and which accepts the rotary shaft portion K534 of the upper member K530, an arc-shaped portion K547 in which the auxiliary projection portion K535 is received, a plurality of guide long holes K548 in which the horizontal and vertical sides are mounted in the state shown in FIG. 40, and a rack K549 in which the tooth is joined to the central gear K543.

[0343] The sliding direction of the slide rack K545 is set in the direction in which the guide hole K548 is extended (the left and right direction in the state occupying in FIG. 40, and the longitudinal direction of the main body K541). Therefore, as the vertical positions of the upper and lower parts K530 are matched (nearest position), as the vertical positions of the upper members K530 increase in the vertical direction, the body K541 moves relative to the longitudinal direction toward the outward direction, but details will be described later.

[0344] Furthermore, the long device K540 is rotated through a group of transmission gears KG52 that can transmit the driving force of the drive motor KMT51 supported by the motor support gears K553 that can transmit the driving force of the driving motor KMT51 supported by the motor support member K553 that can transmit the driving force of the driving motor KMT51 supported by the motor support member K553. The device includes a screw shaft K554 configured to change the axial position of the moving device K560, a support receiving portion K555 on the back side of the decorative member K551, where both ends of the screw shaft K554 are rotatably received, and photocoupler-type detection sensors K556a to K556c provided on the rear side of the electric board K552 at a position where the detection groove is facing towards the rear side of the decorative member K551 is passed through the rear side of the decorative member K551.

[0345] The axial direction of the screw shaft K554 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the main body K541, and the axial movement of the screw shaft K554 of the moving device K560 is limited to the range in which the recessed portion K541a is formed.

[0346] The detection sensors K556a to K556c are configured to detect the arrangement of the mobile device K560. That is, when the mobile device K560 is located at the left and right center position in the first movable device K401's performance standby state, it is detected by the center detection sensor K556b, and when the mobile device K560 moves left and right along the axial direction of the screw shaft 554, when it is located at the right end position of the moving range, it is detected by the right detection sensor K556a, and when it is located at the left end position of the moving range, it is detected by the left detection sensor K556c.

[0347] FIG. 41 is an exploded front perspective view of the mobile device K560, and FIG. 42 is an exploded rear perspective view of the mobile device K560. The moving device K560 includes a main body portion K561, a front receiving portion K571 that is fastened and fixed to the upper end of the main body portion K561, a rear receiving portion K572 that is fastened and fixed to the front receiving portion K571 from the rear surface side, and a nut KNT61 that is held between the front receiving portion K571 and the rear receiving portion K572 and is configured to prevent rotation with the rotation axis of its own opening direction (the direction of the arrow L-R in FIG. 41).

[0348] The nut KNT61 has a protrusion formed in a helical shape on the inner periphery of the long opening KNT61a so as to correspond to a groove portion that is spiral cut on the outer periphery of the screw shaft K554 (see FIG. 39).

[0349] As a result, when the screw shaft K554 is rotated while the screw shaft K554 is inserted through the long opening KNT61a, the nut KNT61 is moved in the axial direction of the screw shaft K554 in correspondence with the rotational driving amount. That is, in response to the driving of the drive motor KMT51 (see FIG. 39), the axial arrangement of the screw shaft K554 of the mobile device K560 is changed (the structure of the ball screw is used).

[0350] The front side receiver K571 includes a plate portion K571a to be detected, which protrudes in a plate shape from below the position where the nut KNT61 is disposed, from the front side. The outputs from the detection sensors K556a to K556c can be different between when the detection plate portion K571a is located in the detection grooves of the detection sensors K556a to K556c (see FIG. 40) of the long device K540 and when they are not located. Due to the difference in the outputs of the detection sensors K556a to K556c, it is possible for the audio lamp control device H113 (see FIG. 10) to determine whether the mobile device K560 is located at the left and right center position in the performance standby state of the first movable device K401, or at the left and right end position of the moving range.

[0351] Furthermore, the moving device K560 includes a motor receiver K575 that is fastened to the lower end of the main body part K561, a drive motor KMT61 that is held by the motor receiver K575, a drive gear KMG62 that is fixed to the drive shaft of the drive motor KMT61 and disposed between the main body part K561 and the motor receiver K575, a transmission gear KMG63 that is rotatably supported by the support shaft part K562 of the main body part K561 at a position where it is mated to the drive gear KMG62, a terminal gear KMG64 that is mated to the transmission gear KMG63, and a rotary decorative member K578 that is fastened to the terminal gear KMG64 that is fixed to the terminal gear K579 that is inserted into the circular opening part K563 of the main body part K561.

[0352] Furthermore, the moving device K560 includes an electric board K564 in which a circular opening K564a is formed at a position corresponding to the circular opening K563 of the main body K561, and a light receiving member K567 is formed at a position corresponding to the circular opening K564a of the electric board K564, and is formed from a light-transmitting resin material, which is capable of refractive (diffusely reflecting) the light emitted from the electric board K564.

[0353] The electric board K564 and the light receiving member K567 are stacked on the main body portion K561 in the order of the electric board K564 and the light receiving member K567, and are arranged so that the central axes of the circular opening K564a and the circular opening K567a are aligned with the central axes of the circular opening K563, and are fastened and fixed to the main body portion K561.

[0354] The electric board K564 has a photocoupler-type detection sensor K565 disposed on the rear side. The detection groove of the detection sensor K565 is located on the rear side of the opening K561a drilled in the main body K561, and is capable of receiving the annular ribs of the transmission gear KMG63.

[0355] The annular rib of the transmission gear KMG63 has notches formed with notches KMG63a at equal intervals (180 degrees apart), and the output from the detection sensor K565 can be different depending on whether the notches KMG63a is located in the detection groove of the detection sensor K565 or not. Based on the difference in the output of the detection sensor K565, the audio lamp controller H113 (see FIG. 10) can determine the phase of the transmission gear KMG63, and the phase of the rotating decorative member K578.

[0356] In this embodiment, the number of teeth of the terminal gear KMG64 relative to the number of teeth of the transmission gear MG63 is 1 / 2, so that when the transmission gear MG63 is rotated halfway, the terminal gear KMG64 rotates one rotation. When the transmission gear MG63 rotates half a rotation from the phase in which the notch portion KMG63a is located in the detection groove of the detection sensor K565, the notch portion KMG63a is located in the detection groove of the detection sensor K565 again.

[0357] That is, when the notch portion KMG63a is located in the detection groove of the detection sensor K565, regardless of which notch portion KMG63a is the cutout KMG63a, the phases of the termination gear KMG64 and the rotary decorative member K578 are the same.

[0358] 43(a) and 43(b) are partially enlarged front views of the front layer side movable device K400. 43(a) and 43(b) illustrate the switching device K460 mainly, and for convenience, the decorative part on the foreground side is partially tearable and illustrated, making it possible to visually recognize the internal structure. FIG. 43(a) shows a state in which the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is de-energized, and FIG. 43(b) shows a state in which the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is excited.

[0359] As shown in Figures 43(a) and 43(b), the switching device K460 includes a substrate member K461 that is fastened and fixed to the plate-shaped main body K441 of the right front cover member K440, a stopper member K462 that is supported by the substrate member K461 so as to allow for a rotational operation centered on the support hole portion K462b, a drive solenoid KSOL 41 that is fastened and fixed to the substrate member K461, and a transmission member K463 that is supported by the substrate member K461 so as to allow for a rotational operation centered on the support hole portion K463b, and allows the driving force of the drive solenoid KSOL 41 to be transmitted to the stopper member K462.

[0360] The stopper member K462 includes an arm portion K462a in which the support hole portion K462b is formed at its end, a guide hole K462c that is formed in a longitudinal shape that extends in the longitudinal direction of the arm portion K462a, and a protruding receiver portion K462d that projects from the end opposite the end of the arm portion K462a to the rear side.

[0361] The transmission member K463 includes an arm portion K463a on which the support hole portion K463b is formed, an auxiliary arm portion K463c extending from the support hole portion K463b in a different direction from the arm portion K463a, a transmission proximal end projection K463d that projects rearward from the extended tip of the auxiliary arm portion K463c and is connected in a manner that causes the transmission member K463 to rotate by the straight-moving displacement of the straight-moving motion portion KSOL 41a of the driving solenoid KSOL 41, and a transmission tip projection K463e that projects rearward from the tip of the arm portion K463a and is received by the guide hole K462c of the stopper member K462.

[0362] The operation of the switching device K460 will be explained. While the substrate member K461 is disposed on the front side of the connecting member K445 so as not to enter the movement locus of the connecting member K445, the protruding receiver portion K462d of the stopper member K462 extends below the substrate member K461 to the rear side of the substrate member K461, and depending on the state, it enters the movement locus of the connecting member K445.

[0363] As shown in FIG. 43(a), when the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is de-energized, the protruding receiver K462d is disposed in front of the guide hole K442, and enters the movement locus of the connecting member K445.

[0364] That is, the lowering displacement of the connecting member K445 in the state shown in FIG. 43(a) is stopped at the middle by the protruding receiver K462d. In this case, the load of the lifting device K500 and the like is applied to the protruding receiver K462d via the connecting member K445, but since the protruding receiver K462d is arranged vertically below the starting point of the support hole K462b (direction of the load via the connecting member K445), it is easy to avoid the rotation of the stopper member K462 due to the load of the lifting device K500 and the like via the connecting member K445.

[0365] This allows the movement of the connecting member K445 to be stopped at the midway position of the length of the guide hole K442 when the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is de-energized. Furthermore, even when operational control is performed in which the connecting member K445 is frequently stopped, there is no need to energize the driving solenoid KSOL 41 due to the connecting member K445 being stopped at the same time, so the number of times the driving solenoid KSOL 41 can be suppressed, and the life of the driving solenoid KSOL 41 can be extended.

[0366] As shown in FIG. 43(b), when the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is excited from the state shown in FIG. 43(a), the transmission member K463 is rotated by the up and downward displacement of the straight-moving motion part KSOL 41a, and the stopper member K462 is rotated in conjunction with the rotational operation, so that the protruding receiver portion K462d of the stopper member K462 retreats from the moving locus of the connecting member K445.

[0367] As a result, when the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is excited, the connecting member K445 is not stopped at the projecting receiver portion K462d of the stopper member K462, and the connecting member K445 can be moved to the end of the guide hole K442.

[0368] This allows the amount of movement of the upper member K530 (see FIG. 37) having the fastening portion K533 to which the connecting member K445 is fastened and fixed can be switched between a state in which the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is de-energized (see FIG. 43(a)) and an exciting state in which the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is (see FIG. 43(b)).

[0369] 44 to 49 are partially enlarged front views of the first movable device K401. 44 to 49, chronologically illustrates how the right side of the lifting device K500 moves up and down based on the first operational mode in which the rotating member K430 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction as viewed in the front.

[0370] In addition, in Figures 44 to 49, in order to facilitate understanding of the movable portion, the lower right end and upper right corner of the main body portion K411 of the support member K410, the front side surface of the main body portion K511 of the lower member K510, the intermediate disc K521 and the second gear K523 of the speed change gear K520, and the front side surface of the main body portion K531 of the upper member K530 are shown in part torn.

[0371] In FIG. 44, the first movable device K401 is illustrated in the performance standby state. That is, the rotating member K430 has a notch portion K435 (see FIG. 36) disposed in the detection groove of the detection sensor K413, and the upper member K530 is prevented from moving up and down by the curved receiver portion K537 being supported by the upper rotating member K476 in the ingress state, and the up and down movement of the upper member K530 is prevented, and the rotation of the speed change gear K520 is prevented, and the up and down movement of the lower member K510, which is supported by the speed change gear K520, is also prevented.

[0372] That is, as shown in FIG. 44, even when the transmission tubular portion K434 of the rotary member K430 is retracted from below the lower member K510, the up and down movement of the upper member K530 is prevented by the upper rotary member K476, and thus the up and down movement of the lower member K510 is prevented.

[0373] 45, the drive gear KG42 is driven in a direction in which the rotary member K430 rotates counterclockwise in the front view from the state shown in FIG. 44. During rotation of the rotary member K430, the transmission tubular portion K434 is disposed facing the curved surface of the protruding portion K444. The protruding portion K444 is disposed on the center of rotation of the rotary member K430 than the transmission cylindrical portion K434, and the protruding tip (rear tip) of the protruding portion K444 is arranged facing the front side of the rotary member K430, thereby preventing posture shifts such that the transmission cylindrical portion K434 shifts in the radial direction of the rotary member K430 (position shifts in which the rotary member K430 is tilted relative to the rotation axis).

[0374] This allows the rotational resistance of the rotational member K430 to be suppressed even when the rotational member K430 is subjected to a load in a direction in which the main body K431 is tilted relative to the axis of rotation at an eccentric position, and therefore the rotational resistance of the rotational member K430 can be reduced.

[0375] In FIG. 45, the switching projection K472 of the lower rotating member K471 is still maintained in the large diameter groove K436a of the guide groove K436. While the switching protrusion K472 is maintained in the large diameter groove K436a, the state of the state change device K470 is maintained in the state shown in FIG. 44, and the up and down position of the lifting device K500 is also maintained.

[0376] Furthermore, in FIG. 44, the driving solenoid KSOL 41 (see FIG. 43(b)) is shown in a state where the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is de-energized (see FIG. 43(a)), and from FIG. 45 onwards, the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is shown in a state where the driving solenoid KSOL 41 is excited (see FIG. 43(b)) so that the protruding receiver K462d of the stopper member K462 retreates from the locus of moving the connecting member K445.

[0377] 46, from the state shown in FIG. 45, the drive gear KG42 is driven in a direction in which the rotary member K430 rotates counterclockwise as viewed in the front, and the portion where the switching projection K472 of the lower rotary member K471 is received is switched from the large-diameter groove K436a of the guide groove K436 to the small-diameter groove K436b, and the state just before the lifting device K500 starts to fall is shown.

[0378] When the switching protrusion K472 is received by the small diameter groove K436b, the lower rotating member K471 is rotated around the support portion K414 of the support member K410, and the interlocking member K473 and the switching protrusion K475 are moved up and down by the rotation of the lower rotating member K471, and the upper rotating member K476 is rotated from the ingress state to the retracted state around the support hole K476a.

[0379] The upper rotating member K476 has a rotating tip portion K476b arranged opposite to the curved receiving portion K537, formed as an arc-shaped surface centered around the center of rotation of the support hole K476a. Furthermore, the curved receiver K537 is formed from a curved surface shape that can be hit by the rotating tip K476b of the upper rotating member K476 in the ingress state (see FIG. 44).

[0380] This allows the resistance generated when the upper rotating member K476 is rotated to the retracted state from the state in which the curved receiver K537 is in contact with the rotating tip K476b of the upper rotating member K476 in the ingress state, and the resistance can be limited to frictional resistance, preventing excessive resistance.

[0381] Furthermore, the weight of the lifting device K500 provided to the upper rotating member K476 through the curved receiver K537 is applied to the upper rotating member K476 as a load in the opposite direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 46) in the direction in which the upper rotating member K476 moves to the retracted state.

[0382] Therefore, while reducing the operating resistance between the curved receiver K537 and the upper rotating member K476, it is possible to prevent the upper rotating member K476 from being changed to the retracted state due to the weight of the lifting device K500 applied to the upper rotating member K476 via the curved receiver K537.

[0383] Furthermore, due to the above-mentioned shape of the upper rotary member K476, when the left and right balance is disrupted, as in the state in which the first movable device K401 falls on one side, when a load having a left and right component is applied not only from the body weight but also from the curved receiver K537 to the upper rotary member K476, the load can be directed towards the center of rotation of the upper rotary member K476. This allows the upper rotating member K476 to stabilize the posture, and the support of the lifting device K500 can be stabilized.

[0384] 47, the state shown in FIG. 46 shows the falling position state (see FIG. 27) as the state after the lifting device K500 has fallen. Before reaching the falling position, the rotary member K430 is rotated not only on the right side of the lifting device K500 but also on the left side, and the upper rotary member K476 is rotated, but the rotation direction of the rotary member K430 in the first operational manner on the left side is in the opposite direction (clockwise direction as viewed in front) of the rotation direction (counterclockwise direction as viewed in front) of the first operational manner of the rotary member K430 in the right side.

[0385] The movement of the lifting device K500 when it is dropped is configured to occur until the upper member K530 is stopped at the absorbing member K443 (see FIG. 34) of the front cover member K440, and is not configured to occur until the lower member K510 collides with the transmission tubular portion K434 of the rotating member K430.

[0386] Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the impact load when the lifting device K500 is dropped is transmitted to the transmission cylindrical portion K434. That is, it is possible to easily avoid the occurrence of damage caused by the impact of falling of the lifting device K500 being transmitted to the transmission tubular portion K434 and the lower member K510.

[0387] The details of the lifting and lowering movement of the lower member K510, the speed change gear K520 and the upper member K530 will be described. First, the lower member K510 and the upper member K530 are guided by a common metal rod K421 so that they can be slidable in the vertical direction.

[0388] When the lower member K510 is lowered from the state shown in FIG. 46, the gear shift gear K520 is rotated by contacting the rack K416 of the support member K410, and as the rotation is performed, the rack K532 of the upper member K530 moves relative to the gear shift gear K520 in the vertical direction.

[0389] That is, when the lower member K510 moves up and down, the upper member K530 moves relative to the lower member K510 by the amount of movement in the vertical direction due to the movement of the lower member K510, in addition to the amount of movement of the speed change gear K520 in the vertical direction due to the movement of the lower member K510, the upper member K530 that mates when the speed change gear K520 is rotated.

[0390] In this embodiment, the number of teeth of the second gear K523 that is in contact with the rack K532 of the upper member K530 is designed to be 1.5 times the number of teeth of the first gear K522 that is in contact with the rack K416 of the support member K410 as the lower member K510 moves, so that the upper member K530 is moved by the amount of movement in which a length of 1.5 times the movement of the lower member K510 is added to the amount of movement of the lower member K510.

[0391] Therefore, the upper member K530 is moved up and down by a movement amount KVD2 that is 2.5 times the movement amount KVD1 of the lower member K510 (KVD1:KVD2=2:5). This prevents the vertical movement distance of the upper member K530 from being limited to the vertical movement distance of the transmission cylindrical portion K434 of the rotary member K430 rotated by the driving motors KMT41a and KMT41b (see FIG. 35).

[0392] That is, the diameter of the rotary member K430 can be kept small and the vertical movement distance of the upper member K530 can be long, allowing for a long design, which improves the freedom to design the arrangement of the upper member K530 and the rotary member K430.

[0393] A projecting portion K444 is disposed on the left side of the lower member K510, and the left end of the lower member K510 is guided up and downwardly by the right plane of the projecting portion K444. This prevents the lower member K510 from being positioned to the left by the protruding portion K444.

[0394] 48 shows a state in which, as the rotary member K430 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction from the state shown in FIG. 47, the lower member K510 is lifted up by the transmission tubular portion K434, and the switching projection K472 of the lower member K471 is still received by the small diameter groove K436b of the rotary member K430.

[0395] The rotation of the rotary member K430 causes the transmission tubular portion K434 to rotate and move while rubbing against the lower surface of the lower member K510, but since the lower surface of the lower member K510 is formed as a flat portion K512, the operating resistance generated between the transmission tubular portion K434 and the lower member K510 can be reduced.

[0396] Furthermore, the upward biasing force applied to the lower member K510 from the coil spring K419 reduces the load applied downwardly from the lower member K510 towards the transmission tubular portion K434, and the operating resistance generated between the transmission tubular portion K434 and the lower member K510 can be reduced.

[0397] 49, from the state shown in FIG. 48, the rotating member K430 is further rotated counterclockwise, and the switching projection K472 of the lower rotating member K471 is received by the large diameter groove K436a of the rotating member K430.

[0398] In FIG. 49, the upper rotating member K476 changes from the retracted state shown in FIG. 48 to the ingress state. At this time, the curved receiver portion K537 of the upper member K530 is disposed above the rotating tip K476b of the upper rotating member K476, and a gap is formed between the curved receiver portion K537 and the rotating tip K476b. This reduces the operating resistance of the upper rotating member K476.

[0399] Here, in order to change the upper rotary member K476 in the retracted state to the ingress state, it is necessary to resist its own weight and displace the interlocking member K473 upward, which requires a greater force than when changing the upper rotary member K476 in the ingress state to the retracted state.

[0400] In contrast, in this embodiment, when the upper rotating member K476 in the retracted state is changed to the ingress state, a gap is created between the curved receiver K537 and the rotating tip K476b, thereby reducing the operating resistance of the upper rotating member K476, and avoiding excessive force required to change the state.

[0401] When the rotary member K430 is rotated further counterclockwise from the state shown in FIG. 49, the state returned to the state shown in FIG. 44. In this way, when the rotating member K430 continues to rotate counterclockwise, the up and down movement of the lifting device K500 is made cyclic. That is, the first operational mode of the rotary member K430 is an operational mode that allows the up and down movement of the lifting device K500 to be circulated.

[0402] 50 and 51 are partially enlarged front views of the first movable device K401. 50 and 51 , part of the second operational mode in which the right side of the lifting device K500 is lowered based on the rotational member K430 clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 44 is illustrated in chronological order.

[0403] The second operational mode is the operational mode from the performance standby state (see FIG. 44) to the order of change in FIG. 50 and FIG. 51, and then the rotation member K430 is rotated counterclockwise to return to the performance standby state.

[0404] In addition, in Figures 50 and 51, in order to facilitate understanding of the movable portion, the lower right end and upper right corner of the main body portion K411 of the support member K410, the front side surface of the main body portion K511 of the lower side surface of the main body portion K511 of the lower side surface, the intermediate disc K521 and the second gear K523 of the speed change gear K520, and the front side surface of the main body portion K531 of the upper member K530 are shown partially torn.

[0405] Furthermore, in Figures 50 and 51, the driving solenoid KSOL 41 (see Figure 43(a)) is de-energized so that the protruding receiver portion K462d of the stopper member K462 enters the movement locus of the connecting member K445.

[0406] 50, the drive gear KG42 is driven in a direction in which the rotary member K430 rotates clockwise as seen in the front, from the state shown in FIG. 44. The upper rotary member K476 is changed to a retracted state based on the fact that the switching projection K472 of the lower rotary member K471 is received by the small diameter groove K436b of the rotary member K430, but the lower member K510 is supported by the transmission tubular portion K434 of the rotary member K430, and the lifting device K500 does not fall.

[0407] That is, the lower member K510 maintains a state where it is pressed against the transmission tubular portion K434 of the rotary member K430 by its own weight, and moves up and down so that the contact between the flat portion K512 and the transmission tubular portion K434 is maintained as the rotary member K430 rotates.

[0408] 51 shows a state in which the rotary member K430 is rotated clockwise as viewed in the front, and the connecting member K445 is received by the protruding receiver portion K462d of the stopper member K462, and the descending is stopped.

[0409] As a result, the lowering of the upper member K530 to which the connecting member K445 is fastened and fixed, and as a result, the lower member K510 is also stopped, so when the rotating member K430 is rotated further clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 51, the transmission cylindrical portion K434 of the rotating member K430 is separated from the flat portion K512 of the lower member K510.

[0410] When returning from the state shown in FIG. 51 to the performance standby state, the rotating member K430 is rotated in the opposite direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 51), and the lower member K510 is pushed up by the transmission cylindrical portion K434.

[0411] In this case, whether rotation of the rotating member K430 begins from the state shown in FIG. 51 or a state in which the rotating member K430 is rotated slightly clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 51, the load applied from the lifting device K500 to the transmission tubular portion K434 arises from the state shown in FIG. 51.

[0412] In the state shown in FIG. 51, the transmission cylindrical portion K434 is located directly to the right of the support portion K412 serving as the rotation axis of the rotary member K430, and the direction of movement of the transmission cylindrical portion K434 (the direction of the tangential line drawn by the movement locus of the transmission cylindrical portion K434) faces up and downward, so that upward load can be efficiently applied to the lower member K510. This allows the operation to quickly return from the state shown in FIG. 51 to the performance standby state.

[0413] Incidentally, when the rotating member K430 is rotated further clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 51, the transmission cylindrical portion K434 of the rotating member K430 contacts the upper surface of the lower member K510, and may transmit a load facing downwardly with respect to the lower member K510. That is, since a load in the direction in which the lower member K510 can be raised cannot be generated, the operation of the lifting device K500 does not circulate when controlled to continue rotating the rotating member K430 clockwise as seen in the front.

[0414] 52 and 53 are partially enlarged rear views of the first movable device K401. In FIG. 52, the first movable device K401 is illustrated in the performance standby state (see FIG. 26), and in FIG. 53, the first movable device K401 is illustrated in the one-sided fall state (see FIG. 31).

[0415] In the performance standby state of the first movable device K401 shown in FIG. 52, the upper members K530 on both sides of the left and right sides are supported by the upper rotating members K476 (see FIG. 45). On the other hand, in one side of the first movable device K401 shown in FIG. 53, the left upper member K530 is supported by the upper rotating member K476, while the right upper member K530 is tilted by the fastening and fixed connection member K445 is supported by the protruding receiver K462d of the stopper member K462 (see FIG. 51).

[0416] In the state shown in FIG. 53, the distance between the left and right rotating shafts K534 extends from the state shown in FIG. 52, and the slide rack K545 is displaced in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal device K540 by the extended dimension.

[0417] The pair of slide racks K545 are mated with a central gear K543 that is common to each other, and will displace in opposite directions along the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal device K540, so the amount of displacement along the longitudinal device K540 is common to each other.

[0418] In other words, the amount of movement KSDa of the slide rack K545 on the right side from the performance standby state is the same as the amount of movement KSDb of the slide rack K545 on the left side from the performance standby state (KSDa=KSDb).

[0419] This makes it possible to suppress the positional deviation of the central gear K543 in the left and right direction when the state is changed from the state shown in FIG. 52 to the state shown in FIG. 53, and thus, the positional deviation of the main body portion K541 supporting the central gear K543 can be suppressed in the left and right direction.

[0420] Here, when the first movable device K401 is changed from the standby state to the drop position state, it is preferred that the left and right rotating members K430 (see FIG. 36) be rotated in the first operational manner, and the left and right upper rotating members K476 (see FIG. 46) are simultaneously changed from the ingress state in the standby state to the retracted state, thereby causing the left and right upper members K530 (see FIG. 47) to fall simultaneously. Furthermore, during the lifting operation, the left and right rotating members K430 are rotated at the same rotation angle, allowing the lifting device K500 to be raised without any deviation in the left and right heights.

[0421] However, it is difficult to make the operating resistance of the left and right rotating members K430 (see FIG. 36) exactly the same, and when driven by the corresponding drive motors KMT41a and KMT41b (see FIG. 36), depending on the quality of the drive motors KMT41a and KMT41b, even when the same voltage is supplied, a slight deviation in rotational speed may occur. Therefore, when up and down the lifting device K500, there is a possibility that the height position on the left and right sides of the lifting device K500 may be shifted.

[0422] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the change in the vertical position of the transmission cylindrical portion K434 due to the rotation of the rotary member K430 is increased by 2.5 times when it is transmitted from the lower member K510 to the upper member K530 (see Figures 44 to 49). Therefore, even if the phase deviation of the rotary member K430 is small, the deviation appears as a deviation in the height position on the left and right sides of the long device K540 supported by the upper member K530 by 2.5 times.

[0423] Thus, in this embodiment, the height position of the lifting device K500 may be misaligned on the left and right sides. If the height position of the lifting device K500 is shifted on the left and right sides, the posture of the long device K540 will tilt around a straight line facing forward and backward direction while moving up and downward, making it easy to look unwell.

[0424] In contrast, in this embodiment, as mentioned above, since the movement amounts KSDa and KSDb of the left and right slide racks K545 are the same, even when the posture of the long device K540 is tilted, it is possible to suppress the positional deviation of the left and right center position of the long device K540 in the left and right directions.

[0425] This makes it possible to suppress the positional deviation of the moving device K560 arranged at the left and right center position of the long device K540 in the performance standby state in the left and right directions during the up and down movement of the lifting device K500.

[0426] The slide rack K545 has a common structure on the proximal end side of the rotating shaft portion K534, while the rack K549 that is mated with the central gear K543 is configured to be arranged so that it is different on the top and bottom.

[0427] In this embodiment, while the one-side falling state shown in FIG. 53 is frequently performed, it is extremely rare (not available) to be controlled so that the left side falls frequently.

[0428] Therefore, in this embodiment, the slide rack K545 is formed so that it is easy to optimize the teething state between the central gear K543 and the rack K549 when the one-side falls. That is, in one side of the fall, a rack K549 on the side covering the central gear K543 (the side where the rotating shaft portion K534 is on the upper side) is formed so as to be disposed above the central gear K543.

[0429] Furthermore, by placing the rotary shaft portion K534 at the lower end of the rack K549, the amount of projection of the rack K549, which is on the side that covers the central gear K543, is increased. This makes it possible to make it easier to optimize the fitting of the rack K549 with the central gear K543 by the weight of the rack K549 on the side that is covered with the central gear K543.

[0430] As shown in FIG. 53, the one-side fall state of the first movable device K401 is changed from the performance standby state by tilting the rotary shaft portion K534 of the left upper member K530 as the base end, and the drive motor KMT51 is disposed on the base end of the tilting operation.

[0431] That is, by setting the heavy driving motor KMT51 as the base end side, the center of gravity can be moved towards the base end side, and the weight of the tip (right side) of the tilting motion that moves up and down when the state changes from the performance standby state to one-side falling state can be reduced. This reduces the load (see FIG. 51) that is received by the projecting receiver portion K462d of the stopper member K462 from the connecting member K445 in a state where one side falls.

[0432] An example of driving control of the mobile device K560 will be described with reference to FIG. 54(a), 54(b), 54(c) and 54(d) are partial front views of the first movable device K401.

[0433] 54(a), 54(b), 54(c) and 54(d), movement of the mobile device K560 in a state in which the long device K540 is arranged in the upper and lower positions of the first movable device K401 (see FIG. 27), is shown in chronological order. As for the left and right positions of the mobile device K560, the arrangement shown in FIG. 54(a) is the same as the arrangement shown in FIG. 27, and the arrangement shown in FIG. 54(d) is the same as the arrangement shown in FIG. 29.

[0434] First, when the drive control shown in FIG. 54 is executed, the long device K540 of the first movable device K401 is moved downward (fall) from the upward position in the standby state (see FIG. 26) to the upward position in the falling position in the falling position (see FIG. 27). Even after reaching the fall position state from the start of this movement, the rotary decorative member K578 of the moving device K560 is continuously rotated in the clockwise direction as seen in the front due to the driving force when the drive motor KMT61 (see FIG. 41) is rotated in the forward direction (clockwise direction as seen in the front).

[0435] As illustrated in FIG. 54(a), during rotation where the moving device K560 is placed at the left and right central position KC41, the voice lamp controller H113 (see FIG. 10) detects the actual rotational speed KVR1 of the rotating decorative member K578 from the arrangement interval of the detection sensor K565 (see FIG. 42) of the notch portion KMG63a of the transmission gear KMG63 (see FIG. 41) into the detection groove.

[0436] If the rotational speed KVR1 is within a predefined design value, under control by the voice lamp controller H113 (see FIG. 10), the drive motor KMT51 (see FIG. 39) is rotated in the positive direction (direction in which the moving device K560 moves rightward, clockwise direction as seen by the arrow L) at a timing intermediate between the detection interval of the detection sensor K565 (see FIG. 54(b)), and the moving device K560 is moved at the speed KVS1.

[0437] After the start of driving the drive motor KMT51 from FIG. 54(b), it is determined that the notch KMG63a of the transmission gear KMG63 has been placed in the detection groove of the detection sensor K565 by the output from the detection sensor K565, the audio lamp controller H113 (see FIG. 10) is controlled to stop driving the drive motor KMT61 (see FIG. 41) and the drive motor KMT51 (see FIG. 39).

[0438] That is, the timing at which the posture of the rotary decorative member K578 stops at an appropriate posture (position in which the up, down, left and right directions are aligned) when the notch portion KMG63a is placed in the detection groove of the detection sensor K565 can be matched with the timing at which the movement device K560 is stopped in the left and right direction.

[0439] From the state that is located at the middle position KR42 on the right side shown in FIG. 54(c), the drive motor KMT61 (see FIG. 41) is rotated in the reverse direction, and the drive motor KMT51 (see FIG. 39) is rotated in the reverse direction, thereby moving the moving device K560 to the middle position KL43 on the left side shown in FIG. 54(d).

[0440] At this time, the rotational speed KVR2 of the drive motor KMT61 is set to be slower than the rotational speed KVR1, and the rotational speed of the drive motor KMT51 is set to be the same, so that the movement speed of the moving device K560 in the left and right direction is maintained at the speed KVS1.

[0441] 54(c) after the drive motor KMT61 (see FIG. 41) is rotated and driven, and based on the fact that the cutout portion KMG63a of the transmission gear KMG63 is first placed in the detection groove of the detection sensor K565, the voice lamp controller H113 (see FIG. 10) is controlled to stop the driving of the drive motor KMT61 (see FIG. 41) and the drive motor KMT51 (see FIG. 39).

[0442] Here, from FIG. 54(b) to FIG. 54(c), the rotary decorative member K578 is rotated half-rotated, and from FIG. 54(c) to FIG. 54(d), the rotary decorative member K578 is rotated once. Therefore, if the velocity relationship is the same, the right-side midpoint KR42 shown in FIG. 54(c) and the left-side midpoint KL43 shown in FIG. 54(d) are positioned symmetrically around the left-side midpoint KC41 as the boundary.

[0443] In contrast, in this embodiment, since the rotational speed KVR2 is set to be slower than the rotational speed KVR1 (KVR1>KVR2), the distance from the left and right center position KC41 to the left and right middle position KL43 is longer than the distance from the left and right center position KC41 to the right middle position KR42. In this way, the stop position of the mobile device K560 can be set asymmetrically.

[0444] In this embodiment, the state in which the moving device K560 is located at the left-side midway position KL43 corresponds to the arrangement in which the detected portion K571a begins to come outward of the detection groove of the central detection sensor K556b (the arrangement in which the output of the central detection sensor K556b is switched).

[0445] In this case, since the detected portion K571a (see FIG. 41) is symmetrically extending in the left and right direction from the left and right center of the moving device K560 in the left and right direction, whether or not the detected portion K571a comes out of the detection groove of the central detection sensor K556b (see FIG. 40) depends on the amount of movement of the moving device K560 from the left and right central position KC41, regardless of whether it is left or right.

[0446] That is, in the state shown in Figures 54(a), 54(b), and 54(c), the detected portion K571a (see FIG. 41) is still located in the detection groove of the central detection sensor K556b (see FIG. 40), and only in the state shown in Figure 54(d), the detected portion K571a goes outwards of the detection groove of the central detection sensor K556b (see FIG. 54(d) (the detected portion K571a is designed with a left and right length that meets this condition).

[0447] The state shown in FIG. 54(d) corresponds to the state shown in FIG. 29 as described above, so that the second movable device K701 (see FIG. 29) is driven based on the fact that the detected portion K571a is c...
