A glass unit 16 having two glass panes is provided. The front of the game board 13 is visible from the front side of the pachinko machine 10.

[0021] The front frame 14 has an upper tray 17 for storing balls that protrudes to the front side and has an open top, roughly box-like shape. The top tray 17 is formed with a hole, and prize balls and loan balls are discharged onto this top tray 17. The bottom of the top tray 17 is The balls dropped into the upper tray 17 are tilted downwards to the right as viewed from the outside (see Figure 1). The balls are guided to the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 4). The frame button 22 is provided with, for example, a third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 2 Changed the stage of the performance displayed in the "Super Reach" section and changed the performance content of the "Super Reach" section. It is operated by the player when, for example, playing a game.

[0022] The front frame 14 is provided with various light emitting means such as lamps around its periphery (for example, at the corners). These light emitting means emit light in response to changes in the game state, such as when a jackpot occurs or when a predetermined reach is reached. In response, the light emission mode is changed and controlled by lighting up or blinking, enhancing the presentation effect during play. The periphery of the window portion 14c is provided with an illumination portion 29-3 which incorporates a light emitting means such as an LED. In the pachinko machine 10, these illumination units 29 to 33 are used to It functions as a performance lamp for the jackpot and reach performance, and the built-in LED lights up when the jackpot is hit or when a reach performance is performed. The illumination units 29 to 33 light up or flash to indicate that a jackpot has been won, or In addition, when the front frame 14 is viewed from the front (see FIG. 1), it is notified that the player is in a reach state just before the big win. (See reference) The upper left corner has built-in LEDs and other light emitting devices to indicate when prize balls are being dispensed and when an error occurs. A visible indicator lamp 34 is provided.

[0023] In addition, on the lower side of the right-side illumination part 32, there is a A small window 35 is formed by attaching a transparent resin, and the adhesive space K1 (see FIG. 2) on the front of the game board 13 is The stamps and the like affixed to the pachinko machine (reference) are visible from the front of the pachinko machine 10. In the case of the machine 10, in order to create a more brilliant appearance, the area around the illumination parts 29 to 33 A plated member 36 made of chrome-plated ABS resin is attached to the area.

[0024] Below the window 14c, a ball dispensing operation unit 40 is arranged. A display unit 41, a ball lending button 42, and a return button 43 are provided. A card unit (ball lending unit) (not shown) is placed to the side of the ball lending unit. When the ball lending operation unit 40 is operated with the ball inserted, the ball is lent out in accordance with the operation. Specifically, the point display section 41 is an area where the remaining balance information of the card etc. is displayed, and The LED lights up and the remaining balance is displayed in numbers as remaining balance information. It is operated to obtain loan balls based on information recorded on a recording medium, etc. As long as there is a balance on the card, the loaned balls will be supplied to the upper tray 17. Return button 4 3 is operated when requesting the return of a card inserted in the card unit. Pachinko machines in which balls are directly dispensed from a ball dispenser or the like to the upper tray 17 without going through a hand unit, In a so-called cash machine, the ball dispensing operation unit 40 is not required. In this case, the installation of the ball dispensing operation unit 40 Decorative stickers or other items may be added to the card unit to make the parts configuration common. This will enable standardization between pachinko machines and cash machines.

[0025] The lower tray unit 15 located below the upper tray 17 has a left side portion where the upper tray 17 cannot store the remaining amount of food. The lower tray 50 for storing the balls that have not been removed is formed in a roughly box-like shape with an open top. To the right of the 0 is an operation hand operated by the player to hit the ball into the front of the game board 13. A container 51 is provided.

[0026] Inside the operating handle 51, there is a touch panel for allowing the ball launching unit 112a to be driven. A sensor 51a and a launch stop switch 51 that stops the launch of the ball while the sensor 51a is being pressed. b, and a variable resistor that detects the rotational operation amount (rotational position) of the operating handle 51 based on a change in electrical resistance. A resistor (not shown) and other components are built in. When the operating handle 51 is rotated clockwise by the player, When the touch sensor 51a is turned on, the resistance value of the variable resistor is changed according to the rotation. The resistance of the variable resistor changes depending on the amount of heat produced, and the ball is fired with a strength (firing intensity) that corresponds to the resistance value of the variable resistor. As a result, the ball is shot to the front of the game board 13 at a distance corresponding to the player's operation. In addition, when the operating handle 51 is not being operated by the player, the touch sensor The launch stop switch 51a and the launch stop switch 51b are turned off.

[0027] At the lower front portion of the lower tray 50, there is a lever for operating when discharging the balls stored in the lower tray 50 downward. The ball ejection lever 52 is always biased to the right. By sliding it leftward against the biasing force, the bottom surface of the lower tray 50 is The bottom opening is opened and the balls fall naturally through the opening. The operation of the bar 52 is usually performed by placing a box (a The above-mentioned box is placed on the right side of the lower tray 50. An operating handle 51 is disposed as shown in FIG. 1, and an ashtray (not shown) is attached to the left of the lower tray 50. are.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 13 is made up of a base plate 60 cut into a substantially square shape when viewed from the front, In addition to numerous nails (not shown) and windmills (not shown) for guiding the ball, rails 61, 62, general prizes, Entry 63, first entry 64, second entry 140, variable entry device 65, through gate 67, possible The display unit 80 and other components are assembled, and the periphery of the display unit 80 is the inner frame 12 (see FIG. 1). It can be attached to the back side.

[0029] The base plate 60 is made of a wooden plate member. The winning slot 140 and the variable display unit 80 are formed on the base plate 60 by router processing. The through holes are fixed to the front side of the game board 13 with tapping screws or the like. The base plate 60 may be made of a light-transmitting resin material. The player can see the various structures arranged on the back side of the base plate 60 from the side. become.

[0030] The central front portion of the game board 13 is connected to the inner frame 12 through a window 14c (see FIG. 1) of the front frame 14. The structure of the game board 13 will be described below with reference to FIG. We will explain about this.

[0031] On the front of the game board 13, there is an outer rail 62 formed by bending a strip-shaped metal plate into a substantially arcuate shape. The outer rail 62 is made of a metal strip at the inner position of the outer rail 62. The inner rail 61 and the outer rail 62 form a circular arc. The front periphery of the board 13 is enclosed, and the front and rear are separated by the game board 13 and the glass unit 16 (see FIG. 1). The area in front of the game board 13 is a game area where the game is played depending on the behavior of the ball. The play area is in front of the game board 13 and includes two rails 61 and 62 and a rail The area (where the prize slots and the like are located) is partitioned by the resin outer edge member 73 that connects the spaces. The area into which the launched ball flows.

[0032] The two rails 61 and 62 guide the balls launched from the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 4). The inner rail 61 is provided to guide the ball to the top of the game board 13. A return ball prevention member 68 is attached to the upper left part of the game board 13, and the ball is once guided to the upper part of the game board 13. This prevents the ball from returning to the ball guide passage. A return rubber 69 is attached to the part (upper right part of Figure 2) corresponding to the maximum flight part of the ball. The ball, which is launched with a force greater than a predetermined force, hits the return rubber 69 and the force is reduced. It bounces back towards the center.

[0033] In the lower left corner of the play area when viewed from the front (lower left corner of Figure 2), there are multiple LEDs and First symbol display devices 37A and 37B equipped with 7-segment displays are provided. The pattern display devices 37A and 37B are controlled by the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4). The display is mainly for displaying the gaming status of the pachinko machine 10. In this state, the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B detect whether the ball has entered the first winning hole 64 or the second winning hole 65. It is configured to be used depending on whether a prize is won at the prize slot 140. When the ball enters the first winning slot 64, the first symbol display device 37A is activated, while When the ball enters the second winning hole 140, the first symbol display device 37B is activated. It is composed of:

[0034] In addition, the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B use LEDs to indicate whether the pachinko machine 10 is in a probability variation state or not. The lighting status indicates whether the time is reduced or normal, and whether the time is fluctuating or not. It shows whether the stopped pattern corresponds to a special jackpot or a regular jackpot. The lighting status indicates whether the pattern is a symbol or not, and the number of reserved balls is also indicated by the lighting status. The segment display device displays the number of rounds during the jackpot and any errors. The ED is configured so that each LED emits a different color (e.g., red, green, blue). By combining light emitting colors, it is possible to indicate various game states of the pachinko machine 10 using a small number of LEDs. This can be done.

[0035] In addition, in this pachinko machine 10, there was a win in the first winning slot 64 and the second winning slot 140. The pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the lottery results in a jackpot. A win / loss determination (jackpot lottery) will be made, and if a jackpot is determined, the type of jackpot will be The types of jackpots that are judged here are 15R chance jackpot, 4R chance jackpot, The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B are equipped with: Not only will the stopping pattern after the change be displayed to indicate whether the lottery result is a jackpot or not, In the case of a jackpot, a symbol corresponding to the type of jackpot is displayed.

[0036] Here, "15R probability jackpot" means that the maximum number of rounds is 15 after the jackpot. A "4R probability jackpot" is a jackpot that transitions to a high probability state in the maximum number of rounds. It is a jackpot where the number of rounds changes to a high probability state after a jackpot of 4 rounds. In addition, the "15R normal jackpot" is a jackpot with a maximum of 15 rounds, The game transitions to a low probability state and enters a time-saving state for a specified number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuations). It is a big hit that becomes a big hit.

[0037] In addition, "high probability state" means that the probability of a subsequent jackpot is increased as an added value after the jackpot ends. This refers to the state where the probability is fluctuating (during a special probability change), in other words, the special game state. In this embodiment, the high probability state (during the probability change) is a game state in which the player is likely to transition to the A game state in which the probability of winning the second symbol described above increases and the ball is more likely to enter the second winning slot 140. "Low probability state" refers to the time when there is no probability change, and the probability of winning is in the normal state, i.e. This refers to a state in which the probability of winning is lower than during the "high probability state." (During time reduction) means that the probability of winning is normal, and the probability of winning remains the same. This is a game state in which only the probability of winning the second symbol increases and the ball is more likely to enter the second winning slot 140. On the other hand, the normal state of the pachinko machine 10 is a state of play that is neither in a special mode nor in a time-saving mode ( Neither the probability of winning the jackpot nor the probability of winning the second symbol has increased.

[0038] During the probability change and time reduction, not only does the probability of winning the second symbol increase, but the second winning slot 14 The time that the wing component 945 (electric device) attached to 0 is released has also been changed, and it is longer than normal. When the blade member 945 is in an open state (open state), the blade Compared to when the member 945 is in a closed state (closed state), the ball is less likely to enter the second winning hole 140. Therefore, during the probability variation or the time reduction, the ball is likely to enter the second winning slot 140. This will increase the number of times the jackpot lottery will be held.

[0039] In addition, during the probability change or the time reduction, the opening time of the feather member 945 attached to the second winning port 140 Instead of changing the time, or in addition to changing the opening time, The number of times that the wing members 945 open may be increased compared to normal times. During the probability change or time reduction, the probability of winning the second symbol does not change, and the second winning slot 140 The time during which the blade member 945 is opened and the number of times the blade member 945 is opened per hit are determined. At least one of them may be changed. Also, during the probability change or time reduction, the second winning port The time for which the feather member 945 attached to 140 is opened, and the time for which the feather member 945 is opened in one hit The number of times will not be changed, but only the probability of winning the second symbol will be increased compared to normal. It may also be something.

[0040] When a ball lands in the game area, 5 to 15 balls are paid out as prize balls. A plurality of general winning slots 63 are arranged. In addition, a variable display device is provided in the center of the game area. The variable display unit 80 is provided with a first winning slot 64 and The first symbol display device 37A, 37B is triggered by a winning (start winning) to the second winning port 140. The LCD display (hereinafter referred to as The third symbol display device 81 is composed of a ball of the through gate 67. The second symbol display device (Fig. The variable display unit 80 is also provided with a third pattern display device. A center frame 86 is disposed so as to surround the outer periphery of 81.

[0041] The third pattern display device 81 is composed of a large 9-inch liquid crystal display. The display control device 114 (see FIG. 4) controls the display contents, so that, for example, For example, three rows of symbols are displayed: top, middle, and bottom. Each row of symbols is made up of multiple symbols (third symbols). These third symbols are displayed on the third symbol display device 81 by scrolling horizontally for each symbol row. The third symbol is variably displayed on the display screen. The display of the game state according to the control of the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4) is the first symbol display. The display of the first pattern display device 37A, 37B is performed by the device 37A, 37B. Instead of a display device, a reel or the like may be used. The third pattern display device 81 may be configured in this manner.

[0042] The second symbol display device displays a display symbol (second symbol (as shown)) every time the ball passes through the through gate 67. A variable display that alternately lights up the "○" pattern and the "×" pattern for a predetermined period of time without In the pachinko machine 10, when the ball passes through the through gate 67, If the result of the lottery is a win, the second symbol display device In the place, after the second pattern is displayed, the "○" pattern is displayed. If the result is a miss, the second symbol display device will display the "x" symbol after the third symbol changes. The pattern is displayed frozen.

[0043] In the pachinko machine 10, the variable display on the second symbol display device is a predetermined symbol (in this embodiment, When the ball stops on the "○" pattern, the feather member 945 attached to the second winning port 140 It is configured to be in an operating state (open) for a fixed period of time.

[0044] The time it takes for the second symbol to change and display is longer during a special or time-varying game than during a normal game. The shorter the time, the shorter the time. Since the variable display is performed in a short time, more winning lotteries can be held than usual. Therefore, the chances of winning in the lottery are increased, so the blade member of the second winning slot 140 945 can be opened. Therefore, during the probability change and During the time reduction, the state can be made such that the ball is more likely to enter the second winning hole 140.

[0045] In addition, during the probability change or time reduction, the wings for one hit increase the probability of winning. By increasing the opening time or number of openings of Material 945, or by other methods, If the ball is in a state where it is easy to enter the second winning hole 140 during the short period, the second symbol will be displayed. The time required for the second symbol to be displayed may be constant regardless of the game state. If the winning time is set shorter during a probability change or a time-saving period than during normal play, the winning probability may be constant regardless of the game state, or the feather member 945 for one win may be The opening time and number of times may be constant regardless of the game state.

[0046] The through gate 67 is attached to the game board 13 in the left and right areas of the variable display unit 80. The ball is found and shot onto the game board 13 so that part of the ball can pass through. When the ball passes through To67, a drawing for the second symbol is held. The display device will display a fluctuating pattern, and if the result of the lottery is a win, the fluctuating pattern will stop. If the winning lottery result is a miss, the variable display will stop and and an "X" symbol will be displayed.

[0047] The number of times a ball passes through the through gate 67 can be reserved up to a maximum of four times in total, and the number of reserved balls increases. The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B are displayed and the second symbol reserved lamp ( The second symbol reserve lamp is provided with four lamps, the maximum number of reserved symbols. They are arranged symmetrically below the third pattern display device 81.

[0048] In addition, as in this embodiment, the variable display of the second symbol is performed by using a plurality of second symbol display devices. In addition to switching the lamp on and off, the first pattern display device 37A, 37B and a part of the third symbol display device 81 may be used. The lighting of the symbol reservation lamp may be performed by a part of the third symbol display device 81. The maximum number of reserved balls for passing the Rugate 67 ball is not limited to four, but may be three or more. The number of times may be set to 5 or more (for example, 8 times). The number of the assembled parts is not limited to two, and may be, for example, one. The mounting position of the gate 67 is not limited to the left or right of the variable display unit 80. For example, it may be located below the variable display unit 80. ,37B indicates the number of reserved balls, so the second reserved lamp will not light up. It may also be something.

[0049] Below the variable display unit 80, a first winning hole 64 into which a ball can enter is provided. When a ball enters the first winning hole 64, a first winning hole slot provided on the back side of the game board 13 is opened. A switch (not shown) is turned on, and the first winning slot switch is turned on, causing the main control device The jackpot is drawn at 110 (see Figure 4), and the display according to the result is the first symbol table. This is shown by display device 37A.

[0050] On the other hand, a second winning hole 140 into which a ball can enter is disposed below the first winning hole 64 as viewed from the front. When a ball enters the second winning hole 140, a second winning hole provided on the back side of the game board 13 The prize port switch (not shown) is turned on, and the main control is triggered by the turning on of the second prize port switch. The control device 110 (see FIG. 4) draws for the big win, and the display according to the lottery result is displayed on the first screen. It is shown on the pattern display device 37B.

[0051] In addition, the first winning slot 64 and the second winning slot 140 each award five balls when a ball enters the slot. This is also one of the winning holes from which prize balls are paid out. The number of winning balls paid out when a ball enters the first winning slot 64 and the number of winning balls paid out when a ball enters the second winning slot 140 The number of winning balls paid out when the ball enters the first winning slot 64 is the same as the number of winning balls paid out when the ball enters the first winning slot 64. The number of prize balls to be paid out when the ball enters the second winning port 140 is For example, if the ball enters the first winning slot 64, the number of prize balls to be paid out is set to 3. However, even if the number of prize balls paid out when a ball enters the second winning port 140 is set to five, good.

[0052] The second winning opening 140 is provided with a feather member 945. This feather member 945 can be opened and closed. Normally, the vane member 945 is in a closed state (reduced state), and the ball enters the second winning hole. It is difficult to get into 140. On the other hand, the ball passing through the through gate 67 is an opportunity As a result of the variable display of the second symbol, the symbol "○" was displayed on the second symbol display device. In this case, the blade member 945 is in an open state (expanded state), and the ball is likely to enter the second winning hole 140. This results in a poor condition.

[0053] As mentioned above, during the probability of winning and the time-saving mode, the probability of winning the second symbol is higher than during normal mode. In addition, the time it takes for the second symbol to change is short, so the second symbol will change to "○". The pattern is more likely to be displayed, and the number of times that the blade member 945 is in the open state (expanded state) increases. Furthermore, during the probability change and time reduction, the time that the feather material 945 is opened will be longer than during normal times. Therefore, during the probability variation and time reduction, the ball is more likely to enter the second winning slot 140 than during normal times. This can create a good situation.

[0054] Here, when the ball enters the first winning slot 64 and when the ball enters the second winning slot 140, The probability of winning the jackpot is the same whether it is in a low probability state or a high probability state. However, if a jackpot is selected, it will be a 15R jackpot. The probability of the ball entering the second winning slot 140 is higher than the probability of the ball entering the first winning slot 64. On the other hand, the first winning slot 64 is set higher than the second winning slot 140. It does not have any feathers, so the ball is always in a state where it can win a prize.

[0055] Therefore, during normal operation, when the blade member associated with the second winning port 140 is in a closed state, Since there are many balls and it is difficult to win the second winning slot 140, the balls are directed to the first winning slot 64, which does not have a feather member. The ball is shot so that it passes to the left of the variable display unit 80 (a so-called "left shot"); By winning the first prize slot 64, you will have more chances to win the jackpot lottery and you will win the jackpot. It is advantageous for the player to aim for this.

[0056] On the other hand, during the probability change or time reduction, by passing the ball through the through gate 67, the second winning port 14 The blade member 945 attached to the second winning hole 140 is easily opened, and the second winning hole 140 is easily opened. Since the display device 80 is in this state, the ball passes through the right side of the display device 80 toward the second winning hole 140. The ball is shot to the right (so-called "right shot"), and passes through the through gate 67 to open the blade member. At the same time, those who aimed to win the 15R jackpot by winning the second winning slot 140 This is advantageous for the player.

[0057] In the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, the game board 13 is configured symmetrically. Therefore, you can aim for the first winning slot 64 by "hitting on the right" or the second winning slot 140 by "hitting on the left". Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment can also be used to determine the game status (confirmation) of the pachinko machine 10. Depending on whether the game is in a special mode, a time-saving mode, or a normal mode, the player is given the option to shoot the ball. It is not necessary to change the way of hitting the ball between "left-handed" and "right-handed". This eliminates the hassle of changing the

[0058] A variable winning device 65 (see FIG. 2) is disposed below the first winning opening 64. A specific winning hole 65a is provided in the center portion. In the pachinko machine 10, the first winning hole 6 If the jackpot lottery resulting from winning in No. 4 or the second winning slot 140 is a jackpot, After a predetermined time (variable time) has elapsed, the first symbol display device displays a jackpot stop symbol. 37A or the first symbol display device 37B is turned on, and the stop symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed. The pattern is displayed on the third pattern display device 81 to indicate the occurrence of a jackpot. The game state transitions to a special game state (jackpot) where it is easy to win. The specific winning port 65a, which is sometimes closed, remains open for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). The balls will be released until 10 balls have been placed in the winning position.

[0059] This special winning port 65a is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed, and after the closure, the special winning port 65a is closed again. The fixed prize winning opening 65a is opened for a predetermined time. This opening and closing action can be repeated up to 15 times (15 rounds). is a form of special game state that is advantageous to the player, and the player has a gaming value ( As a reward for skill value, a larger number of prize balls than usual are paid out.

[0060] The special game state is not limited to the above-mentioned form. A large opening that can be opened and closed separately is provided in the game area, and the large opening is provided in the first symbol display device 37A, 37B. When the LED corresponding to the win is lit, the specific winning port 65a is opened for a predetermined time. When the ball enters the specific winning hole 65a while the specific winning hole 65a is open, the specific A game state in which a large opening provided separately from the winning opening 65a is opened a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time is specified. It may be formed as a separate game state. Also, the specific winning hole 65a is limited to one. Instead, one or more than two (for example, three) may be arranged, and the arrangement position may also be The display area is not limited to the lower right side of the first winning opening 64 or the lower left side of the first winning opening 64, but may be, for example, a variable display device. It may also be located to the left of the mounting unit 80.

[0061] At the right corner of the lower side of the game board 13, there is a space for attaching a certificate stamp, an identification label, etc. The stamp or the like pasted in the pasting space K1 is passed through a small window 35 (see Fig. 1).

[0062] The game board 13 is provided with an outlet 71. Balls that do not enter any of the winning holes 63, 64, 65a, 640 will pass through the out hole 71. The balls are guided to a ball discharge path (not shown). are arranged in the

[0063] A large number of nails are planted on the game board 13 to appropriately distribute and adjust the direction in which the balls fall. In addition, various components (accessories) such as windmills are installed.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 3, the rear side of the pachinko machine 10 is provided with control board units 90 and 91, and a back The control board unit 90 is mainly equipped with a pack unit 94. device 110), a voice lamp control board (voice lamp control device 113), and a display control board (display The control board unit 91 is a unit equipped with a dispenser control device 114. Control board (dispensing control device 111), launch control board (launch control device 112), and power supply board (power The power supply device 115 and the card unit connection board 116 are mounted as a unit.

[0065] The back pack unit 94 is made up of a back pack 92 and a dispensing unit 93 that form a protective cover part. Each control board has a single-chip microcomputer that controls each part. MPU, ports for communicating with various devices, random number generators used in various lotteries, time Clock pulse generation circuits, etc., used for counting and synchronization are installed as needed. It has been done.

[0066] In addition, the main control device 110, the voice lamp control device 113, the display control device 114, the payout control device control device 111, launch control device 112, power supply device 115, card unit connection board 116 are housed in board boxes 100 to 104, respectively. 4 includes a box base and a box cover that covers the opening of the box base.

[0090] As described above, the game board 13 is made of a base plate 60 cut into a substantially square shape when viewed from the front, and a ball design is attached to the base plate 60. In addition to numerous nails (not shown) and windmills (not shown), rails 61, 62, general winning slots 6 3, first winning port 64, second winning port 140, through gate 67, variable winning device 65, variable table a display unit 80, a pair of left and right window movable units 150, and a ball discharged from the game area The ball flow-down unit 290 and the like are assembled, and the peripheral portion is an inner frame. 12 (see Figure 1).

[0091] As described above, the base plate 60 is made of plywood made by plywood layers. In order to prevent players from seeing the various structures arranged on the back side of the base plate 60 from the front side of the The base plate 60 is formed so as to be shieldable.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 6, the base plate 60 supports the variable display unit 80 at a substantially central position. In addition to the through-holes drilled to allow for placement, there are holes for passing electrical wiring connected to the through gate 67. A plurality of (two in this embodiment) small through holes 60a are drilled in the front of the operation unit 300. A plurality of (three in this embodiment) fitting recesses 60b are provided so that the end portions can be fitted with the recesses and protrusions, and left and right A plurality of (two in this embodiment) light transmitting holes 60c are provided in the lower portion in the front-rear direction. can.

[0093] The light transmitting hole 60c is formed at a position where light irradiated from the operating unit 300 side can pass through. From the viewpoint of light-emitting effects, the effects of the game board 13 are improved. We will explain in detail about this.

[0094] On the front side of the light passing hole 60c, a flow-down surface component 91 made of a light-transmitting resin material is provided. , 92 are arranged, and the outer portions 94 of the flow-down surface components 91, 92 are formed in the light-transmitting holes 60c. The downflow surface components 91 and 92 are fastened and fixed to the base plate 60 in a manner covering the above.

The belt-shaped portion 93 and the play area defined by the belt-shaped portion 93 are configured to be A play area defined by an outer portion 94 (outer portion when viewed from the front) and a band-shaped portion 93 and an inner portion 95 which is the inner portion (inner portion when viewed from the front) of the above.

[0097] As described above, the outer portion 94 is located outside the play area, and is therefore a portion that is less likely to affect the flow of the ball. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the effect on the sphere caused by the displacement of the outer plate portion 94. Since there is no need for a stud, the thickness of the outer portion 94 can be designed to be thin.

[0098] Furthermore, even if the thickness of the inner portion 95 is thinned as a result of designing the outer portion 94 to be thin, Since the thick portion of the base plate 60 is disposed on the rear side of the portion 95, the rigidity of the base plate 60 can be utilized.

By doing so, the base plate 60 can be made of a wooden plate member, and the base plate 60 can be visually recognized through the base plate 60. The brightness can be easily changed.

[0101] For example, the outer portion 94 and other portions may be visually recognized as being continuously connected in a front view. When forming a decorative pattern, it is arranged on the illumination board 777 arranged on the back side of the outer part 94. By changing the light emitting mode of the light emitting means 778 among a plurality of types and changing the brightness of the outer part 94, Even if the decorative pattern is the same, it can be seen in a variety of different ways.

[0102] Also, for example, a decorative member that changes the visible pattern depending on the light emitting state of the light emitting means 778 In this case, the light emitting means 778 may be attached to the outer portion 94. This allows the appearance (image) of the game board 13 to be greatly changed.

[0103] The manner in which the visible pattern of the decorative member changes depending on the light emission mode is not limited in any way. For example, the angle of light, as typified by illumination plates, It may also be a member designed to allow different patterns to be visible depending on the color. It is drawn, and assuming that multiple colors of light are prepared, by changing the light emission color It may also be a member designed to change the visible pattern.

[0104] As described above, the inner portion 95 is disposed inside the play area. If the ball is deformed, it may affect the ball flowing down the playing area. Since the back surface of the base plate 60 is arranged on the rear side of the portion 95 (light transmitting hole 60c is configured to be accommodated on the outer portion 94 side relative to the belt-shaped portion 93 when viewed from the front. The rigidity of the base plate 60 can be utilized to prevent the inner portion 95 from being displaced (deformed). This allows the ball to flow down more steadily.

[0105] The inner portion 95 is provided with a general winning opening 63, which is processed by a router. Therefore, the flow-down surface component 91 is disposed in the through-hole formed in the base plate 60, and the flow-down surface component 91 is It is fixed from the front side with tapping screws or the like.

A connector 182 is provided as a part to which electrical wiring is connected, and an assembly and a plurality of through holes 183 drilled in the illumination board 180 for use.

[0123] The light emitting means 181 includes a strong light emitting means 181a arranged inside the light transmitting hole 177 when viewed from the front. , and a weak light emitting element disposed outside the light transmitting hole 177 (facing the rear surface of the front member 170F). and optical means 181b.

[0124] The through-hole 183 is formed in an elliptical shape that is long along the inclined direction. Assembling the through hole 183 to the protruding cylindrical portion 172 whose outer shape is formed in a perfect circular shape when viewed from the front This can be facilitated.

[0125] That is, while the position of the illumination board 180 is tilted (see FIG. 10), the protrusion of the protruding columnar portion 172 The installation direction is not tilted (front and back), so it is easier to install than when assembled in the same direction. Although assembly defects (failure to assemble or loosening) are likely to occur, in this embodiment In the example, the through-hole 183 is formed in a long oval shape along the direction in which the orientation of the illumination board 180 is tilted. Therefore, the margin of the through hole 183 along the inclined direction can be made large, and the protruding This makes it easier to assemble the through-hole 183 into the columnar portion 172.

[0126] The illumination board 180 is housed between the front member 170F and the middle member 170M. The illumination board 180 is oriented so that the front of the board faces diagonally downward (the normal line is inclined downward toward the front side). This will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG.

[0127] FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the window movable unit 150 taken along the line XX in FIG. For ease of understanding, the rear member 170B is not shown, and the outer shape of the displacement member 151 can be imagined. The line XX is arranged to pass through the center of the upper protruding columnar portion 172. In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 8 and 9 as appropriate.

[0128] The front wall of the intermediate member 170M is configured as an upper wall portion 170MU and a lower wall portion 170MU. That is, the upper wall portion 170MU is not inclined (the normal is horizontal). The lower wall portion 170MD is configured as a wall portion that is inclined (the normal line of the wall portion 170MD is inclined downward toward the front side). It is configured as a wall-like part (facing the wall).

[0129] In this way, the back surface of the illumination board 180 is different from the wall-like portion having different normals. It is supported so that it is in a position along the MD (a position in which the normal line is inclined downwards towards the front side). In the standing state (see FIG. 2), the optical axis of the light emitted from the light emitting means 181 of the illumination board 180 The direction of the arrow is inclined downwards towards the front side.

[0130] The central member 170M has a protruding frame portion 171 that protrudes in a frame shape toward the front side, and the protruding frame portion A plurality of protruding cylindrical portions 172 are provided on the inside of the housing 170 so as to protrude toward the front side in the shape of a thin cylindrical column, and the left and right outer portions ( (Left) A wiring hole 173 drilled in the front-rear direction in a position surrounding the connector 182 at the corner. It is equipped with:

[0131] The protruding frame portion 171 abuts against the outer frame portion of the front member 170F at the front and rear, thereby forming the illumination board 180 This allows the illumination board 180 to be sealed around the front member 170F and the middle member 170G. It is possible to avoid being seen from between 0M and 1M, and to prevent light leakage from the same position. This can prevent the occurrence of

[0132] The protruding cylindrical portion 172 has a large diameter seat portion and a small diameter insertion portion that protrudes further from the seat portion. The illumination board 180 is assembled by inserting the insertion portion into the through hole 183 of the illumination board 180. The back surface of the board 180 is supported by the seat, and the position of the illumination board 180 can be stabilized.

[0133] Here, compared to the seat of the protruding columnar portion 172 disposed on the lower wall-like portion 170MD, The seat of the protruding columnar portion 172 disposed in the portion 170MU is high. The electric lighting board 180 can be stably supported in the inclined position. A gap can be secured between the side wall portion 170MU and the illumination board 180.

[0134] The protruding tip of the seat of the protruding cylindrical portion 172 is an inclined surface (downward) that matches the posture of the illumination board 180. The protruding length is shortened as it approaches the inclined surface. As a result, the protruding cylindrical portion 172 not only functions to stabilize the placement of the illumination board 180, but also The function of stabilizing the posture of the board 180 can be imparted.

[0135] The wiring hole 173 is for passing electrical wiring connected to the connector 182 of the illumination board 180. The through holes are for the purpose of preventing the electric wiring from being damaged by the load applied to the electric wiring board 180. Since the posture of the board 180 can be maintained, the illumination board 180 can be mounted without being fastened. The position of the illumination board 180 can be stably supported.

[0136] The front member 170F is made of a colored (white in this embodiment) light-transmitting resin material with a back surface extending downward. The side wall portion 170MD is formed in a shape that is approximately parallel to the side wall portion 170MD, and is formed in a circular shape in the front-rear direction. a plurality of light transmitting holes 177 and a plurality of protruding cylindrical portions 178 protruding in the shape of a thin cylindrical column toward the rear side; and an L-shaped support portion 1 having an L-shape when viewed from the left and right, which connects the back surface of the plate and the frame portion that forms the outer periphery. 79 and equipped.

[0137] The light transmitting hole 177 is formed so as to surround any one of the LEDs constituting the light emitting means 181 in a front view. As a result, the light emitting means 181 disposed on the rear side of the light transmitting hole 177 and the The light emitting means 181 other than the above will be different in appearance when viewed from the front side of the front member 170F. That is, the inside of the light transmitting hole 177 appears to emit stronger light than the other areas. It can be acknowledged.

[0138] The protruding cylindrical portions 178 are formed with a plurality of protruding lengths that are approximately equal. The distance between the main body plate portion of 170F and the illumination board 180 is set to the entire range where the illumination board 180 is disposed. Since the illumination board 180 in an inclined position can be supported at multiple positions while maintaining uniformity, The lighting board 18 is provided with the light means 181 so that the degree of freedom in arrangement of the light means 181 is maintained and the unevenness of the light emission state is suppressed. This can improve the stability of support for 0.

[0139] That is, the illumination board 180 is inclined so that the front surface of the board faces downward. To maintain the structure, it is preferable to support it from the front side, but it is not possible to provide a large support area in one place. When the illumination board 180 is supported by the light source 182, the light emitting device disposed on the front side of the illumination board 180 can be The area in which the stage 181 can be arranged tends to be limited. If the area of ​​the support portion is reduced in order to prioritize the area, the posture of the illumination board 180 will be lost and the front member 170F The distance between the main body plate and the illumination board 180 is likely to vary depending on the range in which the illumination board 180 is installed. There was a risk that unevenness in the form would easily occur.

[0140] In contrast to this, in this embodiment, multiple protruding cylindrical portions 178 with similar protruding heights and small diameters are provided, These are configured so that the front of the illumination board 180 can be supported at multiple points simultaneously. Then, the illumination board 180 is supported at a plurality of small gaps that occur between adjacent light emitting means 181. This allows the arrangement of the light emitting means 181. While maintaining the degree of freedom and suppressing unevenness in the light emission pattern, the support of the illumination board 180 is stable. It can be improved.

[0141] The L-shaped support portion 179 is disposed opposite to the upper surface and front surface of the illumination board 180 in the assembled state. This functions to suppress the displacement of the illumination board 180. The lower part of the L-shaped support part 179 arranged opposite the front of the illumination board 180 is a lower support. This prevents this.

[0142] In addition, the rear of the L-shaped support part 179, which is disposed opposite the upper surface of the illumination board 180, and the illumination board 1 80 is usually placed with a gap between them, loosely supporting the illumination board 180. This allows the vertical displacement of the illumination board 180 to be kept to a minimum.

[0143] A support part having the same shape as the L-shaped support part 179 is provided on the lower wall part 170M of the inner member 170M. D (formed at two positions on the left and right), and The rear surface of the lamp board 180 is opposed to the rear surface of the lamp board 180, and functions to suppress the displacement of the lamp board 180. In this embodiment, the L-shaped support parts arranged above and below the illumination board 180 support the illumination board 180. It is configured to be able to suppress displacement in the front-rear and up-down directions.

[0144] In this way, in this embodiment, the illumination board 180 is not directly fastened and fixed. The member 170F and the middle member 170M are sandwiched and supported from the front and rear, and are stably supported. This is, for example, by fastening and fixing the central member 170M and the illumination board 180 together to form a single rigid body. When configured as such, the illumination board 180 vibrates due to the influence of vibrations occurring in the middle member 170M. This is a measure that takes into consideration the possibility that this may occur.

[0145] That is, according to this embodiment, the illumination board 180 is attached to both the middle member 170M and the front member 170F. Since they are not fastened, if vibration occurs in the middle member 170M or the front member 170F, However, it is possible to easily maintain the position of the illumination board 180 independently.

[0146] Here, the vibration of the inner member 170M is likely to be caused by the In this embodiment, the electromagnetic solenoid SOL1 is SOL1 is located on the opposite side of the illumination board 180 across a gap formed on the front side of the upper wall portion 170MU. It is arranged on the side (rear side).

[0147] With this configuration, the vibration of the electromagnetic solenoid SOL1 is transmitted to the electric The vibration of the vibration solenoid SOL1 is transmitted to the decorative substrate 180. The deformation of 172 can be alleviated, and the vibration is prevented from being transmitted to the illumination board 180. Therefore, the electromagnetic solenoid SOL1 as the vibration source is directly connected to the illumination board 180. This can prevent direct transmission of vibrations.

[0148] The central member 170M is drilled in the front-rear direction with a diameter slightly longer than the diameter of the transmission shaft rod portion 162. A support hole 174 configured to be able to rotatably support the transmission shaft rod portion 162, and an electromagnetic solenoid S A lower restricting portion 175 is disposed below the electromagnetic solenoid SOL1. and an upper restricting portion 176 disposed on the opposite side of the restricting portion 174.

[0149] The driven member 163 is normally tilted by its own weight (see FIG. 11(a)). When electricity is supplied to the SOL1, a magnetic force (electromagnetic force) is generated, and this magnetic force (electromagnetic force) That is, in this embodiment, the metal plate member MB1 is attracted and displaced upward. The position where the object is placed as a result of rising due to electromagnetic force, and the position where the object is placed as a result of falling due to its own weight after the electromagnetic force disappears. As the abutting member 161 and the driven member 163 are displaced between the lowered position and the lowered position, The rotational displacement will be described below with reference to Figs.

[0150] 11(a) is a rear view of the window movable unit 150, and FIG. 11(b) is a rear view of the window movable unit 150. 12(a) is a front view of the unit 150. Also, FIG. 12(b) is a rear view of the window movable unit 150. 12(b) is a front view of the window movable unit 150. FIG.

[0151] In addition, in FIG. 11(a) and FIG. 11(b), electricity is supplied to the electromagnetic solenoid SOL1. 1 shows a state in which the driven member 163 is tilted by its own weight (a state in which the driven member 163 is in a lowered position). In Fig. 12(a) and Fig. 12(b), the electric current generated by supplying electricity to the electromagnetic solenoid SOL1 is The metal plate member MB1 and the driven member 163 are in a state of being raised by the magnetic force (in a raised position). ) is shown.

[0152] In addition, in order to facilitate understanding, in FIG. 11(a) and FIG. 12(a), the rear member 170B 11(b) and 12(b), the outer shape and rear side of the displacement member 151 are not shown. The shape of the opening is shown in imaginary lines.

[0153] As shown in FIG. 11(a) and FIG. 12(a), the driven member 163 is in the lowered position. The lower limiting portion 175 abuts against a cushion portion 175 a attached to the upper surface of the lower limiting portion 175 to limit the downward displacement. At the raised position, the cushion portion 17 is attached to the lower surface of the upper restricting portion 176. It contacts 6a and its upward displacement is restricted.

[0154] The material of the cushion portions 175a and 176a is not limited in any way. General-purpose plastics such as polypropylene and polystyrene may be used, or polycarbonate, etc. Engineering plastics such as melamine resin, polyurethane, and epoxy resin are also acceptable. The cushion portion 175a may be made of a thermosetting resin such as grease or a rubber material. The materials of 176a may be the same or different.

[0155] Here, the lower regulating portion 175 and the upper regulating portion 176 are arranged with the transmission shaft rod portion 162 as the reference. The positions (distances from the transmission shaft rod portion 162) are different, but The effects will be explained.

[0156] First, the load applied to the lower restricting portion 175 via the driven member 163 is mainly Since the load is generated by the weight of the driven member 163, the center of gravity of the driven member 163 is supported. The drive member 163 can be stably supported. For this reason, the lower restricting portion 175 is It is disposed at the center of gravity of the driven member 163 (approximately the center of the arm length).

[0157] In contrast, the load applied to the upper regulating portion 176 via the driven member 163 is mainly an electric Since the load is caused by the magnetic force (electromagnetic force) generated by the magnetic solenoid SOL1, the upper restricting member 176 There is little advantage to associating the position of the center of gravity of the driven member 163 with the position of the center of gravity of the driven member 163. By arranging the braking member 176 opposite the rotation tip of the driven member 163, the driven member 163 This reduces the load transmitted to the upper regulating member 176 via the nut 176a.

[0158] That is, when a moment of force of the same magnitude is generated, the rotation axis of the driven member 163 The position farther from the center (the position where the arm related to the moment is long) is transmitted via the driven member 163. Since the load applied to the upper regulating member 176 is reduced, the load transmitted to the upper regulating member 176 can be reduced. do.

[0159] In this way, the load is transmitted to the upper regulating member 176 at the rotation tip of the driven member 163. Therefore, in this embodiment, the width dimension (radial direction) of the cushion portion 176a is The width of the cushion portion 175a is shortened (shorter than the width of the cushion portion 175a). The load is transmitted stably at the tip of the rotation by avoiding the load transmission at the middle part of the driving member 163. It can be caused.

[0160] In addition, at the raised position, the magnetic force (electromagnetic force) generated by the electromagnetic solenoid SOL1 continues to be generated. Therefore, it is unlikely that the driven member 163 will bounce back after colliding with the cushion portion 176a.

[0161] On the other hand, the width dimension (radial width) of the cushion portion 175a of the lower restricting portion 175 is made long (cushion By making the length longer than the width of the connection portion 176a, the area of ​​the surface that receives the load is increased. The pressure ( This reduces the stress caused by the collision with the cushion portion 175a. The bouncing of the moving member 163 can be suppressed.

[0162] Therefore, according to this embodiment, when the driven member 163 is displaced in both the up and down directions, The load transmitted to the cushion portions 175a and 176a is reduced while the driven member 163 The rebound can be suppressed.

[0163] Below the upper restricting portion 176, a protruding portion is provided in a curved shape on the rear side of the inner member 170M. The protrusion 176b is disposed opposite to the rotation tip of the driven member 163. When the driven member 163 is displaced to the front side, contact with the driven member 163 is suppressed in a small area. While holding the driven member 163, the rotation of the driven member 163 is guided.

[0164] As shown in FIG. 11(b) and FIG. 12(b), the light transmitting hole 177 is disposed inside the light transmitting hole 177 when viewed from the front. The tip 153 of the displacement member 151 is disposed on the front side of the strong light emission means 181a. Therefore, the light emitted from the strong light emitting means 181a is visible to the player through the tip portion 153. .

[0165] As described above, the internal shape of the production unit 153a makes it possible to see the production unit 153a from the front side. To make the player who is watching the game see that the entire performance unit 153a is glowing (faintly) Therefore, the actual position of the strong light emitting means 181a does not change, while the displacement member 151 changes. Even in a situation where the lighting condition of the effect unit 153a is changed, the change in the lighting condition of the effect unit 153a can be suppressed.

[0166] In other words, the light visible through the production unit 153a is synchronized with the displacement of the production unit 153a. Since the player can visually recognize that the movement is being displaced, it is as if the movement of the performance unit 153a Is a light emitting means such as an LED disposed inside, and does it move in synchronization with the movement of the performance unit 153a? This can create the illusion of...

[0167] On the other hand, the weak light emitting means 181b can be made to appear to emit light at a fixed position. While using a fixedly positioned illumination board 180, the weak light emitting hand provided on the illumination board 180 The step 181b is visually recognized as emitting light at a fixed position, and is also disposed on the illumination board 180. The strong light emitting means 181a can be visually recognized as emitting light while being displaced.

[0168] This allows for the use of multiple lighting boards, with the first board being fixed and the second board being displaceable. The lighting effects that are often achieved by configuring a Noh performance are fixed in position and can be achieved by using a single lighting board. As a result, the number of illumination boards can be reduced while still achieving the same dramatic effect. It can be done.

[0169] Returning to FIG. 5, the operation unit 300 is disposed on the rear side of the game board 13, and Light emitting means and various operating units are disposed inside.

[0170] 13 is an exploded front perspective view of the operating unit 300. The operating unit 300 has a bottom wall The front side is open from the bottom wall 311 and the outer wall 312 standing on the outer edge of the bottom wall 311. and a rear case 310 formed in a box shape.

[0171] The rear case 310 has a rectangular opening 311a formed in the center of the bottom wall 311. The opening 311a is formed in a rectangular frame shape when viewed from the front. Corresponding to the outer shape (outer edge) of the area (i.e., dividing the display area of ​​the third pattern display device 81 in front view) The size is made to be large enough to accommodate the size.

[0172] The operating unit 300 is configured such that the movable device is located above the opening 311a in the inner space of the rear case 310. The first operating unit 400 is disposed so as to be displaceable along a path including the left and right sides of the opening 311a. The left and right performance units 600 are arranged on the side of the opening 311a and perform light emission performances, and the left and right performance units 600 are arranged on the bottom side of the opening 311a. The second operating unit 700 is accommodated in the second operating unit 700, and these are configured as one unit. can be.

[0173] Specifically, the first operating unit 400 is located above the opening 311a and performs the second operating The units 700 are attached to the bottom wall of the rear case 310 at positions below the openings 311a. 5, the first operating unit 400 and the second operating unit 311 are disposed in the 700 is shown attached to the rear case 310.

[0174] The rear case 310 is arranged along the rear surface of the game board 13 at the front end of the outer wall portion 312 (for example, The game board 13 is extended as a flat plate (arranged parallel to the game board 13) in an assembled state (see FIG. 2). It is provided with a support plate portion 313 for surface support.

[0175] The support plate portion 313 can be fitted into a fitting recess 60b formed in the base plate 60 of the game board 13. The positioning protrusion 313a is formed in a shape that protrudes toward the front side, and is fastened to the base plate 60. The connector has a plurality of insertion holes 313b through which fastening screws can be inserted.

[0176] The base plate is fixed to the base plate by fitting the positioning protrusion 313a into the fitting recess 60b (see FIG. 6). The rear case 310 is positioned relative to the base 60, and the fastening screws are inserted into the insertion holes 313b. By screwing the screw into the base plate 60, the game board 13 and the operation unit 300 are fixed together. Therefore, the rigidity of the game board 13 and the operation unit 300 as a whole can be improved. It is possible.

[0177] The shape of the positioning protrusion 313a is not limited in any way, and various shapes are possible. For example, the inner shape of the fitting recess 60b (in this embodiment, a circle or an oval) may be smaller than the inner shape. A small protrusion may be acceptable, or the fitting gap may be increased to facilitate assembly. The projection may have a shape (even smaller outer shape) similar to the above. If formed, the shape of the positioning protrusion 313a is also made rectangular correspondingly. is naturally assumed.

[0178] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 13, in this embodiment, the rear case 310 has a left side and an upper side. Many support plate portions 313 are densely arranged, and there are fewer support plate portions 313 on the right and lower sides. This is because the rigidity of the game board 13 and the operating unit 300 as a whole is improved and the space This is the result of a design that takes into consideration the balance between power consumption and power efficiency.

[0179] That is, as in this embodiment, the base plate 60 of the game board 13 is made of plywood laminated together. When the movable member is formed from the base plate 60, the movable member disposed on the rear side of the game board 13 is Therefore, the movable member is arranged in a visible area for the purpose of presentation. The entire back side of the area where an opening can be formed (recessed from the side) on the base plate 60 of the board 13 is effective. become.

[0180] On the other hand, in the area where the support plate portion 313 is formed, when viewed from the front of the support plate portion 313, The inner space of the rear case 310 is encroached on by the area of ​​the Therefore, the support plate portion 313 is omitted. However, if the strength problem can be solved and maintained, the support plate portion 313 can be omitted. This means that it is possible to avoid limiting the range in which the movable member can be disposed.

[0181] In this embodiment, many support plate portions 313 are arranged on the left and upper sides of the rear case 310. The range of the area in which the player can see the ball that is shot into the game area, etc. That is, the support plate portion 313 is formed in a location other than the range in which the shot ball is visible. I try to do so.

[0182] More specifically, in this embodiment, the ball is launched from the ball launching unit 112a (FIG. 4). The shot ball passes between the inner rail 61 and the outer rail 62 and passes through the return ball prevention member 68. The ball is introduced into the play area in such a way that it flows down the play area. In ball games, the most attention is likely to be focused on the area where the ball passes, and The outer area (for example, the area opposite the third pattern display device 81 across the outer rail 62 and the inner rail 61) Usually, attention to the surrounding area is low.

[0183] Therefore, the left-convex circle formed by the outer rail 62 is the range that the ball cannot reach. The lower left and upper left parts based on the arc, and the upper left and upper right parts based on the upward convex arc. It is thought that players will pay less attention to the game.

[0184] In addition, in this embodiment, the outer edge member 73 and the lower left and upper left portions of the outer rail 62 The surface of the outer rail 62 is formed in a shape that follows the outer rail 62. The block-shaped member 74 disposed on the side is made of a light-impermeable resin material. The board 13 is made of plywood, which is difficult for light to penetrate, and the The rear side of the game board 13 can be seen from the front side through the outer edge member 73 and the block-shaped member 74. It is configured so that this is not possible.

[0185] In this embodiment, support is given priority to areas where attention is low or areas that are not visible. In fact, the left side and upper side where the support plate portions 313 are formed are In this case, the support plate portion 313 is positioned on the back surface of the outer rail 62, avoiding the central portion as the protruding end portion of the outer rail 62. It is formed near the corner of the case 310.

[0186] In other words, the portions where the space is encroached by forming the support plate portion 313 are By selecting from the location with low visibility (low performance), the operation unit 300 The rigidity of the entire game board 13 is also ensured, while the player's attention is focused on the ball. This allows for a high degree of freedom in designing the field of view.

[0187] In this respect, the balls launched by the ball launching unit 112a are guided along the outer rail 62. This is a common configuration with pachinko machines, in which the ball is rolled and introduced into the playing area. The non-contact areas can be easily arranged in the lower left, upper left and upper right parts.

[0188] The lower half of the right outer wall 312 is notched toward the rear side (notch formed). The cutout portion 312a is formed so as to be in the shape of a band of the game board 13 when viewed from the front. 5) and in the assembled state (see FIG. 2), This creates a gap between the game board 13.

[0189] By forming the cutout portion 312a in this manner, the following effects can be achieved. For example, the gap formed by the notch 312a can be used as the variable winning device 65. To function as a wiring pass through which the connected electrical wiring passes to the outside of the rear case 310 This allows the electrical wiring to be routed more easily than when wiring is routed up and down. This can reduce the possibility of interference.

[0190] In addition, the gap formed by the cutout portion 312a is used to accommodate the structure required for the variable winning device 65. The space can be used as a space for arranging the structure. The components include, for example, a solenoid that generates driving force, a flow path for the balls, and a light source that accompanies the lighting effects. Examples include a substrate that can be used to detect a ball, a detection sensor that detects a ball, and other structures.

[0191] In addition, by disposing a light emitting means such as an LED near the notch 312a, the light emitting means This makes it easier for the player to see the light emitted from the device as light with a blurred outline. In other words, when the entire periphery of the rear case 310 is connected to the game board 13 (when the entire periphery of the game board 13 is connected to the game board 13), In comparison with the case where the boundary of the light irradiated from the rear side is formed along the shape of the rear case 310, In comparison, the boundary of the light visible through the game board 13 can be made vague. In order to avoid the boundary of light visible through the game board 13 depending on the shape of the rear case 310, This allows for greater freedom in lighting effects.

[0192] Furthermore, electrical wiring connected to light emitting means such as LEDs is connected to the operation unit along the back of the game board 13. Compared to the case where the wire is arranged so as to be protruded to the outside of the knit 300, the wire is arranged through the notch 312a. The configuration of this embodiment in which the electrical wiring is routed to the outside of the operating unit 300 is advantageous in that the electrical wiring This reduces the possibility of blocking the light emitted from the LED.

[0193] That is, the electrical wiring is brought out of the operating unit 300 without being routed to the front side of the LED. This eliminates the possibility that electrical wiring will block the light emitted from the LED. Therefore, the design of the effects using light emitted from light emitting means such as LEDs can be easily This can improve the degree of freedom.

[0194] The length (vertical length) of the cutout portion 312a is not limited in any way. For example, the notch 312a may be formed over the entire area (vertical width) between the upper and lower support plate portions 313. It may be formed.

[0195] As described above, in this embodiment, the right side of the rear case 310 is connected to the game board 13. Since fastening is omitted, when considering the rigidity of the right side of the game board 13, the operating unit You can't rely on the stiffness of the Knit 300.

[0196] As a countermeasure for this, in this embodiment, the outer edge portion is provided at a position corresponding to the right end of the game board 13. A metal plate-shaped member 75 made of metal is disposed in the space 73. The metal plate-shaped member 75 will be described below. do.

[0197] FIG. 14 is an exploded front perspective view of the game board 13, the outer edge member 73, and the metal plate-like member 75. 15 is an exploded rear perspective view of the game board 13, the outer edge member 73, and the metal plate member 75. In order to facilitate understanding, in Figs. 14 and 15, the game board 13 is shown as a single unit. Other members arranged on the skill board 13 are not shown in the drawing.

[0198] The outer edge member 73 is made of a resin material, forms the upper part, and has an inner surface in an arc shape. An arc wall portion 73a and a vertical wall extending downward from the lower end of the arc wall portion 73a in a thin wall shape. The vertical wall portion 73b has an upper surface that slopes downward from the lower end of the vertical wall portion 73b to the left. In this way, the outer edge member 73 is provided with an inclined wall portion 73c that is inclined in the up-down direction. By configuring the outer edge member 73 as a single member that covers the The number of steps required to assemble the outer edge member 73 to the game board 13 can be reduced compared to when the outer edge member 73 is attached to the game board 13. can.

[0199] The vertical wall portion 73b has a plurality of plate-like protruding portions 73b1 protruding in a plate-like manner toward the rear side along the right surface portion. and a plurality of bent portions 73b2 formed by bending the right surface portion from the front edge portion in a U-shape when viewed in the up-down direction. The arc wall portion 73a and the inclined wall portion 73c are provided at the joints thereof so as to protrude in a cylindrical shape toward the rear side. and a cylindrical protrusion 73b3 provided adjacent to the cylindrical protrusion 73b3 so that a fastening screw can be screwed in. and a fastening portion 73b4.

[0200] The bent portion 73b2 is disposed at the middle position of the intervals between the plate-shaped protruding portions 73b1. In relation to the metal plate member 75 described later, the joint formed in the metal plate member 75 The number of through-holes 75c formed is reduced, and the metal plate member 75 is attached to the vertical wall portion 73b. The holding power can be improved.

[0201] In other words, when the bending of the metal plate member 75 is resisted only by the three plate-shaped protruding portions 73b1, In comparison with the above, the plate-shaped protruding portion 73b1 and the bent portion 73b2 bend the metal plate-shaped member 75. This can reduce the load generated in one place. In addition, the plate-shaped protruding portions 73b1 and the bent portions 73b2 are arranged at equal intervals. Therefore, the load generated when the metal plate member 75 is bent can be evenly distributed. This can prevent excessive load from being applied to any one location.

[0202] The metal plate member 75 is folded back multiple times in the short direction, but is shaped without any creases in the long direction. The main body plate portion 75a is formed by bending the main body plate portion 75a to the left at the rear side edge thereof. The bent portion 75b is connected to the main body plate portion 75a and the bent portion 75b. The plurality of joint penetration parts 75c are formed, and the upper and lower ends of the bent part 75b are penetrated in the front and rear direction. The through hole 75d is formed in the plate portion where the through hole 75d is formed, and the plate portion is provided with a step on the front side. The plate portion is provided with an insertion hole 75e through which a fastening screw can be inserted.

[0203] In addition to the creases on the main body plate portion 75a, the metal plate member 75 has a bent portion 75b that is Since it is formed in all directions, it generates particularly strong resistance to bending in the longitudinal direction. By arranging the vertical wall portion 73b, which is easily bent in the longitudinal direction, as a single unit, the vertical wall portion 73b can be efficiently bent. can be reinforced.

[0204] The joint penetration portion 75c is formed to a size that allows the plate-shaped protruding portion 73b1 of the vertical wall portion 73b to be inserted therethrough. In this embodiment, the plate-shaped protruding portion 73b1 is inserted into the joint penetrating portion 75c. The vertical wall portion 73b and the metal plate member 75 are formed so as to be integrated together.

[0205] When the metal plate member 75 is assembled integrally with the vertical wall portion 73b, the main body plate portion 75a The front side edge is sandwiched between the bent portion 73b2 and the outer surface of the vertical wall portion 73b, and the cylindrical protruding portion 73b3 In this way, the metal plate member 75 and the vertical wall portion 73b are In this state, the fasteners inserted into the insertion holes 75e are positioned relative to each other at multiple points in the direction. By screwing the screw into the fastening portion 73b4, the outer edge member 73 and the metal plate-like member 75 are fastened and fixed. It is possible.

[0206] With the above-mentioned configuration, the metal plate member 75 is disposed above and below the vertical wall portion 73b. The plate-shaped protruding portion 73b1 and the plate-shaped protruding portion 73b2 of the vertical wall portion 73b can be reinforced as a whole. The cylindrical protrusion 73b3 penetrates the metal plate member 75 and extends to the rear side. The end engages with the game board 13. The engagement between the metal plate member 75 and the game board 13 will be explained below. Reveal.

[0207] The game board 13 has a plurality of recesses on the right edge of the front surface that can receive the plate-shaped protrusions 73b1. The recessed portion 13e and the cylindrical protruding portion 73b3 are received on the upper and lower sides of the recessed portion 13e. and a plurality of positioning holes 13f formed as recesses into which the electrodes can be inserted.

[0208] When the outer edge member 73 and the metal plate-like member 75 are assembled together into one unit, The plate-shaped protruding portion 73b1 is fitted to the recessed portion 13e, the circular protruding portion 73b3 is fitted to the positioning hole 13f, and That is, the plate-shaped protruding portion 73b1 and the circular protruding portion 73b 3 is used not only for positioning with the metal plate member 75 but also for positioning with the game board 13. This makes it possible to reduce the number of positions to be positioned.

[0209] In this embodiment, as described above, the metal plate member 75 is configured to suppress the curvature of the vertical wall portion 73b. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide sufficient rigidity to the vertical wall portion 73b alone. The portion 73b can be formed thin enough that it can be easily curved in the left and right direction by itself.

[0210] Furthermore, the rigidity of the metal plate member 75 can suppress deformation of the game board 13 (improving the rigidity Therefore, even if a gap occurs between the game board 13 and the rear case 310, the game board It can maintain its shape.

[0211] 5 and 13, the upper side of the third symbol display device 81 of the operation unit 300 The first operation unit 400 is provided in the A light-emitting device that can be displaced from the state shown in FIG. 13 to a position on the front side of the third pattern display device 81. The third symbol display device 81 is provided with a positioning device LA1, and is controlled to be displaced in synchronization with the display of the third symbol display device 81. , by controlling the displacement in synchronization with the operation of the frame button 22 that can be operated by the player. The first operation unit 400 is a device that visually entertains the player. The details will be explained.

[0212] 16 and 17 are partial front views of the operating unit 300. In FIG. The retracted state in which each component of the unit 400 is retracted to the upper side of the third pattern display device 81 is shown in the figure. 17, the components of the first operation unit 400 are in a state closer to the third symbol display device than the retracted state. 8. The figure shows the state in which the door 11 is extended (lowered) toward the side of the door 11.

[0213] As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the inner shape of the rear case 310 is not symmetrical. In particular, the upper wall (ceiling surface) is designed to fit the shape of the tank 130 of the dispensing unit 93 ( See Figure 3) the right side is lower than the left side when viewed from the front. The tank 130 is located on the upper right side of the operating unit 300. To ensure this, the upper wall of the rear case 310 is positioned so that the right side is lower than the left side. (arranged along the wall schematic line UL).

[0214] Thus, inside the rear case 310, the left side has a larger area than the right side. Therefore, in this embodiment, the drive motor MT1 and , coil spring SP1, etc. does not directly affect the appearance of the effects (visible to the player) The auxiliary equipment (not intended for this purpose) is located on the left side.

[0215] As a result, the recess (gap portion) caused by the left-right asymmetric shape of the upper wall of the rear case 310 The drive motor MT1 and coil spring SP1 can be arranged by effectively utilizing the The lower edge of the 400 can be moved as far up as possible while maintaining a symmetrical shape. This makes it easier to ensure a large vertical dimension in the visible area of ​​the display of the pattern display device 81.

[0216] In this embodiment, the first movement is made to match the asymmetric shape of the upper wall of the rear case 310. The shape of the feather-shaped member 460 (see FIG. 16) of the working unit 400 is The shape of the side that faces the upper wall of the rear case 310 in the retracted state of 0 is designed. The left-side feather-shaped member 460 is positioned closer to the upper wall of the rear case 310 than the right-side feather-shaped member 460. It is designed with a protruding shape.

[0217] The blade-shaped member 460 changes its state from the retracted state of the first operating unit 400 to the extended state. When the two parts are split, they are combined and can be seen as a single unit. In this state, the two parts have a symmetrical shape. Therefore, the left and right feather-shaped members 460 are designed to have an asymmetrical shape. This makes it difficult for technicians to notice.

[0218] In this embodiment, when the first operating unit 400 is in the retracted state, the asymmetrical movement of the feather-shaped members 460 Since the symmetrical shape part (the upper side that abuts when combined) is hidden by the game board 13 (see Figure 2), The left and right feather-shaped members 460 are configured in an asymmetrical shape, which makes it difficult for players to notice. This can be done.

[0219] 18 and 19 are front perspective views of the first operating unit 400, and FIGS. 20 and 21 are front perspective views of the first operating unit 400. 18 and 20 are rear perspective views of the first operating unit 400. 19 and 21 show the retracted state of the first operating unit 400. The exit state is shown.

[0220] The first operating unit 400 is rotated by the driving motor MT1. The arm member 414 rotates through a plurality of gears, and the lift plate 415 rotates in synchronization with the rotation. 430 rises and falls.

[0221] The lift plate 430 is disposed at approximately the center of the left and right, and is made of metal and is configured to be extendable up and down. a metal rail 405, and auxiliary arm members 444 disposed on the left and right opposite sides of the arm member 414; Supported by.

[0222] The lifting plate 430 has a mechanism for relatively displacing in the vertical direction in synchronization with the change in the posture of the auxiliary arm member 444. In synchronization with the displacement of the relative displacement member 442, A plurality of vane-like members 460 are displaced in a rotationally symmetrical manner to the right.

[0223] Therefore, the components of the first operating unit 400 are raised and lowered as the driving motor MT1 is driven. The retracted state and the extended state are displaced in a manner that combines the above-mentioned movement and rotation. This allows components to be displaced in multiple directions even though only a single drive motor MT1 is used. This allows for an improved presentation effect.

[0224] As shown in FIG. 20, when the first operating unit 400 is in the retreated state, the auxiliary arm member 4 The upper end position of the arc-shaped gear portion 444b of the lift plate 430 protrudes upward from the upper edge of the lift plate 430. When the first operating unit 400 is in the retracted state, the upper edge of the lift plate 430 The part is shielded by the base plate 60 of the game board 13 (see FIG. 2) and is difficult to see. The player will notice that the arc-shaped gear part 444b protrudes from the upper edge of the descending plate 430. It can be made difficult.

[0225] On the other hand, the lifting plate 430 is lowered from the retracted state of the first operating unit 400 to the extended state. The auxiliary arm member 444 rotates in conjunction with the displacement, so that the lifting and lowering The arc-shaped gear portion 444b that protrudes above the upper edge of the plate 430 (see FIG. 27) As the lifting plate 430 moves downward, it is displaced downward and hidden below the upper edge of the lifting plate 430. (See Figure 28).

[0226] In this way, the circle of the auxiliary arm member 444 is formed at the location shielded by the base plate 60 due to the arrangement. The arc-shaped gear portion 444b is allowed to protrude from the lift plate 430, and the lift plate 430 The protrusion is displaced to a position where it is not blocked by the base plate 60. By displacing the auxiliary arm member 444 so as to hide it in the lift plate 43, In comparison with the case where the auxiliary arm member 444 is configured to be hidden on the rear side of the 444 and the lift plate 430 can be designed with greater freedom.

[0227] For example, the upper edge of the lift plate 430 can be positioned lower, so that the lift plate 430 and the outer wall 312 at the top of the rear case 310. (See Figure 16).

[0228] In addition, by configuring the auxiliary arm member 444 to be rotatably displaced, the third pattern display device 81 A rack gear-like part (a part with gear teeth formed along a straight line) protrudes from the side. While avoiding the situation where the lifting plate 430 is maintained, the lifting plate 430 is extended toward the third symbol display device 81. The length can be secured sufficiently.

[0229] That is, a fixed rack gear-like portion is formed on the lift plate 430 side of the main body plate portion 401, and a rotary gear Even if the lift plate 430 is configured to mesh with the lever 441, the lift plate 430 moves up and down. The relative displacement member 442 can be displaced up and down by using a fixed rack gear. It is necessary to always arrange the shaped portion along the position where the lift plate 430 is arranged. Therefore, as in the case of the lifting plate 430 of this embodiment, most of the lifting plate 430 is located at the lower edge of the main plate portion 401. If the structure of the rack gear extending downward from the main body plate portion 401 is utilized, the fixed rack gear-like portion can be It was necessary to form it so that it protruded from the edge toward the third pattern display device 81.

[0230] Therefore, the third pattern display device 81 is shielded by a fixed rack gear-shaped part. The visibility of the third symbol display device 81 may be impaired, or the first operation unit 400 may be in a retracted state. In order to hide the rack gear-like part with the lifting plate 430, the design freedom of the lifting plate 430 is There is a risk of problems such as the temperature dropping.

[0231] In contrast, according to the present embodiment, a variable auxiliary gear is used instead of a fixed rack gear-like part. Since the arm member 444 is used, the lift plate 430 is displaced, and the rear side of the lift plate 430 is Therefore, the auxiliary arm member 444 can be arranged so as to hide the third symbol display device. While avoiding the situation where the rack gear-like part is kept protruding toward the side of the lifting plate, The projection length (displacement amount) of 430 toward the third pattern display device 81 can be sufficiently secured. Cut.

[0232] 22(a) and 23 are exploded front perspective views of the first operating unit 400. 4B shows the engagement state of the feather-shaped member 460 and the auxiliary member 470. 24 and 25 are exploded rear views of the first operating unit 400. FIG.

[0233] As shown in FIGS. 22(a), 23, 24, and 25, the first operating unit 400 includes: The bottom wall 3 of the rear case 310 (see FIG. 16) is made of a resin material and has a long plate shape. 11, and a plurality of plates 401 rotatably supported by the plate 401. A transmission unit 410 consisting of several members and an arm member 41 of the transmission unit 410. 4, and is composed of a plurality of plate-shaped parts arranged on the same plane, including a connecting plate part 421 connected to the tip of the and a rear arrangement plate 420 formed on the front side of the rear arrangement plate 420. 20 is fastened and fixed to the lifting plate 430, and the lifting plate 430 and the rear arrangement plate 420 accommodation plate portion 425 and a synchronous operation unit 440 supported between the synchronous operation unit 425 (see FIGS. 23 and 25). .

[0234] In addition, the first operating unit 400 includes a plate-shaped support plate portion 4 that is fastened and fixed to the lift plate 430. 50, and is rotatably supported by the support plate portion 450, and is located on the front side of the synchronous operation unit 440. A pair of left and right plates that rotate and displace under the load given by the displacement of the fixed transmission plate 490 fastened and fixed. The rotor includes a feather-shaped member 460 and an auxiliary member 470 that rotates synchronously with the feather-shaped member 460 (see FIG. 2). 2(a), Fig. 22(b) and Fig. 24).

[0235] The main body plate portion 401 is made up of a shaft support portion 402 that supports a transmission gear 412 and a The end support part 403 supports the end gear 413, and the column part supports the arm member 414. The arm support part 404 is disposed in the center of the left and right, and the front side part is displaceable up and down. The metal rail 405 to which the rear side is fixed, and the left side of the metal rail 405 The long hole portion 406 is formed as a long opening on the right side, and the light-transmitting resin material is formed in a plate shape. A cover 407 covers the area where the long hole 406 is formed from the rear side, and a and a detection sensor SC1.

[0236] The end support portion 403 is made up of a shaft support portion 403a formed in the same shape as the shaft support portion 402, and An annular protrusion 403b is provided along a circle centered on the shaft support portion 403a, and the annular protrusion 403b is provided along a circle centered on the shaft support portion 403a. A stopper is provided in a fan shape protruding toward the front side at a position between the protrusion 403b and the shaft support portion 403a. The stopper portion 403c is formed by general compression molding. The opposite side of the protrusion is formed as a recess.

[0237] The lid portion 407 closes the area where the long hole portion 406 is formed. In this way, the wiring hole 401a formed through the main body plate portion 401 is The electrical wiring DH1 that has passed through the elongated hole 406 and reached the rear side of the elongated hole 406 is then passed through the elongated hole 406 and is then Therefore, when the cover 407 is not present and the rear side is open, the electrical wiring DH1 protrudes toward the rear side, and the bottom wall 311 (see FIG. 13) of the rear case 310 is exposed during the assembly process. There is a risk of the device being caught between the light source and the main body plate portion 401. The area where the electrical wiring DH1 is arranged is partitioned by the lid portion 407, so that the electrical wiring DH1 is This can prevent the device from being pinched between the wall portion 311 and the main body plate portion 401.

[0238] This allows the first operating unit 400 to be turned on from the rear without checking the arrangement of the electrical wiring DH1. Since it can be assembled to the case 310, the efficiency of the assembly work can be improved.

[0239] The transmission unit 410 is a drive gear that is connected to the rotation shaft of the drive motor MT1 so as not to rotate relative to the drive motor MT1. a transmission gear 411 meshed with the drive gear 411 and rotatably supported on the shaft support portion 402; A gear 412 is meshed with the transmission gear 412 and rotatably supported on the shaft support portion 403a. A terminal gear 413 and an arm support part 404 whose posture can be changed in accordance with the rotation of the terminal gear 413. and an arm member 414 pivotally supported by the arm member 414.

[0240] The terminal gear 413 is annular and has an inner diameter slightly longer than the outer diameter of the annular protrusion 403b. A gap is provided between the annular protrusion 413a and the inner surface of the annular protrusion 413a. The stoppered portion 413b is provided in a fan-shaped protrusion similar to the stopper portion 403c, and the shaft support portion 40 A cylindrical protruding portion 413c protrudes in a cylindrical shape toward the front side at an eccentric position away from 3a, and a positive gear portion The detection target portion 41 extends radially outward from a flange formed on the surface in a fan shape. It is equipped with 3D.

[0241] The annular protrusion 413a is disposed so that the side surface on the shaft side faces the annular protrusion 403b. The annular protrusion 403b is sandwiched between the stoppered portion 413b. , and serves as a guide rail for guiding the rotation of the end gear 413.

[0242] The stoppered portion 413b is formed by general compression molding, and The opposite side is formed as a recessed portion. In other words, in this embodiment, the rotation angle of the terminal gear 413 is set to the stopper portion 4 The stopper 413b is limited by the circumferential dimensions of the stopper 413c and the stoppered portion 413b. The end gear 413 is rotationally displaced through a rotation angle of less than 360 degrees.

[0243] When designing the shapes of the stopper portion 403c and the portion to be stopped 413b, The rotation angle required for the end gear 413 is calculated, and the remaining angle (the rotation angle of the end gear 413 is 36 The angle between the stopper portion 403c and the stopped portion 41 is equal to the angle obtained by dividing the angle (the angle subtracted from 0 degrees) into two equal parts. 3b. Since it is possible to prevent either one of the portions 413b from becoming weak in strength, The useful life of the unit 400 can be extended.

[0244] The cylindrical protruding portion 413c is a metal rod made of brass, and is fitted and fixed to the terminal gear 413 made of resin. The tip of the protrusion is fitted with a ring-shaped collar C1 for reducing friction and a known E-ring E1. The arm member 414 is connected and supported by the cylindrical protruding portion 413c so as not to fall off. .

[0245] The detected portion 413d is formed to a thickness that allows it to pass through the detection gap of the detection sensor SC1. When the detection target portion 413d is detected by the detection sensor SC1, the voice lamp control device 1 The MPU 221 of 13 can determine that the first operating unit 400 is in the evacuation state. .

[0246] The arm member 414 includes an annular portion 414a rotatably supported by the arm support portion 404, and A plate-shaped portion 414b extends radially from the front side of the annular portion 414a in a plate-like shape. The plate-shaped portion 414b is arranged so as to move in parallel to the rear side thereof and is connected to the extended end of the plate-shaped portion 414b. and an elongated hole portion 414d formed in the intermediate plate portion 414c. The extended end of the intermediate plate portion 414c is arranged in a manner that it is moved in parallel to the rear side of the intermediate plate portion 414c. A tip plate portion 414e connected to the tip portion 414a and a cylindrical portion extending from the tip of the tip plate portion 414e to the front side and a cylindrical protruding portion 414f that protrudes in a shape of a cylinder.

[0247] The elongated hole 414d is formed to a size that allows the cylindrical projection 413c of the terminal gear 413 to be inserted therethrough. The driving force of the driving motor MT1 is transmitted via this elongated hole portion 414d.

[0248] The cylindrical extension 414f is a metal rod made of brass, and is fitted and fixed to the tip plate 414e made of resin. The cylindrical protrusion 414f has a ring-shaped collar C1 at the tip thereof for reducing friction. A known E-ring E1 is arranged, and the connecting plate portion 421 of the rear mounting plate 420 is prevented from falling off. The cylindrical projection 414f is connected to and supported by the cylindrical projection 414f.

[0249] 26 is a top view of the first operating unit 400. In FIG. 00 is shown in the second intermediate position, and for ease of understanding, the coil spring SP 1. A fixed pulley guided by a coil spring SP1, a driving motor MT1 and its driving motor The base plate to which MT1 is fastened and fixed is not shown.

[0250] 26, in this embodiment, the shape of the arm member 414 is The arm member 414 is designed to have a large area on the front side. By forming the part in a shape that is bent forward and backward, interference with other components can be functionally avoided. This will be explained below.

[0251] The plate-shaped portion 414b is positioned closer to the detection sensor SC1 to avoid interference with the detection sensor SC1. That is, the front and rear positions of the plate-shaped portion 414b are limited by the position of the detection sensor SC1. Since this is due to the relationship, the area not related to the detection sensor SC1 (detection sensor SC1 is used as the reference) The front and rear positions of the rotation axis (the opposite side of the arm support part 404) can be arbitrarily designed. This can be done.

[0252] In this embodiment, the opposite side of the rotation axis (arm support part 404) with respect to the detection sensor SC1 is The intermediate plate portion 414c is disposed on the rear side compared to the plate portion 414b. This allows the front-to-rear distance between the front plate surface of the terminal gear 413 and the arm member 414 to be narrowed. This allows the load to be transmitted to the arm member 414 at the base side of the cylindrical protruding portion 413c. Therefore, the cylindrical projection 413c is deformed when the load is transmitted, and the transmission efficiency of the load is reduced. You can avoid dropping it.

[0253] Furthermore, since it is due to the relationship with the terminal gear 413 at the front and rear positions of the intermediate plate portion 414c, A portion not related to the gear 413 (a rotation axis (arm support portion 404) with the terminal gear 413 as a reference) The opposite side of the ) can be designed to have any front-to-back position.

[0254] In this embodiment, the opposite side of the rotation axis (arm support part 404) with respect to the terminal gear 413 is The tip plate portion 414e is disposed on the rear side compared to the intermediate plate portion 414c. This makes it possible to secure a large space on the front side of the tip plate portion 414e. The rear plate 414e is located on the front side of the front end plate 414e and on the rear side of the lift plate 430. It is possible to easily ensure the front-to-rear dimensions of components such as the surface arrangement plate 420 and the synchronous operation unit 440. This can be done.

[0255] In this manner, in this embodiment, the shape of the arm member 414 is designed to avoid interference with other members. The purpose of this is to create a simple shape, but it also has other structural effects. By forming the arm member 414 in a stepwise bending manner, the load acting on the arm member 414 is distributed locally. (Stress concentration can be alleviated) This can improve the durability of the rubber member 414.

[0256] Furthermore, by configuring the minimum necessary gap to avoid interference with other components, A collective gap is formed on the opposite side of the arm member 414 with respect to other members that secure the gap. Therefore, you can use this gap to route electrical wiring (different from electrical wiring DH1). It is possible to make it crawl or to install additional display components (such as an electric board).

[0257] Also, according to FIG. 26, in this embodiment, the light emitting device LA1 is The electrical wiring DH1, which is arranged to reach the This prevents the gear teeth of the rotary gear 441 and the relative displacement member 442 from getting caught in the gear teeth. This will be explained below. 25 as appropriate.

[0258] The electrical wiring DH1 first passes through the long hole 406 from the main body plate portion 401 side and then connects to the auxiliary arm member 44 At this time, the electrical wiring DH1 is inserted into the through-hole 448a of the end side plate 448. By doing so, the wire passes through the inside of the extension portion 444c.

[0259] Inside the extension portion 444c, the electric wiring DH1 is prevented from falling off by the retaining portion 444c1. The electrical wiring DH1 is then guided to the base end side portion 444a while being secured to the base end side portion 444b. 4a to the rear side of the storage plate portion 425, and a frame portion protruding from the rear side of the storage plate portion 425. and the blocking plate 428, and then reaches the through-hole 427.

[0260] The frame portion protruding from the rear side of the receiving plate portion 425 is provided with a through-hole 425a at the center, and is formed in a substantially semicircular shape. The omitted portion 425b is provided so that the protrusion is omitted from the entire length of the electrical wiring DH 1 can be guided to the front side of the closure plate 428 at an angle of 180 degrees. When the auxiliary arm member 444 rotates, the electric wiring DH1 is bent near the insertion hole 425a. You can reduce the possibility.

[0261] The electrical wiring DH1 is passed through the through hole 427 to the front side, and the through hole 427 and the front and rear and guided to the front side of the lifting plate 430 through a cylindrical portion 433 formed at the overlapping position. The light emitting device LA1 is temporarily fastened to the fastening portion 451 of the light emitting device LA1 with a cable tie or the like. It is connected to a connector disposed on the board.

[0262] In this way, the electrical wiring DH1 is connected to the component (auxiliary arm member 444) for most of its route. and rear panel 420), so there is no need for electrical wiring like in conventional pachinko machines. In comparison with the case where the electrical wiring DH1 is exposed (exposed) for most of the route, This reduces the possibility of receiving a load due to a collision with a moving member.

[0263] In this embodiment, the guide path of the electric wiring DH1 and the relative displacement member that slides and displaces are 442. In other words, deformation such as bending or curvature may occur in the electric wiring DH1. is limited to the rotational displacement of the auxiliary arm member 444 (rotational displacement accompanied by sliding displacement of the rotation axis). can be.

[0264] As a result, the displacement speed of the lift plate 430 and the displacement speed of the relative displacement member 442 are Even when the electrical wiring DH1 is configured to have a large difference in shape, the deformation of the electrical wiring DH1 and the relative displacement member 442 By breaking the relationship with the displacement speed, the load applied to the electrical wiring DH1 increases. This can be avoided.

[0265] Referring back to Figures 22(a), 23, 24 and 25, the rear surface arrangement plate 420 is A plate-shaped connecting rod is connected to the cylindrical protruding portion 414f of the frame member 414 and fastened and fixed to the lifting plate 430. The connecting plate portion 421 is fastened and fixed to the lifting plate 430 disposed on the right side of the connecting plate portion 421. The receiving plate portion 425 to which the front side member of the metal rail 405 is fastened and fixed, and the receiving plate portion 4 25 and partially closes the rear side of the storage plate portion 425. 428 and equipped.

[0267] The support box portion 423 is formed long downward based on the insertion slot 422, The box portion 423 can be used to reinforce the rigidity of the storage plate portion 425. 3 is disposed opposite the support wall portion 426 on the left and right, and the support wall portion 426 is largely deflected to the left. If it deforms and comes into contact with the support box part 423, the deformation is suppressed by the rigidity of the support box part 423. It is possible.

[0268] The storage plate 425 is provided on the left edge of the main body plate in the form of a linear plate extending in the vertical direction and protruding toward the front side. and a through hole 427 formed on the front side of the closing plate 428.

[0269] In this embodiment, the electrical wiring DH1 is inserted into the through hole 427. That is, the through hole 427 is The inner diameter is formed so that a connector disposed at the end of the electrical wiring DH1 can be inserted therethrough.

[0270] The front surface of the closing plate 428 abuts against a frame portion that protrudes in a frame shape from the rear side of the accommodation plate portion 425. and is configured to separate an area between the receiving plate portion 425 and the closing plate 428. In this embodiment, only the inside of the frame of the receiving plate portion 425 (the front side of the closing plate 428) The electrical wiring DH1 is arranged in the metal layer. This can prevent the entry of the filter 405 side (left side of the frame).

A temporary fastening portion 425c is provided with a specially shaped hole 428a in the closure plate 428 so that the temporary fastening portion 425c can be seen from the rear. Formed through.

[0272] The irregularly shaped hole 428a has a horizontally elongated portion whose width is slightly longer than the width of the temporary fastening portion 425c, and a binding portion A vertically elongated section that intersects with a horizontally elongated section to secure an area through which the band can pass. The shaped portion is formed.

[0273] The temporary fastening portion 425c serves as a fastening portion for the cable tie. By temporarily fastening H1, the arrangement of the electrical wiring DH1 can be stabilized. By tightening the cable tie, the auxiliary arm member 444 is guided toward the closure plate 428. Since the path of the electric wiring DH1 can be moved closer to the closing plate 428 side, the insertion of the receiving plate portion 425 can be easily performed. A gap is provided between the edge of the semicircular plate part centered on the through hole 425a and the electric wiring DH1. 25 and 26, the electric wiring DH1 can be This prevents friction with the edges of the 5, extending the service life of the electrical wiring DH1. It can be extended.

[0274] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the electric wiring DH1 (see FIG. 26) guided between the omitted portions 425b The cable tie that temporarily fastens the cover (428) can be exposed from the irregular hole 428a of the closing plate 428. Therefore, the cable tie can be replaced or attached without removing the blocking plate 428. Cut.

[0275] As a result, the temporary fastening position of the electrical wiring DH1 is set to the position between the receiving plate portion 425 and the closing plate 428. The position of the electrical wiring DH1 relative to the components of the first operating unit 400 is fixed. the point where the electric wiring DH1 is connected to the light emitting device LA1 (i.e., the point where the electric wiring DH1 is connected to the light emitting device LA1) When the electric wiring DH1 is displaced relative to the lift plate 430, the electric wiring DH1 moves along the path 1. (where it overlaps with the path to the base end side portion 444a of the auxiliary arm member 444, which is the portion While temporarily fastening the wiring DH1, the cable tie can be replaced without removing the blocking plate 428. Therefore, the service life of the electric wiring DH1 can be improved, and the electric This improves the ease of maintenance of the binding bands associated with the air wiring DH1.

[0276] In this embodiment, the electrical wiring DH1 is arranged on the front side of the blocking plate 428 along the shape of the blocking plate 428. Since the blocking plate 428 is L-shaped when viewed from the rear, the electrical wiring DH1 is curved along a first plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction on the front side of the closure plate 428, The curved portion is curved along a second plane (a plane perpendicular to the first plane) perpendicular to the left-right direction near the hole 427. As a result, the electric wiring DH1 is held by the closing plate 428 and the receiving plate 425. The holding force can be improved, and the position of the electrical wiring DH1 can be stabilized.

[0277] The lifting plate 430 is a fastening portion that is composed of a plurality of parts for fastening and fixing the rear arrangement plate 420. 431, and a support portion 432 consisting of a plurality of portions related to supporting the synchronous operation unit 440. and a cylindrical portion 433 formed so that the electrical wiring DH1 can be inserted therethrough, and a support plate portion 450 fastened and fixed thereto. and a fastening portion 434 made up of a plurality of parts related to the above, and a main plate A plurality of counter parts 435 formed in the part, and a decorative part having a pattern of approximately symmetrical shape on the front surface of the plate. 436 and equipped.

[0278] The fastening portion 431 is at least disposed at the lower end of the lifting plate 430 and is connected to a relative displacement member 442 ( A pair of gourd-shaped protrusions 431a are provided to support the vertical displacement of the slide rack. The protrusion 431a is a part that supports the relative displacement member 442, and also has a female screw at its tip. The receiving plate 425 is formed in a groove shape, and a fastening screw for fastening and fixing the receiving plate 425 to the lifting plate 430 is screwed in. That is, the part related to fastening and fixing of the rear arrangement plate 420 and the support of the synchronous operation unit 440 are It is also used for the part related to holding.

[0279] The cylindrical portion 433 extends to the rear side through a gap between the components of the synchronous operation unit 440. The rear end of the plate abuts against the front surface of the plate accommodating portion 425, and in this abutting state, the plate abuts against the through hole 427. The electric wiring DH is continuously connected to the inside of the cylindrical portion 433 through this continuously connected portion. 1 is inserted front to back.

[0280] The countermeasure portion 435 may be, for example, a connecting portion between the fixed transmission plate 490 and the relative displacement member 442. (In this embodiment, the raised fastening parts are arranged vertically.) The cutout portion 435a is cut upward from the lower edge of the plate portion, and the auxiliary arm member 444 The arc-shaped gear portion 444b is provided with a recess in a wall formed in a wall shape to protect the upper part of the shaft. An example of such a recess is recess 435b formed to avoid interference with shaped gear portion 444b.

[0281] The decorative portion 436 is disposed on the rear side of the feather-shaped member 460, and moves in accordance with the displacement of the feather-shaped member 460. The structure is such that a series of patterns can be visually recognized in cooperation with the shaped member 460. will be discussed later.

[0282] The synchronous operation unit 440 includes a pair of rotating gears 441 that mesh with each other and a rotating gear 442. 41 and a relative displacement member 442 which is formed so as to be displaceable in the up and down direction. A pair of elongated holes 443 are formed in the positioning member 442, and the other of the rotary gear 441 is engaged with the pair of elongated holes 443. and an auxiliary arm member 444 having rotating gear teeth, and a rotating tip of the auxiliary arm member 444 having a rear end. and an end side plate 448 that is fastened and fixed from the face side.

[0283] The gourd-shaped protrusion 431a is inserted into the long hole 443. 3 is arranged substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the relative displacement member 442, the posture of the relative displacement member 442 is stabilized. It is possible.

[0284] In addition, compared to when the gourd-shaped protrusion 431a is formed in an oval shape, the protrusion 431a is in contact with the long hole 443. Since the area of ​​the gourd-shaped protrusion 431a and the relative displacement member 442 can be reduced, This reduces the frictional resistance that occurs between the

[0285] The auxiliary arm member 444 is a ring-shaped base member pivotally supported by the large-diameter protrusion 432a of the support portion 432. Gear teeth are formed concentrically with the ring-shaped end side portion 444a and the base end side portion 444a. The arc gear portion 444b and the extension portion 444a extend radially from the base end portion 444a. 44c, and a part formed in a substantially semi-cylindrical shape disposed at the extended tip of the extended part 444c. A cylindrical member configured so that an opening on the inside of the cylinder is continuously connected to the opening of the extension portion 444c. It is equipped with 444d.

[0286] The base end side portion 444a is inserted into the large diameter protrusion 432a. The receiving hole 425a is formed at the tip of the receiving hole 425a, through which a fastening screw is inserted. The base end side portion 444a is restricted from moving toward the rear side by the container plate portion 425. The housing plate 425 is pivotally supported so as to face each other from the front and rear and cannot fall off.

[0287] The extension portion 444c is formed in a box shape with an open rear side, and has a short side at the rear side. The electrical wiring DH1 is extended from one side to the other side, and the short-side dimension (width dimension) of the electrical wiring DH1 is The retaining portion 444c1 is formed with a gap slightly longer than the length of the retaining portion 444c. The electric wiring DH1 is passed between the receiving portion 444c1 and the other side of the extension portion 444c in the short direction. This serves to prevent the electrical wiring DH1 disposed inside the portion 444c from falling off later.

[0288] The form of the retaining portion 444c1 is not limited to this. The gap between 44c and the retaining portion 444c1 is the dimension (width) of the electrical wiring DH1 in the short direction. In this case, the extension portion 444c and the retaining portion 444c1 may be configured to be shorter than the length 444c. When the electric wiring DH1 is assembled (inserted) into the gap between the Although it is necessary to widen the gap by moving the wires, this will improve the effectiveness of preventing the electrical wiring DH1 from falling off after assembly. It is possible.

[0289] As long as the electrical wiring DH1 is disposed inside the extension portion 444c, the first operating unit The expansion and contraction of the electrical wiring DH1 during the lifting and lowering displacement of 400 can be minimized. This will be described later with reference to FIGS.

[0290] The cylindrical member 444d is designed so that its outer diameter is slightly shorter than the short-side dimension of the long hole portion 406. When the wire is inserted into the long hole 406, the wire extends along the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) of the long hole 406. The auxiliary arm member 444 can be slid and rotated. do.

[0291] The end side plate 448 is provided with a through hole 448a through which the electrical wiring DH1 can be inserted. The electrical wiring DH1 inserted through the through-hole 448a is connected to the cylindrical portion 406 44d, and then inside the extension portion 444c, and is guided to the rear side of the base end portion 444a. and enters between the closure plate 428 and the receiving plate portion 425. Then, the through-hole 427 and the cylindrical portion You will be guided to the front via 433.

[0292] In this way, since the electric wiring DH1 is passed through the through hole 448a, the inner shape of the through hole 448a is In other words, the through-hole 448 is formed to be larger than the outer shape of the connector that is to be connected to the end of the through-hole 448. a is formed to a size that allows the connector to be inserted therethrough.

[0293] The through-hole 448a is formed not only in the center of the end side plate 448 but also in an eccentric region on the outer periphery. In particular, a large opening is formed on the extension portion 444c side. Therefore, regardless of the posture of the auxiliary arm member 444, the electric wiring DH1 is moved toward the extension portion 444c. Therefore, the auxiliary wire DH1 can be moved in accordance with the change in the posture of the auxiliary arm member 444. It is possible to prevent the position of the arm member 444 from changing significantly (moving wildly).

[0294] In addition, the through-hole 448a is formed on the outer diameter side of the end side plate 448, and is formed on the extension portion 444c side. The first operating unit 400 is extended counterclockwise as viewed from the rear. Since the opening range of the through-hole 448a in the retracted state can be expanded to the right, the electrical wiring The width of the lateral displacement required for the line DH1 can be reduced.

[0295] In this case, when the lift plate 430 moves up and down, the end side plate 448 moves left and right. Even in this configuration, the direction of the through-hole 448a can be changed, so that the end side plate 448 can be moved in the left-right direction. Therefore, the displacement of the end side plate 448 can be reduced. This allows the required displacement width of the electrical wiring DH1 to be shortened, The excess length of the wiring that is set in consideration of the displacement can be shortened, and the end side plate 44 8 to the electrical wiring DH1 can be reduced.

[0296] A fixed transmission plate 490 is fastened and fixed to the front side of the relative displacement member 442. 30 and the relative displacement member 442 are fastened and fixed to the lift plate 430. The support plate portion 450 and the fixed transmission plate 490 fastened and fixed to the relative displacement member 442 are displaced relative to each other. do.

[0297] The support plate portion 450 is formed in a disk shape and has a light emitting substrate disposed on the rear side thereof. 1 is a plate-like member fastened and fixed to the front side, and a fastening screw inserted into the lift plate 430 is screwed The plurality of fastening parts 451 are fitted into the cylindrical part 461 of the feather-shaped member 460, and the lift plate 43 A pair of left and right fastening shaft support portions 452 into which fastening screws inserted through the fastening shaft support 452 are screwed, A pair of through holes 453 are drilled on the left and right sides of the lower side of the dual-purpose portion 452, and the light-emitting performance device LA1 and a support portion 454 that hooks and supports the upper protruding piece LA1b.

[0298] The light emitting device LA1 has a lower portion on which a fastening screw is inserted into the support plate portion 450. The upper part of the support 454 is provided with a pair of fastening portions LA1a. In this way, the lower part of the light emitting device LA1 is supported by fastening and fixing, The upper part is supported by an engagement, ensuring sufficient support strength while attaching to the upper back side of the lighting board. Shadows of the fastening screws can be avoided.

[0299] In front of the light emitting device LA1, a three-dimensional or two-dimensional device is provided that is visible to the player. This decorative pattern is visible without being hidden by the feather-shaped member 460 or the auxiliary member 470. In a situation where the wing-shaped member 460 and the auxiliary member 470 are used, the wing-shaped member 460 and the auxiliary member 470 are visually recognized as an integrated decoration. This is configured to be able to do so (see FIG. 34).

[0300] In this embodiment, the feather-shaped member 460 and the auxiliary member 470 have a shell shape (for example, a scallop). The shape of the light-emitting device LA1 placed between them is modeled after a pearl. The light-emitting performance member LA1 is formed in a substantially circular shape when viewed from the front, so that the light-emitting performance member LA1 and the feather-shaped member LA2 are visible. 460 and the auxiliary member 470 are visually recognized as a single unit, and thus the It is possible to create an appearance that evokes the concept of "pearl."

[0301] The feather-shaped member 460 is made up of a plurality of members supported by the fastening shaft support portion 452. A cylindrical portion 461 rotatably supported by the shaft support portion 452, and a shaft support portion 452a and a shaft support portion 452b are provided. The arc-shaped gear 462 is formed in an arc shape and meshes with each other, and the arc-shaped gear 462 extends from the cylindrical portion 461. An extension portion 463 extending in a plate shape to the opposite side of 462, and a A forming portion 464L configured to be able to strongly reflect light by applying plating to the front surface of the plate. , 464R, and the front of the arc-shaped gear 462 along an arc with a smaller diameter than the arc-shaped gear 462 a downstream gear 465 formed on the side of the arc-shaped gear 462, and a flange-shaped gear 466 formed on the rear side of the arc-shaped gear 462. The flange portion 466 extends in the outer direction from an extension end portion thereof to a back portion thereof. It has a cylindrical protruding portion 467 that protrudes in a cylindrical shape toward the surface side.

[0302] The arc-shaped gear 462 is formed in an arc having the same diameter and meshes with the pair of cylindrical portions 461 at the intermediate position. That is, the gear teeth of the arc-shaped gear 462 are formed as a plurality of (left and right) gears that rotate by meshing with each other. ) the rotation angles of the vane-like members 460 are the same (symmetrical).

[0303] The extension portion 463 includes a recessed portion 463a formed only on the right side. 63a is provided to avoid interference with the electrical wiring that passes through the cylindrical portion 433 and is guided to the front side of the lift plate 430. This is a shaped portion that makes it easier to attach, and details will be described later.

[0304] The forming portions 464L and 464R are united in the extended state of the first operating unit 400, The ornament is composed of a series of approximately semicircular (semi-elliptical) ornaments (see Figure 17). In the retreated state of the operation unit 400, it is arranged separately on the left and right, and its size is is assumed to be asymmetric (see Figure 16).

[0305] In detail, the lower part is formed symmetrically, while the upper part, which comes into contact when combined, has a shape The left forming portion 464L protrudes in the rotation direction compared to the right forming portion 464R.

[0306] The shapes of the upper ends of the feather-shaped members 464L and 464R, which are arranged opposite each other, are as follows: The difference is the distance from the cylindrical portion 461. That is, the side closer to the cylindrical portion 461 (the side closer to the rotation axis, the inner diameter When the wing-shaped members 464L and 464R are closest to each other, they can overlap each other in a front view. The interference portions 464L and 464R are arranged so as to be offset in the direction of the rotation axis of the vane-shaped members 464L and 464R. 64a is provided.

[0307] In this embodiment, the side closer to the cylindrical portion 461 is where the feather-shaped members 464L and 464R are closest to each other. This corresponds to the portion where the decorative pattern is formed, which is visually recognized as a continuous pattern when the object is in the visible state. 464a, when the feather-shaped members 464L, 464R are closest to each other, This prevents the occurrence of cuts on the contact surface S1 of 464R, making it possible to apply decorative patterns. This allows the player to see it without feeling uncomfortable.

[0310] In this way, the shapes of the feather-like members 464L and 464R are changed depending on the distance from the cylindrical portion 461. By doing so, a series of decorative patterns are formed when the feather-like members 464L and 464R are closest to each other. The player can visually recognize the feather-shaped members 464L and 464R without feeling uncomfortable. The load that may occur on the vane-like members 464L and 464R when approaching can be minimized.

[0311] The flange portion 466 serves to prevent the arc-shaped gear 462 from shifting in the front-rear direction and The arc-shaped gear 462 and the fixed transmission plate 490 are also used as partitions. The meshing state of the arc-shaped gear 462 is optimized, and the arc-shaped gear 462 is fixed to the fixed transmission plate 490. This can prevent excessive resistance from occurring due to contact and getting caught.

[0319] Next, the operation of the first operation unit 400 will be described. 9 and 30 are rear views of the first operating unit 400. The state in which each component is displaced as the motor MT1 rotates is illustrated. In FIG. 28, the retreated state of one operation unit 400 is the vertical position of the wall schematic line UL (see FIG. 16). The first operating unit 4 has the lift plate 430 lowered from the retracted state by a distance slightly longer than the distance. 29, the first intermediate state of 00 is a state in which the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary arm member 444 faces the left-right direction. The second intermediate state of the first operating unit 400 is shown in FIG. The states are each illustrated.

[0320] As shown in FIG. 27, when the first operating unit 400 is in the retreated state, the detected portion 413d is The position of the terminal gear 413 is determined by the detection gap of the output sensor SC1. In this embodiment, the state detected by the detection sensor SC1 is only the retracted state, and other states The first intermediate state, the second intermediate state, and the extended state are preset displacements from the retracted state. This is the state after the displacement, and is not detected by the detection sensor SC1.

[0321] As shown in FIG. 27, when the first operating unit 400 is in the retreated state, the rotation of the end gear 413 The straight line connecting the shaft and the cylindrical projection 413c and the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 414d of the arm member 414 are (the radial direction of the rotation of the arm member 414) is perpendicular to the The load applied to the end gear 413 occurs along a linear direction passing through the rotation axis of the end gear 413. Therefore, even when the power of the drive motor MT1 is cut off, the arm member 414 This allows the user to maintain a certain posture (utilizing the dead point).

[0322] The tip plate portion 414e of the arm member 414 is a terminal end portion having a rotation axis of the arm member 414 as a center. The gear 413 is disposed outside the circular arc MXS that circumscribes the disk portion of the gear 413. During the rotational displacement of 414, the tip plate portion 414e and the terminal gear 413 are prevented from interfering with each other. It is possible.

[0323] The auxiliary arm member 444 functions to prevent the right side of the lift plate 430 from descending. Although the auxiliary arm member 444 is supported so as to be slidable in the long hole portion 406, It is not a non-resistive one, but a resistance generated between the cylindrical portion 444d (see FIG. 25) and the long hole portion 406. The contact friction causes a movement resistance. The sides can be supported by auxiliary arm members 444 .

[0324] As shown in FIG. 28, the arm member 414 is rotated and displaced, and the lift plate 430 is displaced downward. As a result, the auxiliary arm member 444 is displaced, and the rotary gear 441 meshing with the auxiliary arm member 444 rotates. The relative displacement member 442 is displaced downward by an amount of displacement that exceeds the amount of displacement of the lift plate 430 .

[0325] Although it has a complicated shape, the drive from the auxiliary arm member 444 to the relative displacement member 442 Since the force is transmitted by gear meshing, the displacement of the relative displacement member 442 relative to the lift plate 430 The position and the rotation angle of the auxiliary arm member 444 correspond one-to-one.

[0326] As shown in FIG. 28, the arm member 414, the auxiliary arm member 444, the lift plate 446, and the like are connected to each other. 430 and relative displacement member 442 are displaced, while the feather-shaped member 460 is in the retracted state. Maintain the same posture as when you

[0327] That is, according to this embodiment, when the first operating unit 400 is in the retreated state, the lift plate 430 is lowered. There is a time lag between the timing at which the blade member 460 starts to descend and the timing at which the blade member 460 starts to rotate. The cause of this time lag will be explained later.

[0328] In this embodiment, the lift plate 430 is moved to the wall before the blade member 460 starts to rotate. Since the blade member 460 is lowered by the vertical dimension of the schematic line UL (see FIG. 16), the blade member 460 rotates. This makes it easier to prevent the occurrence of a problem in which the rear case 310 hits the upper wall portion when it is displaced. can.

[0329] In other words, after the wall has descended by the vertical dimension of the schematic wall line UL, the blade-shaped member 460 rotates. The displacement is such that the upper wall of the rear case 310 is formed so that there is no difference in height between the left and right sides. When the lifting plate 430 is lowered, the vane-shaped member 460 rotates at the same time (a conventional displacement Therefore, the operating conditions of the conventional displacement mode (gear ratio, displacement amount, etc.) are the same as those of the conventional displacement mode. The operation of the first operation unit 400 of this embodiment can be realized by utilizing the parameters. This makes it possible to reduce the cost required for design.

[0330] As shown in FIG. 27, the arm member 4, which is hidden behind the lift plate 430 in the retracted state, 28, as the lift plate 430 descends, the lift plate 430 moves upward. It displaces in a protruding manner.

[0331] In contrast, in this embodiment, the vane-shaped member 460 is disposed on the lifting plate 416 so as to hide the arm member 414. 29. That is, the vane-shaped member 460 is configured to be displaceable relative to the surface side. a presentation means for making a player visually recognize the decorative pattern formed on the surface of the ball to perform a presentation that enhances the game; The shielding not only serves as a shield but also serves as a shield to hide the arm member 414 for driving transmission together with the lifting plate 430. It also functions as a tool.

[0332] In particular, in this embodiment, the arm member 414 having the function of transmitting driving force is disposed on the side where the arm member 414 is disposed. The forming portion 464L of the feather-shaped member 460 is larger than the forming portion 464R of the feather-shaped member 460 on the opposite side. Since the arm member 414 is made large, it can be easily hidden from the player's view. can be done.

[0333] Similarly, the forming portion 464R is configured to hide the auxiliary arm member 444. In this embodiment, due to the configuration, the arm member 4 14 extends above the lift plate 430, while the auxiliary arm member 444 remains The arm member 414 is hidden behind the lift plate 430. After being extended, the auxiliary arm member 444 is configured to extend above the lift plate 430. (See Figure 30).

[0334] Therefore, the shape is smaller than the forming portion 464L (the upper part of the lift plate 430 at the same time). In the case where the forming portion 464R (the amount of overhang to the side of the forming portion 464R is smaller than that of the forming portion 464L) is used, Even if the auxiliary arm member 444 is not moved, it is possible to hide the auxiliary arm member 444 from the player's view without any problems.

[0335] As shown in FIG. 29, the cylindrical protruding portion 414f is positioned at the leftmost position from the rotation axis of the arm member 414. At a position slightly past the separated state, the auxiliary arm member 444 is in a position where the longitudinal direction faces the left and right directions. When the cylindrical projection 414f is at the farthest position to the left from the rotation axis of the arm member 414, The load applied to the lift plate 430 from the arm member 414 in the right direction tends to increase. At the same time, the auxiliary arm member 444 applies a load to the lift plate 430 in the left direction. If this is applied, the displacement resistance of the lift plate 430 will increase.

[0336] In contrast, in this embodiment, the cylindrical protruding portion 414f is located to the left of the rotation axis of the arm member 414. The auxiliary arm member 444 is tilted at a position slightly past the furthest position toward the tubular portion 44 4d (see FIG. 25) is disposed at the right end of the long hole portion 406, By configuring the lifting plate 430 so that a load can be applied to the left, the lifting plate 430 can be lifted While suppressing the displacement resistance of the lifting plate 430, the lifting plate 430 is moved by the load in the left-right direction. This can prevent the left-right displacement of the frame 30.

[0337] In the state shown in FIG. 29, the cylindrical projection 413c of the end gear 413 is located outside the arc MXS. However, the tip plate portion 414e has already reached below the cylindrical protruding portion 413c. Therefore, interference between the tip plate portion 414e and the terminal gear 413 can be avoided.

[0338] That is, the arc MXS is merely defined as a guide position, and the end gear 41 The design of the end gear 413 and the arm member 414 is such that the end gear 413 and the arm member 414 are actually interlocked. This is done by dynamically examining whether interference will occur if the

[0339] As shown in FIG. 30, when the first operating unit 400 is in the extended state, the receiving end gear 413 The position where the topper portion 413b abuts against the stopper portion 403c of the main body plate portion 401 is the end point. The end gear 413 rotates. 3c so that the end gear 413 stops at a position slightly before the position where it abuts on the drive motor M T1 is driven. As a result, the stopped portion 413b and the stopper portion 40 3c to prevent premature damage while preventing the end gear 413 from over-rotating. It can be prevented.

[0340] As shown in FIG. 30, when the first operating unit 400 is in the extended state, the rotation of the terminal gear 413 The straight line connecting the shaft and the cylindrical projection 413c and the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 414d of the arm member 414 are (the radial direction of the rotation of the arm member 414) is perpendicular to the The load applied to the end gear 413 occurs along a linear direction passing through the rotation axis of the end gear 413. Therefore, even when the power of the drive motor MT1 is cut off, the arm member 414 This allows the user to maintain a certain posture (utilizing the dead point).

[0341] The posture is maintained in both directions along the rotation direction of the arm member 414. The first operating unit 400 is not limited to a displacement in the direction of the arrow, but is displaced upward from the extended state to the retracted state. This can also be prevented.

[0342] As a result, after reaching the extended state, the lifting plate 430 connected to the arm member 414 Since it is possible to prevent rebound and upward displacement, it is possible to prevent the lifting and lowering of the drive force. The downstream members of the plate 430 (synchronous operation unit 440, vane-shaped member 460, auxiliary member 470, etc.) Therefore, it is possible to easily maintain the contact state of the feather-shaped members 460. This can be done.

[0343] The auxiliary arm member 444 functions to prevent the right side of the lift plate 430 from rising. Although the auxiliary arm member 444 is supported so as to be slidable in the long hole portion 406, It is not a non-resistive one, but a resistance generated between the cylindrical portion 444d (see FIG. 25) and the long hole portion 406. The contact friction causes a movement resistance. The sides can be supported by auxiliary arm members 444 .

[0344] In addition, the auxiliary arm member 444 suspends and supports the lift plate 430. The driving force from the drive motor MT1 and the biasing force from the coil spring SP1 are applied to one side ( The left side of the metal rail 405 is the only part that moves up and down. This can avoid instability.

[0345] As described above, as long as the electrical wiring DH1 is disposed inside the extension portion 444c, In this case, the extension and contraction of the electric wiring DH1 due to the up and down displacement of the lift plate 430 of the first operating unit 400 This section explains how the above can be minimized.

[0346] When the path of the electrical wiring DH1 is traced from the light emitting device LA1 side, the auxiliary arm member 444 The path is fixed to the lifting plate 430 until it reaches the auxiliary arm member 444. On the other hand, the extension portion 444c in which the electric wiring DH1 is disposed is Since the shape of the descending plate 430 is fixed even while it is displacing up and down, the electrical wiring DH1 undergoes expansion and contraction displacement. This can reduce the possibility of this happening.

[0347] At the position where the electrical wiring DH1 is protruded from the through-hole 448a to the rear side, the electrical wiring DH1 is connected to the end side plate 44 In this way, the electric wiring DH1 Since the displacement that may cause expansion and contraction is limited to that caused by the displacement of the end side plate 448, In this embodiment, the displacement of the end side plate 448 in the left-right direction is measured, and the necessary excess length is calculated. The excess length is used to secure the electrical wiring DH1 to the end side plate 448. After adding the wire DH1 (while the electrical wiring DH1 is loose), connect the electrical wiring DH1 to the main board. It is fixed at 401.

[0348] In other words, there is a possibility that the electrical wiring DH1 may expand or contract as the lift plate 430 moves up and down. The location of the deformation can be limited to the vicinity of the end side plate 448. can be reduced to half or less of the vertical displacement of the lift plate 430.

[0349] Furthermore, as described above, the shape of the through-hole 448a of the end side plate 448 Since the displacement width of the electric wiring DH1 can be reduced compared to the displacement width of the electric wiring D The excess length of H1 can be shortened.

[0350] 31, 32, 33, and 34 are front views of the first operating unit 400. 1 to 34 show how each component is displaced as the drive motor MT1 rotates. 31, the first operating unit 400 is in the retreated state, and in FIG. In FIG. 33, the first intermediate state of the first operation unit 400 is In FIG. 34, the extended states of the first operating units 400 are illustrated.

[0351] As shown in Figure 31, the lower edge of the feather-shaped member 460 is formed symmetrically. In the retreat state of the one operation unit 400, the third pattern display device 81 is in the field of view. The first operating unit 400 is visually recognized by the player as a movable member having a symmetrical shape. can be done.

[0352] As shown in FIG. 32, when the lift plate 430 is slightly displaced downward, the posture of the feather-shaped member 460 Therefore, even in the state shown in FIG. The first operating unit 400, which comes into the player's field of vision, is a movable member with a left-right symmetrical shape. can be made visible to the user.

[0353] In the first intermediate state shown in FIG. 32, the blade-shaped members 460 are While the posture does not change, the vane-shaped member 460 and the auxiliary member 470 move downward as the lifting plate 430 moves downward. The decorative portion 493 is displaced downward by an amount exceeding the amount of downward displacement.

[0354] Therefore, when the first operating unit 400 is changed from the retreated state to the first intermediate state, For a player who sees the descending board 430, if only the up-and-down displacement of the individual ascending and descending board 430 is observed, First, the decorative part 493, which is displaced by a vertical displacement amount different from that of the lifting plate 430, is displaced vertically. Since the state of positioning can be visually confirmed, the dramatic effect can be improved.

[0355] As shown in FIG. 33, in the second intermediate state, the displacement of the lift plate 430 is smaller than that in the first intermediate state. The difference between the amount of displacement of the decorative portion 493 and the amount of displacement of the feather-shaped member 460 and the auxiliary member 470 increases. Posture changes.

[0356] In Figure 34, the vane members 460 are shown in opposing contact with each other. 0 is a decoration that appears as a single, roughly semicircular (semi-elliptical) shape, created by combining a pair of left and right components. The contact surface S1 is visually recognized as a component, and the metal rail 405 is disposed on the contact surface S1. The position is shifted to the right from the center position.

[0357] In this embodiment, the upper edge side of the forming portion 464L is previously compared with the upper edge side of the forming portion 464R. By configuring the forming portion 464R side extra, the contact surface S1 in the protruding state is located at the center of the left and right. It is configured to deviate from the

[0358] When the first operating unit 400 is in the retreated state, the upper edge of the forming portions 464L and...
