[0015]

According to the present invention, when the light source emits light, the light enters the inner shaft portion from the rear end of the inner shaft of the light guide shaft, propagates in the axial direction, and propagates in the inner shaft portion. The light is emitted to the light emitting portion of the movable ornament through the front surface of the light emitting device, and the light emitting portion is caused to emit light. Since the inner shaft part uses the property of propagating light in the direction along the axial direction,
The amount of light at the tip of the inner shaft portion is almost the same as the amount of light at the rear end, and moreover, the amount of light emitted by the light source when the light source is close to the rear end of the inner shaft portion is also substantially equal. Further, since the light guide shaft is interposed when irradiating the light emitting portion of the movable ornament with the light of the light source, even if the light emitting level of the light source is low, the light is concentratedly emitted straight from the light emitting portion. Therefore, the power consumption of the light source can be reduced. Further, since the distance between the light source and the light emitting portion can be increased in proportion to the entire length of the light guide shaft, it becomes possible to arrange the light source on the back side of the game board where the hand of the operator can easily reach. It becomes possible to facilitate the replacement work.

Since the number of sections is set equal to the number of sections, the light from each light source propagates in the circumferentially divided areas in the corresponding inner shaft section in the direction along the axial direction to the light emitting section of the movable ornament. Although it will be irradiated, it is possible to see the phenomenon in which the light from each light source is mixed and irradiated to the light emitting part, especially at the tip of the inner shaft part, which provides light of various emission colors to the light emitting part. Therefore, the light emission of the light emitting unit becomes more versatile.

According to the fourth aspect of the invention, since the movable portion for rotating the movable ornaments in opposite directions is provided on the back surface of the fixed base on the light source side, the installation space for the movable ornaments can be freely set. On the other hand, it becomes possible to forcibly rotate the movable ornaments in mutually opposite directions by driving the movable portion. Further, it becomes possible to rotate the movable ornaments in opposite directions according to the game situation while causing the light emitting portion of the movable ornament to emit light by the light emission of the light source.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the movable portion for rotating the movable ornament in one direction is provided on the back surface of the fixed base on the light source side, the movable space is movable while freely setting the installation space. It is possible to forcibly rotate the ornament in one direction by driving the movable portion. In addition, it becomes possible to rotate the movable ornament in one direction according to the situation of the game while causing the light emitting portion of the movable ornament to emit light by the light source.

According to the sixth aspect of the invention, the outer shaft portion is arranged in a pair of molding dies, and the outer shaft portion is used as an insert part so that the liquid translucent material from the outside of the molding die is used as the outer shaft portion. When the transparent material is solidified after being injected into the inside, the inner shaft portion is integrally assembled with the outer shaft portion to be formed. Since the light-transmitting material is liquid, the light-transmitting material is closely adhered to and integrated with the inner wall of the outer shaft portion during molding to form the inner shaft portion. Therefore, the inner shaft portion and the outer shaft portion are joined together. There is no extra space on the surface to absorb light, and the light transmission is very good.

Is provided with a fixing plate 79 having a shape to be described in detail later, and the fixing plate 79 is provided with a cylindrical protruding portion 81 that protrudes to the back side thereof, that is, the back side of the game plate 7. A bearing hole portion 83 is formed in the protruding portion 81 by utilizing the inner peripheral surface thereof. Further, the tip end (back end on the back side) side of the bearing hole portion 83 is separated from the bearing hole portion 83 by a step 85. Also, a light source accommodation hole 89 is formed which forms a light source accommodation chamber 87 having a large radius. A predetermined number of screw holes 91 for mounting an LED lamp 125, which will be described later, are formed at predetermined positions on the tip surface of the light source accommodation hole 89.

3 is inserted, and a ring 94 such as an E ring or a C ring is attached to the tip (tip toward the game board side) side of the light guide shaft 93. It is configured so that it cannot be pulled out from the bearing hole portion 83 by being engaged with the step 85 through.

The light guide shaft 93 has a pipe-shaped outer shaft portion 95 having a light-shielding property and a rod-shaped light-transmitting inner shaft portion 9 which is integrated inside the outer shaft portion 95.
7 and 7. The front end of the outer shaft portion 95 (the front face of the lamp windmill 55) is attached to the lamp windmill 55.
Of the reflecting surface 9 whose diameter gradually increases toward the light emitting portion 113 of
Diffusion space portion 101 is formed by forming 9. The reflecting surface 99 is provided with a metal foil or a metal piece such as aluminum or stainless steel, or is plated to enhance the light reflectance. The rear end of the inner shaft portion 97 is slightly convex so that the light emitted from the LED lamp 125, which will be described later, can be condensed, and the front end is formed in a hemispherical shape, for example, to be described later. 125
It is possible to diffuse the emitted light of.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view for explaining a part of the method of manufacturing the light guide shaft 93. When manufacturing the light guide shaft 93, first, the outer shaft portion 95 is configured by, for example, lathe processing or molding processing, and is set in the molding space of the molding die 201. Next, the other molding die 203 is matched with the molding die 201 while inserting the protruding portion of the outer shaft portion 95 set in the molding die 201 into the molding space 205 of the molding die 203. At this time, the molding die 20
The one injection port 207a and the injection port 207b of the molding die 203 are combined to form one injection port 207. Then
Injection port 207 between the molds 201 and 203 that have been matched
For example, a liquid glass fiber material or a transparent resin as a translucent material is injected into the inside. Then, the core 209 is inserted at the base of the injection port 207, that is, at the boundary between the injection port 207 and the portion where the inner shaft portion 97 is molded, and the two are separated. When the translucent material is solidified, the inner shaft portion 97 is formed inside the outer shaft portion 95 in the molding dies 201 and 203. Thus, after the translucent material is solidified, the molding die 201,
03 is separated, and the outer shaft portion 95 is removed from one of the molding dies 201 and 203 to obtain the light guide shaft 93. A step is formed on a part of the inner circumference of the outer shaft portion 95, and functions as a stopper for the inner shaft portion 97 from coming off.

In the case of this manufacturing method, since the liquid translucent material is brought into close contact with and integrated with the inner wall of the outer shaft portion 95 at the time of molding to form the inner shaft portion 97, the inner shaft portion 97 and the outer shaft portion 95 are formed. There is no extra space for absorbing light on the joint surface with and, so that the inner shaft portion 97 has very good light transmittance.

FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional view showing a modified example in which the structure of the light guide shaft 93 is partially modified. The configuration of this light guide shaft 93A differs from the configuration of the above light guide shaft 93 in that no step is formed inside the outer shaft portion 95a, and a small hole 95b is formed in a part of the side surface of the outer shaft portion 95a. That is, the liquid translucent material is filled inside through the small holes 95b during the insert molding as described above. In the case of this modification, the translucent material filled in the small holes 95b and solidified has a function of preventing the inner shaft portion 97a from coming off. After insert molding, the small hole 95
For example, a silver colored paint or the like may be applied to the outlet of b to block light.

In the case of this modification, the outer shaft portion 95a
Since no step is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the, there is no part that hinders the fluidity of the transparent material, and therefore the fluidity of the transparent material is good,
Thereby, the inner shaft portion 97 and the outer shaft portion 95a
The adhesiveness of the joint surface with is high, and the light transmittance is further improved. Further, when the outlet of the small hole 95b is coated with a colored paint or the like so as to be shielded from light, part of the light propagating through the inner shaft portion 97 does not leak to the outside, and the loss of light can be suppressed. .

On the other hand, returning to FIG. 1, for example, a flange 105 is mounted on the front end side of the light guide shaft 93, and the wind vehicle body 1 of the lamp wind turbine 55 is mounted via the flange 105.
The light guide shaft 93 and the wind vehicle body 107 are joined by screwing the screw 109 into 07. The wind vehicle body 107 is made of, for example, plastic having a light-transmitting property, and a light emitting portion 113 is formed on the center side in the rotation direction thereof via a circumferential step 111. The light emitting unit 113 is formed with a plurality of small lenses 114 that refract light. Further, a cylindrical protruding portion 115 is provided on the back side near the step 111, and a screw hole (not shown) is formed at the tip of the protruding portion 115, and the screw hole is integrated with the light guide shaft 93. The light guide shaft 93 and the wind vehicle body 107 are joined by screwing the screw 109 from the side of the flange 105.

FIG. 4 is a front view showing the front of the movable lighting device for a game machine according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The wind vehicle body 107 is formed on the outer periphery of the cylindrical protrusion 115.
Four ball receiving plates 119a, 119b, 119c, and 119d are provided which project outwardly in the circumferential direction at intervals of 0 degree. In the state of the figure, when the game ball falls and collides with the ball receiving plate 119b, the wind vehicle body 107 rotates clockwise with the light guide shaft 93 with its weight, and when it collides with the ball receiving plate 119d, the wind vehicle body 107 with its weight. It rotates counterclockwise with the light guide shaft 93.

The fixed plate 79 of the fixed base 73 is not a perfect circle but is formed into a substantially elliptical shape with both sides protruding outward, and a screw nail (not shown) is inserted into the protruding portion. The cell board 41 is attached to the game board 7.

On the other hand, returning to FIG. 1, the light source accommodating portion having a cylindrical projecting wall 121 projecting toward the wind vehicle body 107 side at the center of the disk-shaped member at the tip of the projecting portion 81 of the fixed base 73. 123 is arranged, and on the back side of the light source accommodating portion 123, there is arranged a wiring board 127 on which an LED lamp 125 that enters the protruding wall 121 and is turned on by driving an electric unit (not shown) is mounted. Light source housing 12
3 and the wiring board 127 are both formed with holes into which the screws 129 are inserted, and the screws 129 are inserted into the holes and screwed into the screw holes 91 of the projecting portion 81 to be integrally attached to the fixed base 73. Has been.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
For example, the start winning opening 47 or the winning opening 49 shown in FIG.
When the LED lamp 125 shown in FIG. 1 is turned on through the driving of the electric unit due to the game ball entering the
The light of the D lamp 125 enters the inner shaft portion 97 from the rear end of the inner shaft portion 97, propagates in a direction along the axial direction of the inner shaft portion 97, is irradiated to a hemispherical portion at the tip of the inner shaft 97, and further has a hemispherical shape. Partially diffused and radiated outward. Most of the light diffused and emitted from the anti-spherical portion at the tip of the inner shaft portion 97 is mostly the light emitting portion 11 of the wind vehicle body 107.
3 is irradiated, but is also reflected from the reflecting surface 99 and the light emitting unit 1
13 is irradiated. As a result, the light emitting unit 113 shines brightly and emits light. For example, when the light emitting portion 113 is colored with translucency (semi-transparent color), the color emits a bright color, and when the light emitting portion 113 is transparent, an LED is emitted.
A bright color is emitted by the emission color of the lamp 125. Therefore, by blinking in association with the game control of the pachinko machine, the playability can be improved.

On the other hand, while the light emitting section 113 is emitting light, the game balls are four ball receiving plates 119a of the wind vehicle body 107,
When the wind vehicle body 107 rotates due to the collision with any one of 119b, 119c, and 119d, the light emitting unit 113
The small lens 114 can also be rotated to sequentially change the divergence direction of the light, thereby providing the player with various lights.

In this embodiment, the light-transmitting inner shaft portion 97 is provided inside the light-shielding outer shaft portion 95.
And the LED lamp 1 of the inner shaft portion 97
The light emitting portion 1 of the wind vehicle body 107 is formed by forming the tip on the 25 side into a convex surface.
By forming the tip on the 13 side in an anti-spherical shape, the light of the LED lamp 125 can be widely diffused and radiated to the light emitting section 113 while concentrating the light over the entire surface.
The area of the light emitting portion 113 can be increased and bright light can be emitted with a small power consumption of 25.

Further, in this embodiment, the LED lamp 1
Since 25 can be installed by screwing the wiring board 127 to the fixed base 73 from the back side of the game board 7, it is easy for the operator to remove the LED lamp 125 due to its failure. It can be easily removed. That is, with the wiring board 127 removed from the fixed base 73, the old LED lamp 125 can be removed from the wiring board 127 and a new lamp can be attached to the wiring board 127 to replace the light source.

Further, in this embodiment, since the inner shaft portion 97 utilizes the property of propagating light in the axial direction, the light quantity at the tip of the inner shaft portion 97 is substantially the same as the light quantity at the rear end. In addition, the amount of light emitted from the LED lamp 125 can be made substantially equal by the proximity of the LED lamp 125 to the rear end of the inner shaft portion 97. That is, the light guide shaft 93 has a structure similar to that of an optical fiber having the inner shaft portion 97 as a core and the outer shaft portion 95 as a glad.
The amount of light generated by the lamp 125 can be emitted from the tip of the inner shaft portion 97 through the light emitting portion 113 without being substantially attenuated.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a structure of a main part of a movable lighting device for a game machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
In addition, here, the light guide shaft 161 and the light source housing 17
Only the structure of No. 1 will be described, and the description of the fixed base having the same structure as the above embodiment will be omitted. Light guide shaft 1
61 is an outer shaft portion 16 having a pipe-like light-shielding property.
3 and an inner shaft portion 165 having a rod-like translucency that is integrated inside the outer shaft portion 163. The inner shaft portion 163 is inside the outer shaft portion 163, that is, inside the inner shaft portion 165. Partition wall 1 having a cross-shaped cross section that divides the portion 165 into four at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction.
67 is arranged. In particular, the end of the partition wall 167 on the side of the ornament does not enter the anti-spherical portion of the inner shaft portion 165, so that the light emitted from each of the LED lamps, which will be described later, is not reflected by the inner shaft portion 165. It is possible to mix in the part formed in the spherical shape.

A diffusing space is formed by forming a reflecting surface 169 having a diameter gradually increasing toward the ornament on the tip of the outer shaft portion 163 on the side where the ornament is installed (the tip on the left side in the figure). In addition, the tip of the inner shaft portion 165 on the side where the ornament is installed is formed in an anti-spherical shape to diffuse light emission.

In the cylindrical projecting wall 173 projecting toward the ornament side of the light source accommodating portion 171, the projecting wall 173 is divided into four at 90 degree intervals in the circumferential direction.
5 are arranged. The wiring board 177 has a light source housing 1
Four LED lamps 179a, 179 which individually enter into each room partitioned by the partition wall 175 in the protruding wall 173 of 71 and are turned on by driving an electric unit (not shown).
b, 179c, 179d are arranged. Each of the LED lamps 179a, 179b, 179c, 179d can have different emission colors. The light source housing 171 and the wiring board 177 are integrally assembled to a fixed base (not shown) with screws (not shown).

FIG. 7 is an explanatory view for explaining a preceding step of each step in the method of manufacturing the light guide shaft. First, when the outer shaft portion 163 is formed by, for example, lathe processing or molding processing, for example, the outer shaft portion 163 is formed.
A small hole (not shown) is opened in a part of the side surface of the. Then, as shown in the drawing, the partition wall 167 is inserted into the outer shaft portion 163 while not blocking the small hole formed in the side surface of the outer shaft portion 163. Next, the outer shaft portion 163 is disposed in the molding space of one molding die, and the other molding die is inserted into the molding space while the outer shaft portion 163 of the portion projecting from the one molding die is inserted. Match with one mold. Then, for example, a glass fiber or a transparent resin as a translucent material is injected into an injection port that communicates with the small hole of the outer shaft portion 163.
When the light-transmitting material is solidified, the inner shaft portion 165 is formed inside the outer shaft portion 163 in the molding die to be matched. Thus, after the translucent material is solidified, the outer shaft portion 16
3 is removed from both molds to obtain the light guide shaft 161.

Also in the case of this manufacturing method, since the liquid translucent material is brought into close contact with and integrated with the inner wall of the outer shaft portion 163 at the time of molding to form the inner shaft portion 165, the inner shaft portion 165 and the outer shaft portion 165 are formed. There is no extra space for absorbing light on the joint surface with 163,
Therefore, the inner shaft portion 165 has very good light transmittance. Further, since no step is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer shaft portion 163, there is no portion that hinders the fluidity of the light transmissive material, and therefore the fluidity of the light transmissive material is good, which results in the inner shaft portion 165 and the outer shaft portion 165. The adhesiveness of the joint surface with 163 is high, and the light transmittance is further improved. Further, when the outlet of the small hole is coated with a colored paint or the like so as to be shielded from light, part of the light propagating through the inner shaft portion 165 does not leak to the outside, and the light loss can be suppressed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
For example, the start winning opening 47 or the winning opening 4 shown in FIG.
Each LED lamp 179a, 179b shown in FIG. 6 is driven through the drive of the electric unit due to the game ball entering 9 or the like.
