  According to the conventional rotary accessory device disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the symbol drum is stopped and an arbitrary symbol display surface is exposed on the front surface of the game board, the reflected light of each LED reflected by the reflector Only the back surface of the symbol display surface is irradiated, and the direct light from each LED is not irradiated on the symbol display surface, so that the symbol display surface can be brightly illuminated with uniform brightness. However, in order to irradiate all the light of each LED as reflected light on the back surface of the symbol display surface, it is necessary to form a plurality of main reflection surfaces and auxiliary reflection surfaces on the reflector, so that the overall shape of the reflector becomes complicated. There was a problem that the cost of parts increased. In addition, since a plurality of LEDs (light emitters) are mounted on a wiring board arranged orthogonal to the axis of the design drum, when the width dimension (length in the axial direction) of the design drum is increased, the wiring board It becomes difficult for the light of the LED to reach the symbol display surface at a distant location, and uneven brightness in the width direction is likely to occur on the symbol display surface. If each LED is arranged near the axis of the symbol drum and away from the symbol display surface, even if the reflector is omitted, the symbol display surface can be illuminated with uniform brightness by the direct light of each LED. In the conventional rotary type accessory device, since the rotation shaft of the motor exists in the shaft center of the design drum, each LED cannot be arranged near the shaft center of the design drum.

  The present invention has been made in view of the actual situation of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rotary accessory device that can illuminate a symbol display surface with uniform brightness without using a reflector. is there.

In the rotary accessory device configured as described above, end plates are fixed to both ends of the cylindrical rotary display body, and the rotary display body rotates and stops around the axis via the end plate. However, a support body integral with the base member is disposed inside the rotation display body through the center hole of both end face plates, and the wiring board is assumed to pass through its axis inside the rotation display body. Since it is being fixed to the support body along the line, the several light-emitting body mounted on the wiring board can be arrange | positioned in the position away with respect to the symbol display surface of a rotation display body. Therefore, when the rotary display body is driven to rotate about the axis and an arbitrary symbol display surface is exposed on the front surface of the game board, if the light from the light emitter is irradiated from the back side of the symbol display surface, bother the reflector. It is possible to illuminate the symbol display surface with uniform brightness even without using the.

  In the above configuration, when the rotary display body includes a plurality of divided drums connected in a cylindrical shape by a pair of end face plates, and each of the divided drums is a resin molded product having a symbol display surface, the circumference of each divided drum is The entire surface can be used as a symbol display surface, which is preferable.

  In this case, if the divided drum is made of an in-mold molded product having a transfer foil on the outer surface, and lens cutting is applied to at least one of the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the divided drum, a wide variety of symbol display surfaces are displayed. Not only can the divided drums be easily formed, but also the glare on the symbol display surface can be adjusted by lens cutting on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the divided drums. A suitable rotary accessory device can be realized.

  Further, in the above configuration, when the holding body that holds the wiring board between the support body and the light shielding wall that divides each light emitting body into a plurality of regions is erected on the holding body, the holding body stands upright. Since interference of light between the light emitters partitioned by the provided light shielding wall is suppressed, the symbol display surface exposed on the front surface of the game board can be partially illuminated with different emission colors, and such The holding body can be fixed to the support body together with the wiring board.

In the rotary accessory device of the present invention, end face plates are fixed to both ends of a cylindrical rotary display body having a plurality of types of symbol display surfaces that are continuous in the circumferential direction, and the rotary display body is provided via the end face plates. Rotate and stop around the axis, but the support body integral with the base member is placed inside the rotation display body through the center hole of both end plates, and the wiring board is rotated and displayed. Because it is fixed to the support body along the imaginary line passing through its axis inside the body, a plurality of light emitters mounted on the wiring board should be placed at positions away from the symbol display surface of the rotating display body Can do. Therefore, when the rotary display is driven to rotate and an arbitrary symbol display surface is exposed on the front surface of the game board, the light of the light emitter can be irradiated from a position away from the back surface of the symbol display surface. Thus, the symbol display surface can be illuminated with uniform brightness without using a reflector.

  When the first motor 44 is driven with the rotation display body 39 exposed in the window hole 47a, the rotation of the first motor 44 is transmitted from the drive gear 50 to the rotation display body 39 via the end face plate 48. The display body 39 rotates around the axis centered on the support body 64. In this case, by controlling the rotation of the first motor 44, another divided drum 56 is exposed in the window hole 47a in place of the arbitrary divided drum 56 that has been exposed in the window hole 47a until it is rotated. It is possible to perform a movable effect such as slightly rotating the display body 39 in both the forward and reverse directions to vibrate the divided drum 56 exposed in the window hole 47a. In addition, since the initial position of the rotation display body 39 is detected by the light detection sensor 46, the rotation amount of the first motor 44 can be accurately controlled based on the detection signal of the light detection sensor 46.

  Further, when each LED 63 mounted on the wiring board 60 is turned on while the rotation display body 39 is rotating or stopped, the light from the LED 63 is on the rear surface with respect to the symbol display surface 56 a of the divided drum 56 positioned in front of the wiring board 60. The light is emitted from the side, and passes through the light transmission region of the symbol display surface 56a to be emitted forward. At that time, since the wiring board 60 is arranged along the virtual line L passing through the axis of the rotary display 39, the LEDs 63 on the wiring board 60 are located away from the symbol display surface 56a of each divided drum 56. Therefore, the symbol display surface 56a can be illuminated with uniform brightness without using a reflector.

  Here, each LED 63 on the wiring board 60 is partitioned into three regions by the light shielding wall 61b of the holding body 61, and light interference between the LEDs 63 in each region is prevented by the light shielding wall 61b. It is possible to illuminate all the symbol display surfaces 56a of the divided drums 56 exposed in 47a with the same emission color, or to illuminate the symbol display surface 56a with different emission colors for each region, for example, the center of the symbol display surface 56a Only the portion can be illuminated with white light, and both the left and right sides can be illuminated with red light. Further, a lens cut-shaped uneven portion 56c is formed at an arbitrary position on the inner surface of the symbol display surface 56a in the divided drum 56, and the light of the LED 63 directed toward the inner surface of the symbol display surface 56a is refracted by the uneven portion 56c. Since it radiates | emits ahead, the arbitrary places of the symbol display surface 56a can be illuminated with the light with a glare feeling.

  As described above, in the rotary type accessory device according to the present embodiment, the end face plates 48 and 49 are fixed to both ends of the rotary display body 39 having a plurality of types of symbol display surfaces 56 a, and the first motor 44. When the drive gear 50 provided on the output shaft is engaged with the gear portion 48a of the one end face plate 48, the rotary display body 39 is rotated and stopped around the shaft center through the end face plate 48. Since the wiring board 60 on which the plurality of LEDs 63 are mounted is arranged along the imaginary line L passing through the axis inside the rotation display body 39, each LED 63 is separated from the symbol display surface 56a of the rotation display body 39. Can be placed in position. Therefore, when the rotary display 39 is driven to rotate and an arbitrary symbol display surface 56a is exposed on the front surface of the game board 6, the light of each LED 63 is emitted from a position away from the back surface of the symbol display surface 56a. Irradiation is possible, and the symbol display surface 56a can be illuminated with uniform brightness without using a reflector.

  The rotary display 39 having a hollow structure includes a plurality of divided drums 56 connected in a cylindrical shape by a pair of end face plates 48 and 49, and each of the divided drums 56 is a resin molded product having a symbol display surface 56a. Therefore, the entire peripheral surface of each divided drum 56 can be used as the symbol display surface 56a. These divided drums 56 are made of an in-mold molded product having a transfer foil 56B on the outer surface, and the lens cut-shaped uneven portion 56c is formed on at least the inner peripheral surface of the divided drum 56. The divided drum 56 having the display surface 56a can be easily formed. Moreover, it is possible to appropriately adjust the glare of the symbol display surface 56a by the lens cut processing applied to the molded product 56A of the split drum 56, and to realize a rotary accessory device suitable for various light emitting modes. Can do.

  Further, the holding body 61 is screwed to the support body 64 with the wiring board 60 interposed therebetween, so that the wiring board 60 and the holding body 61 are fixed together to the support body 64, and the light shielding provided upright on the holding body 61. Since each LED 63 on the wiring board 60 is partitioned into a plurality of regions by the wall 61b, interference of light between the LEDs 63 partitioned by the light shielding wall 61b can be suppressed. This makes it possible to illuminate the entire area of the symbol display surface 56a exposed on the front surface of the game board 6 with the same emission color, or to illuminate the symbol display surface 56a with partially different emission colors. Can be diversified.

  In the above embodiment, the rotary accessory device including the rotary display 39 and the first motor 44 is covered with the cover 47, and the window hole 47a opened in the cover 47 is opened and closed by the pair of shutters 42 and 43. Thus, the rotary display 39 is exposed in the window hole 47a only when the shutters 42 and 43 are open, but the shutter 42 and 43 are omitted so that the rotary display 39 is always exposed. May be.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the cylindrical rotation display body 39 is configured by continuously dividing the divided drum 56 into four in the circumferential direction has been described. However, the number of divisions of the divided drum 56 is not limited to four. When the viewing range of the rotary display 39 exposed on the front surface of the game board 6 is narrow, it is possible to connect the divided drums 56 divided into five or more in a cylindrical shape, and the divided drum divided into two or three 56 may be connected in a cylindrical shape.
