(Becomes disengaged). As a result, the operating member 89 tilts toward the first lowered position about the first support shaft 92, and the first shaft 72 is engaged with the guide portion 95 on the free end side of the operating member 89. The contacting movable body 45 (first movable member 47) also falls from its initial position to its intermediate position by its own weight. Further, as the actuating member 89 tilts from the holding position to the first lowered position, as shown in FIG. 13, the switching engaged portion 88b is disengaged outward from the engaging groove 96 through the opening 96c. .

  The manner in which the movable body 45 falls will be specifically described. When the movable body 45 starts to move downward (drop) from the initial position, the first guide means 59 and the second guide means 63 are arranged such that the first slide body 62 and the second slide body 64 move relative to the apparatus main body 49. It moves downward integrally with the movable body 45. The first slide body 62 abuts on a first stopper provided on the first fixed rail 60, and the extended portions 64 c and 64 c of the second slide body 64 are connected to the apparatus main body 49 (cover) via the first reinforcing members 68 and 68. After the movement of the slide bodies 62 and 64 is restricted by contacting the first buffer members 69 and 69 provided on the member 51), only the movable body 45 moves downward with respect to the slide bodies 62 and 64. To do. Then, the second fixed rail 61 abuts on the second stopper provided on the first slide body 62, and the restricting projection 67 provided on the base 53 of the first movable member 47 is provided via the second reinforcing member 71. By abutting against the second buffer member 70 provided on the two-slide body 64, the downward movement of the movable body 45 is restricted, and the movable body 45 is connected to the window 26a of the frame-shaped decorative body 26 as shown in FIG. Exposed to the front side.

  Since the movable body 45 falls by its own weight from the initial position hidden behind the decorative part 41 to the intermediate position, the entertainment of the game can be improved by an effect with the impact that the movable body 45 falls vigorously. In the state where the second movable member 48 is held in the first posture, the central design portion 54 a provided on the design body 54 of the first movable member 47 is partially hidden by the second movable member 48. Therefore, what is displayed on the central design portion 54a cannot be recognized. That is, the player's interest in the design displayed in the central design portion 54a can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved. Further, when the movable body 45 falls, as shown in FIG. 14, the extending portions 64c and 64c of the second slide body 64 abut against the first buffer members 69 and 69 of the apparatus main body 49, and the movable body 45 (first Since the restricting protrusion 67 of the first movable member 47) contacts the second buffer member 70 of the second slide body 64, the impact applied when the movable body 45 falls can be reduced, and a vigorous operation effect can be achieved. It is possible to prevent the movable body 45 from being damaged while performing. Further, in the embodiment, the extending portions 64c, 64c and the restricting projection 67 are reinforced by the reinforcing members 68, 68, 71, so that the movable body 45 is movably supported with respect to the apparatus main body 49. Durability can be improved.

  If the switching engaged portion 88b is moved by the rotation of the rotary operating body 88 in the forward rotation direction while the operating member 89 is held at the first lowered position, the switching engaged portion 88b is The engaging groove 96 enters from the opening 96c. Then, when the rotary operating body 88 further rotates in the forward rotation direction, the switching engaged portion 88b is formed on the operating wall 96e that defines the engaging groove 96 as shown in FIGS. When engaged and abutted, the operating wall 96e is pushed downward. At this time, the first shaft 72 of the movable body 45 (first movable member 47) enters the second engagement hole 94b from the first engagement hole 94a of the operating member 89, so that the movable body 45 (first movable member 47). While the member 47) is held at the intermediate position, the actuating member 89 is allowed to tilt from the first lowered position to the second lowered position.

  When the actuating member 89 tilts from the first lowered position to the second lowered position, the actuating portion 89c is engaged with the second shaft body 101a of the connecting member 97 as shown in FIGS. The connecting member 97 is tilted about the second support shaft 98. Accordingly, the second movable member 48 connected to the connecting member 97 via the connecting portion 100a and the operating piece 82a moves from the first posture to the second posture. That is, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the second movable member 48 tilts forward with respect to the first movable member 47 facing the window 26 a of the frame-shaped decorative body 26. Then, since the second movable member 48 is in the second posture, the entire central design portion 54a is exposed to the front side, so that the design displayed on the central design portion 54a is exposed, and the second movable The entertainment of the game can be improved by the operation effect of the member 48.

  When the switching engaged portion 88b is moved away from the operating wall 96e by the rotation of the rotary operating body 88 in the forward rotation direction, the operating member 89 is moved from the second lowered position by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 93. Tilt toward the lowered position. Thereby, the first shaft 72 of the movable body 45 (first movable member 47) enters the first engagement hole 94a from the second engagement hole 94b of the operating member 89, and the linking member 97 is twisted coil spring. The second movable member 48 returns from the second posture to the first posture by tilting the operating piece 82a linked to the linkage portion 100a by the urging force 102. Then, as shown in FIG. 19, when the switching engaged portion 88b engages and contacts the upper engagement wall 96d from below by the rotation of the rotary operating body 88 in the forward rotation direction, the switching engaged portion. When the upper engagement wall 96d is pushed up with the movement of 88b (rotation of the rotary operation body 88), the operation member 89 tilts toward the holding position. That is, as the operating member 89 tilts, the guide portion 95 that defines the first engagement hole 94a pushes up (guides) the first shaft body 72 of the movable body 45 (first movable member 47). The movable body 45 (first movable member 47) is lifted from the intermediate position toward the initial position. The second movable member 48 is returned to the first posture before the switching engaged portion 88b released from the engagement state with respect to the operation wall 96e is brought into engagement with the upper engagement wall 96d. Since the second movable member 48 is configured, the movable body 45 (first movable member 47) does not start moving upward from the intermediate position before the second movable member 48 returns to the first posture, and the second movable member 48. Is prevented from interfering with the decorative movable body 43 at the first position and hindering the upward movement of the movable body 45 (first movable member 47).

  When the movable body 45 (first movable member 47) starts to move upward from the intermediate position, the first guide means 59 and the second guide means 63 are moved relative to the first slide body 62 and the second slide body 64. The movable body 45 (first movable member 47) moves alone, and the second fixed rail 61 comes into contact with the contact portion provided on the first slide body 62 before reaching the initial position, and the second slide body. The second guide boss 67a provided in 64 is brought into contact with the wall defining the upper end of the second guide hole 64b from below, so that the movable body 45 (first movable member 47) is integrated with both the slide bodies 62 and 64. Moves upward. Then, the detection piece 88c provided on the rotary operating body 88 is detected by the detection means 91, and the control means stops the drive motor 85 based on the detection signal from the detection means 91, whereby the movable body 45 is detected. (First movable member 47) is held at the initial position (see FIG. 4).

  Further, in the state where the operation member 89 is held at the holding position (the state where the movable body 45 is held at the initial position), the rotary operation body is driven by the drive motor 85 driven under the control of the control means. When 88 is rotated in the reverse rotation direction, the operation member 89 is centered on the first support shaft 92 while maintaining the state where the upper engagement wall 96d is engaged with the switching engaged portion 88b from above. 1 Tilt toward the lowered position. Further, the movable body 45 (first movable member 47), in which the first shaft body 72 is supported by the guide portion 95 with respect to the operating member 89, slowly moves downward as the operating member 89 tilts, In the first guide means 59 and the second guide means 63, the movable body 45 (first movable member 47) is stopped and held at the intermediate position by the second stopper and the second buffer member 70, so that the operating member 89 is lowered first. Stopped and held in position. Then, as the rotary operating body 88 continues to rotate in the reverse rotation direction, the switching engaged portion 88b spaced downward from the upper engaging wall 96d is applied to the lower wall 96f of the operating member 89 located at the first lowered position from above. By engaging and contacting, the lower wall 96f is pushed downward, and the operating member 89 is tilted to the second lowered position as described above, whereby the second movable member 48 is changed from the first posture to the second posture. Moving. Even when the rotary operating body 88 is rotated in the reverse direction, the tilting of the operating member 89 between the first lowered position and the second lowered position causes the first shaft body 72 to move to the first engagement hole 94a. And the second engagement hole 94b are allowed to move relative to each other.

  Further, after the actuating member 89 is tilted to the second lowered position by the rotation of the rotary actuating member 88 in the reverse rotation direction, the drive motor 85 is reversely driven under the control of the control means, whereby the rotary actuating member 88 is rotated. By rotating in the forward rotation direction, as described above, the engaged portion 88b for switching engages and comes into contact with the upper engagement wall 96d from the lower side, and the operating member 89 is tilted toward the holding position. The movable body 45 (first movable member 47) is lifted toward the initial position.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the first movable member 47 is reciprocated in the vertical direction by a single drive motor 85, and the second movable member 48 disposed on the first movable member 47 is moved to the first movable member. Since it is configured to move in the front-rear direction intersecting with the movement surface of 47, it is possible to improve the interest by causing the movable members 47 and 48 to produce a three-dimensional motion effect with impact. Further, the movement of the first movable member 47 and the movement of the second movable member 48 are not performed simultaneously. That is, since the second movable member 48 is moved while the movement of the first movable member 47 is stopped, the first movable member 47 is moved while the movement of the second movable member 48 is stopped. It is possible to produce a clear motion effect and improve the interest. Moreover, while the first movable member 47 moves in the vertical direction, the second movable member 48 does not move between the first posture and the second posture. It is possible to prevent the second movable member 48 from interfering with the game parts and hindering the operation.

  Since the operation mechanism 86 of the embodiment is configured to operate the first movable member 47 and the second movable member 48 by swinging one operation member 89, the configuration of the operation mechanism 86 is simple. Manufacturing costs can be kept low. Further, since the upper engagement wall 96d is provided between the pivotal support portion of the operation member 89 and the guide portion 95 that engages with the first shaft body 72 of the movable body 45 (first movable member 47), the rotary operation body is provided. The load applied to the drive motor 85 when the actuating member 89 and the movable body 45 (the first movable member 47) are lifted under the engaging action of the 88 engaged portion 88b for switching and the upper engaging wall 96d is reduced. Can do.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the movable body 45 (first movable member 47) can be obtained by rotating the rotary actuator 88 in the normal rotation direction at the holding position of the operating member 89 (initial position of the movable body 45). The second movable member 48 can be moved (operated) after it has been vigorously dropped to its intermediate position by its own weight, and the movable body 45 (first movable The second movable member 48 can be moved (operated) after the member 47) is slowly moved downward to an intermediate position at a speed (controlled speed) corresponding to the rotational speed of the rotary actuator 88. That is, since the movable body 45 can be moved at different speeds using the single drive mechanism 46, the range of operation effects can be expanded without incurring costs, which can contribute to improvement of interest. Moreover, since the rotational speed of the drive motor 85 itself is not variable, the control load on the drive motor 85 does not increase. Further, the speed at which the second movable member 48 operates when the engaged portion 88b for switching is engaged with and abutted with respect to the operating wall 96e from the normal rotation direction is switched from the reverse direction with respect to the lower wall 96f. Since the second movable member 48 is configured to be slower than the speed at which the second movable member 48 operates when the engaged portion 88b is engaged and contacted, the operation mode of the second movable member 48 is changed to improve the interest. be able to. That is, when the rotary operating body 88 rotates in the forward rotation direction, the movable body 45 (first movable member 47) drops vigorously (faster), whereas the operation speed of the second movable member 48 is slow, When the operating body 88 rotates in the reverse rotation direction, the movable body 45 (first movable member 47) slowly moves downward, whereas the operating speed of the second movable member 48 is increased. Therefore, the first movable member An interesting effect can be achieved by the difference in speed at which the 47 and the second movable member 48 operate.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, after the first movable member 47 falls along the board surface of the game board 20, the second movable member 48 disposed on the front side of the first movable member 47 stands. Since the second movable member 48 jumps forward, the player can be more impacted and can be more interesting. In addition, the specific light emitter 55b disposed on the first movable member 47 is disposed on the second movable member 48 in a state where the second movable member 48 disposed on the first movable member 47 is moved to the second posture. Since it is configured to face the rear end of the light guide 83 (see FIG. 18), the light emitting portion 84 positioned on the front side of the second movable member 48 is guided by the light guide 83 from the specific light emitter 55b. It can brighten effectively and can produce a light emission effect with impact. Since the second movable member 48 disposed so as to be operable with respect to the first movable member 47 is not provided with an electrical component such as a light emitter, the wiring process is not required and the structure can be simplified.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the second movable member 48 is in a standing posture substantially along the front surface of the first movable member 47 at the initial position of the movable body 45. The space in the front-rear direction required for housing the movable body 45 behind the decorative movable body 43 can be kept small. That is, even in the configuration in which the first movable member 47 and the second movable member 48 perform a three-dimensional and impactful operation, the space required when the movable body 45 is accommodated (initial position) can be reduced, and the pachinko machine This can contribute to the reduction of 10 front and rear dimensions.
