以下、本発明にかかる遊技機１の一実施形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。まず、図１を参照して遊技機１の全体構成について簡単に説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the game machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

遊技機１は遊技盤９０を備える。遊技盤９０は、ほぼ正方形の合板により成形されており、発射装置９０８（発射ハンドル）の操作によって発射された遊技球を遊技領域９０２に案内する通路を構成するガイドレール９０３が略円弧形状となるように設けられている。 The game machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and the guide rail 903 forming a passage for guiding the game ball launched by the operation of the launch device 908 (launch handle) to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

遊技領域９０２には、表示装置９１、始動入賞口９０４、大入賞口９０６、アウト口９０７などが設けられている。かかる表示装置９１の表示領域９１１は、遊技盤９０に形成された開口９０１を通じて視認可能となる領域である。なお、表示領域９１１の形状等は適宜変更可能である（開口９０１の形状や大きさ、表示装置９１自体の形状や大きさを変更することで表示領域９１１の形状等を変更することができる）。 The game area 902 is provided with a display device 91, a start winning opening 904, a large winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be visually recognized through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90. The shape of the display area 911 can be changed as appropriate (the shape and size of the display area 911 can be changed by changing the shape and size of the opening 901 and the shape and size of the display device 91 itself). ..

また、遊技領域９０２には、流下する遊技球が衝突することにより遊技球の流下態様に変化を与える障害物としての遊技釘が複数設けられている。遊技領域９０２を流下する遊技球は、遊技釘に衝突したときの条件に応じて様々な態様に変化する。 Further, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the flow mode of the game balls when the flowing game balls collide with each other. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes in various modes depending on the conditions when it collides with the game nail.

このような遊技機１では、発射装置９０８を操作することにより遊技領域９０２に向けて遊技球を発射する。遊技領域９０２を流下する遊技球が、始動入賞口９０４や大入賞口９０６等の入賞口に入賞すると、所定の数の賞球が払出装置により払い出される。 In such a game machine 1, the game ball is launched toward the game area 902 by operating the launching device 908. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a prize opening such as a start winning opening 904 or a large winning opening 906, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out by a payout device.

大当たりの抽選は、図示されない制御基板に設けられた当否判定手段が始動入賞口９０４への遊技球の入賞を契機として実行する（このような始動入賞口は複数設けられていてもよい）。具体的には、始動入賞口９０４への遊技球の入賞を契機として乱数源から数値（当否判定情報）が取得され、当該数値が予め定められた大当たりの数値と同じである場合には大当たりとなり、異なる場合にははずれとなる。本実施形態では、当該数値が取得された順に当否判定結果の報知が開始される（いわゆる変動が開始される）こととなるが、ある数値が取得されたときに、それより前に取得された数値に基づく当否判定結果が報知されている際には、当該ある数値に基づく当否判定結果が開始されるまで、図示されない制御基板に設けられた記憶手段に記憶される。未だ当否判定の報知が開始されていない数値（以下単に保留と称することもある）の最大の記憶数（最大保留数）は適宜設定することができる。本実施形態における記憶手段が記憶できる最大保留数は、一種の始動入賞口９０４につき四つである。記憶手段に上記数値（当否判定情報）が記憶されていることは、保留図柄８０として表示される（図２参照）。なお、本実施形態では、当否判定の報知が開始される時点で、取得された数値が大当たりとなる数値か否かが判断されることとなるが、数値が取得されたときに当否判定を行い、当否判定結果自体を記憶させておく構成としてもよい（この場合には当否判定結果自体が、当否判定情報に相当することとなる）。また、取得された数値は、当否判定結果を報知する演出の具体的な内容を決定するための数値としても利用される。 The jackpot lottery is executed by a winning / failing determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball into the starting winning opening 904 (a plurality of such starting winning openings may be provided). Specifically, a numerical value (win / fail judgment information) is acquired from the random number source triggered by the winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening 904, and if the numerical value is the same as the predetermined jackpot value, it becomes a jackpot. If they are different, they will be out of order. In the present embodiment, the notification of the hit / fail judgment result is started in the order in which the numerical value is acquired (so-called fluctuation is started), but when a certain numerical value is acquired, it is acquired before that. When the hit / fail judgment result based on the numerical value is notified, it is stored in a storage means provided on a control board (not shown) until the hit / fail judgment result based on the certain numerical value is started. The maximum number of stored numbers (maximum number of holds) of the numerical value (hereinafter, also simply referred to as hold) for which the notification of the hit / fail judgment has not been started can be appropriately set. The maximum number of holdings that can be stored by the storage means in the present embodiment is four for one kind of starting winning opening 904. The fact that the above-mentioned numerical value (hit / fail determination information) is stored in the storage means is displayed as the reserved symbol 80 (see FIG. 2). In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the acquired numerical value is a jackpot value at the time when the notification of the winning / failing determination is started, but when the numerical value is acquired, the winning / failing determination is performed. , The hit / fail judgment result itself may be stored (in this case, the hit / miss judgment result itself corresponds to the hit / miss judgment information). In addition, the acquired numerical value is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the effect of notifying the success / failure determination result.

なお、遊技機１の枠体、遊技球を貯留する下皿や上皿など、本発明に関係のない遊技機１の構成要素は説明を省略する。これらについては公知の遊技機と同様の構造のものが適用できる。 The components of the game machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the game machine 1, the lower plate and the upper plate for storing the game balls, will not be described. As for these, those having the same structure as a known game machine can be applied.

本実施形態では、公知の遊技機と同様に、表示装置９１の表示領域９１１に表示される識別図柄７０（図２参照）の組み合わせによって当否判定結果を遊技者に報知する。具体的には、複数種の識別図柄７０を含む識別図柄群７０ｇ（左識別図柄群７０ｇＬ、中識別図柄群７０ｇＣ、右識別図柄群７０ｇＲ）が変動を開始し、最終的に各識別図柄群７０ｇから一の識別図柄７０が選択されて停止する。大当たりに当選している場合には各識別図柄群７０ｇから選択されて停止した識別図柄７０の組み合わせは所定の組み合わせ（例えば、同じ識別図柄７０の三つ揃い）となる。はずれである場合にはそれ以外（大当たりとなる組み合わせ以外）の組み合わせとなる。なお、各図においては、識別図柄７０を構成する「数字（文字）」のみを図示するが、当該数字とキャラクタ等が組み合わされた図柄を識別図柄７０として設定することができる。 In the present embodiment, similarly to the known gaming machine, the winning / failing determination result is notified to the player by the combination of the identification symbols 70 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, the identification symbol group 70 g (left identification symbol group 70 gL, middle identification symbol group 70 gC, right identification symbol group 70 gR) including a plurality of types of identification symbols 70 starts to fluctuate, and finally each identification symbol group 70 g. One of the identification symbols 70 is selected and stopped. When the jackpot is won, the combination of the identification symbols 70 selected from each identification symbol group 70g and stopped becomes a predetermined combination (for example, three sets of the same identification symbols 70). If it is out of the way, it will be a combination other than that (other than the combination that will be a big hit). In each figure, only the "numbers (characters)" constituting the identification symbol 70 are shown, but a symbol in which the numbers and characters are combined can be set as the identification symbol 70.

本実施形態にかかる遊技機１は、演出に用いられる可動部材１０を備える。以下、当該可動部材１０およびそれに関係する要素について説明する。 The game machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a movable member 10 used for the production. Hereinafter, the movable member 10 and elements related thereto will be described.

本実施形態における可動部材１０は、原位置（図３（ａ）に示す位置）と演出位置（図４（ｂ）に示す位置）との間を往復動作可能に設けられている（図３、４参照）。当該可動部材１０を支持する部材として、ベース部材２０が設けられている。ベース部材２０は、遊技機１の本体側に動かないように固定された部材である。本実施形態におけるベース部材２０は、大まかに見て前後方向に直交する平面方向に沿う略平板状の部材であり、遊技盤９０の開口９０１の上側部分に覆われる位置に配置されている。ベース部材２０は、複数の部材が組み合わされてなるものであってもよい。 The movable member 10 in the present embodiment is provided so as to be able to reciprocate between the original position (the position shown in FIG. 3A) and the effect position (the position shown in FIG. 4B) (FIG. 3, FIG. 4). A base member 20 is provided as a member that supports the movable member 10. The base member 20 is a member fixed to the main body side of the game machine 1 so as not to move. The base member 20 in the present embodiment is a substantially flat plate-shaped member along a plane direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction when viewed roughly, and is arranged at a position covered by an upper portion of an opening 901 of the game board 90. The base member 20 may be a combination of a plurality of members.

ベース部材２０（図３、４参照）は、可動部材１０を誘導する部材でもある。具体的には、ベース部材２０には、可動部材１０自体または可動部材１０に固定された部材に設けられた被誘導部１１が係合する誘導部２１が形成されている。誘導部２１は溝または貫通孔であり、被誘導部１１はそれに係合する突起である。本実施形態では、ベース部材２０に第一誘導部２１１および第二誘導部２１２が形成されており、可動部材１０自体または可動部材１０に固定された部材には第一誘導部２１１に係合する第一被誘導部１１１および第二誘導部２１２に係合する第二被誘導部１１２が設けられている。 The base member 20 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) is also a member that guides the movable member 10. Specifically, the base member 20 is formed with a guide portion 21 with which the guided portion 11 provided on the movable member 10 itself or a member fixed to the movable member 10 is engaged. The guide portion 21 is a groove or a through hole, and the guided portion 11 is a protrusion that engages with the groove. In the present embodiment, the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 212 are formed on the base member 20, and the movable member 10 itself or the member fixed to the movable member 10 engages with the first guide portion 211. A second guided portion 112 that engages with the first guided portion 111 and the second guided portion 212 is provided.

本実施形態における第一誘導部２１１は、左右方向の一方側（本実施形態では右側）から他方側（本実施形態では左側）にかけて次第に下方に向かうような曲線状を呈する曲状部分２１１ａを含む。第二誘導部２１２は、左右方向に延びる直線状を呈する直状部分２１２ａを含む（本実施形態では、第二誘導部２１２の全体が直線状である）。第一被誘導部１１１が曲状部分２１１ａに、第二被誘導部１１２が直状部分２１２ａに係合している間は、可動部材１０はその姿勢を変えながら曲線状に変位することになる。以下の説明においては、このように変位する可動部材１０が描く軌跡を「軌跡線Ｃ１」と称することもある。 The first guide portion 211 in the present embodiment includes a curved portion 211a that gradually downwards from one side (right side in the present embodiment) to the other side (left side in the present embodiment) in the left-right direction. .. The second guide portion 212 includes a straight portion 212a having a linear shape extending in the left-right direction (in the present embodiment, the entire second guide portion 212 is linear). While the first guided portion 111 is engaged with the curved portion 211a and the second guided portion 112 is engaged with the straight portion 212a, the movable member 10 is displaced in a curved shape while changing its posture. .. In the following description, the locus drawn by the movable member 10 displaced in this way may be referred to as "trajectory line C1".

ベース部材２０には、接触部２２が設けられている（図３、４参照）。詳細は後述するが、接触部２２は、可動部材１０が接触位置（本願発明における所定位置に相当する）に位置したときに当該可動部材１０が接触する部分である。図５に示すように、本実施形態における接触部２２は、ベース部材２０の本体部２０ｈ（誘導部２１が形成された部分）から前方に向かって突出する突起である。接触部２２は、中心軸が前後方向に沿う軸部分２２１と、当該軸部分２２１の先端に設けられ、当該軸部分２２１に対して回転することが可能な円柱形状の回転部分２２２（当該回転部分２２２の回転軸は前後方向に沿う）とを有する。可動部材１０が接触位置に位置するとき、当該可動部材１０は接触部２２の回転部分２２２に接触する（図３（ｂ）参照）。可動部材１０が接触位置以外の位置に位置するときには、可動部材１０と接触部２２は接触しない（ただし、組立誤差や可動部材１０のがたつきにより、可動部材１０と接触部２２の位置関係が目論見通りのものとならない場合を除く）。なお、ベース部材２０の本体部２０ｈに直接回転部分２２２が設けられた構成としてもよい。つまり、ベース部材２０の本体部２０ｈに対し、回転部分２２２が回転自在に支持された構成（ベース部材２０の本体部２０ｈを回転部分２２２を支持する部分として機能させる構成）としてもよい。 The base member 20 is provided with a contact portion 22 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). Although details will be described later, the contact portion 22 is a portion that the movable member 10 comes into contact with when the movable member 10 is positioned at a contact position (corresponding to a predetermined position in the present invention). As shown in FIG. 5, the contact portion 22 in the present embodiment is a protrusion that projects forward from the main body portion 20h (the portion where the guide portion 21 is formed) of the base member 20. The contact portion 22 is provided at the shaft portion 221 whose central axis is along the front-rear direction and at the tip of the shaft portion 221 and can rotate with respect to the shaft portion 221 (the rotating portion 22). The axis of rotation of 222 is along the front-rear direction). When the movable member 10 is located at the contact position, the movable member 10 comes into contact with the rotating portion 222 of the contact portion 22 (see FIG. 3B). When the movable member 10 is located at a position other than the contact position, the movable member 10 and the contact portion 22 do not come into contact with each other (however, due to an assembly error or rattling of the movable member 10, the positional relationship between the movable member 10 and the contact portion 22 changes. Unless it is not what you intended). The main body portion 20h of the base member 20 may be provided with the directly rotating portion 222. That is, the rotating portion 222 may be rotatably supported with respect to the main body portion 20h of the base member 20 (a configuration in which the main body portion 20h of the base member 20 functions as a portion supporting the rotating portion 222).

回転部分２２２の周面（回転部分２２２を前後方向に直交する平面で切断した円の弧；以下、接触弧Ｃ２と称することもある）の曲がり具合よりも、上記軌跡線Ｃ１の曲がり具合は緩い。つまり、接触弧Ｃ２の曲率よりも、軌跡線Ｃ１の曲率の方が小さい（図６参照）。 The bending of the locus line C1 is looser than the bending of the peripheral surface of the rotating portion 222 (a circular arc obtained by cutting the rotating portion 222 in a plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction; hereinafter, also referred to as a contact arc C2). .. That is, the curvature of the locus line C1 is smaller than the curvature of the contact arc C2 (see FIG. 6).

可動部材１０は、ベース部材２０に形成された誘導部２１により誘導されることで、原位置と演出位置と間を往復動作する演出用の部材（いわゆる演出用の役物）である。可動部材１０の駆動源（例えばモータ）から可動部材１０までの動力伝達機構の構造はどのようなものであってもよいから説明を省略する。可動部材１０の前側には、演出効果を高めるための装飾（発光による装飾を含む）が施されている。原位置に位置する可動部材１０は、その大部分が遊技盤９０（開口９０１の上側）に覆われた状態となる。演出位置に位置する可動部材１０は、その全部または一部が遊技盤９０に形成された開口９０１を通じて視認可能な状態となる（図１参照）。つまり、原位置から演出位置に変位するにつれて、可動部材１０における開口９０１を通じて視認可能な領域が増加するように設定されている。上述したように、第一被誘導部１１１が第一誘導部２１１の曲状部分２１１ａに係合し、第二被誘導部１１２が第二誘導部２１２の直状部分２１２ａに係合している間は、上記軌跡線Ｃ１を描くように可動部材１０は変位することになる。 The movable member 10 is a member for effect (so-called accessory for effect) that reciprocates between the original position and the effect position by being guided by the guide portion 21 formed on the base member 20. The structure of the power transmission mechanism from the drive source (for example, the motor) of the movable member 10 to the movable member 10 may be any structure, and thus the description thereof will be omitted. The front side of the movable member 10 is decorated (including decoration by light emission) to enhance the effect of the effect. Most of the movable member 10 located in the original position is covered with the game board 90 (upper side of the opening 901). The movable member 10 located at the effect position is in a state where all or a part thereof can be visually recognized through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90 (see FIG. 1). That is, as the displacement from the original position to the effect position, the visible region through the opening 901 in the movable member 10 is set to increase. As described above, the first guided portion 111 is engaged with the curved portion 211a of the first guided portion 211, and the second guided portion 112 is engaged with the straight portion 212a of the second guided portion 212. During that time, the movable member 10 is displaced so as to draw the locus line C1.

可動部材１０は、上記接触部２２に接触する被接触部１２を有する（図３、４参照）。本実施形態における被接触部１２は、次のような形状を呈する。被接触部１２は平坦な面である。可動部材１０が原位置に位置する状態においては、被接触部１２は、右側から左側にかけて次第に下方に向かうように傾斜した斜面である。本実施形態では、可動部材１０が原位置からわずかに演出位置側に向かって変位した接触位置に位置するときに被接触部１２が接触部２２に接触するように設定されている。なお、設計誤差等により、可動部材１０が接触位置に位置するときに被接触部１２と接触部２２が接触しない状況も生じうる。可動部材１０が接触位置に位置するときには、前方から見て、円形の接触部２２の上方に、右側から左側にかけて下方に向かうような斜面である被接触部１２が位置し、当該円形の接触部２２の左上端部に被接触部１２が接触するような態様となる。本実施形態における可動部材１０は、大まかにみて右上の原位置と左下（原位置からみて左下）の演出位置との間を往復動作可能なものであるところ、それと同様に被接触部１２も右上から左下に向かうように傾斜した形状を呈する。 The movable member 10 has a contacted portion 12 that comes into contact with the contact portion 22 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The contacted portion 12 in the present embodiment has the following shape. The contacted portion 12 is a flat surface. In the state where the movable member 10 is located in the original position, the contacted portion 12 is a slope that is gradually inclined downward from the right side to the left side. In the present embodiment, the contacted portion 12 is set to come into contact with the contact portion 22 when the movable member 10 is located at a contact position slightly displaced from the original position toward the effect position side. In addition, due to a design error or the like, a situation may occur in which the contacted portion 12 and the contacted portion 22 do not come into contact with each other when the movable member 10 is located at the contact position. When the movable member 10 is located at the contact position, the contacted portion 12 which is a slope extending downward from the right side to the left side is located above the circular contact portion 22 when viewed from the front, and the circular contact portion 12 is located. The contacted portion 12 comes into contact with the upper left end portion of the 22. The movable member 10 in the present embodiment is capable of reciprocating between the original position on the upper right and the effect position on the lower left (lower left when viewed from the original position), and similarly, the contacted portion 12 is also on the upper right. It has a slanted shape from to the lower left.

上記の通り、第一被誘導部１１１が第一誘導部２１１の曲状部分２１１ａに係合し、第二被誘導部１１２が第二誘導部２１２の直状部分２１２ａに係合している間は、上記軌跡線Ｃ１を描くように可動部材１０は変位することになる。したがって、この間は、被接触部１２（接触位置において接触部２２に接触する箇所）も軌跡線Ｃ１を描くように変位することになる。本実施形態では、第一被誘導部１１１が第一誘導部２１１の曲状部分２１１ａに係合し、第二被誘導部１１２が第二誘導部２１２の直状部分２１２ａに係合している状態での可動部材１０の移動範囲を所定範囲とすると、当該所定範囲に上記接触位置が含まれる。つまり、被接触部１２が軌跡線Ｃ１を描くように変位している最中に、当該被接触部１２が誘導部２１に接触することになる（図３、４、６参照）。 As described above, while the first guided portion 111 is engaged with the curved portion 211a of the first guided portion 211 and the second guided portion 112 is engaged with the straight portion 212a of the second guided portion 212. The movable member 10 is displaced so as to draw the locus line C1. Therefore, during this period, the contacted portion 12 (the portion that contacts the contact portion 22 at the contact position) is also displaced so as to draw the locus line C1. In the present embodiment, the first guided portion 111 is engaged with the curved portion 211a of the first guided portion 211, and the second guided portion 112 is engaged with the straight portion 212a of the second guided portion 212. Assuming that the moving range of the movable member 10 in the state is a predetermined range, the contact position is included in the predetermined range. That is, while the contacted portion 12 is displaced so as to draw the locus line C1, the contacted portion 12 comes into contact with the guiding portion 21 (see FIGS. 3, 4, and 6).

接触部２２は以下のような作用を発現する。可動部材１０が原位置に位置するとき（図３（ａ）参照）には、可動部材１０の下方に接触部２２が位置する態様となる。したがって、原位置にて待機している可動部材１０が下方に落下してしまうことが接触部２２により防止される。また、製造誤差や劣化等によるガタが生じ、可動部材１０の原位置が下方にずれてしまうような状況が生じたとしても、可動部材１０は接触部２２により支持されることになるため、接触部２２が設けられた位置よりもさらに下方に原位置がずれてしまうことが防止される。このように、接触部２２は、基本的には原位置に位置する可動部材１０が意図せず下方にずれてしまうような状況の発生を防止するために設けられる（可動部材１０の「受け」として設けられる）ものである。 The contact portion 22 exhibits the following actions. When the movable member 10 is in the original position (see FIG. 3A), the contact portion 22 is located below the movable member 10. Therefore, the contact portion 22 prevents the movable member 10 waiting at the original position from falling downward. Further, even if a situation occurs in which the original position of the movable member 10 is displaced downward due to play due to manufacturing error, deterioration, etc., the movable member 10 is supported by the contact portion 22, so that the contact is made. It is possible to prevent the original position from being displaced further below the position where the portion 22 is provided. In this way, the contact portion 22 is basically provided to prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the movable member 10 located at the in-situ position is unintentionally displaced downward (the "receiver" of the movable member 10). (Provided as).

本実施形態では、可動部材１０が原位置に位置するとき、右側から左側に向かって下方に傾斜する被接触部１２の下方に接触部２２が位置する。したがって、可動部材１０が下方にずれてしまっても、接触部２２の右側に被接触部１２が入り込むといった状況が生じることはない。つまり、接触部２２の右側（演出位置の逆側）に被接触部１２が入り込んでしまうと、可動部材１０が演出位置に向かって変位することができない状態（全く動かない状態）となってしまうところ、本実施形態では上下方向において接触部２２と重なるように傾斜した斜面である被接触部１２が位置するように設定されるから、原位置に位置する可動部材１０が下方にずれることで被接触部１２が接触部２２に接触しても、被接触部１２が左側に向かって下方に傾斜した斜面であるがゆえ、可動部材１０が左にずれることはあっても右にずれることはない。 In the present embodiment, when the movable member 10 is in the original position, the contact portion 22 is located below the contacted portion 12 that inclines downward from the right side to the left side. Therefore, even if the movable member 10 is displaced downward, the situation in which the contacted portion 12 enters the right side of the contact portion 22 does not occur. That is, if the contacted portion 12 enters the right side of the contact portion 22 (opposite the effect position), the movable member 10 cannot be displaced toward the effect position (a state in which it does not move at all). However, in the present embodiment, since the contacted portion 12, which is an inclined slope so as to overlap the contact portion 22 in the vertical direction, is set to be located, the movable member 10 located at the original position is displaced downward to be covered. Even if the contact portion 12 comes into contact with the contact portion 22, the movable member 10 may shift to the left but not to the right because the contacted portion 12 has a slope that is inclined downward toward the left side. ..

また、本実施形態では、原位置からわずかに演出位置側にずれた位置が接触位置（図３（ｂ）参照）として設定されている。したがって、接触部２２は、演出位置から原位置に向かって変位する可動部材１０がきちんと原位置に戻るよう案内する機能も発現する。また、原位置から演出位置に向かって可動部材１０が移動する際に、重力によって可動部材１０がずり下がり、駆動源の動力が可動部材１０に伝わらない状況（歯車の噛み合わせ不良等）が発生してしまうのを抑制する機能も発現する。 Further, in the present embodiment, a position slightly deviated from the original position to the effect position side is set as the contact position (see FIG. 3B). Therefore, the contact portion 22 also exhibits a function of guiding the movable member 10 that is displaced from the effect position toward the original position so as to properly return to the original position. Further, when the movable member 10 moves from the original position to the effect position, the movable member 10 slides down due to gravity, and the power of the drive source is not transmitted to the movable member 10 (misengagement of gears, etc.). It also develops a function to suppress it.

しかし、移動する可動部材１０に接触するということは、上記のような好適な機能を発現する要因となる一方、可動部材１０の移動を阻害する要因にもなりかねないということであるが、本実施形態における接触部２２は可動部材１０の移動を阻害するものではない。具体的には、可動部材１０が原位置から演出位置に向かって移動する際には、原位置からわずかに変位したところで可動部材１０は接触位置に到達して、被接触部１２が接触部２２に接触することになり、可動部材１０が演出位置から原位置に向かって移動する際には、原位置に到達する直前に可動部材１０は接触位置に到達して、被接触部１２が接触部２２に接触することになるところ、両者の接触時には接触部２２の回転部分２２２が回転するため、被接触部１２と接触部２２の間に生じる摩擦抵抗が小さなものとなる。 However, contact with the moving movable member 10 is a factor for exhibiting the above-mentioned suitable functions, but may also be a factor for hindering the movement of the movable member 10. The contact portion 22 in the embodiment does not hinder the movement of the movable member 10. Specifically, when the movable member 10 moves from the original position to the effect position, the movable member 10 reaches the contact position when the movable member 10 is slightly displaced from the original position, and the contacted portion 12 reaches the contact portion 22. When the movable member 10 moves from the effect position to the original position, the movable member 10 reaches the contact position immediately before reaching the original position, and the contacted portion 12 reaches the contact portion. When they come into contact with 22, the rotating portion 222 of the contact portion 22 rotates at the time of contact between the two, so that the frictional resistance generated between the contacted portion 12 and the contact portion 22 becomes small.

また、変位する接触部２２の軌跡（軌跡線Ｃ１）の曲がり具合は、回転部分２２２の周面である接触弧Ｃ２の曲がり具合よりも緩い（軌跡線Ｃ１の方が接触弧Ｃ２よりも曲率が小さい）（図６参照）から、接触時に被接触部１２と接触部２２の一方から他方に作用する抗力が小さくなり、被接触部１２と接触部２２の間に生じる摩擦抵抗が小さなものとなる。また、被接触部１２は可動部材１０の移動方向に向かうように傾斜したものであるから、接触時に被接触部１２と接触部２２の一方から他方に作用する抗力が小さくなり、被接触部１２と接触部２２の間に生じる摩擦抵抗が小さなものとなる。このように、本実施形態では、被接触部１２と接触部２２の間に生じる摩擦抵抗が小さくなるように設定されているから、接触部２２によって可動部材１０の移動が阻害されず、可動部材１０の滑らかな移動が実現できる。また、可動部材１０が可動することによって発生する接触が繰り返されることよる被接触部１２や接触部２２の摩耗も抑制される。 Further, the bending condition of the locus (trajectory line C1) of the displaced contact portion 22 is looser than the bending condition of the contact arc C2 which is the peripheral surface of the rotating portion 222 (the locus line C1 has a curvature more than the contact arc C2). (Small) (see FIG. 6), the drag acting from one of the contacted portion 12 and the contacted portion 22 to the other at the time of contact becomes small, and the frictional resistance generated between the contacted portion 12 and the contacted portion 22 becomes small. .. Further, since the contacted portion 12 is inclined so as to move in the moving direction of the movable member 10, the drag force acting on one to the other of the contacted portion 12 and the contacted portion 22 at the time of contact becomes small, and the contacted portion 12 The frictional resistance generated between the contact portion 22 and the contact portion 22 becomes small. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the frictional resistance generated between the contacted portion 12 and the contact portion 22 is set to be small, the movement of the movable member 10 is not hindered by the contact portion 22, and the movable member is not hindered. A smooth movement of 10 can be realized. In addition, wear of the contacted portion 12 and the contacted portion 22 due to repeated contact generated by the movement of the movable member 10 is also suppressed.

以下、上記実施形態にかかる遊技機１を改良、変形、具体化等した具体例について説明する。なお、以下の具体例を用いて説明する技術的事項を複数組み合わせて適用した構成としてもよい。 Hereinafter, specific examples in which the gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment has been improved, modified, and embodied will be described. In addition, a configuration may be configured in which a plurality of technical matters described with reference to the following specific examples are applied in combination.

○第一具体例
上記実施形態では、接触部２２はベース部材２０に設けられたものであることを説明したが、それ以外の部材（動かないように固定された部材）に設けられたものとしてもよい。ただし、上記実施形態のように、ベース部材２０は可動部材１０を誘導する誘導部２１が形成されたものであり、可動部材１０はベース部材２０に対して変位する（ベース部材２０を基準として変位する）ものであるといえるから、当該ベース部材２０に接触部２２を設けることで、可動部材１０（被接触部１２）と接触部２２の相対的な位置関係がずれにくいといった利点がある。つまり、接触部２２がベース部材２０以外の部材に設けられる構成とすると、組立誤差等により被接触部１２と接触部２２の位置関係が目論見通りのものとならないおそれがあるところ、上記実施形態のようにベース部材２０に接触部２２を設けることで、被接触部１２と接触部２２の位置関係が目論見通りのものとなり、上述した接触部２２の機能がより確実に担保されるという利点がある。 ○ First Specific Example In the above embodiment, it has been explained that the contact portion 22 is provided on the base member 20, but it is assumed that the contact portion 22 is provided on other members (members fixed so as not to move). May be good. However, as in the above embodiment, the base member 20 is formed with an guiding portion 21 for guiding the movable member 10, and the movable member 10 is displaced with respect to the base member 20 (displacement with respect to the base member 20). Therefore, by providing the contact portion 22 on the base member 20, there is an advantage that the relative positional relationship between the movable member 10 (contacted portion 12) and the contact portion 22 is unlikely to be displaced. That is, if the contact portion 22 is provided on a member other than the base member 20, the positional relationship between the contact portion 12 and the contact portion 22 may not be as intended due to an assembly error or the like. By providing the contact portion 22 on the base member 20 as described above, the positional relationship between the contact portion 12 and the contact portion 22 becomes as intended, and there is an advantage that the function of the contact portion 22 described above is more reliably secured. ..

○第二具体例
上記実施形態では、可動部材１０に被接触部１２が設けられ、ベース部材２０に接触部２２が設けられていることを説明したが、可動部材１０に接触部２２が設けられ、ベース部材２０に被接触部１２が設けられた構成としてもよい。すなわち、回転部分２２２を有する接触部２２が可動部材１０に設けられ、当該回転部分２２２が接触する部分が被接触部１２に設けられた構成としてもよい。ただし、可動部材１０は演出効果を発現するものであるため、当該可動部材１０には演出効果を高めるための部分（装飾機能を発現する部分）以外の部分はできるだけ排除されるべき（遊技者には見えないようにされるべき）であると考えるのであれば、上記実施形態のようにすることが望ましいといえる。つまり、演出に関係がない回転部分２２２は可動部材１０には設けず、遊技者には視認できないまたは視認困難なベース部材２０に設けることが望ましいといえる。また、接触部２２は可動部材１０に生じる衝撃を和らげるためのものであるから、当該接触部２２が安定した状態で設けられているとよい。したがって、上記実施形態のように、遊技機１の本体側に固定された部材であるベース部材２０に接触部２２が設けられていることが望ましい。 Second Specific Example In the above embodiment, it has been described that the movable member 10 is provided with the contacted portion 12 and the base member 20 is provided with the contact portion 22, but the movable member 10 is provided with the contact portion 22. , The base member 20 may be provided with the contacted portion 12. That is, the contact portion 22 having the rotating portion 222 may be provided on the movable member 10, and the portion in contact with the rotating portion 222 may be provided on the contacted portion 12. However, since the movable member 10 exerts an effect of effect, the movable member 10 should be excluded as much as possible from the part other than the part for enhancing the effect of effect (the part that exhibits the decorative function) (for the player). Should be made invisible), it is desirable to do as in the above embodiment. That is, it can be said that it is desirable that the rotating portion 222, which is not related to the effect, is provided on the movable member 10 but on the base member 20 which is invisible or difficult for the player to see. Further, since the contact portion 22 is for softening the impact generated on the movable member 10, it is preferable that the contact portion 22 is provided in a stable state. Therefore, it is desirable that the contact portion 22 is provided on the base member 20 which is a member fixed to the main body side of the game machine 1 as in the above embodiment.

○第三具体例
可動部材１０の動作態様は上記実施形態にて説明した態様に限られるものではない。例えば、可動部材１０が直線状に動作するものであってもよい。図７に示すように、可動部材１０が左右方向に沿って直線状に動作するものとする。当該可動部材１０が原位置に位置するときには、当該可動部材１０（被接触部１２）の下側に接触部２２が位置するようにする。これにより、原位置に位置する可動部材１０が下方にずり下がってしまうことが防止される。また、可動部材１０が接触位置に位置したときには、接触部２２に接触し、それに伴って接触部２２が回転するようにする。可動部材１０が原位置を含む所定範囲にあるとき、可動部材１０（被接触部１２）と接触部２２が接触するようにする（当該所定範囲を接触位置として設定する）ことが考えられる。 ○ Third Specific Example The operation mode of the movable member 10 is not limited to the mode described in the above embodiment. For example, the movable member 10 may operate linearly. As shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the movable member 10 operates linearly along the left-right direction. When the movable member 10 is located in the original position, the contact portion 22 is located below the movable member 10 (contacted portion 12). As a result, the movable member 10 located at the original position is prevented from sliding downward. Further, when the movable member 10 is located at the contact position, it comes into contact with the contact portion 22, and the contact portion 22 is rotated accordingly. When the movable member 10 is in a predetermined range including the original position, it is conceivable that the movable member 10 (contacted portion 12) and the contact portion 22 come into contact with each other (the predetermined range is set as the contact position).

○第四具体例
上記実施形態では、可動部材１０が原位置から演出位置に向かってわずかに変位した位置が、被接触部１２と接触部２２が接触する接触位置として設定されていることを説明したが、当該接触位置は適宜変更可能である。つまり、原位置から演出位置の間のどこかの位置が接触位置として設定されていればよい。例えば、原位置自体を接触位置とした設定としてもよい。 Fourth Specific Example In the above embodiment, it is explained that the position where the movable member 10 is slightly displaced from the original position toward the effect position is set as the contact position where the contacted portion 12 and the contact portion 22 come into contact with each other. However, the contact position can be changed as appropriate. That is, any position between the original position and the effect position may be set as the contact position. For example, the original position itself may be set as the contact position.

ただし、上記実施形態のように、原位置から演出位置に向かってわずかに変位した位置を接触位置として設定することで、接触部２２を、原位置に位置する可動部材１０の「受け」としての機能を担保しつつ、原位置に向かう可動部材１０をきちんと原位置に戻す機能がより効果的に発現されるものとなる。具体的には、後者の機能を発現させるためには、可動部材１０が原位置に戻るよりも前に被接触部１２と接触部２２が接触するようにする必要があるところ、当該接触は可動部材１０が変位している最中に生じるものであるから、その際に当該接触時の摩擦抵抗を小さくするため、接触部２２に回転部分２２２を設ける意義があるといえる。つまり、原位置自体が接触位置であるとすると、基本的には可動部材１０が原位置に戻るよりも前に被接触部１２と接触部２２の接触は発生しない（ガタ等が生じているような場合を除く）のであるから、接触部２２に回転部分２２２を設ける意義が低いといえる。 However, as in the above embodiment, by setting the position slightly displaced from the original position toward the effect position as the contact position, the contact portion 22 can be used as a "receiver" of the movable member 10 located at the original position. The function of properly returning the movable member 10 toward the original position to the original position while ensuring the function is more effectively exhibited. Specifically, in order to exert the latter function, it is necessary to bring the contacted portion 12 and the contacted portion 22 into contact with each other before the movable member 10 returns to the original position, but the contact is movable. Since it occurs while the member 10 is being displaced, it can be said that it is meaningful to provide the rotating portion 222 in the contact portion 22 in order to reduce the frictional resistance at the time of the contact. That is, assuming that the original position itself is the contact position, basically, the contact portion 12 and the contact portion 22 do not come into contact with each other before the movable member 10 returns to the original position (it seems that play occurs. Therefore, it can be said that the significance of providing the rotating portion 222 on the contact portion 22 is low.
