果を得ることができる。FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a shaft 13 is supported on a fulcrum shaft 12 on the front surface of a plurality of light emitting diodes 5 mounted on a printed circuit board 6. As a result, the light diffusion lens 9 is provided so as to be able to swing, and an electric actuator 14 such as a solenoid is provided, and the engaging portion 1 formed on the operating shaft 15 is provided.
When the electric actuator is actuated and the operating shaft 15 moves forward and backward, the light diffusion lens 9 swings at the same time, whereby the degree of diffusion of light emitted from each light emitting diode 5 is increased. It is intended to change. As described above, by moving the light diffusion lens 9 by the electric actuator, the brightness of the translucent cover body 10 changes with time, and a unique electric decoration effect such that light flickers can be obtained.

できる。The irregularities for refracting the light of the light diffusing lens 9 and the porous cover body 10 are not limited to the stripe pattern, diamond cut, and grain shape of the above embodiment, but may be of various forms and various combinations. Can be assumed. Also,
The irregularities can be obtained by various shapes formed on the mold surface of the light diffusing lens 9 and the porous cover body 10, and a foaming agent is mixed when the light diffusing lens 9 and the porous cover body 10 are molded. Then, light can be diffused by bubbles inside. In addition, when various processes such as diamond cutting are performed on both the inner surface and the outer surface of the light diffusing lens, the light diffusivity can be improved as compared with only one surface. When the cut direction of the unevenness of the light diffusing lens is the same as the cut direction of the unevenness of the porous cover body, it is preferable that the cut width be different. Further, light may be diffused by setting the cut direction of the unevenness of the light diffusion lens and the cut direction of the unevenness of the porous cover body to be substantially perpendicular. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the light diffusing property is improved when the distance between the light source and the light diffusing lens is made wider than the distance between the light diffusing lens and the porous cover body. Further, although the light diffusion lens and the porous cover body are both made of colored transparent plastic, they may be made of colorless transparent plastic. In the case of colorless and transparent plastic, it is not limited to general light-emitting diodes.
It is also possible to color-code according to the game state such as during the probability change or when not in use. Further, the electric decoration device of the present invention is not limited to electric decoration of the glass frame of the pachinko machine shown in this embodiment, but may be provided on a game board, an accessory, and other game machine parts.
