Description

本発明は、照明装置を備えた遊技機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a lighting device.

代表的な遊技機であるパチンコ機は、前後に開口する矩形枠状に形成されて遊技店の設置枠台に固定される固定枠としての外枠と、該外枠に対して開閉可能に支持されて遊技盤を着脱可能に保持する本体枠としての中枠と、該中枠の前側に開閉可能に支持されてパチンコ機前面を装飾すると共に遊技盤を透視保護する装飾枠としての前枠とを基本的に備えている。またパチンコ機では、前記遊技盤の盤面に画成した遊技領域の略中央位置に枠状の装飾部材(所謂センター役物)が配設されて、該装飾部材の開口から液晶式やドラム式等の図柄表示装置を臨ませ、この図柄表示装置で図柄変動に伴うリーチ演出等の各種の遊技演出を行なうよう構成されている。   A pachinko machine, which is a typical gaming machine, is formed in a rectangular frame shape that opens to the front and back, and is supported by an outer frame as a fixed frame that is fixed to an installation frame base of a game store, and can be opened and closed with respect to the outer frame. A middle frame as a main body frame that holds the game board in a detachable manner, and a front frame as a decoration frame that is supported on the front side of the middle frame so as to be openable and closable, decorates the front of the pachinko machine, and protects the game board from perspective Is basically equipped. Further, in the pachinko machine, a frame-shaped decorative member (so-called center accessory) is disposed at a substantially central position of the game area defined on the board surface of the game board, and a liquid crystal type, a drum type, etc. are provided from the opening of the decorative member. The symbol display device is faced, and the symbol display device is configured to perform various game effects such as a reach effect accompanying a symbol variation.

前記パチンコ機では、前枠に形成された遊技盤が臨む窓口の周縁部に、光透過性の化粧板が配設されると共に、該化粧板の後側にＬＥＤ等の発光体を備えた照明装置が配設されており、図柄表示装置で行なわれる遊技演出に合わせて照明装置を点灯したり点滅することで、遊技の臨場感や興趣を高めるようにしている(例えば、特許文献１参照)。   In the pachinko machine, a light-transmitting decorative board is disposed at the peripheral edge of the window facing the game board formed on the front frame, and a light source such as an LED is provided behind the decorative board. The device is arranged, and the lighting device is turned on or blinking in accordance with the game effect performed on the symbol display device, thereby enhancing the realism and interest of the game (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .

特開２０００−５３８４号公報JP 2000-5384 A

特許文献１に開示のパチンコ機では、前枠の前側に配設される化粧板が平面的であるため、立体的な発光演出を行なうことができず、発光演出による充分な興趣の向上は望めなかった。そこで、化粧板を前方に膨出する立体形状とすることで、インパクトのある発光演出を行ない得るようにすることが考えられる。しかしながら、化粧板を立体形状にすると、前枠の縁部前面に配設される発光体と、化粧板における発光体の光照射方向と交差する内面との離間距離が部位によって異なることとなり、化粧板の全体を均一に照明することができなくなって装飾効果が低下してしまう。また、照明装置の発光体を化粧板の内面に対向する構成では、点光となって見栄えが低下する問題を招く。   In the pachinko machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, the decorative board disposed on the front side of the front frame is flat, so that a three-dimensional light emission effect cannot be performed, and a sufficient improvement in the light emission effect can be expected. There wasn't. Therefore, it is conceivable that a light emitting effect with impact can be performed by making the decorative plate a three-dimensional shape that bulges forward. However, when the decorative board is made into a three-dimensional shape, the distance between the light emitter disposed on the front surface of the edge of the front frame and the inner surface of the decorative board intersecting with the light irradiation direction of the light emitter differs depending on the part. It becomes impossible to illuminate the whole board uniformly, and the decoration effect will fall. Moreover, in the structure which opposes the light-emitting body of an illuminating device with the inner surface of a decorative board, the problem which becomes a spotlight and the appearance falls is caused.

すなわち本発明は、従来の技術に内在する前記問題に鑑み、これらを好適に解決するべく提案されたものであって、立体的な形状によりインパクトのある発光演出を行ない得る遊技機を提供することを目的とする。   That is, the present invention has been proposed in order to suitably solve these problems inherent in the prior art, and provides a gaming machine capable of performing a light-emitting effect with impact by a three-dimensional shape.

次に、前述のように構成された実施例に係るパチンコ機１０の作用につき説明する。 (Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

前記遊技領域１２ａに打ち出されたパチンコ球が始動入賞装置２８に入賞すると、前記図柄表示装置１４で図柄が変動開始され、所要の図柄変動演出が行なわれる。前記図柄表示装置１４で行なわれる図柄変動演出の結果、図柄表示装置１４の表示部に所定の図柄組合わせで図柄が停止表示されたときに大当りが発生する。そして、大当りが発生すると、図柄表示装置１４の表示部に表示された図柄組み合わせに応じて、前記特別入賞装置２９の入賞口が開放され、遊技者は多くの賞球が獲得可能となる。   When the pachinko ball launched into the game area 12a wins the start winning device 28, the symbol display device 14 starts changing the symbol, and the required symbol changing effect is performed. As a result of the symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 14, a big hit occurs when symbols are stopped and displayed on the display unit of the symbol display device 14 in a predetermined symbol combination. When a big hit occurs, the winning opening of the special winning device 29 is opened according to the symbol combination displayed on the display unit of the symbol display device 14, and the player can acquire many prize balls.

前記パチンコ機１０では、前記図柄表示装置１４で行なわれる図柄変動演出に応じて、前記各照明装置４０,４１,４２が発光されたり点滅され、前記窓口１５ａの外周において行なわれる発光による演出により遊技の興趣が向上される。またパチンコ機１０では、遊技者が遊技を行なっていない客待ち状態においても、前記各照明装置４０,４１,４２を発光したり点滅することで、遊技店内の客の注意を惹いて当該パチンコ機１０で遊技を行なうことを促している。   In the pachinko machine 10, the lighting devices 40, 41, 42 are lit or blinked in accordance with the symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 14, and the game is produced by the effect by the light emission performed on the outer periphery of the window 15a. The interest is improved. In the pachinko machine 10, even when the player is not playing a game, the lighting devices 40, 41, 42 emit light or blink to attract the attention of the customers in the game store. 10 is encouraged to play games.

実施例のパチンコ機１０は、図１に示す如く、前記前枠１５の窓口１５ａを囲う左右両側および上側に取り付けられた３つの装飾カバー４３,４４,４５が、何れも前方へ膨出する立体的な形状に形成されている。また、第１〜第３装飾カバー４３,４４,４５の前端部は、窓口１５ａの左下部側から左上隅部を経て右上隅部に向かうにつれて徐々に前方へ変位すると共に、該右上隅部から右下部に向かうにつれて徐々に後方へ変位している。すなわち、前枠１５の前側の形態が立体的でかつ左右非対称で遊技者の注意を惹くことができるデザインとなっているので、他機種との差別化を図ることができる。   As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a three-dimensional structure in which three decorative covers 43, 44, 45 attached to both the left and right sides and the upper side surrounding the window 15a of the front frame 15 bulge forward. It is formed in a typical shape. Further, the front end portions of the first to third decorative covers 43, 44, 45 are gradually displaced forward from the lower left side of the window 15a through the upper left corner toward the upper right corner, and from the upper right corner. It gradually shifts backward as it goes to the lower right. That is, since the front side of the front frame 15 is three-dimensional and asymmetrical and has a design that can attract the player's attention, it can be differentiated from other models.

また、図２１に示す如く、前記前枠１５の左側に位置する第１装飾カバー４３に対して右側に位置する第３装飾カバー４５の前方への突出寸法を大きくし、かつ該第３装飾カバー４５の外側面に、図１に示すように透光性部６１ｂが形成されて、前記第３照明装置４２の発光により透光性部６１ｂが明輝するようになっている。従って、遊技を行なう遊技機を探している客の注意を惹いて集客力を向上し得る。また、第３装飾カバー４５における透光性部６１ｂが形成される面は平坦であるので見易く、かつ該透光性部６１ｂは非透光性部６１ａで囲われているので明輝した場合には目立ち、注目度を高めることができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the third decorative cover 45 located on the right side has a larger protruding dimension than the first decorative cover 43 located on the left side of the front frame 15, and the third decorative cover is arranged. As shown in FIG. 1, a translucent part 61 b is formed on the outer surface of 45, and the translucent part 61 b is brightened by the light emitted from the third illumination device 42. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the ability to attract customers by attracting the attention of customers who are looking for gaming machines for performing games. Further, the surface on which the translucent portion 61b is formed in the third decorative cover 45 is flat so that it is easy to see, and the translucent portion 61b is surrounded by the non-translucent portion 61a so that it is bright. You can stand out and increase your attention.

また、実施例のパチンコ機１０では、前記中枠１３に対して前枠１５を開閉するためのヒンジ機構３９が配設される第１側枠部３７に取り付けられる第１装飾カバー４３の前方への突出寸法を低く抑えているのに対し、反対側の第２側枠部３８に取り付けられる第３装飾カバー４５の前方への突出寸法を大きくしている。これにより、インパクトのあるデザインを採用しつつ前枠１５を開放する際に装飾カバーが邪魔となることなく該前枠１５を大きく開放することができ、良好なメンテナンス性を維持し得る。   Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, to the front of the first decorative cover 43 attached to the first side frame portion 37 in which the hinge mechanism 39 for opening and closing the front frame 15 with respect to the middle frame 13 is disposed. The projection dimension of the third decorative cover 45 attached to the second side frame portion 38 on the opposite side is increased, while the projection dimension of the third decoration cover 45 is increased. Accordingly, when the front frame 15 is opened while adopting an impact design, the front frame 15 can be largely opened without obstructing the decorative cover, and good maintainability can be maintained.

(第１装飾カバー４３での明輝態様)
前記第１照明装置４０の第１発光体４０ｂを発光すると、該第１発光体４０ｂの光は、前記第１装飾カバー４３を構成する第１基体４６に向けて照射される。第１基体４６において、下部に位置する平部４６ａは、図５,図９に示す如く、光拡散部４６ｅを除く部位が非透光性の第１被覆部材４７で覆われているので、該第１被覆部材４７の開口部４７ａから露出する光拡散部４６ｅ,４６ｅが明輝することで興趣のある演出が期待できる。しかも、光拡散部４６ｅの裏側には第１光拡散部材４３ａが配設されると共に、光拡散部４６ｅおよび第１光拡散部材４３ａによる明輝度合が異なる光拡散処理を施してあるので、興趣の高い発光演出を行ない得る。 (Brightness of the first decorative cover 43)
When the first light emitter 40 b of the first lighting device 40 emits light, the light of the first light emitter 40 b is irradiated toward the first base 46 constituting the first decorative cover 43. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, the flat portion 46a located in the lower portion of the first base body 46 is covered with a non-translucent first covering member 47 except for the light diffusion portion 46e. An interesting effect can be expected when the light diffusion portions 46e, 46e exposed from the opening 47a of the first covering member 47 become bright. In addition, the first light diffusing member 43a is disposed on the back side of the light diffusing portion 46e, and the light diffusing treatment with different brightness levels by the light diffusing portion 46e and the first light diffusing member 43a is performed. High luminous performance can be performed.

また、前記第１装飾カバー４３では、前記下突出部４６ｂと上突出部４６ｃとの間に、第２被覆部材４８を配設しているので、前記第１発光体４０ｂからの光が直接照射される両突出部４６ｂ,４６ｃでの明輝態様と、前記段部４６ｄを透過した後に第２被覆部材４８に照射される光での明輝態様とが異なる。すなわち、第１装飾カバー４３において、明輝態様が異なる複数の領域を設けてあるので、全体が同じ形態で明輝する場合に比べて演出効果を向上することができる。   In the first decorative cover 43, since the second covering member 48 is disposed between the lower protruding portion 46b and the upper protruding portion 46c, the light from the first light emitter 40b is directly irradiated. The bright mode at the two projecting portions 46b and 46c is different from the bright mode with the light applied to the second covering member 48 after passing through the step 46d. In other words, since the first decorative cover 43 is provided with a plurality of regions having different brightness modes, the effect can be improved as compared with the case where the entire brightness is the same.

(第２装飾カバー４４での明輝態様)
前記第２照明装置４１の第２発光体４１ｂを発光すると、該第２発光体４１ｂの光は、前記第２装飾カバー４４を構成する第２基体４９に向けて照射される。前記第２発光体４１ｂの前側には、図１４に示す如く、上光拡散部５３ｃが位置しているので、該上光拡散部５３ｃに向けて照射された光は、広範囲に亘って拡散し、前記窓口１５ａの上部側を左右方向に亘って好適に発光装飾することができる。また、上光拡散部５３ｃのレンズ作用によって後側から照射される第２発光体４１ｂからの光を収束させることで、各上光拡散部５３ｃにおいて強い光を前部に導びいて前端部側を強く明輝させ得る。更に、第２基体４９の前側には、透明な第３被覆部材５４が位置しているので、該第３被覆部材５４を透かして奥側で第２基体４９が明輝することで、奥行きのある発光演出ができ、興趣を向上し得る。なお、第２基体４９の下部後端縁、すなわち前記透視保護板１５ｂに近接する縁部に非透光性の縁部用装飾部品５６を配設してあるので、第２発光体４１ｂの光が透視保護板１５ｂに写り込むのを防ぐことができ、遊技盤１２や図柄表示装置１４の表示部が前側から視認し難くなるのを防止し得る。 (Brightness of the second decorative cover 44)
When the second light emitter 41 b of the second illumination device 41 emits light, the light of the second light emitter 41 b is irradiated toward the second base 49 that constitutes the second decorative cover 44. As shown in FIG. 14, the upper light diffusing portion 53c is located on the front side of the second light emitter 41b, so that the light irradiated toward the upper light diffusing portion 53c is diffused over a wide range. The upper side of the window 15a can be suitably decorated in the left-right direction. Further, by converging the light from the second light emitter 41b irradiated from the rear side by the lens action of the upper light diffusion portion 53c, strong light is guided to the front portion in each upper light diffusion portion 53c, and the front end portion side. Can be brightened. Further, since the transparent third covering member 54 is located on the front side of the second base 49, the second base 49 is bright on the back side through the third covering member 54, so that there is a depth. A lighting effect can be made, and the interest can be improved. Since the non-translucent edge decorative component 56 is disposed at the lower rear edge of the second base 49, that is, the edge close to the see-through protective plate 15b, the light of the second light emitter 41b is disposed. Can be prevented from appearing on the fluoroscopy protection plate 15b, and the display part of the game board 12 and the symbol display device 14 can be prevented from becoming difficult to visually recognize from the front side.

(第３装飾カバー４５での明輝態様)
前記第３照明装置４２の第３発光体４２ｂを発光すると、該第３発光体４２ｂの光は、前記第３装飾カバー４５に内部画成された収容空間Ｓに収容されている第２光拡散部材６４の内部に向けて照射される。第２光拡散部材６４の前記光拡散内壁部６５に向けて照射された光は、該光拡散内壁部６５に対して斜めに当ることで、一部が反射すると共に一部が壁部内に入射する。この光拡散内壁部６５の内面には、図１７および図１９に示す如く、第１光拡散部６５ｃが前後方向に延在しているから、壁部内に入射した光は内部で多重反射することで前端部側まで導かれる。そして、光を前端部側まで導くことができる第１光拡散部６５ｃが上下方向に並列に設けられているので、前記第３発光体４２ｂが発光した際には、光拡散内壁部６５の全体を略均等に明輝することができる。従って、光拡散内壁部６５の外側に位置する第３装飾カバー４５の内壁部材５９の全体を略均等に明輝することができる。すなわち、第３装飾カバー４５を立体的に形成して後端部側に第３発光体４２ｂを配置した構成であっても、第３装飾カバー４５の内壁部材５９の全体を均一に明輝させることができる。従って、発光体の光が点光となることもなく、良好な見栄えを維持しつつインパクトのあるデザインにより注目を惹ことができる。 (Brightness of the third decorative cover 45)
When the third light emitter 42 b of the third lighting device 42 emits light, the light from the third light emitter 42 b is accommodated in the accommodation space S defined in the third decorative cover 45. Irradiation is directed toward the inside of the member 64. The light irradiated toward the light diffusion inner wall 65 of the second light diffusing member 64 strikes the light diffusion inner wall 65 obliquely, so that a part of the light is reflected and a part of the light enters the wall. To do. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 19, since the first light diffusion portion 65c extends in the front-rear direction on the inner surface of the light diffusion inner wall portion 65, the light incident on the wall portion is internally reflected multiple times. At the front end. And since the 1st light-diffusion part 65c which can guide light to the front-end part side is provided in parallel with the up-down direction, when the said 3rd light-emitting body 42b light-emits, the whole light-diffusion inner wall part 65 is provided. Can be brightened substantially evenly. Therefore, the entire inner wall member 59 of the third decorative cover 45 located outside the light diffusion inner wall portion 65 can be illuminated substantially equally. That is, even if the third decorative cover 45 is formed in three dimensions and the third light emitter 42b is arranged on the rear end side, the entire inner wall member 59 of the third decorative cover 45 is uniformly brightened. Can do. Therefore, the light from the illuminant does not become a spotlight, and attention can be drawn by an impact design while maintaining a good appearance.

前記第２光拡散部材６４の光拡散外壁部６６には、前記第１光拡散部６５ｃとは延在方向が交差する上下方向に延在する第２光拡散部６６ａを前後方向に並列に設けているので、第３発光体４２ｂから照射された光や前記光拡散内壁部６５で反射された光が、該光拡散外壁部６６内に導入されて各第２光拡散部６６ａで多重反射することで広範囲に亘って拡散する。すなわち、実施例では、第３発光体４２ｂから光が照射される第２光拡散部材６４における向い合う光拡散内壁部６５と光拡散外壁部６６とに、延在方向が交差(直交)する光拡散部６５ｃ,６６ａを並列に設けたので、第３発光体４２ｂからの光を前後方向および上下方向に拡散することができ、光拡散内壁部６５および光拡散外壁部６６をムラなく均一に明輝することができる。言い替えれば、第２光拡散部材６４を収容した第３装飾カバー４５の内壁部材５９および外壁部材６１に、前記第３発光体４２ｂからの離間距離が異なる領域があっても、該第３発光体４２ｂの光によって内壁部材５９および外壁部材６１を均一に明輝することができる。更に、光拡散内壁部６５に設けた第１光拡散部６５ｃのレンズ効果によって光拡散外壁部６６で反射した光を収束させて強く明輝させることができ、第３発光体４２ｂから離間した前端部側においても内壁部材５９をムラなく明輝することができる。   The light diffusing outer wall 66 of the second light diffusing member 64 is provided with a second light diffusing portion 66a extending in the up-down direction in parallel with the first light diffusing portion 65c in parallel in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the light emitted from the third light emitter 42b and the light reflected by the light diffusing inner wall 65 are introduced into the light diffusing outer wall 66 and are multiple-reflected by the second light diffusing portions 66a. This spreads over a wide area. That is, in the embodiment, the light in which the extending direction intersects (orthogonally) the facing light diffusion inner wall portion 65 and the light diffusion outer wall portion 66 in the second light diffusion member 64 irradiated with light from the third light emitter 42b. Since the diffusion portions 65c and 66a are provided in parallel, the light from the third light emitter 42b can be diffused in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction, and the light diffusion inner wall portion 65 and the light diffusion outer wall portion 66 are uniformly brightened uniformly. can do. In other words, even if the inner wall member 59 and the outer wall member 61 of the third decorative cover 45 that accommodates the second light diffusing member 64 have regions with different separation distances from the third light emitter 42b, the third light emitter. The inner wall member 59 and the outer wall member 61 can be uniformly brightened by the light of 42b. Furthermore, the light reflected by the light diffusion outer wall portion 66 can be focused and brightened by the lens effect of the first light diffusion portion 65c provided on the light diffusion inner wall portion 65, and the front end portion separated from the third light emitter 42b. Even on the side, the inner wall member 59 can be brightened evenly.

従って、前記光拡散外壁部６６の外側に位置する前記外壁部材６１に形成された透光性部６１ｂは、全体が均一に明輝し、該透光性部６１ｂの見栄えを良好にし得る。また、光拡散外壁部６６と外壁部材６１との間に光拡散シート６７が位置しているので、該光拡散シート６７によって前記透光性部６１ｂはより均一に明輝する。すなわち、光拡散シート６７に当った光は広範囲に広がって該光拡散シート６７自体の全体が明輝することで、透光性部６１ｂも均一に明輝する。すなわち、パチンコ機１０において前方への突出寸法を大きくして注目を惹ことができる第３装飾カバー４５において、遊技を行なうパチンコ機１０を探している客の注目を透光性部６１ｂが均等に明輝することでより惹くことができる。また、第３装飾カバー４５における前記窓口１５ａ側に位置する内壁部材５９は透明であるので、該内壁部材５９を透かして奥側に見える光拡散内壁部６５の明輝態様により奥行きのある発光演出ができ、興趣を向上し得る。なお、内壁部材５９の後端縁、すなわち前記透視保護板１５ｂに近接する縁部に非透光性の縁部用装飾部品６２を配設してあるので、第３発光体４２ｂの光が透視保護板１５ｂに写り込むのを防ぐことができ、遊技盤１２や図柄表示装置１４の表示部が前側から視認し難くなるのを防止し得る。なお、光拡散シート６７の全体が明輝することで、前記光拡散内壁部６５も全体が明輝する効果を奏する。   Therefore, the translucent part 61b formed on the outer wall member 61 located outside the light diffusing outer wall part 66 can be uniformly bright as a whole, and can improve the appearance of the translucent part 61b. In addition, since the light diffusion sheet 67 is located between the light diffusion outer wall portion 66 and the outer wall member 61, the light transmissive portion 61 b is brightened more uniformly by the light diffusion sheet 67. That is, the light striking the light diffusing sheet 67 spreads over a wide range and the entire light diffusing sheet 67 itself shines brightly, so that the translucent portion 61b shines uniformly. That is, in the third decorative cover 45 that can attract attention by increasing the forward projecting dimension in the pachinko machine 10, the translucent part 61b evenly attracts the attention of the customer who is looking for the pachinko machine 10 to play a game. It can be attracted more by brightening. Further, since the inner wall member 59 located on the side of the window 15a in the third decorative cover 45 is transparent, a light emission effect with a depth is provided by the bright aspect of the light diffusing inner wall portion 65 seen through the inner wall member 59. Yes, it can improve interest. Since the non-translucent edge decorative component 62 is disposed at the rear edge of the inner wall member 59, that is, the edge close to the see-through protective plate 15b, the light of the third light emitter 42b is seen through. It can prevent that it reflects in the protection board 15b, and can prevent that the display part of the game board 12 or the symbol display apparatus 14 becomes difficult to visually recognize from the front side. In addition, when the whole light-diffusion sheet 67 shines, the said light-diffusion inner wall part 65 also has the effect that the whole shines.
