The movable accessory 30 is a collective form (character “abc” in this example) that has a certain meaning when a plurality of divided pieces 40, 50, 60 are gathered. 4 (a), FIG. 5 (a), etc.) and a distributed form (FIG. 4 (c), FIG. 5 (c), etc.) in which characters and the like are divided by separating each divided piece. The decorative body 31 is configured so as to freely return to its original shape.
The decorative body 31 has a plurality of divisions in which characters, figures, or codes in the collective form are divided along oblique cutting lines S1 and S2 that are inclined at a predetermined angle from a normal viewing posture (viewing direction, vertical direction in this example). It consists of pieces 40, 50, 60. The extending direction of the cutting line S1 and the cutting line S2 is not parallel, but is a crossing direction. Since each of the cutting lines S1 and S2 linearly divides the character string “abc” at irregular positions, it does not become a continuous character when the divided pieces 40, 50, and 60 are separated.
The cutting line S1 is a straight line extending in a direction rotated about 45 degrees counterclockwise with respect to the vertical direction, and is an image of a cutting line (straight line) formed when cutting with a sharp blade. The cutting line S2 is a straight line extending in a direction rotated about 45 degrees in the clockwise direction with respect to the vertical direction, and is an image of a cutting line formed when cutting with a sharp blade. In this example, the two cutting lines S1 and S2 extend in directions different by 90 degrees in a state where the lower end portions are close to each other.
The extending direction of the cutting lines S1 and S2 may be a vertical line direction.

The divided piece 40 is a fixed piece fixed to the center member 5 or the base body 70 fixed to the game board. The divided piece 50 is a first movable piece that is arranged adjacent to the fixed piece 40 and advances and retreats between a proximity position close to the fixed piece and a separated position spaced from the proximity position. The split piece 60 is a second movable piece that is disposed adjacent to the first movable piece 50 and advances and retreats between a proximity position close to the first movable piece and a separation position spaced apart from the proximity position.
The first movable piece 50 is fixed to a first movable base member 80 supported by the base body 70 so as to be able to advance and retreat in the inclination direction D2 shown in FIG. The first movable piece 50 and the first movable base member 80 are linearly driven back and forth in the inclination direction D2 by the base body 70 and the first drive mechanism 90 mounted across the first movable base member 80. The
The second movable piece 60 is configured to linearly advance and retract in the tilt direction D4 shown in FIG. 4C by the second drive mechanism 100 mounted on the first movable base member 80.
As shown in FIG. 5, the base body 70 includes a front cover 71 on the front surface, and a printed circuit board 76 and a decorative board 77 are sequentially assembled on the front surface of the front cover 71. Each space constituting the first drive mechanism 90 is accommodated in a space formed between the front surface of the base body 70 and the front cover 71. A back cover 78 is assembled to the back surface of the front cover 71.

The characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the moving direction D2 when the first movable piece 50 is separated from the fixed piece 40 and the moving direction D4 when the second movable piece 60 is separated from the first movable piece 50 are: Each of the cutting lines S1 and S2 is in a direction that is not parallel to the extending directions D1 and D3. Moreover, the end edge 40 a of the fixed piece 40 and the end edge 50 a of the first movable piece 50 are always parallel, and the other end edge 50 b of the first movable piece 50 and the end edge 60 a of the second movable piece 60. Is always parallel.
It is not essential to display characters, figures, patterns, or symbols on each of the divided pieces 40, 50, 60, and the outer outline and shape of each divided piece display characters, figures, symbols, etc. Also good.

Hereinafter, further description will be made based on the specific embodiments shown in the drawings.
The decorative body 31 constituting the movable accessory 30 is divided into a collective form (FIGS. 3, 4A and 5A) and a distributed form (FIG. c) and FIG. 5 (c)) can be moved back and forth and deformed.
3 and the like, the end edge 40a of the fixed piece 40 and the end edge 50a of the first movable piece 50 are in close contact, and the other end edge 50b of the first movable piece 50 and the second edge 50a. The movable piece 60 is in close contact with the end edge 60a. And "abc" which is the character drawn across the front surface of each division | segmentation piece 40, 50, 60 can be visually recognized as a continuous symbol. Each divided piece is configured and arranged such that the character “abc” is irregularly divided by the cutting lines S1 and S2.

Next, in the intermediate form shown in FIG. 4B and FIG. 5B, the first movable piece 50 and the second movable piece 60 are separated from the fixed piece 40 while being coupled. The moving direction of the first and second movable pieces at this time is not the extending direction D1 of the cutting line S1, but the inclined direction D2 shifted by a predetermined angle θ1 with respect to the extending direction D1. For this reason, the 1st and 2nd movable pieces 50 and 60 are largely separated with respect to the fixed piece 40, and give the impression which developed widely on the front surface of the game board.
Next, in the final dispersion mode shown in FIGS. 4C and 5C, the second movable piece 60 is separated from the first movable piece 50. The moving direction of the second movable piece 60 at this time is not the extending direction D3 of the cutting line S2, but the inclined direction D4 shifted by a predetermined angle θ2 with respect to the extending direction D3. For this reason, the second movable piece 60 is largely separated from the first movable piece 50 and gives an impression of being widely developed on the front surface of the game board.
Moreover, since the direction D2 in which the first movable piece 50 moves and the movement direction D4 of the second movable piece 60 in the intermediate form are shifted by approximately 90 degrees, the direction of change in the deformation operation becomes diverse, and the movable range. As a result, the unexpectedness at the time of deformation increases, and various changes can be given to the game content.
Characters or the like described on the surface of each divided piece (or the shape of each divided piece itself) are divided by each cutting line in the distributed form, and thus cannot be recognized as continuous characters.

Next, configuration examples of the first and second drive mechanisms will be described with reference to FIGS.
The first drive mechanism 90 is a means for separating the first and second movable pieces 50, 60 from the divided pieces 40, 50, 60 in the collective form or returning them to the initial position (collective form).

When the driven gear 93 is rotated forward and backward by the forward / reverse drive of the motor 91, the rack gear member 95 (first movable base member 80) moves forward and backward along the guide member 96 in the tilt direction D <b> 2.
A photo interrupter 97 is disposed near the upper end of the guide member 96 of the base body 70. The photo interrupter 97 has the rack gear member 95 at the initial position as shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 12 (a). Detect something.
A slit 71a is formed through the front cover 71 at a position corresponding to the movement path of the rack gear member 95. A pin protruding from the rack gear 95 is movably loosely fitted in the slit 71, thereby stabilizing the rack gear member. To guide you.

Next, the first movable base member 80 that supports the second drive mechanism 100 includes a front case piece 81, an intermediate case piece 82, and a rear case piece 83, as shown in FIG. The first movable piece 50 is fixed to the front surface of the front case piece 81.
The second drive mechanism 100 includes a motor 101 fixed on the back side of the first movable base member 80 and the inside of the first movable base member 80 (between the front case piece 81 and the intermediate case piece 82). A drive gear 102 that is rotatably supported and integrated with the output shaft of the motor, a driven gear 103 that is disposed adjacent to and is engaged with the drive gear 102, and an intermediate case piece. A pivot shaft (or a shaft hole) 105a provided at one end is passed between the swing piece 105 pivotally supported and the first movable base member 80 by a shaft support portion 82a provided on the front surface of 82. And a second second movable base member 111 that is guided by the two parallel guide rods 110 so as to advance and retreat in the inclined direction D4 by being inserted through an insertion hole 111a provided at one end. The second movable piece 60 is fixed to the second movable base member 111.
An arc-shaped slit 82b that guides the swing of the swing piece about the rotation shaft 105a by loosely fitting a pin provided on the back surface of the swing piece 105 to the intermediate case piece 82, and a second movable A straight slit 82c that guides the linear movement of the movable base member in the inclination direction D4 is formed by loosely fitting another pin of the base member 111. A part of the photo interrupter 85 protrudes forward from the hole 82d provided in the vicinity of the slit 82b, and the detected part provided in the swing piece 105 is detected. When the photointerrupter detects the position of the swing piece, the control means grasps the position of the second movable piece 60.

A pin 103a protrudes from the front surface of the driven gear 103 along the outer peripheral edge. The pin 103a is loosely fitted in a first long hole 105b provided in the swing piece 105, and the driven gear 103 is integrated with the one. In the process of rotating in the direction, it advances and retreats in the first slot. A second elongated hole 105c is formed at a position near the tip of the first elongated hole 105b, and a pin 111b provided on the rear surface of the distal end of the second movable base member 111 can advance and retreat in the second elongated hole 105c. Are loosely fitted.
When the motor 101 rotates the driven gear 103 in the clockwise direction of FIG. 8, the pin 103a moves rightward in the first elongated hole 105b, and the swinging piece 105 is rotated clockwise about the rotation shaft 105a. In order to swing in the direction, the second movable base member 111 in which the pin 111b is loosely fitted in the second elongated hole 105c moves along the guide rod 110 in the inclined direction D4 (downward).

Next, the operation of each drive mechanism will be described based on the front side explanatory view showing the operation of each drive mechanism in FIGS. 9 to 11 and the back side explanatory view showing the operation of each drive mechanism in FIGS. .
The procedure in which the movable accessory 30 is transformed from the assembled form (initial state) shown in FIGS. 9A and 12A to the distributed form shown in FIGS. 11E and 14E, and The operation of the drive mechanism will be described.
First, in the initial state, since the driven gear 93 constituting the first drive mechanism 90 holds the rack gear member 95 at the initial position as shown in the drawing, the first movable base member 80 does not protrude obliquely downward. At the non-projecting position, the positional relationship of the movable pieces 50 and 60 with respect to the fixed piece 40 is in the state shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 5 (a). At this time, in the second drive mechanism 100, the pin 103a of the driven gear 103 is positioned upward, so that the swing piece 105 is held at the highest position. The second movable base member 111 is also held at the highest position through a pin 111b loosely fitted in the second elongated hole 105c.
In this state, the characters “abc” are continuously visible as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 5 (a).

  Next, when the motor 91 constituting the first drive mechanism starts driving, and the driven gear 93 starts rotating in the clockwise direction in FIG. 9B (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 12B). Then, the rack gear member 95 having the rack gear portion 95a meshing with the driven gear 93 starts to move in the inclination direction indicated by D2. As the driven gear 93 continues to rotate in the same direction, the first and second movable pieces 50 and 60 (the first movable base member 80 and the second movable base member 111) move together. Then, the movement in the tilt direction D2 is completed at the position shown in FIG. 10C (FIG. 13C) (FIG. 4B). During this time, since the second drive mechanism 100 does not operate, the second movable pieces 50 and 60 are kept close to each other.

Next, in order to shift from the intermediate state of FIG. 4B and FIG. 5B to the distributed form of FIG. 4C and FIG. 5C, the control means starts operating the second drive mechanism 100. Let
In order to operate the second drive mechanism 100, the control means shifts to the state shown in FIG. 10 (c) and then drives the motor 101 to move the driven gear 103 clockwise (FIG. 13 (c)). c) counterclockwise direction). Then, the pin 103a of the driven gear moves to the right in the first elongated hole 105b, so that the swing piece 105 swings downward (clockwise in FIG. 10C) about the rotation shaft 105a. Then, the second movable base member 111 in which the pin 111b is loosely fitted in the second elongated hole 105c at the tip is lowered along the guide rod 110 in the inclination direction D4. By the operation of the second drive mechanism 100, the second movable piece 60 shifts to the distributed form of FIG. 11 (e) (FIG. 14 (e)) through the state of FIG. 10 (d) (FIG. 13 (d)). . At this time, when the photo interrupter 85 detects the detected portion provided on the swing piece 105, the control unit determines that the decorative body has shifted to the dispersed form, and stops the motor 101.

When shifting from the distributed form of FIGS. 11 (e) and 14 (e) to the collective form of FIGS. 9 (a) and 12 (a), the control means drives the motor 101 to show the driven gear 103. 11 (e) is rotated clockwise (counterclockwise in FIG. 14 (e)). As a result, the swing piece 105 is rotated upward about the rotation shaft 105a, and the second movable base member 111 is moved obliquely upward (inclination direction D4) along the guide rod 110, and FIG. ) (FIG. 13 (d)), the state is shifted to the state of FIG. 10 (c) (FIG. 13 (c)). When the photo interrupter 85 detects the detected portion provided on the swing piece 105, the control means knows that the second drive mechanism 100 has returned to the state of FIG. 10C (FIG. 13C). Then, the motor 101 is stopped.
Next, the control means drives the motor 91 in the reverse direction, and rotates the driven gear 93 in the counterclockwise direction of FIG. 10C (the clockwise direction of FIG. 13C), thereby causing the rack gear member 95 and the first movable gear. The base member 80 is started to rise obliquely upward (inclination direction D2). When the rack gear member 95 reaches the highest position in FIGS. 9A and 12A, the control means receives the detection signal from the photo interrupter 97 and stops the motor 91.

As described above, in the movable accessory of the present invention, a large shape change can be realized when the divided pieces 40, 50, 60 constituting the decorative body 31 are deformed from the collective form to the dispersed form. That is, the moving direction of the movable pieces 50, 60 with respect to the fixed piece 40 is an inclination direction D2 that is shifted from the extending direction D1 of the cutting line S1 by an angle θ1, and thus intersects the direction D1 in which the end edge 40a of the fixed piece 40 extends. The movable pieces 50 and 60 are separated in the direction, and the separation distance is increased. Similarly, since the moving direction of the second movable piece 60 with respect to the first movable piece 50 is an inclination direction D4 shifted by an angle θ2 from the extending direction D2 of the cutting line S2, the end of the first movable piece 50 is The second movable piece 60 is separated in the direction intersecting with the extending direction D3 of the edge 50b, and the separation distance is increased.
For this reason, while the collective form is compact, in the distributed form, it is possible to greatly expand the movable piece on the game board surface, diversify the direction of change in the deformation operation, and change the contents of the effects during the game. It becomes possible to diversify.
As described above, according to the present invention, by devising the advancing / retreating direction of each movable piece, it is possible to greatly change the overall shape of the movable accessory and enhance the effect.

In addition, the cutting line extends in a direction inclined from the normal viewing direction, while the moving direction of each movable piece is an inclined direction that intersects with the extending direction of the cutting line. The moving direction, the moving distance, the moving direction of the second movable piece relative to the first movable piece, and the moving distance are varied.
