Displaying device for game machines

Abstract

The displaying device for game machines, installing in a back side of a front member of the game machines, having the movable display body with means for indicating, capable of appearing selectively at the rear of a transparent plate of the front member, includes the movable display body which is supported switchably by a fixed member having a guided part or a guide piece; and the displaying means which is switched by a working piece provided at the side of the movable display body, capable of reciprocating, and one of the guide piece and the guided part, which are provided at the side of the movable display body, which engage with the guide piece or the guided part and move the working piece in concert. Therefore, each displaying surface of the displaying means does not back away from the transparent plate of the front member of the game machines even though the movable display body having displaying means rotates around the chassis.
