Abstract
A symbol display device includes a stepping motor, a drive gear attached to a drive shaft of the stepping motor, a reduction gear meshing with the drive gear, and a reel fixed to the reduction gear. The stepping motor, the drive gear and the reduction gear are contained in the housing disposed in the reel. As a pitch radius of the reduction gear is set so as to be larger than that of the drive gear, a velocity of rotation of the reduction gear is lower than that of the drive gear. The stepping motor causes to rotate the reel with reduction of the rotational velocity.
Claims9
An symbol display device having a reel on whose periphery plural symbols are arranged, a stepping motor for rotating a reel, a rotation transmitting mechanism for transmitting a rotation of said stepping motor to said reel, said rotation transmitting mechanism comprising:
- a first rotational member attached to said stepping motor;
- a second rotational member for rotating said reel, a diameter of said second rotational member being larger than that of said first rotating member such that a rotational velocity may be reduced;
- and
- a housing containing said stepping motor, said first rotating member and said second rotating member and rotatably holding said second rotational member, said housing being disposed in said reel.
