FLASHLIGHT GENERATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that a xenon lamp giving off strong flash light is not put to practical use because of problems of its electric noise generation and concern about its harmful effects to the eyes of game players, though patents are applied and studied for its application for more effective performance of a game machine such as a Pachinko machine.SOLUTION: A xenon lamp and parts necessary for activating the xenon lamp are mounted on a printed board. In this manner, a region where electrical noise is generated because of a high voltage generated by a trigger transformer is reduced. Also, a small-capacity ceramic capacitor is used as a capacitor for discharge. This makes the same smaller, reduces the flashlight energy and reduces the harmful effects to the eyes. Further, the flashlight is made to pass through a translucent ultraviolet absorbing member in order to prevent ultraviolet rays from directly entering the eye.
