At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the upper end of the swing plate 68 contacts the regulation bar 66, so that the swing plate 68 does not swing more than necessary. When a predetermined time (a time slightly shorter than the rotation time of the motor 30 of the pulling unit 20 is set) elapses from such a non-chucking state, the motor 75 reversely rotates to rotate the rotation shaft. 70 also rotates in the opposite direction and rotates until the operating protrusion 72b turns on the switch 74b. When the rotation is stopped, the eccentric cam 71
Is pressing the back surface of the rocking plate 68,
The lower end of the swing plate 68 swings forward, and the chucking rubbers 64 and 69 facing each other bring the cloth belt 90 into a chucked state.

Next, the operation of the tensioning unit 20, the cloth belt mounting unit 50 and the chucking unit 62 having the above-mentioned constructions will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. First, the cloth belt 90 is used for the ball polishing and lifting device 10
Explain the work to attach to the tension unit 2
0 with the cover lid 32 of 0 and the opening / closing box 65 of the chucking unit 62 open, the cloth belt mounting shaft 58 of the new pre-use cloth belt roll 90a is dropped into the key groove 57 of the cloth belt mounting unit 50, and then the cloth belt. The tip of 90 is hung from the front of the chucking rubber 64 of the chucking unit 62 which is opened after passing through the upper part of the auxiliary roller 55, and then the cloth belt 90 is applied to the front surface of the cover plate 17 in the open state from the lower part to the upper part. The cloth belt 90 is hung down in front of the drive roller 25 in the opened state of the tension unit 20 and passed under the weight roller 60 and wound around the take-up roller 56 in the clockwise direction in FIG.

After the above-mentioned mounting is completed, first, the opening / closing box 65 of the chucking unit 62 is closed and the cloth belt 90 is secured by the pair of chucking rubbers 64 and 69.
Then, while strongly pulling the cloth belt 90 below the pulling unit 20, the cover lid 32 of the pulling unit 20 is closed and the locking handle 34 is rotated to disengage the locking piece 35 and the locking hole 36. Lock it. In this state, the drive roller 25 and the pressure contact rollers 38a and 38b are in pressure contact with the cloth belt 90. Then, after that, the excessively pulled out cloth belt 90 is wound around the winding roller 56. At this time, it is desirable to wind the weight roller 60 until it slightly floats so that the cloth belt 90 wound around the take-up roller 56 always has a tension. After the wearing of the cloth belt 90 is completed as described above, the cover plate 17 is closed and the fastening lever device 18 is hung so that the cloth belt 90 and the conveyor belt 14 face each other.

When the wearing of the new cloth belt 90 is completed as described above, the ball-polishing and lifting device 10 can be immediately operated to perform the ball-polishing operation. And
For example, in order to wind the cloth belt 90 after the day's business is completed, the cover door 32 of the tension unit 20 is opened by opening the open / close door of the ball polishing and lifting device storage portion 3 of the pachinko island stand 1.
The start switch 39 provided in the above is turned on. When the ON signal of the start switch 39 is derived, the control board 4
The control circuit formed in 1 performs the control as described below.

First, the motor 75 of the chucking unit 62 is rotationally driven to release the chucking states of the chucking rubbers 64 and 69 into a non-chucking state, and then a rotation command is given to the motor 30 of the tension unit 20. To do. By driving the motor 30 of the tension unit 20, the entire cloth belt 90 is pulled by the drive roller 25 and the pressure contact rollers 38a and 38b. When the cloth belt 90 is pulled, the auxiliary roller 55 of the cloth belt mounting unit 50 is rotated, and the winding roller 56 that is in contact with the auxiliary roller 55 is also rotated, so that the cloth belt 90 pulled by the tension unit 20 is wound by the winding roller. It is wound around 56. At this time, since the cloth belt 90 wound around the winding roller 56 is always wound by the weight roller 60 in a tensioned state,
There is no winding disorder. When a predetermined time (the time when the new cloth belt 90 is positioned on the front surface of the cover plate 17) elapses after the start of such a winding operation, first, the motor 75 of the chucking unit 62 moves in the reverse direction. It rotates and becomes a chucking state, and thereafter, the driving of the motor 30 of the tension unit 20 is stopped with a slight time lag. As a result, the work of winding the cloth belt 90 is completed, and such work is performed every day at the end of business. The cloth belt 90 has a length of about one week, assuming that the above work is performed every day.

As described above, the ball-polishing and lifting device 10 in this embodiment rotates the winding operation of the used cloth belt 90b around the winding roller 56 when the cloth belt 90 is pulled and moves. Since the winding roller 56 is rotated by being driven by the auxiliary roller 55, the structure is extremely simple, and the pulling operation and the winding operation of the cloth belt 90 are performed by the driving force of one motor 30. Therefore, the relationship between the pulling length and the winding length of the cloth belt 90 per unit time is always constant, and the weight roller 60 is
Since it is wound in a state where it is always tense, the cloth belt 90 can be wound up to the end without winding disorder.

In the above embodiment, the driving time of the motor 30 of the tension unit 20 is described as the time when the used surface of the cloth belt 90 is replaced with the unused surface. However, as a rule of thumb, the ball inlet 15 is contaminated. Is extremely terrible, so even if only that part is moved upward and used thereafter, sufficient ball polishing ability can be exhibited, so it may be set to half or one-third of the above time. Although the chucking rubbers 64 and 69 are illustrated as the chucking members of the chucking unit 62, they may be made of synthetic resin or another material as long as they exhibit a high frictional force.
Further, in the above embodiment, the cloth belt mounting unit 50 and the chucking unit 62 are integrated by the upper mounting frame 51 and the lower mounting frame plate 53 and mounted by the mounting brackets 83 and 84. You can put them on separately,
Alternatively, the pulling unit 20 may be integrated so that the three units can be integrally mounted.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the start switch 39 is operated to automatically perform the winding operation of the cloth belt 90 every day when the business is completed. A sensor to detect the degree of contamination of
The above-described operation may be performed when the sensor is turned on. Further, at this time, the inflow of balls into the ball inflow port 15 of the ball polishing and lifting device 10 is stopped, and the work of winding the cloth belt 90 is performed in a state where the pachinko balls are completely eliminated in the lifting device 10. Is desirable. Further, a sensor for detecting that the remaining amount of the unused cloth belt 90 is low may be provided, and when the sensor is activated, it may be notified (by visual or auditory) so that the clerk at the game hall can know. Furthermore, when replacing the old and new cloth belts, the tension unit 20 should be connected to the old and new cloth belts with special metal fittings.
A new cloth belt can be easily attached to the ball-polishing and lifting device 10 by pulling it around with. Further, the control board 4 is not provided for each pachinko island stand 1, but is provided at one place, and by operating at that place, the work of winding the cloth belts of all the ball-plucking and lifting devices 10 in the game hall can be performed. You may do it.
