[0024]
In the configuration of the first prior art and the second prior art described above, the position of the merging transport portion 2 matches the position corresponding to each sub transport path S in the front sub transport portion C and the rear sub transport portion C. The position of the front sub-transport path S and the position of the rear sub-transport path S vary depending on the width and layout conditions of the pachinko platform B of the pachinko platform device 500. Therefore, it is necessary to change the structure of the merging and conveying portion 2 in response to this change.
[0025]
For this reason, as shown in FIG. 17, a configuration in which the distance Lx in the direction of the main transport path M between the front side sub transport path S and the rear side sub transport path S can be changed (hereinafter referred to as third prior art). ) Is well known.
[0026]
In FIG. 17, the front side joining guide body 23F and the back side joining guide body 23R are formed symmetrically and are configured separately, and are moved along the main transport path M, respectively. Therefore, this movement can cope with a change in the positional deviation amount Lx between the front side sub-transport path S and the rear side sub-transport path S.
[0027]
The front merging guide 23F is continuous with the guide pieces 23A1 and 23A2 for guiding the thin piece 100 inserted into the merging / conveying portion from the sub-conveying portion C and the upstream side guiding piece 23A2, and the front side of the central guiding body 23Z described later And a guide piece 23D1 having a plane portion along the front side of the main transport path M, which is continuous with the downstream guide piece 23A1, and is provided continuously with the frame 41B1. Further, the rear merging guide body 23R is provided such that the guide pieces of the front merging guide body 23F are formed symmetrically and continuously with the frame 41B2.
[0028]
The frames 41B1 and 41B2 are respectively fixed screws (not shown) at positions moved along the main transport path M by guide protrusions 23F1 and 23R1 and guide grooves (not shown) inserted therein. Thus, it can be fixed to the substrate 41A.
[0029]
The central guide body 23Z is provided with two guide pieces 23E1 and 23E2 having a plane portion for guiding both surfaces of the thin piece 100 inserted into the joining and conveying portion from the opposed belt conveying mechanisms 45A and 45B of the main conveying path M. These are arranged between the front side joining guide body 23F and the rear side joining guide body 23R, and are fixed to the substrate 41A with fixing screws (not shown).
[0030]
Therefore, the merging guide bodies 23F and 23R and the central guiding body 23Z correspond to the merging / conveying portion 2 in the first prior art and the second prior art described above, but substantially the location of the main conveying path M. And the place of the merging and transporting are assembled on the substrate 41A.
[0031]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
According to the configuration of the third prior art described above, it is possible to cope with a change in the positional deviation between the front sub-transport path S and the rear sub-transport path S. However, as in the first prior art and the second prior art described above. In addition, since it is not configured as a unitized book like the merged transport part 2 and the main transport part 4, the length of the substrate 41 </ b> A with respect to the change in the distance L <b> 1 between the sub transport parts C. Must be changed and manufactured.
[0032]
Further, when the front side junction guide body 23F or the rear side junction guide body 23R is shifted to a position that is about the upstream movement limit, the front side junction guide body 23F or the rear side junction guide body 23R and the central guide body 23Z. Since there is no conveyance configuration of the thin piece 100 between the two, when the thin piece 100 as described above is stretched and inserted, it is folded at the original folding portion and the conveyance is blocked.
[0033]
Further, since the thin roller 25A must be moved together with the movement of the front merging guide 23F or the rear merging guide 23R at the merging point, a transmission mechanism (not shown) for driving the roller 25A is provided between the gears. It is necessary to configure a complicated gear mechanism that can change the distance of the belt, or to replace the belt of the belt-hanging transmission mechanism with a length corresponding to the moving position.
[0034]
When the opposing rollers 71A and 71B as shown in FIG. 14 are arranged in this configuration, the opposing rollers 71A and 71B are also moved in the same manner, so that the conduction mechanism (not shown) must be similarly complicated. There is an inconvenience that the apparatus cannot be provided in a simple and inexpensive configuration because it does not become a problem.
For this reason, there is a problem that it is desired to provide a flake conveying apparatus and a utilization apparatus thereof, for example, a pachinko taishima apparatus, which do not have such inconvenience.
[0035]
