According to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a cassette for a card delivery device according to claim 1, wherein the cassette is surrounded by five sides that are substantially halved in the dropping direction of the card, and a pair of one side are opened. The box-shaped cassette is configured by combining the structure so that the open surfaces of the structures are abutted, and further, by engaging an elastic locking portion formed on one structure with the other locking portion, A release hole is formed in the vicinity of the elastic locking portion.

According to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the cassette for a card dispensing apparatus according to the first and second preferred embodiments , the card in the cassette is pressed by an erection weight means.

According to a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the cassette for a card dispensing apparatus according to the third preferred embodiment , the step weight means moves in a card stacking direction by a predetermined amount with respect to the weight support body and the weight support body. It is characterized by comprising a weight body that can be attached, and a stepping means for allowing the weight support body to step with respect to the cassette.

According to a fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the card dispensing apparatus cassette according to the fourth preferred embodiment , the step weight means includes a movement locking protrusion, a fixed locking protrusion row and a weight body, and the movement locking projection forms a triangle that is more formed downward slope and an upward horizontal surface of the outward vertical standing side surfaces of the weight support member, said fixed retaining projection column is formed on the inner surface of the cassette, the outward engaging It has a downward sawtooth shape with triangular fixed locking projections formed by upward slopes and downward horizontal surfaces that engage with the projections in the vertical direction, and the weight body movably penetrates the bottom wall of the weight support body And a weight combined stopper arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the bottom wall.

According to a sixth preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a jig body for immovably mounting the cassette, an arc shape rotatably mounted on the jig, and proceeding to the release hole of the cassette by the rotation. And a plurality of release claws relatively disposed in the release hole so as to abut against the back surface of the elastic locking portion and elastically deform the card, and a card feeding mechanism for interlocking the plurality of release claws. It is a device dismantling device cassette.

In the first aspect of the present invention, the cards are stacked in the cassette, and the lowermost card is sent out by the card delivery device through the card outlet of the cassette.
The cassette is configured in a box shape surrounded by six sides by abutting and integrating the open surfaces of the first and second cassette structures surrounded by the five sides.
To loaded in cassette card, loading the card into the recess of the first cassette structure in the state in which the cassette constructs were bisected.
Thereafter, the second cassette structure integrated by engaging one of the engaging portion in the other of the engaging portion in a state that their open faces are butted to constitute a cassette.
At this time, the card restricting means protrudes into the cassette above the card outlet, and is located at a restricting position for preventing the stacked cards from moving to the card outlet.
Even when the cassette is erected to set the card delivery device, the card moves downward by its own weight and approaches the exit.
However, it is prevented from dropping by the card restricting means and cannot substantially move to a position facing the card exit.
The term “substantially” includes a state where the entire card is not opposed to the card exit and a state where a part of the card is opposed to the card exit but the card cannot be pulled out from the card exit.
As a result, the card is not substantially opposed to the card exit and therefore cannot be withdrawn from the card exit and cannot be obtained illegally.
Cassette cards are integrated by the engagement of the pair of locking portions, only if one of the engaging portion is moved from the inside outward, engagement and if the locking unit is released.
The one locking portion cannot be moved from the outside, and high security can be secured without using a locking device.
When the cassette of the card is mounted at a predetermined position of the card delivery device, the restricting means that restricts the movement of the card by the interlocking body is moved to the through position, and the card is moved to a position opposite to the card outlet.
Thereby, the card in the cassette can be sent out from the card outlet by the delivery device.
In this state, since the card can be sent out from the card exit only by the card delivery device, the card cannot be obtained illegally.
When the cassette is removed from the card delivery device, the restricting means is moved to the card movement path, in other words, to the card restriction position by the interlocking body.
Thereby, since the card is not opposed to the card exit, the card cannot be pulled out from the card exit.
Further, since the locking device is not provided, there is an advantage that the card is not illegally extracted due to unauthorized duplication of the key or fraud of the key manager.

In the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the restricting body is a plate-like body that is rotatable around the axis of the card, and is elastically biased so as to advance into the stacking area of the cards. .
Thereby, since the edge part of a control body is normally located in the stacking area of a card | curd, a card | curd cannot move to the position facing a card | curd exit.
As a result, the card is not illegally removed from the card exit.
Moreover, since it is a simple structure, there exists an advantage which can be comprised cheaply.

In the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cassette is integrated by abutting the open surfaces of the cassette structure surrounded by the five sides, which are approximately halved in the card drop direction, and engaging the locking portions. Constitutes a card holding section.
The locking portion can be released by moving from the inside to the outside of the cassette, and the releasing operation is extremely difficult from the outside.
Thereby, it is difficult to disassemble the cassette without a special jig, and it is possible to prevent the cassette from being illegally disassembled and removing only the specific card inside.

In a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, the card in the cassette is always pushed down by the stepping weight means and is brought into pressure contact with the conveying means of the card delivery device at a predetermined pressure.
Thereby, since the frictional force between the conveying means and the card is stabilized, the card can be surely sent out.
The step weight means can be lowered as the amount of stacked cards decreases, but the amount of movement in the upward direction is limited to a minimum.
In other words, when a card is removed from the card outlet of the cassette, only a few cards can be returned.
Therefore, it is easy to detect card theft, and there is an effect of producing a suppressive force against unauthorized extraction.

In a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention, the weight body is movable by a predetermined amount with respect to the weight support body, and the weight support body moves stepwise with respect to the cassette.
In other words, when a percentage of the total weight of the weight body acts on the weight support body, the weight support body is lowered relative to the cassette by one step.
The weight body is movable with respect to the weight support body in the stacking direction of the cards within the range of one step or more.
In other words, when the weight is placed on the stacked card, the weight support does not act on the weight support, so the weight support is held stationary at a predetermined position of the cassette.
When the card is consumed and the weight is lowered, a predetermined proportion of the weight of the weight acts on the weight support. When the acting force exceeds a predetermined value, the weight support cannot be supported by the cassette, and is lowered by one step. It is done.
Thereby, the weight body is again supported only by the card.
Since the card in the holding unit can be raised only within the range of the one step, the card can be returned to the cassette only within the range.
Therefore, when a large number of cards are extracted, the difference between the number of supplied cards and the number of reserved cards increases, and unauthorized extraction is easily detected.
Therefore, the effect of preventing unauthorized card extraction is exhibited.

In a fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stepped weight means has a movable locking projection having an outward downward slope and an upward horizontal surface formed on the side surface of the weight support body.
The movement locking projection is a sawtooth one-way stopper in which a triangular fixed locking projection having an upward upward slope and a downward horizontal surface formed on the inner surface of the cassette is connected in the vertical direction.
As a result, the outward downward slope of the movement locking projection of the weight support body contacts the upward upward slope of the fixed locking projection and receives a predetermined movement resistance in the downward direction. Held in position.
When the weight supporter moves upward, the upward horizontal surface of the movement locking protrusion is locked to the downward horizontal surface of the fixed locking protrusion and cannot move further upward.
As a result, even if an attempt is made to return the removed card to the cassette, the moving amount of the card is restricted by the stepping weight means, so that it is not possible to return more than a predetermined amount of cards.
Therefore, since card extraction can be realized, there is an advantage that unauthorized extraction can be suppressed.
Since the step weight means is composed of a movement locking protrusion formed on the weight support body, a fixed locking protrusion formed on the cassette structure, and a weight body, there is an advantage that it can be manufactured at low cost with a simple structure.

In a sixth preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the cassette according to claim 1 is mounted at a predetermined position of the jig body, the plurality of release claws are synchronized to enter the release hole.
Since the release claw is arcuate and pivots about the shaft, it proceeds to the release hole and then turns to the back surface of the engagement claw to push the engagement portion from the inside to the outside.
Thereby, one latching | locking part cancels | releases engagement with the other latching | locking part elastically deformed.
Since the locking portions are moved synchronously, all the locking portions are disengaged all at once.
In this state, the upper cassette structure can be separated from the lower cassette structure by pulling up.
After separation, after loading the card into the lower cassette structure, the upper cassette structure is re-integrated by engaging the locking portions with the open end butted against the lower cassette structure. Can be configured.
By using this disassembling apparatus, the cassette can be disassembled very easily, and there is an advantage that a predetermined number of cards can be easily loaded into the cassette.
In addition, this dismantling device is placed in a card loading factory, and after the card is loaded into the cassette in the factory, it is delivered to each game field by a security company, etc. The card is collected and reloaded in the same manner in the loading factory, so that it is possible to prevent theft during the card transport.

In other words, the stopper portion 174A is urged to advance between the opening 154A and the upper end portion 176A.
The openings 154A and 154B are covered with angle-shaped covers 181A and 181B, one end of which is inserted into the side bag-shaped locking portions 180A and 180B and the other end is screwed to the rear side walls 118A and 118B.
Therefore, it is difficult to forcibly move the first interlocking body 168A from the outside.

Next, the step weight means 182 will be described with reference to FIG.
The step weight means 182 has a function of adding a predetermined weight to the cards C stacked in the card holding chamber 130 and not substantially allowing the upward movement of the held cards C.
The card C is increased in pressure contact with the transfer body 224 (see FIG. 12) to stabilize the delivery of the card C, and the card C is illegally removed to steal only a predetermined type of card, and the other card C is put on hold. This is for preventing the detection of illegal theft by returning the room 130.
The step weight means 182 allows the weight support body 184, the weight body 186 attached to the weight support body 184 to be movable in the card stacking direction, and the weight support body 184 to be stepped with respect to the cassette 102. Stepping means 188 is included.

First, the weight support body 184 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The weight support body 184 is formed of resin, and has a cubic pan shape with a front wall 184A, a rear wall 184B, a right wall 184C, and a left wall 184D that are suspended from four sides of a rectangular bottom wall 184S.
A slit 192 is formed at the center of the right wall 184C and the left wall 184D to form a first elastic portion 194A and a second elastic portion 194B.
Since the first elastic portion 194A and the second elastic portion 194B have the same configuration, the first elastic portion 194A will be described as a representative.
The first elastic portion 194A can move to a position where the lower end, that is, the upper end of the bottom wall 184S side end is bent, in other words, flush with the right wall 184C.
On the side surface of the upper end portion of the first elastic portion 194A, an outward downward slope 196A and a horizontal stopper surface 198A connected to the upper edge thereof are formed, and these constitute a first movement locking projection 202A having a right triangle in side view. ing.
The bottom wall 184S of the weight support body 184 is formed with first and second through holes 204A, 204B having a predetermined width and extending parallel to the longitudinal direction.

Next, the weight body 186 will be described.
The weight body 186 has a function of pressing the cards C stacked in the card holding chamber 130 from above.
The weight body 186 includes a first weight body 186A, a second weight body 186B, spacers 206A, 206B, 206C and 206D, and screws 207A to 207D.
The first weight body 186A and the second weight body 186B are formed slightly smaller than the bottom wall 184S, for example, by stainless steel.
The first weight body 186A is disposed below the bottom wall 184S, and the second weight body 186B is disposed above the bottom wall 184S.
The spacers 206A, 206B, 206C, and 206D are cylindrical with the same length, and are disposed between the first weight body 186A and the second weight body 186B, and the first through hole 204A and the second through hole 204B are arranged vertically. It penetrates slidable in the direction.
The screws 207A to 207D are passed through the first weight body 186A and the spacers 206A, 206B, 206C, and 206D and screwed to the second weight body 186B to integrate them to constitute the weight body 186.
The spacers 206A, 206B, 206C and 206D are connected bodies.
In other words, the weight body 186 can move up and down with respect to the weight support body 184 in the range of the length of the spacers 206A, 206B, 206C, and 206D.

Next, the stepping means 188 will be described.
The stepping means 188 has a function of stepping down the weight support body 184 in cooperation with the movement locking projection 202.
The stepping means 188 faces the first fixed locking projection 208A row extending in the vertical direction formed on the inner surface of the first cassette structure 106A and the first fixed locking projection 208A row, and the second cassette structure 106B. It has the 2nd fixed latching protrusion 208B row | line | column formed in the inner surface.
Since the first fixed locking projection 208A row and the second fixed locking projection 208B have the same configuration, the first fixed locking projection 208A row will be described as a representative.
The first fixed locking projection 208A row has an upward inclined surface 212A followed by a horizontal portion 214A formed substantially horizontally to form a first triangular locking fixed projection 208A, and the projection 208A is connected in the vertical direction. Is.
The downward slope 196A and the upward slope 212A of the weight support body 184 are inclined at substantially the same angle.
The protrusion pitch of the first fixed locking protrusion 208A row is set to be smaller than the amount of vertical movement of the weight body 186 relative to the weight support body 184.
In other words, the pitch of the first fixed locking protrusions 208A is smaller than the length of the spacers 206A to 206D.

When the weight support body 184 is mounted in the card holding chamber 130 of the cassette 102, the downward sloping surfaces 196A and 196B of the movement locking projections 202A and 202B have first elasticity on the upward sloping surfaces 212A and 212B of the cassette structures 106A and 106B. The surface contact is made substantially by the elastic force generated by the portion 194A and the second elastic portion 194B.
When approximately 80% of the weight of the weight body 186 acts on the weight support body 184, the first elastic portion 194A and the second elastic portion 194B are deformed inward by the reaction force of the upward inclined surface 212A, and the first fixed locking protrusion Can pass 208A.
As a result, the weight support body 184 falls by one pitch, so that the weight of the weight body 186 is supported by the card C, and the weight acting on the weight support body 184 is about 80% or less. 196B is supported by one downward upward slope 212A, 212B.
As described above, the weight 186 is held at that position until about 80% of the weight acts.
When the weight support body 184 is pushed upward via the first weight body 186A, the stopper surface 198A is prevented from moving by the downward horizontal portion 214A of the first fixed locking projection 208A and cannot move further upward.
In other words, the weight support 184 cannot move in the increasing direction of the card holding amount beyond one pitch of the first fixed locking protrusions 208A.
In other words, the card C cannot be returned to the cassette 102 beyond one pitch of the first fixed locking projection 208A.

When the weight support body 184 of the present embodiment is used, when a weight exceeding about 80% of the weight of the weight body 186 acts on the weight support body 184, the first elastic body 194A and the second elastic body 194B are the weight support bodies. 184 is bent inward and passes through the first fixed locking projection 208A and the second fixed locking projection 208B, and they are lowered together.
When the first weight body 186A is supported by the card C and the weight acting on the weight support body 184 of the weight of the weight body 186 is about 80% or less by the card C, the downward movement of the weight support body 184 is stopped. .
In other words, when the elastic force of the first elastic part 194A and the second elastic part 194B is larger than the deformation force received by the downward slope 196A from the upward slope 212A, the downward slope 196A is locked by the upward slope 212A.
At this time, it is understood that the second weight body 186B is separated from the bottom wall 184S of the weight support body 184 or is in contact with the bottom wall 184S at a predetermined pressure or lower.
When one card C is sent out, the stacked height of the card C decreases by the amount corresponding to the thickness of one card C.
As a result, the first weight body 186A and the second weight body 186B are also lowered, and the weight of the weight body 186 acting on the weight support body 184 from the second weight body 186B is increased. Since it cannot pass through the first fixed locking projection 208A and the second fixed locking projection 208B until it exceeds the split, only the weight body 186 is lowered with respect to the weight support body 184 by an amount corresponding to one card C.
This operation is repeated each time one card C is sent out, and when approximately 80% of the weight of the weight body 186 acts on the weight support body 184, the weight support body 184, as described above, the first fixed locking protrusion 208A. Then, it falls by one pitch between the second fixed locking projections 208B.
