In addition, when a new gaming machine is newly installed, the above-mentioned is also applied to a regular or irregular gaming machine check after the start of the gaming machine operation, a main board exchange, a game board exchange (board change), etc. The ID information is read and verified as appropriate.

  However, among the information (1) to (6) above, the ID information read by the manager of the game hall is the information (1) to (5), and the information (6) This information is read by a gaming machine certification body (such as a police agency).

  By the way, with respect to the above circuit board, while using most of the other gaming machines as they are, for example, in order to slightly change the game contents (the above-mentioned board replacement), a new circuit board has been used in the above-mentioned parts manufacturer or set manufacturer. In this case, the old billboard with various ID information and identification information as described above of the old circuit board is completely discarded, and the ID information and identification information of the new circuit board are changed. You have to re-attach the new bill.

  However, since the tag itself is an important thing with the ID information and identification information of the circuit board, it is generally firmly attached, and the old bill piece is completely destroyed or removed. Or, it is often difficult to disable.

  Therefore, the present inventors have conducted various studies on how to make it possible to simplify the disposal and removal of invalid bill pieces, or the invalidation process. The present invention has been completed.

  That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can easily perform complete destruction and removal of invalid bill pieces or invalidation processing.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, first, the means adopted in the invention 1 is that a circuit board for a pachinko game is accommodated, and a board box having a box base and a box cover is placed on the back side of the game board. An assembled gaming machine, a bill piece mounting portion provided on one side of the board box, a bill piece cutting member assembled to the bill piece mounting portion, and the bill piece containing the bill piece cutting member. A bill piece attached to the attachment portion, and a cover that covers the bill piece and is attached to the bill piece attachment portion.

  In the gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention, a circuit board for a pachinko game is accommodated, and a bill piece mounting portion is formed on one side portion of a board box provided with a box base and a box cover. A bill is attached to the part. As the bill pieces used in this gaming machine, “certificate label”, “identification sticker”, “I circuit board tag” as shown in FIG. 21, “microcomputer chip”, and the like can be considered. If the bill piece is attached to a bill piece attachment portion formed on one side of the substrate box, it includes all of them.

  According to the gaming machine of the first aspect of the present invention, since the bill piece attached to the bill piece attachment portion provided on one side of the board box is covered with the cover, for example, the gaming machine installed in the hall In order to solve the problem, even if the board clerk with the bill pieces attached is opened to the hall passage side and touched by the hall clerk, the bill pieces are protected from being damaged by the cover. If the cover covering the bill piece is formed of a transparent or plate transparent material, the state of the bill piece can be easily visually recognized from the outside.

  According to the gaming machine of the first aspect of the present invention, the bill piece cutting member assembled in the bill piece mounting portion provided on one side of the board box and contained in the bill piece attached to the bill piece mounting portion is provided. Therefore, the bill piece can be damaged by removing the bill piece cutting member from the bill piece mounting portion. This is because the bill piece is attached to the bill piece attachment portion in a state of including the bill piece cutting member.

  The breaking of the bill piece by the bill piece cutting member can be performed with the force of a person's fingertip because it can be performed while tearing the bill piece. This is because generally this kind of bill piece is formed mainly of so-called “paper”. In addition, since the bill pieces are broken, a “kick” for peeling off the bill pieces can be made. Therefore, if the “kick” is picked and peeled off, the bill pieces can be easily peeled off. Become.

  In this case, if the bill piece is a seal seal that becomes invalid when it is damaged, it can be understood that the next new circuit board can be replaced by the damage itself. Further, if the tag piece has an antenna portion as will be described later, the antenna portion is also damaged due to the damage of the tag piece, and therefore the invalidation processing of the tag piece is performed.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to easily perform complete destruction and removal of invalid bill pieces or invalidation processing.

  In order to solve the above problem, the means according to the second aspect of the invention is that the bill piece is attached across the bill piece attachment portion. Here, “the bill piece straddles the bill piece attachment portion” means that, when the bill piece attachment portion is singular, the bill piece wraps and straddles the end portion of the bill piece attachment portion, When there are a plurality of bill piece attachment portions, it means that the bill pieces straddle the joints at the ends of the bill piece attachment portions.

  According to the gaming machine of the second aspect of the present invention, since “the bill piece straddles the bill piece mounting portion”, not only the movement of the bill piece cutting member inside is made free, but also the bill It is possible to break the bill piece by the piece cutting member with a smaller force.

  Next, the means adopted by the invention 3 is that the bill piece cutting member has a blade portion directed to the bill piece attached to the bill piece attachment portion.

  In the gaming machine according to the third aspect of the present invention, by moving the bill piece cutting member toward the outside of the bill piece, the bill piece is easily cut, that is, broken by the blade portion facing the bill piece.

  Further, the means of the invention 4 is that the bill piece cutting member has a finger hook part in part.

  According to the gaming machine of the fourth aspect of the invention, since the bill piece cutting member has a finger hook portion in part, if the finger piece is hung when the bill piece is broken, the bill piece The cutting member can be easily moved. Therefore, the bill piece can be easily broken by the bill piece cutting member.

Other means 1:
With respect to the bill piece mounting portion, it is possible to allow pivoting at a part of the bill piece cutting member.

  According to the gaming machine adopting the other means 1, since the bill piece cutting member can pivot with respect to the bill piece mounting portion, the bill pieces can be sequentially broken from one end thereof. This makes it easier to break the bill. That is, the bill pieces are broken in order from one end, and can be broken even with a small force.

Other means 2:
Further, the bill piece mounting portion is integrally formed on each side portion of the box base and the box cover, and the circuit board is accommodated between the box base and the box cover so that the box bases are accommodated. And the box cover can be overlapped.

  In the gaming machine according to the other means 2, since the bill piece mounting portion is integrally formed on each side of each of the box base and the box cover, the bill piece mounting portion is connected to the box base and the box. It can be formed at the same time as the cover is manufactured, thereby facilitating the manufacture of the substrate box.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the other means 2, since each of the bill piece mounting portions overlaps when the box base and the box cover are integrated, the bill piece mounting portions in the respective bill piece mounting portions are overlapped. The mounting location or the mounting area can be made small, and the mounting of the bill pieces can be facilitated.

As mentioned above, in each invention explained,

  FIG. 21 shows an example of a type having the antenna portion 53 as the bill piece 50. The bill piece 50 is used in the first and second embodiments. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the bill piece 50 having such an antenna portion 53.

(Basic configuration)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a gaming machine 100 to which the present invention is applied. This gaming machine 100 has an outer frame 10 erected on the base portion constituting the island of the hall (pachinko store). The outer frame 10 is shown in FIG. As described above, the main body frame 11 is attached so as to be freely opened and closed by a pivot 12 provided on the upper and lower sides on the right side of the figure. In addition, as shown also in FIG. 1, the front frame 13 which supported glass is attached to the outer frame 10 so that opening and closing is possible.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a game board 20 having a pachinko game area formed on the front side is attached to the main body frame 11 connected to the outer frame 10 by upper and lower pivots 12. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a back pack unit 30 and a board box 40 are attached to the back of the game board 20, and in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. A spacer box 60 is arranged on the lower side, and a ball assembly plate 70 is arranged inside the spacer box 60.

  Here, the right side portion of the board box 40 shown in FIG. 2 (the left side when viewed from the front side of the gaming machine 100) is referred to as “one side portion”, and the opposite side to this one side portion. That is, the left side portion of the substrate box 40 shown in FIG. 2 is referred to as the “other side portion”.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the board box 40 includes a box base 40a disposed on the game board 20 side and a box cover 40b fitted to the box base 40a. In the space formed by the box cover 40b, the circuit board 40c is accommodated as shown in FIG. The box base 40a and the box cover 40b are each integrally formed of a non-magnetic material, that is, a synthetic resin. Particularly, the box cover 40b of the present embodiment is visually recognized from the outside in the substrate box 40. In order to facilitate, it is made of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin material.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the substrate box 40 has five first sealing portions 43 on the left side edge (other side portion) shown in the figure, and on the right side edge (one side portion). As shown in FIG. 7, two second sealing portions 44 are formed. In the substrate box 40 according to the present embodiment, the box cover 40b is slidably fitted to the box base 40a from the lateral direction, and a method of fitting the box base 40a and the box cover 40b is used. May be implemented so that it can be slidably fitted in the vertical direction or can be opened and closed with a hinge or the like.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the board box 40 is connected to the ball assembly plate 70 by the hinge fitting 42 attached to the ball assembly plate 70 side via the base member 41 attached to one side of the back surface thereof. The game board 20 is connected so that it can be freely opened and closed as shown in FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the base member 41 is integrally attached to the back surface of the substrate box 40, which is a portion opposite to the pivot shaft 12, with a one-way screw or a break screw that cannot be removed after fixing. Yes, as shown in FIG. 5, it is attached to the back surface of the box base 40 a constituting the substrate box 40 (the surface on the game board 20 side).

  That is, the base member 41 is attached to the back side of the box base 40a with a sandwiching plate and a locking metal fitting integrated with the base member 41 thereby interposed. In this case, the base member 41 is positioned by the locking protrusion formed on the back surface of the box base 40a.

  The locking metal fitting clamped when attaching the base member 41 to the back surface of the box base 40a is a metal one that prevents and fixes the tip of the hinge metal fitting 42, and is made of metal. That is, when the hinge metal fitting 42 is inserted, the locking metal fitting is engaged with the leading end thereof, thereby preventing the hinge metal fitting 42 from being detached from the board box 40.

  The hinge fitting 42 is as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and is connected to the tip of the hinge fitting inserted into the inside of the ball assembly plate 70 so as to be rotatable by, for example, a metal rivet or a pivot. Is. Of course, since the ball assembly board 70 is fixed to the rear surface of the game board 20, the board box 40 connected to the ball assembly board 70 by the hinge attachment and the hinge fitting 42 is attached to the rear surface of the game board 20. As a result, it can be freely opened and closed as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the first sealing portion 43 and the second sealing portion 44 are formed on the left and right side edges of the substrate box 40, respectively. The first sealing portion 43 and the second sealing portion 44 are actually integrally formed at the left and right edges of the box base 40a and the box cover 40b constituting the substrate box 40, Therefore, it consists of a nonmagnetic material. When these first sealing portion 43 and second sealing portion 44 are sealed, a hole for drawing out wiring from the circuit board 40c is formed in at least one of the box base 40a and the box cover 40b. Is done.

  In the embodiment shown in the figure, the first sealing portion 43 and the second sealing portion 44 are formed in five and two, respectively, and are independent of each other. Of course, the number and size of the first sealing portion 43 and the second sealing portion 44 can be appropriately selected.

  First, the first sealing portion 43 is integrally formed on the side of the box base 40a and the box cover 40b on the hinge fitting 42 side, and overlaps when the box base 40a and the box cover 40b are closed. The base-side sealing portion and the cover-side sealing portion, and a sealing metal fitting that is inserted between the overlapping base-side sealing portion and cover-side sealing portion to prevent separation between the two are included.

  That is, in the gaming machine 100 of this embodiment, the configuration of the first sealing portion 43 is arranged on the side on the hinge member side of the box base 40a and the box cover 40b, and the base side sealing portion and the cover side sealing portion are respectively provided. It is formed integrally. The base side sealing portion and the cover side sealing portion overlap each other when the box base 40a and the box cover 40b are closed.

  When a sealing metal fitting is inserted between the overlapping base side sealing portion and cover side sealing portion, the sealing metal fitting prevents relative movement between the two. In this embodiment, a stopper having two locking protrusions that engage with the sealing metal fitting is housed in the base side locking portion, and the sealing metal fitting is inserted into the stopper to The locking projection of the book is slightly opened in the base side locking portion so that the stopper is engaged with the cover side locking portion.

  If the sealing of the first sealing portion 43 is released and the internal circuit board 40c is illegally replaced, the state of releasing the sealing (the trace of destruction or melting) is the first sealing. It should remain somewhere in part 43. If this mark remains, it indicates that the circuit board 40c has been illegally exchanged. Therefore, the illegality can be checked according to the situation of the first sealing portion 43.

  Even if metal sealing metal fittings are used for sealing each first sealing portion 43, the first sealing portion 43 is located on the side opposite to the bill piece 50 of the substrate box 40. The adverse effect that the electromagnetic wave is absorbed by the sealing metal fitting is not given to the tag piece 50 having the antenna portion 53.

  On the other hand, in the case of this embodiment, each of the second sealing portions 44 is not illustrated for the box base 40a and the box cover 40b side, but holes that engage with each other when they are slidably fitted to each other. Or a claw (engagement protrusion) that engages with the hole is formed. Since the second sealing portion 44 on which the engagement protrusion is formed is integrally formed with the box base 40a or the box cover 40b with synthetic resin, the engagement protrusion has a certain degree of elasticity. .

  Since the second sealing portion 44 has an opening through which the engaging protrusion formed on the second sealing portion 44 can be visually recognized from the outside, when it is desired to remove the sealing by the engaging protrusion in the second sealing portion 44. The engagement protrusion is pushed in by using a “key” or the like to release the engagement between the hole and the claw.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the board box 40 of the present embodiment includes a box base 40a fixed to the back side of the game board 20, and the sealing portions 43 and 44 described above on the box base 40a. And a box cover 40b that is attached using the above. A space that can accommodate the circuit board 40c is formed between the box base 40a and the box cover 40b.

  A bill mounting portion 45a and a bill mounting portion 45b are integrally formed on each side of the box base 40a and the box cover 40b, that is, on the right side of the drawings in FIGS. The bill piece mounting portion 45a and the bill piece mounting portion 45b overlap each other when the circuit board 40c is accommodated and the box base 40a and the box cover 40b are integrated.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 15, these bill piece mounting portions 45 a and bill piece mounting portions 45 b protrude rightward in the drawing between the two second sealing portions 44. The screw holes 48a for the fixing screws 48 are formed, and the fixing screws 48 are attached as shown by the phantom lines in FIG. 7 using the screw holes 48a. As a result, the bill piece attachment portion 45a and the bill piece attachment portion 45b are fixed in an overlapping state. In addition, gaps into which F of a bill piece cutting member 47 (to be described later) is inserted can be formed at the upper and lower ends of these bill piece mounting portions 45a and 45b. The other surface is a flat surface for easy attachment of a bill piece 50 to be described later.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a cover 46 is attached to the bill piece attachment portion 45a and the bill piece attachment portion 45b attached with the bill piece 50 straddled. The cover 46 is attached to one side portion of the board box 40 while wrapping the both tag piece mounting portions 45a and 45b and the entire tag piece 50 attached thereto.

  Now, although it is the bill piece 50, the thing of a structure as shown in FIG. 21 is employ | adopted in this embodiment. That is, as shown in FIG. 21A, the bill piece 50 includes a rectangular base sheet 51 that can be attached to the bill piece mounting portions 45a and 45b, and a diagonal line on the surface of the base sheet 51. A long antenna portion 53 attached to the antenna portion 53 and an IC chip 52 provided at the center portion of the antenna portion 53.

  That is, the IC chip 52 is provided at a point-symmetrical position of the base sheet 51. When the bill piece 50 is attached to one side portion of the substrate box 40, the two bill piece attachment portions 45a and 45b are overlapped. It is supposed to be located in the part. Further, the base sheet 51 constituting the bill piece 50 is formed in a rectangular shape, and is attached to the bill piece attachment portions 45a and 45b so that the long side thereof is vertical. The left and right side portions shown in FIG. 21 (a) are evenly attached to both the bill piece mounting portions 45a and 45b.

  Here, in this embodiment, the positional relationship between the antenna unit 53 and the fixing screw 48 is characteristic. Therefore, the positional relationship according to the following will be described in detail.

  Since the antenna portion 53 is provided on the diagonal line of the base sheet 51, both end portions thereof are disposed so as to avoid the screw holes 48a in the tag mounting portions 45a and 45b as shown in FIG. become. By arranging the antenna portion 53 in this way, both end portions of the antenna portion 53 are separated from the heads of the corresponding fixing screws 48. That is, when the bill piece 50 is affixed to the bill piece attachment portions 45a and 45b, the antenna portion 53 and the fixing screw 48 are separated from each other.

  Further, no interposition member is interposed between the antenna portion 53 and the fixing screw 48. That is, a space is provided between the antenna unit 53 and the fixing screw 48. Thereby, the antenna part 53 becomes difficult to bend toward the inside of the screw hole 48a, and the antenna part 53 and the head part of the fixing screw 48 can be reliably separated from each other in the configuration. For example, when the antenna unit 53 comes into contact with the fixing screw 48, the set resonance frequency (2.45 GHz in the present embodiment) changes, and the ID information stored in the IC chip 52 may not be read by the scanner device. However, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, such inconvenience can be prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7 and the like, each bill piece mounting portion 45a, 45b is formed with a surrounding portion, and the periphery of the base sheet 51 is close to the surrounding portion. Therefore, when the base sheet 51 is pasted, the base sheet 51 is pasted so as not to protrude from the region surrounded by the surrounding portion, so that both end portions of the antenna portion 53 are separated from the screw holes 48a, and the fixing screw is fixed. Also away from 48 heads. Further, the area surrounded by the surrounding portions of the bill mounting portions 45 a and 45 b is wider than the area of the base sheet 51. As a result, when the base sheet 51 is pasted, a predetermined clearance is created at the pasting position, and the workability of the pasting work is improved. Furthermore, since the bill pieces 50 are arranged so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the center of the rectangular base sheet 51 as described above, even if the base sheet 51 is attached upside down, both ends of the antenna portion 53 are arranged. The part is separated from the head of the fixing screw 48.

In addition, as described in the “Background Art”, the tag 50 is currently provided for each gaming machine 100 or various circuit boards 40c for pachinko games such as a main control device. It has ID information. As the various types of ID information, the following items (1) to (6) are currently employed.
(1) Game board ID information printed on the game board label card The card label for the game board is affixed to, for example, the game board, and the manufacturer name of the game board (for example, × × Product), a gaming machine production number (for example, No. 1234567), and a pressing portion 47b attachment release portion 47c code obtained by two-dimensionally coding each of these data.
(2) Frame ID information written on the certificate label for the frame The certificate label for the frame is affixed to the main body frame that supports the game board and the like so that it can be opened and closed, and the manufacturer ID of the main body frame (for example, the frame ID information) Co., Ltd. XX product), a gaming machine manufacturing number (for example, No. 1234567), and a pressing portion 47b attachment release portion 47c code obtained by two-dimensionally coding these data.
(3) Main board ID information written on the identification sticker The identification sticker is affixed to a board box for storing a circuit board such as a main control device, and a manufacturer code (for example, a tag 50 screw) as (main) board ID information. The hole 48a-box base 40a), the serial number (for example, No. 1234567), and the pressing portion 47b attachment release portion 47c code in which each data thereof is two-dimensionally coded are written.
(4) Gaming machine ID information written on the identification sticker The identification sticker is affixed to a board box that houses a circuit board such as a main controller, and the manufacturer name (for example, XX Co., Ltd. ), A model name (for example, xx story), a model code (for example, 12345A), and a pressing portion 47b attachment release portion 47c code obtained by two-dimensionally coding these data.
(5) Tag ID information of the IC tag The IC tag is assembled to a seal seal such as a board box for storing a circuit board such as a main control device, and is attached as a manufacturer ID (or each manufacturer) as tag ID information.

(6) Chip ID information stored in microcomputer chip The microcomputer chip is mounted on a circuit board such as a main controller, and a chip unique number or the like is stored as chip ID information.

  In other words, the bill piece 50 affixed to one side of the board box 40 is not limited to that shown in FIG. The “label certificate for frame”, the “identification seal” in (3) and (4), the “IC tag” in (5), and the “microcomputer chip” in (6) are applied.

  And since the bill piece 50 employ | adopted with the gaming machine 100 of this embodiment has the IC chip 52 with the antenna part 53 as shown in FIG. 21, electromagnetic waves are emitted by an external scanner. When irradiated, various information such as identification information and manufacturing number of the gaming machine 100 written in the IC chip 52 can be transmitted to the scanner without directly contacting the tag piece 50.

  If the IC chip 52 has a non-volatile rewritable memory area (antenna unit 53OM) as a memory area and the identification information is stored in the memory area, data is stored in the IC chip 52. Since the identification information is stored and held in a non-rewritable memory area, inconveniences such as unauthorized alteration of the identification information can be suppressed.

  Further, as in the gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, if the bill piece 50 is pasted so as to straddle the divided portion (between the bill attachment portions 45a and 45b) on one side of the substrate box 40, the substrate substrate 40c. When the board box 40 is opened for the purpose of taking out the card or mounting an unauthorized electronic component in the board box 40, the bill piece 50 must be peeled off or damaged. Therefore, as the bill piece 50 is damaged as described above, subsequent reuse of the bill piece 50 can be disabled. As a result, fraud can be discovered.

  By the way, the gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment is configured such that the spacer box 60 is interposed below the substrate box 40 as shown in FIGS. The spacer box 60 is made of synthetic resin, and the surface side thereof is substantially planar as shown in FIG. 4, but the back side thereof has a large number of ribs as shown in FIG. By forming, it has many spaces opened toward the game board 20 side. These ribs provide rigidity to the spacer box 60 and prevent an object (for example, an illegal substrate) from being inserted therein.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the spacer box 60 is connected to a ball assembly plate 70 described later by a hinge so as to be opened and closed. When the spacer box 60 is closed, as shown in FIG. On the upper side, the board box 40 connected to the ball assembly plate 70 side by a hinge fitting can be arranged.

The bill piece cutting member 47 is formed of the board box 40 shown in FIG. Is attached between both bill piece mounting portions 45a and 45b formed on one side portion (the right side portion in the figure in FIG. 7). Therefore, the board box 40 can be formed with a space in which the bill piece cutting member 47 can be stored.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8A, the bill piece cutting member 47 first has screw holes 47c at the base thereof, and the screw hole 47c has both bill piece attachment portions. The fixing screws 48 that have been passed through the screw holes 48a formed in 45a and 45b are passed therethrough. That is, the bill piece cutting member 47 is housed in a space formed between the two bill piece attachment portions 45a and 45b, and then the fixing screw 48 passed through the screw hole 47c formed in the bill piece attachment portion 45a is attached to the bill piece attachment portion. It is assembled to one side portion of the board box 40 by being screwed to 45a or the bill mounting portion 45b.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, a blade portion 47a is formed at one side edge of the base portion of the bill piece cutting member 47. The blade portion 47a extends over the entire length of the base portion. Formed. In other words, the blade portion 47a is sufficiently longer than the length of the bill piece 50 as shown in FIG. 21 so that the entire base sheet 51 of the bill piece 50 can be cut. is there. Of course, the blade portion 47a can also cut the entire base sheet 51 of the bill piece 50 at a stroke. However, as will be described later, the bill piece cutting member 47 formed with the blade portion 47a is connected to a single pivot. By swinging around the hole 47b or the pivot shaft 49, the base sheet 51 can be reliably cut, for example, sequentially from one end over the whole.

  Now, a pivot hole 47b is formed in the lower part of the bill piece cutting member 47 of the first embodiment, and this pivot hole 47b is shown in FIGS. It is formed below the screw hole 47c on the lower side in the figure. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 14, in this embodiment, a pivot shaft 49 formed integrally with the inside of the bill piece mounting portion 45b is inserted into the pivot hole 47b. As can be seen from the comparison between FIGS. 11 and 14, the piece cutting member 47 swings around the pivot shaft 49. Of course, the insertion of the pivot hole 47b on the bill piece cutting member 47 side into the pivot shaft 49 on the bill piece mounting portion 45b side is performed before the bill piece cutting member 47 is assembled between the two bill piece mounting portions 45a and 45b. The

  In the bill piece cutting member 47 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, guide portions 47d are formed on the top and bottom of the base portion. In addition to being able to be assembled between 45b without any gaps, it is also a “handle” when the bill piece cutting member 47 is pulled out from between both bill piece mounting portions 45a and 45b.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the cover 46 has a box shape that wraps the whole of the two tag piece mounting portions 45a and 45b incorporating the tag piece cutting member 47 at one side portion of the board box 40. As shown in FIGS. 9C and 9D, a part thereof is opened. Further, as shown in FIG. 9A, a groove 46a is formed on the upper and lower sides of the cover 46. One of the guide portions 47d on the bill cutting member 47 side is formed in the groove 46a. The parts will be engaged.

  Now, the operation of the bill piece cutting member 47 configured as described above will be explained. As shown in FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 (b), the bill piece cutting member 47 is provided with both bill piece mounting portions. After being assembled between 45a and 45b, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the tag 50 is attached to the surface of the both tag piece mounting portions 45a and 45b. As shown in FIG. 7B, the cover 46 is fitted to the surface side of the piece mounting portions 45a and 45b.

  Here, when it becomes necessary to replace the circuit board 40c stored in the board box 40, the old circuit board 40c is taken out from the board box 40 and various information on the old circuit board 40c is entered. The old bill piece 50 must be discarded and the new circuit board 40c and the new bill piece 50 must be prepared.

  In particular, it is important to discard the old bill piece 50. If the information of the old bill piece 50 remains, there will be a discrepancy with the information of the new circuit board 40c of the replaced bag at the time of the subsequent check. Inconveniences such as re-replacement of the circuit board 40c and the bill piece 50 and rechecking occur. In general, the replacement work and the check work are performed by different places and different people, so that the old information of the old bill pieces 50 remains confusing at various places.

  Therefore, when the circuit board 40c is replaced, the above-described bill piece cutting member 47 ensures that the old bill piece 50 is discarded so that old information does not remain. Since the bill piece cutting member 47 is included in the bill piece 50 affixed to both the bill piece attaching portions 45a and 45b as described above, the guide portions 47d provided above and below the bill piece cutting member 47 are provided. For example, the old bill piece 50 is broken or broken along with the movement of the bill piece cutting member 47 if it is forcibly pulled out from between the bill piece attaching portions 45a and 45b.

  In particular, in the bill piece cutting member 47 according to the first embodiment, since the blade portion 47a is formed at the portion facing the bill piece 50, the breakage or breakage of the bill piece 50 can be easily performed by the blade portion 47a. Done. That is, this bill piece cutting member 47 can be pulled out while breaking the bill piece 50 from between the bill piece mounting portions 45a and 45b even with a small fingertip force. Of course, even if the bill piece 50 has the antenna portion 53, the bill piece 50 can be broken by the blade portion 47a with a small force.

  In the bill piece cutting member 47 according to the first embodiment, the pivot hole 47b is fitted to the pivot shaft 49 provided on the bill piece mounting portion 45b side, and the bill piece cutting member 47 is centered on the pivot hole 47b. For example, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, if the bill piece cutting member 47 is pulled out by putting a finger or a nail on the upper guide portion 47d, the bill piece 50 is broken. It can swing while performing lightly. This is because the breakage of the bill piece 50 is sequentially performed from the end portion of the bill piece 50 by the blade portion 47 a by the swing of the bill piece cutting member 47.

  After the replacement with the new circuit board 40c, the work in the reverse order as described above is performed, and the bill piece cutting member 47 is assembled between the two bill piece attachment portions 45a and 45b, and the two bill piece attachment portions 45a. -Needless to say, if the new bill piece 50 is attached to the outside of 45b, the exchange of the circuit board and the bill piece 50 is completed.
