Abstract

PURPOSE:To stably and smoothly open/close a passage frame of a paper money carrier at the time of executing maintenance/inspection in a state that a paper money inserted into a paper money inserting port by a player playing on a playing machine island is blocked due to the generation of jamming at the time of feeding it from a paper money identifier to a paper money carrying passage in the island through the paper money carrier. CONSTITUTION:In a paper money carrying part in the playing machine island which is constituted by arranging the note carrier 4 having a passage frame 4a pivoted so as to be opened to the front side and guiding a paper money on its side between each paper money identifier 2 connected to each inserting port 1 and a paper money carrying passage 3, a ball 6 capable of rotating a horizontal supporting plate 5a is vertically arranged on the lower part of the frame 4a so as to be rotatably engaged with a ball mount 7 formed on the lower part of the frame 4a and the ball mount 7 is formed on an approximately intermediate part in the longitudinal direction of the frame 4a formed from a supporting spindle 8 to its leading end.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bill transporting device in a gaming machine island in which bills to be inserted into a bill insertion slot as a gaming price are fed from a bill validator through a bill transporting device to a bill transporting passage in the island. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as seen in Japanese Patent Application No. 3-291576 filed by the applicant of the present invention, there is provided between each banknote validator communicating with each banknote insertion slot and a banknote transport passage in an island. , In a bill transport unit in a gaming machine island that is configured by interposing a bill transport device having a passage frame on the front side that can be openably pivoted and can guide bills on the side, the passage frame at one end side It can be opened and closed while rotating around the fulcrum shaft.

[0003]

However, since the fulcrum shaft is located at one end side, the weight of the passage frame is loaded on the fulcrum shaft to make it difficult for the passage frame to rotate, or the passage frame is inclined and difficult to be confined. Or, there is a problem that an end portion of the passage frame comes into contact with the bill conveying passage side and causes trouble.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised so as to solve such a problem and to open and close the passage frame stably and smoothly. Therefore, a horizontal support plate is provided below the passage frame. It is constructed by vertically arranging a ball that can roll over, and the ball is rotatably fitted to a ball seat formed in the lower part of the passage frame, or the ball seat extends from the fulcrum shaft 8 to the tip. It is formed in a substantially middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the passage frame.

[0005]

Therefore, when the passage frame is opened and closed while being rotated about the fulcrum axis, the lower balls can roll on the horizontal support plate and can be supported so that the passage frame does not tilt, so that the passage frame can be stably maintained. It can be opened and closed smoothly and can be locked lightly and accurately.

EXAMPLE FIG. 6 shows a part of a pachinko island, and a curtain having a bill insertion slot 1 and a coin slot 10 on a support base 9 above a pachinko base A equipped with a ball lending machine B on the side. A plate 11 is stretched so as to be openable and closable, and comprises a holding ball 3b held by each holder 12 and a bill conveyance belt 3a on a lower horizontal support plate 5a of a base 5 mounted on the support base 9. A banknote transport passage 3 is provided, and a coin transport belt 13 is provided above the upper side support plate 5b of the base 5, which is above the bill transport passage 3, and can be used as a money changer equipped at the end of a pachinko island. The banknotes and coins can be conveyed from the banknote transfer passage 3 and the coin transfer belt 13.

A bill validator 2 communicating with the bill slot 1 is mounted on the support plate 5a of the base 5, and the bill validator 2 is provided between the bill validator 2 and the side opening of the bill transport passage 3. Inserts the banknote transport device 4, but the banknote transport device 4
Is equipped with two upper and lower conveyor belts 15 driven by the bill validator 2 through a belt pulley 14 and a guide piece 16 extending laterally of the bill conveyor passage 3 on a frame body 17 on one side, The passage frame 4a, which can be fitted to the side of the frame body 17, has six rollers 19 and two rollers that can guide bills and can correspond to both the conveyor belts 15 and the guide pieces 16. Of the guide frame 18 of the
The front end side of the passage frame 4a is rotatably attached to the fulcrum shaft 8 so that the passage frame 4a can be opened and closed forward. A ball seat 7 is integrally formed on the lower part so as to project downward, and the ball 6 is fitted on the ball seat 7 so that the lower part projects downward and can roll on the support plate 5a. .

Therefore, when the player inserts a bill into the bill insertion slot 1 as a game price, the bill is identified by the bill validator 2 and is carried out into the bill transporting device 4 to stand by. When the banknote is not transported through the part of the banknote transport passage 3 which is inside the transfer portion on the leading end side, it is immediately fed out into the banknote transport passage 3 by the detection of the sensor. If the curtain plate 11 is opened and the passage frame 4a is rotated around the fulcrum shaft 8 in the forward direction in the direction of arrow a, the curtain plate 11 is opened. Since the lower ball 6 can roll on the support plate 5a and can be supported so that the passage frame 4a does not tilt, the passage frame 4a can be stably and smoothly opened and closed.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the passage frame 4a is opened and closed while being rotated about the fulcrum shaft 8, the lower ball 6 is opened.
While rolling on the horizontal support plate 5a, the passage frame 4a can be favorably supported so as not to be tilted, so that the passage frame 4a can be stably and smoothly opened and closed, or the passage frame 4a can be accurately fitted and smoothly confined. Therefore, the problems of the conventional type can be solved, the operability is good, and the simple structure can be suitably implemented.
