[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In this type of thin plate carrier, conventionally,
While merging and feeding the thin plate toward the transport start end of the transport located on the lower side of the transport, an identification machine for identifying the quality of the thin body is provided, and the identification result based on this is provided to the identification machine. In this case, a return function for returning the defective thin plate-like body was provided.

[0003]

However, in the above-described thin plate carrier, the transport start end portion of the thin plate is held between the pair of transporters before the transport of the thin plate by the identifying device is completed. Therefore, for example, in the state where the transport start end portion of the thin plate-shaped body is sandwiched by the pair of transport bodies, when the thin plate-shaped body is identified as no by the identification machine and the return by the identification machine is started, A force that causes the thin plate-like body to move in the opposite direction against the holding and conveying force of the pair of conveyers acts to damage the thin plate-like body, or the defective thin plate-like body is returned by the identifying machine. The thin plate-like bodies that have been conveyed together by the pair of conveyors that are located on the transfer side together are returned to the discriminator side together, and the thin plate-like bodies that are returned together are blocked at the confluence of the discriminator and the conveyer. Trouble such as being lost It was a. An object of the present invention is to make it possible to reliably return the defective thin plate-like body without causing the above troubles when the identification result by the identification machine is negative.

[0004]

A thin plate carrier according to the present invention includes a pair of flexible thin plate members each having a rectangular shape or a shape close to the rectangular shape, and which holds the flexible thin plate member in the thickness direction thereof. A plurality of sets of transport bodies are arranged in parallel in the transport direction, and are passed through between the transport end portion of the transport body located on the transport side and the transport start end portion of the transport body adjacent to the transport lower side thereof. At least one discriminating device for discriminating the quality of the thin plate-shaped member is arranged in a state where the thin plate-shaped member is transferred from the one lateral side to the conveyance start end of the conveying member located on the lower side of the conveyance. Based on a return signal when the result is negative, it is characterized in that it is provided with a holding release means for releasing the holding at the transport start end portion of the transport body located on the transport lower side, and the action thereby・ The effects are as follows.

[0005]

When the discrimination result by the discriminator is good, the thin plate-like body is transferred toward the conveyance start end portion of the conveyance body located on the lower conveyance side, and is delivered to the conveyance body. . Also, when the identification result by the identification device is negative, a return signal is output to return the defective thin plate-like body, and
By this return signal, the pinch release means is activated, the pinch holding at the transport start end of the transport body located on the transport lower side is released, and the defective thin plate-like body can be smoothly returned.

[0006]

Therefore, when the result of identification by the identifying device is negative, it is possible to reliably prevent the carrying start end portion of the defective thin plate-like body from being held and carried by the pair of carriers. It is possible to reliably and smoothly return the thin plate-like body without causing the troubles such as damage and clogging of the thin plate-like body mentioned above, and thus to provide a thin plate-like body conveying device with less troubles over a long period of time. We were able to.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to, for example, a plurality of pachinko machines as a game table, which are arranged side by side in a lateral direction, and a plurality of banknotes for receiving banknotes from the front side of the game machine row. The present invention relates to a gaming facility in which an inserting machine is provided in a direction along the gaming table row, and the banknotes received in these banknote inserting machines can be efficiently collected by a conveying device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional gaming equipment, two rows of pachinko gaming machine rows, which are constructed by installing an automatic ball lending machine that operates by inserting coins, between the pachinko gaming machines, are arranged back to back. Provided between the back of the row is a transfer device that receives the coins dropped and discharged from each automatic ball lending machine of each pachinko game stand row and conveys them to one side of the pachinko game stand row, and the automatic ball rental of the pachinko game stand row on both sides. There are some that allow the coins thrown into the machine to be collected efficiently (for example,
(See Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-160482 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-146375),
In a game facility where a banknote insertion machine such as an automatic ball lending machine that operates by inserting banknotes is provided between game tables to form a game table row,
Banknotes are larger and thinner than coins, and because they are light and flexible, they are difficult to handle like coins, so each banknote inserter must have a safe (stacker). The banknotes received by each banknote inserting machine are stored in the safe of the banknote inserting machine that has received the banknote (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 53-3399).

[0003]

Therefore, according to the gaming facility in which the conventional banknote inserting machines that operate by inserting banknotes are provided between the game tables to form the game table row, the banknotes are inserted into each banknote inserting machine. When collecting the banknotes, the collector must move to the front of each banknote depositor to collect the banknotes in the safe. In addition to not being able to collect efficiently, when the safe is full during the operation of the gaming table, it may be necessary to enter between the players and collect it, and there is no consideration for the player. is there.
Therefore, similar to the gaming equipment in which the conventional automatic ball lending machine that operates by inserting coins is provided between the pachinko gaming machines to form a gaming table row, the bills received from the front side of the gaming table row are played in the gaming table row. Two rows of game table rows are provided back to back, and the banknote insertion machines that are sent to the back side are provided between the game tables, and are sent out from the banknote insertion machines of each game table row between the backs of these pachinko game table rows. It is conceivable to provide a conveying device for merging the formed banknotes to the collecting position on one end side of the gaming table row so that the banknotes can be collected efficiently without disturbing the player. The bills sent out from the bill inserting machine of the gaming table row are simply allowed to fall freely on the placing and conveying surface of the conveying device such as a conveyor in an irregular posture, and are simply joined and conveyed to the collecting position on the one side of the gaming table row. Conveyed bills stay in the middle of conveyance For example, a large transfer device with a wide horizontal width is provided so that the transfer is likely to be uncertain and that the banknotes that fall freely in an irregular posture can be reliably received by the placement transfer surface of the transfer device. Since it is necessary to secure a wide space for installing the transfer device, there is a possibility that the installation space for the game table will be reduced accordingly. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, effectively utilizing the characteristics of banknotes, and efficiently and smoothly without causing the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion machine of the gaming table row to interfere with the player. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game facility that does not require a large installation space while being capable of being reliably transported and collected.

[0004]

The characteristic features of the present invention for achieving the above object are as follows. It is possible to receive banknotes from a front side of the gaming table row into a gaming table row configured by arranging a plurality of gaming tables side by side in a horizontal direction and send the bills to the back side of the gaming table row in a posture in which the paper surface is in the vertical direction. A plurality of bill inserting machines are provided in a direction along the gaming table row, and B. A sandwiching / conveying device is provided which receives the bills sent out from each of the bill inserting machines provided in the gaming table row, elastically clamps them by a sandwiching carrier, and jointly conveys them to a specific position along the gaming table row. The game equipment is A merging guide unit is provided for abutting the leading end side of the bills sent from each of the bill throwing machines against the holding carrier, and guiding the bill to the holding carrier path by the feeding action of the holding carrier. The game equipment used. A above
Through C, the following operational effects are obtained from such a configuration.

[0005]

[Operation] a. With the configuration of A and B described above, the bills sent out from each of the bill insertion machines can be efficiently collected without any trouble, and without being disturbed by the player when the bills are conveyed along the row of the game table. B. A bill insertion machine that can send out bills received from the front side of the game stand row to the back side of the game stand row in a posture in which the paper surface is along the vertical direction is provided in the game stand row, and the bills sent out from each of the bill insertion machines, Since it is conveyed in series to a specific position in a holding posture along the row of gaming machines, the banknote inserting machine is made thinner,
The bill insertion machine installation space can be made smaller, and the installation space of the game table can be widened accordingly. For example, a bill insertion machine that can send out banknotes to the back side of the game table row with the paper surface along the horizontal direction is provided. In comparison with the case where the fed-out bills are placed and conveyed on the conveyer belt, the bills can be smoothly conveyed in a state where the bills are hard to stay, and can be efficiently and reliably conveyed in a narrow space. C. Since the banknotes are elastically sandwiched and merged and conveyed, the weight of the banknotes that are sandwiched and conveyed is the same as when the banknotes sent out from the banknote inserter are merged in a state where they overlap the previously conveyed banknotes. Even if the holding thickness fluctuates irregularly due to a change in the state, the fluctuation in the thickness can be elastically absorbed, and the conveyance posture can be conveyed with little disturbance. d. With the configuration of C, the bills sent out from the bill insertion machine can be reliably merged into the holding conveyance path of the holding conveyance device. In other words, if the bills are sent out from each of the bill inserting machines by guiding the leading end side of the bills to the holding conveyance path with a guide plate or the like, when the bills have a crease or a curling tendency, the leading end side of the bills becomes the holding conveyance path. It does not easily get stuck in the banknotes, but the leading edge of the banknotes is abutted against the holding carrier, and the bills are positively guided to the holding carrier path by the holding carrier's feeding action. Can be merged into.

As a result of the action a, it is possible to efficiently collect the bills inserted into the bill insertion machine without disturbing the player.
Moreover, by the action of b, it is possible to smoothly convey and efficiently and surely collect without requiring a large installation space, but due to the action of c, there is a possibility that a bill jam may occur due to the disturbance of the conveyance posture. In particular, due to the action of d, the risk of bill jamming is further reduced. The gaming facility according to claim 2 is configured by providing an endless rotating body that is driven and rotated along a holding conveyance path in a state where the holding conveyance body is applied to one side surface of a conveyance bill. Therefore, when the tip end side of the bill is abutted against the endless rotating body, the abutting range can be set wide, and the bill can be more reliably merged with the sandwiching conveyance path.
In the gaming facility according to claim 3, the bill insertion machine is provided with a function of discriminating the quality of bills received in a posture in which the paper surface extends in the vertical direction, and is provided between the game stands. Together with the sandwiching and conveying device, the sandwiching and conveying device is provided between the two rows of the game stands arranged back to back, and holds and conveys the bills sent from each of the bill inserting machines in a posture in which the paper surface is along the vertical direction. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently collect the bills inserted into the bill insertion machines of the left and right amusement machine rows in a state in which the quality thereof is identified, and moreover, the holding and conveying device is compact between the two amusement machine rows. Can be installed in
