DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a cash card according to the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, A is a cash card used in the pachinko industry for cashing prizes for lending balls, and is basically composed of a substrate 1, a magnetic body 2 and a lid 3. .

When this cash card A is supplied to an external detecting means other than the cash card A itself, that is, a cash card reading device B which will be described later, the authenticity of the card A is discriminated.
It is configured so that the denomination of how much the amount of money on the card A is displayed is read at the same time. For example, 100 yen, 200 yen, 500 yen, 1000 yen, 2000
Multiple types (7 types) such as yen, 3000 yen, 5000 yen are prepared.

The substrate 1 is formed of a non-magnetic synthetic resin, such as ABS resin, into a rectangular shape such as a rectangle, a polygon, or a circle.
It is colored so that it can be easily visually identified, such as yellow, and the denomination or the use area is changed for each of these colors, but in this embodiment, the width is 84 m.
A square shape with m, height 54 mm, and thickness 3 mm was used.

The above-mentioned magnetic body 2 is one in which a magnet such as ferrite is embedded in the substrate 1 so that the magnetic sensor 9 in the above-mentioned cash card reading apparatus B reacts.
As shown in FIG. 3, it is embedded in two concave fitting portions 4 provided in a diagonal shape on the substrate 1.

The magnetic material 2 may be embedded in one piece, but even when the cash card A itself is inserted with 180 ° turned upside down when it is made to correspond to the magnetic sensor 9. It is preferable to have two or more locations that can be uniformly detected.

The magnetic body 2 uses a plurality of magnets having different magnetic flux densities so that even a large number of denominations can be easily discriminated as described above. Gaussian, 700 Gaussian, and 800 Gaussian ones are used alone or in combination with those having different magnetic flux densities, and the magnetic force density can be arbitrarily set.

The magnetic flux density in the magnetic body 2 is, for example, 550 to 650 gauss, 700 in the case of 600 gauss.
In the case of Gauss, there may be variations between the upper and lower limits of 650 to 750 Gauss, so when using magnetic bodies 2 and 2 with different magnetic flux densities, for example, It is preferable not to use 600 Gauss and 700 Gauss in close proximity.

Further, even in the case of the magnet 2 having the same magnetic flux density, the detection result by the magnetic sensor 9 is different between the case where the + pole of the polarity is embedded upward and the case where the − pole is embedded upward. By combining these + and-poles, the range of denominations to be set widens.

Therefore, for example, a positive pole 600 Gauss
It can be set as 100 yen, -500 for a negative pole of 600 Gauss, 2,000 yen for a positive pole of 700 Gauss, and 5,000 yen for a combination of a positive pole of 600 Gauss and a positive pole of 800 Gauss. These data are input to the control means described later.

The lid 3 described above covers the surface of the magnetic body 2, and is made of synthetic resin such as non-magnetic material such as polycarbonate to be slightly smaller than the substrate 1 in a similar shape to form a similar shape. The magnetic body 2 can be enclosed in the base body 1 by fitting the base body 1 and the lid body 3 with an ultrasonic welder or the like after fitting them to the fitting portion 5 formed on the outer peripheral edge. Therefore, its upper surface is aligned with the surface of the substrate 1.

A belt conveyor in which a flat belt 19 is suspended endlessly on shafts 17 and 18 is used, and is continuously transferred by a drive member 20 such as a motor.

At this time, a plurality of cash exchange cards A loaded in the hopper 16 are placed on the flat belt 19 in the transfer means 8 in a state of being stacked, and the number of the exchanged cards A is increased as the transfer means 8 is driven. Those that are sent one by one to the other side, and the second or more from the bottom of the stacked cash cards A are
It is held so as not to move with a restraining piece 21 attached to the peripheral portion of the receiving portion 7.

The above-mentioned magnetic sensor 9 detects the magnetic flux density of the magnetic body 2 by reacting with the magnetic body 2 embedded in the cash card A, which is provided during the transfer of the transfer means 8.
The generated voltage or current signal is sent to the control means 15 via an amplifier (not shown).

The distribution means 10 corresponds to the transfer end portion of the transfer means 8 and operates the good product cash card A and the defective product cash card A sent by the transfer means 8 as an operating means.
The rotary plate 24 is swingably supported by the support shaft 23, and is rotated and tilted by the operating means 22 for transmitting the rotation of the operating member 25 such as a motor through the linking member 26. Operate so as to correspond to the position.

The discharge chute 11 is tilted so as to be naturally dropped downward, and is connected to the sorting means 10 to send the non-defective item cash card A to the outside of the frame 1.
When the rotary plate 24 by 10 corresponds to the horizontal position, it is taken out from the discharge port 12 connected to the transfer end.

Further, a stocker 27 for accumulating the non-defective item cash card A is attached to the discharge port 12 so that the taken out items are not scattered.

The return chute 13 is tilted so as to be dropped downward and is connected to the sorting means 10 to take out the defective product cash card A to the outside of the frame 1. When the rotating plate 24 corresponds to the inclined position, it is taken out from the return port 14 connected to the transfer end.

The control means 15 described above cooperates with the magnetic sensor 9 to control the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 9 according to the magnetic flux density in the magnetic body 2 of the cash exchange card A.
