However, since it is difficult to send out a sheet having too much flexibility, it is preferable to have an appropriate thickness.

A rotary roller 12 for stacking and holding a predetermined number of cards is arranged on the bottom of the card storage frame 10 and is output to the rotary roller 12 according to the game result of the game mechanism 4. A motor 20 is connected which is energized by a signal and sends out the bottommost card of the stacked cards. In the illustrated example, the rotary roller 12 has both ends supported in parallel vertical both side surfaces 10a, 10a, and a pulley 31 is fixed to a shaft portion protruding from one side surface 10a. A motor 20 is arranged below the rotary roller 12, and the motor 20
The belt 41 is hung on the pulley 32 fixed to the drive shaft of the above and the pulley 31 of the above-mentioned rotary roller 12, and the rotary roller 12 is rotated in the arrow P1 direction by energizing the motor 20, that is, in the state shown in FIG. It is designed to rotate right. The rotary roller 12 is provided with a parallel roller 12 'which is rotatable in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary roller 12 (on the left side in FIG. 2), and the card C has the parallel roller 12' and the parallel roller 12 '. It is designed to be stacked on top of the parallel roller 12 '.
Is not rotated by the motor 20.
That is, the belt 41 is also hung on the pulley indicated by reference numeral 33 in FIG. 2, and the axis of this pulley 33 is a parallel roller.
It is not common to 12 ', but is separately supported on the side surface 10a, and the parallel roller 12' is simply rotatably supported between the parallel vertical side surfaces 10a, 10a. After passing over this parallel roller 12 ', the second card C from the bottom
However, the parallel rollers 12 'do not rotate at this time so that the two cards cannot be sent out by superimposing a part of them.

And, a card passage port 13 is provided on the vertical front face 10c,
A card discharge port 6 is provided on the wall surface of the main body 1 located in front of the card passage port 13. That is, the card storage frame 10 is arranged at the back of the card discharge port 6 shown in FIG. 1 with the vertical front surface 10c in front, and the card C sent out from the card passage port 13 is a card. It is adapted to be discharged from the main body 1 through the discharge port 6.

The two-sheet feed prevention roller 50 is parallel to the rotation roller 12 and rotates in the same direction as the rotation roller 12, and a feed roller 51 located above the feed roller 51 and rotated in the same direction as the feed roller 51. It is composed of a return roller 52. That is, as shown most clearly in FIG. 3, the pulley protruding from the side surface 10a is provided with the pulley 31 'on the rotary roller 12 and the feed roller.
The pulley 34 is returned to 51, the pulley 35 is fixed to the roller 52, and the belt 42 is hung on these pulleys 31 ′, 34, and 35,
The rotation of the rotary roller 12 causes the feed roller 51 to rotate in the same direction as the rotary roller 12 and the return roller 52 to rotate in the same direction as indicated by arrow P2. The card is designed to be retracted by the return roller 52. Therefore, the space between the bottom of the return roller 52 and the top of the feed roller 51 is set to be equal to or larger than the thickness of one card C and equal to or smaller than the thickness of two cards C. This gap is formed by a known means (not shown). It is good to be able to adjust.

In addition, the above limit switch 60 has a limit switch at its tip when the card C is sent out from the card passage opening 13.
