According to the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for polishing a game material, comprising: a carrier for abutting one side of the surface of the game material to move the game material in one direction; and a game material accompanying the movement of the game material. And a holding member for holding the belt for polishing the game material to remove dirt by slidingly contacting with the other side of the surface of the surface of the game material and for holding the game material between the belt and the carrier. The belt is formed in a roll shape in which one long belt is wound along the longitudinal direction thereof, and the winding end of the roll-shaped belt is wound up with the carrier. In an abrading device for a game material in which a portion of a facing belt can be changed, a winding unit for storing the wound belt in a storage case and winding a winding end side of the belt is provided in the storage case. The storage case in which the belt was set was detachably attached to the polishing apparatus body. It can be easily attached to and detached from the polishing apparatus body scrolls shaped grinding zone. Therefore, workability when replacing a dirty bandage with a new one is improved. Further, when the belt is detached from the main body of the polishing apparatus, there is no need to touch the dirty band, so that the operator does not need to stain his hands.

The polishing apparatus main body includes a transporter, a winder for automatically winding the polishing band, a storage unit for storing a storage case in which the polishing band is set, and a storage unit. A lid for covering the lid, the lid being openably and closably connected to the polishing apparatus main body via a coupling mechanism, and further comprising a mounting portion for mounting the storage case, wherein the mounting portion of the opened lid is provided.

The workability when storing the storage case in which is set in the storage portion is good and the mechanism is simplified.

If the holder is provided in the storage case, the holder can be replaced together with the head case, so that the holder can be replaced at an appropriate time.

If the direction in which the belt is wound is reversed from the direction in which the game material is moved by the carrier, as the belt is wound, the game material is polished to remove dirt. Since the belt is always used less frequently, the belt does not adhere to the game material that has been cleaned in the previous process.

If the belt is automatically wound by a winding machine and the length of winding the belt per fixed time is constant, the operator does not need to wind the belt. That saves time. In addition, since the same part of the belt is not used for a long time, the game material can be always polished with a relatively clean belt part, and the game material can be sufficiently cleaned. Furthermore, since the mechanism for automatically winding does not require complicated electronic control or the like, the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

It is to be noted that the belt is automatically wound by a winding machine, and the length of winding the belt per fixed time can be changed according to the number of game materials supplied to the polishing apparatus. If you do n’t have to wind up the belt,
That saves time. In addition, since the same part of the belt is not used for a long time, the game material can be always polished with a relatively clean belt part, and the game material can be sufficiently cleaned. In addition, the degree of dirt removal of the game material can be made uniform among the game materials without variation. Furthermore, it is economical because the belt can be used uniformly without bias.

When the winding of the belt is completed or when the winding of the belt is about to be completed, a means for informing the user of the fact is provided, so that the time when the dirty band should be replaced with a new one is provided. Can be easily grasped and can be surely replaced when it should be replaced.

It should be noted that the game material is spherical, and the game material is located between the belt and the carrier in the middle of the path in which the game material is moved between the belt and the carrier. If a friction member that provides frictional force by contacting a part to be provided is arranged, the spherical game material can be rotated in a direction other than the moving direction in the middle of the moving path, so that the entire surface of the game material is banded. As a result, the entire surface of the game material can be polished to remove dirt. Further, the structure for rotating the spherical game material in a direction other than the moving direction is simple and can be provided at low cost.

If the friction member is provided on the lid, the friction member can be easily cleaned. Further, in the embodiment, since the friction member is fixed to the side of the lid as a separate component from the lid, the workability when replacing the worn friction member with a new one is good.
