搬送される。[0010] By the transport means 104, a thin plate (hereinafter referred to as a bill) 110 is transferred to the inner wall 11 of the transport rail 111.
When the banknote 110 is pinched and conveyed between the banknote 110 and the banknote 110 is pinched between the surface of the protrusion 109 for the conveyance means and the concave portion 113 having a small depth provided on the inner wall 112 of the conveyance rail 111, The banknote is bent by the unevenness and generates a restoring force of the banknote, so that the banknote is conveyed by the increased frictional force. At this time, since the elastic body 106 is formed to have a thickness larger than the inner width of the transport rail so as to generate a pressing force on the inner wall of the transport rail, the elastic body 106 attached to the transport means 104 A pressing force is generated against the inner wall surface of the transport rail 111 by a reaction force. Due to the pressing force on the inner wall surface, a frictional force is generated between the bill 110 and the bill 110, and the bill 110 is transported by the rotation of the endless belt 103.
The sheet is conveyed between the inner wall 112 and the first inner wall 112 by the sliding conveyance means 104.

白である。Here, the coefficient of friction μ between the bill 110 and the surface of the projection 109, the bill 110 and the transport rail 111
, The friction coefficient μ (0) between the inner walls 112, the weight w of the bill 104, and the pressing force P by the elastic body 106,
The holding force f by the transporting means 104 for transporting the banknote 110 when nipping and transporting the paper money by 04 is f = μP− (μ (0) · P + w). For example, if the material of the holding member 108 on the surface of the convex portion 109 is rubber, the friction coefficient μ 摩擦 0.8 with the bill 110, the bill 110 and the inner wall 11 of the transport rail 111
Coefficient of friction μ (0) ≒ 0.3 with the weight of banknote w ≒ 1.
Assuming that 2 g and the pressing force P by the elastic body 106 are about 10 g,
The holding force f by the transporting means for pinching and transporting the banknote is calculated as f = 6.5 g. Since there is no force acting on the bill other than the holding force f of the transfer means 104 other than f = 6.5 g, the rotating member 103
It is clear that the banknote is conveyed while being pinched between the conveyance means 104 and the inner wall 112 of the conveyance rail 111 by rotating.

As a result, it was confirmed that the bills were reliably pinched and transported by the transport means 104. Therefore, as described above, according to the present invention, the bill 1 is moved between the transport means 104 and the inner wall 112 of the transport rail 111 by the reaction force of the pressing member (for example, a spring or an elastic body).
10 by using a material that increases the frictional resistance between the transport means 104 and the bill 110 by using a material that increases the frictional resistance between the bill 110 and the inner wall 112 of the transport rail 111, thereby clamping the paper 10 due to a difference in frictional force. Can be transported. Further, when the bill 110 is inserted from the plurality of bill insertion ports 119, the bill 11 is located downstream of the endless belt.
Even when 0 is in the transport rail 111 and is in a standby state, the frictional force between the bills is small, so that the bills are conveyed from the upstream while being pressed by the elastic body 106 attached to the carrying means 104. The incoming banknote 110 slides over the waiting downstream banknote, so that it does not jam.

4 and the convex portion 115 of the inner wall 112 of the transport rail 111 are made of a material having a small coefficient of friction to make it slippery. Since it does not come into contact with the inner wall 112 of the rail 111, even when the banknote 110 is not sandwiched, the transport unit 104 can smoothly move the transport rail 111.
You can move inside. Next, a case in which the bill transporting device of the present invention is attached to a gaming machine island will be described in detail in comparison with a conventional example. FIG. 12 is an overall view of the gaming machine island 170, and FIG. 13 is a sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. 171 is a gaming machine, and 172 is a gaming medium lending machine. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a state in which a bill transporting device, which is a thin plate-like body transporting device, is installed in a gap between two gaming rows of the gaming machine island 170.

なければならない。As shown in FIG. 14, in the conventional example, a bill inserted from the bill processing machine 5 at the bill receiving port is pushed into a transport conveyor and determined to be downstream by a transport belt after a true cancer is determined. Transported. After the bill inserted from the bill processing machine 5 is confirmed to be true cancer, this bill is sent out to the transport conveyor and is sandwiched between the main belt 4 and the auxiliary belt 9 to start the transport. I have. However, when another banknote is approaching the immediately upstream side, the banknote in the above-mentioned insertion portion must wait until the upstream side banknote passes to prevent two banknotes from being conveyed in a stacked manner. No. This is because, at present, it is necessary to transport bills one by one and send them one by one to a stacker in order to accurately arrange bills and measure the number of bills. Therefore, the conventional example (Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-196)
373), the auxiliary rollers 7 and 8 pressed against the main belt 4 by springs can sufficiently cope with a plurality of stacked banknotes.
Actually, two bills are not stacked and sent to the stacker, so it is impossible to convey the two bills in a stacked state, and the inserted bill must wait until the upstream bill passes as described above. .

を待機中の紙幣１１０と滑り通過出来るものである。Next, when a bill is inserted as described above and another bill is approaching the immediately upstream side, the inserted bill must wait until the upstream side bill passes. At that time, conventionally, the inserted bill must be temporarily stopped immediately before the leading end thereof reaches the main belt. This is because, when the inserted bill is to be put out to the main belt 4 and is to be put on standby, the leading end of the bill is pinched and pulled by the main belt 4 and the auxiliary belt 9 and is pulled by the holding force for waiting for the bill. This is because of the for that reason,
During standby, the bill had to be held before the leading end reached the main belt. For this reason, when the upstream banknote is going to convey the banknote held after passing through the banknote insertion portion, the banknote is first extruded and the front end portion is sandwiched between the main belt 4 and the auxiliary belt 9 at the same time. A two-stage operation of releasing the banknote and transporting the banknote has been required. For this reason, the control becomes complicated, which easily causes a failure of the bill transfer device, and the cost is high. According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, even when the inserted bill 110 is determined to be a true bill, the bill is inserted from the bill receiving slot 119, and reaches the transport rail through the bill introducing port 110, even when the leading end reaches the conveying rail, Since the bill tip is not pinched by the transport belt, the bill is not pulled by the holding force for making the bill stand by, so that the bill can be made to stand by with the bill leading to the transport rail 111.
Furthermore, the bill on the upstream side can be sent downstream after passing through the inserted bill 110 on standby whose tip is caught in the transport rail when the inserted bill 110 is on standby. This is because the friction between the banknotes when the upstream banknotes being conveyed by the conveying unit 104 and the front end portion of the inserted banknotes 110 on standby are much smaller than the friction between the conveying unit 104 and the banknotes, The upstream banknote can be slid and passed through the standby banknote 110 by the transport means 104.

When the body transporting device is mounted, a gap is formed between the gaming lines, so that the entire island can be formed compactly. Therefore, there is a great advantage that the space of the game hall can be effectively used and the cost of the island itself can be reduced.
