Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is constructed from a plurality of gaming machines arranged side by side in a row and its associated equipment, and as related equipment, bills and coins are conveyed along the gaming machine row in the island longitudinal direction. The present invention relates to a gaming machine island provided with a carrier device. Here, the game machine mainly refers to a pachinko machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine island of this type has been constructed so that a plurality of pachinko machines are arranged back to back in two rows and extend linearly. A bill transporting device for transporting the bills in the longitudinal direction of the island extending linearly was arranged.

In general, as shown in FIG. 7, a bill transporting device has a housing 2 extending linearly in the longitudinal direction of the island, and drive pulleys 3a arranged at both ends of the housing 2 so as to be separated from each other.
And a driven pulley 3b, and an endless round belt 4 hung between the pulleys 3a and 3b, and a large number of pairs of small pulleys 5 holding the round belt 4 from both sides are provided on the side wall of the housing 2. Be supported.

Such a bill transporting device is a device for holding a bill between a round belt 4 which is rotationally driven and a large number of pairs of small pulleys 5, and transporting the bill in a progressive manner by a frictional force. Also,
A coin transfer device (not shown) for transferring the coins taken into the island in the island longitudinal direction was also provided between the pachinko machine rows, in addition to the above-described banknote transfer device.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine island, in the bill transporting device installed therein, the housing 2 and the round belt 4 which determine the overall length of the device are pachinko machines which are calculated in advance by design. It was standardized and manufactured according to the length of the machine train, and it was very difficult to change the length later.

However, when arranging the banknote transporting device at the time of building an island, it is often the case that the initially assumed length of the pachinko machine row and the length of the banknote transporting device do not actually match. In order to do so, it may take a lot of time and labor to remake the bill transporting device, which may lead to a significant increase in cost.

Further, in the bill transporting device, since the individual small pulleys 5 are rotated so as to be constantly pressed against each other, the durability is difficult and the load applied to the round belt 4 is large. The life of the motor, which is the power source, is generally short, and the replacement of these easily wearable parts was troublesome. Further, since the round belt 4 is brought into contact with the bills and conveyed by the frictional force thereof, there is a problem that the bills are jammed and easily broken.

Further, since the bill transporting device and the coin transporting device are completely separate and independent devices, a large space for disposing the respective transporting devices is required in the island, which leads to an increase in size of the entire island, The work of assembling each of the transport devices on the island is also complicated, and the configuration of the entire island including each transport device becomes more complicated and expensive, and the cost increases.

Therefore, the applicant filed Japanese Patent Application No. 7-235495.
Proposed a game machine island equipped with a carrier device that is constructed by stretching a conveyor belt in the island longitudinal direction. However, the size of the transfer device including the conveyor belt is also standardized in advance, and it is not possible to adjust the length of the transfer device afterwards.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems of the prior art as described above, and appropriately adjusts the length of the money transport device included as a related facility according to the entire length of the gaming machine row. In addition, the currency transport device has few parts that are easily worn out, has excellent durability, can reduce failures in the island due to banknote jamming, etc., and can also efficiently transport banknotes and coins together in the island. The purpose is to provide a game machine island.

3. A plurality of round bars (54), which come into contact with the back side of the conveyor belt (50) on the transport side, are mounted on the upper portion of the conveyor table (41) over substantially the entire length thereof at predetermined intervals, and the extension table (42). ) Inside the base end floating roller (4
5. The gaming machine island (2) according to claim 2, characterized in that a plurality of floating rollers (55) contacting the conveyor belt (50) are mounted at predetermined intervals between the free end roller (5) and the free end roller (46). 10).

Next, the operation based on the above-mentioned solution will be described. According to the gaming machine island (10) described in item 1, the currency transport device (40) mounted therein can be expanded and contracted in the island longitudinal direction so as to correspond to a predetermined length of the gaming machine row. When arranging the currency transport device (40) at the time of construction, even if the initially expected length of the gaming machine row does not match the currency transport device (40), the currency transport device (4
The length of 0) can be adjusted to easily match the length of the gaming machine row.

According to the gaming machine island (10) described in the item (2), the extension stand (42) of the money transfer device (40) is replaced by the conveyor stand (4).
When the conveyor belt (50) is moved back and forth from 1), the conveyor belt (50) is folded around the rollers (43, 44, 45, 46), and the distal end floating roller (46) and the proximal end floating roller (45) are retained. By the movement of, the extension table (42) is expanded and contracted, and the conveyor length can be adjusted steplessly.

The bills and coins taken in the island are delivered to the currency transport device (40) so that they can be placed on the conveyor belt (50) as they are. Then, as the conveyor belt (50) is continuously moved, the banknotes and coins are conveyed together in the island longitudinal direction in which the conveyor belt (50) extends while keeping the flat position on the conveyor belt (50).

As described above, since the currency transporting device (40) does not grip a bill and transports it by a frictional force, for example, components such as a large number of pairs of small pulleys which are easily worn away are unnecessary, and the bill is durable accordingly. In addition, the bills on the conveyor belt (50) are not restrained as in the case where they are held between them, and therefore the bills are unlikely to be jammed during conveyance. Further, according to the gaming machine island (10) described in item 3, the round bar (54) and the floating rollers (55) can favorably support the conveying surface and the intermediate portion of the conveyor belt (50). .
