Paper slip storage system

A bank note conveying apparatus which corrects the skew or the widthwise direction of the bank notes in the conveying path. The bank note conveying apparatus comprises a path forming member which forms a conveying path having a width larger than that of the bank note, and pinching roller mechanisms which send the bank notes in the conveying path in the conveying direction. The path forming member includes a bank note guide formed along one widthwise end of the conveying path. It also comprises a bank note widthwise arranging mechanism which directs the bank notes in the conveying path toward the bank note guide while feeding the bank notes in the conveying direction. The bank note widthwise arranging mechanism comprises an endless belt which is driven to come into contact with one of the two faces of the bank note, and rotatably supported balls which come into contact with the opposite face of the bank note.

A slot machine which uses pachinko balls as game media. It stores in a memory the number of pachinko balls (unit number) economically equivalent to a medal. During take in of pachinko balls for starting a game and dispensing of pachinko balls as prizes, pachinko balls corresponding to an integral multiplication of the unit number are handled. When the unit number is changed, it can be easily accomplished by a change in a value of the unit number using the change instruction inputting apparatus. In the slot machine, the sprocket which controls the dispensing of the pachinko balls and the ratchet wheel are preferably set on the same axis and disengageably linked by a fixing projection and a fixing concave provided on them for conjoint rotation when required.

A bank note conveying apparatus provides stable conveyance of bank notes by firmly pinching the bank notes from both sides. The apparatus comprises an endless belt 1 contacting one of the two faces of a bank note A, a belt driving mechanism which rotates the endless belt 1, a ball 2 which is provided to come into contact with the opposite face of the two faces of the bank note, and a holder 4 which supports the ball 2 to rotate freely. The holder 4 comprises a casing 4a which houses the ball 2 so that it is movable in the direction to and from the endless belt. A coil spring 7 is provided within the casing 4a which pushes the ball 2 in the direction of the endless belt.

A bank note conveying equipment which is capable of preventing a jam during conveyance of bank note caused by damaged bank note and any problems in collecting and storing the bank note in a bank note storing unit. Bank notes are held between a pinch roller and an endless belt on a bank note conveying path, and conveyed along the bank note conveying path according to the rotation of the endless belt. When the bank note deviates from the bank note conveying path, either of modifying rollers provided outside the bank note conveying path in the widthwise direction thereof holds the bank note therebetween and rotates so that the bank note may be brought back to the bank note conveying path, and thereby correcting the conveying posture.
