A paper strip conveying apparatus provided along an objective conveying path, comprising an endless belt having its periphery in contact with one of the two faces of the paper strip and a plurality of pulleys provided along the conveying path so that their peripheries come in contact with the other face of the paper strip, between which a paper strip is pinched and conveyed. The object of the present invention is to shorten the length of the electric wire through which static electricity charged in a pulley flows out. In the present invention, both a pulley fixing board which supports the pulleys and a main body frame formed along the conveying path are formed of conductive material, and are electrically connected by a conductor.

Ground mechanism for a paper strip conveying mechanism

A game machine island comprising ball lending machines each disposed between two adjoining game machines and ball lending machines of the same type arranged at the ends of the line of the game machines, respectively. A drive unit and a driven unit have introducing paths communicating with bank note discharging slots of the ball lending machines arranged at the ends of the island, respectively, for directly introducing bank notes discharged from the ball lending machines to the conveying belt. In the construction of the island, the installation and the wiring is carried out efficiently, and the workability of the installation can be enhanced, and the cost can be reduced.

Game machine island

The paper strip conveying apparatus includes a conveying roller which is provided in such a manner that the outer peripheral plane comes into contact with one surface of a paper strip, a roller drive mechanism which rotates the conveying roller and a paper strip biasing member which is provided in such a manner that the tip portion comes into contact with the other surface of the paper strip. A convex portion is formed circularly along the outer peripheral plane of the conveying roller. The paper strip biasing member has a concave portion into which the convex portion of the conveying roller fits without contact at the tip portion. When the paper strip is sandwiched between the conveying roller and the paper strip biasing member, since the convex portion of the conveying roller fits into the concave portion of the paper strip biasing member, the paper strip is forcedly flexed so as to be urged onto the convex portion of the conveying roller and conveyed by the rotation of the conveying roller. In the other cases, since the conveying roller and the paper strip biasing member do not come into contact with each other, the conveying roller does not receive any external force, which results in reduction of rotation load of the conveying roller.
