A flow path switching valve has an injection side portion formed with an injection chamber and an outer valve seating surface, and a discharge side portion provided with a partition member formed with an inner valve seating surface. A discharge control block communicating with a discharge chamber is formed with a control flow path which is increased and decreased in volume by a discharge rod. To fill the control flow path with grease, a valve element closes an inner flow path and opens an outer flow path. On the other hand, to discharge the grease in the control flow path to the discharge chamber, the valve element closes the outer flow path and opens the inner flow path. After being supplied to the control flow path, the grease is supplied to the discharge chamber.

Disclosed is an optical element which includes a support substrate and a thin plate of single crystal stacked on the support substrate through a thermoplastic adhesive, having the advantages of easily regulating the phase of light waves and restoring the regulated state to the original state. The optical element includes a support substrateand a thin plateof single crystal stacked on the support substratethrough a thermoplastic adhesive. The optical characteristics of the optical element are regulated by applying stress within an elastic limit to at least a part of the thin plate in a state where the thermoplastic adhesive is softened by heating the optical element, forming a concavo-convex partin the thin plate, and then cooling the optical element to fix the concavo-convex part.

A loop track for racing objects is disposed at the center of a race game device, for example for a simulated horse race. A plurality of racing objects, such as race horses, run on the track. The X- and Y-directional positions of the race horses are detected by a separable position detecting means underlying the track. The separable position detecting means allows for easier maintenance, transport, assembly, and disassembly of the device. Information regarding the positions of the horses is displayed on a game screen. Players can write memos to themselves on individual game screens by pressing a trace over the game information on the game screen. A control unit provides game information corresponding to other races other than a current race, including future races, and players may select information corresponding to future races on the individual game screen.

A loop track for race horses is disposed at the center of a horse race game device. Twelve race horses run on the track. A gate is disposed in a paddock in the track. The gate is advanced to a start point of the track from the paddock. Twelve satellites are disposed on three sides of the track. A large projector for displaying images of developments, etc. of a race is disposed on one of the short sides of the track. Speakers for live broadcasting, fanfares, BGM, etc. are disposed on both sides of the large projector. The horse race game device enables a larger number of running objects to be raced at once, whereby race developments are made more amusing.

A money receiving-paying machine of an integral structure includes a thin compact circulation type bill receiving-paying process portion and a thin compact circulation type coin receiving-paying process portion aligned side by side. The circulation type bill receiving-paying process portion includes a circulation type bill housing portion for sequentially housing bills regardless of their denominations, and a returning-bill transferring path for returning a bill to the circulation type bill housing portion by a first changeover gate when a bill has been identified as not necessary even if the bill is discharged in circulation. The bills are transferred in a bill short-side direction. The circulation type bill receiving-paying process portion includes rotation type coin receiving cylinders according to denominations positioned in an inclined bill or substantially horizontal state, so that upright coins can be housed therein in an orderly stacked state. The money receiving-paying machine is significantly thinner and compact so as to have the same dimension as that of a cash drawer box.
