Abstract
A passage ticket is conveyered while being sandwiched between conveyer belts, and brought into contact with a rolling element. The passage ticket is held stationary by a stopper whose top end portion is positioned at a conveyer path. A solenoid is operated based on a command for releasing the-holding state, so that the rolling element is rolled. Therefore, the stopper is removed from-the conveyer path, and a pressing roller coupled to the rolling element is pressed onto the conveyer belts. As a result, the passage ticket is surely conveyed as being sandwiched between the conveyer belts when the holding state is released. Therefore, even if erroneous data is contained in the passage ticket issued at an entrance gate, erroneous data can be rapidly corrected at an exit gate.
