DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a paper slip storage system for storing transported paper slips in a paper slip storage container and in particular to a paper slip storage system appropriate for storing bills, installed in a gaming house.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
A conventional paper slip storage system is, for example, as shown in FIG. 7.
When paper slips M are transported to a temporary storage section 1, they are pushed to the inside of a paper slip storage container 2 communicated with the temporary storage section 1 by means of a push plate 3 for performing a push operation from the outside to inside of the paper slip storage container 2. When the push plate 3 is restored to the outside, shutters 4 at the entrance of the paper slip storage container 2, which open and close prevent the paper slips from returning to the temporary storage section 1, so that they are kept inside the paper slip storage container 2. The paper slips in the paper slip storage container 2 are pushed towards the opening and closing shutters 4 by a paper slip pressure spring 5 so that the notes are properly arranged.
In such a conventional paper slip storage system, however, when paper slips M are stored in the paper slip storage container 2, the push plate 3 reciprocates between the outside and inside of the paper slip storage container 2, thus a space for the push plate 3 to reciprocate is required outside the paper slip storage container 2. For this reason, the installation space of the paper slip storage system becomes large. For example, to place such a paper slip storage system in the inside of a gaming machine island in a gaming house, a large space is required; effective use cannot be made of space.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a paper slip storage system which only requires a compact space for installation so that effective use can be made of limited space.
To this end, according to one form of the invention, there is provided a paper slip storage system having a paper slip storage container being placed in conjunction with a transport mechanism for storing transported paper slips, wherein the improvement comprises: temporarily housing it; temporary housing section for guiding the paper slip housed therein to a paper slip storage position of the paper slip storage container; and the temporary housing section against operation of rotational displacement of the temporary housing section and separating the paper slip from the temporary housing section at the paper slip storage position of the paper slip storage container, mechanism for rotationally driving the rotation body, paper slips separated from the temporary housing section and a mechanism being provided under said area for pressing the stacked paper slips in a direction of said rotation body, uppermost one of the stacked paper slips comes into contact with an outer peripheral surface of said rotation body.
The rotational displacement mechanism can have a rotation body and a drive mechanism for rotationally driving the rotation body. For example, a rotation drum is used as the rotation body.
The temporary storage section can have a structure in which a length in a rotation shaft direction of the rotation body is shorter than a length in the same direction of a paper slip housed in the temporary storage section.
The temporary housing section can have a slit-like opening along an axial direction of the rotation body and a depth, when a paper slip is housed, sufficient to allow a part of the paper slip to protrude outward therefrom, Wherein insertion of a paper slip is accepted from one end of the rotation body and the paper slip is discharged through the slit-like opening.
Also, a plurality of the temporary housing sections can be provided, in which case they are equally spaced on the rotation body, for example.
The separation mechanism can consist of a paper slip stop member for blocking tangential movement of a paper slip, the paper slip stop member being placed at a position abutting against a part of a
