BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a paper slip transport system for guiding paper slips from paper slip dischargers, scattered along a main transport passage to the main transport passage, and for transporting the paper slips along the main transport passage.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
A pachinko (Japanese pinball) hall has a plurality of pachinko islands, each of which comprises a plurality of pachinko machine for playing games with pachinko balls, a plurality of ball lending machines for accepting a bill and dispensing as many pachinko balls as the number of balls corresponding to the denomination of the bill, a cashbox for storing the bills input to the ball lending machines, and a bill transport system for transporting the bills input to the ball lending machines to the cashbox. The pachinko island has the pachinko machines and the ball lending machines arranged alternately in a row for defining a pachinko machine row. The bill transport system is disposed along the pachinko machine row behind the row.
As shown in FIG. 14, the bill transport system has a guide passage I for guiding paper slips from the ball lending machine to a main transport passage M in addition to the main transport passage M disposed in line along the pachinko machine row. The main transport passage M is provided with an endless belt 25 along the transport passage M and pressure rollers 27 and 28 so as to face the endless belt 25. In the main transport passage M, bills are sandwiched between the endless belt 25 and the pressure rollers 27 and 28 and the sandwiched bills are transported by driving the endless belt 25. On the other hand, a feed roller 91 is placed on the guide passage I so that a part of the feed roller projects into the inside of the guide passage I. The feed roller 91 is linked with the pressure roller 27 and a belt 92 placed downstream from the main transport passage M when the guide passage I is considered to be the center of the main transport passage M. In the guide passage I, bills guided thereinto are sent to the main transport passage M by the feed roller 91 rotated by rotation of the pressure roller 27.
However, in such a related art, the driving force of the endless belt 25 is transmitted to the feed roller 91 via the two pressure rollers 27 and the belt 92, which are power transmission members, and in addition, power is transmitted by a friction force between the endless belt 25 and the pressure rollers 27, between the pressure rollers 27 and the belt 92, and between the belt 92 and the feed roller 91. Thus, the driving force of the endless belt 25 cannot be efficiently transmitted to the feed roller 91 and sometimes bills may be unable to be transported through the guide passage I.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a paper slip transport system that can efficiently transmit the driving force of an endless belt to feed rollers for securely transporting paper slips through guide passages.
To this end, according to the invention, there is provided a paper slip transport system for guiding paper slips from paper slip dischargers, scattered along a main transport passage to the main transport passage, and transporting the paper slips along the main transport passage, the transport system comprising: having an outer peripheral surface coming in contact with one of front and rear faces of the paper slips transported along the main transport passage; passage and having outer peripheral surfaces coming in contact with the other of front and rear faces of the paper slips transported along the main transport passage for pressing the paper slips against the endless belt; guiding paper slips from the paper slip discharger to the main transport passage; direction of the paper slips and parallel to the paper slips being transported and having at least a part entering the inside of the guide passage member so that the outer peripheral surface of the feed roller comes in contact with one of front and rear faces of the bills arriving at the guide passage from the paper
