CONVEYING METHOD OF SHEET BODY, AND FACILITIES

To send a rectangular sheet body, such as a bill, to a safe of a bank or a safe attached to a bank that is managed speedily, reliably, and safely by using a duct.SOLUTION: A bill discharged from plural dispensers provided in a bank S of a game parlor YJ is sent to a slit passage 1B having a slender section of a duct 1 by a sheet body feeding device 6, and a hollow spherical body B of a ping-pong ball is fed from a ball feeding device 2 in an upstream side to a center passage 1A in a circular section of the duct 1, then an air flow is directed downstream by a blower 3A, the hollow spherical body B is applied to the middle of a short side of a bill that is waiting in the slit passage 1B in a great circle direction, and the bill is pressed against a downstream side by kinetic energy of the hollow spherical body B and is conveyed, and is fed to a bank safe MB via an extension duct 1N and is housed in the safe. The fed hollow spherical bodies are housed in a downstream ball reception part 5, and three hollow spherical bodies are returned to the ball feeding device 2 via the upstream-side extension duct 1N and the duct 1 by an air flow of a blower 3F together so as to be used for feeding a next bill.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 紙幣等の長方形状のシート体をダクトでもって高速且つ確実・安全に管理されている島金庫又は島付属金庫まで送る。【解決手段】 遊技場ＹＪの島Ｓに設けた複数の貸機から排出される紙幣をシート体送り出し装置６でもってダクト１の細長断面のスリット通路１Ｂに送り込み、又ダクト１の断面円形状の中央通路１Ａに、上流側の玉送り込み装置２からピンポン玉の中空球体Ｂを送り出し、その後に送風機３Ａでもって空気流を下流に向けて、スリット通路１Ｂに待っている紙幣短辺の中間に中空球体Ｂを大円方向に当てて、中空球体Ｂの運動エネルギーで紙幣を下流側へ押圧して移送し、延長ダクト１Ｎを介して島金庫ＭＢまで送って同金庫に収容する。そして、送った中空球体は下流の玉受部５に収容し、３個まとめて送風機３Ｆの空気流によって上流側の延長ダクト１Ｎ・ダクト１を介して玉送り込み装置２まで返球し、次の紙幣送りに使用できるようにする。【選択図】図１
