The bank note widthwise arranging mechanism comprises an endless belt which is driven to come into contact with one of the two faces of the bank note, and rotatably supported balls which come into contact with the opposite face of the bank note.

Abstract: An exchange machine is provided with a bank note qualification detecting unit for detecting the qualification of a recovered bank note, a conveying unit for conveying the bank note to a stacking unit for recovery when the bank note qualification detecting unit determines that the bank note is damaged, and a conveying unit for conveying the bank note to a stacking unit for exchange when the bank note qualification detecting unit determines that the bank note is not damaged.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus having a cooling body with a plurality of fins arrayed in parallel on and fixed to a metal flat plate, wherein each of the fins is formed by bending at least one of upper and lower edge sections thereof at an angle or with notches and projections provided at multiple places in the edge sections on a line crossing the bending direction at right angles. The notch of one fin engages with the projection of the next fin when the fins are arranged in parallel on the metal flat plate.

Abstract: A slot machine which uses pachinko balls as game media. It stores in a memory the number of pachinko balls (unit number) economically equivalent to a medal. During take in of pachinko balls for starting a game and dispensing of pachinko balls as prizes, pachinko balls corresponding to an integral multiplication of the unit number are handled. When the unit number is changed, it can be easily accomplished by a change in a value of the unit number using the change instruction inputting apparatus. In the slot machine, the sprocket which controls the dispensing of the pachinko balls and the ratchet wheel are preferably set on the same axis and disengageably linked by a fixing projection and a fixing concave provided on them for conjoint rotation when required.
