PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To transfer a disk-shaped article without causing abrasion by providing a cylindrical body on which a height of a passage is slightly higher than the disk- shaped article and a distance between the inner peripheral side and a column body is slightly smaller than a diameter of the disk-shaped article and by which the disk- shaped article is transferred while being rotated by the column body. SOLUTION: A medal lifting device is provided with a driving shaft 16b rotated by a motor, an elastic column body 16c fixed to the periphery of the driving shaft 16b and a columnar cylindrical body 16d arranged so as to be coaxial with the column body 16c. A spiral passage 16e continuing up to a medal discharge port of a high position from a lower inlet along its inner peripheral side surface 16f is formed in the cylindrical body 16d. A height of the spiral passage 16e is set slightly higher than a thickness of a medal M, and a distance L between a circumferential side surface 16f positioned in the inner part of the passage 16e and a surface of the column body 16c is set slightly smaller than a diameter D of the medal M, and the medal M is transferred up to the medal discharge port while rotating along its outer peripheral surface by rotation of the column body 16c. |
