1. A disk feeding device including:
a base body;
a hopper head that stores a disk;
a rotary disk that is disposed in a circular recess formed on a top surface of the base body and is rotatable;
a feeding passage that is provided in the base body and through which the disk fed toward an outside of the disk feeding device passes; and
a guide roller and a feeding member that face each other via the feeding passage,
the rotary disk including a circular through hole that penetrates in a rotation axis direction and a push protrusion that pushes the disk in a rotation direction to move the disk, and moving the disk that is sent to the rotary disk from the hopper head and passes through the through hole with the push protrusion in the rotation direction along a circumferential wall of the circular recess,
the guide roller guiding the disk moved to a predetermined position of the rotation direction toward the feeding passage,
the feeding member being capable of reciprocating in a direction in which a distance from the guide roller is changed, and feeding the disk pinched between the feeding member and the guide roller by a biasing force of a biasing member while being biased toward the guide roller by the biasing member,
wherein the feeding member includes a swing body that is configured to be able to swing within a predetermined swing range and is biased toward the guide roller by the biasing member, a guide pin that is fixed to the swing body and guides the disk moved in the rotation direction by the rotary disk towards the guide roller, and a feeding roller that is fixed to the swing body and pinches the disk guided by the guide pin between the guide roller and itself and feeds the disk towards the feeding passage, and
the disk feeding device comprising:
a holder that includes a frame body defining the swing range of the swing body and holds the biasing member, thereby reciprocally holds the feeding member and is separated from the base body; and
a lock for changing a locking position of the holder with respect to the base body along a track in a direction in which the distance is changed.
