ベース部材(62)は、主に図6及び図8に示すように、コイン一括トレイ(61)の後側に後傾姿勢で固定されるとともに、その前面には、回転盤(63)を厚み方向に収容する深さを有する凹部(62a)が設けられている。   As shown mainly in FIGS. 6 and 8, the base member (62) is fixed to the rear side of the coin collective tray (61) in a backward inclined posture, and a turntable (63) is formed on the front surface of the base member (62). A recess (62a) having a depth to be accommodated in the direction is provided.

回転盤(63)は、図8に示すように、ベース部材(62)の凹部(62a)に前面側から収容されるとともに、コイン一括トレイ(61)の落し込み部(61b)に対してほぼ30度後傾した姿勢で、前上がりにほぼ30度傾いた軸線方向(X)、すなわち水平方向に対して傾斜した回転軸(65a)により、ベース部材(62)の凹部(62a)に枢支される。これにより、回転盤(63)の前面、すなわち水平角が鈍角で、かつコイン一括トレイ(61)の落し込み部(61b)に対向する一側面は、コイン一括トレイ(61)の対向面(61c)に対して鋭角(ほぼ30度)の関係になるように対向し、落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)と回転盤(63)の前面との間に、多数の遊技メダルが前後方向に重なり合って落ち込むのを阻止することができ、取込孔(63a)による遊技メダルの取り込みを確実に行うことができる。なお、軸線方向(X)は、モータ(65)の回転軸(65a)の軸線方向と一致する。また、図8から理解できるように、落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)の下端部とベース部材(62)の前面との間には、回転盤(63)の下端部が介在される。 As shown in FIG. 8, the turntable (63) is housed in the recess (62a) of the base member (62) from the front side, and is substantially the same as the drop portion (61b) of the coin batch tray (61). It is pivotally supported in the recess (62a) of the base member (62) by the axis direction (X) tilted by about 30 degrees in the forward tilt and the rotation axis (65a) tilted with respect to the horizontal direction. Is done. Thus, the front surface of the rotating disk (63), i.e., the horizontal angle is an obtuse angle and the one side surface facing the drop portion (61b) of the coin batch tray (61) is the opposite surface (61c) of the coin batch tray (61). ) With a sharp angle (approximately 30 degrees), and a large number of game medals move forward and backward between the facing surface (61c) of the drop-in part (61b) and the front surface of the turntable (63). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the medals from being overlapped in the direction and to take in the game medal through the take-in hole (63a). The axial direction (X) coincides with the axial direction of the rotating shaft (65a) of the motor (65). Further, as can be understood from FIG. 8, the lower end portion of the rotating disk (63) is interposed between the lower end portion of the facing surface (61c) of the drop portion (61b) and the front surface of the base member (62). The

なお、ベース部材(62)の凹部(62a)の深さは、回転盤(63)がベース部材(62)より前方へ突出しないように、回転盤(63)の厚みより僅かに深くなっている。   The depth of the recess (62a) of the base member (62) is slightly deeper than the thickness of the turntable (63) so that the turntable (63) does not protrude forward from the base member (62). .

回転盤(63)には、コイン一括トレイ(61)の落し込み部(61b)に落ち込んだ遊技メダルをメダル厚み方向に、回転盤(63)の前面側から、回転盤(63)の後面側、すなわち水平角が鋭角になる他側面に通過させる円形の取込孔(63a)が複数個(本実施形態においては4個)設けられている。   On the turntable (63), game medals that have fallen into the drop-in part (61b) of the coin batch tray (61) are arranged in the medal thickness direction from the front side of the turntable (63) to the rear side of the turntable (63). That is, a plurality of (four in the present embodiment) circular intake holes (63a) are provided for passing through the other side surface where the horizontal angle is an acute angle.

取込孔(63a)は、回転盤(63)の回転により、後述の取込位置(B)においてコイン一括トレイ(61)に投入された遊技メダルをその厚み方向を前後方向へ向けた状態で取り込んで、後述の送出位置(C)において回転盤(63)の後方へ送出するように作用する。また、取込孔(63a)を複数としたことにより、遊技メダルの取込及び送出を迅速に行うことができるようになっている。   The take-in hole (63a) is a state in which the game medals thrown into the coin collective tray (61) at the take-in position (B), which will be described later, are rotated in the thickness direction in the front-rear direction by the rotation of the turntable (63). It takes in and acts so that it may send out behind a turntable (63) in the below-mentioned sending position (C). In addition, by using a plurality of take-in holes (63a), it is possible to quickly take in and send out game medals.

回転盤(63)における各取込孔(63a)が設けられた部分の前後方向の厚みは、遊技メダル1枚分の厚みより僅かに大きく、かつ遊技メダル2枚分の厚みより小さくなるように設定されている。これにより、取込孔(63a)に遊技メダルを確実に取り込むことができるとともに、遊技メダルを確実に送出位置(B)に搬送することができる。   The thickness in the front-rear direction of the portion provided with each intake hole (63a) in the turntable (63) is slightly larger than the thickness of one game medal and smaller than the thickness of two game medals. Is set. Thereby, the game medal can be surely taken into the take-in hole (63a), and the game medal can be reliably conveyed to the sending position (B).

回転盤(63)は、回転盤(63)の後面に沿って設けられるベース部材(62)との協同作用をもって、モータ(65)により、図4及び図5において反時計方向へ回転させられると、複数の取込孔(63a)のうち取込位置(B)(本実施形態においては、最下位位置)にある取込孔(63a)によって、落し込み部(61b)に貯留されている遊技メダルを前面側から取り込み可能で、かつ遊技メダルを取り込んだ取込孔(63a)が送出位置(C)(本実施形態においては、最上位位置を僅かに過ぎた位置)に変位すると、後述のように、遊技メダルを取込孔(63a)から後方へ送出させるようになっている。   When the turntable (63) is rotated counterclockwise in FIGS. 4 and 5 by the motor (65) in cooperation with the base member (62) provided along the rear surface of the turntable (63). A game stored in the drop-in portion (61b) by the intake hole (63a) in the intake position (B) (the lowest position in the present embodiment) among the plurality of intake holes (63a) When the medal can be taken in from the front side and the take-in hole (63a) into which the game medal is taken is displaced to the sending position (C) (in this embodiment, a position slightly past the uppermost position) As described above, the game medals are sent backward from the take-in hole (63a).

ベース部材(62)は、回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、取込孔(63a)が取込位置(B)から送出位置(C)に向けて変位するまでの範囲において、取込孔(63a)に取り込まれた遊技メダルが取込孔(63a)から回転盤(63)の後面側に抜け出すことがないように、取込孔(63a)の後方を閉塞して、遊技メダルを回転盤(63)の回転方向へ沿って搬送可能とする閉塞部(62c)と、遊技メダルを取り込んだ取込孔(63a)が送出位置(C)に変位したとき、遊技メダルがその厚み方向を前後方向に向けた状態で、取込孔(63a)から回転盤(63)の後面側に送出されるように、取込孔(63a)の後方を開放する送出口(62b)とを有している。   The base member (62) has an intake hole in a range until the intake hole (63a) is displaced from the intake position (B) toward the delivery position (C) as the turntable (63) rotates. Rotate the game medal by closing the back of the take-in hole (63a) so that the game medal taken into (63a) does not come out from the take-in hole (63a) to the rear side of the turntable (63) When the closing part (62c) that can be conveyed along the rotation direction of the board (63) and the take-in hole (63a) into which the game medal is taken are displaced to the delivery position (C), the game medal changes its thickness direction. A feed outlet (62b) that opens the rear of the intake hole (63a) so as to be sent out from the intake hole (63a) to the rear surface side of the turntable (63) in a state of being directed in the front-rear direction. ing.

ガイド部材(64)は、ベース部材(62)の後面側に固定されるとともに、その前面側には、回転盤(63)の取込孔(63a)から送出されてベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)を通過した遊技メダルを、遊技メダルセレクターに向けて誘導するための下向き排出溝(64a)が設けられている。この排出溝(64a)の上部は、ベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)に対向する位置に設けられる。   The guide member (64) is fixed to the rear surface side of the base member (62), and on the front surface side, the guide member (64) is fed from the intake hole (63a) of the rotating disk (63) and fed to the base member (62). A downward discharge groove (64a) for guiding the game medal that has passed through the outlet (62b) toward the game medal selector is provided. The upper part of the discharge groove (64a) is provided at a position facing the delivery port (62b) of the base member (62).

排出溝(64a)の上部右側縁、すなわち取込孔(63a)の取込位置に対応する部分には、遊技メダルが取込孔(63a)から抜け出て、排出溝(64a)に入り込むときの当接音を緩和するための、遊技メダルの移動方向に沿って、後ろ向き傾斜面(64b)が設けられている。   The upper right edge of the discharge groove (64a), that is, the part corresponding to the position where the intake hole (63a) is taken in is when the game medal comes out of the intake hole (63a) and enters the discharge groove (64a). A backward-facing inclined surface (64b) is provided along the moving direction of the game medal for relaxing the contact sound.

遊技メダル(100)は、取込孔(63a)から排出溝(64a)に移動するとき、図11に示すように、先にその移動方向の前端部が排出溝(64a)に入り込み、次いで、後端部が排出溝(64a)に入り込む。このとき、図12に示すように、遊技メダル(100)の後端部が、傾斜面(64b)に案内されて、徐々に排出溝(64a)に入り込ませることが可能となり、遊技メダル(100)を円滑かつ静かに排出溝(64a)に移動させることが可能となる。   When the game medal (100) moves from the take-in hole (63a) to the discharge groove (64a), as shown in FIG. 11, the front end in the moving direction first enters the discharge groove (64a), and then The rear end enters the discharge groove (64a). At this time, as shown in FIG. 12, the rear end portion of the game medal (100) is guided by the inclined surface (64b) and can gradually enter the discharge groove (64a). ) Can be smoothly and quietly moved to the discharge groove (64a).

隠蔽部材(66)は、正面視ほぼ上向き半円状をなして、回転盤(63)のほぼ上半分の前面を覆うようにベース部材(62)に固定されることにより、取込位置(B)またはその近傍にある取込孔(63a)以外の取込孔(63a)の一部または全体を隠蔽することができる。これにより、隠蔽部材(66)により前方が隠蔽された取込孔(63a)に対する異物の入り込みを阻止して、回転盤(63)を常時円滑に回転させることができる。   The concealing member (66) has a semicircular shape substantially upward when viewed from the front, and is fixed to the base member (62) so as to cover the front surface of the upper half of the rotating disk (63). ) Or a part or the whole of the intake hole (63a) other than the intake hole (63a) in the vicinity thereof. This prevents foreign matter from entering the intake hole (63a) whose front is concealed by the concealing member (66), so that the rotating disk (63) can always rotate smoothly.

なお、本実施形態における隠蔽部材(66)の右下縁部は、コイン通過制限手段(67)を形成している。このコイン通過制手段(67)は、回転盤(63)の前側にあって、かつ取込孔(63a)が取込位置(B)から送出位置(C)へ移動する経路の途中に設けられ、取込孔(63a)に2枚の遊技メダルが重なって取り込まれた場合、後から取り込まれた方の遊技メダルを取込孔(63a)から退かすためのものである。 In the present embodiment, the lower right edge portion of the concealing member (66) forms a coin passage restricting means (67). The coin passing restriction means (67) is provided in the middle of the path In the front of the rotating disk (63), and the intake holes (63a) is moved to the delivery position from the loading position (B) (C) When two game medals are taken into the take-in hole (63a) in a superimposed manner, the game medal that has been taken in later is retreated from the take-in hole (63a).

コイン通過制限手段(67)と回転盤(63)の前面との間の隙間は、図10に示すように、取込孔(63a)に2枚の遊技メダル(100)が重なって取り込まれた場合、後から取り込まれた方の前側の遊技メダル(100)が取込孔(63a)から前方へ突出する量より狭くなるように設定されている。   As shown in FIG. 10, the gap between the coin passage restriction means (67) and the front surface of the turntable (63) was taken in with two game medals (100) overlapped in the take-in hole (63a). In this case, it is set so that the front game medal (100) that is taken in later is narrower than the amount protruding forward from the take-in hole (63a).

隠蔽部材(66)の後面の左半分、すなわち取込位置(C)にある取込孔(63a)に対向する部分(ベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)と対向する部分)には、遊技メダルの逃がし部(66a)が設けられている。この逃がし部(66a)は、対向側と反対側(前側)へ扇形状に凹んでおり、遊技メダルが取込孔(63a)から排出溝(64a)に移動するとき、遊技メダルの移動方向の後端側が隠蔽部材(66)と干渉しないようにして、遊技メダルを排出溝(64a)へ円滑に送出させるようにするものである。   The left half of the rear surface of the concealing member (66), that is, the portion facing the intake hole (63a) in the intake position (C) (the portion facing the delivery port (62b) of the base member (62)) A game medal escape portion (66a) is provided. This relief portion (66a) is recessed in a fan shape on the opposite side (front side) and when the game medal moves from the intake hole (63a) to the discharge groove (64a), The rear end side does not interfere with the concealing member (66), and the game medal is smoothly sent out to the discharge groove (64a).

次に、コイン取込及び送出装置(6)における遊技メダルの取込及び送出動作、並びにそのときの各部の作用効果について説明する。
コイン一括トレイ(61)に多数の遊技メダルを投入した状態で、ゲーム投入スイッチ(20)等のスイッチが操作されると、モータ(65)が駆動制御され、回転盤(63)は、図4において反時計方向へ回転する。
Next, the game medal take-in and send-out operations in the coin take-in and send-out device (6) and the effects of the respective parts at that time will be described.
When a switch such as a game insertion switch (20) is operated in a state where a large number of game medals are inserted into the coin collective tray (61), the motor (65) is driven and controlled, and the turntable (63) is shown in FIG. Rotates counterclockwise.

回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、落し込み部(61b)に貯留されている遊技メダルは、厚み方向を前後方向に向けた状態で、取込位置(B)にある取込孔(63a)により取り込まれる。   Along with the rotation of the turntable (63), the game medals stored in the drop-in part (61b) are taken in the take-in holes (63a) at the take-in position (B) with the thickness direction facing the front-rear direction. ).

遊技メダルの落し込み部(61b)への落し込みに際しては、前述のように、落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)と回転盤(63)との前後方向の隙間(A)を、遊技メダルの直径より小さくしているので、落し込み部(61b)に遊技メダルが挟み込まれて、落し込み部(61b)が詰まってしまうような事態を未然に防止することができ、遊技メダルをその厚み方向を前後方向に向けた状態で、確実に落し込み部(61b)に落し込ませることが可能となっている。   When dropping the game medals into the drop portion (61b), as described above, the gap (A) in the front-rear direction between the facing surface (61c) of the drop portion (61b) and the turntable (63), Since it is smaller than the diameter of the game medal, it is possible to prevent a situation where the game medal is caught in the drop part (61b) and the drop part (61b) is clogged. In the state where the thickness direction is directed in the front-rear direction, it can be surely dropped into the drop-in part (61b).

このことを詳細に説明すると、図8に示すように、コイン一括トレイ(61)に投入された遊技メダル(100)が、その径方向を上下方向に向けた姿勢で落し込み部(61b)に落ち込もうとすると、仮に、隙間(A)が遊技メダル(100)の直径より大きい場合には、遊技メダル(100)が落し込み部(61b)の途中まで落ち込むものの、途中で落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)と回転盤(63)との間に挟み込まれて、それ以上の落ち込みができなくなる事態が発生する。このような事態が発生すると、落し込み部(61b)が詰まってしまい、その後に続く他の遊技メダルも落し込み部(61b)に落ち込むことができなくなり、遊技メダルの取り込みが不能になる。   Explaining this in detail, as shown in FIG. 8, the game medal (100) inserted into the coin collective tray (61) is dropped into the drop-in part (61b) with its radial direction directed vertically. If the gap (A) is larger than the diameter of the game medal (100), the game medal (100) falls to the middle of the drop part (61b), but the drop part ( There is a situation in which no further depression can be caused by being sandwiched between the facing surface (61c) of 61b) and the rotating disk (63). When such a situation occurs, the dropped portion (61b) is clogged, and other game medals subsequent thereto cannot be dropped into the dropped portion (61b), and the game medals cannot be taken in.

しかし、本実施形態のように、隙間(A)を遊技メダル(100)の直径より小さくした場合には、遊技メダル(100)がその直径方向を上下方向に向けた姿勢で、コイン一括トレイ(61)における落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)と回転盤(63)との間に挟み込まれることがなくなり、コイン一括トレイ(61)の落し込み部(61b)の詰まりを防止することができ、遊技メダルをコイン一括トレイ(61)の落し込み部(61b)に確実に落し込ませて、回転盤(63)の取込孔(63a)により遊技メダルを確実に取り込めることができる。   However, when the gap (A) is made smaller than the diameter of the game medal (100) as in the present embodiment, the coin medal tray ( 61) to prevent clogging of the drop portion (61b) of the coin batch tray (61) without being caught between the opposing surface (61c) of the drop portion (61b) and the rotating disk (63). The game medal can be surely dropped into the drop portion (61b) of the coin batch tray (61), and the game medal can be surely taken in by the take-in hole (63a) of the turntable (63).

また、落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)と回転盤(63)とが、前述のように鋭角の関係にあるので、多数の遊技メダルが落し込み部(61b)に一度に落ち込むことが抑制され、遊技メダルを1枚ずつ取込孔(63a)により取り込ませることが可能となる。   Also, since the opposing surface (61c) of the drop-in part (61b) and the turntable (63) are in an acute angle relationship as described above, a large number of game medals fall into the drop-in part (61b) at once. The game medal can be taken in one by one through the take-in hole (63a).

さらには、落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)が後方へ傾いていることにより、落し込み部(61b)に落ち込んだ遊技メダルは、回転盤(63)側に向けて倒れ込み、回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、取込位置(B)にある取込孔(63a)により確実に取り込まれる。   Furthermore, since the opposing surface (61c) of the drop part (61b) is inclined rearward, the game medal dropped into the drop part (61b) falls toward the turntable (63), With the rotation of (63), it is reliably taken in by the take-in hole (63a) in the take-in position (B).

取込孔(63a)により取り込まれた遊技メダルは、ベース部材(62)の閉塞部(62c)により取込孔(63a)の後方が閉塞されているため、回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、取込孔(63a)に取り込まれた状態で回転盤(63)の回転方向に沿って搬送されて送出位置(C)に移動する。   The game medals taken in by the take-in hole (63a) is closed with the rotation of the turntable (63) because the back of the take-in hole (63a) is closed by the closing part (62c) of the base member (62). Then, in the state of being taken into the take-in hole (63a), it is conveyed along the rotation direction of the turntable (63) and moved to the delivery position (C).

なお、遊技メダルの取り込みに際し、2枚の遊技メダルが重なった状態で取込孔(63a)に取り込まれた場合には、図10に示すように、後に取り込まれた方の遊技メダル(100)が取付孔(63a)から前方へ突出しているため、遊技メダル(100)が送出位置(C)に搬送される前に、後から取り込まれた遊技メダル(100)が、コイン通過制御手段(67)に当接して取込孔(63a)から退けられることにより、コイン一括トレイ(61)に一括投入された多数の遊技メダルを1枚ずつ順次取り込んで、1枚ずつ順次送出することができる。   In addition, when the game medals are taken in, if two game medals are taken into the take-in hole (63a) in a state of being overlapped, as shown in FIG. Protrudes forward from the mounting hole (63a), so that the game medal (100) taken after the game medal (100) is transferred to the delivery position (C) is transferred to the coin passage control means (67 ) And withdrawing from the take-in hole (63a), a large number of game medals placed in the coin batch tray (61) can be taken in one by one and sent out one by one.

図5に示すように、回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、取込孔(63a)が、送出位置(C)に達してベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)と重合すると、回転盤(63)が後傾しているため、遊技メダル(100)は、自重をもって、取込孔(63a)から後方へ抜け出す。   As shown in FIG. 5, as the turntable (63) rotates, the intake hole (63a) reaches the delivery position (C) and overlaps with the delivery port (62b) of the base member (62). Since the board (63) is tilted backward, the game medal (100) is pulled out from the take-in hole (63a) with its own weight.

送出位置(B)にある取込孔(63a)から抜け出た遊技メダルは、ベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)を通過して、ガイド部材(64)の排出溝(64a)に送り込まれ、この排出溝(64a)により、遊技メダルセレクターに向けて確実に送出される。   The game medal that has escaped from the take-in hole (63a) at the delivery position (B) passes through the delivery port (62b) of the base member (62) and is fed into the discharge groove (64a) of the guide member (64). The discharge groove (64a) ensures the delivery to the game medal selector.

また、回転盤(63)の回転中においては、隠蔽部材(66)により送出位置(C)またはその近傍にある取込孔(63a)の前方が隠蔽されているので、取込孔(63a)に異物が入り込んで、回転盤(63)が作動不能になったりするような作動不良を防止して、回転盤(63)の確実な回転を得ることができる。   During rotation of the turntable (63), the concealing member (66) conceals the front of the take-in hole (63a) at or near the delivery position (C), so that the take-in hole (63a) Thus, it is possible to prevent malfunctions such as foreign matter getting into the disk and making the rotating disk (63) inoperable, and a reliable rotation of the rotating disk (63) can be obtained.

上述のように、コイン取込及び送出装置(6)は、コイン一括トレイ(61)、隠蔽部材(66)、回転盤(63)、ベース部材(62)、ガイド部材(64)、及びモータ(65)を、順次後方へ積層するように組み付け可能であるので、極めて組付性が良い。   As described above, the coin take-in and delivery device (6) includes the coin batch tray (61), the concealing member (66), the rotating disk (63), the base member (62), the guide member (64), and the motor ( 65) can be assembled so as to be laminated sequentially rearward, so that the assemblability is extremely good.

また、回転盤(63)を、コイン一括トレイ(61)に固定されたベース部材(62)に支持したので、より具体的には、回転盤(63)を、水平方向に対して傾斜した回転軸(65a)によりベース部材(62)に枢支するとともに、コイン一括トレイ(61)を、回転盤(63)の前面(一側面)に対向するようにベース部材(62)に設けたことにより、コイン一括トレイ(61)とベース部材(62)と回転盤(63)とのユニット化が可能となり、遊技機本体(被取付体)に対して簡単かつ確実な取り付けが可能となる。   Further, since the turntable (63) is supported by the base member (62) fixed to the coin collective tray (61), more specifically, the turntable (63) is rotated at an angle with respect to the horizontal direction. By pivotally supporting the base member (62) by the shaft (65a) and providing the coin collective tray (61) on the base member (62) so as to face the front surface (one side surface) of the rotating disk (63). The coin collective tray (61), the base member (62), and the turntable (63) can be unitized, and can be easily and reliably attached to the gaming machine body (attached body).

さらには、遊技メダルをその厚み方向を前後方向に向けた状態で、前方から取り込んで、後方へ送出可能としているため、従来のような遊技メダルを回転盤の遠心方向へ送出させるものとは異なり、狭いスペースで遊技メダルを取込及び送出することができ、装置全体の小型化及び薄型化を容易に図ることができ、遊技機本体(1)の狭いスペースに取り付け可能となる。   Furthermore, since the game medal is taken from the front with its thickness direction facing in the front-rear direction and can be sent out backward, it is different from the conventional game medal that is sent out in the centrifugal direction of the turntable. The game medals can be taken in and sent out in a narrow space, and the entire apparatus can be easily reduced in size and thickness, and can be mounted in the narrow space of the gaming machine main body (1).
