The second iron core 288 utilizes the second spring 292 to be pressed to stretching out direction (being the left side in Fig. 9).

Second connecting rod mechanism 284 comprises: the 3rd control lever 296 swings and to be supported in freely on the fulcrum 294 that stretches out to the rear side of auxiliary backplane 128; The 4th control lever 304 swings and to be supported in freely on the fulcrum 298 that stretches out to the rear side of auxiliary backplane 128; Third connecting rod 306 connects the 3rd control lever 296 and the 4th control lever 304; And the 4th connecting rod 308, connect the second iron core 288 and the 4th control lever 304.

The 3rd control lever 296 is horizontal crank shape, and rotation is supported into freely by fulcrum 294 in about 1 to 3 position on control lever, and a front end is fixed with the second supporter 132, and an other end is fixed with the second counterbalance weight 313.

The fulcrum 294 that the second supporter 132 connects to be formed on auxiliary backplane 128 is formed the second arcuation slotted hole 315 in the center of circle, extends with specified length towards the 3rd guiding wall 184.

The second supporter 132 meets at right angles with face keeper 226, and overhang is set for to load part 130 identical.

In other words, mounting part 130, the first supporter 134 and the second supporter 132 meet at right angles and stretch out with equal length with respect to face keeper 226.

The first supporter 134 and the second supporter 132 are when being positioned at the state of holding position SP2 and SP1, and its interval is set for larger a little than the diameter of the maximum gauge coin that uses.

In addition, under the state that is positioned at holding position SP2 and SP1, set the first supporter 134 and the second supporter 132 for and be positioned at right and left by the diameter portion of the genuine note TC of mounting part 130 mounting of lower end periphery.

Specifically, preferably: the first supporter 134 and the second supporter 132 be in the situation that be positioned at holding position SP2 and SP1, sets center right and left of the centre of the maximum gauge that the first supporter 134 and the second supporter 132 is positioned at keep genuine note TC and minimum diameter for.

In addition, by adopting the second counterbalance weight 313, have advantages of the 3rd electromagnetic actuators 282 that can use little output, can reducing costs and low power consumption.

The 4th control lever 304 is linearity control levers, is substantially upright state being under the holding state that is rotated support freely near the centre of its bottom by fulcrum 298.Rotate in being formed on the axis hole of upper end and be inserted with freely the pin 312 that stretches out from the bottom of third connecting rod 306.

The upper end of third connecting rod 306 utilizes pin 314 to rotate on the 3rd control lever 296 that is arranged on freely between fulcrum 294 and the second supporter 132.

By an end of the 4th connecting rod 308 is fixed on the second iron core 288, and connect the screw 318 be screwed into auxiliary backplane 128 in the slotted hole 316 of the 4th other end of connecting rod 308, consisted of for straight-line the second guiding mechanism 322, inserted freely axis hole 324 to pin 326 swings that cross out from the bottom of the 4th control lever 304.

According to this structure, in the situation that the 3rd electromagnetic actuators 283 demagnetizations, the second iron core 288 utilizes the second spring 292 to stretch out, and as shown in Figure 8, the 4th connecting rod 308 is still in the position of the leftmost side that moves to.

Its result, make the 4th control lever 304 swing to substantially upright position by pin 326, the 4th control lever 304 and third connecting rod 306 are in the state of arranging point-blank, third connecting rod 306 and the 3rd control lever 296 are set for and are roughly the right angle, as shown in Figure 8, the 3rd control lever 296 remains on take the extreme position of fulcrum 294 as axially counterclockwise swinging.

Like this, the second supporter 132 of the 3rd control lever 296 front ends remains on holding position SP1.

Substantially in alignment by setting the 4th control lever 304 and third connecting rod 306 for, and make 296 one-tenth of third connecting rod 306 and the 3rd control levers right angle substantially, even can make on the second supporter 132 the effect caused external force of genuine note TC of withing a hook at the end, can not act on the 3rd control lever 296 yet larger moment of torsion is arranged.

In the situation that the 3rd electromagnetic actuators 283 excitations, because the 4th connecting rod 308 moves to the right side in Fig. 9, make the 4th control lever 304 to counterclockwise swing by pin 326, and make the 3rd control lever 296 swing (Figure 10) to clockwise direction by pin 312, third connecting rod 306, pin 314.

Ten yen of genuine note TC of back arrange on thickness direction, keep in chamber 126 thereby be retained in.

Drop in the situation of five piece of ten Japanese yen coin, owing to adding up to 150 yen, so identical with the above, discriminating gear 150 is exported the signal that can play games.

In the situation that then drop into ten Japanese yen coins after an one hundred days units coin, when dropping into thereafter 50 yen or one hundred days units coin, is differentiated and returned from returning mouth 108 for counterfeit money FC.This is to exceed the quata to collect the charges in order to prevent.

When the player sends sign on to game machine, the second electromagnetic actuators 236 with the stipulated time by excitation.

Due to the excitation of the second electromagnetic actuators 236, in Fig. 8, because the first iron core 244 moves to the left, second connecting rod 256 also moves to equidirectional, and the second control lever 252 swings to clockwise direction.

Utilize the swing of the second control lever 252, take fulcrum 246 as axially counterclockwise swinging, the first supporter 134 moves to deposit position RP3 by first connecting rod 254, the first control levers 248.

Move in the way at this, the first supporter 134 is pressed operand 282, and face keeper 226 is swung to equidirectional take axis of swing 232 as fulcrum.

Like this, mounting part 130 moves to equidirectional.

The amount of movement of the mounting part 130 of this moment, compare owing to setting for the center of gravity G of the genuine note TC of the minimum diameter that utilizes the second supporter 132 moving-limitings, the support sector of mounting part 130 is positioned at the second supporter 132 1 sides, therefore, even as 50 yen of the minimum diameter coin, the utilization deadweight also can be to rolling with the second supporter 132 opposition sides, fall to and deposit on guide rail 352, and roll to fall to and deposit mouthful 106 (Figure 15).

After the enough time that falls for the reservation genuine note TC that keeps chamber 126, the second electromagnetic actuators 236 is by demagnetization, and the first supporter 134 is back to holding position SP2 again.

When the player does not play games, can return operation.

According to returning operation, the 3rd electromagnetic actuators 283 with the stipulated time by excitation.

Utilize the excitation of the 3rd electromagnetic actuators 283, in Fig. 8, because the second iron core 288 moves to the right, the 4th connecting rod 308 is also moved to equidirectional.

Like this, in Fig. 8,, swing to clockwise direction by third connecting rod 306, the three control levers 296 to counterclockwise swinging due to the 4th control lever 304, the second supporter 132 moves to returning position RP1 from holding position SP1.

In the moving process of the second supporter 132, the operand 282 of face keeper 226 is pressed by the second supporter 132, swings to equidirectional.

Like this, mounting part 130 is owing to comparing with the center of gravity G of the genuine note TC of the minimum diameter that utilizes the first supporter 134 moving-limitings, the support sector of mounting part 130 is positioned at the first supporter 134 sides, therefore, even as 50 yen of minimum diameter coin, utilize deadweight, also can return (Figure 16) on guide rail 350 to rolling with the first supporter 134 opposition sides, falling to.

The coin that falls returning rolling on guide rail 350, falls to and returns chamber 142 subsequently, can be from returning mouthful 108 taking-ups.

In other words, can return the genuine note TC of reservation.
