Description
- The present invention relates to a coin conveyor such as a coin escalator or the like for successively transporting coins dispensed or delivered from a coin payout hopper in an automatic bending machine, automatic payout machine, coin exchanger, game machine or the like.
- Hitherto, there is a coin payout hopper as described in US Patent No. 4,437,478 on US-A-4,943,258 and as shown in Fig. 1 comprising a hopper 1 for storing coins A in bulk, and a coin feeding
rotary disc 2 rotatably mounted within the hopper at an angle to the horizontal. Therotary disc 2 has acentral shelf 3 and a plurality ofdelivery pins 4 spaced in the peripheral direction of the rotary disc and extended from the surface of the rotary disc to define a plurality of coin pockets for picking up a coin from the hopper lower portion and feeding the coin to an upper delivery portion by the respective coin pocket upon rotation of the rotary disc. The coin payout hopper further comprises anoutlet chute 5 for receiving coins discharged from the upper delivery portion and for dispensing coins one at a time by a pushing force of the delivery pin or a coin counting switch actuating roller B. - Some coin payout hoppers of the type mentioned above are provided with an outlet device as shown in Fig. 1 comprising an
escalator 6 connected to the upper end of theoutlet chute 5 at the lower end thereof and upwardly extended from theoutlet chute 5 for transporting coins to a coin tray (not shown) which is elevated from the hopper mounted on a bottom plate in for example a coin changer, game machine or the like. - The
coin escalator 6 is an example of a coin conveyor in the form of an elongated trough composed of front andback side plates edge plates 9 interposed between the side edges of the side plates, respectively, for spacing the side plate by a distance corresponding to a thickness of the coin to be transferred to define acoin passage 10. - As mentioned above, the
coin escalator 6 is connected to the upper end of theoutlet chute 5 which receives coins delivered from the upper delivery portion of the rotary disc which is inclined at an angle to the horizontal in the coin payout hopper. Thus, thecoin escalator 6 may be upwardly extended at an angle from the upper end of the outlet chute 5 up to a height of more than two meters in case of a game machine. In such a case, the coin escalator may be bent from the inclinedlower end portion 6a to the vertically extendingportion 6b through acurved portion 6c in order to decrease a space depth required for the coin escalator. - When the
escalator 6 is provided with acurved portion 6c to change the direction of transferring coin, if thecurved portion 6c has a large radius of curvature as shown in Fig. 2, the distance between the front andback side plates curved portion 6c can be 0.2 to 0.5 mm more than a thickness of the coin to be transferred similar to that in thestraight portions curved portion 6c without dragging of coins and/or jamming, but a large space as shown by a dimension D-1 is required for changing of direction, in particular when the transferring direction of the coin transporting duct or the like is changed by a right angle. - On the other hand, if the
curved portion 6c is bent with a small radius of curvature as shown in Fig. 3 because of a limited space, the distance between the front andback side plates curved portion 6c must be incleased as shown by "d" so as to easily pass coins through the curved portion. As a result, one of the successive coins A and B can overlap on the other to be dragged and/or jammed in thecurved portion 6c. - Hitherto, a leaf spring 11 has been used to urge a coin against the
side plate 7 in thecurved portion 6c as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. Such a leaf spring however could not completely prevent coins from overlapping in thecoin passage 10. - An object of the invention is to provide a coin conveyor adapted for smoothly guiding and retaining coins in curved portions as well as straight portions so as to be transported without coin dragging or jamming regardless of dimensions of radius of curvature of the curved portion.
- According to the present invention, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a coin conveyor comprises an
elongated back plate 8 and a plurality oftapered guide rollers 12 arranged at respective oppositeside edge portions back plate 8 so as to guide and retain coins transported on theback plate 8. - The back plate may be a curved elongated plate or a straight elongated plate.

tension spring 22 is interposed between the extended ends ofroller shafts tapered guide rollers respective slots base plate 8, so that thetapered guide rollers - The tapered surface of the guide roller may be semipherical surface.
- According to the aforementioned embodiment of the present invention, when coins are successively transported on the back plate by pushing force of the coin feeding pins on the rotary disc rotating in the payout hopper, each coin passes between a pair of left and right opposed tapered guide rollers against spring force of
springs - Moreover, when the payout hopper is stopped and the coins in the coin escalator are not subjected to any push up force applied by following coins, the coins in the coin escalator are retained on the back plate by the spring force acting on the tapered guide rollers.
- Furthermore, when the coin passage is jammed by a deformed coin or deposited dust, such a deformed coin or deposited dust can be easily removed by simply detaching one or two tapered guide rollers from the back plate. On the other hand, the conventional coin conveyor composed of a back plate, side edge plates and front plates is required to disassemble at least one of the long front plates and remove some of coins from the coin passage in order to remove the deformed coin or deposited dust.
