Description of the Related Art In a coin arranging apparatus of this kind, when a large number of supplied coins are jammed in a coin passage, the coin passage is opened to release the jam. All coins inside are guided to the coin return slot. At this time, coins passing through the coin passage hole of the coin sensor provided below the coin passage may be jammed. Therefore, a coin removal lever is provided for removing the jammed coin by entering the coin passage hole in conjunction with the opening operation of the coin passage. That is, the coin elimination lever is swingably supported, and swings in conjunction with opening the coin passage so as to enter the coin passage hole of the coin sensor.

た。However, in the conventional coin aligner described above, when the coin passage is opened, the coin sensor remains fixed and only the coin removing lever swings. It has become. For this reason, if the thickness of the coin sensor is increased in order to improve the performance of the coin sensor, there is a problem that the coin removal lever cannot smoothly enter the coin passage hole. In order to smoothly move the coin elimination lever into the coin passage hole of the coin sensor to solve this problem, it is necessary to increase the swing radius of the coin elimination lever. This not only increases the external dimensions of the coin removal lever, but also
Since the space for swinging the coin removing lever must be ensured, there is a problem that the apparatus becomes large.

ンサの硬貨通過孔が傾く。In order to achieve this object, an invention according to claim 1 comprises an openable and closable coin passage for aligning a plurality of coins supplied simultaneously and discharging the coins one by one;
A coin aligner including a coin sensor for discriminating a denomination of a coin by introducing coins discharged from the coin passage into a coin passage hole, and a coin elimination lever that can move forward and backward in the coin passage hole of the coin sensor. , The coin sensor and the coin elimination lever are swingably supported so that the coin sensor and the coin elimination lever are close to each other by opening the coin passage. Therefore, the coin passage hole of the coin sensor is inclined in the swinging direction of the coin removing lever.

From this state, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the movable side plate 3B is moved in the direction of arrow B to open the coin passage 4, the coin sensor 11 is rotated about the pivot 17 by the drive transmission lever 20, as will be described later. The coin removing lever 25 rotates counterclockwise in the figure around the pivot 17 while rotating in the direction. That is, the coin sensor 11 and the coin elimination lever 25 swing so as to approach each other, and the coin elimination lever 25 is configured to enter the coin passage hole 11a of the coin sensor 11.

As shown in FIG. 1, when a plurality of coins 1 and a numbered ticket (not shown) are simultaneously inserted into the coin slot 2, the numbered ticket falls from the gap between the rollers 8A and 8B and is separated. Both rollers 8A, 8B
It rolls up and falls in the coin passage 4 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, among the plurality of coins, a coin 1A that comes into contact with the upper roller 13 on the left side is returned upward in the figure by the upper roller 13A. Similarly, the coin 1B abutting on the right upper roller 13B is returned upward in the drawing by the upper roller 13B. That is, the plurality of coins 1 that have fallen in the coin passage 4 are agitated by the left and right upper rollers 13A and 13B, and most of the coins are once returned to the upper side. Some coins fall in a line in order without falling down the passage 4.

Is returned upward, and the coins 1D abutting on the lower roller 15B on the right side are sent downward, so that the coins 1 are eventually sent to the coin sensor 11 one by one. Coin sensor 1
The coin 1 sent to the coin 1 falls in the coin passage hole 11a, and at this time, the denomination of the coin 1 is discriminated by a coin discriminating unit (not shown).

通路４の直下に位置付けられたままの状態を保持する。Here, if a coin jam or the like occurs in the coin passage 4, the movable side plate 3B is moved in the direction of arrow B by moving means (not shown) from a state in which the coin passage 4 is closed as shown in FIG. Then, the coin passage 4 is opened as shown in FIG. At the initial stage when the coin passage 4 starts to open, the pin 6 of the movable side plate 3B is
a, the drive transmission lever 20 keeps the state as it is, so that the coin sensor 11 also keeps the state of being positioned immediately below the coin passage 4.

できる。Further, when the movable side plate 3B moves in the direction of arrow B, as shown in FIG. 5, the pin 6 engages with the left end of the elongated hole 20a, so that the drive transmission lever is moved with the movement of the side plate 3B. 20 also moves in the direction of arrow B. Since the bracket 18 rotates clockwise about the pivot 17 in the figure, the coin sensor 11 also rotates clockwise, and the coin passage hole 11a is inclined. At this time, since the coin 1 in the coin passage 4 has not been left, the coin passing hole 1
By tilting 1a, it is possible to prevent so-called scale clogging of the coin, which is clogged in a wedge shape by the coin that has fallen into the coin passage hole 11a, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure.

が排除される。By the movement of the drive transmission lever 20, the projection 22 of the drive transmission lever 20 also presses the bracket 24 rightward in the figure, so that the bracket 24 rotates around the pivot 17 in the counterclockwise direction in the figure. , Coin removal lever 25
Also rotates counterclockwise. Therefore, coin sensor 1
1 and the coin elimination lever 25 swing so as to be close to each other, and the coin elimination lever 25 enters the coin passage hole 11a of the coin sensor 11, so that the coin in the coin passage hole 11a is eliminated.

5b, the coin passing hole 11a of the coin sensor 11 in the swing direction.
Leans. Therefore, although the thickness T of the coin sensor 11 is large, the coin removal lever 25
Swinging portion 25b smoothly enters coin passage hole 11a. Further, since the coin elimination lever 25 and the coin sensor 11 are swung so as to be close to each other, the swinging portion 25b of the coin elimination lever 25 can be moved without increasing the swing radius of the coin elimination lever 25. It is possible to smoothly enter the passage hole 11a. Therefore, since the dimension L from the lower end of the side plate 3B to the lower end of the coin removing lever 25 shown in FIG. 4 can be reduced, the size of the apparatus can be reduced.
