  The coin insertion device of the present invention is configured as described above. Next, an example of its use will be described. First, when a predetermined small-diameter coin is inserted from one coin insertion slot 20, the small-diameter coin is placed on the rear surface of the rear case 2. And is accommodated in the first accommodating portion 35 of the coin accommodating turntable 9. At this time, the small-diameter coin is surely stored in the first accommodating portion 35 by being elastically pressed forward by the coin pressing protrusion 51 and the elastic spring 52 of the first coin pressing means. Note that even if the small-diameter coin falls to the side of the second storage portion 36, a part of the lower edge portion of the second storage portion 36 and the first storage portion 35 is matched, and the coin pressing projection 51 and the bullet By being pushed forward by the spring 52, the small-diameter coin is surely and smoothly stored in the first accommodating portion 35.

  Next, when the rotary knob 5 is rotated to the right as seen from the front of the vending machine for capsule-containing toys, the coin storage turntable 9 is rotated together with the rotary shaft 6, and the outer peripheral edge of the small-diameter coin is the swing member 10. The tip of the first step portion 40 abuts against the wing, and the swing member 10 is slightly swung upward against the spring force of the spring 42, and the outer peripheral edge of the small-diameter coin in this swing state However, the subsequent locking claw 39 passes through the first step portion 40 without coming into contact with the tip portion of the swinging member 10 while being in sliding contact with the first step portion 40.

  Note that the small-diameter coin is released from the coin presser 14 of the second coin pressing means and the bullet after the pressing force of the first coin pressing means (coin pressing protrusion 51 and the spring spring 52) is released by the rotation of the coin receiving turntable 9. The front spring is elastically pressed by the spring 56, and at least as long as the outer peripheral edge of the small-diameter coin is in sliding contact with the first step portion 40, the first receiving portion 35 is surely and stable. Will fit in.

  After that, when the rotation of the coin receiving turntable 9 advances and the sliding contact state of the first step portion 40 on the outer peripheral edge of the small-diameter coin is released, the elastic force of the elastic spring 32 is released and the pressing piece 31 is released. The rear surface of the rear case 2 protrudes through the pressing piece intrusion hole 33. Then, the small-diameter coin stored in the first storage unit 35 is protruded from the front, and is dropped and stored at a predetermined position in the vending machine.

  Further, when a predetermined large-diameter coin is inserted from one coin insertion slot 20, the large-diameter coin passes through the coin guide path on the rear surface of the rear case 2 and is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 36 of the coin accommodating turntable 9. . At this time, the large-diameter coin is surely stored in the second storage portion 36 by being elastically pressed forward by the coin pressing protrusion 51 and the resilient spring 52 of the first coin pressing means. . The large-diameter coin is not accommodated in the first accommodating portion 35 because it is larger than the first accommodating portion 35.

  Next, when the rotary knob 5 is rotated to the right as seen from the front of the vending machine for toys with capsules, the coin storage turntable 9 rotates together with the rotary shaft 6, and the outer peripheral edge of the large-diameter coin becomes the swing member 10. The tip of the second step portion 41 abuts against the hook, and the swinging member 10 is slightly swung upward against the spring force of the spring 42, so While the outer peripheral edge is in sliding contact with the second step portion 41, the subsequent locking claw 39 passes without contacting the tip portion of the swing member 10.

  The large-diameter coin is moved to the coin presser 14 of the second coin pressing means after the pressing force of the first coin pressing means (the coin pressing protrusion 51 and the spring spring 52) is released by the rotation of the coin receiving turntable 9. The front spring is elastically pressed by the elastic spring 56, and at least as long as the outer periphery of the large-diameter coin is in sliding contact with the second step portion 41, the second receiving portion 36 is securely and It will fit stably.

  Thereafter, when the rotation of the coin receiving turntable 9 advances and the sliding contact state of the second step portion 41 on the outer periphery of the large-diameter coin is released, the elastic force of the elastic spring 32 is released and the pressing piece 31 is released. However, the rear surface of the rear case 2 protrudes through the pressing piece protrusion / retraction hole 33. Then, the large-diameter coin stored in the second storage portion 36 is protruded from the front and falls and stored in a predetermined position in the vending machine.

  Further, when coins or the like other than a predetermined size (incorrect coins or illegal coins) are inserted from the coin insertion slot 20, the coins pass through the coin guide path on the rear surface of the rear case 2 and the coin receiving turntable 9. Is accommodated in the first accommodating portion 35 or the second accommodating portion 36. At this time, the coin is accommodated in the first accommodating portion 35 or the second accommodating portion 36 by being elastically pressed to the front by the coin pressing protrusion 51 of the first coin pressing means and the elastic spring 52. It becomes like this.

  Next, when the rotary knob 5 is rotated to the right when seen from the front of the vending machine for capsule toys, the coin storage turntable 9 is rotated together with the rotary shaft 6, and the outer peripheral edge of the coin is the first of the swing member 10. The tip of the two-step portion 41 abuts against the wing, and the swing member 10 is slightly swung upward against the spring force of the spring 42, and the outer peripheral edge of the large-diameter coin in this swing state Slidably contacts the first step portion 40 or the second step portion 41, but the swinging amount of the swinging member 10 is insufficient, and the subsequent locking claw 39 comes into contact with the tip end portion of the swinging member 10 to rotate the coin. The rotation of the board 9 is reliably prevented.

  Therefore, in order to return the coin to the return slot 21, the return means is operated after the coin containing rotating disk 9 is returned to the initial position (or may not be returned). That is, the push button 29 of the return actuating body 7 is pressed backward against the elastic force of the elastic spring 28. Then, the rear coin control plate 13 moves rearward, and the front coin control plate 12 moves slightly rearward due to the resilient force of the resilient spring 47, so that the first accommodating portion 35 and the second accommodating portion are accommodated. The front side coin control plate 12 is separated from the rear open portion of the portion 36, and a coin passage space is formed in that portion. At the same time, the protruding hook 27 protrudes and the rear surface of the rear case 2 protrudes from the hook through the hole 34 to protrude the coin in the first receiving portion 35 or the second receiving portion 36, and the coin is inserted through the coin passage space. The coin is returned to the return port 21 by dropping downward.

  When a magnetically-attached coin (iron coin) or the like is inserted from the coin insertion slot 20, the coin passes through the coin guide path on the rear surface of the rear case 2, so that The front surface of the front coin control plate 12 is attracted to the trap by the magnetic force of the magnet 50.

  And in order to return this coin to the return slot 21, a return means is operated like the above. That is, the push button 29 of the return actuating body 7 is pressed backward against the elastic force of the elastic spring 28. Then, the back coin control plate 13 moves backward, the front coin control plate 12 slightly moves backward by the resilient force of the spring 47, and the front coin control plate 12 and the back coin control plate 12 move backward. As the distance from the coin control plate 13 increases, the magnetic force of the magnet 50 against the coin on the front side of the front coin control plate 12 decreases, the coin is dropped, and the coin returns to the return slot 21. Become. At this time, since the protrusions 27 protrude from the first storage unit 35 and the second storage unit 36, the dropped coins do not fit in the first storage unit 35 or the second storage unit 36.
