The upper inclined portion 69a and the lower inclined portion 69d constitute an inclined guide portion 70 that guides medals from the medal sorting means 45 to the rear side.

通路形成板69には図4、図7に示すように、その上端に前側に屈曲する屈曲部71が設けられ、その屈曲部71が縦壁部48と上傾斜部49aとの境界部分で前側に凹入して左右方向に形成された溝状又は長孔状の挿入部72内に挿入されている。衝突部69bは後壁部61の入口64と前後に対向しており、メダル払い出し手段17により払い出されてメダル排出通路47内に入ったメダルがこの衝突部69bに衝突して落下するようになっている。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the passage forming plate 69 is provided with a bent portion 71 bent at the upper end at the upper end thereof, and the bent portion 71 is located at the boundary between the vertical wall portion 48 and the upper inclined portion 49a. Is inserted into a groove-shaped or long-hole-shaped insertion portion 72 that is recessed in the left and right direction. The collision part 69b faces the entrance 64 of the rear wall part 61 in the front-rear direction so that the medal paid out by the medal payout means 17 and entered into the medal discharge passage 47 collides with the collision part 69b and falls. It has become.

衝突部69bの下端部はパネル体42の縦壁部50の下端まで達している。また通路形成板69は衝突部69bの上部側でネジ73によりパネル体42に固定されている。なお、通路形成板69はメダル排出通路47よりも左右両側に突出しているが、メダル排出通路47と略同一幅でもよい。   The lower end portion of the collision portion 69 b reaches the lower end of the vertical wall portion 50 of the panel body 42. The passage forming plate 69 is fixed to the panel body 42 with screws 73 on the upper side of the collision portion 69b. The passage forming plate 69 protrudes to the left and right sides of the medal discharge passage 47, but may be substantially the same width as the medal discharge passage 47.

上記構成において、メダル投入口27にメダルを投入すると、そのメダル選別手段45が真偽の選別を行い、偽メダルはメダル選別手段45で排除され、真正のメダルのみがメダル選別手段45を通過する。そして、メダル選別手段45で排除された偽メダルは、メダル排出通路47の上端開口側から傾斜通路部56内へと落下する。そして、傾斜通路部56でパネル体42の後側に装着された通路形成板69の傾斜案内部70上に落下し衝突して、この傾斜案内部70の傾斜に沿って通路形成体55の傾斜壁56a上へと案内され、その傾斜底壁56aから縦通路部57、排出口34を経てメダル受け皿35へと排出されて行く。   In the above configuration, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 27, the medal sorting means 45 performs authenticity selection, the false medal is excluded by the medal selection means 45, and only the genuine medal passes through the medal selection means 45. . Then, the false medals eliminated by the medal sorting means 45 fall from the upper end opening side of the medal discharge passage 47 into the inclined passage portion 56. The inclined passage portion 56 falls on and collides with the inclined guide portion 70 of the passage forming plate 69 mounted on the rear side of the panel body 42, and the passage forming body 55 is inclined along the inclination of the inclined guide portion 70. It is guided onto the wall 56a, and is discharged from the inclined bottom wall 56a to the medal tray 35 through the vertical passage portion 57 and the discharge port 34.

メダル排出通路47の傾斜通路部56は、パネル体42の屈曲壁部49の上下で前後に屈曲しているが、その屈曲壁部49に対応して通路形成板69の傾斜案内部70を設けているので、この傾斜案内部70で屈曲壁部49を保護でき、屈曲壁部49、特にその上傾斜部49aに対するメダルの衝突等による損傷を防止できる。   The inclined passage portion 56 of the medal discharge passage 47 is bent back and forth above and below the bent wall portion 49 of the panel body 42, and an inclined guide portion 70 of the passage forming plate 69 is provided corresponding to the bent wall portion 49. Therefore, the bent wall portion 49 can be protected by the inclined guide portion 70, and damage due to a collision of medals with the bent wall portion 49, particularly the upper inclined portion 49a can be prevented.

また屈曲壁部49は上傾斜部49a、中傾斜部49b、下傾斜部49cを有するジグザグ状に構成しているため、パネル体42の肉厚を略一定にしながらも容易に強度を確保できる。しかもメダル排出通路47の途中にある屈曲壁部49には、後上側に開口する凹入部49eがあるが、その凹入部49eを通路形成板69の傾斜案内部70で覆っているため、メダル排出通路47を簡単な構造で容易に形成できる。   Further, since the bent wall portion 49 is formed in a zigzag shape having the upper inclined portion 49a, the middle inclined portion 49b, and the lower inclined portion 49c, the strength can be easily secured while making the thickness of the panel body 42 substantially constant. Moreover, the bent wall portion 49 in the middle of the medal discharge passage 47 has a recessed portion 49e that opens to the rear upper side. The recessed portion 49e is covered with the inclined guide portion 70 of the passage forming plate 69, so that the medal discharge The passage 47 can be easily formed with a simple structure.

通路形成板69の上端側は、その屈曲部71をパネル体42の挿入部72に挿入しているため、傾斜案内部70上に落下するメダルが、通路形成板69の上端縁に引っ掛かって詰まる等の問題もなく、傾斜案内部70によりメダルを円滑に案内できる。   Since the bent portion 71 is inserted into the insertion portion 72 of the panel body 42 at the upper end side of the passage forming plate 69, medals falling on the inclined guide portion 70 are caught by the upper end edge of the passage forming plate 69 and clogged. The medal can be smoothly guided by the inclined guide portion 70 without any problem.

メダル払い出し手段17により払い出されたメダルは、その出口40から入口64を経てメダル排出通路47へと入り、通路形成板69の衝突部69bに衝突してメダル受け皿35へと案内されて行く。この場合にも、パネル体42の縦壁部50の後側に衝突部69bを有する通路形成板69があるため、その衝突部69bでパネル体42側を保護できる。また通路形成板69は上側の傾斜案内部70と衝突部69bをくの字状に備え、その傾斜案内部70は段差69cを介して上傾斜部69aと下傾斜部69dとを備えているため、単体での剛性も大であり、その取り扱いを容易にできる。   The medals paid out by the medal paying means 17 enter the medal discharge passage 47 from the outlet 40 through the inlet 64, collide with the collision portion 69b of the passage forming plate 69, and are guided to the medal tray 35. Also in this case, since there is the passage forming plate 69 having the collision portion 69b on the rear side of the vertical wall portion 50 of the panel body 42, the panel body 42 side can be protected by the collision portion 69b. Further, the passage forming plate 69 is provided with an upper inclined guide portion 70 and a collision portion 69b in a U-shape, and the inclined guide portion 70 includes an upper inclined portion 69a and a lower inclined portion 69d through a step 69c. The rigidity of a single unit is also large, and the handling can be facilitated.

メダル排出通路47の後壁部61には、その入口64の下側に不正行為防止部65を構成する挿入阻止壁66,66aがあるため、排出口34からメダル排出通路47を経て針金等の不正工作部材を挿入しても、その挿入阻止壁66,66aによって入口64からメダル払い出し手段17の出口40側への挿入を阻止できる。特に挿入阻止壁66,66aの下側に傾斜案内部67,67aがあり、その傾斜案内部67,67aによって不正工作部材を入口64以外の方向に案内するため、不正工作部材の入口64への挿入を困難にできる。   Since the rear wall portion 61 of the medal discharge passage 47 has insertion preventing walls 66 and 66a constituting the fraud prevention portion 65 below the inlet 64, the wire or the like passes through the medal discharge passage 47 from the discharge port 34. Even if an unauthorized work member is inserted, insertion from the inlet 64 to the outlet 40 side of the medal payout means 17 can be blocked by the insertion blocking walls 66 and 66a. In particular, there are inclined guide portions 67, 67a below the insertion prevention walls 66, 66a, and the inclined guide portions 67, 67a guide the unauthorized working member in a direction other than the inlet 64. Insertion can be difficult.

以上、本発明の実施例について詳述したが、本発明はこの実施例に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。例えば、前面パネル3の骨格体を構成するパネル体42は、上下方向に複数個に分割したものでもよい。また通路形成板69の傾斜案内部70は、段差69cを介して上傾斜部69aと下傾斜部69dとを備えているが、段差69cのないものでもよい。その場合、凹入部49e内に補強リブ等を設けて、その補強リブを傾斜案内部70の下側に当接させてもよい。   As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to this Example, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, the panel body 42 constituting the skeleton of the front panel 3 may be divided into a plurality of parts in the vertical direction. Moreover, although the inclination guide part 70 of the channel | path formation board 69 is provided with the upper inclination part 69a and the lower inclination part 69d via the level | step difference 69c, the thing without the level | step difference 69c may be sufficient. In that case, a reinforcing rib or the like may be provided in the recessed portion 49 e and the reinforcing rib may be brought into contact with the lower side of the inclined guide portion 70.

パネル体42の屈曲壁部49は、後下がりに傾斜する傾斜部を有する構造であればよく、必ずしもジグザグ状に構成する必要はない。メダル排出通路47は、その前側をパネル体42の一部で構成すればよい。   The bent wall portion 49 of the panel body 42 may be a structure having an inclined portion that inclines rearwardly and does not necessarily have to be configured in a zigzag shape. The medal discharge passage 47 may be configured with a part of the panel body 42 on the front side thereof.

不正行為防止部65は、メダル払い出し手段17のスイッチ41が近接型の場合には、それを電磁的に作動させる不正工作部材の接近を阻止するものでもよく、入口64から出口40側への挿入を阻止する以外のものでもよい。挿入阻止壁66,66aは、入口64の下側であれば、その極近傍、近傍の何れに設けてもよい。また挿入阻止壁66,66aは、入口64の下側に円弧状に設けてもよいし、入口64の下長辺、下短辺に沿ってJ字状又はカギ状に設けてもよい。更に不正工作部材の挿入を阻止できる形状であれば、入口64の下長辺に沿って設けられた挿入阻止壁66を、入口64の下端側を超えて下側へと伸ばしてもよい。挿入阻止壁66,66aは入口64に沿って設けた複数本の突起により構成してもよい。   In the case where the switch 41 of the medal payout means 17 is a proximity type, the fraud prevention unit 65 may prevent an unauthorized working member that electromagnetically operates the switch 41 from being inserted into the outlet 40 side from the inlet 64. It may be something other than blocking. As long as the insertion prevention walls 66 and 66a are below the inlet 64, they may be provided either near the pole or in the vicinity thereof. The insertion prevention walls 66 and 66a may be provided in an arc shape below the inlet 64, or may be provided in a J shape or a key shape along the lower long side and the lower short side of the inlet 64. Further, the insertion preventing wall 66 provided along the lower long side of the inlet 64 may be extended to the lower side beyond the lower end side of the inlet 64 as long as it is a shape that can prevent the unauthorized working member from being inserted. The insertion prevention walls 66 and 66 a may be constituted by a plurality of protrusions provided along the inlet 64.

また遊技媒体としてメダルを使用するスロットマシンを例示しているが、メダル以外の遊技媒体を使用するものでもよい。更にパチンコ機その他の弾球遊技機、又はスロットマシン、弾球遊技機以外の遊技機においても同様に実施することが可能である。   Further, although a slot machine that uses medals as a game medium is illustrated, a game medium other than medals may be used.
