Description

  The present invention is installed in a slot machine or other various gaming machines, currency exchange machines, money machines, vending machines for various products, etc., and pays out a required number of coins (including medals and other pseudo coins). The present invention relates to a movable derivative for coin dispensing of a hopper type coin dispensing apparatus used for the purpose.

As a movable derivative for coin payout of this kind of hopper type coin payout device, utility model registration No. 2594435 and patent No. 3042778 proposed by the present inventor are known, and in particular, utility model registration No. 2594435 is a coin guide pin. (19) and the leaf spring (16) that is attached to the base (2) are assembled from two parts, and are considered to be the closest to the present invention.
Utility Model Registration No. 2594435 Japanese Patent No. 3042778

  However, in the configuration of the above-mentioned known device, since the inclined surface (20) of about 45 degrees is cut out on the cylindrical coin guide pin (19) itself, when this is attached to the leaf spring (16). In addition, it is extremely difficult to accurately position the inclined surface (20) as the direction of contact with the coin (6) when the coin throwing disk (3) is reversed, and the attaching operation cannot be performed quickly. .

  On the other hand, in the configuration of the above-described known invention, an elastic piece (44) having a substantially J shape in a side view is formed by bending a single metal leaf spring material from the horizontal folding ridge line (XX) to the back. Since the standing tip of the elastic piece (44) must be continuously integrated into a half-folded state from the vertical folding ridgeline (YY) to form a thick contact (45), The press work becomes complicated, and the coin receiving vertical surface (45f) of the contact (45) in the half-folded state is likely to be cracked due to repeated receiving of the coin (C). ) And the elastic piece (44), the half-folded wrinkle is generated, resulting in a poor appearance as the movable derivative (A).

  In particular, when the elastic piece (44) and the contact (45) of the movable derivative (A) are paired as shown in FIGS. 16 to 18 and pressed from one metal plate spring material, the contact (45). Of the rotor receiving concave groove (G) projecting from the groove bottom surface (h), and the inclination angle (θ) of the coin relief inclined surface (45r) intersecting the groove bottom surface of the rotor receiving concave groove (G) It is difficult to align them equally and uniformly.

  The present invention aims to improve such problems, and in order to achieve the object, according to claim 1, a single metal plate having a base end attached to and fixed to the back surface of the rotor receiving plate in a cantilever manner. And a coin receiving pin that is planted and integrated in a state projecting from the groove bottom surface of the rotor receiving concave groove in the rotor receiving plate by a certain height substantially corresponding to the thickness of the coin, near the tip of the metal plate,

  The coin received in the coin receiving hole of the disk rotor having a hole for coin transfer inserted in the rotor receiving concave groove of the rotor receiving plate and pushed forward in one direction by the forwardly rotating disk rotor is transferred to the coin. In the movable derivative for coin payout of the hopper type coin payout device, which is received once by the receiving pin and guided to change the direction to the coin payout opening opened in a part of the circumferential surface of the rotor receiving concave groove,

  From the tip of the metal plate, the coin escape guide piece whose upper surface is an upward inclined surface facing the coin receiving pin is bent and the coin that has been pushed forward and conveyed in the opposite direction by the reverse rotation of the disk rotor is released. It is characterized in that it is determined so as to get over the coin receiving pin by the guide piece.

  Moreover, in the structure of Claim 2, while making the front-end | tip part of a metal plate into a circular-arc-edging form, the separation line is cut into the front-end | tip part only about half of the board width,

  Utilizing the arc edge surface of the tip as an upward inclined surface toward the coin receiving pin by bending the coin escape guide piece perpendicularly from the vertical bending ridge line of the metal plate perpendicular to the separation line It is characterized by.

  The structure of claim 3 is characterized in that the tip of the metal plate is folded back at an acute angle from the transverse folding ridgeline so that the plate surface of the metal plate becomes an upward inclined surface toward the coin receiving pin of the coin escape guide piece. To do.

  In the structure of Claim 4, the notch piece processed into the front-end | tip part of the metal plate is used as a coin escape guide piece, and it is bent at an acute angle from the transverse bending ridge line of the metal plate, whereby the plate surface of the metal plate is a coin receiving pin. It is characterized by the fact that it is used as an uphill slope toward the hill.

  In the structure of claim 5, the metal plate is a spring steel plate, and is branched into a bifurcated shape having a difference in length from the base end portion, and a coin receiving pin and a coin escape are formed at the branched and deformable distal end portion. A pair of corresponding pairs with the guide pieces are installed in parallel.

  Further, in the structure of claim 6, the metal plate is made of a rigid stainless steel plate, and is branched into a bifurcated shape having a length difference from the base end portion, and a coin receiving pin and a coin escape guide are provided at the branched tip portion. In parallel with the corresponding pair of pieces,

  A compression coil spring that constantly pushes up and biases a fixed screw that attaches the base end of the metal plate to the rotor receiving plate so that the coin receiving pin and the coin escape guide piece protrude from the bottom surface of the rotor receiving concave groove by a certain height. It is characterized by winding.

  According to the above configuration of claim 1, a coin having an upward inclined surface facing a coin receiving pin from a free front end of a metal plate attached and fixed to the back surface of the rotor receiving plate in a cantilever state at the base end. The coin receiving pin is bent and raised, and the coin that has been conveyed by being pushed forward in the other direction (counterclockwise) by the reverse rotation of the perforated disk rotor is moved upward by the inclined slope of the coin escape guiding piece. It is designed to be able to guide you to escape over the road.

  For this reason, the phenomenon of coin biting and clogging can be eliminated instantly, and the coins pushed forward in one direction (clockwise) by the positive rotation of the perforated disc rotor are temporarily received and then transferred to the coin payout slot. As a coin receiving pin for guiding the direction to be changed, a common cylindrical shape whose mounting direction is free can be adopted. As in the known device described at the beginning, an inclined surface of about 45 degrees is used as a coin guide. As a result of not having to cut out the pin itself, the cylindrical coin receiving pin can be easily planted near the tip of the metal plate without any restrictions, which helps to improve the mass production effect.

  On the other hand, the coin escape guide piece can be simply bent and raised in one step from the free tip of the metal plate as compared with the known coin payout movable derivative described at the beginning. Accurate machining and excellent durability can be obtained.

  In particular, if the configuration of claim 2 is adopted, it is possible to use the arc edge surface of the tip portion punched or cut in the metal plate as it is as an upward inclined surface toward the coin receiving pin of the coin escape guide piece. This improves the quality and durability of movable derivatives for coin payout.

  If the structure of Claim 3 or Claim 4 is adopted, the plate surface of the metal plate can be used as it is as an upward inclined surface toward the coin receiving pin of the coin escape guide piece, and the folding or bending of the metal plate can be used as it is. The sharp angle of the corrugation is large and small depending on the height of the coin receiving pin and the size (diameter) of the coin.

  Further, if the structure of claim 5 is adopted, even if the coin is relatively large, it can be securely received once by a pair of coin receiving pins and correctly and smoothly guided toward the coin payout opening. The coin escape guide piece that comes into contact with the coin that has been pushed forward in the other direction (counterclockwise) by the reverse rotation of the bright disk rotor is tilted up by the sinking action that flexibly deforms from the tip of the metal plate. Combined with the guide action of the surface, there is also an effect that the escape can be guided more smoothly.

  Furthermore, if the structure of claim 6 is adopted, a compression coil spring for constantly pushing up and energizing the coin receiving pin and the coin escape guiding piece is wound around a fixing screw for attaching the base end portion of the metal plate to the rotor receiving plate. Therefore, a rigid stainless steel plate can be adopted as the metal plate, and the same effect as that of the fifth aspect can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, the specific configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 22 showing the assembled state and the disassembled state of the hopper type coin dispensing device, (10) is a framework integrated from a metal plate. A substantially square metal base plate (11) is mounted and fixed in a covered state from above on an opening surface that is an installation base and is inclined by a certain angle. (12) is a fixed screw head relief groove recessed by a certain depth in a substantially central portion of the base plate (11).

  (13) is a reversible motor for rotating the perforated disk rotor, which is normally rotated forward in one direction (clockwise) (F) in FIGS. When the biting phenomenon or clogging phenomenon of (C) is detected, an output signal from the sensor is received, and the counterclockwise rotation (R) is performed in the other direction. (14) is an output shaft of the motor (13), and a transmission key (15) is penetrated in an orthogonal state.

  The motor (13) has a flat plate-type reduction gear case (16) at its upper end, and the reduction gear case (16) is used for fixing screws on the base plate (11) as shown in FIGS. It is attached to the back surface of the head escape groove (12) in a suspended state via a plurality of fixing screws (17).

  Since the head of the fixing screw (17) is allowed to escape into the relief groove (12) of the base plate (11), the surface of the base plate (11) in the inclined installation state at the constant angle. Subsequently, the rotor receiving plate (18) can be joined and integrated in a stacked state from above.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the rotor receiving plate (18) is formed in a size and shape substantially corresponding to the base plate (11), as shown in FIGS. A rotor receiving concave groove (G) is provided, and a perforated disk rotor (D) for coin conveyance is fitted into the rotor receiving concave groove (G) from above.

  (19) is a synthetic resin coin receiving hopper having an opening bottom surface that is in communication with the rotor receiving concave groove (G), and its mounting seat (20) is directed to the surface of the rotor receiving plate (18) from above. By mounting and fixing, the above-described perforated disk rotor (D) is restrained in a state of preventing it from coming off upward.

  The circular rotor receiving groove (G) of the rotor receiving plate (18) mentioned above has a C-shape in which a part of its circumferential surface is cut off at an oblique upper position as shown in FIGS. In the center of the C-shape, a boss escape hole (21) for allowing a mounting boss (described later) of the drilled disk rotor (D) to escape is scattered in the lower end arc portion in the same inclined installation state. A plurality of distributed foreign matter discharge holes (22) are formed as openings.

  In this case, the motor (13) is attached to the substantially central portion of the base plate (11) separate from the rotor receiving plate (18) by the fixing screw (17), so that the motor (13) is attached. It is not necessary to distribute a plurality of fixed screw receiving holes necessary for the opening to the groove bottom surface of the rotor receiving concave groove (G) in the rotor receiving plate (18), and foreign matter such as dust is present in the fixed screw receiving hole on the groove bottom surface. Can be effectively prevented from entering and depositing.

  One of the boss escape holes (21) is in a state of passing through the rotor receiving plate (18) and the base plate (11), but a plurality of foreign matter discharge holes (22) are opened only in the rotor receiving plate (18). Since it is distributed and communicates with one large foreign matter discharge slot (23) opened at the corresponding lower end of the base plate (11), it is in a tilted installation state at a certain angle. In other words, the foreign matter can be reliably discharged from the lower end portion by itself.

  (24) is a fixed guiding piece for coin payout comprising a metal plate joined and integrated from above to the surface of the rotor receiving plate (18) as a positional relationship facing one end of the notch of the rotor receiving concave groove (G). , (25) is a slide guide long hole for a count roller formed in the rotor receiving plate (18) as a positional relationship facing the other end of the notch of the rotor receiving concave groove (G). As an elliptical shape penetrating the board (18) and the base plate (11), a pivot pin (26) for counting roller is inserted and suspended from the back side of the base plate (11).

  Then, the opposing gap between the freely rotatable count roller (27) fitted to the pivot pin (26) and the fixed guide piece (24) is pushed and conveyed by the perforated disk rotor (D). It is defined as the payout slot (O) of the coin (C) to be received. However, as long as the payout port (O) can be defined, an idle guide roller (not shown) instead of the fixed guide piece (26) may be pivotally supported on the rotor receiving plate (18). (W) indicates the opening width of the coin payout slot (O).

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the pivot pin (26) for the count roller is planted and integrated in the middle of the count lever (28) made of a substantially triangular metal plate, and the count lever (28). Is attached to the back surface of the base plate (11) via a pivotal screw (29).

  On the other hand, the other end portion of the count lever (28) that can be rotated around the pivotal screw (29) is bent into a substantially L-shape facing back, and the corresponding back from the base plate (11). It is received by the stopper piece (30) cut and raised in the direction.

  Further, (31) always keeps the opening width (W) of the coin payout opening (O) smaller than the diameter of the coin (C), so that the count roller (27) is moved to the coin payout opening (O). A tension coil spring that is urged and biased to the advanced state of the spring, and a spring receiving piece (32) that is cut back from the base plate (11) and the vicinity of the front end of the count lever (28). It is connected to the chain.

  As a result, the coin (C) about to pass through the coin payout opening (O) inevitably comes into contact with the count roller (27) that has received the urging force of the tension coil spring (31), and the count lever (28 ) Is rotated, and the number of coins (C) to be paid out is counted by a count sensor (not shown).

  The above-mentioned disk rotor (D) with a hole for coin conveyance is formed from a synthetic resin material as shown in FIGS. (33) is the disk rotor body, which has a disk shape with a constant thickness that fits into the rotor receiving concave groove (G) of the rotor receiving disk (18), the center of which is a coin (C) As a conical protrusion (34) for sliding down to the peripheral part and falling down, a mounting boss (35) inserted into the boss escape hole (21) from the center part is also raised from the center. It protrudes face down.

  (36) is a transmission keyway cut out in the mounting boss (35), and is fitted with a transmission key (15) passing through the output shaft (14) of the motor (13). The motor (13) and the disc rotor main body (33) rotate integrally.

  A plurality of circular coin receiving holes (37) are formed in the peripheral portion of the disk rotor body (33) so as to have an overall radially symmetric distribution type. Moreover, the upper edge of the opening of each coin receiving hole (37) is in a state of being chamfered so as to easily receive the coin (C) as a conical receiving surface.

  (38) is a positional relationship interposed between the coin receiving holes (37) adjacent to each other, only a certain height (h) substantially corresponding to the thickness of the coin (C) from the back surface of the disk rotor body (33). A plurality of rear curved wings projecting integrally, and pushes and conveys the coin (C) as the perforated disk rotor (D) rotates.

  That is, the rear surface remaining as a notch in the peripheral portion of the disk rotor body (33) relative to the rearward protrusion of the rear curved blade (38), and the rotor receiving recess in the rotor receiving plate (18). The vertical gap between the groove (G) and the groove bottom surface is defined so as to function as a coin conveyance path (P) substantially corresponding to the thickness of the coin (C).

  Each of the rear curved blades (38) is a concave having a small curvature radius along the opening edge of each coin receiving hole (37) in relation to the forward rotation direction (F) of the perforated disk rotor (D). A convex curved surface having a large curvature radius that does not follow the opening edge of each coin receiving hole (37) extends to a tapered shape that is the front side, and the coin (C) is inserted by the front convex curved surface. Push forward.

  Moreover, in the middle part of each of the rear bent wings (38) that bends as a tapered shape of a certain length from the central part to the peripheral part of the disk rotor body (33), an escape concave groove for a later-described coin-dispensing movable derivative is provided. (39) is cut out as an array that describes the overall circle trajectory, whereby each of the rear bent wings (38) is divided into at least two of a root wing piece (38a) and a tip wing piece (38b). It is divided.

  In this regard, in the illustrated embodiment, the escape groove (39) of the movable derivative is cut into the middle part of the curved portion of each of the rear curved wings (38) as two rows of the entire circle locus. Depending on the size of (C), it may be cut out as one row or three or more rows.

  (40) is a metal reinforcing pin that is implanted and integrated into the convex curved surface forming the front side of each of the rear curved blades (38) so as to come into contact with the coin (C), and each of the rear curved blades (38). Can be prevented from being worn away, and more particularly from being broken or broken from the corners of the front end of the root wing piece (38a) and / or the tip wing piece (38b).

  Each of the reinforcing pins (40) is implanted and fixed so as to protrude from the back surface of the disk rotor main body (33) by a certain height (h) substantially corresponding to the thickness of the coin (C), similarly to the rear curved blade (38). However, the protruding portion from the surface is also used as a stirring pin for the coin (C) by penetrating the surface of the disk rotor main body (33) so as to protrude by an appropriate height. It is preferable.

  Further, the reinforcing pins (40) may be implanted and integrated in close contact with the respective rear curved blades (38). However, as is clear from the illustrated embodiment, the respective rear curved blades (38) are provided. It is desirable to implant and fix the base side wing piece (38a) and / or the tip side wing piece (38b) to be formed in a separated state maintaining a constant gap (s). By doing so, the receiving force of the coin (C) by each reinforcing pin (40) does not directly affect each of the rear bent wings (38), and the effect of preventing the chipping and cracking can be further praised. .

  Further, (41) is a pair of elliptically distributed openings that penetrate the rotor receiving groove (G) of the rotor receiving plate (18) and the base plate (11) in the vicinity of the entrance to the coin payout opening (O). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the movable guide relief groove (39) as a whole is formed by dividing the rear curved blade (38) of the perforated disc rotor (D). Are parallel on a typical circle trajectory.

  (A) temporarily receives the coin (C) that is pushed forward along the coin transport path (P) by the perforated disk rotor (D) that rotates forward in one direction (clockwise) (F), This is a movable derivative for coin payout for guiding the coin transfer path (P) to change its direction from the coin payout opening (O).

  In addition, the movable derivative (A) for paying out coins is press-punched from a single metal plate (spring steel plate) (42) having spring properties into an elongated contour shape as shown in FIGS. ) Is a base end portion serving as a mounting seat, and is attached to the back surface of the base plate (11) in a cantilever manner by a plurality of fixing screws (43). (44) shows a receiving hole for the fixing screw (43).

  Most of the metal plate (42), except for the base end (42a), is branched into a bifurcated shape having a length difference (L) from the base end (42a). A pair of coin receiving pins (45) are planted and integrated by caulking in the vicinity of a free tip (42b) that can be flexibly deformed in a state.

  The pair of coin receiving pins (45) have a cylindrical shape, and the coins (C) are always inserted from the back side of the base plate (11) into the rotor receiving concave groove (G) as shown in FIG. ) Protrudes by a constant height (h) substantially corresponding to the thickness of (), and the coin (C) pushed forward in one direction (clockwise) (F) by the positive rotation of the perforated disk rotor (D) It is once received by the circular arc face and guided to change the direction from the coin transport path (P) to the coin payout slot (O).

  Similarly, a pair of coin escape guide pieces (46) are cut and raised from the free tip (42b) of the metal plate (42) in an upright position corresponding to the arc back surface of the coin receiving pin (45). ing.

  In other words, the tip (42b) of the bifurcated metal plate (42) is in the form of an arc border, and here, the separation line (47) crossing about half of the plate width (Z). Is cut. In addition, the coin escape guide piece (46) is bent and raised at a right angle (α) from the longitudinal bending ridge line (YY) of the metal plate (42) orthogonal to the separation line (47). The bent upper surface (the above-mentioned arc border surface of the metal plate) is utilized as an upward inclined surface (46a) toward the apex of the coin receiving pin (45).

  Then, as is apparent from FIG. 22 showing the mounting state, the coin (C) pushed forward in the other direction (counterclockwise) (R) by the reverse rotation of the perforated disk rotor (D), The coin (C) can be moved over the coin receiving pin (45) by being guided by the climbing inclined surface (46a) of the coin escape guiding piece (46). At the moment of overcoming, the metal plate (42) of the movable derivative (A) is elastically bent and deformed, and the coin escape guide piece (46) and the coin receiving pin (45) at the tip (42b) thereof. Sinks into the intrusion hole (41).

  In this regard, in the first embodiment of the coin-dispensing movable derivative (A) shown in FIGS. 16 to 22, the coin escape guide piece (46) is shaped into a substantially fan shape in a side view, and the metal plate (42). The arc edge surface of the tip portion (42b) punched in is utilized as it is as the climbing inclined surface (46a), but by coining it into a triangle in side view instead of the fan shape, the coin escape guidance The longest side of the piece (46) may be used as the climbing inclined surface (46a) in the form of a straight edge.

  Further, the coin escape guide piece (46) of the movable derivative (A) is positioned corresponding to the arc back surface of the coin receiving pin (45), and is rotated in the other direction (counterclockwise) by the reverse rotation of the perforated disk rotor (D). As long as the coin (C) pushed forward in the direction (R) can be guided to escape as a climbing surface of the coin receiving pin (45) by its climbing inclined surface (46a), as shown in the modified embodiment of FIG. The free front end (42b) of the plate (42) is folded back at an acute angle (β) from the transverse folding ridge line (XX) of the plate width (Z), and the plate surface of the folded metal plate (42) is a coin receiving pin. You may form as a coin escape guidance piece (46) used as the climbing inclined surface (46a) which points to the vertex of (45).

  Further, as illustrated in various modified embodiments of FIGS. 24 (I), (II), and (III), the notch piece processed at the central portion of the free end portion (42b) of the metal plate (42) is guided to the coin escape. As the piece (46), the metal plate (42) which is bent and raised is continuously bent at an acute angle (β) from the transverse bending ridge line (XX) of the plate width (Z), so that the plate surface of the bent metal plate (42) is a coin. You may form so that it may become a climbing inclined surface (46a) toward the vertex of a receiving pin (45), and in any case, the above-mentioned acute angle (β) is the planting height of the coin receiving pin (45) and the coin (C). Depending on the size (diameter), etc., it can be selected appropriately.

  In the previous first embodiment, a spring steel plate that can be bent and deformed from its free tip (42b) is adopted as the metal plate (42) of the movable derivative (A), but the second embodiment of FIGS. As shown in the embodiment, a rigid stainless steel plate or the like instead of the spring steel plate may be employed, and the entire contour shape may be cut by laser processing.

  In this case, as is apparent from the attached state of FIGS. 28 and 29, one screw receiving hole (44) formed in the base end portion (42a) of the metal plate (42) is provided with a long fixed screw (43). The fixing screw (43) is screwed into the base plate (11) from the back side, and is interposed between the head of the fixing screw (43) and the metal plate (42). The metal plate (42) is pressed against the base plate (11) by the compression coil spring (48). (49) shows the spring receiving washer.

  Then, even if the metal plate (42) itself does not exhibit the spring property, the coin receiving pin (45) and the coin escape guide piece (46) are compressed coil springs (48) wound around the long fixed screw (43). ) Is maintained in a push-up biasing state protruding into the rotor receiving concave groove (G) through the above-described in / out hole (41), and therefore, the lowering action to sink into the in / out hole (41) is performed against this. It is worthy of adoption as the movable derivative (A) of the present invention.

  Further, in the first embodiment and its various modified embodiments and the second embodiment, the movable dielectric escape groove (39) is provided in the middle of the curved portion of the rear curved blade (38) in the perforated disk rotor (D). The metal plate (42) of the movable derivative (A) is bifurcated into a bifurcated shape, and the coin receiving pin (45) and the coin escape guide The pieces (46) and the in / out holes (41) are also formed as a pair, but the number of these can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the size (diameter) of the coin (C). ) Is small, it may be applied as a movable derivative (A) having one coin receiving pin (45) and one coin escape guide piece (46) shown in another modified embodiment of FIG.

  Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 22, a separate metal base plate (11) is joined and integrated to the back surface of the synthetic resin rotor receiving plate (18), and the above-mentioned hole is formed on the back surface of the base plate (11). A reversible motor (13) for rotating the disc rotor, a count lever (28), a movable derivative (A) for paying out coins, etc. are attached, but the use of the base plate (11) is omitted and these are received by the rotor. It can be attached directly to the back of the board (18).

  23, 24, and 30 and other configurations in the second embodiment of FIGS. 25 to 29 are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment of FIGS. Only the corresponding reference numerals to those in FIGS. 1 to 22 are written in .about.30, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In any case, in the hopper type coin payout device having the above-described configuration, the perforated disk rotor (D) is driven in one direction (clockwise) in FIGS. ), The coins (C) accommodated in the hopper (19) are partitioned on the back side one by one through the coin receiving holes (37) of the disc rotor body (33). The coin-carrying path (P) is directed to the coin-dispensing movable derivative (A) by the rear curved wing (38) that is taken into the coin-carrying path (P) and protrudes from the back surface of the disc rotor body (33). Then pushed forward and conveyed.

  The movable derivative (A) is located in the vicinity of the entrance of the coin payout opening (O), and is approximately the same as the thickness of the coin (C) from the groove bottom surface of the rotor receiving concave groove (G) to the coin conveyance path (P). The coin (C) pushed forward and conveyed by the perforated disk rotor (D) eventually becomes a coin in the movable derivative (A) because it is in a state of pushing-up pressure biasing that always protrudes by a corresponding fixed height (h). A disc rotor (perforated disk rotor) that is once received by the circular arc surface of the receiving pin (45) and guided to change the direction from the coin conveying path (P) to the coin payout opening (O), and works on the coin (C). Combined with the rotational centrifugal force of D), the result is that the coin is paid out from the coin payout opening (O).

  Then, the coin (C) in the process of passing through the coin payout opening (O) inevitably comes into contact with the count roller (27) energizing the opening width (W) in a narrow dimension. Since the count lever (28) is rotated, the number of coins (C) to be paid out is accurately counted by a count sensor (not shown).

  However, the installation of the count lever (28) is omitted, and a light transmission type or light reflection type count sensor (not shown) is directly faced to the coin payout opening (O), whereby the coin (C) is paid out. While counting the number of sheets, a controller (not shown) that receives the output electrical signal may automatically determine forward / reverse rotation and stop of the drilling disk rotor driving motor (13).

  If the coin (C) is bitten or clogged while the coin (C) is being pushed and conveyed by the perforated disk rotor (D), the coin (C) is not counted. Based on the output signal from the sensor (not shown) that detects this, the perforated disk rotor (D) is driven in the other direction (counterclockwise) (R) by the drive motor (13) as shown in FIG.
