In this specification, “coin” is a general term for coins as currency, medals and tokens of game machines.

The prior art is described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 1 9.
The coin C is inserted from the insertion port 12 formed on the upper left surface of the sorting device 10, the coin discrimination information is acquired by the sensor 14, and the authenticity of the inserted coin is determined based on the discrimination information.
If it is determined that it is a genuine coin TC that is an accepted coin, the gate 16 enters the coin passage 18 and leads to the genuine coin passage 20, and if it is an unacceptable fake coin FC, the gate 16 is moved out of the coin passage 18 and returned to the return port. Return to 22.
The storage chamber 26 in which the received genuine coins TC are arranged and reserved in the thickness direction up to the storage opening 24 is inclined downward with respect to the horizontal with the inclined bottom 28 from the first inclined end wall 30 toward the second inclined end wall 32. It is constructed by a slit-like specie inlet 34 having a width corresponding to the true coin thickness at a location adjacent to the upper end of the first inclined end wall 30 provided perpendicular line L1 passing through the center of the genuine coin inlet 34 and a second inclined configured to droop onto the end wall 32, the inclined bottom 28 positive inclined downwardly in opposite directions towards the upper end and the return port 22 of the specie receiving slope communication passage 36 which is inclined downwardly toward the housing opening 24 the upper end of the coin return inclination communication passage 38 is formed by a ridge intersect.

Reality 6-7433 (Figures 1 to 3, pages 2 to 3)

This conventional technique has an advantage that it is possible to determine the authenticity of a coin and to hold a genuine coin in a 3.5-inch vertical and horizontal size which is a de facto standard in the technical field of coin processing.
However, since the conventional technique is intended for one type of coin, when coins with different diameters are to be held, the first gate pin 40 and the second gate pin 42 cannot be moved smoothly, resulting in the return of coins or There is a problem of poor storage.
This will be described with reference to FIG.
When the large-diameter true coin TCL and the small-diameter true coin TCS are held together, the large-diameter true coin TCL has its lowermost end positioned on the inclined bottom 28, but the small-diameter true coin TCS is inclined at a position shifted from the lowermost end Supported by the bottom 28 and held.
In the situation shown in FIG. 20, when the small-diameter true coin TCS is moved to the storage port 24 side, the small-diameter true coin TCS is sandwiched between the inclined bottom 28 and the first gate pin 40 by the movement of the first gate pin 40. It moves and cannot be stored smoothly.
In the worst case, there is a problem that the small-diameter true coin TCS is sandwiched between the inclined bottom 28 and the first gate pin 40, and the first gate pin 40 is locked to cause a coin jam.
Furthermore, it is required to provide a simple structure at low cost.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, the de facto standard has an insertion port 12 arranged on the upper left side of the apparatus and a storage port 24 and a return port 22 adjacent to the lower surface.
Since the conventional storage port 24 is arranged on the right side of the apparatus, there is a problem that it cannot be replaced with a de facto standard coin processing apparatus.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a coin processing device that does not cause coin jam in storing and returning coins by ensuring a smooth operation even when a plurality of coins having different diameters are held. It is to be.
The second object of the present invention is to provide a coin processing device that can hold a received genuine coin and that has a storage port and a return port for the reserved genuine coin on the lower surface of the device, and that is more inexpensive and highly reliable. It is.
A third object of the present invention is to provide a coin processing device that can hold an accepted genuine coin and can replace a coin processing device that is a de facto standard.

In order to achieve this object, the coin processing apparatus according to the present invention is configured as follows.
To determine the authenticity of coins that have been charged in the inlet sorted into the return coins and receiving coins, the pending accept the accepted coins to the receiving port or et hold device, wherein the holding device is lower and arranged mounting body in, are disposed above and laterally of the mounting body is constituted by a pair of supports to be moved to selectively retain position 置及 beauty non-holding position location, supporting the pair in the coin processing apparatus that selectively deliver the pending acceptance coin storage port or return port by selectively moving the body to the holding position and the non-retaining position, before described mounting body is attached to a rotatable oscillating body centered above the fulcrum, the pair of support is moved to the holding position and the non-holding position separately, before, wherein mounting body is the non-holding of the support coin processing apparatus characterized by being tailgating moved in the same direction when moved to the position A.

The present invention, the pair of support is possible arc moved toward the front, wherein mounting body along the outer edge of the coin to the non-holding position from the holding position to the fulcrum supporting shaft, the oscillator in the arc transfer process it is preferably characterized by tailgating previous described mounting body engages the driven part.

The invention further acceptance coin is positioned above and laterally of the specie entrance mouth or et disposed below have been placed body and the mounting body, a pair of moving to selectively retain position and a non-retaining position accept pending apparatus constituted by a support suspended, selectively send the pending coin selectively accommodated port or return port by moving in the holding position and the non-holding position of the pair of support in the coin processing apparatus so as to supply, the detection communication passage which is inclined forwardly downward Following inlet, said sensing passage to the coin detection sensor adjacent arrangement, the detection extending downwardly from the passage sorting communication path, wherein returning communication path subsequent to the sorting path, a return slot following said return path, said return opening said receiving coin storing port formed downward laterally in the radial direction of the, vibration was arranged to freely advance and retreat in the sorting path minute body, the allocation body following the sorting body Pending equipment arranged towards the holding device and the mounting body fixed at right angles to the surface holding member and swingably provided the surface holder to pivot the upper end of the front, wherein mounting body unsupported position and the three-dimensional storing chamber constituted by a first support capable selectively positioned and a second support positioned below and laterally of the mounting body and the supporting position of the upper and lateral wherein the pre-described mounting body, wherein the first support and the second support member is inclined parallel to the thickness direction of the coin, the first support and the second support is the non-supporting position from the support position is preferably a coin processing apparatus characterized by engages the Oite the surface holding member to move to be Re co communicated in the same direction.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the input port, the receiving port, the storage port, and the return port are attached to a main body, and the placing body and the swinging body are attached to a sub-base that is detachable from the main body.

And put on hold.
The reservation chamber is located above the storage opening and the return opening, and is three-dimensionally configured by at least the mounting body, the first support body, and the second support body.
The coin whose lower end of the peripheral surface is supported on the mounting body has a moving force in the tilt direction by its own weight.
The left and right sides of the peripheral surface of the diameter portion of the reserve coin on which the lower end of the peripheral surface is supported on the mounting body are supported by the first support body and the second support body and held in the storage chamber.
The coins that are subsequently fed to the holding chamber are sequentially held in a state where the lower surface is in surface contact with the upper surface of the reserved coin.

When the first support member is moved to the non-holding position from the holding position of the coins, it is around the mounting body as the same direction in the process.
Thereby, the mounting body in which the coin is mounted is shifted from below the center of gravity of the coin.
Therefore, since the reserved coin rolls with its own weight toward the center of gravity with respect to the mounting body, it is fed in that direction.
If the feeding direction is the return port direction, the coin is returned to the return port.
When the second support body moves from the holding position to the non-holding position, the reserved coin rolls with its own weight toward the center of gravity with respect to the mounting body, so that it is fed to the storage port in that direction and falls from the storage port.
As a result, the reserved coin can be fed to a storage port or a return port located below the coin processing device, and a reserved coin processing device compatible with the size that is the de facto standard is provided.
Moreover, since the reserved coin supported by the mounting body rolls under its own weight, it can be smoothly moved, and there is an advantage that no coin jam occurs.
Furthermore, the mounting body, because it is constituted by a first supporting bearing member and the second support member, the configuration is simple, it is possible to realize a small and inexpensive coin processing device.

In the present invention, the coins falling into the holding chamber are first deflected in a posture in the same direction as the surface holding body by the directing body and dropped onto the surface holding body, and the lower end is placed on the mounting body by sliding on the surface. The lower surface is supported by the surface holding body, and the left and right diameter portions are held and retained by the first support body and the second support body.
Thereby, the coin to be held is held in a state where the coin is surely in surface contact with the surface holding body.
As a result, there is an advantage that a predetermined number of coins can be always held because the reserved coins are held in a predetermined posture and there is no decrease in the storage chamber volume due to abnormal holding.
In addition, since the coin is brought down on the surface holding body by the deflection surface, the coin holding device can be arranged directly under the coin receiving port, and a predetermined number of coins can be held without increasing the size of the coin stacking direction. There is an advantage that a small coin processing apparatus can be obtained.

The present invention is found that coins that are charged in the inlet is acquired coin information for genuineness discrimination by the coin detection sensors in developing rolling the sensing passage forwardly downwardly, authenticity discrimination based on the information Is done.
Based on the authenticity determination, the coins that advance in the sorting passage are guided by the sorting device to the return passage if they are false coins and returned from the return port.
In the case of a genuine coin, the genuine coin guided to the genuine coin passage by the distribution device is retained in the reservation room below the distribution device.
The reservation chamber is located above the storage opening and the return opening, and is three-dimensionally configured by at least the mounting body, the first support body, and the second support body.
The coin whose lower end of the peripheral surface is supported on the mounting body can slide in the inclination direction of the mounting body by its own weight.

After slide down in contact with the lower circumferential surface specie that Technology of subsequently delivered to reserve chamber whereas the upper surface of its pending specie, in a state in which the upper surface of the lower surface and the lower specie is in surface contact Held sequentially.
Even if the coin whose surface is supported on the lower end of the mounting surface is not in surface contact with the surface holding body, the coin is tilted by the lateral force received by the dropped coin. It is shifted to the side and comes into surface contact.
Therefore, since a predetermined number of coins can be held in a limited holding room, it is possible to realize a holding type coin processing device that is compatible with the size that is the de facto standard.

In addition, when the insertion port, the receiving port, the storage port, and the return port are attached to the main body, and the placing body and the swinging body are attached to the sub base that is detachable from the main body, a coin holding chamber is provided. The mounting body and the rocking body which are comprised are attached to the sub base.
Therefore, in the case of these maintenance and repair, it can be removed from the base and work can be easily performed.

The best mode of the present invention is a pair of receiving coins disposed below and from the original coin entrance, and a pair that is disposed above and to the side of the placing body and selectively moves to a holding position and a non-holding position. The holding coin is received and held by the holding device, and the holding coin is selectively transferred to the holding position and the non-holding position of the pair of supporting bodies, and selectively sent to the storage port or the return port.

The first support 132 is in contact with one circumferential surface of the specie TC at the holding position SP1 that is above and to the side of the mount 130, and supports the specie TC to be positioned on the mount 130. In the case of returning the retained coin, it has a function of selectively moving to the return position CP2, which is a non-holding position.
The first support 132 is selectively moved to the holding position SP1 and the return position CP2 by the first moving device 234.
The first moving device 234 includes a second electromagnetic actuator 236 and a first link mechanism 238.
Second electromagnetic actuator 236 is fixed to sub-base 128 by second bracket 242.
The first iron core 244 of the second electromagnetic actuator 236 is linked to the first link mechanism 238.
The first core 244 is biased (to the right in FIG. 8) protruding direction by the first spring 24 5.

The first link mechanism 238 is swingably supported by a first lever 248 that is rotatably supported by a support shaft 246 that protrudes on the back side of the sub base 128, and a support shaft 250 that protrudes on the back side of the sub base 128. The second lever 252, the first connecting rod 254 connecting the second lever 252 and the first lever 248, and the second connecting rod 256 connecting the first iron core 244 and the second lever 252 are included.
The first lever 248 is a transverse Crank, at the position of the lever ratio approximately 1: 3 is rotatably supported on the shaft 2 46, first support member 132 is fixed to one distal end, first the other end A balance weight 258 is fixed.

The first support 132 extends through the first arc-shaped elongated hole 260 formed around the support shaft 246 formed in the sub-base 128 to the third guide wall 184 with a predetermined length.
The first support 132 is set at a right angle to the surface holding body 226, and the protruding amount is set to be the same as that of the mounting body 130.
By adopting the first balance weight 258, the second electromagnetic actuator 236 having a small output can be used, and there is an advantage that cost reduction and power saving can be achieved.

The second lever 252 is a linear lever substantially vertically suspended in a standby state in which the second lever 252 is rotatably supported by the support shaft 250 in the middle of the lower end, and the lower end of the first connecting rod 254 is formed in the shaft hole formed in the upper end. pin 26 1 projecting being rotatably inserted from parts.
An upper end portion of the first connecting rod 254 is rotatably attached to a first lever 248 between the support shaft 246 and the first support body 132 by a pin 264.
One end of the second connecting rod 256 is fixed to the first iron core 244, and a screw 272 screwed into the sub-base 128 is passed through the long hole 268 at the other end to constitute a first guide mechanism 274 for linear motion. and, a pin 278 projecting laterally from the lower end of the second lever 252 is inserted rotatably into the shaft hole 27 7.

With this configuration, the second electromagnetic actuator 236 when demagnetized, the first core 244 is protruded by the first spring 24 5, a second connecting rod 256 is still in the most position moved to the right as shown in FIG. 8 .
As a result, the second lever 252 is substantially pivoted to the vertical position via the pin 278, and the second lever 252 and the first connecting rod 254 are aligned substantially in a straight line, and the first connecting rod 254 and the first lever 248 are aligned. The first lever 248 is held at a position rotated most clockwise around the support shaft 246 as shown in FIG.

Thereby, the first support 132 at the tip of the second lever 252 is held at the holding position SP1.
By setting the second lever 252 and the first connecting rod 254 to be in a straight line and the first connecting rod 254 and the first lever 248 being substantially perpendicular to each other, the external force generated by the retained true coin TC is applied to the first support 132. This is to prevent a large torque from acting on the first lever 248 even if acts.
When the second electromagnetic actuator 236 is energized, the second connecting rod 256 is pulled to the left in FIG. 8, the second lever 252 via the pin 2 7 8 is rotated clockwise, the pin 26 1, the 1 connecting rod 254, first lever 248 through a pin 264 is rotated counterclockwise (Fig. 1 3).
As a result, the first support 132 is moved to the return position CP2 (FIG. 11).
The first support member 132 is press driven part 282 of the surface holding member 226 is around slightly surface holding member 226 as the support shaft 2 3 2 around.
Thereby, the mounting body 130 is moved in the same direction, and the mounting body 130 is moved to the second support 134 side from the normal position.
The amount of movement of the mounting body 130 is set so that the support portion of the mounting body 130 is positioned closer to the second support body 134 than the center of gravity of the smallest diameter coin TC whose movement is restricted by the first support body 132. The
This is because even if the coin has a minimum diameter of 50 yen, the support portion of the mounting body 130 is moved to the second support 134 side, and the reserved coin TC can be rolled by its own weight.

The second lever 252 and the first connecting rod 254 constitute a toggle action mechanism 276.
When the first support member 132 is moved to the rightmost, as shown in FIG. 10 by a first spring 24 5, slightly right of the line L2 to the center 262 of the pin 26 1 connecting the centers of the pins 264 and 268 The end of the long hole 268 is locked by the screw 272 and stopped.
When a counterclockwise moment is applied to the first lever 248 in this state, a counterclockwise force is applied to the second lever 252 but the second connecting rod 256 cannot be moved by the screw 272, so the first support body 132 will never be moved.
In other words, even if the first support 132 receives a force that moves from the holding position SP1 to the return position CP2, it is mechanically restrained and maintains the holding position SP1.
By adopting the toggle action mechanism 276, there is an advantage that the position of the first support 132 can be stabilized by an inexpensive configuration.
The toggle action mechanism 276 can also be constituted by a protrusion formed on the second lever 252 and a protrusion formed on the first connecting rod 254.

Next, the second support 134 will be described.
In the holding position SP2, the second support 134 comes into contact with one circumferential surface of the genuine coin TC, supports the genuine coin TC to be positioned on the mounting body 130, and selects the storage position RP2 when storing the reserved coins. It has a function to move automatically.
The second support member 134 is selectively moved to the holding position SP2 and storage position RP2 by the second moving device 27 9.
Second mobile apparatus 27 9 includes a third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 and the second link mechanism 284.
The third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 is fixed to the sub-base 128 by a third bracket 286.
The second core 288 of the third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 is linked coupled to the second link mechanism 284.
The second iron core 288 is urged by the second spring 292 in the protruding direction (leftward in FIG. 9).

The second link mechanism 284 is swingably supported by a third lever 296 that is rotatably supported by a support shaft 294 that protrudes on the back side of the sub base 128, and a support shaft 298 that protrudes on the back side of the sub base 128. The fourth lever 304, the third connecting rod 306 connecting the third lever 296 and the fourth lever 304, and the fourth connecting rod 308 connecting the second iron core 288 and the fourth lever 304 are included.
The third lever 296 has a lateral crank shape and is rotatably supported by the support shaft 294 at a position where the lever ratio is approximately 1: 3. A second support 134 is fixed to one end and a second balance is provided to the other end. Weight 31 3 is fixed.

The second support 134 has a second arc-shaped long hole 31 5 formed around the spindle 294 formed on the sub-base 128 toward the third guide wall 184 through extending a predetermined length .
The second support 134 is set at a right angle to the surface holding body 226, and the protruding amount is set to be the same as that of the mounting body 130.
In other words, the mounting body 130, the first support body 132, and the second support body 134 protrude perpendicularly to the surface holding body 226 with the same length.
The distance between the first support 132 and the second support 134 in the holding positions SP1 and SP2 is set slightly larger than the diameter of the largest coin to be used.
Further, in the state positioned at the holding positions SP1 and SP2, the first support body 132 and the second support body 134 are positioned to the left and right of the diameter portion of the specie TC on which the lower peripheral surface is mounted on the mounting body 130. Is set.
Specifically, when the first support 132 and the second support 134 are positioned at the holding positions SP1 and SP2, the first support 132 and the left and right of the center between the maximum diameter and the minimum diameter of the reserved coin TC It is preferable to set so that the second support 134 is positioned.

Further, by employing the second balance weight 31 3, can use a third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 small output, there is an advantage of cost reduction and power saving.
The fourth lever 304 is a linear lever substantially vertically suspended in a standby state in which the middle near the lower end is rotatably supported by the support shaft 298, and the third connecting rod 30 6 A pin 312 protruding from the lower end is rotatably inserted.
The upper end portion of the third connecting rod 30 3 is rotatably mounted by a pin 314 to the third lever 296 between the shaft 294 and the second support 134.
One end of the fourth connecting rod 308 is fixed to the second iron core 288, and a screw 318 screwed into the sub-base 128 passes through the long hole 316 at the other end to constitute a second guide mechanism 322 for linear motion. A pin 326 that projects laterally from the lower end of the fourth lever 304 is rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 324.

With this configuration, the third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 when demagnetized, the second iron core 28 8 protrudes by a second spring 292, the fourth connecting rod 308 is still in the most position moved to the left as shown in FIG. 8 .
As a result the fourth lever 304 through a pin 326 is rotated approximately Shideritsu position, a state where the fourth lever 304 and the third connecting rod 30 6 are aligned in a straight line, the third connecting rod 30 3 and the third lever The third lever 296 is held at a position rotated most counterclockwise around the support shaft 294 as shown in FIG.
Thus, the second support 134 of the third lever 2 9 6 tip is held in the holding position SP2.
By setting the fourth lever 304 and the third connecting rod 30 6 to be substantially in a straight line and the third connecting rod 30 6 and the third lever 296 to be substantially perpendicular to each other, the second support 134 is held in a genuine coin. This is to prevent a large torque from acting on the third lever 296 even when an external force is applied by the TC.
When the third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 is excited, because the fourth connecting rod 308 is moved rightward in FIG. 9, the fourth lever 304 through a pin 326 is rotated counterclockwise, the pin 312, the The third lever 296 is rotated clockwise through the three connecting rod 30 6 and the pin 314 (FIG. 10).
As a result, the second support 134 is moved to the storage position RP2 (FIG. 11 ).
At this time, the second support member 134 is press driven part 282 of the surface holding member 226 is around slightly surface holding member 226 as the support shaft 2 3 2 around.
Thereby, the mounting body 130 is moved in the same direction, and the mounting body 130 is moved to the first support body 132 side from the normal position.
The amount of movement of the mounting body 130 is set so that the support portion of the mounting body 130 is positioned closer to the second support body 134 than the center of gravity of the smallest diameter coin TC whose movement is restricted by the second support body 134. The
This is because even if the coin has the minimum diameter of 50 yen, the support portion of the mounting body 130 is moved to the opposite side of the second support body 134 and the reserved coin TC can be rolled by its own weight.

Note that the fourth lever 304 and the third connecting rod 30 6 constitute a toggle action mechanism 328.
When the second support 134 is moved rightmost by the second spring 292 as shown in FIG. 10, the center of the pin 312 is located slightly to the right of the line L3 connecting the centers of the pins 326 and 314. In this state, the end of the long hole 316 is locked by the screw 318 and stopped.
In this state, when a clockwise moment acts on the third lever 296, a clockwise force acts on the fourth lever 304, but the fourth connecting rod 308 cannot be moved by the screw 318, so the second support 134 is It will not be moved.
In other words, even if the second support 134 receives a force that moves from the holding position SP2 to the storage position RP2, it is mechanically restrained and maintains the holding position SP2.
By adopting the toggle action mechanism 328, there is an advantage that the position of the second support 134 can be stabilized by an inexpensive configuration.
Toggle action mechanism 328 can be employed different configurations and embodiments.
When the first support member 132 and the second support 134 is positioned at the holding position SP1 and SP2, the surface carrier 22 6 are left and right projections 330, 331 are locked by the first support member 132 and the second support 134 In the state where the mounting body 130 is directly below, the stationary body 130 is stationary so as not to swing.

Next, the aligning and dropping device 332 will be described.
The aligning and dropping device 332 always has the thickness of the true coin TC when the true coin TC falls from the true coin entrance 334 which is the upper end of the true coin passage 158 by the sorting body 122 and is held in the holding chamber 126. Has the function of aligning in the direction.
The aligning and dropping device 332 is a plate-like body that is arranged in the vertical direction in opposition to the allocating body 122, and the deflecting surface that the directional body 335 that extends below the allocating body 122 and the lower end portion of the directional body 335 are opposed to each other. Includes 336.
The directional body 335 is plate-shaped and faces the sorting body 122, in other words, the coin entrance 334 at a predetermined interval, and extends incline in the same direction as the surface holding body 226 with respect to the vertical. It is.
The directing body 335 is preferably made of a transparent resin plate so that the movement status of the specie TC can be confirmed.
Further, since the directing body 335 is rubbed by the coin C, it is preferable to dispose a metal wear prevention piece (not shown) extending in the coin moving direction (vertical direction) at least partially.

Oriented body 335 is located in the second vertical drafting inner wall 164 side, a storing chamber 126 above the wall below the specie inlet 334, arcuately curved to face the holding member 2 26 side on the opposite side of the return path 118 ing.
The lower end 338 of the directing body 335 is opposed to the upper end portion of the third guide wall 184 at a predetermined interval.
The upper end portion of the third guide wall 184 is a deflection surface 336.
The predetermined interval is an interval of about two coins C thick.
A perpendicular line L4 in contact with the edge of the lower end 338 of the directing body 335 is arranged so as to intersect the surface holding body 226.

Further, a lower portion of the deflection surface 336 of the third guide wall 184 is a tilted portion 342.
The tilting portion 342 is positioned such that the upper end portion thereof is biased toward the surface holding body 226 when the genuine coin TC held in the holding chamber 126 is suspended.
In other words, the perpendicular line L5 that is in contact with the inclined portion 342 is set so as to intersect the surface holding body 226.
The genuine coin TC guided to the genuine coin passage 158 by the distributing body 122 is guided downward by the directing body 335 and tilted in the same direction as the surface holding body 226 between the deflecting surface 336, It falls into the holding chamber 126.
The dropped genuine coin TC falls on the surface holding body 226 or the mounting body 130, and the left and right circumferential surfaces are held by the first support body 132 and the second support body 134 and finally mounted on the mounting body 130. At the same time, it is slid by the inclination of the mounting body 130, and the coin lower surface is held in surface contact with the surface holding body 226.

Even if the genuine coin TC falls vertically, the upper end of the genuine coin TC placed on the placing body 130 is biased by the tilting portion 342, so that the center of gravity G is placed on the placing body. Since it is located closer to the surface holding body 226 than the rotation point TP on 130, the true coin TC is brought down to the surface holding body 226 side and comes into surface contact with the surface holding body 226.
The subsequent specie TC also falls on the reserved specie TC and is similarly held.
As a result, the held true coins TC are aligned and held in the thickness direction of the true coins TC while being in surface contact.

Next, the thread suspension fraud prevention device 166 will be described.
The yarn-hanging fraud prevention device 166 has a function of preventing a fraud in which a tentacle string or the like is attached to the true coin TC, and a coin that has been determined to be a genuine coin is pulled back by the tenji yarn and is determined to be a genuine coin again.
In this embodiment, lateral support shaft 344 to the movable restricting plate 1 48 is disposed, fan-shaped pullback preventer 346 is rotatably attached.
One end of the pullback preventer 346 is a downstream sensing passage 112, at its moment across the sorting path 116 and projects the locking hole 348 of the first vertical planning inner wall 1 62 (chain line in FIG. 3 Shown).
With this structure, the coin C can pass by pushing the pull-back preventing body 346 when moving downstream in the sorting passage 116, but the reverse movement is prevented by the locking hole 348. Since it is blocked by the body 346, it is impossible to pull back the coin that has once passed through the pull-back preventing body 346.

Next, the return guide rail 350 will be described.
The return guide rail 350 has a function of guiding the genuine coin TC sent from the holding chamber 126 by the movement of the first support 132 to the return position CP2 so as to roll down toward the return port 108.
The return guide rail 350 is formed by a flat plate-like body that is inclined downward toward the return port 108 below the reservation chamber 126, specifically, below the first support 132.
The true coin TC rolling on the return guide rail 350 falls into the return chamber 142.

Next, the storage guide rail 352 will be described.
The storage guide rail 352 has a function of guiding the genuine coin TC sent out from the holding chamber 126 by the movement of the second support 134 to the storage position RP2 so as to roll down toward the storage port 106.
The storage guide rail 352 is formed by a flat plate-like body that is inclined downward toward the storage port 106 below the reservation chamber 126, specifically, below the second support 134.
The genuine coin TC rolling on the storage guide rail 352 falls into the storage port 106.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
A case will be described in which the coin processing device 100 of the present embodiment is built in a game machine and the fee for one time is set to 150 yen.
In other words, the game is set to be possible only when one 100-yen coin and five 10-yen coins are accepted or only when one 100-yen coin and one 50-yen coin are accepted.
Therefore, when 10 yen, 50 yen, and 100 yen are inserted, they are accepted as genuine coins TC, and other coins and medals are returned as fake coins FC.

If the power is not turned on, the first electromagnetic actuator 196, the second electromagnetic actuator 236, and the third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 remains demagnetized.
In other words, the sorting body 122 is held at the return position CP, the first support body 132 is held at the holding position SP1, and the second support body 134 is held at the holding position SP2 (FIG. 7).
When a true coin is inserted in this state, the coin detection sensor 114 does not output coin information, so the first electromagnetic actuator 196 is not excited and continues the return position CP.
Therefore, the inserted true coin TC and fake coin FC are returned to the return port 108 through the return passage 118.

Then when the power is turned on, the coin detection sensors 114 becomes a coin detection ready state, the first electromagnetic actuator 196, the second electromagnetic actuator 236, and the third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 continues to demagnetized state.
First, when a false coin FC is inserted, coin information is acquired by the coin detection sensor 114 in the process of falling through the detection passage 112, and the determination device 150 determines that it is a false coin FC based on the acquired coin information.
In the case of the false coin FC , the first electromagnetic actuator 196 is not excited.
As a result, since the distribution body 122 continues the return position CP, the fake coin FC falls into the return chamber 142 through the return passage 118 and can be taken out from the return port 108.

The case where a genuine 100 yen coin is inserted will be explained.
Based on the coin information acquired by the coin detection sensor 114 in the process of falling down the detection passage 112, the determination device 150 determines that the true coin TC is 100 yen and excites the first electromagnetic actuator 196 for a predetermined time.
Thus, the sorting member 122 is pivoted, is moved to the receiving preparative position RP (solid line shown in FIG. 3).
True coin TC rolling the sorting path 116 is guided to the genuine path 158 by the sorting member 122 is located in the receiving preparative position RP.
After a sufficient time has elapsed for the genuine coin TC to move to the genuine coin passage 158, the first electromagnetic actuator 196 is demagnetized and the sorting body 122 is returned to the return position CP.

The genuine coin TC guided to the genuine coin passage 158 is guided by the directing body 335 and the deflecting surface 336 of the aligning and dropping device 332 at the lower end thereof and directed to the lower holding chamber 126, and has the same inclination as the surface holding body 226. And falls into the holding chamber 126.
The genuine coin TC dropped on the surface holding body 226 or the mounting body 130 is supported by the mounting body 130 at the lower peripheral surface, and the left and right diameter portions are supported by the first support body 132 and the second support body 134. Further, the lower surface comes into surface contact with the surface holder 226 and is retained in the retaining chamber 126 (FIG. 14).
Even when the genuine coin TC falls vertically, the upper end portion of the true coin TC is biased toward the surface holding body 226 by the depressing portion 342, so that it is similarly held.

If subsequently the true positive 50 yen coins is turned, being guided by the genuine passage 158 in the same manner as described above by the sorting member 122 is guided by the directional member 335, and losses were 342, on the upper surface of the hold 100 yen coin Fall.
As a result, the lower end of the 50-yen coin TC slides on the upper surface of the 100-yen coin, the lower peripheral surface is supported by the mounting body 130, and the left and right diameter portions are supported by the first support 132 and the second support 134. Is held in contact with the top surface of the 100-yen coin.
Since 150 yen is now reserved in the reservation room 126, the determination device 150 outputs a game ready signal to the game machine.
When a genuine coin TC is inserted after outputting the game possible signal, the genuine coin TC is returned to the return port 108 as a false coin as described above.

If subsequently the true positive 10 yen coins thrown into 100 yen true coin TC, mounting body 130 mounting the lower end peripheral surface similar to the 50 yen coins, the left and right diameter portion to the first support member 132 and the second support 134 The lower surface is held in contact with the upper surface of the 100-yen coin in the holding chamber 126.
Subsequent 10-yen true coins TC are also aligned in the thickness direction and held in the holding chamber 126.
When five 10-yen coins are inserted, the total amount is 150 yen, so that the discriminator 150 outputs a game enable signal as described above.
When a 10-yen coin is inserted after the 100-yen coin, if a 50-yen or 100-yen coin is subsequently inserted, it is determined as a fake coin FC and returned from the return slot 108. This is to prevent overcollection.

If the game user has a start instruction to the game machine, the third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 is excited for a predetermined time.
By the excitation of the third electromagnetic actuator 28 3, since the second core 2 88 is moved rightward in FIG. 8, the fourth connecting rod 308 is also moved in the same direction, the third connecting rod 30 6 rotates counterclockwise Is done.
The third lever 296 via a third connecting rod 30 6 is turned clockwise the shaft 294 as a fulcrum, the second support member 134 is moved to a storage position RP 2 by the rotation of the fourth lever 304.
In the course of this movement, the second support 134 pushes the driven portion 282 to rotate the surface holding body 226 in the same direction about the support shaft 232 as a fulcrum.
Thereby, the mounting body 130 moves in the same direction.
The amount of movement of the mounting body 130 at this time is such that the support portion of the mounting body 130 is positioned closer to the first support body 132 than the center of gravity of the smallest coin TC whose movement is restricted by the first support body 132. Therefore, even if it is 50 yen of the smallest diameter coin, it rolls to the opposite side to the first support 132 due to its own weight, falls on the storage guide rail 352, and rolls to the storage port 106. (Figure 15).
The third electromagnetic actuator 28 3 are demagnetized after sufficient time falling hold true coin TC from the holding room 126, the second support member 134 is returned to hold the position SP2 again.

When the player does not play the game, a return operation is performed.
By the return operation, the second electromagnetic actuator 236 is excited for a predetermined time.
Due to the excitation of the second electromagnetic actuator 236, the first iron core 244 moves to the left in FIG. 8, so the second connecting rod 256 also moves in the same direction.
As a result, the second lever 252 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 8, so the first lever 248 is rotated counterclockwise via the first connecting rod 254, and the first support 132 is returned from the holding position SP1. Moved to position CP2.
During the movement process of the first support 132, the driven portion 282 of the surface holding body 226 is pushed by the first support 132 and rotated in the same direction.
As a result, the support portion of the mounting body 130 is positioned closer to the second support body 134 than the center of gravity G of the smallest coin TC whose movement is restricted by the second support body 134. Even a small-diameter coin of 50 yen rolls to the opposite side of the second support 134 due to its own weight and falls onto the return guide rail 350 (FIG. 16).
The dropped coin further rolls on the return guide rail 350, falls into the return chamber 142, and can be taken out from the return port 108.
In other words, the held true coin TC can be returned.
