Description

請求項１記載の発明は、遊技媒体を収容するための遊技媒体用容器であって、上面が開放され、内部に遊技媒体を収容することができる容器本体と、前記容器本体の側面下部に形成され、前記容器本体内の遊技媒体を流出させるための流出窓と、前記容器本体側面に沿ってスライドすることによって前記流出窓を開閉するシャッターと、を含むことを特徴とする、遊技媒体用容器である。 Invention according to claim 1, a game medium for a container for housing the game media, the upper surface is opened, and the container body capable of accommodating a game medium therein, the lower side surface of the container body A game medium comprising: an outflow window formed to allow the game medium in the container body to flow out; and a shutter that opens and closes the outflow window by sliding along a side surface of the container body. It is a container.

請求項１記載の発明によれば、遊技媒体用容器の容器本体は、上面が開放され、内部に遊技媒体を収容することができる。容器本体の側面下部には、容器本体内の遊技媒体を流出させるための流出窓が形成されていて、シャッターが、容器本体側面に沿ってスライドすることによって流出窓を開閉する。
この場合、シャッターが容器本体側面に沿って略垂直に延びていることから、シャッターには容器本体内の遊技媒体の重力が作用しにくいので、シャッターの円滑な開閉が可能である。 According to the first aspect of the present invention, the upper surface of the container body of the game medium container is open , and the game medium can be accommodated therein. An outflow window for allowing the game medium in the container main body to flow out is formed at the lower side of the container main body, and the shutter opens and closes by sliding along the side of the container main body.
In this case, since the shutter extends substantially vertically along the side surface of the container body, the gravity of the game medium in the container body hardly acts on the shutter, so that the shutter can be smoothly opened and closed.
