[Prior art and its problems]

 As a conventional coin storage container, there is known one in which a predetermined number of coins are taken out from the lower part of a cylindrical storage container. Although this storage container is provided at a sales counter for various tickets, it cannot be used for carrying. In addition, it is known that one used in a vehicle or the like is such that a bottom plate of a cylindrical storage container is moved and biased upward by a spring, and a coin is sandwiched between the bottom plate and the upper wall of the storage container. It required a spring and a movable bottom plate, making it unsuitable as a simple coin storage container.

[0003]

[The purpose of the device]

 It is an object of the present invention to provide a coin storage container which has a simple structure with no moving parts, is suitable for carrying, and can hold coins of the same diameter in and out easily.

[0004]

[Outline of the device]

 The coin storage container of the present invention comprises a bottom plate that comes into contact with one surface of a coin to be stored; a pair of support walls that stand upright from radially opposed portions of the bottom plate; and an inner wall of at least one of the pair of support walls. And a friction member that makes frictional contact with the peripheral portion of the coins stacked on the bottom plate. According to this coin storage container, when a coin is inserted between the pair of support walls and stacked on the bottom plate, the coin can be held between the bottom plate and the pair of support walls by the frictional contact force with the friction member. .

In this coin storage container, the pair of support walls can be replaced with upright substantially semi-cylindrical support walls excluding the coin insertion / removal portion. That is, one of the pair of gaps between the pair of support walls is closed to form a semi-cylindrical support wall. Then, on the inner wall of the semi-cylindrical supporting wall, a pair of friction members, which are located at positions facing each other in the radial direction and are in frictional contact with the peripheral portion of the coins stacked on the bottom plate, are provided. With this configuration, when inserting the coin, the maximum insertion position is regulated by the semi-cylindrical support wall, so that the coin is easily inserted. The semi-cylindrical support wall may be an incomplete wall having a hole or a cutout as long as it can regulate the insertion position of the coin.

In any case, the friction member is composed of foamed rubber, foamed resin, rubber, elastic resin, a liquid enclosure filled with a liquid in the internal space, a gas enclosure filled with a gas in the internal space, or the like. be able to.

When a semi-cylindrical support wall is used, the pair of friction members are located closer to the coin insertion / removal part than the plane center of the coin placed on the bottom plate with its peripheral edge contacting the cylindrical support wall. It is preferable to provide it eccentrically. It is possible to more easily and surely prevent the coin from falling off.

Further, in the coin storage container of the present invention, the bottom plate, the support wall and the friction member can be integrally formed from the same resin material by selecting a resin material having appropriate elasticity.

[Example of device]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The coin storage container 10 of the present invention has a substantially circular bottom plate 11 and a substantially semi-cylindrical support wall 12 standing upright from the bottom plate 11. The inner diameters of the bottom plate 11 and the support wall 12 are formed to be slightly larger than the coins according to the outer diameters of the coins to be stored. The height of the support wall 12 is determined according to the number of coins to be stacked and stored. In the embodiment, it is assumed that a maximum of nine 1-yen coins are stacked and stored.

The defective portion of the support wall 12 is a coin insertion / removal opening 13, and the support wall 12 constitutes a friction member holding portion 12 a on both sides of the coin insertion / removal opening 13 which is thicker than other portions. are doing. A longitudinal friction member holding groove 14 is formed on the inner surface of each of the left and right friction member holding portions 12a, and a foam rubber 15 as a friction member is bonded and fixed to the friction member holding groove 14. The foamed rubber 15 makes frictional contact with the peripheral portion of the coin 20 stacked and placed on the bottom plate 11, and has the function of holding the coin 20 in the container constituted by the bottom plate 11 and the supporting wall 12.

The friction member can be made of foamed resin 15, rubber, elastic resin, a liquid enclosure in which a liquid is enclosed in the internal space, a gas enclosure in which a gas is enclosed in the internal space, etc., in addition to the foamed rubber 15. . What is important as a friction member is to properly select the amount of protrusion of the inserted coin 20 into the support wall 12 as well as the material thereof so that the coin 20 does not drop out and is easily inserted and removed. Further, in this embodiment, in order to hold the coin 20 more reliably, the foamed rubber 15 is located closer to the coin insertion / removal opening 13 side than the planar center O of the coin 20 placed on the bottom plate 11. Is eccentrically provided (see FIG. 3).

When the coin 20 is inserted into the support wall 12 from the coin insertion / removal opening 13 and placed on the bottom plate 11, the peripheral edge of the coin 20 makes frictional contact with the foam rubber 15 in the coin storage container 10 having the above-described configuration. Is held in the coin storage container 10 by the frictional contact force. Even when a plurality of coins 20 are stacked and inserted, similarly, the coins 20 are held in the coin storage container 10 by the frictional force with the foam rubber 15. When removing the inserted coin 20, the sliding force may be applied to the topmost coin 20. The lower coin 20 is still held in the coin storage container 10 by the frictional force with the foam rubber 15. When you want to take out multiple sheets, take them out from the top.

According to the above embodiment, when the coin 20 is inserted into the coin storage container 10, there is an advantage that the insertion position of the coin 20 can be regulated by the support wall 12. This advantage can be obtained even if the supporting wall 12 is not a complete wall and appropriate holes and gaps are provided. Therefore, the supporting wall 12 may be provided with a decorative hole or the like.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which is a more principled embodiment. In this embodiment, a pair of support walls 16 are erected upright at the radially opposite positions of the bottom plate 11, and the foam rubber 15 is provided on the inner surface of the support walls 16. In this embodiment, the pair of gaps between the pair of support walls 16 serve as coin insertion / removal openings 13, respectively. That is, in this embodiment, the pair of coin insertion / removal openings 13 is formed between the pair of support walls 16, and the coin 20 can be inserted / removed through either of the coin insertion / removal openings 13. In this embodiment, the effect of the first embodiment of restricting the insertion position of the coin 20 by the support wall 12 cannot be obtained, but conversely, there is an advantage that the insertion / removal direction is not selected. In this embodiment, by devising the shape of the support wall 16, even if the foam rubber 15 is provided on only one of the pair of support walls 16, the holding action of the coin 20 can be obtained. Alternatively, the pair of foam rubbers 15 may be made of different materials, and one of them may be made harder (softer) than the other. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a curved surface 15a corresponding to the coin 20 can be formed on the foamed rubber 15 to enhance the holding force. Also, the coin 20 can be taken in and out from above.

In the above embodiments, the bottom plate 11 and the support wall 12 or the bottom plate 11 and the support wall 16 are integrally molded of a resin material, and the separately formed foamed rubber 15 is bonded to the support wall 12 or the support wall 16. However, by selecting a resin material having an appropriate elasticity, it is possible to integrally mold the bottom plate 11, the support wall 12 (support wall 16) and the foam rubber 15 from the same resin material. In this case, another reinforcing material may be embedded in the bottom plate 11 and the support wall 12 (support wall 16).

The coin storage container 10 of the present invention can be used by being carried, as well as being fixedly placed in a driver's seat of a vehicle.
