[Prior art]

 In the box of the throttle machine, there is provided a coin collecting hopper for receiving and collecting coins flowing down from the chute of the coin storing hopper, and a wire is wound in a coil shape at a bottom opening of the coin collecting hopper. A rotatable bellows tube is provided, and the lower end of the bellows tube is configured to face a coin collection conveyor disposed below through an oval cutout hole formed in the box bottom plate.

However, since the cutout hole is set at a predetermined position in advance to form a punching line, the insertion hole of the bellows tube is punched out using a hammer or the like. In some cases, the position does not match the insertion position of the bellows tube. For this reason, it is necessary to correct the notch hole using a tool to determine the position.

In addition, in the above-described structure for supporting a bellows tube, since the bellows tube is supported between the long sides of the elliptical cutout holes, the bellows tube swings in the cutout hole and the support is not possible. When the coins flow in from the coin collection hopper and move up and down by their weight, the gap between the coin collection hopper and the coin collection conveyor becomes small and the flow becomes worse. However, there is a problem in that the coin is stuck in the gap between the short side of the notch hole and the bellows tube and presses the bellows tube, so that the coin does not flow down and accumulates in the bellows tube and cannot be transferred to the collection conveyor. Was.
