FIG. 8 is a front view showing a state where the lid of the collection box is closed and locked with a key.

Next, the structure of the coin collecting box 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the coin rotation run-in table 11 has a coin insertion slot 11a at an upper portion thereof and a ramp 11b extending downward from the entrance. FIG. 6 is a detailed view of the coin. As shown in FIG. 6 (c), the coin 10 entering from the hardening slot 11a falls while rotating, and jumps out of the outlet 11c. There are a plurality of the coin rotation runners 11 and two in this embodiment. Next, the hardening spiral rotating circuit 12 includes an inclined surface 12a which is gradually inclined downward from the outer peripheral edge 12d toward the center, and a discharge port 12b at the center of which the coin 10 stopped rotating is dropped. In addition, there is a curing conduction tube 12c below the outlet 12b. The coin 10 is stored in a collecting port 20d of the collecting safe 20 described later. A transparent dome 13 is provided on the coin spiral rotating circuit 12.

The above-described coin rotation run-in table 11 is attached to an outer peripheral edge 12 d of the coin spiral rotation circuit 12. FIG. 5 shows a detailed view of the mounting portion in this case.

As shown in FIG. 5, the rotating coin 10 that has jumped out of the exit 11c of the coin rotating run stand 11 needs to be perpendicular to the inclined surface 12a. In addition, the rotating coin 10 is ejected in the circumferential direction, and is attached as such. There is a display stand 15 on the connecting portion 11d of the two coin rotating runners 11 thus attached, and a display board 16 can be set up there.

On the other hand, below the coin spiral rotating circuit 12, there is a body 14 for supporting and fixing the coin spiral rotating circuit 12 and installing it on a floor or a road at a place where people gather. As shown in FIG. 3, a height adjusting screw 14d for adjusting unevenness on a floor surface or a road to be installed is provided at the bottom of the body 14.

As shown in FIG. 3, inside the body 14, there are a collection box opening mechanism 14a and a storage door (with a key) 14b for entering and exiting the collection box.

Here, in the state of the collection safe 20 not attached to the body 14, the collection port 20d is in a closed state. This state is shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the upper cover 20f opened and viewed from the inside. The collection port 20d on the outside of the collection box and the collection port 20d 'on the inside are not opened because they are shifted in a natural state by the spring 20e. When the upper lid 20f is closed on the coin storage portion 20g, if the metal plate 20h is pushed toward the inner center side from the gap 20i, the spring 20e is extended, and the collecting holes are opened by aligning the collecting holes 20d and 20d '. it can.

When the collecting box 20 is installed as shown in FIG. 3, the sliding opening projection plate 14a as the collecting box mounting opening mechanism on the body 14 pushes the above-mentioned metal plate 20h and the collecting hole 20d is formed. Opening coincides with 20d '.

The position of the opening 20d is set immediately below the outlet 12d in advance. Accordingly, the coin 10 passes through the hardening conduction cylinder 12c and enters the storage portion 20g from the collection port 20d.

As shown in FIG. 8, the collection box 20 is attached to the inside of the body 14 by applying a key 19 provided in a bank to a key hole 20b of an upper cover 20f through a key projection 20c provided in a storage portion 20g. I have. When this is taken out, the collection port is automatically closed by the spring 20e. In this state, the collection port is taken to the bank, where it is opened with the key 19 and put into a deposit account for donation.

Next, the operation of the coin 10 will be described. The coin inserted from the insertion port 11a rotates while falling on the ramp 11b and reaches the exit 11c in a vertically upright state. Here, the protruding direction is the circumferential direction, and is perpendicular to the inclined surface 12a, so that the rotating coin 10 falls while rotating spirally on the inclined surface 12a without falling down. The spiral trajectory 10a of the coin is shown in FIG. Finally, it reaches the central outlet 12b, falls, and enters the collection box.

In order to extend the enjoyment and the fun as much as possible, it is, of course, better to lengthen the time from the input to the drop to the outlet.

Therefore, the present invention is directed to a tilt angle change in which the descent angle is gradually reduced, and then the descent angle is steep near the height between the outer peripheral edge 12 d of the inclined surface 12 a and the intermediate portion of the discharge port 12 b. A range 12e was provided.

The structure is shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. In this way, the rotation speed, that is, the traveling speed of the spiral track 10a decreases in the middle of the inclined surface 12a, and the centrifugal force decreases. Even if the force of falling inward increases, the inclination angle decreases, and coins are lost. It travels a longer spiral path as it receives the force returning in the vertical direction.

Here, before the running speed is further reduced and the coin 10 falls down, the coin 10 is caused to rush into a portion where the inclination angle is steep, and the running speed is increased to further spirally rotate.

Thus, the coin can be spirally rotated for several tens of seconds.

In the embodiment, the outer peripheral edge 12d of the coin spiral rotating circuit 12 has a circular shape, but it may be an elliptical circumferential shape. Further, the track may have a track shape in which two semicircles are connected by straight lines. In this way, when a plurality of people simultaneously insert coins 10 from different slots 11a, the coins 10 appear to be competing on the track, and the fund-raising effect increases.

[0030] A protrusion may be provided on the inclined surface 12a. The coin 10 colliding with the coin falls and falls immediately to the central outlet 12b. This leads to an improvement in the fundraising effect.

The dropped coin 10 passes through the coin conducting cylinder 12c, and one of the plurality of movable pieces installed here moves, and the detection means detects the movement to operate the audio device for a predetermined time. You may do so.

In addition, different music pieces or the like may be operated for a predetermined time by separately detecting a plurality of movable pieces.

In the perspective view of FIG. 1, the front or side of the body 14 may be used as a display panel.
