The case 2 of the gum extracting device 1 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and a gum discharge port 3 is formed at the lower front portion of the peripheral wall (side wall), and a shaft hole 4 is formed at the front middle portion of the peripheral wall. The case 2 includes a drop restricting member 5 at an intermediate position in the vertical direction. A bearing hole 6 is formed at the center of the drop regulating member 5. The shaft 11b of the rotating plate 10 is inserted into the bearing hole 6 as will be described later. An annular rib 7 is formed upward on the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the drop regulating member 5. The annular rib 7 is for guiding the rotation of the rotating plate 10, and the annular rib 7 is inserted into the annular recess 13 of the rotating plate 10 as will be described later. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a gum drop port 8 slightly larger than the gum 40 is formed in a part (predetermined drop position) of the drop regulating member 5. Further, three-stage annular ribs 9a, 9b, 9c are formed inward on the upper edge of the inner surface of the case 2.
As shown in FIG. 2, the case 2 is formed by a front frame and a rear frame that are divided into two by a surface including an axis. The front frame and the rear frame are coupled to each other by screws, an adhesive, and the like after accommodating internal components to be described later. In addition, the meniscus-shaped half part of the fall control member 5 is attached to the front frame and the rear frame, respectively. When the front frame and the rear frame are joined to each other, the half meniscus halves are joined together to form the drop restricting member 5, and the bearing hole 6 is formed at the center.

The rotary plate 10 is provided with shafts 11a and 11b extending up and down at the center. An annular rack 12 is formed on the periphery of the upper surface of the rotating plate 10. On the other hand, an annular recess 13 into which the annular rib 7 of the drop regulating member 5 is inserted is formed on the lower surface of the rotating plate 10. In addition, three gum capturing holes 14 slightly larger than the shape of the gum 40 are formed in the rotating plate 10 at equal intervals.
The rotating plate 10 is rotated by the drop restricting member 5 with a shaft 11 b extending downward inserted into the bearing hole 6 of the drop restricting member 5 and the annular rib 7 of the drop restricting member 5 inserted into the annular recess 13. Supported as possible.

  A shaft 16 of the handle 15 is inserted from the outside into the shaft hole 4 formed in the peripheral wall of the case 2, and a pinion 17 is fixedly provided at the tip of the shaft 16. The pinion 17 is meshed with the annular rack 12 of the rotating plate 10. As a result, when the handle 15 is rotated, the annular rack 12 is rotated.

A cylindrical tube 18 is disposed in the case 2. The cylindrical body 18 is formed with an outward flange 19 on the outer periphery of the upper end. A cover member 200 that extends to the axial center of the cylinder 18 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 18.
The cover member 200 is disposed above the rotating plate 10 to cover the predetermined dropping position, and the gum 40 accommodated in the gum capturing hole 14 is guided to the predetermined dropping position when the rotating plate 10 rotates. And prevents the other gum 40 from being guided to a predetermined dropping position. The cover member 200 includes a guide member 20 and an elastic piece 21. The guide member 20 has a substantially tongue-like shape when viewed from above and has an area larger than the size of the gum 40. The upper surface of the guide member 20 has a downward slope toward the axis of the cylindrical body 18. Since the upper surface of the guide member 20 has a downward slope, the gum 40 riding on the upper surface of the guide member 20 slides and is effectively supplied onto the rotating plate 10. Elastic pieces 21 made of rubber or the like are provided in a suspended state on both side surfaces of the guide member 20, and the lower ends of the elastic pieces 21 are in contact with the rotating plate 10. A column body 22 is suspended downward from the lower surface of the distal end of the guide member 20. A bearing hole 23 is formed at a lower end surface of the column body 22 and corresponding to the axial center of the cylindrical body 18.
The flange 18 of the cylindrical body 18 is supported by the inwardly facing lower annular rib 9 c of the case 2, and the shaft 11 a of the rotating plate 10 is inserted into the bearing hole 23 of the column body 22.

An adapter 24 is detachably attached to the upper end side of the case 2. The adapter 24 is for attaching the opening end of the bottle body 41 of commercially available bottle gum to the opening of the case 2. The adapter 24 has a flange 25 on the outer peripheral surface at the lower end. The Allange 25 is inserted between the upper annular rib 9a and the middle annular rib 9b, and is supported by the middle annular rib 9b of the case 2. On the inner peripheral surface of the adapter 24, there is a locking portion 26 having a shape corresponding to the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the opening of the bottle body 41, for example, an annular protrusion, a screw or the like. An opening end of the bottle main body 41 is attached to the locking portion 26, that is, fitted or screwed.
