Description

Detailed description of the invention

  The present invention relates to a coin tray (hereinafter referred to as a tray) used when a coin (coin) is exchanged at a bank or a general store.

At store cashiers that repeatedly give and receive coins with different amounts, coin recipients facing each other across a table, etc. spread the coins on a tray placed on the table, and after confirming the accumulation in both exchanges, the receiving side accepts the coins on the tray. get. There are the following types of trays to be used. (Example 1) A tray made of metal and having a smooth upper surface. (Example 2) A tray in which a lawn-like mat is provided on the upper surface of the tray in order to facilitate picking out coins on the tray with a fingertip, or a tray in which an elastic thin plate mat having hard and fine protrusions is provided on the upper surface of the tray (Patent Document 1). (Example 3) A dish-shaped tray having a shallow concave bottom with a lenticular curve is connected to the side surface of a quadrangular tray, or a coin-acquisition container opened in an elliptical shape with the short axis as the side surface is connected to the elliptical opening. A tray for taking out coins in the short axis direction (the opposite direction of the square tray). (Example 5) A substantially V-shaped coin container attached to an ATM or a similar container alone is used.

Problems that the device tries to solve

  In the case of the smooth top surface of the tray described above (Example 1), movement such as collection and delivery for coin accumulation confirmation can be easily performed using the fingertip on the tray, but it is difficult to grab the coin with the fingertip when taking out, and it takes time to acquire it. .

  When the mat is provided on the upper surface of the tray in the above (Example 2), it is easy to pin the coins with the fingertips, or the coins are difficult to move such as grouping for coin accumulation, and the coins are taken out one by one. Both cases need to be done and take time.

  In the case of the dish-shaped tray connection described above (Example 3), it takes time to acquire coins as in the previous example, because the circular outer peripheral wall of the tray, the inclined surface of the bottom of the tray, etc. are not suitable for collecting coins. In addition, in the case of connecting an elliptic container, it is not preferable that both of the opposing containers acquire coins in the same direction from the same place even if both of them acquire coins.

  In the above (Example 5), coins can be easily overlapped and taken out in the tray container, but coins cannot be accumulated before acquisition.

Means for solving the problem

  The coin transfer tray is a different coin take-out slot from which coins can be acquired from either side by both the tray for expanding and confirming the coin (hereinafter referred to as “confirmation tray”) and the coin transfer tray. An integrated tray formed by connecting two types of “acquisition tray” having left and right sides, and a tray that enables easy and quick coin transfer.

  That is, the upper surface of the “confirmation tray” is made of a hard material (metal or resin, etc.) that is easy to move coins, and is substantially flat and has a size for moving and collecting for coin accumulation. Is provided with concavities and convexities, so that it is easy to recognize the contact between the fingertip and each coin and the movement of the coin when moving, and reduce the unexpected movement due to the inertia of the coin.

  In the “Acquisition Tray”, all the coins on the “Confirmation Tray” that have been confirmed to be accumulated are moved, and the coins are gathered together using their hands in their own directions along a different path from either side of the exchange. A semi-circular eaves-like groove (hereinafter referred to as a U-shaped groove) is provided that enables the coins to be drawn from different coin outlets.

Effect of device

  By using this integrated tray and confirming the coin accumulation in both coin exchanges and then taking out coins from both different coin take-out ports, coins can be exchanged easily and quickly.

  The perspective view of the tray which shows embodiment of this invention   Axis A1-A2 cross-sectional view in FIG.   Axis A1-B2 cross-sectional view in FIG.

  An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  According to the present invention, the tray 1 is a tray in which an acquisition tray 3 (hereinafter referred to as tray 3) is connected and coupled to the side surface of a confirmation tray 2 (hereinafter referred to as tray 2), and a perspective view thereof is shown in FIG. The tray 2 has a quadrangular shape, and the other three periphery except for the connecting portion 2a with the tray 3 is surrounded by a coin external scattering prevention wall 2b. The connecting portion 2a, together with the outer wall toward the central axis A1-A2 in the left-right direction. A trapezoidal shape is inclined from both outer sides and narrows, and at the same time, it is inclined and lowered into a slide base shape.

  The tray 3 becomes higher (shallow) with a central axis B1-B2 perpendicular to the tray horizontal direction center axis A1-A2 shown in FIG. The groove bottom has U-shaped grooves 3a and 3b each having a gentle concave curve symmetrical to the axis B1-B2.

  The upper surface 2d of the tray 2 shown in FIG. 1 facilitates movement of the coin with the fingertip on the tray when grouping for each type for coin accumulation, conveys the movement of the coin to the fingertip, and brakes the coin movement due to inertia. In order to apply, unevenness (regular or irregular) may be provided on the hard tray surface. When coins are partially depressed from the top surface of the tray due to the unevenness, a diamond-like slope that does not hinder the movement of the coins is added.

  The upper surface 2d of the tray 2 shown in FIG. 1 has a portion 2e that inclines in the direction of the axis A1 from the ridge line 2c of the connecting portion 2a and descends (down from about several mm to about 5 mm), as shown in the D detailed view of FIG. The coins are prevented from moving to the tray 3 due to unintended movement.

  The change in the upper surface of the tray connected to the tray 3 from the tray 2 shown in FIG. 2 is inclined and lowered in the direction of the tray 3 from the connecting ridge line 2c between the tray 2 and the tray 3, and the central U-shaped groove of the tray 3 at the corner 3c. Crosses the side walls 3a and 3b.

  The U-shaped grooves 3a and 3b of the tray 3 have a structure that rises (increases) by inclining from the central portion in both external directions of the central axis B1-B2 orthogonal to the left-right central axis A1-A2 (FIG. 3). Using the fingertips and palms, a guide groove is formed that pulls the coins that fall after moving from the tray 2 and accumulates near the center of the groove and scoops them up. It moves to make it difficult to spill from both ends of the fingertip, and the groove width is set to a width suitable for inserting a fingertip and scooping a coin.

  The height h of the end face of the U-shaped groove of the tray 3 is set to a height (about 30 mm) at which the scooped-up coins can be received by the other hand (FIG. 3). However, this height is not required when there is a distance from the lower surface of the lower tray installation table or the like, such as when lifting the entire tray from the tray installation table using a different material.

  The illustrated embodiment is an example in which the tray 3 is connected and coupled to either one of the left and right sides of the tray 2 and U-shaped grooves are provided opposite to each other. A tray provided with a letter-shaped groove may be used.

  In addition to the structure shown in the figure, the coin take-out portion 3e of the tray 3 may be a curve that raises a steep angle so that the coin can be held in the hand with a fingertip or covers the coin in the opposite direction.

  A method of giving and receiving coins using the tray having the above structure will be described. First, a rough coin is spread (arranged) on the tray 2 to check the amount of money and increase / decrease the required coins. Since the coins that have moved almost accumulate in the center of the U-shaped groove, the coin holder can reach out to the coin in the U-shaped groove, pull the coins together in the near direction, and draw them to the other palm. it can. In this way, the coins can be received reliably and promptly from different coin outlets. The tray can also serve as a card cradle for card presentation.
