Description

  The present invention includes a coin holding portion having a groove shape on the tray surface side, and a plurality of coins are stacked in a direction in which the thickness direction of the coin is along the length direction of the coin holding portion. The present invention relates to a coin tray that is stored and held in a holding section, and an improvement of a hand-held safe that includes the coin tray.

  A tray or case having a groove for storing and holding a plurality of coins in a stacked manner is used as a coin counting instrument or as a coin case for a tray of a hand-held safe or a cash register. (See Patent Document 1)

However, the diameter of coins varies depending on the amount of money. In these conventional trays, etc., the groove is formed in a semicircular arc shape substantially following the outer diameter of the coin, and the lower half of the coin is the inner wall of the groove. Therefore, a groove corresponding to the type of coin is required. If such a tray can be made relatively large, a coin tray that typically functions as a middle lid in a hand-held safe, even if it is not unreasonable to prepare a holding groove for each type of coin. When the size is restricted as in the above, it is difficult to align such grooves for each type of coins, and even if they are aligned, it is difficult to properly lay them out.
JP 2003-337980 A

  The main problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in this type of coin tray and a hand-held safe comprising the same, a plurality of types of coin holders are required without preparing a groove-shaped coin holding portion for each type of coin. It is to be able to store and hold coins efficiently and appropriately.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a coin tray is configured such that a plurality of coins can be aligned and stored in a direction in which the thickness direction of the coins is aligned with the length direction of the groove. A plurality of coins can be aligned and stored in a stacked manner in a direction that follows the length direction of the coin main holding groove and along the thickness direction of the coin along the length direction of the groove at the bottom of the main holding groove. One or two or more coin holding parts configured to include a coin sub-holding groove,
In the cross section along the width direction of the coin sub-holding groove, the groove bottom and both groove walls are substantially positioned on the arc of the first virtual circle having a diameter substantially equal to one of the two kinds of coins having different diameters . And
The coin main holding groove has a second virtual circle having a diameter larger than that of the first virtual circle having a diameter substantially equal to the other diameter of the two kinds of coins having different diameters in the cross-section along the width direction. It is assumed that it is positioned approximately on the arc.

In such a coin tray, two types of coins having different diameters can be stored and held in one coin holding portion. That is, when holding a coin that is substantially equal to the second virtual circle, the coin main holding groove is used to insert the coin in the direction along the thickness direction of the coin along the length direction of the coin main holding groove. By inserting, a plurality of such coins can be aligned and stored in a superposed manner over the length direction of the coin holding portion. At this time, the coin is supported so that both sides of the coin are sandwiched between both groove walls of the coin main holding groove, and a gap is opened between the lower end of the coin and the groove bottom of the coin sub holding groove. . On the other hand, when holding a coin substantially equal to the first virtual circle, by inserting the coin into the coin sub-holding groove in the direction along the thickness direction of the coin along the length direction of the coin sub-holding groove. A plurality of such coins can be aligned and stored in a stacked manner over the length direction of the coin holding portion. At this time, the coin has its lower end side in contact with the groove bottom and both groove walls of the coin sub-holding groove, and its upper end side protrudes upward from the groove bottom of the coin main holding groove, thereby holding the coin main It is supported on the groove bottom side of the groove.

The coin tray has a first coin holding part, a second coin holding part, and a third coin holding part,
In the first coin holding part, the first virtual circle is a circle having a diameter of 50 yen coins, and the second virtual circle is a circle having a diameter of 500 yen coins,
In the second coin holding unit, the first virtual circle is a circle having a diameter of 1 yen coin, and the second virtual circle is a circle having a diameter of 100 yen coin,
In the third coin holding unit, the first virtual circle is a circle having a diameter of a 5-yen coin, and the second virtual circle is a circle having a diameter of a 10-yen coin. Sometimes.

  Such 1-yen, 5-yen, 10-yen, 50-yen, 100-yen, and 500-yen coins are circular coins issued by Japan and currently in circulation in Japan. Among these coins, there is little difference in thickness between 50 yen coins and 500 yen coins, and there is little difference in thickness between 1 yen coins and 100 yen coins. Since the difference is small, in this case, it is difficult for the number of stored sheets to be different between when a small diameter coin is stored in one coin holding part and when a large diameter coin is stored. Can do. This facilitates counting of coins. Also, among the coins currently in circulation in Japan, coins of 10 yen, 100 yen, and 500 yen are used frequently, so that the coin holding part is not used between these three types of coins. As many coins as frequently used can be stored in the coin tray as much as possible.

  On the tray back surface side, a stand member assembled so as to be rotatable between a first position in which a free end is separated from the tray back surface and a second position in which the free end is in contact with or close to the tray back surface. Sometimes it is prepared.

  In this case, in addition to the setting in which the tray surface of the coin tray is positioned substantially horizontally, the coin is set so that the rotating assembly side of the stand member is inclined upward by positioning the stand member in the first position. It is possible to set the coin tray with the tray surface side of the tray being inclined, and the coin tray can be used in a mode in which coins can be easily taken in and out.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a hand-held safe,
A main body having an opening on the top surface, a lid for opening and closing the opening of the main body, and the coin tray;
This coin tray is formed with a stepped surface facing downwards that is caught by the opening of the main body on the outer periphery thereof, and is combined with the main body so that the bottom of the stepped surface is accommodated in the main body. It was supposed to be.

  In such a hand-held safe, since the coin tray is provided, it is possible to efficiently store and hold banknotes in the main body and a plurality of coins in the coin tray in a limited space. .

  In the opened state, the stand member of the coin tray is positioned at the first position, so that the free end of the stand member is brought into contact with the inner surface of the lid on the side of the rotational assembly with the main body, and the stand member rotates. It is also possible to use a coin tray set on the opening of the main body in a state where the side assembled as possible is obliquely upward.

  In the coin tray according to the present invention, it can be used to store and hold only one of two types of coins in one coin holding portion, and these coins can be used as part of one coin holding portion. One of the coins can be used to store and hold the other of these coins in the remaining part of the one coin holding part, and even if the space on the tray surface cannot be secured widely, Can be stored and held efficiently and appropriately.

  In the hand-held safe according to the present invention, the coin tray can function as an inner lid in the hand-held safe and the space on the tray surface of the coin tray cannot be secured widely. It is also possible to store and hold a plurality of types of coins efficiently and appropriately in the hand-held safe.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  1 to 7 show the coin tray 1 according to the embodiment, and FIGS. 8 to 11 show a hand-held safe M configured to include the coin tray 1. Each is shown. (In FIGS. 4-7, description of the stand member 107 which comprises the coin tray 1 is abbreviate | omitted.)

  The coin tray 1 according to this embodiment includes a groove-shaped coin holding portion 103 on the tray surface 100 side, and the thickness direction of the coin Cn extends along the length direction of the coin holding portion 103. In this direction, a plurality of coins Cn are stored and held in the coin Cn holding unit 103 in an overlapping manner. Further, the hand-held safe M according to this embodiment is configured to include such a coin tray 1. In the main body 2 in which the coin Cn is mainly combined with the coin tray 1, and the banknote is mainly combined with the coin tray 1. , Used for storage.

(Coin tray 1)
The coin tray 1 includes one or two or more coin holders 103 on the tray surface 100 side. The coin holding unit 103 includes a coin main holding groove 103a and a coin sub holding groove 103b. The coin sub-holding groove 103b is formed at the groove bottom of the coin main holding groove 103a so as to continue along the length direction of the coin main holding groove 103a.

  Further, the coin sub-holding groove 103b has its groove bottom and both groove walls substantially positioned on the arc of the first virtual circle r1 in the cross section along the width direction, and the coin main holding groove 103a has its In the cross section along the width direction, both the groove walls are substantially positioned on the arc of the second virtual circle r2 having a diameter larger than that of the first virtual circle r1. (Fig. 7)

  In the illustrated example, the coin tray 1 is configured to have a substantially rectangular outer shape in plan view. On the tray surface 100 side of the coin tray 1, rising portions 104 are formed at the respective side portions 102 so as to protrude upward over the respective side portions 102. Further, a flange portion 105 protruding outward is formed on the protruding end side of the rising portion 104 and on the outside thereof, and the coin tray 1 has a step surface 105a facing downward by the flange portion 105. It is like that.

  In the illustrated example, the coin holding portion 103 is configured to be long in the width direction of the coin tray 1 and to have a groove shape that is recessed from the tray surface 100 side of the coin tray 1. An end surface 103 c that is parallel to the length side portion 102 a along the length direction of the coin tray 1 is formed at the end of the coin holding portion 103. In the illustrated example, the first coin holding portion 1031 is formed at a position close to one of the width side portions 102b along the width direction of the coin tray 1, and the length direction of the coin tray 1 is approximately in the middle. A third coin holding portion 1033 is formed at the approximate position, and a second coin holding portion 1032 is formed between the first coin holding portion 1031 and the third coin holding portion 1033. In addition, a free storage recess 106 is formed between the other side of the width side portion 102b of the coin tray 1 and the third coin holding portion 1033 and has a substantially rectangular recess shape in plan view that is long in the width direction of the coin tray 1. Is formed. A groove 106a extending in the length direction of the free storage recess 106 is formed at a position approximately in the middle of the free storage recess 106 in the width direction. When a mail ticket, a certificate, a seal, or the like is placed in the free storage recess 106 In addition, it is possible to easily grasp the mail ticket or the like with the fingertip by using the groove 106a.

In such a coin tray 1, two types of coins Cn having different diameters can be stored and held in one coin holding unit 103. That is, when the coin Cn substantially equal to the second virtual circle r2 is held, the direction in which the thickness direction of the coin Cn extends along the length direction of the coin main holding groove 103a using the coin main holding groove 103a. By inserting such coins Cn, a plurality of such coins Cn can be aligned and stored in a superposed manner over the length direction of the coin holding part 103. At this time, the coin Cn is supported so that both sides of the coin Cn are sandwiched between both groove walls of the coin main holding groove 103a, and there is a gap between the lower end of the coin Cn and the groove bottom of the coin sub holding groove 103b. Opened. On the other hand, when the coin Cn substantially equal to the first virtual circle r1 is held, the coin is applied to the coin sub-holding groove 103b in the direction along the thickness direction of the coin Cn in the length direction of the coin sub-holding groove 103b. By inserting Cn, a plurality of such coins Cn can be aligned and stored in a stacked manner over the length direction of the coin holding part 103. At this time, the coin Cn has its lower end in contact with the groove bottom and both groove walls of the coin sub-holding groove 103b, and its upper end protrudes upward from the groove bottom of the coin main holding groove 103a. It is supported on the groove bottom side of the coin main holding groove 103a.

In the illustrated example, in the first coin holding unit 1031, the first virtual circle r1 is a circle having a diameter of 50 yen coin Cn, and the second virtual circle r2 is a diameter of 500 yen coin Cn. It is considered as a circle with
In the second coin holding unit 1032, the first virtual circle r 1 is a circle having a diameter of 1-yen coin Cn, and the second virtual circle r 2 is a circle having a diameter of 100-yen coin Cn. Has been
In the third coin holding part 1033, the first virtual circle r1 is a circle having a diameter of a 5-yen coin Cn, and the second virtual circle r2 is a circle having a diameter of a 10-yen coin Cn. Has been. (See FIG. 1 and FIG. 7 / In FIG. 7, the first virtual circle r1 and the second virtual circle r2 are shown only for the first coin holding portion 1031.)

  Such 1-yen, 5-yen, 10-yen, 50-yen, 100-yen, and 500-yen coins Cn are circular coins Cn issued by Japan and currently in circulation in Japan. Among these coins Cn, the difference in thickness between the 50 yen coin Cn and the 500 yen coin Cn is small, and the difference between the 1 yen coin Cn and the 100 yen coin Cn is small, and the 5 yen coin Cn and 10 yen. Since the difference in thickness between the coin Cn and the coin Cn is small, in this case, the coin Cn with a small diameter is accommodated in one coin holding part 103 and the coin Cn with a large diameter is accommodated. It is possible to make it difficult to accommodate different numbers of sheets. This facilitates counting of coins Cn. Also, among the coins Cn currently distributed in Japan, the coins Cn of 10 yen, 100 yen, and 500 yen are frequently used, so that the coin holding unit 103 is not used between these three types of coins Cn. By doing so, as many coins Cn as frequently used can be stored in the coin tray 1 as much as possible.

  In the case shown in the figure, in one coin tray 1 having three coin holding portions 103, three kinds of coins Cn can be held in the maximum quantity, and if it is not the maximum quantity, the six kinds of coins Cn are respectively appropriate. Can be held. The coin holder 103 may be provided at two places on the coin tray 1 or may be provided at three or more places. In addition, a plurality of types of the first coin holding unit 1031 to the third coin holding unit 1033 may be provided, or a plurality of these two types or more may be provided. The target coin Cn is not limited to the coin Cn currently distributed in Japan. That is, the coin tray 1 included in the inventive concept of the present invention is capable of holding two types of coins Cn having different diameters in one coin holding portion 103.

  In the illustrated example, each coin holding portion 103 is substantially equally divided into four in the length direction by three U-shaped partition plates 103d. Ten coins Cn are placed in an overlapping manner in a partition between the partition plates 103d close to the section and a partition between the adjacent partition plates 103d. This makes it easier to count and take out coins Cn.

  Further, in the example shown in the drawing, the coin secondary portion is formed on the end surface 103c at one end of the second coin retaining portion 1032 and the one surface side of the three partition plates 103d from the bottom of the coin subsidiary retaining groove 103b. A raised raised portion 103e having a height extending to about one third of the depth of the holding groove 103b and a thickness corresponding to the thickness of the one-yen coin Cn is formed. This is because the size of 10 coins of 100 yen coins superimposed is approximately equal to the size of 11 coins of 1 yen coin Cn, and in this section of the second coin holder 1032 by this raised ridge 103e. This is a consideration for facilitating the counting so that only ten 1-yen coins Cn are stored in the coin sub-holding groove 103b.

  Further, in this embodiment, on the tray back surface 101 side of the coin tray 1, the first position where the free end 107 a is moved away from the tray back surface 101 (position indicated by an imaginary line in FIG. 2) and this The stand member 107 is assembled so as to be rotatable between a second position (a position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 2) in which the free end 107a is in contact with or close to the back surface 101 of the tray.

  In the illustrated example, the stand member 107 is rotatably attached to the tray back surface 101 portion of the coin tray 1 on one side of the length side portion 102 a of the coin tray 1. In the illustrated example, the stand member 107 has a support bar portion 107b that is long in the length direction of the coin tray 1, and one end thereof is integrally connected to both ends of the support bar portion 107b. And an arm rod portion 107c protruding in a substantially orthogonal direction. The support bar portion 107 b becomes the free end 107 a of the stand member 107. The end of the arm rod portion 107c is bent at a right angle toward the other arm rod portion 107c, and the bent end 107d functions as a rotation shaft. That is, in the illustrated example, the inner side of the corner between the one side of the length side portion 102a and the width side portion 102b of the coin tray 1 on the tray rear surface 101 side. Each of them is provided with a bearing portion 108 provided with a shaft hole 108 a in a bent end 107 d of the stand member 107. The distance between the outer surfaces of the pair of bearing portions 108 and 108 is substantially equal to the pitch between the pair of arm rod portions 107c and 107c, and the stand member 107 is elastically deformed so as to slightly widen the pitch between the pair of arm rod portions 107c and 107c. In this state, by inserting bent ends 107d corresponding to the shaft holes 108a of the respective bearing portions 108, the stand member 107 can be rotated as described above around the shaft holes 108a. In the illustrated example, when the stand member 107 is in the second position, the stand member 107 is accommodated in the outline of the coin tray 1 when viewed from the bottom, and the side portion of the length of the tray back surface 101 is long. On the inner side of the corner between the other side of 102a and one of the width side portions 102b, there is an elastic engagement piece 109 for hooking the claw portion 109a from below onto the arm rod portion 107c on the free end 107a side of the stand member 107 in this second position. Is provided. The stand member 107 in the second position can be rotated to the first position by elastically deforming the elastic engagement piece 109 so as to release the catch of the claw 109a. A restriction wall 110 is formed between the bearing part 108 and one of the length side parts 102a, and the stand member 107 rotates from the second position to a position where the arm bar part 107c abuts against the restriction wall 110. The operation can be performed, and the abutting position is set to the first position. In the illustrated example, the stand member 107 is rotated within a range of approximately 90 degrees.

  As a result, in this embodiment, in addition to the setting in which the tray surface 100 of the coin tray 1 is positioned substantially horizontally, the stand member 107 is positioned at the first position, so that the rotation of the stand member 107 is assembled. Setting of the coin tray 1 is possible with the tray surface 100 side of the coin tray 1 inclined so that the side (one side of the length side portion 102a of the coin tray 1 in the illustrated example) is obliquely upward. Thus, the coin tray 1 can be used in a mode in which the coin Cn can be easily taken in and out.
