Japanese Patent No. 2749569 (page 3, FIG. 3, FIG. 4) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-134809 (page 3, FIGS. 5 and 6)

ところで、図９，図１０に示した従来のコイン投入ガイド部品９，およびその取付け構造は組立，取扱い性の面で次記のような問題点がある。すなわち、
（１）前記のコイン投入ガイド部品９を自動販売機に追加装備するには、自動販売機の外扉２に装着する操作パネル５として、図８の標準形操作パネルとは別に、図１０に示したねじ通し穴５ａを穿孔した専用の操作パネルを用意しておく必要がある。
（２）また、標準タイプの自動販売機に前記のコイン投入ガイド部品９を後付けするには、自動販売機の外扉２から標準形の操作パネル５（図８参照）を取り外して専用の操作パネル（図１０参照）に付替え、さらにこの専用操作パネルにコイン投入口部品６，返却レバー７を組み付ける作業を要することらか、部品の種類，部品の組み替え工数を含めた経費がコスト高となる。
（３）さらに、図９に示したコイン投入ガイド部品９を装着した状態では、その背後に位置する標準装備の部品であるコイン投入口部品６がホッパーの後壁９ｂの裏側に隠れてスリット状のコイン投入口６ａが前方から視認できず、このために利用客はコインの投入に戸惑うことがある。 Incidentally, the conventional coin insertion guide component 9 and its mounting structure shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 have the following problems in terms of assembly and handling. That is,
(1) In order to additionally equip the vending machine with the coin insertion guide component 9, the operation panel 5 to be mounted on the outer door 2 of the vending machine is shown in FIG. 10 separately from the standard operation panel of FIG. It is necessary to prepare a dedicated operation panel in which the screw through hole 5a shown is drilled.
(2) To attach the coin insertion guide component 9 to a standard type vending machine, the standard operation panel 5 (see FIG. 8) is removed from the outer door 2 of the vending machine and a dedicated operation is performed. It is necessary to replace the panel (see FIG. 10), and further to assemble the coin slot 6 and return lever 7 to this dedicated operation panel, and the cost including the type of parts and the number of parts to be reassembled is high. Become.
(3) Further, in the state where the coin insertion guide part 9 shown in FIG. 9 is mounted, the coin insertion slot part 6 which is a standard part located behind the hidden part is hidden behind the rear wall 9b of the hopper and is slit-like. The coin insertion slot 6a cannot be viewed from the front, and the user may be confused by the coin insertion.

本発明は上記の点に鑑みなされたものであり、その目的は前記課題を解決し、標準の操作パネルを共用して、該操作パネルに組み付けるコイン投入口部品に簡単な穴開け加工を施すだけでコイン投入ガイド部品の追加装備に簡単に対応できるように改良した自動販売機のコイン投入口の組立体を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the object thereof is to solve the above-mentioned problems, share a standard operation panel, and perform simple punching processing on a coin insertion slot component assembled to the operation panel. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved vending machine coin slot assembly so that it can easily cope with additional equipment for coin slot guide parts.

上記目的を達成するために、請求項１に係る発明によれば、自動販売機の外扉前面に配備したコイン投入口組立体であり、凹面を呈する板面中央にスリット状のコイン投入口が開口したコイン投入口部品を返却レバーと並置して操作パネルに取付けた上で、その前方に投入コインを受け入れて前記コイン投入口に導くホッパー形のコイン投入ガイド部品を備えたものにおいて、前記コイン投入ガイド部品の取付基部にねじ通し穴を穿孔して前記コイン投入口部品へ前方からねじ止めした上で、取付基部の前面にねじを覆い隠すカバーを被着してなり、前記コイン投入ガイド部品における取付基部の背面にはコイン投入口部品のコイン投入口に連続して設けた位置決め穴に嵌入する位置決め突起を形成したことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, according to the invention according to claim 1, the coin insertion slot assembly is provided on the front surface of the outer door of the vending machine, and a slit-shaped coin insertion slot is provided at the center of the plate surface having a concave surface. An open coin insertion slot component is mounted on the operation panel in parallel with the return lever, and is provided with a hopper-shaped coin insertion guide component that accepts the inserted coin and guides it to the coin insertion slot in front of the coin. The coin insertion guide part is formed by drilling a screw-through hole in the mounting base part of the insertion guide part and screwing the coin insertion slot part from the front, and attaching a cover that covers the screw to the front surface of the mounting base part. A positioning projection for fitting into a positioning hole provided continuously to the coin insertion slot of the coin insertion slot component is formed on the back surface of the mounting base .

上記の構成によれば、次記の効果を奏する。
（１）自動販売機の標準装備したコイン投入口部品の前方にコイン投入ガイド部品を追加装備する場合に、従来構造のように外扉に装着した操作パネルを専用の穴開きパネルに付け替えることは必要とせず、僅かに操作パネルに組み付けたコイン投入口部品にねじ穴と位置決め穴を穿孔するだけで簡単に取付けることができる。しかも、コイン投入ガイド部品を固定したねじはカバーに覆われて外方から見えないので悪戯されるおそれもない。
（２）また、コイン投入ガイド部品の取付基部について、その背面にコイン投入口部品のコイン投入口に連続して設けた位置決め穴に嵌入する位置決め突起を形成したことにより、コイン投入口の近傍でコイン投入ガイド部品をコイン投入口部品に位置決めできることから、コイン投入ガイド部品のコインシュータ部におけるコイン滑落面とコイン投入口部品のコイン投入口との位置ずれを確実に防止して当該コイン投入ガイド部品を所定位置に安定よく位置決めして受け入れたコインを的確にコイン投入口へ送り込むことができる。 According to said structure, there exists the following effect.
(1) When a coin insertion guide part is additionally installed in front of the coin insertion slot part that is standard equipment of the vending machine, it is not possible to replace the operation panel attached to the outer door with a special perforated panel as in the conventional structure. It is not necessary, and it can be easily attached by simply drilling a screw hole and a positioning hole in a coin insertion slot part slightly assembled to the operation panel. Moreover, since the screw fixing the coin insertion guide part is covered with the cover and cannot be seen from the outside, there is no possibility of mischief.
(2) Further , the mounting base of the coin insertion guide part is formed on the back thereof with a positioning projection that fits into a positioning hole provided continuously to the coin insertion slot of the coin insertion slot part. Since the coin insertion guide part can be positioned on the coin insertion slot part, the coin insertion guide part can be reliably prevented from being displaced between the coin sliding surface of the coin shooter portion of the coin insertion guide part and the coin insertion slot of the coin insertion slot part. Can be stably positioned at a predetermined position and the received coin can be accurately fed into the coin slot.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図１〜図３に示す実施例に基づいて説明する。なお、実施例の図中で図７，図８に対応する部材には同じ符号を付してその説明は省略する。
図示実施例の組立構造においては、コイン投入口部品６に対応して操作パネル５の前面に装着するコイン投入ガイド部品１０が次記のような構造になる。すなわち、コイン投入ガイド部品１０は、その上半部には前方に向け庇状に突き出したコインシュータ部、下半部に取付基部を形成した樹脂成形品になり、図２で示すようにコインシュータ部はその後端域を除く外周縁を背の低いフェンス１０aで囲み、かつシュータ底部は前後方向に複数のリブ１０ｂが延在する簀の子構造になる。
一方、下半部の取付基部には中央寄りの左右２箇所にねじ通し穴１０ｃが開口し、さらに取付基部の背面にはコイン投入口部品６の凹面に対応して半円形状に膨出した凸面１０ｄ，およびピン状の位置決め突起１０ｅが形成されている。また、取付基部の前面側には前記のねじ通し穴１０ｃの前面を覆うようにカバー１１を被着し、カバー１１はその上縁側の左右両端に設けた係合突起１１ａを介してガイド部品の本体に掛止固定される。 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the examples shown in FIGS. In addition, in the figure of an Example, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member corresponding to FIG. 7, FIG. 8, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
In the assembly structure of the illustrated embodiment, the coin insertion guide part 10 mounted on the front surface of the operation panel 5 corresponding to the coin insertion slot part 6 has the following structure. That is, the coin insertion guide component 10 is a resin molded product having a coin shooter portion projecting in a hook shape in the upper half portion and a mounting base portion in the lower half portion. As shown in FIG. The part surrounds the outer periphery excluding the rear end region with a fence 10a having a short height, and the bottom of the shooter has a hook structure in which a plurality of ribs 10b extend in the front-rear direction.
On the other hand, screw holes 10c are opened in two places on the left and right of the lower half of the mounting base, and the back of the mounting base swells in a semicircular shape corresponding to the concave surface of the coin slot 6. A convex surface 10d and a pin-shaped positioning projection 10e are formed. Further, a cover 11 is attached to the front surface side of the mounting base so as to cover the front surface of the screw-through hole 10c, and the cover 11 is connected to the guide component via engagement protrusions 11a provided on the left and right ends on the upper edge side. It is fixed to the main body.

そして、前記のコイン投入ガイド部品１０を操作パネル５に取付けたコイン投入口部品６に連ねてその前方に追加装備する場合には、図１（ｂ）で示すように、前記のねじ通し穴１０ｃ，および位置決め突起１０ｅに対応してコイン投入口部品６の凹状板面にねじ穴６ｂ，および位置決め穴６ｃをドリルなどの工具を使って所定位置に穿孔しておく。次に、操作パネル５の前面に前方からコイン投入ガイド部品１０を押し当て、その取付基部の背面に形成した凸面１０ｄ，位置決め突起１０ｅをコイン投入口部品６の凹面，位置決め穴６ｃに嵌合して所定位置に位置決めした上で、前方より固定ねじ１２を図示のように通し、外扉２の裏面側からコイン投入口部品６にねじ止めする。そして、最後に前方より取付基部の前面にカバー１１を被着して固定ねじ１２のねじ頭を覆い隠す。なお、図１（ａ）はコイン投入ガイド部品１０を装着した状態の正面図、図３は側面図を表している。   When the coin insertion guide component 10 is additionally provided in front of the coin insertion port component 6 attached to the operation panel 5, as shown in FIG. 1B, the screw through hole 10c. , And a screw hole 6b and a positioning hole 6c are drilled at predetermined positions on the concave plate surface of the coin slot part 6 corresponding to the positioning projection 10e using a tool such as a drill. Next, the coin insertion guide component 10 is pressed against the front surface of the operation panel 5 from the front, and the convex surface 10d and the positioning projection 10e formed on the back surface of the mounting base are fitted into the concave surface of the coin insertion slot component 6 and the positioning hole 6c. After positioning at a predetermined position, a fixing screw 12 is passed from the front as shown in the figure, and screwed to the coin slot 6 from the back side of the outer door 2. Finally, the cover 11 is attached to the front surface of the mounting base from the front to cover the screw head of the fixing screw 12. 1A is a front view showing a state where the coin insertion guide component 10 is mounted, and FIG. 3 is a side view.

上記の説明で判るように、標準タイプの自動販売機にコイン投入ガイド部品１０を追加装備する場合に、従来構造（図９，図１０参照）で述べたように、外扉２に装着されている標準の操作パネル（図８参照）を図１０に示した専用の操作パネルに付替える必要はなく、標準の操作パネルをそのままにコイン投入口部品６に僅かな穴開け加工を施すだけでコイン投入ガイド部品１０を取付けることができる。
また、コイン投入ガイド部品１０を装着した状態では、コイン投入口部品６のスリット状コイン投入口６ａがコインシュータ部を背後に開口して前方から直接視認でき、これにより利用客はコイン投入ガイド部品１０に一括投入したコインをコインシュータ部の底面を滑らして違和感なしにコイン投入口に送り込むことができる。
しかも、コインシュータ部の底部をリブ構造で強化したことにより、図３の矢印Ｆ方向に加わる外力にも十分に対抗する強度を確保できる。 As can be seen from the above explanation, when the coin insertion guide part 10 is additionally installed in a standard type vending machine, it is attached to the outer door 2 as described in the conventional structure (see FIGS. 9 and 10). The standard operation panel (see FIG. 8) does not need to be replaced with the dedicated operation panel shown in FIG. 10, and the coin can be obtained by making a slight hole in the coin slot 6 while leaving the standard operation panel as it is. The dosing guide part 10 can be attached.
In addition, when the coin insertion guide component 10 is mounted, the slit coin insertion slot 6a of the coin insertion slot component 6 can be seen directly from the front with the coin shooter portion opened to the back, whereby the user can see the coin insertion guide component. It is possible to slide coins that have been batch-inserted into 10 into the coin slot without causing a sense of incongruity by sliding the bottom surface of the coin shooter.
In addition, by strengthening the bottom of the coin shooter with a rib structure, it is possible to secure a strength that sufficiently resists the external force applied in the direction of arrow F in FIG.

図４および図５は本発明の変形例を示し、図４は操作パネルの外観図およびであり、図５はコイン投入ガイド部品の背面側から見た外形斜視図である。
図４における変形例が図１に示す操作パネル５と相違する点はコイン投入口部品６０であり、その他の構成は図１に示すものと同一である。図４におけるコイン投入口部品６０が図１に示したコイン投入口部品６と異なる点は、図１に示した位置決め穴６ｃの代わりにコイン投入口６０ａの左右両端に、コイン投入口６０ａに連続して位置決め穴６０ｄ，６０ｄを形成した点である。一方、図５に示すコイン投入ガイド部品１００が図２に示すコイン投入ガイド部品１０と相違する点は、図２に示す位置決め突起１０ｅに代えて左右一対の位置決め突起１００ｅ，１００ｅを形成した点である。ここで、前記位置決め突起１００ｅ，１００ｅは図４に示した位置決め穴６０ｄ，６０ｄに対応して形成されたものである。 4 and 5 show a modification of the present invention, FIG. 4 is an external view of the operation panel, and FIG. 5 is an external perspective view of the coin insertion guide component viewed from the back side.
4 is different from the operation panel 5 shown in FIG. 1 in a coin slot part 60, and other configurations are the same as those shown in FIG. The coin insertion slot component 60 in FIG. 4 is different from the coin insertion slot component 6 shown in FIG. 1 in that the coin insertion slot 60a is connected to the left and right ends of the coin insertion slot 60a instead of the positioning hole 6c shown in FIG. Thus, the positioning holes 60d and 60d are formed. On the other hand, the coin insertion guide component 100 shown in FIG. 5 is different from the coin insertion guide component 10 shown in FIG. 2 in that a pair of left and right positioning projections 100e and 100e are formed instead of the positioning projection 10e shown in FIG. is there. Here, the positioning protrusions 100e and 100e are formed corresponding to the positioning holes 60d and 60d shown in FIG.

コイン投入ガイド部品１００を操作パネル５に取付けたコイン投入口部品６０に連ねてその前方に追加装備する場合には、操作パネル５の前面に前方からコイン投入ガイド部品１００を押し当て、その取付基部の背面に形成した凹面１０ｄ，位置決め突起１００ｅ，１００ｅをコイン投入口部品６０の凹面，位置決め穴６０ｄ，６０ｄに嵌合して所定位置に位置決めする。その後の工程、すなわち、コイン投入ガイド部品１００を固定ねじ（図１参照）によりねじ止めしたり、コイン投入ガイド部品１００にカバー（図１参照）を装着する工程は図１に示した実施例と同様である。
この変形例ではコイン投入口部品６０の位置決め穴６０ｄ，６０ｄがコイン投入口６０ａの左右両端に連続して形成されていることから、コイン投入口に近接した位置でコイン投入ガイド部品１００の位置決めを行うことができ、これによりコイン投入ガイド部品１００のコインシュータ部におけるコイン滑落面とコイン投入口部品６０のコイン投入口６０ａとの位置ずれを確実に防止することができる。 When the coin insertion guide part 100 is additionally provided in front of the coin insertion slot part 60 attached to the operation panel 5, the coin insertion guide part 100 is pressed against the front surface of the operation panel 5 from the front, and its mounting base The concave surface 10d and positioning protrusions 100e and 100e formed on the back surface of the coin are fitted into the concave surface and positioning holes 60d and 60d of the coin slot 60 to be positioned at predetermined positions. The subsequent steps, that is, the step of screwing the coin insertion guide part 100 with the fixing screw (see FIG. 1) or the step of attaching the cover (see FIG. 1) to the coin insertion guide part 100 are the same as those in the embodiment shown in FIG. It is the same.
In this modified example, since the positioning holes 60d, 60d of the coin slot 60 are continuously formed at the left and right ends of the coin slot 60a, the coin slot guide component 100 is positioned at a position close to the coin slot. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent displacement between the coin sliding surface in the coin shooter portion of the coin insertion guide component 100 and the coin insertion port 60a of the coin insertion port component 60.

次に、図６は本発明の異なる変形例を示す操作パネルの外観図である。図６における変形例が図１に示す操作パネル５と相違する点はコイン投入口部品６００であり、その他の構成は図１に示すものと同一である。図６におけるコイン投入口部品６００が図１に示したコイン投入口部品６と異なる点は、図１に示した位置決め穴６ｃの代わりにコイン投入口６００ａの左右両端に一対の位置決め穴６００ｄ，６００ｄを形成した点である。この変形例に係るコイン投入ガイド部品については図示を省略したが、図５に示したコイン投入ガイド部品１００における左右一対の位置決め突起１００ｅ，１００ｅを一対の位置決め穴６００ｄ，６００ｄに対応して設けた点が異なるのみである。この変形例においてもコイン投入口部品６００の位置決め穴６００ｄ，６００ｄがコイン投入口６００ａの左右両端の近傍に形成されていることから、コイン投入口に近接した位置でコイン投入ガイド部品の位置決めを行うことができ、これによりコイン投入ガイド部品のコインシュータ部におけるコイン滑落面とコイン投入口部品６００のコイン投入口６００ａとの位置ずれを確実に防止することができる。   Next, FIG. 6 is an external view of an operation panel showing a modification of the present invention. 6 differs from the operation panel 5 shown in FIG. 1 in a coin slot part 600, and other configurations are the same as those shown in FIG. The coin insertion slot component 600 in FIG. 6 is different from the coin insertion slot component 6 shown in FIG. 1 in that a pair of positioning holes 600d and 600d are provided at both left and right ends of the coin insertion slot 600a instead of the positioning hole 6c shown in FIG. Is the point that formed. Although the illustration of the coin insertion guide component according to this modification is omitted, the pair of left and right positioning protrusions 100e and 100e in the coin insertion guide component 100 shown in FIG. 5 are provided corresponding to the pair of positioning holes 600d and 600d. Only the point is different. Also in this modified example, since the positioning holes 600d and 600d of the coin insertion slot component 600 are formed in the vicinity of the left and right ends of the coin insertion slot 600a, the coin insertion guide component is positioned at a position close to the coin insertion slot. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent displacement between the coin sliding surface in the coin shooter portion of the coin insertion guide part and the coin insertion slot 600a of the coin insertion slot part 600.
