<Composition of medal auxiliary storage>
<< First Example >>
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the medal auxiliary storage according to the first embodiment of the present invention, (a) is a bottom view, (b) is a front view, and (c) is a plan view. (D) is a left side view.

  4A and 4B are diagrams showing the configuration of the medal auxiliary storage 240 shown in FIG. 3, wherein FIG. 4A is a rear view, FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. It is a perspective view, (d) is a rear perspective view.

  If the medal payout device 180 is automatically replenished with medals, measures are taken to attach a device related to automatic replenishment to the medal payout device 180, and the medal auxiliary storage 240 is removed. Measures are taken to prevent medals from accumulating in the medal auxiliary storage 240 by, for example, removing the bottom plate of the medal auxiliary storage 240, and the main body floor plate (lower surface plate 264) drops the medal onto the island facility. Measures are taken to form the opening to be made. As described above, the bottom plate of the medal auxiliary storage 240 is assumed to be removed, and generally has a structure that can be easily removed in advance, and this embodiment also has the structure. The illustration is omitted to facilitate the description of the features of the embodiment.

  The medal auxiliary storage 240 can move back and forth on the lower surface plate 264 of the gaming table 100, and includes bottom plates 702a and 702b, a front plate 703a rising from the front edge of the bottom plate 702a, and a rear edge of the bottom plate 702b. A rear side plate 703b that rises from the right side of the bottom plates 702a and 702b, and a left side plate 701b that rises from the left side of the bottom plates 702a and 702b. It is configured to be able to store medals that have fallen. Each plate and each member constituting the medal auxiliary storage 240 may be all integrated, some may be integrated, and all may be separate.

  The bottom plate 702b is provided at a position higher than the bottom plate 702a. When the bottom plate 702a contacts the lower surface plate 264, a space 704 is generated between the lower surface plate 264 and the bottom plate 702b. The right side plate 701a and the left side plate 701b extend below the bottom plate 702b and reach the lower surface plate 264. On the other hand, the rear side plate 703b does not extend below the bottom plate 702b, and an opening 704a connected to the space 704 is formed at the lower rear end of the medal auxiliary storage 240.

  A step 702c is provided between the bottom plate 702b and the bottom plate 702a, and the space 705 is extended to a position of the bottom plate 702a lower than the bottom plate 702b, so that an area where medals can be stored is expanded.

  A handle 700 is provided on the front plate 703a, and an operator can grab the handle 700 to move the medal auxiliary storage 240 forward and backward.

  FIG. 5 is a rear view of the medal auxiliary storage shown in FIG. 3 and is a view for explaining the opening 704a.

When the width of the opening 704a is L2, the height is L1, the diameter of the medal 706 is L3, and the thickness is L4,
L4 <L1 and L3 <L2.

  Thereby, the medals 706 scattered on the lower surface plate 264 may be accommodated in the space 704 from the opening 704a and may not interfere with the forward / backward movement of the medal auxiliary storage 240.

  In addition, when a plurality of medals 706 are stacked, the medals 706 stacked on top may prevent the medal auxiliary storage 240 from moving back and forth, and may prevent another medal 706 from entering the space 704. The height L1 of the opening 704a may be larger than the thickness L4 of the medal 706 and smaller than twice the thickness L4 of the medal 706 (L4 <L1 <L4 × 2). In this case, by moving the medal auxiliary storage 240 back and forth, the medal 706 can be prevented from entering the space 704 while the medal 706 stacked on the upper side is not stacked on the lower medal. In some cases, the medal 706 can easily enter the space 704.

  When two medals 706 are stacked, the second medals 706 stacked on top of each other prevent the medal auxiliary storage 240 from moving back and forth, thereby preventing another medal 706 from entering the space 704. Therefore, the height L1 of the opening 704a may be larger than twice the thickness L4 of the medal 706 (L4 × 2 <L1).

  In consideration of the case where three medals 706 are stacked, the height L1 of the opening 704a may be larger than three times the thickness L4 of the medals 706 (L4 × 3 <L1).

  If the height L1 of the opening 704a is too large, the number of medals that can be stored in the medal auxiliary storage 240 decreases, and the original function given to the medal auxiliary storage 240 may not be performed. The height L1 of the opening 704a may be set on the assumption that about two pieces of medals 706 may actually be stacked.

  When the two medals 706 are arranged side by side without being stacked (when the diameter of the medals 706 has a length of L3 × 2), the two medals 706 block the opening portion 704a. Since the medal 706 may be prevented from entering the space 704, the width L2 of the opening 704a may be larger than twice the diameter L3 of the medal 706 (L3 × 2 <L2).

  If the width L2 of the opening 704a is too large, the lateral width of the medal auxiliary storage 240 is also increased, and there is a possibility that the storage space of the medal auxiliary storage 240 is increased. Therefore, the width L2 of the opening 704a. May be larger than twice the diameter L3 of the medal 706 and smaller than three times the diameter L3 of the medal 706 (L3 × 2 <L2 <L3 × 3). Even when the three medals 706 are arranged side by side without being stacked (when the diameter of the medals 706 has a length of L3 × 3), the central medal 706 out of the three medals enters the space 704, and the central medal Since the two medals 706 at both ends excluding 706 are moved by the medal auxiliary storage 240, the opening 704a may not be blocked by these three medals 706.

FIG. 6A shows the medal auxiliary storage 240 shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the state located, (b) is a figure which shows the state in which the conventional medal auxiliary storage 1240 is located ahead, (c) is the medal auxiliary storage 240 from the state of (a) back. It is a figure which shows the state moved, (d) is a figure which shows the state which moved the medal auxiliary storage 1240 back from the state of (b).

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6C, according to this embodiment, when the medal auxiliary storage 240 is moved rearward, the medals 706 scattered on the lower surface plate 264 are spaced from the opening 704a. In some cases, the medals 706 that fit into the 704 and are pushed by the medal auxiliary storage 240 do not come into contact with the back plate 242 and obstruct the backward movement of the medal auxiliary storage 240.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6D, conventionally, when the medal auxiliary storage 1240 is moved backward, the medals 706 scattered on the lower surface plate 264 are stored in the medal auxiliary storage 1240. It is pushed and comes into contact with the back plate 242 and obstructs the backward movement of the medal auxiliary storage 240.

  Here, the pressing force required when moving the medal auxiliary storage 240 of this embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (c) to the rear is assumed to be f1, and the conventional force shown in FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (d) is used. F1 <f2, where f2 is the pressing force required when moving the medal auxiliary storage 1240 of the rear.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state where the medal auxiliary storage shown in FIG. 3 is moved backward. FIG. 7 shows a case where the front side plate 703a, the rear side plate 703b, the right side plate 701a, and the left side plate 701b are transparent.

  As shown in FIG. 7, according to the present embodiment, when the medal auxiliary storage 240 is moved rearward, the medals 706 scattered on the lower surface plate 264 are stored in the space 704 from the opening 704a. Become.
