First, when a 10-yen coin is introduced from the introduction hole 251 as the first coin C1 (see arrow 7A in FIG. 6), it cannot pass through the first carrier arm 27 as shown in FIG. 7 (A). Therefore, since the 10-yen coin is locked between the first carrier first arm 272 and the first carrier second arm 273, the first carrier arm 27 is determined by the weight of the 10-yen coin in FIG. 7 (A). It rotates in the direction of the middle arrow 8A. As a result, the 10-yen coin is guided to the first path 31 (see arrow 7B in FIG. 6), falls downward (see arrow 7C in FIG. 6), and is then guided downward (arrow 7D in FIG. 6). (See), derived from the first lead-out hole 261.
On the other hand, when the 10-yen coin is detached, the first carrier arm 27 is rotated in the direction of arrow 8B by the first weight 276 and returns to the origin position.

Next, a case where a 100-yen coin is inserted into the introduction hole 251 as the second coin C2 will be described. When the 100-yen coin is introduced from the introduction hole 251 (see arrow 7A in FIG. 6), as shown in FIG. 7 (B), the 100-yen coin passes through the first carrier arm 27 and reaches the inclined surface 29 (FIG. 6). 6 Refer to the middle arrow 7E). The 100-yen coin moves forward and downward along the intermediate path wall 321 between the inclined surface 29 and the inclined surface 36 (see arrow 7F in FIG. 6) to reach the second carrier arm 37.

As shown in FIG. 8A, since the second carrier arm 37 does not pass the 100-yen coin, the 100-yen coin is locked between the second carrier first arm 372 and the second carrier second arm 373. To. Then, the second carrier arm 37 rotates in the direction of the middle arrow 9A in FIG. 8A due to the weight of the 100-yen coin. As a result, the 100-yen coin is guided to the second path 33 (see arrow 7G in FIG. 6) and falls, and is led downward from the second lead-out hole 262.

Next, a case where a 50-yen coin is inserted into the introduction hole 251 as the third coin C3 will be described. When a 50-yen coin is introduced through the introduction hole 251 (see arrow 7A in FIG. 6), as shown in FIG. 7 (B), the 50-yen coin passes through the first carrier arm 27 and reaches the inclined surface 29 (FIG. 6). 6 Refer to the middle arrow 7E). The 50-yen coin moves forward and downward along the intermediate path wall 321 between the inclined surface 29 and the inclined surface 36, and reaches the second carrier arm 37.
As shown in FIG. 8B, since the second carrier arm 37 passes a 50-yen coin, the 50-yen coin falls between the second carrier first arm 372 and the second carrier second arm 373 (FIG. 8). 6 Refer to the middle arrow 7H). Then, it is led out downward from the third lead-out hole 263 via the third path 34.

Next, the input article detection device 40 will be described.

In addition, concave swinging rolling surfaces 434 and 435 are formed on the rolling surfaces of the upper portion 432 and the lower portion 433, respectively.

Therefore, when the coin C inserted from the insertion hole 411 rolls down on the first rolling surface 412A, the weight of the coin C first pushes down the upper portion 432 of the swing member 43.
Next, the coin C gets over the swing shaft 431 and pushes down the lower portion 433 by the weight of the coin C. As a result, the upper portion 432 jumps up, but while the coin C is on the lower portion 433, it does not drop even if the next inserted coin C comes into contact with the upper portion 432. Stop once.
Then, when the previous coin C passes the lower portion 433 and reaches the second rolling surface 412B, the upper portion 432 is lowered by the weight of the next coin C, so that the next coin C gets over the rocking member 43.
Therefore, even when the coins C are continuously inserted, the coins C can be introduced into the inserted article sorting device 20 at regular intervals, and clogging can be prevented by the continuous insertion.

Therefore, the number of second coins C2 held by the second coin holding portion 52 is set according to the position of the stopper 525 in the groove portion 525.

As shown in FIGS. 13 (A) and 13 (B), a second detection member 453 is provided on the rear side of the second holding plate 522. The second detection member 453 is rotatably supported around the rotation center 454. Further, a second stopper member 462 is provided below the second detection member 453.

The first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 522 are always closed, and the stoppers 515 and 525 project into the space for accommodating the coin C to regulate the number of coins C to be held. The first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 522 are connected to the return lever 17 by the return mechanism 171 (see FIG. 9), and when the return lever 17 is operated (pushed), the first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 522 are operated. The upper end of the plate 522 is designed to open.

Further, since the stoppers 515 and 525 protruding into the accommodating space of the coin C are attached to the first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 522, the upper ends of the first holding plate 512 and the second holding plate 522 open. As a result, the coin C is retracted from the storage space of the coin C, so that the held coin C rolls forward and downward on the first support plate 511 and the second support plate 521, and the first coin return port. It is discharged from 516 or the second coin return port 526. The ejected coin C is ejected to the coin tray 16 and returned. Since the return lever 17 is urged to protrude by a spring, when the return lever 17 is released, the return lever 17 returns to the origin position where the return lever 17 protrudes, and the first support plate 511 and the second support plate 521 The top edge of is closed.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, when at least one of the first coin C1 and the second coin C2 held by the inserted article holding portion 50 reaches a predetermined number behind the inserted article holding portion 50. Has a rotary handle portion 70 that allows the rotary handle 71 to rotate. The rotary handle portion 70 constitutes a part of the moving portion 60.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 12 (A) and 12 (B), the rotary handle 71 has a disk member 72 and a guide plate 75, which are ratchet gears. As shown in FIG. 12A, a pawl 44 is provided on the outside of the disc member 72 to prevent the disc member 72 from rotating in the reverse direction. The pawl 44 is rotatably supported around the rotation shaft 441, and the end portion on the side farther from the disk member 72 is urged in the arrow A direction by the spring 442. As a result, the tip of the pawl 44 is pressed against the disc member 72, so that the disc member 72 can be prevented from reversing (counterclockwise rotation).

The disk member 72 and the guide plate 75 are connected by bolts or the like, and rotate integrally around a central shaft 711 provided in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the guide plate 75 is also prevented from rotating counterclockwise. Further, the left and right sides of the guide plate 75 (both upper and lower sides in FIG. 12B) have a first protruding plate (first protruding portion) 73 and a second protruding plate (second protruding portion) 74. The first protruding plate 73 is located behind the first coin holding portion 51, and the second protruding plate 74 is located behind the second coin holding portion 52.

The first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 are slidably supported in the radial direction of the guide plate 75, and can appear and disappear outside the guide plate 75. Spring 76 and 77 are provided on one end side of the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74, respectively, and the other end side is always urged in the direction of protruding from the guide plate 75. The first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 are rotatably provided behind the first coin holding portion 51 by the rotation of the rotary handle 71, respectively, of the first detection member 451 and the second detection member 453. (See FIGS. 13 (A) and 13 (B)).

As shown in FIG. 13A, when a predetermined number of first coins C1 are not held by the first coin holding portion 51, the first protruding plate 73 first detects as the rotary handle 71 rotates. Upon contact with the member 451 the first detection member 451 rotates in a direction away from the rotary handle 71 (direction of middle arrow A in FIG. 13A).
Therefore, since the rotary handle 71 rotates with the first protruding plate 73 protruding, the first protruding plate 73 comes into contact with the first stopper member 461, and the rotation of the rotary handle 71 is prevented (FIG. 13 (A)). ) Shown with a solid line).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13B, when a predetermined number of first coins C1 are held in the first coin holding portion 51, and the stopper 515 is attached to the uppermost part so that the first coin C1 is not used. If so, the first detection member 451 is prevented from rotating by the first coin C1 or the stopper 515.
Therefore, when the first protruding plate 73 comes into contact with the first detection member 451 as the rotary handle 71 rotates, the first protruding plate 73 rotates along the first detection member 451 and is therefore the center of the rotary handle 71. It sinks toward the axis 711. As a result, the first protruding plate 73 does not come into contact with the first stopper member 461, so that the rotary handle 71 can rotate.

The second coin holding portion 52 side also operates in the same manner as the first coin holding portion 51 side described above. That is, when a predetermined number of second coins C2 are not held by the second coin holding portion 52, the second protruding plate 74 comes into contact with the second stopper member 462, so that the rotation of the rotary handle 71 is prevented. .. Further, when a predetermined number of second coins C2 are held in the second coin holding portion 52, or when the stopper 525 is attached to the uppermost part and the second coin C2 is not used, the second protrusion Since the plate 74 does not abut on the second stopper member 462, the rotary handle 71 can rotate.

As described above, when the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 can be moved separately (individual operation state), coins are predetermined in either the first coin holding portion 51 or the second coin holding portion 52. If the number of coins is insufficient, the rotary handle 71 cannot rotate.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, when the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 are connected by the connecting mechanism 78 and interlocked (interlocking state), the first coin holding portion 51 and the first coin holding portion 51 and the second When the number of coins reaches a predetermined number in one of the two coin holding portions 52, the rotary handle 71 can rotate. For example, when coins and tokens are used in combination, the rotary handle 71 can be rotated when either the coins or the tokens reach a predetermined number by setting the interlocking state.

The connecting mechanism 78 includes, for example, a connecting member 781 attached to the first protruding plate 73 and an overall U-shaped fixing member 782 rotatably attached to the surface of the second protruding plate 74 on the side of the first protruding plate 73. And has a fixing screw 783. Further, the fixing member 782 is located at the tip of the connecting member 781. When connecting the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74, as shown in FIG. 14, the pair of side walls 784 of the fixing member 782 are in front of and behind the connecting member 781 (sliding direction of the second protruding plate 74). ), The fixing member 782 is rotated with respect to the second protruding plate 74, and is fixed by the fixing screw 783.

On the other hand, when the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 move individually, as shown in FIG. 15, the pair of side walls 784 of the fixing member 782 are left and right (second protruding plate) of the connecting member 781. The fixing member 782 is rotated with respect to the second protruding plate 74 so as to be located in a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction of the 74), and is fixed by the fixing screw 783. As a result, when the first protruding plate 73 or the second protruding plate 74 tries to move relatively, the tip of the connecting member 781 passes between the pair of side walls 784 of the fixing member 782, thereby fixing the first protruding plate 73 or the second protruding plate 74. Since the member 782 and the connecting member 781 are relatively movable, the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 can be moved individually.
As a result, the rotary handle portion 70 can select an interlocking state in which the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 are interlocked, and an individual operating state in which the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 are individually operated.

As shown in FIG. 16, the guide plate 75 has an overall circular shape, and an inclined surface 751 is provided on the counterclockwise side of the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 so as to project outward.
Therefore, when the rotary handle 71 is rotatable, the inclined surface 751 is an opening mechanism that opens the lower surfaces of the first support plate 511 of the first coin holding portion 51 and the second support plate 521 of the second coin holding portion 52 (not shown). The coin C is dropped in contact with (omitted). The inclined surface 751 is continuous with the convex portion 752 protruding outward continuously in the counterclockwise direction. While the convex portion 752 is in contact with the opening mechanism, the lower surfaces of the first support plate 511 and the second support plate 521 are open, and the coin C is dropped. Then, before the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 come into contact with the first detection member 451 and the second detection member 453 again, the convex portion 752 ends, and the first support plate 511 and the second support plate 511 and the second support plate The lower surface of the 521 is closed, and the coin C can be held.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a lever 80 is provided on the rear side of the disk member 72, and the disk member 72 is provided when overcoming a protrusion (not shown) provided on the disk member 72. It gives a certain resistance to the rotation of the disk and makes a clicking sound when it gets over the protrusion.
A second bevel gear 79 is attached to the front of the disk member 72 (on the left side in FIG. 3), and the disk member 72 and the second bevel gear 79 rotate integrally. The second bevel gear 79 meshes with the first bevel gear 65 attached to the intermediate shaft 64 of the operating portion 60 described above.

Next, the operation of taking out the contents A of the contents taking-out device 10 will be described.
A predetermined coin C is inserted from the coin insertion slot 113 provided on the front surface of the container take-out device 10. The coin C is introduced from the introduction hole 251 of the insertion article sorting device 20 via the guide portion 41 of the insertion article detection device 40. As described above, the first coin C1, the second coin C2, and the third coin C3 are sorted by the input article sorting device 20, the first coin C1 is held by the first coin holding unit 51, and the second coin C2. Is held by the second coin holding unit 52. Further, the third coin C3 is discharged to the coin tray.

After inserting a predetermined number of coins C, the purchaser turns the take-out handle 61 on the front surface of the container take-out device 10 clockwise. As described above, the take-out handle 61 is connected to the second bevel gear 79 via the spindle body 62, the gear group 63, the intermediate shaft 64, and the first bevel gear 65, and the rotary handle 71 (that is, the second bevel gear). The take-out handle 61 can also be rotated only when 79) is rotatable.
Therefore, when a predetermined number of coins C are inserted and held, the rotary handle 71 can rotate. Therefore, by turning the take-out handle 61, the rotary table 14 rotates and the storage case The container A stored in the container 12 is discharged to the container outlet 15. Further, as the take-out handle 61 rotates, it comes into contact with the opening mechanism that opens the convex portion 752 of the guide plate 75, so that the first support plate 511 of the first coin holding portion 51 and the second support of the second coin holding portion 52 are supported. The lower surface of the plate 521 is opened, and the first coin C1 held by the first coin holding portion 51 and the second coin C2 held by the second coin holding portion 52 fall and are housed in the coin storage portion 54. Will be done.

On the other hand, when a predetermined number of coins C have not been inserted, the rotary handle 71 cannot rotate, so that the take-out handle 61 cannot be rotated. Therefore, the contained material A cannot be taken out.
In such a case, or when it is desired to cancel the purchase after inserting the coin C, the inserted coin C can be discharged to the coin tray 16 by pressing the return lever 17.

When making it possible to purchase coins or tokens, the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 74 of the rotary handle portion 70 are connected by a connecting mechanism 78, and the first protruding plate 73 and the second protruding plate 73 are connected. Make the 74 move together.
