Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a coin insertion device for a coin-operated game machine.

The coin slot attached to the front frame of a conventional coin-operated game machine is made of a thin metal plate and has a width that allows coins to be inserted one by one. For this reason, when inserting a coin into the slot, care must be taken to ensure that the coin fits well with the coin slot, and if the coin is not pushed in, it will often bounce and the coin may be dropped. This caused trouble when starting the game, and halved the interest in the game.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a coin insertion device for a coin-operated game machine that facilitates the insertion of coins and allows a smooth coin insertion operation.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a coin-operated game machine 1 in which a game right is generated by inserting a coin, and a number of award coins corresponding to the score are discharged after the game is over. An input port plate 2 is attached to one side of the front frame 8.
The slot plate 2 has a coin slot 3, a coin return button 4, a coin return slot 5, and a payment switch 6.
A coin selector 22 is provided in series behind the front frame 8 to select coins.

In the figure, 11 is a stopping display part, 12 is a rail, 1
3 is the obstacle nail, 14 is the prize opening, 15 is the score display section,
16 is a matrix display section, 17 is a game ball receiving frame,
18 is a game ball viewing window, 19 is an operation handle, 20
is a saucer, and 21 is a stopper hole.

FIG. 2 shows a general coin selector 22 provided at the rear of the front frame 8, 23 is a mounting plate, 24 is a sorting rail, 25 is a cylindrical spring, 26 is a stop lever, 27 is a stop magnet, and 28 is a 29 is a lever, 30 is a coin outlet, 31 is a return gutter, and 32 is a return link button.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a guide member 7 that surrounds the lower part of the coin slot 3 is provided on the front surface of the coin slot 3 and protrudes from the surface of the slot 3.
The slot 10, which is wider than the coin slot 3, and the inclined part 9 for introducing coins are integrally formed, and the inserted coins are guided from the socket 10 to the slot 9 and the coin slot 3. It's becoming like that. The socket part 10 of this embodiment opens diagonally above the side wall, and the inclined part 9
is tilted toward the coin slot 3.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, by simply dropping a coin into the socket 10 from above, the coin will roll onto the coin slot 3 by its own weight on the coin periphery, extremely easily, reliably, and quickly. It is possible to insert coins, and the operations before starting the game can be performed extremely smoothly.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention,
The guide member 7 surrounding the lower half of the coin slot 3 is made to protrude from the surface of the slot 3, and the slot 10
has a shape that widens toward the front side from the input port 3, and has an inclined portion 9 on the bottom surface that slopes downward toward the input port 3.

If the slot 3 is provided at an angle of 5 to 10 degrees instead of vertically, it will be easier to insert coins.

In this way, the present invention provides a slot on the surface of the front frame of the game machine, which is connected to a coin selector for sorting coins inserted, and the coin slot has a guiding member surrounding the lower part of the slot. The guide member is provided to protrude from the surface, and the guide member has a socket wider than the coin slot and an inclined part for introducing the coin, and the coins to be inserted are guided from the slot to the inclined part and the coin slot. Since the coin is guided to the slot, the player only needs to place the coin to be inserted into the slot, eliminating the need for special precautions, making the coin insertion operation easy and smooth, and eliminating the hassle of starting a game. It has the advantage of being able to eliminate
