An auxiliary table device 8a is provided near the medal tray 8.

In the illustrated auxiliary table device 8a, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a plate-shaped table 10a is attached between the opposite left and right frame sides 9 and 9, and the rear end portions of the frame sides 9 and 9 are attached. The fixture 12 having a U-shaped groove 11 is formed by bending upward and folding back the upper end. This fixture 1
2 is a U-shaped groove 11 with respect to the peripheral wall 13 of the medal tray 8
Is for engaging and disengaging the auxiliary table device 8a, and the table 10a is horizontally positioned in front of the medal tray 8 when engaged. The table 10a is held at a position lower than the upper edge of the peripheral wall 13 of the medal tray 8, and when the medal box 14 is placed on the table 10a, the position of the upper opening of the medal box 14 is exactly the peripheral wall of the medal tray 8.
