Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention is a coin payout port for paying out change coins after the selection of lending of a game medium for the input amount, particularly coins of a game medium lending machine. When a change coin is dropped into the coin payout outlet, a coin pop-out prevention plate is provided to prevent change coins from jumping out from the opening of the coin payout outlet, and a protrusion is provided on each of the lower inner side walls to prevent the coin from coming out of the coin payout port. The present invention relates to a coins payout port that enables easy removal of change coins.

(Prior Art) Normally, in a game store, a thin game medium lending machine is arranged between the stands of the game machine, and is provided so that the game medium can be lent out for the amount of money put in. Recently 500
With the circulation of yen coins, for example, in thin game medium lending machines provided between game machines, those that can use 500 yen coins in addition to 100 yen coins have become mainstream. .

Further, from the service-oriented point of view to the customer, there is also provided one that can lend a game medium even with 1,000 yen bills without leaving a seat.

Thin game media lending machines using 1,000 yen bills are of the type that lends 1,000 yen bills and lends 1,000 yen bills at a time, and depending on the amount of customer's selection operation, insert 1,000 yen bills There is a type of renting out balls for a large amount (thin game medium lending machine with selection mechanism).

By the way, in the thin game medium lending machine with a selection mechanism, the customer inserts 1,000 yen bills and after selection, the game medium for rent is paid out, and the balance is paid out as change coins (for example, 100 yen coins) one by one. To be done.

The change coins described above flow down as a balance after selection by the internal change payout mechanism in an upright state in the passage and fall to the coins payout outlet, and a window is provided on the lower front side so that the change coins can be taken out by inserting a finger. It is open. Also, some windows are left open, and some have a door that can be opened and closed.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, at the coin payout opening of the window that is still open, the change coins paid out by the change paying mechanism flow down in the passage in a standing state, and the change at the coin payout opening With the momentum of falling to the bottom of the retaining part while standing up, the coin dispensing outlet is made of a hard material, so the reaction coins that have dropped onto the bottom cause the change coin to jump out of the coin dispensing outlet window. It made my customers feel very uncomfortable (see Figure 6).

Therefore, we installed a door that can be opened and closed freely on the window of the small coins payout opening so that change coins no longer pop out, but on the other hand, you have to open and close the door one by one to take out the change coins. Therefore, when playing a game, it was pointed out that the primary game had to be stopped and taken out.

Further, in any of the coin dispensing outlets, when the change coins are taken out, since the inner wall surface forming the coin dispensing outlet is formed of a flat surface, if the change coins come into close contact with the inner wall or the bottom surface. It was found that they could not be taken out easily, and in some cases even left behind.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a door is not provided on the coin payout opening window so that change coins do not pop out of the window opened at the coin payout opening even if the coin is left open. Coin payout of a thin game medium lending machine equipped with both a coin popping-out prevention plate at a coin payout exit and a structure in which a change coin can be easily taken out without being brought into close contact with the surface constituting the coin payout exit The purpose is to provide an exit.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to achieve the above object, the coin payout structure of the thin gaming medium lending machine of the present invention is arranged between gaming machine stands in which a plurality of gaming machines are arranged in parallel, A change dispensing mechanism that pays out the change coins one by one for the remaining amount after the selection of the loan of the game medium for the entered amount, a passage for allowing the change coins to flow down in a standing state, and a coin payout opening with a lower front face. In the thin game medium lending machine, the coin dispensing outlet comprises a coin popping-out prevention plate bent at the position of the upper inner wall facing the terminal end portion of the passage, and the coin dispensing outlet. Each of the lower inner side walls of the surface is provided with at least one protrusion protruding inward.

(Operation) With the coin dispensing exit structure of the thin game medium lending machine of the present invention configured as described above, normally, a 1,000-yen bill is inserted into the bill slot, and the amount of money is obtained by pressing the selection button desired by the customer. Depending on the game medium, the remaining change coins flow down from the change dispensing mechanism through the passage inside the thin game medium lending machine in a standing state and are bent into the inner wall of the coin dispensing outlet. A change coin hits the side surface of the pop-out prevention plate to weaken its power, causing it to fall vertically in a posture other than the standing posture.

In addition, at least one or more protrusions protruding inward are provided on each of the lower inner side walls of the surface forming the coin dispense port, so that the coin dispense port can be in any posture regardless of the posture of the dropped coin. It is held slightly separated from the surface.

As a result, change coins are prevented from popping out of the coin payout window, and can be taken out more easily.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the main body of a thin game medium lending machine to which a coin dispensing outlet having a pop-out prevention plate and a protrusion of the present invention is attached. FIG. 2 is a front view of the main body.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a coin payout opening window having a lower front surface opened.

Reference numeral 5 is a 100-yen coin or 500-yen coin insertion slot provided on the upper portion of the thin game mediating machine, and 6 is a bill insertion slot for a 1000-yen bill vertically provided on the lower portion. 13 is 100 yen, 50
A coin discriminating machine for discriminating whether the 0-yen coin is suitable or not is provided at a position connected to the passage from the coin slot 5.

When a bill S is inserted into the bill slot 6, the bill validator 16 discriminates whether the bill is proper or not, and if it is a proper bill, the selection buttons 7a, 7b, 7c of the selection button plate 7 are turned on, and the game media required by the customer. When the selection button for the desired amount of money is pressed, the game mediator is lent out from the median loan outlet 8 from the ball rental counting mechanism, and the balance is paid out as change coins 11 by operating the change payout mechanism 14.

The change dispensing mechanism 14 passes the remaining change coins 11 to the passage 15
The coins 11 are paid out one by one, and the change coins 11 flow down the passage 15 in an upright state, and flow in through an opening 3 provided on the back surface of the coin payout outlet 2.

A coin popping-out prevention plate 1 formed by being bent at the position of the upper inner wall facing the terminal end portion of the passage 15 in the coin dispensing outlet 2.
Is provided.

When the change coin 11 flows in through the opening 3, the change coin 11 strikes the side surface of the pop-out prevention plate 1 in the opposite position, the impact is weakened, the force is weakened, and the coin is not in the standing state. Since it falls on the bottom surface 12, it does not jump out from the coin dispensing outlet 2.

At least one (here, one) protrusion 10 protruding inward is provided on each surface of the lower inner wall of the surface forming the coin dispensing port 2. The protrusion 10 on the bottom surface is provided at a substantially central position, and the protrusion 10 on the inner wall is provided at a height within a coin diameter.

Now, the bottom surface 1 of the coin dispensing outlet 2 without jumping out like this
The posture of the change coin 11 that has reached 2 is set to any one of the inner walls of the coin dispensing outlet 2 by the protrusion 10 provided on the bottom surface 12 regardless of the posture when dropped. It is in a leaning state, that is, it does not come into close contact with the inner wall or the bottom surface 12 and a certain amount of clearance is obtained, so that it is easy to get on the finger, easy to take out, and forgetting to remove can be prevented.

In addition, here, the thin game medium lending machine is a coin jumping-out prevention plate 1 and a projection 10 at a coin payout opening 2 of a 1,000-yen bill stand ball lending machine.
However, even if a coin pop-out prevention plate and a protrusion are provided at the coin payout exit of a thin stand-to-order medal lending machine, a card-type stand-to-table ball lending machine, etc. Needless to say.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, the coin payout structure of the thin game medium lending machine of the present invention, in particular, introduces change coins one by one from the passage leading to the coin payout in the upright state. The change coin is bent on the inner wall of the upper part facing the end of the passage, and the force of falling against the side surface of the coin pop-out prevention plate is weakened, the standing posture is lost, and the protrusions projecting on the respective surfaces of the lower inner wall. Objects are temporarily held on the bottom of the coin payout opening by being leaned or locked. Therefore, even if the coins are paid out in the standing state, they will not pop out from the opening of the coin payout opening. At the same time, the change coins, which are primarily held on the bottom of the coin dispensing outlet, do not come into close contact with the inner wall, and the change coins can be easily taken out.

In other words, the unpleasantness caused by the change coins popping out that has been left open in the past, the troublesome removal when the openable door is attached, the inconvenience and the leftover of the removal, and the effect that the service is further improved for the customer. Is significantly increased.
