The fixed guide 1 includes a back plate 11 that covers the back side of the medal lending machine A, a side plate 12 that covers one side of the medal lending machine A over the entire surface, and a frame on the other side edge of the medal lending machine A. It is formed in a box shape including a frame plate 13 that covers the top, a top plate 14, and a bottom plate 15 that is screwed to the base C, and a shelf plate 16 is attached at an intermediate position in the vertical direction, and the upper unit 4 is The lower unit 9 is mounted on the shelf plate 16 and the lower unit 9 is mounted on the bottom plate 15, and these units 4 and 9 are fixed by a lock device 17 provided on the shelf plate 15 so as not to slip out.

As shown in FIG. 3, the locking device 17 includes a pair of left and right locking levers 19 having locking claws 18 and a vertical shaft 20 that pivotally supports the locking levers 19 in the left-right direction. And a spring 21 that urges the locking claws 18 to swing toward each other, and each locking lever 19 has a swing range in which the locking claws 18 face each other. It is restricted to a range extending from the position to the unlocking position separated from each other. Then, when the upper unit 4 is placed on the shelf plate 16 and pushed into the fixed guide 1, the locking claw 18 of one locking lever 19 is pushed by the locking piece 22 fixed to the lower surface of the upper unit 4 and When the locking lever 19 is forcibly swung to the unlocking position side and the locking piece 22 is pushed beyond the locking claw 18, the locking lever 19 returns and swings to lock the locking piece 22. 18 and the upper unit 4 is prevented from coming out of the fixed guide 1. Similarly, when the lower unit 9 is also placed on the bottom plate 15 and pushed into the fixed guide 1, the locking claw 18 of the other locking lever 19 is pushed by the locking piece 23 fixed to the upper surface of the lower unit 9. When the locking lever 19 is forcibly swung to the unlocking position side and the locking piece 23 is pushed beyond the locking claw 18, the locking lever 19 returns and swings to move the locking piece 23. The lower unit 9 is locked by the locking claw 18 to prevent the lower unit 9 from coming out of the fixed guide 1. The lower unit 9 is provided with a lock release lever 24 which is rockably operated by a key inserted from the front side of the panel. The rocking operation of the lock release lever 24 forcibly rocks one of the locking levers 19 to the lock release position. When moved, the upper unit 4 can be pulled out from the fixed guide 1, and when the other locking lever 19 is forcibly rocked to the unlocked position, the lower unit 9 can be pulled out from the fixed guide 1.
