【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 with the endless chain removed.

The upper gutter 10 is provided with a bottom plate 16 having a guide groove 14 having a depth smaller than the height of the endless chain 12 at the center thereof, and a space for allowing coins 18 to pass on both sides of the bottom plate 16. It is composed of two side plates 20 installed upright.

A lower gutter 22 is attached under the upper gutter 10, and the lower gutter 22 has a space 24 through which the endless chain 12 passes and a chain guide member 26 is attached to the front and rear ends thereof. The chain guide member 26 is attached to the bottom surface of the lower gutter 22, has a slope 28 at the front and back, and has a groove 30 for guiding the chain at the center upper surface.

The upper gutter 10 and the lower gutter 22 have the same length, and sprocket wheels (not shown) are attached to the front and rear ends thereof, respectively. With this sprocket wheel, the endless chain 12 passes through the guide groove 14 of the upper gutter 10 and is guided by the guide member 26 of the lower gutter 22 so that the endless chain 12 is wound around the lower groove so as to rotate. There is. A drive device is attached to the sprocket wheel on the coin carry-out side.

The operation of the apparatus of the present embodiment having the above-described structure will be described. The endless chain 12 is guided by the guide groove 14 of the upper gutter 10 and guided by the upper gutter 10 and the guide member 26 of the lower gutter. It is stretched by two sprocket wheels (not shown) attached to the front and rear ends of the upper gutter 10 and the lower gutter 22 so as to pass through the lower groove 22 and rotate. Therefore, the endless chain 12 can be easily joined by the joint link according to the stretched length.

The upper gutter 10 is composed of a bottom plate 16 and two side plates 20, and at the center of the bottom plate 16, there is a guide groove 14 having a depth shallower than the height of the endless chain 12, and at both ends of the bottom plate 16. The two side plates 20 are erected at intervals so that the coins 18 can pass therethrough, and the endless chain 12 is inserted into the guide groove 14 to rotate, so that the endless chain 12 is When a sprocket wheel (not shown) that is stretched is driven, the coin 18 that has entered the upper gutter 10 is regulated by the side plates 20 on both sides, and the central lower surface of the coin 18 is supported by the endless chain 12 and conveyed.

Since the chain guide members 26 are attached to the front and rear ends of the lower gutter 22, the return endless chain 12 passing through the upper gutter 10 enters the slope 28 of the chain guide member 26 into the up guide groove 30. Since it rotates, even if the endless chain loosely meanders in the space 24 of the lower gutter in the space 24 of the lower gutter, the endless chain does not come off from the sub rocket wheel.
